BEAUTIES or PROTECTION.

In a tabulated statement the Pitts
burg Dispatch sets forth the profits
earned in 1890 by the different iron
firms of that city. It was prepared
by Mr.. N Dale, an expert, and it GER
tainly demonstrates that protection
is a good thing-for the iron manu-
facturers. Following is the list:
Pennsylvania Forge company. $4,000.
Chess, Cook u Co., $4,000.
Pitisburg Forge aud Iron works,
$4,000. .
keystone works, 100000.
Millvale works, $4,000.
Republic Iron works, $175.O00
Moorhead Bros. a. CO., 100000.
Soho Iron works, $45O,O00.
Sligo Iron works, 100000.
Lindsay & McCutcheon, $1,000
}. Painter, Sons u Co., 100000.
Sable Iron works, &l44.0OO.
Lloyd. Sons Il Co. $4,000.
Solar Iran II Steele works, 100000.
Brown Il Co., $1,000 00.
Howe, Brown & Co, $4O0 900.
Shoenherger & Co., $756.OOO
Singer, Minnie IL Co.. $5O0.0O0.
Spang, Chaliant IL Co.. 100000.
A. M. B,ers Il Co., $900.000.
Park Bros. & Co. 100000
Oliver Iron and Steel company, ST.
500 600.
Jones & Janghlins, $2.4O0,O09
Carnegie Bros. and Carnegie, Phipps d.
Co., $5.000.0 O0.
Dinden Steel works, 100000.
Miller, Metcalf, Parkin & Co, $500, 600.
Labelle Steel mill, $50. 000.
Snang Steel and Iron works, 100000
Glendon Snike works, Sl25,000.
Pittsbnrg Tube works, $40. 600.
Pennsylvania Tube works, e.. 100000.
This is quite an elegant exhibition
of earnings, due, SO far as excess of
legitimate profits are concerned, tothe
tariff. 1t will be noted that the Car
negie Bros. made a cleau up of
$5,OO0,00O, and of course they are ar
dent supporters Of the protective sys
tenn, the senior Mr.. Carnegie being an
ardent supporter Of that policy. He
finds it quite profitable to be a pro-
tectionist.

THE prospects for the Teton and Valley
county bills becoming laws during the
present week are excellent. The Teton
bill Is likely to pass the house today. and
it will meet prompt approval in the sen
ate. The Valley bill has passed the SEN
ate, and 1t is understood will meet like
favor in the lower Legislative branch.

GREAT FALLS.

"AAA0 Cho ooooOh "a LOU LOS uOt
yet opened there is evidence of &C
tivity on every hand and brighter
prospects for Great Falls than ever
before in her history. Contracts have
been let and plans are being prepared
mp to this time for buildings that will
cost v $5OO,OOO without including
the Butte and Boston smelter, the
plans and details of which are being
perfected at the company's Office in
Boston. The structure to be erected
by the First National bank and
Townsite company will alone cost in
the neighborhood of 1925, 900. and
that of the Great Falls Realty COM
pany will be a close second in the
matter of cost and extent. These
buildings are singled out of many
others now in course of erection be-
cause they will be exceptionally fine
structures, equal if not superior to
any in the state. While our city
more than doubled in population in
1890 and buildings sprang up every
where as if by magic, this year will
witness a greater growth and at the
same time a more substantial one.
No other Mon ana city will keep pace
with Great Falls this year in the
march Of progress. This is already
an evident fact and as the season ad
C no II can doubt it.
In real estate there is even now
much activity. The list of sales of
lots by the Townsite company since
the first of this month, published else
where, is good evidence of the fact.
The several real-estate agents have
also been active and their sales are
unusually large for this season. The
demand for realty will be constantly
increasing, and a lively business is an
assurance. While prices are of course
higher than they were last year there
are still golden opportunities to make
big money" in Great Falls dirt, and
many will profit by them.
We publish in another column the
information that Mr.. Guthrie of
Foley Bros. d Guthrie will arrive
here in a few days to begin work on
the railroad extensions into Neihart
aud Barker. This means a closer
union of Great Falls and these rich
mineral districts with reciprocal
benefits. The city and camps will
alike feel the good results.
With the return of spring work on
an extensive scale will be resumed in
the Boston e. Montana smelter and
the present year will sec that great
enterprise completed. The Butte &
Boston will also be under way and
the capacity of the silver smalter will
be largely increased. From an in
dustrial standpoint. 1891 will be a red
letter year for Great Falls.
In connection with the completion
of the dam will come the appliance
for various purposes of electricity,
first to be manifested in the extension
of electric railway lines to all parts
of the city and suburbs. 1t is given
out authoritatively that Great Falls
will have twelve miles of electric rail
way this year.
We have mentioned some of the
evidences of Great Falls prosperity
and the factors that produce it, but
may others could be cited. The cata-
logue is a long one. 1t might be
added that our people are not selfish
and that they extend to everybody an
invitation to join with them in build
ing up at the Missouri river cataracts
the greatest city between Minneapolis
and the Pacific ocean,.

