Poultry for the Farm.

FOulrfy TOR the FARM
Now and then you meet man, says
the Farm, Field and Stockman, who
thinks one breed OF fowls is as good
as another, or that a hen is a hen no
matter what breed, or whether he--
breed is of it's own production by in
breeding year after year. Here is q
letter to an eastern paper from man
IN Tennessee who believes in mixing
breeds, but he sees to it that the
mixing is done by pure cockerels, and
by this means he will have high bred
If not pure bred fowls. He says:
I have often been amused at the
way SEINE writer's advocate the merits
OF some3particular breed of fowls to
the exclusion of all others. Now after
long experience with all the leading
breeds, have given up the idea that
pure breed poultry is the most profit
able ~on the farm for many reasons.
Experience teaches me that the best
breed for the farm is the one that is
most profitable under all circum-
stances none OF your fancy breeds,
but a happy medium. In other words
for a breed of your own ssget up"
take the common fowls. You can
breed them up to any desired quality
you wish. While they willnot be pure
they will be far more healthy, more
profitable, and just as handsome.
1t is interesting to note the peculiar
characteristics they will develop. I
wish you could see and hear my flock
of biddies. I would not exchange
them for any pure breed knowof.

MCKINLEY ACT.
Good Prices for Farm Products

@sss, Agricultural Pro-
+ $3.50 ducts.

BUFFALO, Special. No body of men
have suffered more in purse from the
competition OF foreigners than the
farmers Of New York State.
This competition has come from the
farmers Of Canada, and has been more
severe than the competition which the
farmers OF other States OF the Union
have been compelled to endure. This
has been owing to the situation Of the
State near the best farming lands Of
the Dominion. Much Of the soil OF
Ontario is as good as that of Western
New York. There is no difference in
productiveness between the soil OF
Franklin and Clinton Counties, di-
rectly south of the frontier, and the
soil of Canada north of the line.
Moreover, the farmers of Canada had
at their command cheaper labor.
Two years ago, in response to q re-
quest from the farmers of the entire
country, a Republican Congress in
creased the duties upon many agricul-
tural products in the tariff act. It is
now practicable to ascertain whether
the duties imposed upon Canadian
farm products have had the effect Of
reducing the volume ofItheir importa-
tons into the United States, and Of
lessening competition with American
agricultural products. The farmers
of Western New York are deeply in
terested in the matter, since large
quantities of Canadian eggs, barley,
hay, poultry, and similar products
have come over the Niagara River
from Canada, and thus entered New
York State for sale. Usually these
sales have been made in this city. All
the evidence points to q marked re-
duction in the amount of Canadian
importations. The American farmer
has large share of his home market.
The evidence comes from Canadians,
from boards of trade and from the
statistics of the Custom House.
Alexander Mccall, of Simcoe, Can
ada, a former member OF the Dom
inion Parliament, who was here a few
DAYS ago, said to an American friend
II see that you are about to elect a
President. I hope Mr.. Cleveland will
be elected" His American friend was
surprised at this exhibition of
Canadian interest in the election, and
said to him: "Why do you wish Mr..
Cleveland's election more than Gen
eral Harrison's?" "Because,' replied
Mr.. Mccall, frankly, eve Canadians
shall be able, after Mr.. Cleveland's
election, to sell more eggs, barley, and
hay and other farm antilles upon this
side OF the border line than we do now.
Why, the Mckinley act has diminished
the sale Of our eggs by millions, and
has greatly reduced the sale of our
barley, hay, and of our horses. If
Mr.. Cleveland is elected OF course the
duties will be taken off and we shall
get back our Market
Mr.. Mccall states truly that the
Importation OF eggs, barley, and
horses from Canada into Western
New York has been greatly diminished
in two years. The Mckinley act was
passed late in the fall of 1890. The
Custom House records of Buffalo
show that eggs were imported from
Canada in the following quantities IN
the years O. 1890, 1891, and 1892.

IMPORTATION OF EGGS
Total, half year.

There CAM be no question that if
eggs had remained on the free list, as
they were before the Mckinley act was
passed, and the duty of five cents q
dozen had not been imposed, as many
Canadian eggs would have been inn
ported in 1891 and the present year
to compete with those of the Ameri-
can farmer as in 1890. If there was
a reduction in the number of eggs I'M
ported in 1891, as compared with
1890, amounting to 2,465, $40 dozen,
it was due to the protection given to
the American farmer by the Mckinley
act.
Collector Morgan OF Buffalo had a
remarkable proof Of the difference be-
tween Canadian and American prices
OF eggsin the course of the week just
passed. Upon August 8, the present
year, merchant paid the duty on
1000 eggs which he had imported.
His invoice showed that he paid ten
cents adozen for the eggs, in Canada.
That undoubtedly was the ruling
price in Canada. Yet the importer
was able to make slight profit even
as this low rate, as the market quo
atations OF The Buffalo Express shows
that upon August 8 State,
Western and Canada eggs were sell
ing in Buffalo at from 16l5 to II cents
a dozen. That was the price the
American farmer was receiving for his
eggs with the Canadian competition
reduced. If eggs had been upon the
free list, the American farmer would
doubtless, have had to accept the
Canadian market rate for eggs.
The importations OF barley have
been diminished in the same manner,
and the American farmer has been
correspondingly benefited.
This decreasein the number OF bush
els of Canadian barley imported is
shown by the records OF some por-
tions OF the state. Thus there was
imported at the port CT Oswego in
1889 the large number Of 2,603, 1872
bushels Of barley. In 1871 only p
o17,6s9 bushels OF barley were i'm
ported at the same port. But per-

The big steamer Pasadena caught
Waterman George F. Ford against the

The upper part of his body, with his heart

canal, bound down, when Ford started
to climb down the keel rope to take a
line. He got too far, but did not notice
it until the steamer was too close to the
dock to raise himself. and the dock was
too high to reach. The next instant
the steamer had pinned him against the
