Results Of Reciprocity.

Exports Of gold and the excess Of !
imports over exports invite attention
to the degree Of success attending the
attempt made in the Mckinley bill to
regulate trade balances by reciprocity
arrangements. The need OF such ar
Tangements was strongly urged by a
reference to the large excess OF our
imports from South America over our
exports to those countries. Thus, for
the fiscal year 1890, the last before the
Mckinley bill was passed, we import
ed from Brazil merchandise worth
$50 100000 and sold her merchandise
worth $12,0OO,OOO. So the balance of
trade to be settled in gold, as the Re-
publicans were in the habit of stating
it, was SAT 100000, though we actually
sent to Brazil that year only little
more than half q million dollars in
gold and silver.
The reciprocity section of the Nc
Kinley bill was intended to correct
this inequality in our trade-to make
our exports TO South America equal
our imports thence, or, at any rate, to
reduce the excess Of imports. This
was the main object sought, and to
accomplish it the President was armed
with power to tax the products o.
other countries that failed to adapt
their tariff laws to what was supposed
to be the interest OF our trade.
After trial of reciprocity up to The
close Of the fiscal year 1892, our ex
perisnce with Brazil, the leading
South American country and the frs
to agree to the reciprocity require
quirement, was as fellows: Our ex
ports to Brazil had increased in tw,
years from twelve to fourteen million
dollars. In the same time our i'm
ports had increased from $50, 000,00
to $118, $4,000 The balance of trad
had increased from $47,000,000 t
$104,000,O00. Our net exports {
specie in the same year were abou
100000 (nearly all silver, or yer
little more than two years before
This is explained by the fact that on
South American balances are mostl
settled in London.
1t is a luminous commentary o
the Republican party's promise t
check imports and keep our gold
home, that when it reluctantly loose
its hold on power our imports hs
largely increased, our export trad
had dwindled and our gold was lea
ing the country in millions per wee
In the fiscal year. 1889, toward I'll
close of which Mr.. Harrison BEGAN
President, we imported near $4,000
900 specie than we exported. In IL
following year the net imports
specie were eighteen millions. In Il
fiscal year 1891, the net exports
specie were nearly $7S,0OO,OO0. In Il
last fiscal year the excess of expor
was not large, but for the twel
months ending March 81, 1898, it W
$94,000,0OO.
In the light of these facts it requir
good deal of assurance to attribui
the disturbance of business grown
out of exports of gold to the electi'
OF a Democratic President. In &c
eral way it may be said that we ha
been losing gold ever since Mr.. Ha

HARDENING INCUBATOR CHICKS.
= Keep Them From an Untimcly GRAY
Under the Plum Trees.

= > Keep Them From an Untimcly Grave
Under the Plum Trees.
My experience, like many others, with
incubator Matching has been that a good
many little chicks find their way to a
home in the bosom of mother earth, and
l am led to believe the largest per cent
died from no fault but my own. l had
been in the habit of removing the chicks
when "a or 36 hours old to the brooder
and always lost a greater or less number
from some reason or other. now think
a large per cent of the loss of chicks
comes from their being put in the brood
ers when tender and weak. A gardener
never transplants tender vegetables or
plants from a cold frame or hot bed till
they are ''hardened off" and why should
a chicken be transplanted until he is
''hardened Off"
This season, contrary to all rules of in
cubator Matching, l have used no mois-
ture during the whole hatch, and kept the
incubator closed nearly tight. In the bot
tom of the incubator l have a lot Of
clean, sharp sand spread out fiat, cover
ing up the pipes entirely. On this I
place the chicks as soc as they are dry
and on their feet, and the first thing they
get is some of the aforesaid sand. When
they are 4S hours old, they get their first
feed of Indian meal wet up with water,
moist, but not sloppy. Thus far the in
cubator has been kept closed with the
exception of the outer door.
After another 12 hours I give them
more ventilation by opening N of the
inner doors a little, and the next day the
doors are opened wide and are kept up
level to form a shelf. Around this I
place a fence of boards 8 or 10 inches
high and place an old coat on the in
cubator, letting it hang down in front to
within two inches of the shelf-this
keeps the heat in the incubator, making
it a nice brooder. In about three days
the chicks are strong and lively, and be-
gin to jump over the board. They are
now "hardened off" and goto the brood
ers and thrive wonderfully.
Now, I think this is the vital point to
insure success. Start a chicken RICH:
and then push him. know incubator
makers say, Never feed the chicks in the
incubator and the incubator loses three
or four days acting as a brooder, but il
is a good deal of satisfaction to put out
a good hatch of chicks and have them
live and grow and not find their way te
an early grave under the plum trees o,
currant bushes.-C. H. Latham in Farm

the 10th century specimens of both
breeds of the national bird of America
were taken to Europe, where in the
course of time they were p%ropagated and

The memory of more than one or two
of our readers will go back to a period
when the "old white turkey. hen" was a
feature Of the farmyard and poultry

not yet been exterminated.

