average rate of duties on manufactures,
by removing raw materials from the
dutiable list. II cannot" said Mr.
Bailey in conclusion, "fnd language

would lift the burden of this government
from the great manufacturing establish
ments and lay it with crushing weight
upon the farms. do not plead
for special privileges for the farmers.
| only plead that all shall stand
equal before the law" The applause
with which these declarations were re-
ceived indicates that the Democratic
party will enter the next campaign with
tariff programme which will still fur
Their strengthen it in the farming dis
tricts, even if it still further weabens
the party in the manufacturing cities.
The falling of in the governments
revenue from the liquor tax during The
last few years has given wide circulation
to two sets of illusory statistics. The
one has seemed to demonstrate great
increase of abstinence during the bust
ness depression. and the other to demon
state that a tax of Sl1O a gallon on
whisky produces less revenue than a
tax of ninety cents gallon. Mr.. Fred
ercli Perry Powers of Washington has
performed an important public service
in showing the real significance of the
figures on which these conclusions have
been based. The Wilson law, which
was enacted the year after the depression
began, did something more than raise
the tax on whisky from ninety cents a
gallon to Sl10; it extended the period
during which the government would
store whisky untaXed from three years
to eight years. During the months Just
previous to the increase in the tax. the
warehouses vast quantities of whisky in
order to make a profit of twenty cents
a gallon from the advance in price GER
tain to result from the change in the tax
. rates. + OF -cNcIdl llOulll> dllci Tue
higher rate went in force hardly any
whisky was taken out of bond. Since
that time whisky has been taken out
and taxed only as it has been needed
for immediate consumption. But the
distillers have gone on making as much
/ liquor as ever and storing it in the
bonded warehouses to age" at the
governments expense. On the first of
July last year, there were already DO
O00.0 600 gallons in the warehouses which
had been stored for over three years.
and which under the old law would now
have to be taxed and stored at the dis
tillers' cost. In this way the govern
ment again loses its normal revenue.
There is danger, as Mr.. Powers points
out, that the whisky trust, having Sc.
cured all possible profit out of the in
crease of the tax, will soon secure a
lowering of the rate. on the ground
that lower rate would yield a larger
revenue. A. matter of fact, were it
not for the uniusttiable extension of
the bonded period from three years tc
eight. the Sl,l0 rate would already be
yielding a larger revenue than the ninety
cent rate.

White Glover For Pasture.

II is che of the advantages Of rough,
rocky land that, Us it cannot often be
cultivated or ever very thoroughly, the
surface soil is pretty sure to be filed
with white clover seed 1t is said to be
natural to such land, which means that
it has SO long occupied the soil that
there is plenty Of seed to grow when
ever it has fair chance. 1T Is an excel
lent pasture grass, as its roots run near
the surface and quickly respond even to
light rains, which viii not revive other
grasses. 1t is greatly helped by dress
ing of gypsum. On long cultivated
ground, especially where no clover has
been thickly seeded, there will be little
white clover visible, but even there it
is often ready when it gets the chance.
If the first clover crop is alsike, which
does not sprout after its first cutting, a
vigorous growth of aftermath clover
will often be found, though before the
alsike was cut the white clover was too
small except for eyes that were sharply
looking for il to see it.-American Gull

FODDER AND FORAGE.
Seeding Grass In Fodder Corn According
TO 3 Vermont Practice.

The winter of 1861 was a severe
one for meadows, and especially the
newly seeded fields. The ground was
frozen deeply and some Of the time bare
and partly suvered with ice. The young
clover is largely killed, while on older
meadows tho grass is more or less in
jured. Some of the fields will have to
be plowed aud either sown with grain
or planted with fodder corn. In this
connection Vermont correspondent of
The New England Homestead writes:
Instead of planting the land to corn
this year and seeding to grass, along
with a grain crop next spring, it might
be better to try the following plan,
which is being successfully followed in
many cases Plant to fodder corn in the
usual way and just before the last cul-
tivation sow on the grass seed OF course
the land should be properly fertilized
either with manure or phosphate and
level cultivation practiced. All of this
work can be very well done with the
implement known as the weeder. By
using this thoroughly the soil can be
made clean and mellow Sow the gra's
seed previous to using this implement

care to cut as low as possible, SO that

where a portion was seeded to grass
with fodder corn the year before and the
remainder with oats. The part with the
corn is almost always decidedly ahead
of the other. as it does not winter kill.
Where the cats were sown the seeding
is poor and uneven Why there should
be such a difference it might be diff
cult to determine, but such are the facts
in the case.
