Tribute.

While it is over thirty years ago since
ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs were first
introduced 60 the medical profession and
public, the marked success and unprece-
dented popularity which they met with not
only continues, but steadily increases. No
other plasters have been produced which
gain so many testimonials of high value as
those continually accorded to ALLcoCK's
Porous pLAsTERs, and the only motive
for these exceptional tributes lies In the
fact Of their being medicinal and phar-
macentioal preparation of superior value.
Additional proof OF the true value Of ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs lies In
the feet OF their being
largely initiated by INSCRIPTIONS persons,
who seek to deceive the public by offering
plasters which they claim to be the same"
"equal, "ss good. better, "best porous
plaster" etc., while it is in general appear
ance only that they resemble ALLCoCK's.
Every one Of the so-called porous plasters
are limitations of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAs-
TKRS.
Avoid dealers who attempt to palm off in
ferior and worthless plasters that are pur-
chased by them at low rates for the purpose
of substitution.-Gd.

The Effect Of Free Wool on american
Sheep Rsissrs.

The Effect Of Free Wool on american
Sheep Raissrs.
The Rural Ne,O Yorker recently inter
viewed number Of prominent wool and
mutton raisers in New York as to the effect
of free wool on their business. Here is
what few of them say:
II congress passes bill putting wool on
the free list, as it undoubtedly will at its
earliest convenience, it would have no et-
feet, in my Judgment, in changing the plans
OF breeders of sheep in this gtate. The
stud fiocks Of registered American Merinos
have always been kept up TO high stand
ard by careful selection and breeding, no
matter whether the price of wool was up or
down, and they will continue to be cared
for in the future; for not only have
we a demand for good Merino rams
in the west but Australia, New
Zealand aud South Africa are taking many
of our best annually. Breeders Of sheep
other than pure Merinos have in view NUT
ton as well as wool. and putting wool on the
free list will not change their prospects, as
mutton production is not likely to be over
done, and the wool will all be wanted to
take the place Of shoddy. ! would advise
the breeders of the different breeds
change but keep their focks, and
improve them all they can. Wool and
mutton will always be wanted and the re-
lation of supply to demand will rule the
markets at home and abroad.
J. II. EARLL,
President New York State American Me-
rino Breeders
We donot think that if wool were put on
the free list it would materially affect sheep
raisers in this section. In the first place we
don't believe il would materially effect the
prices of wool, and, again, the time has
long since passed here when farmers could
afford to raise sheep for wool alone. The
farmers who are making money with sheep
in this state. and we think in all the other
agricultural states. are those who are
breeding sheep for mutton as well as wool,
putting a good carcass OF mutton and all
the wool they get from 1t. most of them
using Shropshire sizes, which prove to be
giving the best results. In this country any
ordinary farmer can make lamb bring as
much money at ten months as be would
bring at two or three years II kept 50 long,
as the wool would not, with twice the pro-
lection we now have, pay for the
keep; it is more profitable TO sell
the surplus as lambs for mutton. We
are breeding Shropshires not necessarily TO
see how large we can make them, for We
do not think that is the point to be reached
from a profitable standpoint, but to see
how quickly we can make them weigh 100
pounds, the most profitable weight at which
to sell them, and we also challenge any
flock of pure-wool Merino sheep in our
county to shear with us for value Of wool
Der head. 1t does not make SO much diff
ference what the clip weighs when it comes
off the sheep as It does what it is worth.
We would rather have IL pounds OF wool
worth rs cents than 90 pounds worth Il
cents per pound. 1t costs less to get the
former to market and buyers seek it, while
in our markets buyers have to be sought to
take the latter. FOSTER BROS

A StraUharru Patch

1It isnever out of place to have a small
plat of straw berries for home use whether
any are cold CT not.
A couple Of hundred plants even vel
tended will supply very nice quantity Of
berries for small family. Two rows of l0l
plants each Tor four rows OF fifty or eight
rows of twenty-hve) in side or corner OF
the garden, or off in the field even, will 20
a long ways in supplying this medicinal
fruit that may be the means OF warding off
serious attack Of disease from some one of
the family next season A few quarts Of
Strawberries may do this very thing.
This is good season to set out the plants
You can probably get a few plants from
your neighbors if you inquire If rot you
can send off to those who advertise plants
for sale. The plants can be sent 900 miles
by mail with safety. (By the way, we re
| ceived two orange trees Ia July that came
all the way from Japan, which began to
send out shoots six days after they were
planted out)
You can get berry plants from New York
state III you cannot get them nearer that
will grow as readily as those secured ia your
own county. An experienced shipper will
put them upso that they will keep alive for
many weeks.
Make the effort to get some, If only a
couple OF hundred for this season, and set
them out carefully and cultivate likewise,
and you will be glad next spring that you
did it, From this start you can enlarge
the plant next fall to the extent that you
see fit. Remember, though, that a couple
Of hundred or SO of plants well attended 10
viii give you better satisfaction
than l,OO0 or so left to
themselves. You can well afford to mulch
few hundred plants, and plant well
tended will yield anywhere from a pint to
quart OF berries For home use there are
several well known kinds that you can plant
with the confidence that they will repay you
fully for all your trouble. You need not
attempt the newer kinds. The Wilson's
Albany. or the Sharpless, or Crescent will
answer your purpose very well. In plant
ing the latter remember that it is
a pistillate variety and some other
kind must be planted IN alternate rows with
1t or else it will not bear. When properly
tertilized, however, it produces enormously.
To two or three rows Of Crescent plant one
row of Albany or Sharpless next to it, If
you have two rows of 40 each let the rows
be ~ or feet apart and plant Is TO 20
inches in the row. In trapsplanting spread
the roots out evenly in every direction, press
the soil firmly on the roots and water
copiously After the water has sOased In
draw little dry or loose
soil about the plants and then mulch about
the plants with pine straw or trash of some
kind. Just before freezing weather comes
apply more mulch, putting it several in ches
deep over the plants. When growing time
comes draw the straw from off the plants
and tuck in snugly about them to keep the
berries off of the dirt. If the soil has be-
come hard work between the
rows and about the plants be-
fore arranging the mulch. Top
dress around each plant with big double
handful OF good old compost to which a
little bone dust and kainit Tor rotten ashes
have been added.

