Selecting Hood Cnrn. A great many farmers who regard thomsolves as quite careful In tho se lection of seed, content themsolvcs with making the selection at husking time or from tho crib, "being guided by tho npponranco of tho ear. This ia not sufficient, however, to secure tho best results. Prof. H, J. Waters, dean of the Missouri Agricultural Collogc, nar rates a direct experiment on this point. The field was gono through nnd lino ears were selected from tho large, thrifty stalks having an abundant loaf growth. Another lot of ears, equal in size, was gathered from stalks smaller ami less thrifty. After tho seed had bo4n gathered, the qno lot could not bo distinguished from tho other so far aa tho nppearauce of the cars went. The oniy difference was lu the kind of stalk that produced tho oars. A Hold was plontecrwlth these two lots of seed. All through tho ceaaon that portion which had been grown from the ec1 tnRcn from the thrifty stalks could be distinguished from the planting made from th sood takon from the lcfte thrifty stalks. At harvoat time the difference In favor of tho! seed from tho largo thrifty stalks wflli plenty of leaf growth was sevou buabels per aero, uud Prof, Waters thinks that if this process of solectlon was carrion" on for a' series of yoars a variety of corn could bo considerably improvod on tho ono hand, or almost entirely" run out on the other. It fol low!, ttferofore, that the selection of seed ears from tho crib, being guided bttarml gcnoral appearanco of tho ef "simply. Is not sufficient, and thnt It ie'quUe as important to unow tuo kind gCfstalk that produced the seed ear as it is, to Uuow that the ear Itself haa the afxe. form, etc., which suits the purpose of the farmer. Farmers' Review. Coat of Puiully llurrle. Ypu'can have strawberries on tho tafclo throe times per day until tho last of June, raspberries and strawberries tdgethejr for awhile, then raspberries, drrberrlcs, currants and gooaeborrlea. wi U overlap woll on tho delicious V u berry, and then grapes uutll De ,u cr, SJoantlme an abundance of canrK 1 fruit to last until frosh berries cwne again next sotifon. These are not 4 llSStt the stalo trrlw bought on tho mnfkot, hut fnh nnd clean directly from the garden, and worth douhlo as much as the stale ones nought In town. I think I know something of tho coat of growing berries, and while I concede that they cannot ho grown as cheaply In a small way aa tho wholesale grower would produce Ihom, yet I will contract to pay the hired man his wages, buy tho plant nnd do all tho work connected with thorn till they aro ready for pick ing it two cents per quart for strawber ries, raspberries, gooscborrlos nnd cur rants; bfnckborrlos for throe cents, and grapes for half a cent per pound, and have thoin all ready for picking, and the latter work can bo dono for loss trouble thun you can go to tho grocer for thorn. Besides, If purchnscd you must pro duce something olso to got tho money, Then you must pay for picking at least uiu ii-ms iur qutu i, uuuo aim tuuiimo- Blons to dealers at least three cents more. You buy a crato and carry them homo, nnd before you can cat them or can them up, they nre otalo and liavo lost their flavor. You havo bo mnny that you are ruBlicd to get rid of thorn before they spoil, nnd eat too mnny at once, often bringing on serious disor ders, and then go without for consider able time; In fact, most formers go without them pretty much altogether. In tho oyes of tho law It Ip not a crlmo to deprive your family of theso cheap, God-given, delicious luxuries, but it is an offense against them, nnd the rush of tho boys from tho fnrm to tho cities, whore they aeo things in great prolu sion, benra evidence that It haa more to do with tho breaking up of families bo early in llfo than any other ono thing. A steady diot of "hog and hom iny," pork nnd potatoes makes both boyB and girls restless, and they long for n change. Dr. Vaughn n, dean of tho medical fac ulty ot the university at Ann Arbor, in a lecture before tho State Horticultural Society, pointed out that tbero woro many families seriously affected with a dlscnso cloBoly rcscmblltiK scurvy, and tho only effectual remedy yet found were the rich fruit acids. All such dis eases had yielded promptly to this treatment. A careful computation ot your bills for medlcino during tho year will 8liow It to bo considerably more than tho cost of tho. fruit gnrden, and bo in many cases you can take your cholco at the same price, so unless you really enjoy grunting and slcknoss you should begin at once to prepare for tho spring planting. Select the highest nnd best piece ot ground you can find, nnd us near the liouso as possible, ro tho good wlfo and children can step out and pick tho ber rlea Just before the meal. Have ull rows long ko the work can bo dono with the horse, with as little hand work as possible. Draw out at once and spread a coat of well-rotted ma nure, or it you do not havo this use fresh manure and let tho winter rains wash tho juices down into nnd incor porate It witli tho soil. Tho coarto Btraw should bo vaked off and not be plowed under, as It seriously injures tho ground in ease of drouth. Next to tho fence eet a row of aspara gus.

