Farm and Garden Notes.

Bagging is sure preventive Of grape
rot.
Too much green food will cause diar
rhpa among chickens.
With all sheep the softest and finest
wool lies on the shoulders
After burning up the trimmings and
other rubbish, give the ashes to the
trees.
Pumpkins are excellent food for hogs
and cattle, and sheep soon learn to eat
them with relish.
Milk should be aerated as soon as
possible after it is drawn, and it should
be cooled at the same time.
No part of breeders time is more
profitably spent than that employed in
looking after the young fouls.
Many fail to secure good meadow
for no other reason than that sufficient
seed is not sown at the start.
Wiue tires. with axles of different
lengths, on heavy wagons, would be a
great help to bookkeeping.
Hog raising should go hand in hand
with darying. Sweet whey, buttermilk
and skim milk are profitable foods for
pigs.
The potato holds its own in the down
ward rush of prices better than any
other farm crop. 1t is the universal
diet of the race.
Horses are cheap now, and farm la
Dor is comparatively dear. There is
no use in hiring man to work with
horses and then give him team that
will need to rest at every bout with the
plow or harrow.
1t is as important to keep the farm
tools in good order as to haye a sharp
axe, as the better the condition OF the
tools and implements, the less effort Is
required by the teams and the better
the work is performed.
Cease doing two things. DO not
breed immature animals, and do not
continue feeding any of your stock af
ter it is ready for the shambles. Both
these bad practices interfere wonder
fully with the profits.

Pay Your Little Bills.

Baltimore Sun.
A most effective way to relieve finan-
cial stringency is to keep money in cir
cuation by the payment of ''little
bills To ''pay as you gO' is always
best but some persons are occasional
ly compelled by circumstances to ask
for credit. 1t is wise to pay bills at
short intervals for many reasons. The
creditor may have great number of
small bills outstanding and may be Sc
riOusly embarrassed by their nOn-pay-
ment The longer bill remains I'M
paid the harder it is to pay. TO the
man in receipt of an income which is
no more than his necessary expenses
require, it may be easy to pay a small
bill, but if he allows it to 80 unpaid,
other bill, may be added to it and the
aggregate VIII he a serious Duruen. n
fails to pay what he owes to B and the
latter is thereby unable to pay the debt
he owes to G.. and SO on. BY prompt
payments small sum of money can be
made to cancel Il large sum of indebt-
edness. \ ten dollar bill, by passing
from hand to hand, probably often pays
debts amounting to a hundred dollars
inside OF week The most frequent
excuse heard for the non-payment Of
bills by persons who are asked to make
payment is that they can collect no
money. In most instances this excuse
is probably an honest one, and a little
reflection will convince any man OF the
wisdom of thus keeping money in cir
culatiOn.

1t is said that, in the celebrated
Borden Murder trial in Massachusetts
last year, the testimony of two young
men was rejected because they smoked
cigarettes. They were looked upon a
incapable of telling the truth, and
hence their testimony was not wanted.
Their minds had become impaired by
a persistence in the habit. 1t is sad
to contemplate the wreck that some
make of themselves by the habit.

| know land where the streets are
With the things which we mean to
achieve,
1t is walled with the money we meant
to have saved,
And the pleasures for which we grieve
The kind words unspoken, the promises
broken,
And many a coveted boon
Are stored away there in that land

The land of "pretty Soon"
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim.
Covered with mould and rust,
And oh this place, while it seems SO
near,
Is farther away than the moon.
Though our purpose is fair, yet we
never get there
To the land Of nretty Soon
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for its
shining strand
Bear skeletons on their decks.

And farther at night than at noon.

Nothing Original About Him.

One of the greatest sOrrOws OF famous
persOnages is that it is impossible to
live to the ideal opinion which the
pc ople whom they meet in the ordi-

1t is recorded that a certain literary
man OF high reputation had occasion
to remark to waiter in the restaurant
where he sometimes lunches:
;.Waiter, this beefsteak is tough"
The waiter looked at him with a
sorrowful expression and sighed deeply.

l cannot be mistakel a. 70 the ne
cessity of free raw materials as the
foundation of logical and sensible tariff
reform. The extent TO which this is
recognized in the legislation already
secured is one Of its encouraging and
redeeming features, but it is vexatious
to recall that while free coal and iron
ore have been denied us a recent letter
of the Secretary of the Treasury dis
closes the fact that both might have
been made free by the annual surren-
der of only about 100000 of unnec-
cessary revenue.
am sure that there is common
habit of Understanding the impor-
tance of free raw materials in tariff
legislation, and of regarding them as
only related to concessions to be made
to our manufacturers The truth is,
their influence is so far reaching that
if disregarded complete and benef-
cient scheme OF tariff reform cannot be
successfully inaugurated.
When we give to our manufacturers
free raw materials we unshackle Amer
lean enterprise and ingenuity, and
these will open the doors of foreign
markets to the reception of our wares
and give opportunity for the continu-
Gus and remunerative employment OF
American labor.
With materials cheapened by their
freedom from tariff charges the cost of
their product must be correspondingly
cheapened. Thereupon, justice and
fairness to the consumer would demand
that the manufacturers be obliged to
submit to such a re-adjustment and
modification of the tariff upon their
finished goods as would secure to the
people the benefit of the reduced cost
of their manufacture, and shield the
consumer against the exaction of in
ordinate profits.
It will thus be seen that free raw
materials and just and fearless regu-
lation and reduction of the tariff to
meet the changed conditions would
carry to every humble home in the
land, the blessings of increased COM
fort and cheaper living. The millions
of our countrymen who have fought
bravely and well for tariff reform,
should be exhOrted to continue the
struggle boldly, challenging to open
warfare and constantly guarding
against treachery and half heartedness
in their camp. Tariff reform will not
be settled until it is honestly and fairly
settled in the interest and to the bene-
fit of a patient and long suffering peo-
pie.
Yours very truly,
