Import Duties Cut a Small Figure Except
In Times of Scarcity.
1t appears from statistics gathered by
the agricultural department that during
the ten years ended June 80, 1894, there
were imported into the United States
29,495,417 bushels of potatoes, valued
at $13, l55, 43l, says the Philadelphia
Record The imports Of potatoes during
the same period exceeded in value the
exports by the sum Of 80, 800, ,845.
At first view it seems remarkable that
country in which there is such q pro.
lific yield Of potatoes should not fully
supply itself without importations. But
into the question of supply the cost Of
transportation enters as controlling
factor. 1t is sometimes cheaper to bring
potatoes from the Canadian provinces,
Bermuda, or even Scotland, by means
Of water transportation and to pay the
tariff levied upon them than to supply
our eastern markets from domestic
sources at heavier cost Of land transpor-
tation. It must also be remembered that
the potato crop is very uncertain crop
Sometimes the potato bug and sometimes
"the rot" plays havoc with the yield.
The tariff is Of small consequence, ex-
cept to make dearer the seed Of the
farmers in years Of scarcity and the pur-
chases Of consumers who are SO situated
as to be more cheaply supplied from for.
eign sources.

1T is ALL RIGHT.
There Is Nothing the Matter With the
Democratic Tariff.

There Is Nothing the Matter With the
Democratic Tariff.
There is unquestionably q remarkable
revival of industry all over New Eng
land. Fall River has advanced the pay Of
operatives from 10 to IL per cent, and 9th
er centers of the textile industry have fol-
lowed This is only one phase Of the re-
vival. The shoe towns are doing rush.
ing trade, and, III fact, there is increased
activity from Maine to Rhode Island.
The revival in the textile factories,
marked by n general increase Of wages,
is most noticeable because most recent.
The wage schedule in Fall River, which
has gone into effect, affects about 25,
900 employees. The advance in most
cases ranges from 10 to ~ per cent, and
lhis means an increase Of from $l5, 900
to 5000 in the weekly pay rolls Of
the city.
In Providence and other parts
Rhode Island tho manufacturers ar
coming bacl; to the rates that prevailed
before 1893. The Weybosset Woolen
mills of Olneyville have increased wages
81. O5 per week, and the largest cotton
manufacturers will undoubtedly follow
the example of Fall River. Down in
the Quinnebogg valley notices Of in
crease have been made, and 5000 oper-
atives are happily affected in western
Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut
mills.
In Haveahill business is good, and
wages will be increased just as soon as
the local board Of Cancellation and ar
bitration can decide upon scale.

Horses In the Show Ring.

It is conceded that to be eligible to
win O prize in tho show ring horse
should be absolutely sound To this end
inspection by n qualified veterinary sur.
geon is indispensable. and If horse shows
are to take in America the place they
hold in England or France some rules
providing for such examination must be
formulated and put in force The regu-
lations of almost all the state fairs and
other shows held in this country pro-
vide for the inspection by veterinarians
OF the horses entered, but they are, to
speak plainly, never lived up to, and as
a result many an unsound horse has
been placed at tho head Of his class
A show is Intended primarily to be
educational. but nothing desirable can
possibly be taught by the awarding Of
the blue ribbon to horse that is not
sound, and therefore not entitled to q
position in tho prize list 1t Is natural
enough that managers of shows should
be averse to inJuring the reputation Of
any horse that may he exhibited, and
this feeling undoubtedly accounts for
the superticiality of the veterinary in
spection practiced ut the most Of the
shows held hitherto in America If,
however. it were known that each horse
sent forward would be subjected to q
rigid examination by board of we'll
known veterinarians. owners would
keep the unsound ones at home, and q
marked Improvement in the quality of
the exhibits would be noted in short
time.
The London method of inspection is
the most simple and consequently the
most easily managed. The horses en-
tered in any class are shown in the ring.
The judges select their "short leet,
the animals in which are then taken to
inspectors who examine them, give Ger.
tificates to those they pass and reject
those that are unsound in any particu-
lar. Those to which certificates have
been given arc then returned to the ring
and placed by the judges in their order
Of merit. Those that are rejected are
led to their stalls Of course horse
thus condemned depreciates in value the
moment he fails to reappear in the leet;
but, on the other hand, it is known that
the prize winners are absolutely sound,
which guides breeders in making their
selection. Placing, then, together the
depreciation mentioned and the great
good to be derived from using only
sound horses, it will be found that the
latter very much outweighs the former.
and the advantages gained by enforcing
veterinary inspection at shows becomes
at once apparent to the most casual oh.

