ME-. Reed Writes of Enlightened Selfish
ness as Applied to Protection.


Washington, April 7.-Mr. Reed sent the
following letter to G. L. Vaughan of
Hutchinson, Kansas, in reply to one for
warding an extract from a speech of the
former:
House of Representatiy es,
Washington, DC.
My Dear Sir;-Your favor received.

The passage occurred in short ex-
temporaneous speech with no point

made to secure the aid of New England
by sacrificing the interests of the West
under guise of giving New Enlgand free
raw material, by removing the duty on
coal, iron and wool.
OF course such free list would be
very attractive to New England if she
acted from pure selfishness.
But, took occasion in q few words
of incomplete statement which the audi
ence | addressed perfectly understood,
to point out how shcrt-sig hted it was for
New Eng land to accept the bride.
Already many Massachusetts manu-
facturers have legitimately gone West
and more must do SO.
Under these circumstances, perfectly
understood by my audience. some short
sighted men were trying by the promise
of free coal, free iron ore and free wool
to persuade New England that she could
monopolize the manufacturing.
/ pointed out to them that the legisla-
ton rendered them was foolish; that
the low duties of the Wilson bill would
destroy their manufactures, and that
when they were once destroyed they
could be rebuilt only under the re-
esta blished protection nearer the market
and nearer the materials.
In short, if New England helped ruin
the country, the ruin would be first and
most complete for them on their I'M
kindly soil.
Such. in my Judgment. would oe the
fact and this the country cannot afford.

features are.
An idle factory goes to pieces in five
years and to destroy expensive plants
and to throw away all capital involved.

most of all New Enigand, would have to

THE BEST SEED CORN.
In Selecting Varieties Consider Soil, Gil
mate and Also Average Production.

In Selecting Varieties Consider Soil, eli
mate and Also Average Production.
''It is simple enough to say that the
best seed possible should be used for the
corn crop, but this includes more thar
we realize until we have experimental q
few years." says writer in The Amer
lean Cultivator. He says: "As to vari-
ETY., we must first decide upon seeds.
We have many sorts of corn scattered
over the whole country from one end to
the other, and every farmer knows that
no one variety will do for all sections
The Golden Beauty, Pride of the North,
Mammoth Chester and many others have
their advocates, but in listening to their
praises we must take into consideration
the soil and climate where they are
grown successfully.
"The early varieties of corn do not gen
orally do as well in any section as the
late varieties, and variety that is early
for one locality may not be for another.
The most prolific corn crops are obtained
from fields sown with varieties that take
up nearly the whole growing season to
mature. This is a rule that one can fol-
low with fair safety. But, on the other
hand, there are places where intense sum-
mer droughts occur and nearly the whole
corn crop is checked in its growth by it.
A variety of corn should be selected for
such place that would be out Of bios
som before the dry spell arrived. Some
times very late variety will tide over
the heavy drought and come in blossom
and maturity afterward late in the au-
tumn.
ssThe variety must also be considered
from the standpoint of general average
production per acre. We must select
those that giveia heavy yield to the acre
when shelled and grains that are firm and
heavy. Soft corn is not as good as the
flint grain kind, and though the former
may yield more to the acre it will not be
SO valuable. There are also varieties of
corn that have firm, heavy grains and
very heavy yield when on the cob, but
when it is shelled the amount is com,
paratively small. Corn that is all cob is
not desired for any cornfe1d.
CATER the right variety for our field is.
selected we must follow the same pro-
gressive methods year by year in select
ing the best ears for seed. Many still
believe in gathering their seeds from the
general field, going through the rows
and gathering the largest and finest ears.
If one stops to calculate the cost, he
will find that it is no more expensive to
have separate plat Of ground for rails
ing seed corn Seed ears raised on this
separate ground will be far superior tc
any in the field Better culture can be
given to it, and the ears will be larger,
and the grains better developed. There
will be no crowding, and every ear will
have a chance to do its best. Besides
this, we are apt in this way to avoid con.
tamination with ears infested with corn

The British and the Seals.

Washington, April 7.---Confirmation
by cable dispatches from London of the
statement previously received with in
credulity that the Behring sea bill. in
PRODUCED and passed to second reading
in the British Parliament, contained a
clause exempting from forfeiture Cana
dian vessels which had already sailed,
has caused establishment in the State
department circles. 1t is declared that
our own bill was hurried through Con-
gress only after Sir JulianPaunoefoteh had
given his adherence to our contention
chat the decision of the Paris tribunal
went into effect upon it's announcement,
and that the wilful destruction of seals
should be prevented this season. The
exception in the British bill, it is con-
tended, vitiates the entire agreement,
and it is stated that the United States
has already requested an explanation
and a correction of the statute.
The matter was made the subject of
long discussion in the Senate today.

Among the Horsemen.

