ONE OF MANY PROTESTS.
Petitions to Congress in Behalf of the
Wooden Industry.

Boston, Mass, December 13--The
American Wool and Cotton Reporter
sent out today, to every wooden manu-
facturer in the United States and every
commission merchant handling wooden
goods, two petitions to Congress-, one or
the both of which it requests them to sign.
The first petition protests against the
passage OF the Wilson bill, and asks that
the duty upon wool be placed at 25 per
cent ad valorem, and, if the duty upon
the goods is to be ad valorem, that it
shall not be less than 50 per cent. The
second petition also protests against the
passage of the Wilson bill, stating that
If passed in its present form, it will
prove severe blow to one of the most
Important industries of the United
States. 1t admits the possible need of
readjustment of the tariff to conform
to the proposed emancipation of raw
material; asserts that the Wilson bill is
too radical and, that the duties provided
Tor the manufactures of wool will not
furnish. the wooden trade sufficient pro-
lection. They should be increased to at
least 90 per cent ad valorem. Unless this
is done, the petition says, all the benefit
that might be derived from free raw
material will be lost, and co operate the
mills, the contribution that labor would
be forced to make would be considerabl
Both petitions say they seek onlyssjustice,
fairness and discriminating care in tue
REIMBURSEMENT of duties on wooden pro-
ducts and as prompt action as possible
that the industry may be relieved of the
doubt and uncertainty which surrounds
1t and which is proving SO disastrous to
it,

THE CARE OF SEED CORN.
The Old Fashioned Plan Compared With
the Modern farmers Methods.

.
the Modern Farmers Methods.
!. The old fashioned plan in the Atlantic,
states was to bring the corn home in the
cart and dump it in convenient place,
where it was all handled over and made
into as many different grades as the
modern sorter makes of his tobacco.
This involved an additional labor as
great as that of picking the corn in the
first place, but it was suited to it's own
day and generation, for labor was cheap
End corn was. relatively dearer than at
present. With higher labor and fierce
competition in prices by distant farmers,
the methods must be adjusted to present
conditions.
The modern farmer knows that it no
longer pays to raise a crop containing
any considerable per cent of soft or I'M
ripe corn; hence that grade may be dis
pensed with. AS the hand cornsheller is
no longer used to any extent, the grade
of carefully selected long ears may also
be dispensed with. If the corn is rightly
cut and shocked, the moldy ears that
were saved for the fat steer will not be
found. In short, except for seed corn,
there is no longer need to sort the corn
at all, and it may be shoveled from the
wagon directly into the crib at great
saving Of labor and expense. This has
been my practice for number of years.
There is, however, one point that re-
quires some attention in husking, writes
Massachusetts, farmer to The Ameri-
can Agriculturist. He says: inculcate
by precept and example the most par
ticular care in removing every particle
of silk and husk from the ears. The habit
of neatness once formed, one can pick
just as fast neatly as in a careless way.
If husks and silk are put into the crib,
they obstruct the perfect ventilation
needed in moist climates, and also offer
inducements for the presence of rats by
furnishing materials for their nests.
Not to be hindered in husking, it is my
practice to select the seed corn as am
shoveling into the crib, throwing out an
ear at time as come to it.
In the matter of wintering seed corn
we have much yet to learn. A friend in
Michigan once sent me small parcel of
corn, which planted in my usual way,
and could not discover that single
kernel missed growing. Inquiry for
the reason disclosed the fact that it had
been kept in a furnace warmed house,
and had never been exposed to a freezing
temperature. Taking the hint from this,
procured box for my seed corn, to
which I fixed top and bottom of wire
cloth, thus making it mouse proof and
furnishing ventilation at the same time.
Taking this box to the garnet, placed
it directly over pipe hole in the floor.
Securely preserved in this box, the corn
received continuous current of dry,
warm air from the rooms below. Since
have preserved it in this manner have
not had the least trouble with corn fail
ing to terminate perfectly, and it starts
with more vigor than formerly.

sunfower seed as a Crop.

The North Carolina station has been
experimentingswith sunfiowers as farm
crop and reports results for the benefit
of American farmers. The sunfower
has been grown in Russia as farm crop
for half a century. The small black
seeded variety is grown for it's oil, which
takes the place of all other vegetable oils
in many parts Of Russia. The large
striped seeded sort is used largely as a
dainty food by the common people. The
average yield is about As bushels or /, $50
pounds per acre. Sunfower seed oil is
extracted in the same manner as cotton
seed oil, by separating the hulls from the
kernels and expressing the oil from the
latter. Sunhower seedcake is highly
heterogeneous cattle food andis largely used
in Germany and England for that pur-
pose. The hulls or shells are more than
half of the seed and are used for fuel,
and the stalks and seedcups are fed to
sheep.
The average yield per acre reported
from the North Carolina station was
Go bushels. The large striped or Mann
moth Russian weighed nearly ~ pounds
to the bushel, yielding nearly 90 per
cent or 81 pounds Of oil. The Black
Giant or small seed weighed 80 pounds
to the bushel, yielding nearly 81 per
cent or 81 pounds of oil. Chemical anal
Uses show that the hulls Of both varie-
ties of sunfower seed contain more pro-
tein, fats and crude fiber and less nitro
gen free extract than cottonseed hulls,
which arc just half the seed. This indi-
Gates that they are at least equal, if not
superior, to cottonseed bulls as cattle
food. Whole cotton seed weighs 30
pounds to the bushel, yielding nearly 20
per cent or As pounds Of oil. Thus
sunfower seed kernels contain the most
oil, and the other nutrients show that,
after the oil is expressed, the sunfower
cake is rather more nutritious than the
cottonseed cake, which is now largely
used in the south.

The Manure Question.

While the use of 20 loads of stable ma
nure per acre might be condemned as
wasteful il confined to the growing of
grain or crops for dairy farm, The
Rural New Yorker says: There are con-
ditions in which that would be called
small dose On money crops like choice
vegetables and fruits market gardeners
often use so or 75 loads of manure per
acre with profit. Only last week we
talked with strawberry grower who
used 800 pounds of high grade fertilizer
and 40 loads Of manure on one acre Of
strawberries and only regretted that he
did not use more. The one objection to
stable manure is, as we have often point
ed out, that it is one sided in its action.
There is lack Of phosphoric acid in its
composition. 1t is fore; pg manure, as
grape growers find when it induces a
heavy growth of wood at I'll expense OF
early ripening. A quaint of super
phosphate could always used to ad

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month of October,
1893. wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are SO rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only a relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor SO all.important in the
transaction of a Life Insurance Business
is of such a marked character, that
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January 1st to October
31st, 1898, amounts to $379, 1876 and when
compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows a very substantial de-
crease, thus