cows CLEAN BY CONFUSION

To ''board up managers SO high that
stock cannot reach forward far enough
to soil the platform on which they
stand" is well, but it does not always eff
feet the purpose, writes O. S. Bliss. I
have had COWS that no shortening of
their stalls, before or behind, whether in
stanchions or otherwise held, would re-
strain from not only soiling the platform,
but themselves. One which was SO val
liable that very much disliked to part
with her tried my patience for long
while, and | adopted various expedients,
only to be beaten every time. She would
arch her back and crowd her hind feet
almost to the fore ones, in spite of every
thing in front OF her. l finally, as a last
resort, with u view to turn her out if she
failed, hung frame down from the cell
ing over her back. The plank across
her back was six inches wide This she
contrived to get down by vigorous lift
ing and swaying herself from side to
side. | then put up another, the cross
piece Of which was made of good tim
Der, but five-eighths CT an inch thick
where it came in contact with her back
about six or eight inches behind the
shoulders. It was placed about al inch
above her back when standing in her
natural position, and was firmly braced
in its place. 1t accomplished the pur-
pose most effectually. She was later on
given much more freedom of action in
her place, and from being always soiled
OH legs, flank and udder, became as neat
and clearly as could be desired. The eff
feet was in no wise harmful. She was
simply compelled either to abandon the
bad habit of doubling herself up or to
back away from under the sharp edge of
timber and step down from the plat
form. She tried both, and eventually
accepted the first, and has since been all
right 1t should be added that she is
fastened in her stall beside another COW
on the opposite side by a strap around
her neck with a running ring upon an
upright stanchion at her shoulGer.-Ne0

CHANGING EGGS.

One Of the practices among farmers is
changing eggs with each other in order
to avoid in-breeding. In the first place,
the eggs themselves are risk, as no one
can tel what they may produce, perhaps
no two chicks from them being alike
and no breeding Of value in the stock.
In the next place, the changing of eggs
makes the t1ocks in community all of
one blood, so that really nothing can be
gained by the practice after it has been
persisted in for a while. Get pure-bred
males from some source, or eggs from,
some breeder of pure breeds. If you
must cross, do it correctly. Do not
waste time il the attempt to better your
flock by changing eggs for some monde
script stock that has no merit nor pos
sesses any advantage. To improve a
flock. one should know the kind of stock
he is using, and what can be expected
from it. The changing of eggs is a
practice usually pursued by those who do
not know the value Of the breeds, and
such persons should not be encouraged.

RAILING HAY,

The baling of hay does not add to its
feeding value in any way, and would not
pay for mere ease of storing it. But for
transportation it is indispensable. The
bee. machines are those presses known as
continuous-thati is, they take in hay at
one. end and turn out bales at the other
without stopping. A press worked with
two horses and costing about S14O will
turn out ten tons or 100 bales, in ten
hours, with three men. No. IL wire of
soft iron, made specially for this purpose,
is used The fasteuings are hooks and
eyes, which are purchased ready made.

WHEN TO SELL HOGS.