How Many Colonies of Bees Shall We
Keep In Our Apiaries?


Keep In Our Apiaries?
There seems to be growing tenden.
cy Of late to multiply our number of
colonies rather than tosee how good re.
suits can be obtained from few. The
question arises, Can or cannot bees bo
handled so that 80 colonies will produce
as good results, with less labor, than is
got from 300 worked in tho way of many
apiaries? Mr.. Ct. M. Doolittle, a we'll
known authority on all matters pertain.
ing to the honeybee, believes they can
and thinks that the day is coming when
one colony will produce as good results
as two are now doing, if they do not
equal four. He thus expresses himself
in the columns of The American Bee
Journal: II often find that 200 colonies
give but little if any better results than
do so, while I know that moro work is
required to care for 200 during year
than is required for 80. To this work
we have to add the extra expense of
hives, sections, etc., together with the
large amount of honey it takes to feed
those extra l5O colonies. This last, in
my opinion, is wherein lies the main
trouble in making large number pro-
duce as many pounds per colony as do a
few.
"From careful experiments and oh.
servations am led to believe that it
takes at least 60 pounds of honey to car
ry one colony of bees through the year;
herce if we only get 80 pounds from q
colony, an average yield that some bee.
keepers tell me they are satisfied with,
we get only one-third Of the honey our
bees gather, to pay us back for all our
labor and capital invested, and also only
one-third of the product of our field.
This product of the field cannot be over
looked, as have reason to believe from
past experience.
Mr.. Doolittle urges that we make q
/ few bees do for us what the market gar
deners of the large cities make small
piece Of land do for them-namely, Sc
cure as much profit from an acre of land
as some Of our country people do from
their tens of acres. He finds by care
full study of our bee papers that it is no
unusual thing to see reports where so
colonies Of bees have produced 5000,
6,O00, 1000 and even 5000 pounds of
honey, while he has yet to see report
quadrupling such where four times the
number Of colonies were kept. He has
himself secured an average of 1866
pounds Of comb honey from 81 colonies
| Of bees, spring count, as the average re-.
suit of q single season.

Many carefully conducted experiments
have shown conclusively the superiority
Of early cut hay for cows and growing
cattle. The proper time therefore to be-
gin the harvest is as nearly rs possible
at the period Of Towering. All ruminat-
ing animals do better on hay cut at that
time, but horses seem to prefer it made
from grass more advanced. From this
point learn to make the hay for horses
last In cutting of the hay crop the NOW
er should be started as soon as the dew
has dried off in the morning. In a short
time the tedder should distribute tho
grass evenly that it may be dried to the
same state. Cutting at this stage will
invariably give the most palatable and
nutritious hay for all dairy cattle and
sheep
Never cut the grass too young or be-
fore tho nutritive qualities are convert
ed from watery condition. When cut
before that transformation, too much Of
| IL will be lost in drying and the balance
will sour in curing. Every haymaker
must have noticed that clover cut before
1T is in full bloom, or timothy before the
| first blossom, becomes very light to the
bulk when dry, which is evidence that
there ia little nutriment in it.

Reader, did you over take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "K1Na OF
LIVER MED1c1NEs?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body. and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to q
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-
tenn. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is BETTER THAN PILLS. It
does not grippe, nor weaken, but greatly
