PLAYING WITH FIRE.
A Political Party Does That When Ii
Toys with Tariff Revision.


Tariff revision is all we'll when the
proper season arrives, but that season
is not here now. Unfortunate, but a
fact to be faced, is it that this country
has a certain humble of Missionaries
and doctrinaries nd in PROPOSE
tons for tariff "a pabulum for Il
mental voracity which nothing else can
satisfy. In season and out they come
forward with remedies for alleged
evils, local and sectional at the
worst, never general They are not all
Democrats. nor are they all Republic
ans. They belong, in fact, TO no party
consistently. They are free traders,
mouthpieces of heavy importers of for
eign goods. Their goods. made in
countries where. cheap labor is album
dant, could be, if admitted without
duty or at Il lessened rate, sold ut fig
ure forbidden absolutely by the higher
labor standard of wages and living
here to goods of the like class of Amer
lean production.
The American people have been. by
adherence to protection, enabled to
raise the standard of living above that
of the masses of other countries, and
by maintaining the protective policy
can keep the standard of living up to
its present level If not indeed raise it
higher. The intelligent tQilcrs of Amerl-
ca never look with favor on PROPOSE
tons for tariff tinkerlng The Demo
cratic Brooklyn Eagle shows that the
party playing with such a toy plays
with fire:
Tariff tinkcring has thus twice de-
feated RepubIcaliam once when
Blaine was nominated and once when
Harrison was not reelected. Tariff
tinkering in Cleveland's second term,
with the Democratic drift away from
Cleveland toward Bryan. again defeat
ed Democracy, and in Mr. Clevelands
first term his belated agitation for tar
if tinkering cost him his only defeat
The net conclusion is that to agitate
for tariff changes imperils party sue
cess, and to secure tariff changes 81
most certainly Overthrows the party in
pOHCi uuicSS liit UpllOSillOu goes Oh
into other follies of an even more dan
gerous sort or unless the country drifts
into war which subordinates all other
issues to that of arms"
The demands of importers of foreign
goods with no patriotism but their
pockets will never lead this Eution out
of the path OF duty to it's own bread
winners. To rob our own people of
their $30,0O0,00O,000 home market for
the benefit of foreign millions were an
act too foolish for contemplation. The
American people can be unhappily de-
luded into measures which for short
time drag them dcwn to n level of liv-
ing too low for people whose basic
institutions are the pleasant Preside,
the ballot box and the public school.
But if history bears WITH SIS to such a
contingency it also beps witness to
the fact ttat not f"relOnX are the
American people ever 90 dslnded. Men
who have once learned the lesson that

Field CuIlure as Practiced by Iowa
Farmer-I.and Very Rich.
The usual date for planting cucum-
bers in Iowa is June ] to II. The soil
must be thoroughly worked into a fine
loose loan, and very abundant sup
ply of fertilizer must be used. 1t is al
most impossible to have the land too
rich If the area planted is not so
large as to make 1t Impracticable it is
an excellent plan TO put one or two
shovelfuls Of rich farmyard manure in
each hill Mt the time Of planting The
seeds are planted in hills about six feet
apart each way. Plenty of seeds must
be used, for it is far better to thin out
the plants than to have a poor stand.
Cultivation.
Thy cultiyatIng may be done with
one horse and the small plow or with
the regular corn pillow As soon rs the
vines begin to run cultivation should

Strength of Plants.

Strength is not a thing usually con-
nected with maidenhair fern, yet If its
roots have not sufficient room they will
break the pot in which the plant grows.
Blades of grass will force the curb
stones between which they may spring
up out of their place, and in single
night a crop of small mushrooms have
lifted a large stone Indeed, plants
have been known to break the hardest
rocks. The island of Aldlbra, to the
northwest of Madagascar, is becoming
smaller and smaller through The action
OF the mangroves that grow along the
foot of the cliffs. They eat their way
into the rock in all directions, and into
the gaps thus formed the waves force
their way. In time they win probably

THE ONE GREAT QUESTION.

Wages of Labor.

on wages Of Labor
The great issues that arise in our ma

minor questions connected with the in
terests of organized labor. The one
great question, that of the protective
tariff, which is never settled and is al
ways present, includes in ii all other
questions relating to labor The great
Republican party stands for the pro-
tective tariff. It's policy has built up

Independent labor action in politics
could effect nothing in the way of

Diseases of Hogs.

Scaly diseases of hogs are produced
by excessive heat in the summer and
cold in the winter, says American Ag-
riculturist These are greatly bene-
fitted by providing sheds during the hot
weather and comfortable quarters
when it is cold. If the pig is fat give
it from one to two ounces of sulphate
of magnesia dissolved in one half pint
of water. Then give it one-half dram
of acetate of potash three times a day.
The diet during this time should be of
q cooling nature.

The Breeding Eve.

Whatever breed is chosen, it is i'm
portant that the eve be selected on
her merits. She should not be less
than two years old, so as to have plenty
of milk to bring the lambs along rap
idlv She should not, as rule, be
over six years old, and by all means
have a perfect mouth. She should be
short legged and large bodied. with a
clean face an, Il bright eye She
should have good sized udder and
sound teats. 1t is not the largest ewes
that always bring the best lambs j.

The Age TO wean pigs.

The pigs should remain with their
dam until eight weeks or two months
old before weaving. They will by this
time be able to eat enough to keep them
growing and thrifty and the sow bred
again for fall litter within week or
ten days after the pigs are weaned.
This keeps the old sows from getting
too fleshy, as they will often DO when
let run during the summer time on
good pasture. Young sows should be
left INBRED after this first litter to let
them grow and mature before farrow
ing their second litter.-Wisconsin Agri-
cnlturist

The Milk strainer.

The cause of many of the most OBJ
jectionable troubles in dairying, such
as early souring, ropy milk, bad odors
and all sorts of abnormal fermenta-
tions, have been traced to the filthy
condition of the milk strainer. The
strainer Immediately after use should
be thoroughly rinsed in cold or luke
warm water then washed in hot wa
ter, freeing the fine meshes from all
foreign substances, then rinsed in boil
ing water, sterllizei by steam or boil
ing In clean water and dried in the
sunlight or in clean room.--American
