1t is Hard to Suit Calamity Criers.

These free traders and calamity
hOWlers are hard to suit. The senate
financial committees non-partisan in
vesigation embraced a comparison of
100000 quotations of prices and was
the most thorough and scientific work
of the kind ever undertaken in this
country. But our democratic oppon-
ents assert that it does not amount to
anything. Commissioner Peek's inves-
tigatiOn extended 5000 industrial
establishments in this state, and the re-
suits are tabulated and calculated to
the fraction of a decimal by expert
statisticians. But our demoralized
democratic adversaries only sneer at it
as lone of Hills tricks" Evidently
they do not want facts from any
source. They are content to revel in
the transcendentalism Of free trade
theories, and to worship Mr. Cleveland
and to adore him forever.

Milk for Cheese Making.

George E. Newell: For cheese MAX
ing purposes [ am in favor Of keeping
milk on the farm in large, shallow
tin pans, of five gallons capacity and
upward. These pans should be placed
in an elevated, airy situation, always
resting upon trestles, to insure a free
circulation of air. At a factory where
the writer once made cheese he was
impressed with the superior quality Of
milk furnished by patrons using these
large setting pans for night Swimming.
Their purpose was simply to get as
much cream as possible from a twelve
hours setting of milk, and so they
spread it out shallow. These pans
should be provided with faucets, by
which the milk can easily be drawn
off into the delivery can placed below.
Night storing of milk in deep delivery
cans is not as favorable, as the system
promotes tactical faint unless scrupu-
louS care is observed.

these goods during two successive
years. The tin-phte duties have not
raised the price of canned goods.
There has been, on the whole, a Ten
dency toward lower prices, and it will
be accelerated when the new Ameri-
can industry is firmly established and
the price Of tin-plate is cheaper than
it has ever been in Free-Trade Eng
land.

Ducks are not as good field foragers
as chickens or turkeys; their short
legs and fiat, web feet retard their
movements. On Il pond or other water
they make up for their awkWardness
on land, and go through much exercise
that is good for them. The duck is
exempt from many prevailing diseases
to which other poultry are subject.
They are usually excellent layers, the
Fekin duck leading all in this respect,

Feeding Hogs.

Farmers who have long been hearing
of the iniquity of feeding hogs solely
on corn will be glad to know that ex-
periments at the Kentucky station led
to the conclusion that fat can be pro-
duced more cheaply by corn than by
any other foods tested; and we may
add, more rapidly by shelled corn than
by that on the cob.

A western writer says he has ne5er

compound of eggs, honey and vinegar.
He beats three eggs into one quart of
pure fruit vinegar, and after about
three days, or when the mixture is all
together he adds one pound of strain
ed honey. In tablespoonful doses it
can be given with the feed twice a
day or placed on the tongue of the

Sweet Corn.

Crosses of varieties of sweet corn
have been made for several years at
the North Carolina Agricultural Station
with a view to develop a variety
specially adapted to the region of the
station. Results thus far obtained in

duced that is much earlier than the
varieties from which it originated.
