AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

No FARMER can afford to buy manure
until he has first made use of every
pound produced at home.
LOOK sharply to see that no sour food
is given to the chicks. unless it be milk.
Meal mixed with water or milk soon
sours and is not wholesome food for
chickens. They may live on such treat
ment, but they cannot thrive, and this
rapid growth is what pays.
MATURE animals are best for breed
ing purposes Many herds or foclSs
have deteriorated because of the an
nual selection of young and immature
animals for breeding. An animal that
is not fully matured is lacking IN vigor
and its offspring will inherit many of
its defects
THE copper solutions if taken in time
will keep in check the anthracnose OF
the raspberry. They will not prevent
the development of the disease in new
canes in diseased plants. If the disease
becomes troublesome a new plantation
should be made, using plants free from
contagion.
NEVER be deceived and feed your
hens because they run after you every
time you appear, as it is due to edu-
cation you have given them, being
only habit. Make them work. An
idle. lazy hen will not lay eggs. When
you notice hen scratching and forag-
ing you will find an egg in her nest
AN exchange says: "A man of genius
may find profit in sheep, no matter

sell when he has nothing to sell. This
is business, not theory"

In laying out our grounds there was
quite large quantity of earth taken
from the walks, these being filled with
rubble and gravel. AS the yard was al

have a mound, so all the rubbish around
the place was carted to the spot Sc

There never was such a disgraceful ex-
b ;bition Of the use of the presidential
office for family profit as that which this
administration has made, says the Boston
Post. From his own brother, whom he
made United States marshal in Tennessee
at a salary OF $4,000, to his father in laws
niece's husband, whom he made a post
office clerk at $4,000, there was hardly d
member OF the Harrison, Mckee and
Scott families whom this Repu blican
President did not compel the public to
support. The Harrison bread and butter
brigade drew about $4,000 year from
the United States treasury, in addition to
the salary of the President himself.
The American people never before saw
such humiliating spectacle as that
which this Republican administration
offered.

The Force Bill in the Campaign.

Disclaim, dodge, temporize and belittle
as they will, the Republican press cannot
shield their party from the ignomy of
having secured nine points out of ten in
a game whose purpose was to place
southern elections under federal control.
The issue will be forced upon the Repub-
lican party. Its record on this point is
made up and certified by the vote of the
last Republican House of Representatives,
by President Harrison's recommendations
In three messages and by the almost
unanimous Endorsement of the measure
by the Republican press. When the test
vote on the force bill was taken in the
Senate in January, 1891, says the Roches-
ter Herald, every Republican leader voted
in its favor. Not single Repu blican
senator from the eastern states voted no.
Eight Repu blicans from the far West,
who cared more about free silver than
about the conspiracy to subjugate the
South, helped the Democratic senators
to postpone the bill.

Consequently Lynn Shoe Factories do "a

are months behing their orders, the Iowa
State Register says there must be more
factories built to supply the demand,
and the high tariff organ adds: $50 it
goes in every direction. the blessed Nc
Kinley tariff is providing labor at good
wages for every person who desires it,"
Perhaps the Iowa organ has forgotten
that the boot and shoe industry prospers
and the demand for its product increases
because there is absolutely free trade in
hides. The shoemakers of Lynn, says
the Chicago Times, are not forced to ex-
ert their efforts on raw materials en-
HANGED in cost by tariff falsely claimed
to be for their protection. The revival
OF the boot and shoe industry dated from

