ThW1' stupendous loss of nearly a

upon American farmers since the Mc

It takes no account of the shrinkage

of the'enoj-mous supply of farm truck

It is noteworthy that the aggregate

cally^thc same for live stock as for the

because many were inclined to attrib

to some extraneous causes, whereas the

Montana for Protection.
I am a firm believer in the policy of
Protection to American labor and
American industries. A large majority
of the people of Montana are devoted
to this doctrine, and they have con
sistently supported it, notwithstanding
they are purchasers of Protected ar
ticles generally and only receive a
meager direct benefit through the duties
on lead and wool. Their adherence to
the doctrine rests on broad, patriotic
views of enlightened national policy.—

On January 1,1892, the market price
of No. 2 Milwaukee barley was 57*4
cents a bushel. Granulated sugar was
quoted at 4 cents a pound the same day.
therefore a bushel, of barley was worth
1414 pounds of sugar. Four years later,
January 1, 1896, barley was worth 32V6
cents and sugar 5 cents. The farmer's
bushel of barley could be exchanged ior
only 6V4 pounds of sugar.
PmmtItuImi on Protection.
Hon. John Dalxell, M. C., of Penn
sylvania, recently said: “What this
country wants Is more revenues
through the custom houses, more men
in the mines, more blazing furnaces,
more factories, more mills, the music
of more spindles, more and cheaper
transportation facilities, a wider field
for labor, an enlarged home market,
more consumption to stlmi^ate produc
tion, to Increase wages and to decrease
the hours of labor." These necessary
and much desired conditions can only
bo brought, about by a return to the
policy of Protection to American In
dustries, such as we enjoyed in 1891 and
1892, when our Industries were pro
tected and our treasury receipts were
adequate to meet the requirements of
the government
True Progress Possible.
True progress Is only possible when
the farmer finds the market for his
produce in the neighboring towns, and
the manufacturer a market tor his
goods among the surrounding farmers;
hence the Importance of such a policy
to the Southern people as will result
in the opening of our mines, the manu
facturing of our timber and the utili
zation of the unsurpassed water power
within our bordera—Hon. Jeter C.
Pritchard, 17. S. 3., of North Carolina.
Clothing for Farmers and Artisans.'
How tar local firms are Justified in
producing a showy but halt-worthless
' cloth that will be sold to the American
retail buyers—farmers, artisans and the
like—Is another matter. The possibil
ity even a tew years ago of manufac
turing a cloth at Is. 6d. per yard was
scouted, but to-day there are makers to
be found able to produce good-looking
masses of the poorest shoddy, kept in
form by low cotton warp, at from Is. 3d.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.

