This Interests Farmers.

If every man in Kansas who raises
corn or wheat, or cattle or mules, and
every merchant who is indirectly bene-
flied by the prosperity of the Kansas
farmer. Is not interested in having Mex.
lean hux ores put on the free list, as
step toward inducing Mexico to admit
our farm products into that country
free OF duty, then the Champion is sim
ply mistaken The admission of these
ores free of duty simply means the
opening up to Kansas farmers of the
best market within easy access. and the
refusal to do so, means our exclusion
from that market That is all there /.

a stakeholder of one of the cotton
mills in South Carolina recently stated
in n debate in the Legislature of that
State that many of the cotton mills
there are making as much as twenty
five per cent in dividends These South
Carolina cotton mills grew up without
any protection at all against the we'll
established mills of the North; vet they
have gone forward developing skill and
capacity and growing rich. The pro-
tectionists tell us that this can not be
done A favorite doctrine of theirs Is
that infant industries can not
spring up and flourish in a new
country without protective duties.
Yet they are springing up and
hourishing in South Carolina and in all
parts of the South. That part of the
country has got control of the market
for coarser yarns and fabrics and has
begun already to make the finer fabrics
Precisely the same thing is happening
in India This country belongs to Eng
land and has no protective tariff against
it; yet cotton spinning and weaving has
been developing in India with astonish-
ing rapidity within the past few years
In the face of this fact it is pretended
that our cotton mills need protection
against England.
What becomes of the infant indus
try" argument in view of this develop
ment in South Carolina and in India?

AMONG THE POULTRY.
[St. Louis Republic. |


Generally, all fowls that feather
slowly are hardy.
CUT hay or clover, sprinkle bran or
meal over it and then scald with hot
water; this makes good feed for poul-
try
WHILE the profits on commercial
poultry are usually smaller than on
fancy, they are generally much more
sure.
BEEF or pork cracl<lings, mixed with
corn-meal or wheat bran and baked,
make an excellent feed for poultry of
all kinds.
IF you can Lot afford to have full
bred chickens, purchase at least full
blood rooster to cross with your COM
mon hens.
THERE is certainly no economy in
compelling poultry to stand around in
the cold mud all day; better keep them
under shelter.
GEESE can be picked regularly every
six weeks after the first of May, and
the feathers secured will pay well for
the trouble of keeping them.
RUBBISH under which rats can harbor
should not be allowed near the poultry
house or yards Rats often prove very
destructive to young poultry.
NEVER use long, gangling, over
grown rooster for breeding. 1t is near
~ impossible to fill them up and they
never make good table fowl
The little chickens that are kept in
the brooders should be watered regular
ly. Give them what they will drink
without getting themselves wet
PEKIN ducks excel nearly or quite all
breeds Of chickens as egg producers
They will lay an egg every twentyfour
hours after they once begin until hot
weather.
AS 4 general rule, hens should never
be. fed so much that they will not
scratch. Better scatter some of the
grain among the litter and let them
scratch for it.

Corn Fodder for the Dairy.

Corn fodder is good dairy feed, but
unless it is run through the cutter it Is
very inconvenient to feed, and the I'M
eaten stalks are great bother in the
manure. A good plan when it is not
convenient to use cutter is to take
Ratchet or corn-knife and cut the stalks
into three or four pieces, rejecting the
butts and only feeding the softer and
better parts of the stalks; this plan will
only answer when few COWS are kept
and help is scarce. If the fodder is
bright and well cured the cows will do
very well on it but it ought to be fed in
the early part of the winter, for late in
the season it gets very hard and harsh
and the cows do not like it SO well.
Where there is plenty of hay good
plan is to feed hay in the stable and
feed the fodder in racks in the yard in
the middle of the day. In this way the
fodder will not need to be cut, the cows
will eat all the leaves and huslxs and the
stalks being thrown out daily viii be
broken up and will absorb much of the
liquid manure.-Colman's Rural World

PROF. WRIGHToN says agriculture is
a born science. It is full of botany,
zoology, geology and entomology. 1t is
full of chemistry, from the soil to the
growing plant, the rpening seed and
the animal life which is the outcome.

Poultry-Keeping Pays Wen.

From many years experience, I be-
lieve, taking one year with another,
poultry keeping under proper condi-
tons, will pay better than any other
industry connected with farming, con-
sidering the amount of capital invested
If any one tells you he can make a
profit of d or SIS per year on every hen,
or more on every duck, you may make
up your mind that he has a secret which
the ordinary farmer does not possess.
My accounts show that when grain is
worth sixty cents per bushel. poultry
can be grown for seven or eight cents
per pound, and eggs for ten cents per
dozen. This will give from. S1.50 to
81 profit on each fowl, if one manages
shrewdly and economically. In this
calculation / reckon the manure as a
compensation for the labor.-American
cultivation

A Suggestion worth Considering.

