When the Wilson law put copper
on the free list the Republicans
made proclamation it would kill the
copper industry. The new tariff
has been in operation about nine
months, during which time the value
of copper exported from this coun-
try has been sT ,396,OO7. This does
not look like killing an industry by
free trade, when we are exporting
such a large amount and meeting
the competition of the world. The
exports of copper for the full year
will have greater value of the ex-
ports of any year during the Nc
Kinley law. "The copper industry
was never in a more hourishing
condition." says a trade paper.
And under the Wilson law.
The attention of our esteemed
Republican contemporaries is called
to the fact that not only has the
Administration succeeded in undo
ing the blunders of its predecessor,
with the result of an increased and
still increasing activity in business
the country over, but it has also
manipulated the Treasury deficit
into what will be at the end of the
current month an excess of two or
three millions of dollars over ex-
penditures-a happy condition of
affairs not reached in any one
month for several years. If this be
Democratic bungling and incompe-
tency, the country will be thankful
for little more of the same.

The Country Home.

At this season of the year farm
children have much more fun than
the boys and girls that are obliged
to stay in the city. But neither the
young ruralists nor their fathers
and mothers nor their grown up
brothers and sisters have nearly SO
much pleasure as they might have.
The reason is that so many country
people take no pains to make their
homes attractive. Even those who
are comparatively we'll to do are too
often content to live year after year
in tumble down houses, with weedy,
shadeless yards about them, and
not a flower to be seen.
Comparatively little labor and
time would convert the old place
into bower of beauty which would
be like an oasis in the desert in after
years to the children. No farm
house is so humble in all this broad
land that 1t could not have porches
with white climbing roses about
them, an emerald green lawn shad-
ed with fine naples and elms, a fra
grant, beautiful honeysuckle hedge
in place of the ramshackle old yard
fence, clump of rich, dark ever
green's on the northwest exposure,
winding carriage drive, above
which an avenue of trees grows
trees that nod their waving plumes
across to one another in friendly
recognition. Country boys and
girls would not be so anxious to get
away from home if the farmhouse
were made more attractive.

Bismarck's proposition to make
the German cabinet ministers reside
each upon a farm and make living
off it would not be a bad idea for
the governments of other countries
than Germany. The tendency of
legislation in general in all COUP

moneyed classes and consciously
or unconsciously against the agri-
culturist Farmers themselves are
beginning at last to wake up to this
fact. The result is seen in the agra
rianagitation in Germany, and the
formation of the Farmers Alliance
and other societies in the United
States. The rural inhabitant is one
of the persons indicated by Lincoln
when he said it was impossible to
fool all the people all the time.

WINTER DArRYING.
Why There Should BE No eAbandonmene-
of the Industry.

Why There Should BE No eAbandonmen9
of the Industry.
There is but little doubt that the COM
ing winter will see good many farmers
abandoning dairying as winter busi-
ness on account of the high price OF
many of the cow feeds and scarcity, bat
in most of these instances we think
mistake will be made. A disadvantage
is that cows are selling cheap, even for
the best, and next spring they will be
unusually high, and the dry COWS win
tered will eat and produce nothing to
compensate for their food. When it
comes to a problem of exchange, it is
doubtful if feed even at present prices
can be turned into anything more prof
liable than 2O-cent butter, provided one
has a warm barn and the necessary ar
engagements to well care for his COWS,
so that there is not an undue demand
upon the food to protect the cow from
the rigors of winter; and this waste
makes the feed bill high, when tar paper
and hemlOck boards would have accom-
plished the same purpose and left the
food-eXtra-to have gone either to
more economical keeping of the cow or
a greater yield of milk. One of the rea
sons why the winter dairy well man
aged is profitable is that there is daily
compensation for ones labor and out
lay in feed, as there is constant call
for milk and butter in the winter, and
one is not obliged to anticipate or run
up bills for the future, as butter and
milk are spot cash goods, and it is a
quick rotation--if the term may be used
of feed into produce, and as quickly
turned into money. Not the least OF
the economies of the winter dairy is
the fact that as now demonstrated, the
milch cow will actually do better and
produce better on the more rough foods,
like corn fodder, roots and the like, with
corn and cob meal combined with some
oil meal and the like, than upon fine and
more costly market hay, and this gives
the farmer a chance to turn these
bulky, unstable feeds into the finest of
foods for humanity, and, more, gives
him employment in the winter, and in
his interesting and profitable work he
finds little time to yearn for seat in
the legislature. The winter dairy has
a place in the farmers farm work, and
there should be little abandonment of
the industry, for the man who does so
will soon regret his decision. Better
keep at it.--Practical Farmer.

