Declares That Section 22 of the Tassa
Law Does Not Discriminate.
Washington. Sept. 22.-Attorney Cen
eral McKenna has announced his opIn-
lon In the matter Of section % Of the
new tarin law. He holds in effect that
goods coming directly into the United
States from foreign countries through
Canadian ports are not subject TO the
discriminating duty of 10 per cent He
also holds that foreign goods shipped
from countries other than British pos
sessions in British vessels are not sub
ieot TO the discriminating duty.
Two questions were asked Attorney
General McKenna, the first of which
was in effect whether the discriminat-
ing duty Of 10 per cent provided for In
section % should be assessed against an
invoice Of tea from China which had
arrived at Vancouver, B. c.. In British
vessels and thence shipped through
Canada TO Chicago. The second ques-
ton was whether the discriminating du-
~ should be assessed against a cargo OF
manganese ore from Chile which re-
Gently arrived IN a British ship at Phil
adeiphia. Both these questions the at
torney general answers in the negative

PROTECTING AGAINST EARLY FRosrs.

PROTECTING AGAINST EARLY FROsTs.
In spite of the fact that the season
was exceptionally late last spring,
and logically, the beginning of win
ter ought also to be delayed, frost
may come early, and if it does the
damage will be greater than usual,
because the cool weather has pre-
vented the rapid maturity of crops.
There may be garden vegetables or
some valuable seed crops that can
profitably be protected even at quite
a little expense and trouble.
The smoke smudge or blanket is
possibly the most effective and the
cheapest. Any material that will
be burned slowly and give off a good
smoke can be used. When frost
is suspected, place thermometers in
several parts of the field or garden
and watch them closely. Arrange
piles of the combustible material
around the edges at intervals of tive
rods. Torches made by dipping
wads of tow into pine tar, old cam
paign torches, or anything of the
kind, will be found vJry effective.
Light those on the windward side,
and if the breeze is not to brisk the
smoke will settle over the field and
prevent frost injury, even though
the temperature goes several de-
grees bellows freezing point. Straw,
damaged hay, cobs, bark, drift,
brush, old berry canes, dry weeds,
can be disposed of in this way, and
thus answer useful purpose.
Spraying the crops heavily with
water serves as a frost preventive
and where it can be done econom-
ically it should be tried.
While these measures are effec-
tive to a certain extent, care should
always be taken when planting
either in fall or spring to put those
crops easily injured by frost on
high ground, or at least on land
where there is good air drain
age. The cold layers of the atmos-
phere being heaviest settle to the
lowest places, just as water from
heavy rains runs into sloughs,
creeks and rivers, hence these por-
lions of the surface are coldest, and
are frosted first. If the surface of
the farm is such that there is a good
circulation of air, the danger is re-
duced to the minimum. Conse-
quently do not plant tall crops like
corn or orchards across the mouths
of gorges or deep valleys. The air
is governed by the same laws as
water, and will ran out of the de.
pressions if it has a chance. II is
best to plant tender fruits and
vegetables on the upper portion of
hillsides, where there is little
probability of the air remaining
stationary for any considerable
length of time. Remember this the
coming autumn when setting straw
berry fields and planting orchards,
and do not forget it next spring
when doing the same kind of work.

MAPLE SUGAR DROPS,
CARE AND USE OF FRUITS.
SOLUTION OF MANY KNOTTY PROBLEMS

In the tenth lecture OF Miss Parioas course, de-
livered yesterday at the Young Womens Christian

they give the best results for cooking purposes.
and the solution of many knotty problems adj
vanced by distraught housewives, furnished tho
chateaine with abundant food for reflection.
While the nutritive value OF fresh fruits. except
Ing always nuts. is not very great. according to
Miss Parloa, they are. nevertheless, valuable for
their flavor their stimulus to the appetite and tho
changes they permit IN the bill Of fare. Dried
fruits are much more nutritious than fresh.
All fruits best when allowed TO rlpen on the
tree vine. excepting pears. Fruit should be kept
in a cool. dry place and examined often. decay
is rapidly communicated Fresh fruits differ In
their effect on the digestive organs. Apples pears
pums and grapes laxative to most people,
while peaches and strawberries have opposite
effect. These properties modified by cooking
so that unless fruit is neither urderrpe nor over
ripe II IL moro wholesome cooked.
Some fruits require very little sugar In cooking
while others very poor unless great deal OF
sugar is used Nearly all fruits better In color
texture and flavor II sugar is added when first put
on to cook. In the French and German Methods
parent fruits OF commerce. a very rich syrup Is
made and poured over the fruit This Is allowed
to stand several hours; IT Is then poured or
repeated I'm some fruits for several days In this
way they simply absorb the heat and are cooked.
Hard fruits, like ounces should be cooked ten
der In clear water before the sugar Is added
Fruits that require long slow cooking DO not re-
quire much sugnr as those cooked quickly
Dried fruits. such as npricots prunes. peaches and
