AN NEGOTIABLE SYSTEM.
somo Weak Points of the Repubii
"Reciprocity" Idea.


The word reciprocity has taxing
sound about it, and it is very pleasant
10 know that one person rociprocates
another persons affection. or that one
nation reciprocates another nations
good will. The general idea of rcciproc-
ity in business or in commerce partakes
also of the same scntment-that il Is
pleasant and equitable that nations
should interchange commodities on
reciprocal plan.
The ways and means committee OF
the house OF representatives is en-
gagged in the task of compiling tariff
bin TO secure a bigger revenue TO the
treasury, which is TO be discussed dur
ing the extra session Of the Fifty-fifth
congress that will be convoked soon af-
ter the installation Of the president
elect. And we are now assured on unim-
peachable authority that reciprocity"
is to be one Of the leading features Of
the new measure. Now. while reciproc-
ty is very pretty arrangement in the
abstract, as well as in any individual
case, it often happens that it is an
utterly inequitable system OF doing
business.
1t looks well. for example. 10 say
that the United States government ex-
! poets to have reciprocity with Ger
many: If she admit free of duty our
PORK, canned meats, etc. which she has
lecn treating quite scurvily. we shall
admit her wine and sugar free of duty.
The arrangement may be completely
satisfactory and equitable in SO far as
Germany may be regarded as one in
diyidual national entity, and the United
States another individual rational en-
| tity. But if we look at the matter a
little more closely, the equitable look
OF this much-lauded reciprocity Will
take on quite different appearance.
The arrangement that &c. many snail
admit American pork. canned meats
etc, free of duty within her borders Is
very delightful arrangement for the
millionaire pig-stickers and packers OF
Chicago. 1t will give an enormous ElliT
to their business. and will help multi
ply rapidly the millions they have al
ready. But in order that this rcciproc
ity should lie strictly equitable. thu
pig-stickeTs and packers of Chicago
should give up some advantage whicl
they already possess in return for tn
big additional advantage which the,
foresne coming to them. No other kin'
or class of industry in the Jnite'
States should be punished. or he mad
to pay. for the benefit which the r.
cprociiy viii confer on the hog-killer
Of the west.
But the popularity Of the proposs'
reciprocity is that the hog-killers are T
get the benefit of il, and that the wine
growers and sugar-growcrs arc to b
made to pay for that benefit. And
viii be admitted that reciprocity o
that sort is not equitable. Hawaii

THE FARMING WORLD.
GRATING WILD FRUITS.
a Fine Ficii for the Exercise of lIorticul-
turat SAIL.


Persons living in sections where wild
iruit trees and vines yet continue to
grow, undisturbed. IN native vigor. can
find exercise for their horticultural
skill and love of experiment. In graft
ing these wild stocks with improved
native ard foreign varieties. Several
years ago my attention was attracted
TO this subject by an article which APP
peared in the report OF our State Horti-
cultural society. from a correspondent
in Illinois, who said: "A farmer living
near here, having n woods pasture part
" covered with wild crab and red haw
trees. some Is or 20 years ago. grated
the crab to apple, and the red haw TO
pear. He grated those limbs beyond
the reach Of animals grazing in the
pasture, and now he has apples and
pears in abundance every fruit year"
During the past year the writer made
number of experiments in grating
the wild fruits in this locality; begun
grating the haw 10 the pear during
pleasant days in February, aud con-
tinued after intervals till the 10th OK
April. Those CRAFTS set during Febru-
nry did much better than those Of later
dates. Scons were taken from Bartlett,
Idaho, Duchess and kieffer trees "A
much larger per cent of the kieifer
I CRAFTS grew than those of other varie-
ties, and the growth was more vigorous.
We also set gratis of the pear into the
white thorn; but failed to get any to
live. In grating the haw, il is best
TO select young. vigorous trees, and To-
cate the gratis well in the top of the
tree, so they will get the sunlight and
have room To develop. In the early days
OF March we grated some wild plum
trees with the japanese varieties Album
dance and Burbank. The growth made
by these scions was very vigorous, ant
they are now full of fruit buds.
In grating, use an abundance o
grating wax. and cover with cottol
cloth boiled in oil or wax. Aside from
the curiosities which can be produces
on lawns or in waste places, by trans
forming these wild stocks, by grating
10 improved yarie ties, some persons ma
be SO situated as to make il source
considerable profits. ii. Van TRUMP

published in 1874, embracing both the
so-called Castle Martin cattle of South
Wales and the Anglesea of North Wales.
The former are coarse boned, with HAT

good mixers. The Anglesea cattle, or
'runts," as they are called, have been
so greatly improved that they are now
recognized as u distinct breed with

volume was published in 1883. The I'M

The success of terminating nuts In
the spring depends upon the condition
of ripeness and the method of keeping
them during the winter. Nuts should
not allowed to become too dry before
burying in sand. When gathered too
early the kernels shrivel up and have
but little terminating power. hence
they should not be gathered until the
kernel is full and plump. II there -

GOOD BUTTER SALT.
pairymen should Exercise Great Cnre
Its Selection.

