In the same year the imports for con sumption were of raw cotton 4:1,330,286 pounds of the custom house value of $4,686,430, manufactured cotton goods of the custom house value of $10,031, 638, of flax and its manufactures, $30, 670,240. All these foreign products should have b-en excluded by a tariff sufficiently protective for the purpose; all the needed cotton nnd flax and manufactures of both should have been produced in our own country.

An instance of its '“inspiring confi dence at home'’ can be found in the withdrawal of Mr. Harold M. Sewatl of Maine from the democratic party. Aluminum Bouts. An aluminum torpedo boat, built by 1 arrow for the French government, j liasj ust had a trial on the Thames. I The boat is <50 feet |long, 9 feet 3 j inches beam and weighs, with the | water in its boilers, 9 tons 8 | hundred weight, the hull alone weigh ing just 3 tons. The material used was an alloy of 93 per cent of alumi |. num and 0 per cent of copper. A I striking result obtained from using the lighter metal was a gain of three and one half knots over the steel boat- of the same model; the aluminum boat making twenty and one half knots; but its was also made possible to use thicker scantling, which stiffened the boat so that the vibration was not ap preciable. The boat is easier to lift, and more buoyant in the water. The cost of the metal was over £1.000. or twice as much as a steel boat of the same model. The Alaska Indians in the absence of suitable birch make their canoes of spruce bark. A measured section of bark is first peeled from the tree after it has been ringed at both ends and scored longitudinally. The ends are then doubled and sewed with roots, and a suitable gunwale and frame of willow are fitted and sewed to the bark. Two Indians can build one canoe in a day. Feeding Milk to rig*. Small pigs may be reared for not more than two cents a pound in the elover | field, with the skimmed milk and a lit* j tie bran in it, says Column's R\jral World. It will do no harm if the milk is a little sour, but if so sour that it smells offensively it is not fit even for a pig. If the milk is kept in a barrel, to which the offensive name of swill is given, it' is not fit for use, for it is not wholesome. It is better to mix the bran with the milk, skimmed, still sweet, if possible, and feed it imme diately. For if bran is added to the milk in a condition of incipient sour ness, it will produce rapid fermentation and considerably redueo the value of the food, besides making it injuriously unwholesome. The excess of acid produces indigestion, which is the cause • of that disease of the swine, especially of the young animals, which is popularly called black teeth. This is not a disease of the teeth, as is sup posed, but the result of the corroding products of a sour stomach. There is more profit in a lot of young pigs fed properly in this way than in any other farm product. The milk is without countable value for any other use, and is a waste, while the clover costs but little, and its whole value is returned in the manure left by the pigs, and due to the elements of fertility left in the milk. This, too, is a way of making money from the atmosphere, for the fat takes nothing from the soil, and is made up solely of atmospheric matter, and thus the soil is enriched, while the farmer gets ull that is possible from the land without any cost. A small quan tity of the soft corn at the gathering of this crop will finish the pigs in a handsome manner. The Wild Boer. Some writers on swine believe that most of the present breeds of swine come from the wild boar, an illustra tion of which is given in connection with this article. Domestication and crossing have greatly modified this animal, and the time needed to mature has been greatly reduced. The obser vation has been made that when swine, even after long domestication, are com pelled to run at large and hunt their food, after a few generations, they greatly change toward the old types. They become good travelers, long legged, and if they have to burrow for their food, become long snouted. Com paring our modern breeds with the old wild hog, we can but realize how great Is 313 degrees Fahrenheit. When part of this pressure is removed by ascending to higher levels, water will boil before coming to a heat of 313 de grees, or if a descent is made into a valley below the level of the sea the boiling point will rise accordingly. Thus it is plain to see that in highly elevated regions, where there is less atmospheric pressure upon the water, the boiling point is much lower than at sea level—in other words, it will boil before it is sufficiently heated to cook potatoes, beans, etc. An eleva tion of but 910 feet makes a diminu tion of but one degree in the boiling point. At the City of Mexico, where the elevation is 7.471 feet above sea level, water will boil at 198K degrees; at Quito, which is 0,541 feet, the boil ing point is reached at 104 degrees. It will be seen, therefore, thut boiling water is not always equally hot. At the places mentioned, and in several localities in our country, many articles of food can not be cooked at all by boiling, or, if they can, it takes several hours, where a few minutes should suffice.—St. Louis Republic. Irrigation and Fruit Shrinkage. A California fruit company has been investigating the effect of irrigation on fruit as regards its shrinkage when it is dried. They found rather unexpect edly that the irrigated fruit had less shrinkage, and was therefore worth more in its green state than fruit grown without irrigation. The conclusion is that the greater amount of water in the soil enabled the roots to take up more mineral matter. It also made a more vigorous growth of leaves, and through these the air contributed a greater proportion of saccharine pulp than was possible with the poorer foli age on trees that had a deficient sup ply of water.—Ex. Surplus Stock In all flocks of poultry there are more or less stock to be sold as market poultry such as hens and males over 2 years old; also the culls picked out from the chicks raised the past spring. And during the present is the time to get all such stock into the market, ns prices generally get lower after game makes its appearance. This is also the month to purchase cockerels for new blood next spring, as they can be bought for a half- less now than they can next spring. There is also the advantage in having a larger number to select from. If you buy now you take your elioicj, THE WILD BOAR. utility there is in the science of breed ing. The old boar had a large tusk, a long snout, and a much larger head in proportion to the rest of the body, than is the case with our boar of to-day. His ears were small and point ed upwards, and these were generally black at maturity. His growth was not attained until he was about 0 years of age, and the duration of his life was supposed to be about thirty years. The sow had but one litter per year, and this was usually composed of only five or six pigs. They were suckled for three or four months before being weaned, and followed the sow about for about three years till large enough to protect themselves. It was common for a single sow to be followed by three litters of different ages. Eaisi.v Farming in Utah.—To the newcomer the mountains towering from 9,000 to 10,000 feet above the oeeam level, with snow mantled winter lingering on their crests, sending down cool, refreshing breezes at night to the parched plains below, are ever attract ive. They become huge magnets that hold him at their feet. When lirig ham Young yielded to their magnetism he did well to limit the holdings of his followers to a unit of twenty acres per man. The prosperity of the communi ty was due to the small plots of ground highly cultivated. It was this that made a success of irrigation on the three rivers emptying into Salt lake, the Bear, Weber, and Jordan. Irriga tion in Utah, so far as it is ever seen by the average tourist, is confined to the tracts along these three rivers, for they embrace the life and vital ity of Utah. In this district are Ogden, Salt lake city, and the towns around Utah lake: here are found the agricultural college, the great sugar beet factory, and the host of smaller industries that have given Utah a world-wide reputation. There are many small districts redeemed by canals and ditches, especially in the southern portion of the territory, but they are off from the main line of travel and seldom seen by the visitor._ Ex.

