While the free-trade papers have
been drawing particular attention to
an increase in the foreign trade of
twenty-five different industries, saying
nothing about a decrease in the exports
of forty-one manufacturing industries,
they have been equally reticent upon
the subject of our exports of agricul
tural products. As these constitute
more than half of our total exports,
they are far too important to be over
looked. In fact the true workings of
any tariff law cannot be fairly ex
amined if such omission be allowed.
Adopting1 the same system of eompari
■ son as the free traders instituted in re
gard to the exports of twenty-five in
dustries, we give the comparative ex
ports of agricultural products for each
ntonth of the present calendar year and
the corresponding months of 1894. We
suplement this with the values of agri
cultural exports during each month of
1892, the year when our best protective
tariff was undisturbed operation:'

This comparison shows that the ex
' ports of all agricultural products this
. year, to Aug. 31, were almost $28,500,
! 000 less than in 1894 and over $139,000,
000 less than in 1892. American farm
ers have captured 3u per cent less of the
markets of the world this year than
they possessed in 1892. Another no
ticeable fact is that our farm exports
last August were less than half as much
as in last January. During eight
months of this year we have lost over
‘ 181,000,000 of trade in our agricultural
products with the markets of the
world, trade that we secured to the ex
tent of 161,842,000 in January of the
grea^ protection year of 1892. If the
ratio of loss this year, over $7,600,000 a
month, should continue till the end of
1 1$98, then by the end of December next
we hardly be exporting any agricul
tural products at ait.

This,' from a democratic paper, is far
from being in accord with the promises
made to shopping women, In 1892, that
the repeal of the McKinley tariff would
be followed by cheaper goods and lower
prices. The dream of shoppers that
one free-trade dollar would bo equal to
two protection dollars is sadly shat
tered by this statement of cold, dry

that a free-trade promise Is more frag

the first full year of free _ wool their
importation amounted to 17,600,000
pounds. Every pound of Bhoddy, noils
and waste displaces about three pounds
of American unwashed wool. The ex

new law exceeds tho total annual yield
of clean wool of two of out largest wool

who wish to se

ant as well as
profitable nature.
This field is the pri
vate dairies owned
by men who keeD
| them not as a source of profit,
[ but also pleasure. A great many
of our rich men are buying
farms near their city of residence and
stocking them with cows of the best
breeds. These men wish to place their
farms in charge of men who have n
thorough knowledge of farm dairying
and stock raising, and are willing to
pay a good price for .the services of such
men. The wages offered are above
those of the average accountant, teach
er or clerk, and the occupation is
more enjoyable to one who has a love
for rural life. To be successful in this
line a young man must be of good
habits, neat and orderly, and capable
of turning to the best account the la
bor of men under his charge, must have
a knowledge of up to date farming and.
a thorough understanding of the breed
ing, care and feeding of all farm ani
mals. He must know how to run the
dairy machinery and make first class
butter. This field is open and is far
from being overstocked with suitable
men. In order to secure what they need
these dairy owners have to hire two
men, one to superintend the farm and
one to manage the dairy and creamery,
when if one man had the knowledge he
could fill both positions.—Denver Field
and Farm.
The Dairy Belt.
The so-called “dairy belt” that we
were wont to hear so much about in
years past proves to be a fallacy.
Wherever there is good grasses and
good water, good butter can be made.
It was once contended by dairy writers
that the “dairy belt” was confined to
the East, and that dairying could not
be mado a success in the West. Now
the West is the greatest of all dairy
sections of this vast Union. And there
was once a time when the West
preached the doctrine that dairying
could not be made a success in the
South. Note the condition of the South
today with her thousands of registered
cattle and her tens of thousands of
grades. These cattle are certainly not
kept for breeding purposes alone. They
are butter producers, important fac
tors in building up the agricultural
wealth of our Southland. They are
money makers for our farmers and
breeders. For years the best grades of
butter In the South,, the product of
these herds, has commanded a better
price In our markets than the best of
the Elgin product that has reached us.
In the past few years creameries have