Why 1t Should Be Kept in View by tn

Why 1t Should Be Kept in View by the
Builders of Roads.
In nearly every work on road con-
struction, the author lays down two
distinct rules; first make the lines as
nearly straight as possible, and when
changes in line occur connect them by
regular curves of proper radius; sec
ond, when the line is intended to be-
straight, let it be absolutely SO. These
rules are in very large degree consid-
cred obligatory and their violation
does a great deal towards spelling the
beauty of any landscape through which
it is necessary to make a road. A great
many in following fixed rules and prin-
ciples regard beauty as thing TN.
worthy of consideration, and fine trees
of a century's growth are ruthlessly
cut down, and hill shades marred by
deep and ugly cuttings when by making
slight bend in the road, and following
the contour of hill with it's natural
and irregular curves, the road would be
given more beauty and expense could
often be saved.
A consideration of the natural con-
ditions ought TO be among the deter
mining elements of line of road, the
capability to seize upon and make the
most of those natural conditions ought
to be one point of discussion. The aes-
thetic elements in the problem of MAX
ing a road are not necessarily at vari-
ance with practical considerations.
Let road makers consider this ques-
ton, consider how much beauty might
be preserved, and added to our land
scapes, especially in suburban COM
munities, without the sacrifice of any
reasonable unitarian requirement.
1t is the wanton disregard for beauty
without any corresponding gain which
should be protested against

PAVED BY ANCIENTs.
Discovery of a Remarkable Prehistoric
Road in California.

Discovery of a Remarkable Prehistoric
Road in California.
Some weeks ago a local newspaper
reported interesting discoveries made
on the north slope of San Miguel noun
tain by Herman c. Cook and c. A. Fau-
veil, two mining prospectors, the dis
coveries comprising prehistoric stone
roadway, number of mining tools and
unmistakable traces of an ancient min
ing camp. The age of the roadway was
indicated by the growth upon it of large
trees. What were believed to be the
dumps of one or perhaps two mines
were also found, and chunks of ore
which carried gold and silver were
picked up there. The prospectors have
been very reserved in speaking of their
discovery. They arrived here a few
days ago, however, and it has leaked out
/ that it is of much greater interest
than at first supposed. The stone
paved road was traced to wall of solid
: and well-executed masonry This was
found to surround an Enclosure now
filed with debris, but which is believed
! to be an old arastra. portion of the
floor is there, and fragments of a crush
ing stone were found. Near this aras-
ira was discovered the mouth of a tun-
mel filled with debris. This is now be-
ing cleaned out. A keystone sur
mounted the arch at the entrance and
the walls are we'll defined, though some
what disintegrated. In the vicinity are
also traceable the foundations of no less
than 10 small houses and fiat stone,
bearing an inscription which has not
been deciphered, is thought to mark the
location of the tunnel, and the pushing
of the investigation into the mountain
will lead to more interesting discoveries
than any yet made bearing on the life

The Beet Leaf Miner.

DR.. J. A. Lintner, of New York state,
as reported in Insect Life, has found
the larvae of several species of flies
mining the leaves of beets in some vege-
table gardens of the state. This insect
has also been found to be doing consid-
cradle damage to some sugar beet plan
tations in California. 1t seems that
there is little that can be done in the
way of direct remedies for this insect,
without sacrificing the foliage, al
though the foliage is not important to
the beet crop after a certain time. In
sect Life recommends the cutting and
destruction of the beet tops after the
roots become well grown. If this plan
be adopted, and the fields be plowed
and narrowed after the roots are dug,
the probabilities are that no serious
damage will follow next season.

DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
A Canadian Woman Tells How to Make
Cows Pay Profit.

Canadian Woman Tells How to Make
Cows Pay Profit.
Mrs. E. M. Jones, of Brockville, Ont,
who is famous dairy woman, in an adj
dress before a farmers congress in
Quebec, said:
eve must increase our products and
increase our profits, too. And one
great way of making more profit is to
follow the teachings of all great dairy
schools and colleges. They continually
tell us to lessen the cost of production.
How is this to be done? By starving
our COWS? Far from it. But by keep
ing a better class of cows, feeding and
caring for them better and using more
skill and care in making our butter. We
thus increase our output and at the
same time we lessen the cost of produce
ton.
do not think l advocate too high
feeding, for that is almost as great an
error as starving your cattle. Feed gen
erously and of suitable material, but
her up to the highest point at which she
pays for the feed, and not one bit be-
yond it.
''In my herd the usual green ration for
each animal in full milk varies from
seven to ten pounds per COW each day.
This is composed of ground oats.
ground peas, wheat bran and OCCASION
ally very little oil meal. The ration
is divided into two feeds and given night
and morning upon the silage. Should
the silo be empty, the grain is always
fed upon hay that has been cut and
moistened.
''The quantity of silage fed is 80 to 40
pounds day. At noon my cattle get
very small feed of cut carrots or
mangels, and any further supply Of
food required consists of bright, early
cured, long hay put in their hangers.
They get all the salt they need, all the
water they want twice day, and each
COW is we'll curried and brushed over
every day. Whenever weather permits
they are turned out for short time
about noon, but are never left out till
cold and tired. The barns are thor
oughly cleaned out twice a day."

Soft is the song upon the evening air,
And oh! so soft the lovey-doVey pair;
And soft the glance from some dark-eyed
coQuette
But roads like this, ah! they are softer yet
and harness, so far as the pursuit of
pleasure these things afford is con-
.cerned. The wheel would transport
him more cheaply, speedily and pleas
-antly, on many occasions, than horses
and carriages could do.
AS a matter of course, the farmers
daughter must be similarly supplied
with a wheel in order that there may
be harmonious blending of pleasures.
Farmers well know that during the
inactive portions of the year horses are
a source of expense. They "eat their
heads OFF, is common expression.
They are also constant care.
Toiling or resting, the wheel eats no
oats. 1t does not require constant at
tention. It is always ready for the
rider, day or night It will not suffer
if left standing unblanketed in a cold
wind.
All in all, it is plainly evident that at
least one of the steeds kept on every
farm should be of the steel variety. 1t
will make life easier for the other
horses and their master.
Farmers should be in favor of good
roads, not alone for their horses sake,
but that they may avail themselves of
the pleasure and profit that would be
derived from the use of the bicycle.-L.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Never hill up the earth around the
trees.
Plant young trees not more than two
years from the bud or graft.
Never apply fresh manure so that it
will come in direct contact with the
roots.
Do not put apples for long keeping in
the cellar or in pits until cold weather
sets in.
The unsightly webs of the tent cater
pillar that appear in the orchard
should be cut off and burned.
The objection to late growth on trees
is that it produces tender wood that is
liable to be injured by freezing.
The best ground for peach orchard
is sandy soil that has been planted for
several years with general crops.
Cut out and burn all plants of rasp-
| berries and blackberries affected with
orange rust. 1t is the only safe remedy.
Spraying with London purple, one
ounce to ten gallons of water, is given
as sure remedy for the tent caterpI-
! lar.
Clean up and burn all rubbish in the
orchard as soon as possible; by so doing
great numbers of insects will be de.
stroyed.
Autumn is a good time to prune the
grape. The work can be done at any
time after the leaves have fallen. Usu-
ally the more room a vine can be given
to extend the better the success.
Whether to run horizontally or upright,
the vines should be trained as nearly as
possible in straight lines.-St. Louis Re-
Dublic