Tho accident to the steamer Missoula tends to show more clearly thnn any- tiling that has occurred the vast area of Lnko Superior, and the possibility of a vessel's crew reaching land after shlpwrock, and yet being unheard of i for a couplo of weeks after starting on a voyago, says tho Detroit Free Press. The shores of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota on the big lake are traversed by railways and telegraph linos, and the towns nnd small settlements on the Amorienn side of tho inko, oven -to tho Islands, furnish ready moans of commu nication with the larger cities, but not so on that part of tho Canadian shore ( north of tho lakes, where a wilderness , luhablted by a few fishermen and In- dians cjctstB. This is especially tine of wio uanauinn snore jubi auovu ouuji oh.-, i Mario, nnd for n long stretch ot country to tho north nnd ennt ot tho point where tho Canadian Pacific Hallway turns In to tho shore of tho luke nnd traverses it on toward Port Arthur and Fort Wil liam. When tho Missoula broke her shaft and was rendered helpless, she wns less than twonty-flvo miles from Caribou island, on the course down toward Sault Ste. Mario. Sho wrfs somowhnt off the regular course of vessels bound down from tho bead of Lake Superior, but if she had been nblo to make any headway toward the Sault, or care for herself at all on tho course she was following, sho would havo been picked up very soon after the uccldent by somo passing vessel. But n southerly wind drifted her out of the course of even tho few vessels trading to Cnnadlan ports at the head of tho lakes, and sho was working over toward tho-wildcst part of tho Canadian north shore territory when her crew wcro compelled to nbnndon her. A glance at the chart will show that Brulo point, where tho crow of tho Mls- aoula first made land, Ib scarcely more j than Bcvcnty-flvc miles from Sault Ste, Mario, whoro 15,000,000 tons ot freight pnRsos through a canal In a slnglo rea son, and yet tlie men In one of tho Mis soula's yawl boats spent nearly two days working along tlie shore of the lako before thoy found any more oign of life than a deserted fisherman's shanty, in which they built a fire and dried their wot clothing. The fishing seaoon had closed, but oven fishermen nio ticarce in this territory during the most active periods. It is not strange, therefore, that tlie men from tho Mis soula were nearly a full week in finding means of communicating with tho own ers of the vessel after they had landed j on tho dreary north shoro of Lake Su perior.

