FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Hon. Joel y. Heatwolc Ferrets Out Some
Interesting Things.


Farmers will be interested i'm some
figures and facts which Hon. Joel =.
Heatwole, OF Minnesota. recently pre-
scented in the house of representatives
showing the effect of the German tariff
upon their prosperity as compared with
the Mckinley tariff period. Under the
Mckinley tariff the duty on barley was
increased from ten TO thirty cents uer
bushcl. and, as "A result, the imDorta.
tions of barley fell from upward of
ll,OOO.OOO bushels 10 less than 900. 900
bushels. During the tine that the Nc
hinley law was i'm operation he farmers
OF the tnited States increased their an
nual barley production by 100000
bushels.
Heretofore Cannda had been our
greatest competitor in the barley mar
kct, but. since the repeal of the Nc
kinley law, Kussan barley has been
sent To this country. In addition to
this the Canadian government is offer
ing every inducem"nt to settlers in the
section adjoining the United States. w.
ing northwest of the Dakotas. where
the condition for barley raising is es-
pecially favorable.
In the year following the enactment
OF the Mckinley law the imports of bar
ley Tell OIL by more than onc-half. by
reason of the increased duty upon tina,
article. They conrInucd To fall wear
by year until, in the last year of the
Mckinley law, the imports amounted TO
less than l,OO0,OOO Bushels. In the very
frst year OF the German law, however.
the imports of barley increased by 200
per cent.
The increase in the imports of otb,,.
farm products since the repeal of III.
Hchlnley law has been equally great
In seeds they doubled the first wear
after the repeal of the Mckinley law.
oreadstuifs increased 10 por cent: in
nay there was an increase of 200 per
cent; in feathers an increase of 400 ne,.
cent; In hemp an increase of 900 prr
cent; in wool an increase from 50. 107.
l3S to 33,77O,159.
Mr.. Heatwole, in his remarks upon
this subject, made some interesting SUI
geStlonS, too. about the effect upon our
Export trade OF the repeal of the Nc
kinlcy law, saying:
90 Ihuch mas been said in the past by
democratic orators on the stump and
IN the halls of congress concerning ;hc
great results that would accrue 10
American agriculturists by free trade
or "A reduction of duties by reason 1T an
increased demand for American prod
ucts that some figures on this line are
pertinent. Throw open your ports To
the world and you will capture the man
kets of the world" they have asserted
time and again. We have tried that
long enough TO see how it works. The
following table shows what has been
the result, so far as the exports of many
agricultural products are concernr,;.
The figures given are for the year ended
June 30. 1894. under republican tariT.
and the year ended June 30. 1895. under
the democratic tariff:

Experienced fruit growers buy but
few varieties of trees and vines, but
the new beginners buy everything
they hear about.
Think of this farmers, one thou-
sand and ninety-tive meals in a year,
and how many times does the gar
den or orchard supply a part of them.
They are gotten up by the good
housewife with an ingenuity that is
marvellous, and without complaint,
notwithstanding the paucity of these
materials. Ought we not to feel al
most ashamed Of ourselves.
The New York Rural World tells
its readers that apples of all sorts
have been growing scarcer during
the past few years, and that fine
fruit is exceedingly hard to find in
the largest markets.
It would be well If farmers would
use more Of the home made manure
In the orchard. The ground needs
feeding to produce good crop of
hay or grass, and a good crop Of
well formed, large sized apples too,
especially In a drouthy year like the
past one. You can raise crops with
phosphatea and use the manure on
the orchard. twill pay.
