DEATH OF FREE TRADE.
Representative Canadian Ncwspa-
pers and Citizens Declare in
Favor of Protection.

Naturally Canada, which is pro-
lection country, is deeply Interested
in the economic discussion now going
on in Great Britain, and directly con-
cerned as to the ultimate result. 1t
is worthy of mention that Representa-
tive Canadian newspapers and promi-
nent citizens of the Dominion very
heartily agree with Mr.. Chamberlain
and other British statesmen in the
stand they have taken in favor of pro-
tective action. Canada knows how it is
herself, for she has prospered under
protection and sees that Great Britain
, has reached a point where free trade
leaves the nation industrially helpless
before it's commercial enemies, says
! the Troy Times.
The Montreal Star publishes some
interviews which indicate the feeling
in the Dominion. Under the heading
''The Free Trade Fetish Is Dead it
says:
'Dr. A. Lapthorn Smith, who has just re-
| turned from attending the international
medical congress at Madrid, spent besides
ten days in England, during which time
he was forced to the conclusion that Mr..
Chamberlain was probably following, as
| Wi as leading, public opinion in his re-
cent speech, as it was evident to anyone
that there were many millions of people
In England who had ceased to believe in
the free trade fetish. DR.. Smiths own
observations bear out this opinion AL
ready the whole of the agricultural classes
were in favor of preferential tax on for
eign products, he says, and many working
men are beginning to see that English
manufacturers could not much longer
stand the inroads of their rivals. In going
! about London he saw hundreds OF beautiful
shops filled with American shoes, and it
was quite difficult, indeed, to find one
where English shoes We're sold.
The British farmer is having a very
hard time of it, what with the competition
of foreign food and the frosts which for
the last few Years have been running his
small fruit crops, one OF the few things he
had left to depend upon. This year was es-
pecially severe in that respect. Many We're
disappointed at the removal of the small
tax on foreign wheat, which had no effect
whatever in raising the price of bread the
quartern, or two-pound loaf being sold for
tWo-pence half-penny, the same as it had
been for many Years past"
The Star also quotes Hon. Alfred b
Morine, a political leader in Newfound-
land, who has just returned from a
visit to England, as saying that "a
sentiment bordering on protection has
taken firm hold upon a section of the
British people" Newfoundland is not
included in the Canadian Dominion
but the interests of that island are so
closely allied with those of the main
land that it is in close sympathy With
the economic views of its neighbors.
All these British possessions are loyal
to the home government. but they
realize the value of protection for
themselves and others, and they well
! come the indications which show that
the people of England are coming to
! their way of thinking.

GOOD SPRAYING PAYS.
Everything Depends on the Thorough
and Equal Distribution of the
Poisonous Mixture

Prof. +. NJ. Webster says: eve have
somehow got the idea that anybody
can spray. and we send the hired men
out to do this work and flatter our
selves that we have done all that can
be done. We have sprayed. 1t is sim
ply amazing to see the inefficient
spraying that is done every year, not
always by the hired men, but often
by those who have not only the best
of intentions, but are thoroughly hon
est and earnest, aud | may add, fully
believe that they have done the best
that can be done. Now, do not do
your spraying yourself, and do not
send inexperienced men to do it. but
go yourself and take your men with
you. Do not take two men to hold the
nozzles and you do the pumping. or
you hold a nozzle and let one of them
pump. Have man to drive and
pump, and a man for each line of
hose, and you yourself get right down
among the men at the nozzles. Watch
every movement, and see that not a
limb or twig fails o be reached by the
spray. No man can do this as YOU
can. and YOU cannot if you are to
handle line of hose. You must see
and direct the work, which is all that
one ought to do. and if done right
this will prove the most important
and profitable part You can save
material by looking to it that the
spray is evenly and Thoroughly dis
triSuted. and not part of the tree
drenched and the other part I'M
touched, Trees should never drip, or
the mixture run down the trunk and
collect in puddles about the base. The
result will depend less on the amount

trees. In May a fresh crop of spores
may be produced from the mummies,
and from the canller on the branches.
1t seems probable the first infection
of the season comes from the cankers,
and it can be traced where it has
spread to the young apples lying below
them on the trees. where the spores
have been carried by the rain.
Where diseased apples are found on
the trees early in the season it will
probably be found that just above
them is a mummy or a canler-spot. 1t
is important to remove the canker and
the infected fruits. as a very small
cankered spot may prove a source of
infection for large area.
The best treatment for this disease
is probably to spray the trees. includ-
ing especially the mummies and can

solution. The disease can be kept in
check during the summer by repeated
applications of Bordeaux miNture.-

BITTER-RoT OF APPLES.
A Destructive Orchard Disease Which
Has Caused Considerable Loss
of LDte Years.

This is the most destructive disease
to apples in southern Illinois and Mis-
of country 1t was most destructive
in 1900. 1t is most abundant in warm,
moist weather, when its ravages be-
come most evident.
This is disease which is especially
injurious to apples in the autumn, and
may attack them before or after
being picked. Its characteristic APP

A CASE OF SUSPICION.


At the age of p I was clerking for
dry goods merchant in small town in
Ohio and stood as high in the commu-
nifty as any other young man there
There was only one incident in the year
past to regret. A young man named
Albert White and I had been rivals for
the affections of a girl named Ida Wal
tiers. and on several occasions had had
hot words but when [ withdrew from
the race we became friends again At
least, there was no enmity between us.
One night in midWinters when 1 had
returned to the store to post up the
books, White raped at the back door
and I let him in. He had seen my light
friendly spirit. The door sagged 8. little,
and when White opened it there was re-
sistance and his nose got a bump. It
was bleeding as he entered. but I got a
handful of snow and assisted him to
check the flow.
Before noon next day it was known
all over town that Albert White was
missing. Before night men were looking
for him in every direction. A citizen
had remembered seeing him at the store
door and, of course, I was questioned.
I told of his visit, but did not mention
the trifiing accident at the door. They
asked no questions to bring it out. That
night L was arrested on a warrant sworn
out by his mother as the murderer of
Albert White, and circumstantia1 evil