Molino, Fla.

From failure to prune at the proper
time in the early stage of growth Japan
plums or prunes frequently take on a strag-
Cling growth that requires very judicious
pruning afterwerd to get the trees back
into symmetrical shape. They should be
pruned back gradually cutting back the
longer limbs a little at a time. In the
meantime it is advisable to prop the limbs
before fruiting time to prevent them break
ing down.
Fig trees, il of struggling growth, can be
pruned back, but as q rule they require little
pruning. In Middle Georgia it frequently
happens that the fig has to be cut back al
most to the ground after very severe win
ters but they most invariably grow out
afresh In arly symmetrical shape.

The New York Herald has been col
lecting the opinions of the members
elect of the Fifty-third congress as to
the expediency of an extra session. The
GLOBE has not noticed that our own
Col. KIEFER has expressed his views,
but Mr.. TAWNEY, of the First district,
has put himself on record with his usual
breeZinesS and vigor. He takes advant-
age of the occasion to let the country at
large know where he stands Oh the
tariff question. He had already ad-
mitted his immediate constituents into
this interesting secret, but now he
paradeS it where it may be seen of all
men. MIR. TAWNEY is an able and
courteous gentlemen, but he does Min
nesota dishonor in spreading abroad
the news of her unenlightenmen
and folly. Whoever knows anything
knows that the Western farmer
bears the burden of Republican pro-
tectionlSm. 1t is not claimed that the
tariff raises the price of what the farmer
has to sell, and it admittedly raises the
price of what he has to buy. The agri-
cultural population of almost every state
in the Union has had the intelligence to
recognize this fact and TO express its un-
willingness that system which robS it
should continue. How must it sound to
the rest of the nation when the chosen
representative Of the First Minnesota
district pipes up as does Mr.. TAwNEY,
lonesome pecan in praise of McKin-
leyiSm. In cold conspicuous print he
declares that the people of this. COM
monWealth like the MCKINLEY law
and have ratified it by an overwhelm
ing majority at the polls. This is prob
ably true. The surface indications are
certainly that way. But is it loyal,
is it magnanimous, is 1t decent
to give any more publicity to
such notifying news than is neces-
Sary? The eyes of the nation are turned
with an expression of amused pity on
Minnesota as the last rose of summer
left blooming alone. Should one of her
gallant sons furnish material for her
fresh ridicue by glorying in her mac
cessibiiity to the march Of great
thoughts? The GLOBE thinks not. 1t
is surprised at Mr.. TAwNEY.

Meade Case.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-DetaIls of police
are securing the county and suburbs
southwest of the city for two masked
highwaymen who are making the resi-
dents of Riverside, Berwin, Hawthorne,
Lyons and Clyde feel very uncomfOrta
bic. The police believe that the mount
ed bandit who kept Lakeview in state
of terror for several days has been
joined by a confederate and transferred
the seat of his operations. William
Kelly and Charles Thompson were the
first to come in contact with the two
masked men. They were driving to-
ward the city from Riverside on Ogden
avenue, and when near lonely spot
the two men jumped from clump of
bushes and, at the point of revolvers
relieved Kelly and Thompson of their
money, and. taking possession of their
team and buggy, valued at $500, drove
away.
G. A. Bader. who lives at Berwin and
is employed with Carson, PIERRE, Scott
d Co.. was the next to meet the two
men, but Mr.. Bader had but 40 cents in
his possession and he willingly handed
this to one of the robbers John keefe,
Cicero policeman, also had the pleas
ure of meeting the men. He was attired
i'll his official uniform and was on duty
when the bold men confronted him with
TWO revOlyers and demanded that he
turn out all his yaluableS. Fifteen cents
and a revolver was all the Cicero of
fetal could donate. Fred Sellers and
Fred Grow. both residents of Riverside,
were also victims of the robbers. They
were driving south on Ogden avenue
when masked man jumped from be-
hind fence, and, catching the bride of
the horse, commanded the two men to
get out, which they did at the point of
revolver. The robber then took pos
session OF the vehicle and drove off.
