one of the best additions to our

before writing these notes a case
came under our notice where two
neighbors both kept fowls and both
had the same number, variety and

warm potatoes mixed with their

our custom to use potatoes in some
form or another, and we look upon
them as both good and cheap, One
plan we often adopt III the Winter
time is to instruct the poultry lad
to place II b"ilerful on the kitchen
range every evening after tea; these
cook during the evening, and by the
time the fire goes down are done,
and the little heat left and their
own steam keep them warm, and
thus they are ready for mixing with
the meal in the morning earlier
than they would be it not prepared
over night. At other times, when
not feeding p"tatoes as above, we
have boilerful served round whole

they are much relished.-Poultry

The farmer who simply "winters' .
his stock until Spring loses valu-
able time, unless his object is to
gain in weight of product. Many
farmers are satisfied to have the
stock come out III the Spring in as
good condition as the animals were
in the Fall, but something more
should be expected than for the
stock to "keep" over Winter. Every
animal that does not make a gain
causes a loss, as labor is required,
and the most profitable plan is to
feed literally and endeavor to gain
as much as possible.

There may be disadvantages in
Fall blowing, as it is believed by
some that the blowing of the land
in the Fall permits of the loss OF
soluble plant food in Winter by
teaching, but when the land is plow-
ed late in the year and then cross
plowed early in the Spring there is
brought to the surface the larvae of
insects, which perish ON exposure
to cold at the surface. To prevent
teaching of the soil after blowing
the work should be done early in
the Fall and the land seeded to rye.

down tight and nail fast Separate
your bins from each other, then

when you are ready to sack up just
open the slide and let the wheat
come down through the funnel of
sack which has both ends open.
When the sack is full shut off the
grain, using lever for the purpose.
1t is easy and cheaply made; or you
can have a wooden spout to use in
stead of a sack, which would be best,

Liquid NJ aUUre.

Where one is so situated that it
is not feasible to buy concentrated
fertilizers there is nothing better
than liquid manure to take its place,
and in many respects the liquid
manure is better than any other
form of plant food. Ii the weather
is dry commercial fertilizers do not
act at once, while a plant which is
given liquid manure gets immediate
benefit from the moisture and the
plant food both.
The writer has been feeding some
melon and cucumber vines, nitrate
of soda, and a part of these have
been given liquid manure, and the
latter are making much the best
growth.
Cabbages, cauliflower, tomatoes
and vines of all kinds show imme-
diate effects from liquid manure.
Their vigor is increased and their
fruitfulness greatly improved.
Any farm produces the material
for liquid manure. Take any old
barrel aud fill it with fresh horse
manure, packed down solid. Both
heads should be- taken ont of the
barrel and it should I've set on a
sloping platform. Then pour in
water until it begins to leach out t
the bottom, where it may be caught
in trough or bucket and put
around the plants. Half pint OF
this liquid to plant twice week
will furnish enough plant food tn
push it into fine growth and keep
it in full vigor even in quite dry
weather. Plants that are being fed
in this way should have the soil
about them stirred very often in
order to prevent the formation of a
crust and the evaporation of the
moisture in the soil.
TO make a manure leach is the
work of an hour, and time can not

Amending the Tariff for Cuba, Porto
Rico and Philippines

By direction of the President several i'm
portant changes have been made by the
War Department in the customs tariff in
| force in Cuba Porto Rico and the Philip
pine Islands. BY an order issued Novem-
Der q. 1899, to take effect January l. 1900
tariff circular No. IS, dated May II, 1889,
and by which paragraph 2, page T. of the
Amended customs tariff and regulations
| for ports In Porto Rico was temporarily
amended so as to permit all vessels, wheth-
| er foreign or American, to load and clear
| for the United States is rescinded
As the order now reads, only American
| vessels are permitted to load and clear from
the ports of Porto Rico.
BY an order issued December /, 1899, lith-
ographs, posters, calendars and folders for
advertising purposes only, having no COM
merclal value and designed for free public
distribution, are permitted to enter the sew
eral ports of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands free of duty.
On the same date 1t was further directed
mat an amendment be made to the Philip
pine tariff whereby unbound books and
other printed matter in languages other
than Spanish are made dutiable at CEN
tayos per klogram, the same rate as
bound books. This change was made be-
cause the matter above mentioned had not
been specifically provided for in the original
regula tons.
On the day following it was ordered that
the free list, page 10, of the amended Gus
toms tariff regulations, which applies to
ports in Porto Rico and Cuba, be amended
SO that there shall be admitted free Of
duty modern school furniture of kinds or
styles not manufactured in said lands.
which has been purchased by the properly
constituted authorities of public or private
educational institutions in quantities not
exceeding the absolute requirements for the
accommodation of such schools; conclu-
sive evidence being furnished to the Gus
toms officers that such purchases were
made prior to the importatio of the arti-
cles entered, together with the certificate
of the superintendent or principal of the
school that the same is to be used eXciu-
sively for such institution.
On December 3, present month, the Presi-
dent ordered that the Amended customs
tariff and regulations for ports in Porto
Rico be amended by an increase of 80 per
cent in the duties imposed in paragraphs
| numbered ga, 10, IL, y, p to y, both in
elusive, 81. 100. 145. 146 $50 to ia. both in
elusive, PIG, pit. DDS, 229 232 to 23s both
! inclusive, go, 30 and 31I TO 341, both in
elusive.
This amendment follows the one which
placed certain necessary articles of con-
sumption on the free list, and is designed
to compensate the insular revenues for the
loss of duty thus occasioned.