Dairvmen should Exercise Great Cnre In
Its selection.
Hunter Nicholson says in the Jersey
Bulletin that there is almost as much
difference in the quality of salt as III
the quality of butter. Good butter salt
is fine-grained, bright-colored, clean.
pure and free of foreign odors. II
must be fine-grained in order to mix
readily and dissolve regularly and
quickly through the butter; bright
colored, showing that it is well crystai-
lied; clean. that is. free from foreign
substances: and free from bad Gmells.
which salt is very ready to abs rb. Salt,
like everything else sold. is likely TO
be adulterated. Baryta is most COM
monty used. A simple and trustworthy
test OF salt may be made by dissolving
a small quantity in clear, hot water.
This will bring out any bad flavor and
disclose the presence of any foreign
substance. Pure salt will make a clear
brine and deposit no sediment. IL
the brine smells, is cloudy or colored.
or leaves a sediment, do not use the
salt for butter. There are "A number of
excellent brands of salt, prepared *
pressly for the dairy. II you can find
out where they are sold, get lot; be
careful, however, not to keep it near
any il-odorcd substance, as it absorbs
doors very readily, and. once absorbed,
the salt is ruined beyond remedy. Be-
sides the American salts, there are one
or more foreign brands ofexcellent rep
utotion.

IL the calf is not good one it would
be better to knock it in the head and
feed to the chickens, rather than raise
ii for the dairy. 1t does not cost
Eve cents more TO raise good
talf than it does a poor one. and
the COW that will make 800 pounds Of
butter a year has eaten no more up TO
the time she drops her calf than the
one that will make only $50. There is
not fortune in the dairy business in
any event, but il we raise calves from
poor cows from which to make up our

THE HEARINGS ON THE TARIFF.
Developments Which Arc Not Pleasing to
the Republicans.

There is manifest dissatisfaction in
republican circles over the develop
ments in the tariff hearings in Wash
inpton. 1t is clear that the witnesses
who were heard were not swayed by
the slightest interest in the general wei
fare, but by consuming desire'n each
case to see that mo. /" is not
neglected The New York Morning Adj
vertiser says that "thc only persons
who can read the testimony given so
far with any great degree OF satisfac-
ton are the saturnine free traders, who
hold as a matter of faith that Il pro-
toctivc tariff is simply an aggregated
jobbery Of all the sclf-seeking indi,idu-
ais of a country who can get the ear OF
the governments With scarcely an ex-
ception, every witness heard during the
first two sessions has frankly admitted
that he wants the present tariff raised
merely to increase his own profits in
business, without the slightest concern
whether such change would increase
or diminish the revenues of the govern
ment."
1t may be said that when protection
organs find fault with the tariff goings-
on at Washington, the public is justi-
fed in protesting against the proceed
ings. Everybody knows. of course, that
very handsome sums were paid for pro-
lection, and everybody expected that a
good deal of it would be demanded in
return for the cash that was generous
ly paid in advance. but the programme
of the tariff hearings is none the less
objectionable to o patient and long
suffering people. Commenting on the
spectacle that is now presented at the
federal capital, the Morning Advertiser
Gays: This truly is not an exhibition
OF very exalted form of patriotism
nor one that advocates of a reasonable
degree of protection TO American labor
can view with pride or pleasure. 1t Is
not likely that the country will vic,s
any legislation shaped to reflect It with
other feelings than those of resent

WHO CAUSED THE DEFICIT?
Started by tho Republicans and the Nc
Kinlcy BILL

kinlcy BILL
1t is much more important to find
a remedy for the national deficiency
in revenue than to fix the responsibility
for it. And yet Senator Sheripan's
charge that IL is due to the Wilson bill
ought not to pass unchallenged.
Senator Sherman's memory may not
be 10 good as it. once was. but he can
easily verify the fact that there WINS q
deficiency in the last three months OF
the Harrison administration: that in
his last annual report December, 1922
Secretary Foster suggested an increased
tax on whisky TO meet the impending
deficit, and that one Of his last official
acts february 90. 1899 was to send
letter to the chief Of the bureau Of en-
craving and printing directing that inn
mediate preparations be made for n
bond issue, and that Tin view of press
ing contingencies" the preparation OF
the designs and plates be FASTENED IN
every possible manner"
II is likewise fact of record that
during the fiscal year OF 1894. under
the Mckinley law, the expenditures ex-
cecdcd the revenues to the amount OF
$50. sO3. ECO. This is more than the
deficiency in any year under the VII
son bill. II was s42, 600 in 1895 and
s25. 203 900 in 1896.
The deficiency was started by the re-
publicans when they cut down the reve-
uncs over s0O,00o,0oo in the Mckinley
bill and increased the appropriations
more than that in the first billion-dol'
lar congress. Since then it has been
continued by the extravaganza OF both
