A NUMBER Or CHANGES
Democrats Are Revising the VIII
son Tariff Bill.
The Tin Plate Tariff viii BE Specific In
stead OF Ad vaIorsm...Ths Latter
Would Be an Injustice TO
the importers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9--There havs
been many rumors about the capitol
concerning the revised tariff which the
majority Of the members of the commit
tee have about completed and which
viii soon be printed. There have been
a number Of changes, relating mainly in
the wording of the bill, typographical
errors and phraseology, but it is we'll
known that more changes have been
made. The tin plate tariff has been
changed from 35 per cent ad valoreni to
] 1-5 cents per pound specific duty. The
ad valorem rate was intended 10 make
duty of about cent per pound. A
member Of the committee explained why
this change was made. The various
consumers of tin plate requested ir.
Under an al valorem duty the importers
would not be able to buy as
cheaply, because all orders for Tin
plate We're at least three months in ad.
vance and if the price should be cents
a pound when or !ered, AMI cents when
shipped, it would lie found ad valorein
duty would work an inj lstice TO the im-
porter, while under a specific duty the
impouer would know exactly what he
had 20 pay when the order was given.
This same member said there had been
9th sr changes of tie same character
where the interests Of the consumers
would bc liable 70 injury 10y flnctuation
Of tue price under the ad velOrem rate.
Changes in rates have been made, how
many or how great is hard to ascertain.
There have been anges in pearl but.
tons, piano keys and six thread. Just
what these changes are is not known. A
delegation of New Workers has asked
that the time when the bill goes into
effect be changed either to July /, 1894,
or TO Jan. ], 1898.
Nothing Is definitely known 90 to
when the bill will come up in the house.
Chairman Wilson hopes to report the
bill within three days from the time it is
presented and considered by the full
committee next Monday. The ten days
time which the Republican members
were to have in case the bill was re.
ported during the recess will not be
granted when the bill is reported during
the session. Mr.. Wilson hopes to secure
consideration before the holiday recess.

Poisoned by ScrOfula

Is the story of many lives made miser-
able through no fault of their own.
Scrofula Is more especially than any
other q hereditary disease, and for this
simple reason: Arising from impure
and insufficient blood, the disease To-
Gates itself in the lymphatics, which
are composed Of white tissues; there is
q period Of foetal life when the whole
body consists of white tissues, and
therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease.
But there is a remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's
powerful effect ON the blood, expels all
trace Of the disease and gives to the
vital fluid the quality and color Of
health. If you decide to take Hoods
Sarsaparilla do not accept any substi-
tute.

The query is sometimes raised
whether clear cream or part cream and

dren. A mixture of good milk and

milk. The lime water prevents the
milk from forming large curds in the

THE HOME AND FARM,

Keep your stock growing as rapidly
as possible, and be sure to keep a sup
ply of water on hand for them at all
times.
There is no general purpose breed of
fowls. One will be better for eggs than
for market than for eggs and another
better for eggs than for market. Study
your market and choose accordingly.
There Is M excuse in these days for
keeping scrub fowls, for IL takes but a
small amount to start a flock of some
pure breed. The man who keeps scrubs
is the m who is whining that "chick-
ens don't pay"
There is not the least danger of q hen
scratching too much in an effort to get
food through she may not be able to
find food enough by any amount of
scratching. 1t Is nature for her to
scratch and the best way to prevent her
from scratching where she ought not
to, isto give her plenty Of grain, thrown
among litter, to hunt for. Throw it
around the straw stack If you have no
better place.
SELL THE SURPLUS.
The farmer or breeder who keeps
culls through the Winter is feeding off
his profit, for frequently a lot of fowls
will bring more in the Fall then they
will after being kept all Winter. The
farmer should dispose of all his surplus
cockerels early and ave feeding them
at q loss, besides by doing this he will
find that his pullets do better.
The breeder should pick out all cock
erels that show defects that will inter
fear with their value as breeders and
sell them for what they will bring, as
fast as such defects show themselves.
By doing this feed is saved and the
flock presents q better appearance, and
according to the standard all depends
on looks. Any more fowls than can be
kept in the best advantage are a damage
and should be disposed Of: If you have
room for fifty do not try to crowd a
hundred through the winter, for the
fifty with enough room will pay better
than twice as many that have not room
enough.
A good many farms might keep two
or three times as many fowls as they do.
but the owners have got to think that
they do not get enough out of them to
pay for the trouble, simply because
they do not give enough room in the
poultry house. We have had fifty
laying hens all summer on our place,
and they have not been outside of an
acre about the stables, because they
have never been hungry enough to
range far, and this is the way it should
be with all focks.
Our fowls pay, and our hens lay eggs
enough 30 that we get a clear profit of
nearly $3.50 from each one. If we
should but half feed them and compel
them to hunt all i've the place they
would not pay for the food they con-
sumo. Aneighbor has a flock of eighty
hens, and when WI were getting three
dozen a day from our fifty he was get
ting four to six eggs, and he swore he
would not feed hens that could not do
better. They did so poorly because
they we're not given the materials to
work with-food.-M. P. American
