Sober Consideration Needed.

A whole lot of US have gone crazy
over the tariff-following in the lead
ership of a few politicians who merely
want to work themselves into some Of
fee and W no may know nothing at all
about tariffs, nor about labor and
wages
AS a matter of sober fact, there was
never a time when the tariff question
needed more careful consideration at
the hands of our lawmakers than now.
We are up against competition not
from Europe merely, but from the
Orient also.
There is hardly a thing that our
workmen are now doing for us at good
wages that the japanese cannot do for
us more cheaply, but shall we shoot or
starve our own workmen?
As for ourselves, we are still in favor
lieving that the nation which will not
look after its own household first is
worse than a heather, as the Scriptures
hath it-Cedar Rapids Republican.
Wych Hazel, Not Witch Hazel.
The correct name for Hamamelis vir-
ginica is not witch hazel, but wych
hazel. Our plant has no connection
with the magic Of the water hunter.
The blackthorn of England. Prunus
spinosa, was the wood used in these
divinations, or whatever these super
stitiOus practices may be termed. Ha
eel had a very wide meaning in the
olden times. and the elm as well as
the nut now know as such was hazel.
One of these elms now known as III
mus montana, was the favorite wood
for making wycheS, or provision chests
and was therefore known as the wych
hazel In the present day it is the
wych elm. Our hamamelis received
from the early settlers the name of
vych hazel from the resemblance Of
the leaves to those of the wych hazel
or elm of the old world Language re-
formers imagining that wych should
be spelled witch are responsible for the
confusion. Wych hazel is the correct
term for our plant.

Almost any number Of fowls may be
kept upon the farm if it is large enough
to accommodate them. But they must
invariably be coloniZed in small groups
of not over forty or fifty to one house
or lot. Each colony is then kept sep
arate from the other to be tended and
cared for as if they were on separate
farms. Any attempt to keep a large
number in one flock is certain to result
In failure.

When hens have been laying for quite
a while, the eggs at the close of the
prolific period will not produce as
strong chickens as those that were laid
at the beginning of this period. 1t is
claimed the layer begins to diminish by
this continued effort and the eggs are
not sufficiently endowed with vitality
near the last of the litter.

Cattle have four stomachs, while the
pig has but one, and when you stop to
think about it you will readily observe
that both cannot be fed alike.

Sometimes it takes quite a whack
over the head to get our attention 1t
is so with the man who scrimps his
cows on feed, thinking that by doing 50
he is saving money. First he knows,
down goes the quantity Of milk, and
worse than that, the teat slips back.
Then he finds that he has fooled him
self, instead of fooling the COW. No
body ever fooled a COW that way very
long.

RACE FOR POLO.
New Men Would Take a Chance in
 Local Field.

Local Field.
 Already the managers of the polo team which represented the city last season, and the packers of the team which to represent this city in the polo league next season have clashed. They are bidding for the auditorium. Manager Ri hard Halllwell of Meriden was in this city last evening and met the directors of the Eagles associa- ton. The Waterbury Athletic club corporation also had a representative on hand to submit bid.
 It is understood that George Stro- bel, representing the owners of the Waterbury base ball club. submitted a bid of $1s0 a month for the Audi torium. That is, it is understood, much bigger than the offer of Mama gers McMahon and Halliwell of Meri- den, who have the franchise for this city in the league organized last year. .'1 :'>
 It is now said that sealed bids will be handed in on Tuesday evening, and on that night in all probability 1t will be decided who will have the hall for next season. Managers Hal- liwell and McMahon declare that they will play polo ill this city even If they get done out of the Auditor ium. On the other hand the newcom- CTS into the polo field say they will be right in the fight from the start and will make someone go 1t to beat 'em out. It is not known whether the present base bali muddle will have any effect on the polo plans.

WHAT IS Mollycoddle !?

That's the question that seems to bother lots of people now-a-days. Let Us tell you what we consider It means.
 A mollycoddle is person who ob- jects to carry home a pound or our nice tasting 27-cent butter. No, sirree, he'd rather pay 30 cents right at his door even if the quality isn't near as nice as the kind we sell.
 Another mollycoddle is the man who starts about this time of the year looking for political job, and believes what every politician tells him. Yes, every promise made him he believes it to be gospel truth.
 The mollycoddle that we are sure we know something about and Who we are sure positively is a real mol lycaddle, is an umpire at a base pail game who hasn't brains enough to last him a week. yet he can cheat, rob, sass; in fact, he can do just IS he pleases, and if the players who have forgotten more than the um- pire ever knew should remonstrate, he can fine them whatever he thinks proper; but the ones who make base ball rules and don't fix it so that an umpire that proves to be an M. G. should lose his pay, are the very worst kind of mollycoddles. Say, we wouldn't have any mollycoddles II all umpires and politicians would drink nothing stronger than the kind we sell. Our Teas and Coffees are the very best for the price. our Butter milk fresh every day, and our But ter hasn't an equal in the city, 2,c per pound at
