be almost entirely in the customs. This.
I think, should yield a minimum, under
the present tariff, of S16,OO0.OOO per an
mum. Cuba is not, and in the nature
of the case. cannot become much of a
manufacturing country. Her supplies
must be imported in exchange for her
agricultural products-sugar, tobacco,
lumber, fruits and vegetables. Her pros
perity is measured by the amount of
these productions, combined with a ia
vorable market for them.
Her products can hardly be less or
her market less favorable than during
the last three years. Therefore, the i'm
ported articles for which she has ex-
changed her agricultural products can
hardly be less in quantity than they
have been during that same period.
with improved industrial conditions
in Cuba, there will be an increase in
importations, and therefore in the reve-
nue. from customs. With better mar
ket for Cuban products, 1 think it not
unreasonable to expect that the present
tariff will yield $4,000. 900 or 500. 00O, 900.
This result might be affected by an
increase in the present rates of duties.
but I think that would be an unneces-
sary hardship on the consumers in Cuba.
LAS is we'll known, the administration
of the custom houses has, from almost
the beginning, been practically in the
hands of Cubans. I believe that is true

Red Dog or Port Wine.
Ask.
mo" they answer, the miners of the
one-time. 1--WE never knew Bret Harte.
Don't believe he ever game here"
And yet these are the men of whom he
wrote.
Ask the white-haired populace of San
Francisco. They are all ready enough to
remember him, but pin them down to facts
and they will tell you that "Harte al
ways kept a good deal to himself"
Harte did. He never liked people. He
was never the good fellow. The men who
worked beside him in the same office, who
lived beside him on the same street, never
knew him.
BEHIND A WALL.
Bret Harte put a wall around himself
and drew himself within it, and stayed
there to his diving day.
Was he happy?
Nobody knows-we can only guess. Few
lonely men are happy.
Perhaps he wanted to break down the
wall. But he never will be given credit for
wanting to- Instead, he will go down in
history recorded by the generous as cold
man, recorded by the less kindly a snob.
If he was a snob he was an intellectual
one. Money and what it buys were never a
source of vanity with him. In fact. he
never was known to have any of either.
Bret Harte's life in San Francisco was a
hard-luck story. Not that he didn't make
money. He did. There was time when he
was drawing three comfortable salaries at
once: One hundred and fifty dollars from
The Mint. an average of twice as much
from The Overland Monthly, and a good
round sum from old Trinity Church on the

The interest felt in the establishment Of
the proposed forest reserve in the APP
palachian mountains was manifest yes
terday when Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, spoke for an hour to a large
audience of senators in advocacy of the
enactment of the necessary legislation.
Mr. Simmons explained the bill which
is before the senate and which has been
unanimously reported. showing that 1t
was proposed to set apart four million
acres of land in the higher ranges of the
Appalachian range, running through the
states of West Virginia, Virginia, North
Carolina South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Georgia. He then devoted
some time to meeting the only substan-
tive ground Of objection to the bill, viz,
that ii committed the government to a
new policy and to a large expenditure of
money. He pointed out that the only
difference between the proposed plan and
the forest reservations of the west was
in the fact that the latter were largely
composed of land already owned by the
government, and he held that this was
really a distinction without a difference.
IT think therefore" said Mr.. Simmons,
as he concluded this part of HIS argu-
ment. that it may safely be said that
this bill proposes nothing new and Is in
line with the well-established policy OF

the government"
Mr.. Simmons dwelt at length upon the
work which foreign governments are do
ing in connection with the preservation
of forests and said that in this country
the enactment of the proposed bill would
save annually millions of dollars to agri-
culture, commerce and manufacturing,
while the careful cutting of ripe timber
would prove a source of revenue. He
contended that the bill was not a local
measure, and quoted expressions of In
dorsement from all sections and from
many prominent associations, including
the National Hardwood Lumber Associa-
ton, the American Forest Association.
etc.
The proposed forest reserve, Mr.. Sim
mons also showed, Is asked by scores of
the leading newspapers in the country
without regard to section. Mr.. Simmons
then presented the great public interests
that will be subserved by the proposed
legislation, showing that the protection
of forests from destruction would mean
an abundant supply Of timber and fuel.
as well as preventing the erosion of the
land and the irregularity of the water
supply. Mr.. Simmons called especial at
tention TO the fact that the navigability
of Cape Fear river had been completely
destroyed because of the deforestation
along it's water shed.