The frost is out of Rigby Park, due to
the comparatively mild winter and the
thorough manner in which it was pro-
tected. A horseman who drove over the
track two days ago expressed the opinion
that with good weather for ten days it
would be in condition to work horses for
the summer campaign.
The directors of the Maine Mile Track
Association will hold meeting Monday
afternoon, at the Office of their attorney.
Mr.. Dyer, for further action on the sea-
sons programme at Rigby Park.
The first foal dropped at Rigby Park
stables was by the highly bred Knox
mare Priscilla. The sire was Westland,
whose royal equine breeding all are IA
miiiar with. The colt was foaled on the
2sth and is particularly large and hand
some one and promises to do honor to
his already illustrious birthplace.
The horses in Portland and vicinity
have all wintered finely and have been
singularly free from all distempers and
ailments incident to the equine family.
They all act remarkably fresh and bright,
working OF the reads and streets daily,
and some of them will be heard
from little later on the tracks to the
advantage of the good reputation of
Maine horses.
Among them we may notice Irwin
Rowe's dapple gray PAGER Bradford B.,
hardened up by winters judicious work
and development of speed occasionally
on Portland street. Mr.. Rowe expects
to make the young gray do 2. Is or better
at Rigby this season.
Fl. A. Farnham, treasurer of the Maine
Mile Track Association, has wintered his
horses at the park stables and they have
come out in fine trim, which is a good
proof of the general health of the situa-
ton. Mr.. Faruham has several valu-
able young horses at Rigby, among them
Phenole by Prescott, a son of Harold.
Ira Clay recently sold the young green
trotter Dan c., by Leroy Knox, for $500.

ger mares, and there are lots of them
still in existence in Maine. Tan G, did
honor to his blood many time on the
snow on Portland street last winter.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by consti-

inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam-

Late advices from Honolulu are that
the American Union party has divided
into two sections over the further ad-
mission of Asiatlc laborers. The Con /.
servatives, or planter element, who favor
continued importation, have elected del
egates to central committee from two
of the Honolulu districts, while the
Radicals, who insist upon speedy
adoption of measures TO absolutely ex-
clude tine Asiatic immigrants. have chos-
en- delegates from the other three dis
tricts. 1t is probable that the matter
will be settled by compromise.

Successive Crops of Peas.

The following is from Buist's Garden
Guide: "Peas are an important crop in
every garden To keep up regular
succession of crops make sowings every
two weeks. There is great difference
in the quality of this vegetable, and it
would be folly to grow inferior varieties.
Where the ground is dry there should
be water run in the drills before the
peas are sown. Form the drills two feet
apart and three inches deep, dropping
the peas to stand about half an inch
apart, cover up, and the moisture will
at once vegetate the seed. AS soon as
up hoe we'll and keep clear of weeds.
When they are about one foot high, give
them stakes OF put in rods six feet apart
and run strong Irvine of any cheap kind
along them. Most cultivators permit
their peas to become too far advanced
before using them. The proper time to
have them in all their perfection is when
the pods have swelled and the peas
formed. When more fully advanced,
they always lose their deIicacy of fla
vor. The following varieties are desir-
able: For early sorts plant EARLY Morn
ing Star and Premier EARLY. Carter's
Stratagem, Pride of the Market, Hero
inc, Duke Of Albany and Evolution are
excellent sorts for the general crop.
Alaska is desirable second variety
Premium Gem is a delicious wrinkled
marrow. Adroneer is wrinkled mar
row, a popular variety. These two lat
ter varieties require support, and also
the following: Bliss Abundance,
productive cropper; Yorkshire Hero,
wrinkled marrow, great bearer; Cham
pion of England, wrinkled marrow,
very productive and of delicious flavor.

pointers For Potato Growers.

American Gardening furnishes these
rules: /. Select only choice seed. Q. Do
not allow seed to sprout before planting.
8. Cut seed so as not to put more than
four eyes in hill. 4. Plow deep, and
do it well. 5. Cultivate your ground
thoroughly before planting. 6. As soon
as the potatoes are up so you can see the
rows cover them well. If thought best,
cover them the second time; then let all
your cultivation be surface work. Hill
every time you cultivate. See that the
bugs relooked after. Z. Dig as soon as
ripe where there is no rot. If rotting,
leave them in the ground until rot

Perhaps the only first-class sailing
canoe owned in this city-at least the
only one we know offs now ut Orr's
Island, where it has been all winter. 1t
is sixteen feet long, with very strong
ribs and braces and inside sheathing,
and is covered with canvas. The cockpit
is about eight feet long. For four feet
on each end the canoe is covered with
canvas. ssssAll the fittings are in brass and
polished wood. There sare two sails and
lib. In fact the sailing rig is just the
same as a Hampden fishing boat. 1t is
three years old and cost scarcely 500. The
first owner concluded thai he wasn't
born canoe-sailor and put it up for
rattle. The winner concluded soon that
other boats are safer and stored it in
Ctr hall basement. The recent owner
is Mr.. P. j. Liback, who is now having it
painted and proposes to sail in 1t.