Sell your hogs when you can get the
most money for them at the least outlay
The ups and downs of prices we cannot
readily control, but by careful attention
TO feeding and the use of the scales we
can tell closely whether We are making
corn into pork at profit or not. If not,
there ought to be change of ration or
an immediate sale of marketabl stock
1t does not pay to hold beyond the time
Of profitable growth and fattening. Most
successful feeders believe it pays best one
year with another to sell the pork when
the highes5 point in gain has been
reach, letting the question of probable
higher prices alone. Corn used in keep
ing over fattened hogs will make twice
as much pork if given to other animals.
It is losing game to hold for an in
crease of price as a rule. Make all the
pork you can out Of your corn i'll just

A Double Tragedy.

A tragedy has been enacted at Toplitz
Austria, which has caused a profound
sensation among the aristocratic sojourners
at tnat famous watering place. Lieutenant
Reinisch, an officer of high standing
in the Austrian army, had successfully
wooed the young Baroness Schonau, but for
some reason the parents Of the lady refused
to 1--WE their consent to the match. The
Lieutenant urged his fiancee to marry him
clandestinely, but she declined. The officer
called upon the Baroness and in a final in
terview renewed his plea for an elopement.
Finding her respect for parental mandates
greater than her desire to accede to his
wishes, the Lieutenant, mad with disappoint-
ment and grief drew a revolver and shot
the Baroness through the heart. The mother
of the unfortunate lady, hearing the shot
rushed into the room just as the Lieutenant
fired a second shot into his own breast and
fell dead beside the body of his victim.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Artificial stimulants are rarely needed
by fowls.
Warm, dry quarters are essential to the
laying hens.
Fat is better protection for fowls
against cold than pepper.
Dry or whole grain should never be
fed exclusively tc laying hens.
The queen cells are elongated and are
the ones in which queens are reared.
Sunhowers and sorghum can always be
fed to advantage without threshing.
Remember that the Lyringas will
thrive and do we'll in almost any soil and
situation.
A tablespoonful OF ginger in a quart
of water is a good remedy for securing
in poultry.
"R1pe" honey is honey which has by
evaporation become sufficiently thick to
be sealed in the cell.
Sprinkling fine ashes or lime over the
walls and roosts is ore of the cheapest
and best remedies for lice.
Soft soap rubbed on the legs and al
lowed to remain on a short time is a
good remedy for scaly legs.
The Polyantha roses, which bear their
small double flowers in clusters, are what
is known as perpetual bloomers, and are
good sort to have in ones garden.
At recent meeting at St. GATHERINGS,
Canada, vote was taken on the ques-
ton of outdoor versus indoor wintering
of bees. The majority favored packing
on summer stands.
Seeds should always be planted IN
fresh, most soil. If the soil is dry, it
draws the moisture from the seed, if it
contains any, and the seed has to lie and
await the necessary moisture before it
can sprout.
A calf can be prevented from having
horns by an application of crude potash
to the spot where the Incl pient horn
can be felt. The cost is next to nothing.
The plan Of dehorning is gaining in
favor and done in this way has much to
commend it.
Thomas G. Newman urges the import
ance of making bee and honey exhibits
at the agricultural fairs, and gives some
very good reasons for so doing. There
is 10 doubt about the attractiveness to
the average fair goer of bees in glassed
hives and honey in glass crates.
A herd of eighteen COWS in Vermont
produced 1G2 pounds of butter per year
for each COW. The amount is not large
one compared with the records of noted
COWS, but it is excellent for a herd, and
shows what dairymen can do by using
well-bred COWS and giving them proper
care.
A New York farmer raised an acre of
sunfowers for seed, and found that the
seed was an excellent addition to grain
for the use of hogs and poultry, small
mill being used to grind it for hogs.
The stalks made excellent kindling
wood and the heads and seeds were
ground together.
If you cannot grind or pulvarize the
old bones you can reduce them by laying
them in wood ashes, and keeping the
mass damp, not wet. A small quantity
! of urine, poured over the bones and ashes
occasionally, will hasten the decomposi-
ton of the bones. If you cannot do this
bury the bones around the fruit trees
| and grapevines.

