CHAPTER XVI.

Lady Garland came down to break
fast the following morning some min
utes earlier than her niece. She made
the tea. and then she began to look
through her mornings letters. Most of
them were bills, and she flung them
down one after the other in a heap on
the table beside her.
One comfort is that nearly all of
them are for Irene's trousseau," she
said to herself with satisfaction rand
that generous fellow Taunton will pay
every one of them." and then she
chuckled to herself over her own clev-
erness in having managed that her
own wedding garment of expensive
heliotrope satin. profusely trimmed
with lace, should be entered in Irenes
bill, and that I, was therein described
in such vague terms that Mr.. Taunton
would certainly pay for it with all the
rest without a suspicion of it's being
hers.
She iad scarcely finished reading her
letters when a cab dashed up to the
house. and the door-bell was rung

The worthlessness Of tariff on az
ricultural products to increase the
farmers profits is we'll illustrated by
potatoes. Last year there was short
age in the crop, so much so that many
farmers were compelled to buy their
supply for table use and for seed.
Millions of bushels were imported, the
tariff tax being added to the price.
which the consumer, including the
farmer. was compelled to pay. This
year there is large crop of potatoes.
and the tariff on them does not in
crease the price one cent. as in many
localities in our own and other States
the price paid the farmer is less than
the tariff imposed by the latest mon
strosity Fairmont Sentinel.

setting ont Fruit Trees.


Some fruit growers believe that the
most appropriate time to plant an
apple orchard is in the fall. from
about the last of October till the mid
die of November when the ground is
loose and moist enough to work well,
but not wet and sticky. At that time
the growing season is over and the
trees will hardly be injured at all by
the change from nursery to orchard.
The roots that have been cut in dig
ging and preparing for resetting will
callous over, and the ground will set
tie firmly about the roots, and in the
spring the trees are ready to awaken
into new life without check to their
growth.

Between the MiIlston e..

Eighty per cent Of pecPie of this
country are unjustly handicapped in
their fight for existence. On one side
they are victims of high cost of liv-
ing created by an Ubiquitous tariff. On
the other they are harassed by in
creasing extravaganza in administra-
ton Of government
This tendency is not confined to ma
tional affairs. 1t exists in state, city
and county. 1t is increasing taxes of
this generation and piling up noun
tain of debt to burden the next.
Municipal Indebtedness of the twelve
largest cities in the United States has
increased from s444.967,167 to more
than $1,000 100000 in the last ten
years. Our marvellous growth. our
commercial expansion, our national
optimism, seem to have gone to the
heads of public officials.
We have a great country; why
bubble about expense? This seems
to be the theory on which affairs are
conducted. Meanwhile the tax bur-
den grows heavier, and purchasing
power of the weekly pay check CON
tracts.
This is the real problem with which
this nation has to deal 1t is magnifi-
cent to govern on large scale, to
build splendid buildings, to order vast
public improvements and issue bonds
to pay for them.
But every dollar thus expended is a
lien on incomes ol the people. In the
last analysis it must be deducted
from the pay check
Public officials should spend less
time devising means to evade debt
limitations and consider whether the
people can afford to continue creating
new debts.

A COTTON suhstitute.

Owing to the high price of cotton
German textile experts have been turn
ing their attention to other fbers that
might be used as substitute, and
recently a company at Chemnitz has
succeeded in spinning the fiber con-
tanned in the seeds of the kapok, or
silk-cotton tree of the tropics.
In its natural state this fiber cannot
be spun, owing to its extreme brittle
ness, but Prof Goldberg of Chemnitz
has found a method of treating it to
make it spinnable. and the yarn is de-
scribed as having peculiarly soft,
silky feeling The fiber has hitherto
been in use as padding material for
furniture and in making pillows and
similar articles, and it has answered
this purpose so well that the cultiva-
ton of trees has been introduced into
the German colonies of New Guinea
and East Africa The fiber has the adj
vantage of being considerably cheaper
than cotton.

Corn Supplements

Corn Supplements and Substitutes.
The proper supplementary feeds
which balance corn in ration not
only enable the hog to show better re-
suits in fattening, but they also make
possible more economical ration.
Feeding a hog on corn alone, whatever
the form, is a false economy by which
the feeder cheats both himself and the
hog. Its natural supplements are
those which furnish protein and min
eral matter, and, if not easily avail
able on the farm, are usually pur-
chaseable so as to be used at a profit.
Some, such as clover, alfalfa and 9TH
er pasturage, are unquestioned as to
their desirable qualities, and others,
such as the prepared meat scraps
from the great packing houses and
known by their trade names of meat
meal or tankage, have rapidly come in
favor for the large amount of protein
they supply. The ash or mineral mat
ter of the corn grain is considered
indigestible for swine, and the alb
sence of mineral matter impairs the
nutritive process and Injuries the
structure; yet it is neither difficult
nor expensive to supply hogs with ash
es, salt, coal, charcoal or eharred cobs
as correctives, with corn.-Coburn's
