Liq MD Grating Wax

Prof. J. L. Budd recommends the fol-

resin, and one pound beef tallow, melted

stirring, one tablespoonful spirits of tur-
pentine. Then slowly add alcohol, while
stirring, until the mass has thin, mo-
lasses-like con n.istency. In this form it is
useful for painting over wounds of trees
caused by pruning, breaking, or other in
jury; and it is also an excellent wax for
use in waxing collar gratis of the cherry.

Some conclusions drawn by the French
experimenter, NJ. GiraId, from his own
experience in the cultivation Of the potato
In France, and which may be of interest
to American growers are the folio wing:
As between whole and cut seed. with
crops grown side by side, the preference
Was given to whole seed, and the practice
advi sed to select for such use toe medium
or average size OF the variety grown.
While studying the selection of seed
potatoes NJ. Girard was led to believe that
tubers which produced good crops would
convey their productive qualities to the
succeeding crop, and that those which
produce linn tied yield also perpetuate q
tendency to lighter crops. He thus be-
came satisfied that the productive strength
OF the potato was hereditary, and that the
culnv4t,r should select seed from those
plants which give high returns.
With regard to the degeneration of q
vorietv, commonly believed to be the
natural consequence of its continued cul-
tivation, the opinion is expressed that it
is often the result of the thoughtlessness
with which the seed is chosen. Often all
the good tubers are sold for the market,
and from the inferior ones the growers
ask a continuation of qualities they are
powerless to give.
The potato requires nitrogen, phos-
pilates and potash, but the quantity should
be regulated by the soil. Ordinarily six
teen tons of farm-yard manure to the acre,
or in its absence from 500 to 900 pounds
of an art fetal one, will be necessary. In
France, as well as In thi. country, the
mixsure of suiphate or copper and lime
has been found useful asa remedy for the
potato disease. Careful American expert
menters are also on record as believing in
advantages to be derived from the selection
of seed from the most productive hills.

How They Effect the Importation Of Coffee
and sugar

New York Tribune: The period dur
ing which the free market for sugar, mo-
lasses, coffee and hides could he enjoyed as
gratuitous privilege ended yesterday.
Under the provisions of the reciprocity
amendment 10 the tariff act it now becomes
the duty of the president to close the mar
ket against those countries with which the
conditions of trade are unequitable. Brazil,
the British and Spanish West Indies. San
Domingo. Germany. Hawaii, Guatemala,
Costa kica. Salvador. and probably Mexico,
have complied with the requiI Ieme.ts OF
reciprocity and secured the permanent en-
joyment of the privileges OF the tee mar
ket. American flour with the opening of
the year will be subject in the Spanish
West Indies to duty OF 80 cents in place
of IS 81 IL barrel. The reduction of
duties on breadstuffs in Germany. the
British West Indies and the three Central
American repablics will follow early in the
year. The treaty arrangements with
Mexico have not been announced, but have
probably been made.
The reciprocity amendment has been
applied by the administration fve-
sixths of the imported sugar supply Of the
United States The treaty arrangements
made with Spain. the British West Indies,
Brazil, San Domingo, Hawaii and Ger

is over sc per cent. The remainder, less
than IA pc: cent, amounting to $l4,O35.-
65s, comes from the Philadelphia Islands,
the Dutch East Indies, Austria. Hungary
ard other countries. The bulk
of the sugar supply is admitted
permanently to free market, and IN re-
tura great concessions have been secured
for the American export trade. The total
impor.ations of coffee received in the
United States during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1890. were S7S, 253 446. The
reciprocity policy has been applied by
treaty to two thirds of this supply, the

Years.


In lS49 the Grand Old Man said in
parliament:
"In 1912 the American people passed "A
highly restrictive tariff. and in l846 she
relaxed i; again, but am afraid there are
serious apprehensions to be entertained
that the same influence that carried the
last presidential election may lead to an
alienation of tariff favorable to their in-
terests"
His serious apprehensions were ground
less. The only alienation of our tariff
during the succeeding decade was unfavor-
able TO our interest, and the ''tiftles were
marked by the rapid increase of i'm
porters' and SPECTATORS wealth. the bitter
poverty of wage earners and the financial
crash OF 1873.

The general downward movement,
marked by an occasional advance on soma
articles, faithfully reflects the influence of
protection on prices.
Comparing prices of the present year
with those of 1889, before the new tariff
was enacted. we find that three of six
items have declined, one has not changed
and two show a slight advance. This.
again, is probably fair index of real Nc
Kinley prices. There IS no warrant any
where for the extIavagant assertions about
advancing prices on all the necessaries of
life which the frae-trader was making Il
year ago. Only imported neces sarier
are now cited as being higher in price.