Cruel Massacre of Wounded Sol
diers BY CHILEAN Rebels.

dispatch from Santiago gives an official
version Of the recent battle in Chill. From
this it appears that Colonel Robles. who COM
manded the Government troops being short
of provisions, rashly abandoned a strong po-
sition on Mount Sebastopol, and, with 1900
infantry, twenty-five cavalry and a few
guns, attacked force OF 300 rebels At a
critical moment the enemy, by a decoy
truce for a parley, opened a fearful fire at
close quarters, killing or wounding two
thirds OF the Government troops Colonel
Robes was shot In the foot early in the bat
tie. He secured another mount after the
bullet had been extracted from his wound:
but he was again wounded, in the side and
was placed in an ambulance. The rebels
captured the ambulance, and their leader
threatened TO shoot all who were with the
wounded man unless Colonel Robes was in
dictated to him. An attendant pointed out
Colonel Robes, whereupon the Colonel was
fired at by the rebels being riddled With
eleven balls, besides being hacked with bay
onets and indescribably mutilated.
A general massacre of wounded officers
ensued. OF the wounded men, 264 were
allowed to proceed to Valparaiso, but per
Colonel Robes there. The loss of toe in
surgents is estimated at 300 killed and 400
wounds ed. Their account of the battle can
not be procured at present
President Balmaceda admits the gravity
of the disaster, which places the province of
Tarapaca entirely in the hands OF the insur-
gents. The President says, however, that
the Government has 80 600 troops at it's dis
posal. The Government also has an ample
supply of funds. The future scene Of opera.
tions will probably be nearer Valparaiso.
The French Government has acceded to
the recent request of the Chilian revolution
lists, who asked that the Gillian warships
just completed at Toulon ami destined for
the service of President Balmaceda should
not be allowed to depart.

PREPARING SHEEP SKINS.

Make a paste with fresh lime in water,
thicker than whitewash, and spread it
over the flesh side of the skin, and then
fold it together so as to leave the wool
out. In day or two, or more, it will
be ready to pull; try it by examining
Sometimes fresh wood ashes Is added to
the lime in making the paste, and some
persons use wood ashes wholly. This is
the old method Country Gentleman.

IMPORTANCE OF CORN HUsKs.

Doubtless to most farmers the husk on
corn as we'll as the chaff of grain seems a
useless appendage, though apparently un-
avoidable. But when all corn and other
grain grew wild the husk was a very neces-
sary part Of the plant, to preserve the seed
from vicissitudes of weather until the
time came for it to grow again. Corn in
the husl and on the stalk dries out be-
fore its vitality can be injured by severe
freezing. The ightest frost nips the
husk. which thereafter dries up and
forms dry covering over the grain. 1t
is for this reason, rather than from mere
shiftlessness and laziness, that many
Western farmers who grow Dent corn
leave it until nearly spring before they
husk it. If they threw bushels of wet
ears in heap they would either rot
down if the weather was warm or freeze
SO as to kill the germ during weather
when the thermometer went down to
zero. But the husk in cultivated corn
each year grows of less Importance as
better means are devised for drying corn
artifcially. 1t is likely that improved
corn may be bred with very few husks,
making the work of clearing them off
much less difficult. Boston Culicat0r.
EFFECT OF IRREGULAR SHEEP FEEDING.
One Of the defects Of a large quantity
of wool which finds its way to our mar
kets is an unevennesS in the size and
strength of its fibre. This greatly re-
duces the value of the wool for manufac-
turing purposes, and necessarily dimin-
ishes the price which it will command.
The cause of this defect is usually to be
found in irregular feeding, or in undue
exposure of the animals, with consequent
injury to their health. If the sheep are
well fed part of the time and poorly fed
at other periods, the fibre of their wool
will certainly be uneven. Anything
which Injuries the health or reduces the
strength of the animal will have the same
effec. Not q few farmers who have
been obliged to sell their wool at low
prices have blamed the purchasers for
paving so little, but the latter have been
merely acting for self-protection. The
sheep from which the wool was taken
had been badly kept, and the wool was
of an inferior quality because Of this
want of skill in feeding and caring for
the flock. No way has yet been discov-
cred by which sheep. Or any other ami