Value of Gentleness—The money
value of quietness, gentleness and good
temper in milch cows is well known
and appreciated by all practical- dairy
men a* a thing of prims' importance.
These to a certain extent are inherited
from the parents of the animal, the
same as disposition to fatten, quality
of flesh, yield of milk, etc. Even
harsh tones to a nervous and timdd ani
mal am almost as dangerous as blows.
Gentle treatment should, commence
early with the young calf, and be con
tinued until the animal is put In the
dairy. The calf Bhould never kfiow
what it Is to fear man, and If never

will, almost without exception, be ex

The Avenge Coer.—The census
claims that there are over 16»&00,000
cows in the United States* end esti
mates their average production at but
tes- at 130 pounds each. When we con
sider that a good man? cove yield

must coachide that them ass a very

Pleuro-Pneumonia from Australia.—
The department of agriculture has re
ceived information from English
sources that among the cattle shipped
to London from Australia six undoubted
cases of pleuro-pneumonla were dis
covered. This, it is believed, will have
an important bearing on the competl
> tlon with American- meats from that
quarter, as it is presumed that England
I will prohibit further Imports from that

Snail End of the Wedge.
In farming, poultry keeping Is the
small edge of the wedge, so far as In
vestment Is concerned. That is, to the
farmer who is poor, It presents a way
out into greater things. The poor man
cannot go heavily into horse-breeding,
because it requires large investment at
first, Just when he has not the money to
invest. Then he must wait three, four
and five years for returns, and to do that
will require considerable money to
"carry” the business. So it is with all
other departments on the farm, though
not to the same extent as in horse
hrpfii^lnw
But with poultry it Is ■different. H<
can invest $1 or $100. Within a feu
weeks his investment returns him at
interest Frequently it will doubl*
within a year. How much will»a mat
be worth if he can go on doubling hli
capital each year for ten years? Ever
if his investment be only $10, it. will
l}?ve reached a comfortable figure. A l
the beginning of the eleventh year his
capital would be $10,240, a wedge ol
quite respectable thickness.
Few, however, will carry the busi
ness through to such a point. It re
quires application to numerous details,
Besides, many people use all the profits
from their flocks, instead of reinvesting
a portion. Another mistake is to invest
too much in numbers of birds and not
enough in pens for their accommodation
and comfort. The houses, yards, uten
sils and variation of methods must keep
pace with the increase of flock.
Altogether the poultry possibility
seems to be a providential creation in
behalf of the man of moderate means,
the woman who has a little spending
money to invest and the school boy that
is ambitious. A small sum can be in
vested, and it is like the seed of a plant,
under favorable conditions it will in
crease beyond expectations. But in
either case the product must be proper
ly cared for and nourished.
A Simple Rat-Trap,
Under this heading a correspondent
of a poultry Journal sends a description
and sketch, here reproduced, of what
he calls "the only perfect rat-trap, and
very simple and inexpensive.” Rats
in some localities are a serious nui
sance to poultry breeders, and a good
trap is worth a good deal of money to
them. The contrivance is thus de
scribed: Take a common box about a
foot square, find fifteen Inches long,
bore a bole In each end with an inch
and-a-haff auger, about four inches up
from the bottom, as shown at A in cnt.
Fill' a small tin pan (or box) with meal
mixed with Rough on Rats, set in mid
dle'of box, ff» indicated by dotted line
B; nail cover on, and you can sett it
anywhere without fear of chicks or
fowls touching it. Keep it loaded all
the time, and you will have no trouble
with rats.—Australasian.
Raining Quail.
Harsy Rudolph, says the Philadelphia
Record*, has bred! hatched and raised to
maturity in captivity over 100 quail at
his home, on Van Pelt street, this city..
To those who have ever captured a
young quail and- tried to make it live
this will: be good- news, for some day
there will' probably be a quail farm
Where this most valuable gome bird will
be bred and raised, in quantities. Recent
severe winters have greatly lessened
the natural:supply of quail, not only in
this section, but farther south as well,
and game protective societies have ex
perienced! much difficulty in obtaining
aa many birds aw they wanted for
breeding purposes.
Mr. Rudolph’s discovery of the food
young quail require was not an acci
dent, bub. the result- of long study. He
has kept live quail: for the last twenty
years, but- only until recently has be
succeeding in getting the young birds
to live. All ordinary food, such as is
given yeung chickens, turkeys, etc., he
found tao be useless with quail, the
young invariably dying. He tried brood
after brood and finally turned his at
tention to wild food, such as "the birds
would be likely ta get in their natural
state. He was successful and now says
he can raise 65 per cent of all young
birds hatched. Just what this wild food
is Mr. Rudolph says is bis secret. His
success- proves iffiat it is a good one.
After the birds are ten days old they
will eal anything and live.
Exterminating Burdocks—Like all
bienntela, the burdock is easily de-*
strayed in cultivated fields. It is.
only in by-plases. as fence sides, cor
ners, and around the buildings, pas
tures and bonders of woodlands that
burdocks give trouble. But even in
these they ane not difficult to destroy.
Farmers who, go over their fields twice
a year with, their spades will soon have
uai burdocks In cutting them case
should be taken to strike below the
down. Every plant cut in this way
must diet The cutting may be dona at
eny time of the year when the ground
is not frozen, and it is, of course, much
| more easily done when the plants, are
young. 'While It is not difficult to cut
off a small tap root with the spade, it
is much more difficult to accomplish the
same when the root has attained a di
ameter of an inch or more. Two or
three years of persistent spading will
remove nearly all burdocks from the
by-places of our farms.—Ex.