| Horticulture. Viticulture and Flori
culture
OW that we have
learned that by
planting varieties
adapted to our
climate and giving
them treatment
that shields them
from the peculiar
hardships which
they are obliged to
undereo. we can
! raise an abundant
I supply of apples, the next question that
interests us is how to make the most
economical use of the fruit we have
learned to grow. Nearly all the varie
ties our State Society is, thus far, will
ing to recommend, are fall and early
winter sorts. The only really hard alt
winter keeper outside the trial list la
the Mnlinda, and that is handicapped
with two important failings. First, it is
an extremely tardy bearer, and, second,
it is of only secondary hardiness, a very
bad combination for this climate.
If our orchards are like most of those
already fruiting, bearing only the fall
varieties, like the Duchess, we still do
not need to be without home-grown
apples for a good share of the year, if
we live near a town where there is a
cold storage plant, for we find that if
the fruit is picked with great care. Just
as soon as ripe and placed in cold stor
age, without any bruises or rough hand
ling, it will keep till after mid-winter
in perfect condition. Indeed, the
Duchess makes a far more palatable
eating apple when kept in this manner
than it is when freshly picked from the
tree.
We find also that a barrel of Duchess
taken from cold storage in January will
keep without decay for several weeks
in an ordinary cool house cellar. We
have paid 15 cents per barrel per month
for the 6mall quantities we have had
so stored, and, considering the poor
quality and high price of the apples
usually found in our markets, we have
generally found it an economical ven
ture. But our people are now begin
ning to have quite a little surplus of
the Wealthy, and are likely to soon
have still larger quantities of the hi
bernal and Longfleld varieties, that in
our latitude may, with proper treat
ment, be kept until February, but with
careless and ignorant handling may he
half spoiled in a month after gathering.
None of these rich, mellow varieties will
keep until cold weather if allowed to
drop on the ground before picking. The
same care should he taken in handling,
as with the summer fruit, and all wormy
and diseased apples rejected.
After the apples have been properly
picked, the common mistake is made'
of placing them immediately in the cel
lar, which at this time of year is the
worst possible place. A clean, cool
shed or outhouse is the best place for
them until there is danger of freezing
weather, when they may be removed to
the cellar for the winter. It is probably
best to allow the boxes or barrels to
remain open for a few days after plac
ing in the Bhed, but they should soon be
closed up tight to prevent too much
drying out and to protect from rats,
mice and the boys.
We have not tried a straw shed, but
have been told that such are cooler aud
preserve a much more even temperature
than a board shed, and we are so far
convinced of its merits that we propose
to try a straw shed next season. A moist
cellar is preferable to a dry one for
keeping apples. Indeed, one excellent
Western authority says that a cellar
cannot be too moist for apples. We can
not close without a word of encourage
ment to orchardists in Southern Minne
sota. We have within the past few
weeks seen numbers of line, healthy
trees of the Duchess, Wealthy and the
better varieties of crabs on the prairies
more than a hundred miles northwest
of where we are to-day. Many of these
trees measure two feet in circumfer
ence of stem and are bearing very
profitable crops.
We found one orchard alone in Yellow
Medicine county from which there was
sold $200 worth of apples in one season.
If so much has been accomplished on
the God-forsaken, wind-swept prairies,
intended only for the home of the grass
hopper and buffalo, what shall be said
of the farmer in grand old Mower coun
ty, who has not sand and sense enough
to raise an orchard for his own comfort,
and for his boys ami girls to anjoy and
look back upon in later years os the
pleasantest 3pot in the dear old home
stead.— C. Wedge in Farmers' Review.
Rndtllnff and Grafting;
If the apple trees which C. Andrews
wishes to bud are small,one Inch or less
In diameter at the ground, he can get
trees one year sooner by grafting than
by budding. Tie time for budding In
this latitude Is July or about the time
when the new growth Is completed,
and must be performed before the sap1!
goes down, so that the bark will not
peel readily. To bud, take a sharp
knife and make a cut with tho point
of the blade downward on the stock,
about one and a half inches long, then
make a cut across the upright cut,
turning the back of the blade out so as
to open the upper ends of the bark.
| If the bark doesn't open readily .use
a quill to open it. Cut a bud from a
twig of the new growth, about one
i inch long, cutting down and taking a
; very thin slice of wood with the bark.
; Take the bud by the leaf stalk, with
' the leaf cut off and push it down under
1 the bark. If necessary, use the sharp
point of a knife blade to push the bud
down. Then tie It with a very narrow
strip of calico. The next spring cut
, the stock off just above the bud, and
. keep all other sprouts rubbed oft.
If the trees are large, the best way
Is to trUp out the tops and next sum*
mer bud Into the water-sprouts. No
wax Is used In budding. Grafting, ex
cept nursery grafting, is performed
just as the sap is coming up(and the
buds beginning to swell), by cutting
the stock square off and splitting it
with a knife, then cut the scion four or
five inches long, make it wedge shaped
at the but-end, and insert in the stock,
with the bark of each together. Then
wrap the union with strips of old calico
dipped in wax made of equal part3 of
rosin, beeswax and tallow melted to
gether.—D. R. Dunihue.
Starch from Potatoe*.
Starch is made principally from two
things, corn and potatoes. In the west
most of the starch is made from corn,
but in New England potatoes .are ex
tensively employed. In Aroostook
ciyinty, Maine, immense quantities of
potatoes are thus used, and we are of
the impression that the potatoes are
paid for at a fair price. We know that
some years the factories have paid as
high as 50 cents per bushel for them.
We are glad to see that the matter Is
being taken up in the west, where po
tatoes have been sold this year at a
price as low as 8 cents per bushel, simp
ly because there was no other way of j
disposing of them. Factories have been
started in Minnesota, Wisconsin and j
the Dakotas. There is one great advant- !
age in making potatoes into starch: the j
starch can be held indefinitely, while ,
the potato in its natural state cannot j
be. The same advantage does not ac- j
crue to the farmer when corn is made j
into starch for the corn can be kept for j
years if need be. If any reader of the !
Farmers’ Review has been selling his \
potatoes to one of these new starch fac- j
tories we would like to hear from him
as to prices paid.—Farmers’ Review.
We cannot overestimate the value of :
the reports being furnished every j
month by our consuls. They are par- J
tieularly valuable to the agricultural
interests. A great many good things
have been reported during the last two
years. Some of these reports have been !
printed In large volumes, like the con- j
sular report on cattle, Issued some
years ago. This was a volume of over
a thousand pages, illustrated with sev- j
eral hundred- full-page cuts.' 'It was a !
revelation to those people that sup
posed that the chief breeds of the world
could be comprised in a score of titles.
The monthly reports are issued In
pamphlet form. They have given us
information of the style of living in all
foreign countries, with opportunities
for the sale cf American goods. Be
sides that we have received informa
tion of the latest inventions. It Is to
be hoped that the consular service will
suffer no deterioration.
Velvet Soup.—Make a stock with a
fowl weighing four or five pounds and
two quarts of water: strain and when
cold ffee from fat; return to the fire
and when it boils add three thick slices
from a loaf of stale bread, tied in
.cheese cloth, a slice each of carrot and
onion, several stalks of celery, and a
bunch of parsley; simmer for an hour.
In the meantime pound the breast of
the chicken fine with a vegetable mash
er and set aside. Now rub the stock
and bread through a sieve, add the
pounded chicken meat, and salt and
pepper; when it boils up pour it slow
ly over two tablespoonfuls of butter,
melted and stirred with one of flour,
and pass all again through a fine sieve;
lastly, add a quart of hot cream or
milk.
Forestry in India.—The English
government is trying to conserve the
forests of India and is having a hard
time of it. The people do not take
kindly to the idea and set the woods
on Are whenever they can do so and not
get caught. This makes it necessary
for the English to keep on hand a
large number of guards for the forest
it protecta Of the total forest area
very little has as yet been placed un
der government protection. In the
province of Bengal alone 1,889 square j
miles are protected by guards and has
been for eighteen years, yet last year I
fires swept away 689 square miles, and j
most of the conflagrations were of in
cendiary origin.
At a Mexican home potatoes were
cooked and served in the following
way: Peel large potatoes and then cut
in halves, scoop out the center and fill
the space with a mixture made as fol
lows: Take two eggs boiled, hard and
then mash fine, one tablespoonful of I
chopped parsley, one of onion and one
of melted butter; add one raw egg beat
en light, and make the mixture thick j
with finely chopped cooked chicken or
meat. Heap the mixture in the pota
toes and sprinkle over the top crumbs
and grated cheese. Bake to a brown
and pour tomato sauce around them
to serve.
Non-Worked Butter.—With the pro
gress of dairy science there is a con
stant change in the methods of hand
ling butter. The latest innovation is
the process of making butter by which
all working is avoided. The cream is
churned until the butter has appeared
in granular form. Then the butter is
taken out. salted with brine, put into a
machine that, throws out moat of the
moisture and buttermilk by centrifugal
motion, put into molds and shaped for.
use. It is thus made to retain all its
delicious flavor.