The veterinary department of the
Michigan agricultural station has pre-
pared q scale of points of perfection for
different breeds of horses. The points
are arranged on a scale of S. that being
the perfect number. Professor E. A. A.
Grange, veterinarian of the Michigan
agricultural station, says rightly that
rapid machine transit threatens the horse
industry, and that breeders must take
extraordinary pains to improve their
stock in all ways. "We must have
stronger draft horses. nor agile saddle
horses and faster roadsters," says Pro-
fessor Grange. Below is the conforma-
ton scale of points Professor Grange has
prepared for the coach horse stallion.
He invites criticism or remarks from
breeders and veterinarians, SO that if any
improvement can be made in this scale
he can make it:

THE HOG is E

At Last lie Has Come ON Top In the Price
List.
High prices for fat and stock hogs and
pork product must of course have the
inevitable effect of creating a heavy de-
mand for good breeding stock, and we
have already reached the point where
fine sows are in some instances worth
much more than good cows. Breeders
of registered hogs have for some time
past seen signs of Il rapidly developing
boom, and at the West Liberty Qa.) sale
of Poland-C hinas the fact was developed
in a startling manner that breeding hogs
are now in greater demand than for many
years.
An average of over 1920 for 81 head
and repeated offers of 800 per head at
private treaty for fine sows owned by
local breeders from parties unable to
supply themselves at the sale would in
dictate that owners of good pure bred

thing Of q bonanza.
At the annual meeting of the Ameri.
can Poland China Breeders association,
held at Cedar Rapids just before this
sale, there was a large attendance, and
the opinion was freely expressed that the
demand will not only exceed the supply,
but that it will take several years tc
breed back to the point where hogs viii
again be plentiful.
We congratulate swine growers upon
the good fortune that has overtaker
those who are in shape to profit by the
peculiar conditions now existing anC
trust that calm judgment and discretion
rather than undue excitement will guide
investors safely through the era of higl
prices now inaugurated. Hogs are nov
~legitimately worth a good price, and thu
swine herd properly handled should
yield a handsome return for the ensuing
year at least.-Breeder's Gazette.

Didn't Take a Newspaper.

A certain farmer, whose name we have

large load of pork last week at way
down prices. It appears the man, al
though he could read English very we'll,
was of an economical turn of mind
and imagined he saw a considerable saw
ing in not taking a paper. In conse-
quence he was in the dark concerning
the markets in general and dressed hogs
in particular. Last year he got 81. so for
his pork, and on his coming to town the
other day with his big load of dressed
hogs, when q logger offered him S., he
at one accepted and sold his load at
that price, when if he had proceeded a
block or two farther he could have had
$7.25 per 100. In this case this man lost
$42 on his load, enough to keep him in
papers AZ years.-Minnesota Live Stock

The governor has done right in sign
ing the bill for the deposit of the state
funds. 1t is a good law as it is even
without the amendments which it is
claimed should havebe made a part of
it. The law for the deposit of the county
funds was by nc means what was wanted,
but the house concluded to take the
senate amendments rather than no law.
In this case the senate amendments like
senate bill No. "a got lost in the shuttle,
but not to the disadvantage of the
people in this case. Both measures can
be perfected at the next session. As the
laws are the county and state funds will
be taken out of politics, aud that is a
decided advantage.

Docking LambR.

The Wiltshire England) way of lamb
docking is given as follows: Two men sit
upon q stool about 6 feet long, facing
each other, holding the lamb between
them. One man puts his arm around
the lamb, securing the fore legs, the other
holding the hind legs. The operator Sc.
lects a ram lamb first. and using an iron
for c%astration returns it to a boy, who
replaces it in a wood fire and hands back
the 'tailing iron," al instrument about
81 inches wide at one end, with a thin
cutting edge, having a handle about II
or IL inches long. heated sufficiently to
cauterize.
The proper joint having been selected,
the operator presses the iron upon the
tail, which comes off instantly, and then
the same instrument sears the veins il
necessary. A eve lamb is handed up
Immediately, and with the instrument
the tail is removed without further heat.

present indications they think the earth
is theirs and the fullness thereof, It ie
rather amusing, though, to see Judge
Bennett striking for Bushby's place on
the ground that Bushby was an often
sive partisan. The judge was extremely
offensive to the fusionists. He was an
mcurable-refused to be recognized, and
like Bushby, did what he could by
tongue and pen for the republican
ticket-as a democrat, however.
