AN Alsatlan, through whose farm
the German masters OF the country
have run railway, has shown his re-
sentiment in a novel manner All
along the railway hehas planted rows
of violets, daisies, and red corn-pop-
pies, and the tri-color of France, rep
resented in these flowers, greet the
eye Of the astonished traveller who
look from the car window as he pass
i es that way. They grow on his own
land, and the Suppression OF this Asa
tian patriot is a problem likely to tax
the craftsmanship Of Germany to its
utmost.

A CLERGYMAN at a, summer resort
the other Sunday preached an elo-
quent sermon, which pleased every.
body except one lady, who openly
declared that she had heard the same
sermon preached ten years ago by a
visiting clergy man at her own church.
Things looked a little bad for the
clergyman until he proved that he
was the visiting clergy man in question.
In the interval he had grown stout
and raised a heavy full beard. so that.
she did not recognize him.

Humbuc mckinley Prices. -

Cotton has for some months been from
20 to 30 per cent. lower than last year,
and in consequence of this the manufac-
turers have been able to produce all
kinds of cotton goods at considerably
less cost to themselves than last year
AS natural result of this the prices of
some kinds of goods have fallen, although
many have not
This situation affords delightful OBJ
portunity for the Mckinley organs, and
they are making use of it for all it is
worth. They are tumbling over one an
other in their eager haste to point to
MCKINLEY prices" for cotton goods,
and to denounce the Democrats as
Liars" for even saying that the McKin-
ley law would increase the cost of cloth
ing.
In its eagerness to show forth the
beauties of McKinleyism, the organ of
the American Protective Tariff league
takes up the case of cotton hannels and
tries to show that there has been f.u
in prices. To show this it processes to
quote prices from the New York Dry
Goods Economist for April, 1890, six
months before the Mckinley law took
effect, and to compare them with prices
given by the same paper in July of this
year. But The Dry Goods Economist
calls up the protection organ very sharp
1y and shows it that it '.makes the eyre
gious error of comparing agents prices
at one date with those of jobbers at an
other" and that ''the facts are that both
agents and jobbers' prices were the same
in 1891 as in 1890, while in the interval
between quotations. the price of raw ma
terial had dropped % per cent"
Besides this, cotton hannels are coarse
goods in which there is no increase Of
duty.

Carrots for stock.

A Massachusetts farmer pronounces
the carrot the best root crop for stock in
this country Its freedom from disease
and its good keeping qualities are greatly
in its favor as an important farm crop.
1t is an excellent root for horses as we'll
as for cattle and sheep 1t not only con-
tains much nutriment itself, but when
fed in connection with hay, grain or fod-
der-as it always should be-in small
quantities, it aids largely in the diges-
ton of the drier food, so that more of it
is assimilated and there is but little loss.
In the north the carrots must be harvest
ed in good season and be kept from freez-
ing, but in the south they may be left in
the ground quite often through the entire
winter without injury. But it is in the
north they are most common and valua-
BILE as food for farm stock. Every farm
er should at least raise enough for his
own use, and people in towns who keep
animals will find it not only useful but
economical to buy them and use them in
connection with dry forage.

MOTHER MOTH, EGGS, CoCooNs AND CAT
ERPIILAR
ing the summer months will busy her
self depositing clusters of eggs on the
small twigs of the apple trees, as shown
at C.
The easiest and surest method of war
fare is to clip these twigs with their
nests full of eggs and burn them at any
time between now and next spring. If
left they will hatch in early spring, the
young caterpillars will crawl down the
limbs to a fork and start little white
silk nest, as seen at d, and from this
home go out during the bright and sunny
part Of every pleasant day to pasture on
the leaves. Many may be destroyed by
burning these silk homes when they first
appear with torch of paper and kero-
sene fastened in stiff wire and attached
to a long pole Many apple growers
have destroyed them by firing heavy
charges of powder into them from guns
or large pistols All these remedies
must be used mornings and evenings.
Any that escape will crawl off after they
are full grown, as at e, and spin silk
cocoons as represented on the block of
wood at b Within this the insect
changes to pupa, remains about three
weeks, and emerges as the moth, to lay
more eggs and die.
Better strike the little nests of eggs
now and shoot or burn their pretty silk
homes wherever seen in the spring. Pro-
fessor Comstock adds that spraying the
trees with paris green as soon as the
leaves appear will poison the caterpillars
in their feed. and is one of the best ways
| of fighting them.

An Incnmn Tax.

The Boston Herald, one of the most
conservative journals in the country,
thinks that the feeling in favor of graded
income tax lis not very serious as yet"
but it has for sometime felt that the ten
dency of legislation is TO provoke it. If
the high tariffs have their free sway" it
says, "our opinion is that it is very likely
to come
The reason for this conclusion, says
the New York World. is that the opera
ton of high tariff is in harmony with
its avowed purpose to reduce revenue )
by preventing importations. Taken in
connection with enormously increased
expenditures, this policy will, if main
tanned, render direct taxation necessary;
and the Boston Herald holds that direct
taxation will surely come first in the
taxation of incomes-for the men who
vote are in the proportion of the men
likely to pay income taxes as about 500
to one"
And this would be a just as well as a
likely result, the Springfield Register
adds. The persons chiefly responsible
for the increase of the burdensome tariff
taxes on the universal necessities of the
people are the wealthy beneficiaries of
this system. If they and the other rich
men of the country are made to pay di.
recilY a large part of the extravaganza of
protection congresses there will be an
improved chance for more economic a.
goYernment.

INVESTIGATION by the Massachusetts
bureau of labor statistics has developed
the fact that while the manufactures of
ready >made clothing in that state are pro-
tected by an average duty of more than
so per cent, and while their net annual
profit is 80 per cent, they pay to labor
only 60 to so cents day. What further
argument is needed to show that the 60
per cent. tariff is levied for the beneii of
the capitalist and not for that of the wage
