Good While They Last.

A large watch manufacturer says
that his cheap watches may be de-
pended upon to keep as good time as
his costly ones, but they will not last
so long. The works in each are es'
sentially the same, but the ieweled
bearings of the expensive watches
will long outwear the cheaper bear
inqs of the others. The costly
watch is the watch for a lifetime, o.
perhaps longer; the cheap watch
may be expected to give out in ten'
fifteen or twenty years.

The Agricultural Report.


Secretary Morton, who is In his mental
characteristics most interesting member OF
the Cabinet, has given to the farmer lot
port. He doean't deal with seeds and
tugs and taistles exclusively. At the very
cad of his report he drops agriculture for
finance, and, after telling the farmer that
theinports OF farm products for the fiscal
year 1894 amounted to upward OF $685.
100000, he asks abruptly: "Would
the S60,000,000 worth Of farm prod
ucts from the United States sold
last year to foreign nations have been as re-
muneratiye to the American farmer II they
had been paid for In silver as they have been

Morton deTotes lot OF space to our ex'
ports, BE shows that Great Britain takes
the great bulk of all we send
abroad, and that she pays Americans
less than she pays Canadians and Danes
and others for similar exports, BE-
cause they cater to British taste witn
greater success than Americans do. Mr.
Morton gives dig at potato raising oy snow.
to the United States markets for sales until
the New York price raises to nbout 1925
sack, The Secretary continues: There
liz a growing demand in England foi
American horses. During the first nine
months of the year 1894 the English market
took 2s11 American driving horses, at an av-
eraee value Of S1S9 per head. Last year the
average price OF those shipped was $3.50. A
sound, light, draught horse, In good condi-
tion, Of the size and weight adapted to
omnibus work in cities, will gener-
ally bring, in Liverpool or London, $3.50.
The Secretary recommends that the pur.
chase of seeds for gratuitous and promts.
cuous distribution be utterly abol.
tshed, and that not one cent be ap'
proprIated for such distribution. During
