PRICE OF AMERICAN WOOL


About the Same ~ Last Year In splts a
. Declins Of All Foreign wools-Savssl
by the Mckinley Bill-A Good Outlook
for Our Farmers.
In accounting for the fact that the
price Of American wool has not sub
stantially advanced since the Mckinley
law went into effect, it has been shown
that the benefits of the new law to our
farmers were none the less real because
American wool had only held its own,
that the world prices for woods are very
much lower this year than last in every
country except in the United States.
Australia is the great wool producer
of the world. It appeared that Aus
tralian secured wool declined from "A
cents pound in February, 1890, te 80
cents in March, 1891. On the other
hand. the Mckinley tariff has SO stimu-
lated the domestic markets that the
prices of American woods have not gone
down with this universal fall in foreign
markets.
The fall in Australian wool is strik-
ingly shown in a recent report by Con-
sui Griffin from Sydney. New South
Wales. He says.
highest authorities on Australasian wool the
average price per bale for the season just CLOSED
was only Ell S. I'd, against ETA l9s I'd. for
1889 30. thus showing decline Of H3 lis. I'd. per
bale from that Of the previous season.
And again:
Mr.. Molineaux q reliable authority states
that the average prices Of tho Now South
Wales wools were 20 per cent lower than they
wore twelve months ago. The current prices
throughout the season wore as follows: Super
good greasy fleece. from 20 to 93 cents per
ferior. II cents per pound; superior greasy
lambs wool, 10 to % cents per pound; good
greasy lambs wool. IA to IS cents per pound;
average greasy lambs WOOL IL to IL cents per
pound; inferior lambs wool, 10 to II cents per
pound; secured fleece. g to 80 cents per pound
Under the conditions existing before
the passage of the Mckinley bill, moth
ing could have prevented the prices of
American woods from going down in
sympathy with this decline in the Aus
tralian wool market The Mckinley
law came Just in time to prevent this,
and as a consequence American farmers
this year have been receiving nearly or
quite as much for their wool as it
brought last year. In other words, the
new tariff has robbed foreign wool
growers of the power to depress Ameri-
can wool prices below a reasonable fig
ure. When foreign markets regain
their buoyancy, American woods will
also advance. Wool growers need have
no fears that the Mckinley law has not
done or will not do for them all that was
promised in the great wool campaign of
1885,

An AmIcted Chinamsn Found IDdsstriously
Ironing Shirts In Now York.
NEW YORK, July 1s.-When the rep
resentative Of the health authorities
paid Chin Hop Sing professional visit
yesterday he was industriously ironing
q shirt He has been a leper eight
months, and seven months of that time
he has spent in washing the linen, of
the East siders The health officers
after examination decided that it
was a genuine case OF leprosy, but
say they can not take the man in
charge because they have no place to
take him. A year and half ago when
he came to the city from San Francis
co it was said that he had lived with a
leprous friend in San Francisco and
that he had helped to support him until
the doctors took him away. His cOun-
trymen Stunned him and at last he was
driven into wretched room. where, it
is said, other lepers had hidden. In
that place he lived until fund of $500
was raised to take him back to China.
He took the money and promised to go
away, but only as far as Newark, n.
j., where he invested part of the money
in laundry kept by Ii Chung, also a
leper. Soon afterward he braved the
wrath of the subscribers of the
fund and came to New York.
His head began to swell, his
ears were assuming large proper
tions and his nose had enlarged to a
remarkable size. Besides, his eyelashes
had dropped out and he was getting
bald. He went to the laundry of his
cousin, Chin Es, and demanded admit
tance. The cousin was afraid to send
him away, SO he let him sleep there un-
til morning. When Chin En- awoke and
saw how Hop Sing looked he was terri
fed and offered to sell out for $50. The
bargain was made and Chin En- has not
been seen since. Chin Hop Sing took
possession of the shop Immediately and
went right on with the business. He
has been washing and ironing clothes
there ever since.

Trade Under the New Tariff.

Before the enactment of the tariff bill
by the Fifty-first congress, predictions
were freely made by the free trade
press that the raising of the ''Chinese
wall" of protection must decrease the
volume of our foreign trade and that
the ultimate result must be to confine
us altogether to our home market.
1t is easy now to test these prophecies
in the light of events. The new tariff
has been in operation now for about
eight months. The official report of the
treasury department as to the values of
imports and exports of merchandise for
the months ending April so, and for the
four months ending at the same time,
gives the following figures:

FARM NOTES.