1t is well known that oil is commonly
used incidentally in cases of consumption
in persons. 1t has been proved that a
diet largely consisting of cotton-seed
oil has been effective in the treatment
and cure of this disease. Why may it
not be beneficial to use this oil in the
shape of cotton-seed meal more largely
than heretofore as food for the cows in
diaries where the whole effort is to
draw out the last drop Of fat from the
system to enrich the milk? Raw cot
ton-seed oil is cheap enough to use as
food, and if fed with the bran so lib
orally used it would reduce the pro
portion of heterogeneous elements in the
food and increase the fats.-Henry
Stewart.

answered Mrs Breezy.
Then Mr.. Wilcox asked what steps
they had taken to discover who Mr..
limerick really was since he went away

"All that has been done did my
self." said Eugene. II went down to
the Office of limerick & Co on Pearl
limerick was in Buenos Ayres." Eu-
gene then recounted what e had heard
while the door was closing.
After this very little information Of
Importance was gained from the mother
and son, but before they left. after
being entertained during the evening
by Mrs. Delaro and Armida, Mr.. Wilcox
said to Mrs. Breezy: "Inasmuch as the
carelessness of our coachman was the
cause of your sons accident, and as you
persistentiy refuse any recompense.
you must allow me- to do one thing"
what is that Mr.. Wilcox?" said
Mrs. Bregy in . pleasant manner.
''You must permit US to make some
inquiries regarding this Mr.. limerick
and give us permission to find out all
we can about him." he:.replied.
In grateful tone the woman replied:

men of Chicago and Wisconsin in favor
of free degras, and anbther to the same
effect came from the great shoe and
leather industries Of Massachusetts,.
signed by about 200 firms representing
more than S100, 600, 0D of annual prod
uct.
Then there was the usual pretty tariff
squabble; but in tariff fight the dog
that asks for protection always gets the
bone. while the dog that asks to be let
alone gets kicked and cuffed BY the
givers of tariff bones. The great leather
industry asked to be let alone, to have
no higher duty or no duty at all on de-
gras- 1t is the very nature of McKin-
leyism to kick industries which make
such free trade requests, and the leather
industry got kicked. The duty on de-
gras was changed from 10 per cent ad
valorem to half cent per pound. This
duty is equal to from % to 20 per cent.
ad valorem. and is an increase, there
fore. of from $50 to 500 per cent on the
old rte
But this was not the only advantage
given to the menhaden oil trust The
duty on their oil under the old tariff
law was % per cent ad valorem, a duty
which the Mills bill proposed to abol-
ish altogether, as the industry does not
need it Nearly one-third of the men
haden oil is exported and there is no
mention of any imports But the Nc
Kinley law changed the % per cent.
duty to specific duty of s cents per
gallon The average price of menhaden
oil last year was about "a cents gallon;
and the Mckinley duty, therefore, is
equal to S33< per cent.

REV. MIR. TELFORD TALKS.
His Topic Last Evening Was, "WiIt Thou
BE Made WhOle?"


The Rev. 4. p. Telford conducted the
third of his series of revival meetings at
the Mathewson street NJ +. church last
evening. His text was taken from st.
John, VIC: "Will thou be made wholeY'
Mr.. Telford then said "All bible writers
and commentators speak especially of the
Pool of Bethesda, giving reasons for its
power of curing disease. The most likely
theory il that an angel came down and
troubled these waters. Now this man
that we read of in the scriptures had lain
by this pool for thirty-eight years. Jesus
told him to wash in the pool and he would
he made whole. Then his Master said,
Sin no more" Evidently the mans
sickness had been on the account OF his
sins.
II there is anyone here who has not
realized salvation whose fault is il Is it
his mothers? Is IL the fault of Jesus
No, it is his own. God calls, and entreats
but he never breaks our will. Suppose to-
night that your heart was as clean as a
piece of white paper. How long would
you keep il so ? In less than an hour you
would have a blot upon it. My friend
your exterior may be very nice but in
wardly you are full Of sin. There is but
one way To cure IT, Look TO Jesus. He
has the power to save. He has the power
to make anew. When Jesus cured that
man by the pool of Bethesda he said TO
him, "Take up thy bed and walk" And
he did, and he was cured. Whatever dis
ease the devil puts into man Jesus can
take out. This is good theology.

A Letter in Answer to Mr.. n. G.
CIark's Allegations.

A correspondent, for the accuracy OF
whose information the NEWS can vouch.
sends the following;
PROVIDENCE, Oct. 26.
TO the Editor Of the Neics:
SIR-In an article published in your
issue of the 24th inst, over the signature
of H. &. CLARK, that gentleman states as
facts some things which, il he had looked
up for himself, I think he would not have
written. They are so misleading that
many Of our citizens and taxpayers may
form a wrong impression.
There are three answers TO his allega-
tions against the Committee on Terminal
Facilities paying larger prices in the mod
ified contract than i'm the original.
First, the original contract called for
dredging soft mud the modified contract
for dredging "A part OF the park on Cove
Promenade, solid ground.
Second, if he had got such information
as he should he would have found
how much Of the increase in the cost of
driving piles and Gaping walls was done
for the railroads and paid for by them.
Third he would have ascertained that the
building of the Moshassuck river rs it is
now being built, is "A saving to the city of
$50, 600 over the estimated cost of the so
called Goddard plan, which contemplated
building the wall down Canal street,
which has certainly accomplished a say
ing To the city i'm first cost, and obviated
all danger of damages by oyertlowing OF
the cellars on Canal street.
These are facts easily obtained, and in
Justice to the committee should be known.
