FOR M.KlNLEY TO WEIGH.

1mmense Increase In Customs CoIlectaons
Under the Reform Tar,n.
The import business still continues
large and the rush at the custom house
5 constantly increasing. Collector Kil-
breth's big force of deputies and clerks
have all they can do to handle the en-
tries- The enemies of tariff reform,
however, declare that they see nothing
10 surprise them in these facts. They
Say that it is a natural sequence that
fhe reduction of the tariff should in
freose the volume of imports. But they
tay that the government must sustain
NseH, and that the Wilson bill will not
fring sufficient revenue. To these gen
qemen Cashier Northrup, of the custom
4ouse, has the following answer to
make:
1.-The custom house at the port of
New York collects about so per cent. of
the revenue from imports of the entire
United States. The collections here
are increasing to such an extent that
there is every promise that the Wilson
TIL viii furnish as much if not more
revenue than did the Mckinley bill.
1he last three months have been ex-
tfemely encouraging, and comparison
bftween them and the corresponding
months of 1894 may open the eyes of
s<ne of the gentlemen of the opposi-
tpn.
e'For instance, the collections at this
PORT during July, 1894, were 90, 216,-
1921, and those for July, 1895, were
p,690 ,666.66. In August past we col
lefted SIC. 372, 078.41, and in August,
1se4. the collections were IS, $50. 715.7s.
fThe Wilson bill went into effect on
August %, 1894. The revenues collected
fog the month following were 50,
4ots The opposition asserted that
there was nothing to be surprised at In
the fact that the receipts increased
$4,000 600 over the preceding month.
Tf1ey asserted that importers had pur
DOeely held back their entries in order
to lake advantage of tariff reduction.
That is probably true, but the imports
forSeptember, 1895, show a revenue of
50. 3D. ,012.56, an increase of s92, 667.7 e."
Mr.. Northrup. at the request of the
World, has prepared the following in
teresting table comparing the customs
receipts at the port of New York for
twelve months of 1S93-1S94 under the
Mckinley bill with the corresponding
months of 1S94-1S95. during the last
ten months of which the Wilson bill
wasin force. It is as follows:

MANAGEMENT OF TURKEYS.


The Practical Experience OF . W0maa
Who Has Tried lt.
Writing ON the management of tur-
keys lady correspondent of tho
Practical Farmer il very practical.
She says that unlimited range, where
they can do no injury to gardens, is
the road to success in the raising OF
turkeys. Then, of whichever breed is
preferred, select vigorous stock. She
prefers the Mammoth Bronze or White
Holland to other varieties. Then have
them tame, so their eggs can be pro-
cured without having to hunt for their
nests, as in the latter case half of them
will never be found. About three hens
are as few and ten as many as it pays to
Keep with one gobbler. This is owing
to the time one can spend to look after
them and the kind and size of range
they have to ramble over with their
young. She prefers a wheat or oats
stubble opening out to prairies or hills.
Ply all means raise the young ones with
the turkey hens. An old chicken hen
with gang of turkeys peeping around
is a menace to the household. They
rcver grow half as large as those that
range with the turkey hens, and if
they grow at all they eat their heads off
twice over. She always sets chicken
hen when she sets the turkey hen, plac-
ing about eighteen eggs under the tur-
ley and nine or ten under the chicken
hen. Then when all are Matched, she
gives all to the turkey hen. She will
then have a fine brood large enough for
her to hover at night and during
rain.
Never pen turkey hens and their lit
tie ones, as is sometimes advised, but
look after them tenderly for the first
months of their lives, feed them light
bread and milk or hard-boiled eggs for
a week, three times a day, then twice I.
day for the next week or two according
to the weather. Feed just corn bread
made with milk and eggs SO it will be
light. Then feed them once day
cheese curd, mashed potatoes, corn
bread. or most any thing they will eat,
just to keep them so they will not grow
SO wild, until they are six weeks old.
Then if they have been on good range
they will be fully feathered out to
stand a rain without shelter, except
what they naturally seek under trees.
and can take care of themselves until
time to sell them in fall. Where there
are large wild animals, such as wolves.
foxes, ETC.. it is a question for persons
to settle in their own minds whether or
not it will pay to raise turkeys, consid-
ering the low prices that have prevailed
the last two years. This lady's expert
ence has proven to her that they are the
very hardest of poultry, despite all les.
sons to the contrary.

Dry Dirt aud Leave. for Poultry.

The best work that can be done for
the fowls in the fall is to lay in a supply
of leaves and dry dirt under shelter.
1t is scratching in the winter that
keeps the hens in best laying condi-
tion, and when the snow is on the
ground pile of dirt and leaves in the
poultry house will afford an oppor-
tunity for exercise, and greatly tend
to make the hens more contenteti in
confinement. Too many leaves cannot
be put away. They will be found very
useful, and will also assist in retain
ing warmth in the poultry house by
preventing cold drafts of air along the
foor.-Farm and Preside.

THE ODIOUS PRINCIPLE.
Which Ruled the Reed-Mckinley Cor

Which Ruled the Reed-Mckinley Cor
gress OF 1890.
That is a qualified expression which
comes from the Massachusetts republic
ans on the tariff question. They
want steps taken toward tariff revision.
but insist that they do not want the
republican party committed to any
specific measure or any particular
policy moving in that direction.
If the Massachusetts republicans had
mustered enough candor to say pub
licly what the men who manipulated
them were thinking, it would have
been such a deliverance as this: Don't
reaffirm the principle OF the Mckinley
law in specific phrase and exact degree.
The country has repudiated it once and
will certainly do SO again, and the re-
publican party as well if it again de-
clares for it. And do not nominate
Mckinley. The most conservative
tariff platform it would be possible to
make would be unavailing to save us
from defeat if the nomination of Nc
Kinley were made its accompaniment.
There is trick worth a dozen of that.
Declare for protection of American
industry and American labor in gen.
eraI and tumultuOuS terms. Nominate
on that platform some man who is en-
tirely colorless on the question, and
then. if we win, we can pass law
even more drastic than the Mckinley
bill made, which our president will
sign and through which our friends
who have contributed campaign funds
can get their money back
Massachusetts, repu blicanS have
never been particularly friendly to
Maine candidates for the presidency,
yet it is almost impossible to avoid the
conclusion that this time they are act
ing in the interest of Mr.. Thomas
Reed. But is not Reed as deep IN pro-
lection mud as Mckinley is in the mire
of that odious principle of government?

How to Unpack tha Woolens.


With the chilly autumn days the
housekeeper will look to her woolens
which have been carefully slowed
away in camphor and taxpayer during
the summer months. Every garment
must be carefully examined and
brushed. so that if even one moth has
survived the summer season he may be
at once destroyed. The furs that are
to be made over or dressed are laid to
one side to be sent to the furrier's; the
flannel underwear is looked over and
every tiny rip mended and all buttons
frightened, that the warm clothes may
be ready to put on when necessary.
Coats and heavy dresses that are to be
also donned with the arrival of severe
weather should be hung on the line
out of doors for several days, always
being taken in at night. Two or three
days of such airing as this will effec-
tually dismiss all odor from the thick
fo1ds.-Chicago Tribune.