By all ordi nary methods the catalpa is about as difficult to exterminate as the Canada thistle. We know of only one sure way. In the spring when the bark be gins to peel, tear the bark on the stumps downward in strips as low as you can after digging away the surface dirt, but do not break it loose at the bottom. After tearing it downward in strips to the roots let it flare outward like a funnel to carry the rain water to the base. This rough treatment at this stage of growth will set up a sap ferment that will kill the roots of ca talpa or even the willow.—Iowa State Register. __ Cost of Making Hay.—A corre spondent of the Country Gentleman tells of an experience of a business-like widow in getting her hay cut. She paid #3 per acre, or $18 for six acres. The yield was nine tons. The woman kept a little run of the time consumed and help employed in making this hay, and allowing $1.50 per day for man and the same for team and 50 cents for use of machine, the cost was less that! 81 per ton to the man doing the job. With fairly good weather and good machinery, hay can be made as low as 75 cents per ton, where it stands in large flelds and yields two tons and upward per aere, and the haul is not longer than the average on quarter section farms. Beneficial Use of Lime.—If lime is used freely in the poultry house, by dusting it over every portion, it will not only prevent disease, but also keep lice away. Never minil about its lib erating ammonia from the droppings, as that is a small matter compared with the benefits derived. The drop pings, however, should be cleaned out often. Take air-slacked lime and force it everywhere, using a paris-green duster. It is the best and surest pre ventive of gapes that is known, and it is seldom that roup appeal's where lime is used liberally. If preferred, a pint of crude carbolic acid may be in timately mixed with every half bushel of lime after it is slacked, and it will be found an excellent disinfectant.— Hartford, Conn., Times.

Returns of the French vintage of 1804, Just received, report a yield of 80,000,000 hectoliters (000,000,000 gal lons), only three-fifths of the yield of 1003, while the qualities of the red wines is apt to he inferior, owing to a cool summer and a very lute vintage. The best vintage in Franco this year has been in Champagne. There is no fear of immediate scarcity of good French wine, however, as the last seven years (1887 to 1803) havo been rich years both for quantity and quality, and the storehouses are full of ripen ing wine.

This may seem like a bold assertion to those familiar only with the means gener ally in use for its treatment; as, nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract of mall, whiskey, different preparations of hypophosphitos and such like palliatives. Although bjr many believed to be incura ble, there is the evidence of huudreds of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, consumption is a curable disease. Not every case, but a large per tentage of eases, and we believe, Jit tty tfi' per teal, are cured by Ur. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed ho far as to induce repeated! bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh, and extreme emacintiou and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such case* reported to us as cured by “ Golden Med ical Discovery ” were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take - our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by'the best and most experienced'home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis representing them, and who were often, strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery,” but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatul malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy “emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly alt these cases and had either utterly failed to Irene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