In order to keep up the land it will
be necessary to turn everything under
that will be of an advantage, whether
chemically or mechanically.
Land for fall wheat should be plowed
as soon as possible after the crops are
taken off. One deep. thorough plowing
is better than two skimmings-
One of the most important essentials
in securing good crop of wheat is
good seed, and it should be secured in
good season so as to be ready when
needed.
Save all of the wheat straw, by pur-
with it; a very good ration for growing
stock can be made up that will be
economical.
1t is important if grass seed is to he
sown in the fall to arrange so that the
work can be done early in order that
the plants may be able to secure agOod
start to grow before cold weather sets
in. Have the soil prepared in good
tilth before sowing the seed, and to
this end it is best to plow thoroughly
and then harrow, drag or roll until the
desired condition is obtained
AS garden vegetable spinach IS de-
serving of more attention than it COM
monty receives. The plant is extremely
hardy and resists cold we'll, growing
even in the winter, with but slight pro-
lection. 1t should be sown in drills in
rich soil, with the rows far enough
apart for culture with hoe. For very
be f.l Il
cover with straw to protect from the
severity of winter.
A writer of experience says: Cock
ing up hay is, generally. pure waste
of labor and more. 1t Is not necessary
to the proper curing of hay. 1t is ad-
visable only when there is hay in the
field that cannot be drawn in until the
next day and a rain during the night is
certainty. Even then it scarcely pays,
unless the cocks are covered To cock
up hay simply to cure it is unnecessary,
and as it leaves the hay longer in the
field exposed to dew and rain, it is GER
tainly not advisable.
Often we see plows left in the furrow
where last used. Mowers and horse
rakes are left in the meadows where
the last bout of grass was cut and the
reaper where the last sheaf in the har-
vest was thrown. The farmer was too
much in a hurry just then to haul them
to a shed; he was going to do it the very
next day. But the next day some other
pressing work comes up and these cost
ly implements are exposed to heat and
rain and all the changes of the weather;
and so loss and expenses are sure to
follow a neglect which one hours extra
labor would have avoided

dition, are essential.
1t is an important item during the
next two months to make the stock on
the farm as comfortable as possible.
Animals that are su ffering from heat
cannot thrive as they should.
After the hogs are once put on full
feed they should have all that they will
eat up clean at each meal. but not more
than this, as it is adding to the cost to
waste feed. the same as when they are
not fed all they can eat
With no class of stock is it desirable
to breed SO as to have them come in
while the weather is hot and dry. The
two months of winter, December and
January, and July and August in sum-
mer, are undesirable for parturition.
In feeding it is an item to give the
sow such materials as will secure a
good growth and development of bone
and muscle. Bran, middlings and oats
make a better ration for feeding the
sows that are sucking pigs than corn.
1t is quite possible to support one
head of cattle upon one acre of land bv
a proper system of culture. If this
system were common it would increase
the number of productive stock four or
five times, and bring proportionate
amount of land into profitable use for
other crops.
Water should not be given to horses
when it is ice-cold. 1t may not be
necessary to add hot water, but we
should be careful in placing water
troughs about our barns to have them
in such position that the sun may
shine upon them during the winter
mornings.
One of the most important items in
making hogs profitable is a quick
growth and early maturity, and this
cannot be secured without good man.
agement No matter how good the
breed, careless in management, either
in feeding, breeding or caring for them.
will interfere to such an extent with
the growth and development as to leave
but little if any margin for protit-COr.

IMPROVING THE SERVICE.

The Army Doing BETTER BY Going Into the
Country For Recruits.
WASHINGTON, July l6-Ever since
public and official attention was direct
ed to the subject of the frequency Of
desertions from the army, a year or SO
ago, there has been a determined effort
on the part of the authorities to inn
prove the quality of the material with
which the service was recruited in the
belief that in this lay the remedy Of
the great evil. Extra endeavors were
made to secure young men who sought
the army as a profession rather than as
a haven of refuge, and to this end the
efforts of recruiting officers have been
systematically turned away from cities
towards the country. The new system
has just begun to show its fruits. and is
more than justifying the expectations
of those who inaugurated it An officer
q of the adjutant-generals department
who had charge of this work remarked
recently:
I'VE are having very good luck with
our later recruits, and think that the
army to-day is composed of a better
class of people than ever before. We
have abandoned the city field almost
entirely for the country. where we are
more apt to find vigorous young men.