The value OF salt for sheep is shown by
an experiment in France. where three lots
Of animals, fed alike on hay, straw, po-
tatoes and beans for 124 days. one lot had
no salt, one had half an ounce of salt
each day, and the other had three-fourths
OF an ounce. Those that had half an
ounce gained four and a half pounds each
more than those which had no salt and
one and one-quarter pounds more than
those which had more than a half ounce.
So It seems that too much salt can be
given, as well as too little. The salted
sheep clipped one and three-auarters
pounds more OF wool and a better fleece
than those that had no salt, showing bet
ter results IN the wool-that is, larger pro-
fit than In the flesh.

PasturIng rape has its dangers. Some
times securing is induced more especially
when lambs are first put upon IL. Access

uasture have been found helpful as pre-
venfives. Tagging should receive atten-
ton before the sheep or lambs are put up

eat freely OF rape. especially OF the leaves
OF plants that are immature. there is
some danger that bowel disorders will be
induced which may cause death. When
the sheep have been removed the pre-
vi0us evening and get a moderate feed OF
oats in the morning before they return
the danger Is TO some extent lessened.
II IS at least questionable IL there Is any
profit in pasturing rape after the stalks

Goats for Profit.

Goats are first class for cleaning up pas
lures. weedy fields, etc. In this respect
they are better than sheep. Certain kinds
of goats can hardly be confined as they
son learn to climb over almost any kind
of ran or board fence. The modern wire
fence. however, win keep them in, one
3 1-2 feet high being sufficient. If you are
going into the goat business why not
try the angora. This goat is much easier
handled than the common goat. can be
kept in by means Of an ordinary fence,
has a splendid fleece of mohair which sells
readily on the market The flesh is also
considered quite palatable.

frozen, and they should never be put up
on IL when hungry. 1t may not be known
10 all that when sheep or lambs are az
fected with bloating. II they are slaugh-
tered in the early stages OF the trouble,
the meat Is considered perfectly good.
The same IS true OF ailments caused by
eating OF frozen rape. BY giving prompt
attention I'm such instances nearly the fun
value Of the lambs so affected may be re-
allied There Is less liability to loss from
these ailments when the rape Is well ma
tured. and these losses seem TO vary much
with the seasons. Some authorities ad-
vocate hurdlfng sheep while on the rape.
They argue that when Ii is fed of in this
way the ground viii be more evenly ma
nured. While this is true the practice
has some Disadvantages. The sheep have
less OF liberty. an important element In
their well-being, their wool gets more soil
ed and they are prevented from eating
any grass. which is generally believed to
be helpful in regulating the health Of
sheep feeding upon rape. The expense of
providing hurdles and the labor Of plac-
ing them are to aa-eonsidered. 1t Is inter-
esting 20 note the manner in which the
ssssep feed upon the rape. When IL is
grown in drills they walk along the line
OF the drills much OF the time. and so do
not injured the rape by tramping. When it
grows very rank they do not go far into
IT, but eat IL of nearly to the ground as
they go. The waste from pasturing with
sheep is very little indeed. Late rape is
probably not a very profitable crop. In
time Of cold rains and sleet the sheep are
safer housed. After the rape has been
frozen so as TO become brittle, when IT
thaws out again its value as a food is
probably lessened, even though the wealth
er should turn warm again, as freezing
10 the extent indicated seems to leave II
in a semi-wilted condition. From our ex-
perience in pasturing IL at such a time
we conclude that IL would be more profita-
bic to have the rape eaten of by the time
the period of hard freezing arrives.