A SAD ROMANCE.
Bow Sir John MIIU1. Won Raskin’s
Wife Away from Rim.
So it is Sir John Millais, upon whom
Lord Leighton’s mantle will fall as
president of the Royal Academy, says
G. W. Baxter in the Cincinnati Trib
une. It is doubtless the best and most
praiseworthy selection that could have
been made.
But I wonder what poor John Rus
kin thinks of it?
One woman, fair as a poet’s dream,
has so commingled these men’s lives
that it is Impossible to think of one
without recalling the other also.
She was the wife of John Ruskin
when he was still a young man, filled
w,ith hope and high ambition, and al
ready the chief critic of England, when
he gave his promising friend, John Mil
lais, a commission to paint her por
trait.
Millais was a handsome fellow, with
a good big vein of materialism and a
wholesome love of everyday day in his
composition, whereas, Ruskin was sev
eral degrees removed from an Adonis
and so given over to study and dream
ing that the woman who bore his name
suffered for companionship—a most
grievous thing, my brother, to permit
any woman to do.
Nathless, Ruskin loved his wife ten
derly and treated her with so much,
consideration and good nature that he
left her alone with his friend Millais
for hours at a time, while Millais paint
ed and chatted and laughed and sighed
and finally fell to loving her with a
love that could have but one con
summation.
About this time the woman also made
a discovery. She found that her regard
for her husband was only a vast re
spect for his manliness and his schol
arship and that her woman’s heart had
gone out with all its strength to the
handsome young friend of her husband
who had so long been engaged in paint
ing her likeness.
Then came remorse and agony of
soul for the guilty love that possessed
them. Conscience smote lover and
mistress like a two-edged sword—for
they were both honorable people, de
spite their wayward affections—and
they decided to awaken the husband
from his dreams and confess every
thing, abiding, for the future, by hip
Judgment.
So one day they went into the dream
er’s study hand in hand and on their
knees, all contritely, told the story of
their passion dolorous.
John Ruskln, deserted husband and
outraged friend, heard them through in
patient agony, and then, great-hearted
man that he was, he gave them his
blessing and put peace into their
hearts. -
They passed out into the world, leav
ing the husband to hide his pain as
best he might, and in due time a di
vorce waB secured and John Millais
and the woman of his heart were made
man and wife.
At the altar it was Ruskin who gave
his former wife into his friend’s keep
ing. And then he threw his whole
soul into his work and to-day ranks
first of all art lovers of all lands, while
Millais has since risen to the foremost
painter of Victoria's realm.
ToTday Ruskln is almost a recluse.
The irony Of life has smitten him heav
ily. Millais is a petted child of for
tune, who confesses that he makes pic
tures only for the money they bring
him.
Such is the heart story of two of
Britain’s foremost men.

ies and shops come as noble examples