The Modern Ideal Kitchen.
“The Ideal Kitchen” is treated at
length, described in detail bjr James
Thompson, and illustrated in the La
dies* Home Journal. Mr. Thompson
says that in the model kitchen of the
present the walls should be of glazed
tyles or enameled brick to the height
of six or seven feet- In place of these,
painted brick or plaster may be used.
Soapstone is also excellent. The tiles
or brick Bliould be carried clear to the
floor; no wooden baseboards must be
used. The floor should be of tiles,
plain mosaic, stone or cement, all hard
and dirt-resisting and easily kept clean.
Have as little woodwork as possible,
and what you are obliged to have let it
be plain, with as few joints and crev
ices as possible. Your cook will at first
object to this style of flooring, but a
few days' care of this cleanly surface
will conviuce her. '

WHERE ORAIN CROWS.
Manitoba’s magnificent crop of 1895
demonstrates the wonderful fertility
and productiveness of the soil of that
western Canadian province. The yield
of wheat on 1,145,276 acres was about
35,000,000 bushels; of oats, nearly 30,
000,000 bushels on 482,578 acres; of bar
ley, 6,000,000 on 153,839 acres, and there
were besides 1,250,000 bushels of flax,
65,000 bushels of rye and 26,000 bushels
of peas. This Is an average of over 30
bushels of wheat to the acre, of 60 bush
els of oats, and of 39 bushels of barley;
and this immense crop was safely har
vested by 25,000 farmers, many of whom
settled in Manitoba within the past ten
years with very little capital except in
dustry and energy, and some with little
or no experience whatever in farming.
In the aggregate these 25,000 farmers
have averaged 2,880 bushels of grain of
all kinds; and besides this have pro
duced magnificent crops of roots, pota
toes, cabbages, onions and garden vege
tables of all kinds. They have shipped
to eastern markets, in addition, thou
sands of head of sleek cattle and large
numbers of sheep. And all this has
been accomplished without the expen
diture of one dollar for artificial fer
tilizers and with a very small outlay for
wages.
Beyond this province are fertile lands
and a ranching country stretching miles
to the foothills of the Rocky Moun
tans. These ere divided Into the dis
tricts of Aseiniboia, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. The eastern part of the f inn
er is also admirably adapted for wheat
raising and mixed farming, and the
western part of the district and the
southern hall of Alberta combine to
furnish the great cattle ranenes of the
northwest, there being countless acred
of prairie land, on which grow the most
nutritious grasses on the continent.
Northern Alberta, to which have
flocked in recent years thousands of set
tlers from Nebraska, Kansas,' Wash
ington and other states, is the poor
man’s paradise;, and. although it ha3
only had the advantages of railway
communication since 1891, is rapidly
filling up. There is practically no tax
ation in these districts, except for ed
ucational purposes, and each one pos
sesses every requisite—in climate, soil,
E fuel, water, etc.—that the most favored
j. old settled countries eujcy. No coun
i; try is more prosperous than this Cana
j! dlan northwest, and to none will there
I; be a larger immigration, as its won
iderful productiveness becomes known.