Price
Price
Average. ..lu.sa 12l.27

In this list of necessaries OF life there is
not an article which did not advance in
price during the agitation and after the
passage OF the Mckinley act. There is
not one, with the exception OF cabbage,
whose highest price was not reached
after the enactment OF the law. The av-
erage price OF these commodities in June,
1889, was 100.33. The average OF the
highest prices was 121.27. The average
price in September, 1891, was 101.S2
At one time during the twenty eight
months, therefore, and after the passage
OF the Mckinley law, the prices OF these
necessary articles OF food went up $20.94
on every 500 worth, and at the close of
the period these were still bringing 81. 40
on every 800 above the prices charged
before the Fifty-frst Congress assem-
bled.
Tea and coffee are not included in the
while sugar is omitted because the Dem
ocratic policy OF free raw material has
been adopted, the result being a declina-
ton of 81 per cent in the price of the
graduated article.
Under the Mckinley act food has been
dearer by very much more than the pal
try al of per cent admitted by Mr.. AL
drich. Some of this increased price is
due to the law, while some is due to the
short crops in Europe.

amined the result OF the tariff tax will ap-
pear even more clearly

ALDRICH'S ASSUMPTIONS.
THE COMPLETE SENATE TABLES RE-
FUTE HIS STATEMENTS.
He Calculated Food and Medicine on the
tame Basis-FuI Tables of the Senate


Senator Aldrich treated as OF equal
value the food, clothes, building materials
patents medicines and other articles the
prices OF which were examined by the
Senate committee-in other words, bis
calculation assumed that family con-
sumes as much medicine as food.
In the same way in treating the food
list, mustard and pepper were treated as
OF as much Importance as bread and meat,
while examining the cost OF clothes 1t
was assumed that family expended as
much for Innings as for coats, mats, blank
cts and dress goods.
The full tables are now issued, and
from them can be gathered the truth
concerning expenditures for the food
that was consumed and the clothes
that were bought during the period OF
twenty eight months investigated by
the Senate.
Taking Bread flour, eggs, butter, cod,
beef, milk, mutton, pork, potatoes,
onions and cabbayes as the basis OF the
ordinary American table, we may, says
the New York World, compare their
prices at the beginning OF the period,
June, 1889, with the highest prices attained
during the period and also with those OF
the last month of the period, September
1891. The following table, 100 being the
normal and reductions and increase in
price being represented by percentages
OF 100, will show these prices:

without intermission to this day.
Even Mr.. Harrison could not stand
snch a burlesque as Corporal Tanner
made OF the pension business, and was
forced to turn out his appointee to save
his administration. He made a change
for tho worse when he put in Raum. The
shame which this representative Repub-
lican official has brought upon the coun-
try is not easily measured, says the Bos-
ton Post. There has never been anything
like 1t before. Rsum has placed his
Office In the hands OF pension agents to
whom he was under obligations for
money borrowed, has allowed his son to
clerkships, and has degraded the service
In every way.

Against M'Kinleyism.

What is the present contention of the
Democratic party regarding revenue
leg islaton?
1t is exactly what it was in 1887, when
Mr.. Cleveland, then president OF the
United States through the votes of
the Democratic party and now again
its candidate for the presidency, declared
that "Our present tariff laws, the vicious
inequitable, and illogical source OF I'M
necessary taxation, should be a once
revised and amended"
That is the position OF Democracy on
this question, declares the Chicago Times.
Repu blicans themselves as long ago as
1882 in the message of President Arthur
to the congress of the United States
admitted that these laws were at least
inequitable and demanded a reduction
of tariff taxation, and in 1884 in their
national convention they put it even
stronger, insisting that the inequalities
OF the tariff should be corrected, but they
have gone so far now that they support
McKinleyism.

Though some Republicans pretend to
entertain hopes of securing Southern
electoral votes for Harrison and Reid it
is felt, says the Buffalo Courier, that the
force bill scheme is a decisive obstacle in
the way of the realization OF these hopes.
Many Republicans doubtless would re-
joce if the President were to declare that
he regards as final the defeat of that
measure which a Repu blican United
States Senator and Cabinet officer under
President Arthur condemned as Gin
famous" But as there is little prospect
OF such a retreat on the part of Mr.. Har-
rison, these Republicans at present be-
little the issue to which year ago the
President himself attributed the greatest
impOrtance
