bury manufacturer referred to, "how
are we to continue to do so If the cost
of our raw material is greater than
manufacturers in the district who be-
lieve that some years must elapse be-
fore the Americans can produce low
worsteds and mantlings of such quail
ty and such price as to shut English
goods out of their markets, and in the
meantime other markets may be opened
to this country"
Blissful ignorance! 1 should think
so. But there cannot be much true soul
blissfulness when these very manufac-
turers rejoice to know that the domes-
tic makers are much chagrined by not
being able to meet them fully on their
own ground. But for my own part l
am glad to know that domestic makers
have a higher ideal than the shoddy
makers of Bailey and Dewsbury. If
the sheep and wool industry had no bet
ter friends than these manufacturers of
cotton and shoddy" our farmer friends
would fare very badly. But while say
ing keep out of such an ignominious
blending of materials altogether,
would ask: How long is this to con-
tinue?
But, do you ask. what is the real
actual difference in the value of man
ufactured textiles which are today
landed in New York as compared with
the days of the Mckinley tariff? Let
me definitely state. Presidents and
beavers from this district had, even be-
fore the Mckinley bill was passed, to
pay duty of nearly 200 per cent. A
president cloth weighing 90 ounces to
the yard, which could be sold In this
country by the manufacturer at SO
cents yard, would have to realize over
$114 yard in New York to pay the
producer. In the first place there would
be 80 cents pound specific duty to
pay upon it equal to Is. 3D., or So cents
q yard. In addition there would be a
so per cent. ad valorem duty, or IS cents
a yard. In addition there would be 5
TO 10 per cent. for commission and car
riage, thus bringing the price up to the
prohibitive figure Observation-Disclosures

The Maguey.

The cactus family are remarkable TOT

them are, Notwithstanding all this, rep

most remarkable of all is plant not
properly a cactus, but in some re-
spects similar, called the AgaVe OF
American Aloe; and another species,
the Mexican variety, or Maguey piant'
being the same as cultivated in our con-
servatories under the name OF Century
plant. The Mexican variety grows 10
an enormous size, and is cultivated IN
that country as a hedge plant. The
fibres of the leaves are under the name
of Maguey used for the manufacture OF
thread Irvine, ropes, etc., but its prin-
cipal value is for the juice, which yields
sugar, and which, when diluted with
water and subjected to four or five
days fermentation, becomes an agree
able but Intoxicating drink called Pull
que, which is the national beverage OF
the Mexicans. This liquor is obtained
by cutting or scooping out basin in
the very heart of the plant, into which
juice called honey-water flows at the
rate of from four to eight quarts a day.

The "off OK" is the OK on the right
side of the team. The one on the left
side Is the nigh OK" This comes from
the fact that the driver in this country
drives from the left side. Teams turn
out to the right and this gives the dri-
yer command of the situation. Flows
turn the burrows to the right. so the
driver can be on the unplowed land.
The terms nigh" and "off' apply to
any team or riding animal, and per-
haps have wider application in de-
scribing relative positions. Riders al
ways mount from the nigh side of the
horse, and artillerymen ride the nigh
horse. There are countries where the
driver is usually on the off side, but it
is not the rule. In copying pictures in
engraving the right and left sides
must be reversed on the plates to show
properly on the print. If this is not
done we have what is often seen. the

his left hand.

photography in sport

The value Of photography in deter
mining the start or finish of n race
was splendidly evinced by Mr.. West,
the English expert at Swansea, Eng
land. He snapped the Defender and
Valkyrie just as they were in collision
and his picture was of great value in
determining the minds of the regatta
committee in arriving ut their verdict
in favor of the Defender. for the pic
ture showed that the Valkyrie had
plenty of room and could easily have
avoided colliding with the Defender.
For years l have tried to induce race
track magnates to properly photo
graph the starts and finishes of all
their important races. If this were
d, :" there would be check on start
ers setting down or filming jockeys TO
excuse their own bad work with the
flag, and preventive of bad decisions
by judges in close contests where their
eyes were defective. l hope that next
year the official photographer will be
as important functienary on the race
track as tho judge, starter or steward.

