Permanent Fences.

Tho farmer should avoid buildinL
temporary fences, unless it is his in
tention to remove them occasionally
TO make way for his rotation OF crops.
Most farmers, however. do not do this:
but expect always to keep one fence in
place. One cause of loss on American
farms is the lack of permanency in the
fences. a man should build a fence
that will last o lifetime. says tho
Farmers Review. He should select
posts that will not decay and have
them so long that he can set them
deeply In the ground. In fact, they
should be set SO that neither the frosts
nor gales nor foods can shake them
1t takes n little longer TO build a
fence Of this kind, but In the years to
come the extra labor at the beginning
wlA be found TO be economy.

MOTHERS THE TRUSTS.
Protection on Sugar Allows Monopo-
lists to Charge Nearly
Double.

Sugar" has always been the great
obstacle to revising the tariff, and as
the head OF the sugar trust said, the
tarin Is the mother Of trusts, the frat
trust 20 receive attention should be the
sugar trust. OF course, 1t Is to the ad
vantage OF the sugar trust to buy raw
sugar In the cheapest market and pay
no duty on II, and then, after refining
1t, to sell 1t TO the American consumer
at the highest possible price, but Just
low enough for forsign-reGned sugar
not to be imported and compete with
the trust product, The protection on
refined sugar allows the trust to charge
nearly double what 1t is worth and this
is shown by the fact that refined sugar
in England sells for but little more
than half what It sells for In tho
United States. Thus the tariff allows
the trusts to tax us a great deal moro
than the tariff tax we pay on raw
sugar to the government. and the Re-
publican congress upnolds this plum
iering by refusing to revise the tariff.

MANNER OF BUILDING THE PILE.
charcoal dust or ordinary coal dust all
ovtr the pile and cover the entire heap
with soil. 1t will stand better II some
solid sods are placed on the outside.
Holes are made at the sides near the top
TO allow air TO enter to the fire.
Build n fire in the center OF the top
OF the heap and allow II to burn down
inside the pile, and as it descends make
another row of holes about half way
down the sides OF the pile. AS smoke
ceases TO come out Of these holes make
others below and stop those above.
With some woods considerable tar and
acid will be formed. which must be
drained OFF from the bottom Of the pile
by a ditch.
When smoke no longer comes out OF
the holes they are stopped and the whole
pile allowed to cool two or three days.
Then remove the soil and sort the
charcoal, putting any that is still hot
into water and quench IT, If thorough
ly burned and well managed cord Of
wood should give 80 bushels Of charcoal

THE BRICK TRUST NAILED.
Another Tariff Protected Combine
Has Been Brought to
Book.

The Chicago brick trust" has been
convicted In the Illinois state courts
Tor conspiracy to do an Illegal act, to
prevent competition and to restrict
the production aid sale of brick In the
Chicago market Seven officials OF tho
companies composing the trust were
hned $4,000 each and the fines we're
paid. AS common bric!; is taxed under
the tariff IS per cent ad valorem ana
fancy brick much higher, there is no
competition to prevent the trust from
charging oxorbltant profits. so the
trust has comparatively no competitors
since the brick companies formed the
combine. II bricks were admitted free
OF tariff tax. Canadian brick could come
by ship to Chicago and compete with
the trust. The tariff is the mother or
trusts and the Democratic policy of re-
ducing the tariff is the only plan TO
protect the people from trust extortion.
when a trust or combination has been
proven, the protection that the tariff
gives such trust should be abolished.
except a small per cent, enough TO run
the government.

OBJECT LESSON SHOWS.
Protected Products Sold Cheap os
Abroad Than in United
States.


At No. 1870 Broadway, New York
.ity, large placard covering the whole
ipper part Of the store window, told
me passing throng as follows:
GREAT PROTECTION SALE WAL
THAN AND ELGlN WATCHES bought
IN England CHEAPER THAN IN
AMERICA and Brought Back to I'M
5ersell This Market-CHARLE A.
KEENE."
Here was another proof OF the claim
long made by the Democrats that
American products are being scld
cheaper to foreigners than TO our own
people, under the plundering tariff hat
The Republicans have enacted to pro-
tect monopoly. The well.known and
entcrprising watch merchant, Charles
A. Keene, discovered how to beat the
watch combine by going to Europe and
buying American watches there. for
more than oDe-thrd less than he could
buy them o. the manufacturers here
Tor the same grade ard mark.
There 10 tariff tax OF 40 per cent
all valorem on watches, but American
made watches that have been exported
are readmitted free of duty, so all Mr..
keene had to pay was the freight and
come profit to the foreign watch mer-
Ghant who had originally bought them
here. The fact that he could sell these
watches that had been exported and
then reimported at one-third less than
other merchants were selling the same
brand OF watches for shows how much
less they were sold for export than Is
charged for them here. As there are
but few watches imported the tariff
tax was evidently imposed for the sole
benefit of the American manufacturers
who thus collect the tax by charging
tho American people more than they
do the foreigner.
Watches are only one of a long lis,
OF articles that are sold abroad cheap
er than In tAis country but the Repub-
licans who control congress refuse TO
even consider a revision OF the tlrIr
bill that allows such plunderlng OF our
own people. Before election some Re-
publican congressman talk OF revising
The tariff, but never vote 10 do II. and
the tariff will never be revised in the
interest OF the people until a Demo-
cratic majority is elected in b1th
houses OF congress and Democratic
president Is in the White House TO sign
the bill.

A Gallon of Cream

A gallon of cream, IL well SKINNED
either by hand or machine. should
produce from two and one-half to
three and one-half pounds of butter.
The cream that produces more than
this is too rich. and there is apt to be
considerable loss in handling It. If
less than three pounds butter is made
per gallon. you are handling too much
milk along with your cream, which
means extra labor.
