To ascertain to what extent the in
be due to the new tariff would require
exhaustive analysts, but the conclu-
sion that the decrease in our sales of
agricultural products is due to the
high prices of those products is ire
sistible. We are consuming more of
these products at home than formerly.
We hence have less to sell abroad than
formerly The prices of those products
are advancing all over the world, but
there are agricultural countries where
prices are not yet : high as they are
here and the purchasers of the world
are buying in the cheapest markets.
Nothing alarming Is disclosed by the
condition Our exports of nonagricul-
tural products are increasing. The in
crease in those products alone for Feb
ruary was almost enough to Offset the
decrease in farm products. If it had
not been for an increase in our inn
ports this increase in nonagricultural
products would have been enough TO
leave the balance of trade in our ia
vor not far from the February normal
The significant feature of the condi-
ton is that we seem to have reached
time when, pending the introduction
of a more intensive system of cultiva-
ton or some other change, agricultur-
al products will continue to constitute
an ever 1essening and nonagricultural
products an ever increasing proportion
of our total export trade.-St. Louis

Length of Animal Life.

Various attempts have been made
to discover the law governing the
length of life of different species Of
animals. A general rule, subject to
many exceptions, is that the life Of
large animals is longer than that Of
small ones. But, although an elephant
may live 200 years. and a horse not
more than 40, man outlives horse
and cat or a toad may equal a horse
in length Of years. One authority
holds that the length of life of spe-
cies is something as characteristic of
that species as of any of its structural
or physiological properties. The length
of life is predetermined with the adj
vent of the new form and is not sub
sequently regulated for the benefit of
that particular species amid a new
environment

The advantages of the spring foal
are that this is a natural breeding
season, the foals are usually strong
er, they can spend a greater portion
of their early life outdoors and will
be less trouble than the fall colts In
any case, colts should not be allowed
TO run with the mares when at work.
In the fall they may be left in box
stalls. If spring colts they should be
left in the yard or paddock, prefer
ably a grass lot and allowed to be
with the mares only when the latter
are brought in for feeding during the
DAY. This will be no hardship to the
colt. there will be less risk Of its be-
ing injured and more work will be got
ont OF the mare, because she will not
fret and the colt viii not be IN the
way on the fields

Canada's Lesson Learned.
Senator Aldrich's trade war with
Canada is the elimination of series
of deliberate affronts to Canadians by
the high-tariff clique of Washington.
Sir John Macdonald's famous ma
tional policy" on which he returned
to power in 1873 and thereafter ruled
Canada until the early nineties, was
the direct result of ''standpatism" by
United States tariff barons.
Macdonald's predecessor. Alexander
Mackenzie. bombarded Washington
fruitiessly for even slight reciprocal
trade relations. Eastern mill bosses
and their lumber barons would not
yield, and their influence at Wash
ington kept Canada out in the cold.
Therefore Macdonald began in 1878
| to make Canada independent, as far
as possible, of the United States in
trade matters Canada's economic in
dependence got a slow start. but has
grown apace.
Even up to ten years ago Canada s
statesmen were ready for the renewal
of reciprocity" treaty with the
United States. But, as they gradually
learned that United States tariff
barons had absolute control of Con-
gress, they dropped the idea. They
began building up other foreign mar
kets, and gave Great Britain, the
mother country, a preferential tariff
agreement.

The Canadian Farmer has this to
say about the ration of COW that is
kept for the milk she produces; "A
good ration for a dairy COW giving a
fair flow of milk should contain about
30 pounds of dry matter, 225 pounds
of protein, Is pounds of starchy feeC
for carbohydrates and y pound of fat
All these figures represent this
amounts OF digestible in the feeds.
The protein should be in the feed at
the rate of one of protein to about
SIS starchy matter. Figuring on this
basis the following ration of feeds
grown on the farm will be found to
give good results: Corn silage, SO
pounds; alfalfa hay, 10 pounds; oat
straw, 5 pounds; ground oats, .
pounds, and ground peas, pounds
This will give nutritive ration OF
1.5S. or, in other words, there should
be one pound of proteids for every o.S
pounds of starchy feeds"

High Food Prices and Foreign Trade
For the first time in that month in
fifteen years the February of the cur
rent year shows an excess of Ameri-
can imports over exports. We bought
abroad during that month four and a
third million of dollars of products
more than we sold abroad.
During the eight months beginning
with the opening of the fiscal year on
July / and ending with the last of
February the excess of exports over
imports was in round numbers. That's
a balance of trade of comfortable di-
mansions to have in our favor, but
during the same eight months ending
with the last of February, 1909, this
excess was sS41. 100000. while the ex-
cess during the same months ending
February, 1908, was more than $780,
900 900.
K is not to be overlooked. of course.
that tie movement of money (gold,
silver and bank notes) and of securi-
ties, also. must be included in the
computation if an exact statement Of

Export. and the Ship subsidy.

In February, 1908, exports from the
United States exceeded imports into
the United States by S515,000,000: in
February, 1909, the excess of exports
over imports had fallen to s341 ,O0O.-
900; in February. 1910, exports exceed
ed imports by only $3.50. 100000.
The demand for American ships to
carry American goods to foreign mar
kets is founded on absurdity and pro-
ceeds from self-interest.
England. Germany and France our
greatest commercial competitors, are
steadily developing foreign markets by

featuring for home consumption, de-
liberately retards the development of

wen D0ne,
If President Taft has doubted the at
titude of the people of the United
States toward the Aldrich-Taft tariff,
his doubts should be dispelled by the
election of Eugene N. FSss, with a
Democratic majority of 500, in the
Fourteenth Massachusetts Congression-
al District, to succeed man who was
chosen by a Republican plurality of
1i,250 two years ago.
Mr.. Foss made his campaign on a
straight tariff issue. His sweeping
victory is a protest against the Aid
rich-Taft law, and Reputation Of
the Republican party by the inner
temple Of Republicanism.
Senator Lodge led the fight against
Mr. Foss. President Taft himself took
part in the campaign, making spe-
cial trip to Providence, and defending
the tariff in a public speech within
a few miles of the battlefield.
There was no local issue. The tariff
alone was in contest; the voters of the
Fourteenth District emphatically ex-
pressed their dislike and distrust OF
the tariff and its sponsors.
The Aldrich-Taft tariff and the Re
publican party are discredited in the
very cradle of protection. Republic
an grand dukes and tariff barons are
defied by their own followers. The
common people are in open revolt
against the interests The vassals have
turned against their feudal lords.
When such popular uprising oc-

Sacred Goldfish that hangs on Beacon

cratic victory all over the country at

Even the men trained in the service
OF soulless trusts and monopolies
sometimes revolt at the enormity of
the economic crimes perpetrated by
this class of corporations. For in
stance, Judge James B. Dill. of the

trusts. Before his elevation to the
bench Judge Dill was known as the
godfather of trusts" He was, posi-
bly,, the highest paid corporation law
yer in America.
When Judge Dill, therefore, points
out the danger to American consumers
of allowing certain classes Of trusts to
get the upper hand we may be sure he
speaks with exact knowledge. He Of

simply says, Hold the trust magnates
