A little ovcr four years ago, when
Grover Cleveland sent to congress his
now famous tariff reform message. there
was no organized agitation against the
imposition Of the tariff taxes which.

was connected, lay with oppressive

SECRETARY TRACY has issued an
order concerning the employment Of
pilots on United States naval vessels,
which will relieve the commanders Of
such vessels of much anxiety, and
save many thousands Of dollars to
the Government. He has revoked
the old order with respect to the en-
ployment of pilots, which was so
worded that it implicitly cast re-
proach upon an officer who did not
pilot his own ship into port, and has
substituted for it the direction that
commanding officers will employ
pilots whenever, in their judgment,
such employment is necessary. The
Government compels merchant yes
sells entering an American port to
take a pilot, and it is folly to expect
that naval officers should have more
extensive practical knowledge OF the
rivers and harbors of the world than
merchant captains, who are constant
ly On sea duty, and engaged in sail
luR NCSSClo llOLl OnC JOiO w
The former may, and doubtless do,
have greater theoretical knowledge
than the majority Of officers in the
merchant marine. but to be able to
pilot vessel safely over the shoals
and reefs which may exist at the en-
trance of harbor requires an amount
of practical experience which it is
|. impossible, i'm many instances, for
naval officers to acquire. Under the
old order, accidents frequently hap
pened to naval vessels when entering
the ports of the world, involving the
expenditure in repairs Of many thou
sands OF dollars. These accidents
cast stigma upon the service, and
frequently brought undeserved re-
proach upon mcritorious officers.
The officers either had To pilot their
own vessels, when they had not an
adequate knowledge OF the harbor
which they were entering, or subject
themselves to unpleasant criticism at
headquarters; and it is easy to infer,
from the impulses of human nature,
which horn of the dilemma an ambi-
ti1us and high-spirited officer would
| seize,

from it in grazing than do any other

why should Cows BE restea,

Thequestion may well be asked why
cows should be tested. II is TO de-
termlne the quality OF the COW. Ami
mails vary very much in their power
to secrete milk, and also vary as to
the proportion OF butter fat contained
in the milk product Two cows fed
upon precisely the same food and in
equal quantities may vary largely in
the butter product Again, two cows
so fed may give precisely the same
proc uct, while If the food be increased,
the milk or butter product Of one may
be also increased and in the other re-
main unchanged, for the reason that
she has reached the limit Of her pro-
duction, while the other has not. In
that case-wherc the limit is reached
the use of any extra or additional
food is simply an unnecessary waste.
As more and more light is thrown
upon farming operations through the
medium OF experiments, the farmer
can discover the Importance OF the
exercise of good Judgment. Food
that is giving no returns is simply
wasted W len fed to an animal.
