THE DEPRESsION CONTINUES.

The depression in manufacturing
circles still continues in spite of the
confident predictions that have been
made that cas- soon as the tariff bill was
settled and uncertainty removed, manu-
facturers would start up their mills
again" The House has passed the
tariff bill and it is now before the
Senate.
While the majority in the Senate is
not "A unit upon the bill there has not
been a moments discussion in regard
to the woolen or silk or cotton schedules.
The Senate has discussed a tax on
sugar, and tax on coal, and one on
iron, but has not discussed the other
schedules, and they will undoubtedly
pass as they came from the House.
Consequently the uncertainty " in
regard TO the tariff, so far as these in
dustries are concerned, is at an end.
The telegraph today shows however,
that business is not reviving in these
branches.
Ten thousand silk workers in Pater-
son, N. j., are idle because the weavers
would not accept the reduction made
necessary by the revised tariff.
The Merchants Woolen mill at East
Dedham is preparing to shut
down indefinitely, and will throw
out 800 hands. In northeastern
Connecticut, for THE News believes
in citing examples near at hand,
the Rock Woolen mills are closed,
and have been for a month, with 400
hands idle The Rockanum, Spring
vile, New England and American
Woolen mills are running one third of
their looms.
Belding Bros. & Co., silk manufac-
turers, are running with 400 hands 40
hours week with 10 per cent. cut
in wages. The Center Woolen Com
pany of Stafford Springs have no
hope of starting up at present, the War

mills at the same place are closed (;
Ellis mills are running under 12l per
cent. cut in wages. and the people of
Providence have no need to be reminded
of the situation in Olneyville.
The truth is, in spite of the fact that
manufacturers know under what condi-
tions they must work in the future, they
do not know nor can they figure on the
extent OF the cut that foreign manufac-
turers will make with the American
markets. Time alone can demonstrate
this and until the tariff bill has actually
been in operation it will be impossible
to measure fully the damage to American
manufacturing enterprises.

Farming without Wheat.

Many farmers are looking about for
substitute for wheat Just what that
substitute may be must be determined
by locality and markets. Following are
some suggestions made by the Philadel-
phia Farm Journal
Those who set a high value on the
straw for feeding and bedding stock, as
is the case with the truck farmers in the
middle states, can grow rye instead Of
wheat. By sowing early it can be pas
tured lightly in the fall, and even then
will grow good crop Of straw to cut
the latter part Of May, in time to plant
an early variety of field corn, sugar corn
or late potatoes on the stubble. The crop
being cut just as the grain is forming
makes first rate litter and hay that
cattle eat with avidity, and besides
makes comparatively light draft OH
the fertility of the soil
In the vicinity Of the cities there is
generally a brisk demand for clean,
straight rye straw at prices equal to the
best timothy hay. Where this is the
case it will pay we'll to grow rye and
thrash it in the machine now made for
the purpose OF thrashlng without break
ing the straw. Farmers who grow wheat
chiefly for the grain, and who have
good market for hay, will find it better
policy to seed the land to grass alone
and sell hay. 1t may be well to give
oats consideration as q substitute for
wheat For years this grain has been rel
atively higher than wheat. Larger and
still larger supplies seem to be demand
ed every year.
On many farms the area devoted to
orchard fruits, especially apples, might
be largely increased to the advantage Of
their owners. The same intelligent care
and an equal expenditure of labor and
money for fertility applied to an orchard
will certainly make greater returns than
when applied to wheat growing. With
orchard fruits the farmer can combine
the keeping of sheep and hogs for meat
production.

Succession of Stock Food.

1t is easy for a man to see that an
acre of ground divided into four parts,
with one part each in rye, crimson
clover, corn and millet, would give a
greater variety and succession of stock
food than if the whole acre were planted
to any one crop With the field divided
in this way, we have succession Of
green crops that may be used for soiling
before the pastures are fit for grazing
and after they are dried up, That fact
is very evident to any one that can see,
and the same thing is true, though to a
less degree, IF a succession of plants in
the pasture. 1t is great mistake to
seed pastures to ore or two grasses.
There might better be six or eight varie-
ties, which would give a succession Of
food through the season almost like the
four different crops on the acre of land,
says Rural New Yorker.

THE CORKlNG FOWLS.


Three Recognized Naricties-Ior ro. INK
Common Barnyard Flocl,s.
Tho Dorking is tho most popu ar =
all varieties of fowls i'll England. Ih.
1t is regarded as eminently the fariH-
ers fowl Three varieties a recognized
in this countly--tlp white, the silver
gray and the colored. The general chur-
acteristics of the three varieties are the
same. All have the five toes, the long
bodies, full breast, rather short legs and
heavy build. They show meaty qualities
especially about the breast, which is cs.
pecially full in both sexes All have
white or flesh colored legs and y hitc
skin.
The white variety is rather smaller
than tho other two, but possesses tho
same compact build and mca.y tu.l.tt.
This variety is bred only Vitn
combs It's plunagc throughout is pane
white. The colored variety is bed i,h
both single and rose cIu.hs. IitS.t a.
gray is also bred with 10th roc 81 e

stands 1T the head Of tho list.
Astn oas producer the DorLing Is
not the equal of some varieties. 1t lays
"A medium szod, creamy white egg,
many Of which have Il decidedly yellow
tint. IL, eggs are smaller than those Of
the Spanish and less numerous than
those Of the Leghorn. 1t cannot com
pete in egg production with the Plym-
GU h Rock
Tho hens DO not generally offer to sit
early in the season, but when they do
sit they prove exceptionally good ones
and are among the most exemplary of
mothers. In thus summing up the merits
Of this fowl The Poultry World adds
that the Dorlling is valuable to use for
crossing upon the common barnyard
focks. A farmer could hardly make a
better choice, when desiring to intro
duce fresh blood into his flock Of hens,
than by selecting a good sized, well
built Dorking cock. By so doing he
would add to the size and weight Of his
chickens and produce them with more
breast meat, and that with a richer
favor.
While being especially exempt from
some diseases which attack many fowls,
especially scaly leg, they arc peculiarly
liable to what is known as humble foot.
The authc~ity quoted believes that,
properly managed, the Dorking can be
made to pay well, inasmuch as for thor
oushbred eggs for Matching and for fine
specimens tor exhibition there is good
demand in this country and good prices
are rcaliZed.

Forty-four varieties Of wheat were
tested. These were grown under as near
ly similar conditions Of soil, exposure,
fertilizers, culture, ETC.. as possible,

careful WEIGHTS of tho product of he
different plots made at the time Of
thrashing. Twenty-six of these varieties