Trees. Exponents of Soils.

Soils may be indicated quite accur-
ately by the trees that grow naturally
upon them, since the native growth is
the one that has appeared there after
centuries of contest for the survival

there If planted, tended and protected,
but the native tree is the proprietor by
natural selection.

Pines and chestnuts choose lighter
and often sandy soil. Oak, hickory
and poplar choose naturally soil that,
when cleared, is very appropriate for
wheat. Soils that produce beach and
maple will also produce corn, potatoes
and barley. White oak chooses mod

With it are found also Spanish oak,
black oak, scarlet oak. and dogwood.
Black walnut requires rich fairly dry
soil, such soil as will produce also

White maple seems to thrive best on
the banks of streams, where pure wa

character of soil in the manner of the
growth of trees. 1t will be noticed that
on hard clay soil the trees are of slow

Bradford, Eng, Oct. II, 1895.
Ever since l took cognizance of the
daily public life of Bradford and its
surrounding manufacturing districts,
must frankly admit that / never saw
Yorkshire in such "fettle' as she is
today. Talk about the people being
morbid and walking about with their
hearts in their pockets. All that senti-
mental feeling and liberalism" was
buried last December 81, when the (sup-
posed last of McKinleyism was con-
signed to its long resting place.
Ever since January dawned the bar
ometer has commenced to rise, and to-
day, throughout the manufacturing dis
trict OF Yorkshire. the trade mercury
stands at the maximum heat. Nobody
knows this more than our daily press,

LAS to whether the makers of heavy
woolens will for any length of time be
able to maintain their present hold in
the American markets, there prevails
some difference of opinion amongst
Dewsbury manufacturers. The head of
one large firm does not take an optim-
lstic view of the situation. The fact
that the Americans have for years been
manufacturing large proportion OF the
cloth they require shows that they
have no small producing power, and
that they may soon be able to adapt

1t is, of course, very desirable, in the
interests of the British manufacturer,
that our cousins across the mill pond
should continue to remain in blissfui
ignorance. Knowing as we do Brother
Jonathan's go ahead, never-to-be-beat-
en- temperament, however, this seems
Mighty improbable. There is also the
important fact to be taken into consid-
Grafton that, whilst in England raw ma
terlal, owing to the increased demand
Tor 1t, is advancing, in America the ten
dency is for it to decline, because the
home manufacturers are using less of
it. The cost of carriage and the high
duties which yet remain upon British
heavy woolens demand that we should
produce more cheaply than the Ameri-
cans themselves.

corolla about an inch long, which is
purplish at first, but changing to a

plant has handsome appearance. The
nutlets, Of which there are about four
in each flower, are small, roundish and
rough, with a peculiar appearance,
which has been likened to a viper's

Exhaustive Pollen Production.
L am glad TO note that we are begin
ming to look at things in a different
way. We must look upon plant life as
living animals, conscious of all sur-
roundings and appreciative of gener-
Gus care: male and female brought in
to existence by the same immutable
law that brings the mammal into life
that the exhaustive effort of procrea-
ton in the male animal when left to
unbridled excess, produces the same
disastrous effect upon the male plant
potency. What grower has meditated
and thought for a moment when his or
chard was unfolding that magnificent
but excessive bloom in the spring
every twig and limb loaded with beau
tiful flowers shedding the golden dust
from the anthers which surround tho
pistils, that the whole life Of the tree

fruit a mass of undeveloped hulks and

scrub; but when seeking the cause
of decline in his orchard, he spends
his time in depreciating the unfayor

storms, forgetting that under proper
restriction the vigor of the tree and
potency of its pollen and healthfulness
of its pistils would be equal to these
emergencies.-R. NJ. Kellogg.