Addressing free-traders, a Chicago organ of MoKInloylsm asks: "Two years or bo ngo woro you not howling that tho tin plate duty was an Infamous Imposture that could not result In the establishment of-tin plate Industries In tho United Statea?" No. Free-traders were not howling timt two years ngo or at any other tmc. So far from denying they have always affl-mcd that It was possible to ostauiisu an industry uy tlie tnriu , method or by the bounty method. They , have alwoys affirmed that if persons wishing to cngago in Industry were ns- siateil by bounties high enough or by arming them with power to tax their fellow citizens heavily enough they could succeed. This, is the very thing to which free traders strenuously object. They in sist not only that it is wretched econ omy but that It is grossly Iniquitous cither to tax tho people uud hand the money over to individuals to swell their gains or to give those Individuals power to collect taxes from their neigh bors themselves, They agree with the supremo court of the United States in the opinion that thia sort of thing is not taxation but robbery under the forms of law, nnd that government can not justly doany such thing. With respect to the tin plato indus try, so far from saying that it could not be made profitable by the tariff method, they have strongly objected to being taxed by that method to make it profit able. They have strongly objected to being taxed to make that industry ex cesslvoly profitable, as they were undor tho McKinley law. The proof that thoy were so taxed in seen in the fact that tho tin plato men hnvo gono right on establishing more plants and in creasing their output under the new duty, which is little more than halt as high iib the McKinley duty. Tlie organ asks whether it is not true that nearly 100 tin plato plants were established under protection, and "that theso 100 rivals for tho posses sion of tho United States market were free from suspicion of trust combina tion" until after the enactment of the tariff of 1894. There was an American Tin Plato association before tlie Mc Kinley law existed, and it has been in existence ever since. It may be that this association did not attempt to re strict production or to maintain prices until after the repeal of the McKinley tariff. That was hardly necessary, because they could not produco tin enough to supply more than half of the Amoricn demand nnd there was no (ng a truat. The industry had not arrived at the trust stage. That stage ia reached only when an Industry has become so developed that it is able to overstock the homo market. Then competition sets in and it is no longer possible to hold prices up to tho tariff level other wise than by combination. Then the trust comes in and enables the pro tected captains of industry to exact their full pound of flesh. It is thus that the tariff breeds trusts by rupplylng the motive for their or ganization. Tho protectionists have been telling tho people that their sys tem reduces prices In the long run through competition nmong the pro tectees. They havo been telling a false hood, for the trust steps in and throt tles competition, while the tariff en ablca It to practice extortion. Thia is not less true of tho tin plate Industry than of nnv other, for it is still in en joyment of plenty of protection. It Is not true,' as tho McKinley organ wouli hnvo Its rcadera believe, that the now law hao deprived that induatry of pro tection. If tho stage of renl competi tion haa been reached, which probably Is not the case, tho tariff motive to organize a trust for the practice of ex tortion has como into play, just aa it ban in a score or moro of industries which aro at ill much too considerately protected.--CM-ngo Chronicle. Tim Unlti'il 'Milton of T. It. UpimI. An esteemed republican contempo rary statos that Speaker Reod is op posed to the admission of any new stateB with trilling population at this timo and ia said to bo using his influ ence with tho committee on territorlon to withhold a report In favor of the ad mission of Arizona and New Mexico, with four fccnators to offset New York and Illinois, when tho treaty with Mex ico only promised to admit Now Mexico, which included Arizona, as one state. To bay that Speaker Reed has influ ence with a commltteo of his creation is to descrlbo his power and autocracy in the mlldost of terms. If Mr. Reod hns decided that Now Mexico shall not bo admitted ac a state of the union un less consolidated with Arizona tho mat ter Is settled. Mr. Reod is tho house of representatives. It may be said at tbj-j juncture that Mr. Reod Is tho congrosa of tho United Statos. Tho houto is pe culiarly his proporty. It daro debate nothing that he docldos shall not bo do bated.

Warner Miller, who is in Chicago, stntcs as a settled fact that the Nica ragua canal will bo constructed. There would be no objection in the world to Mr. Warner Miller's taking tho funds necessary from subscriptions made for tlie purpose, and, under tho auspices of the company of which ho is president, constructing tho Nicaragua canal and relying for reimbursements upon tlie tolls that would be received from tho commerce of tho world for its use. In so far his project is commend able. But Mr. Warner Miller has tried that plan and is forced to give It up aa be yond bis capacity. He turns then, as the Pacifies turned thirty years ago, to the government of the United States, and Bays with tho utmost plausibility, "We have this concession. Give us your credit and you can have our righta In tho premises. Back us with unnum bered millions, and you shall have re imbursement." Therein Mr. Warner Miller is wrong. Tho government of the United Statn has no right to enter upon the canal business. It is particularly warned against venturing in Mr. Warner Mil ler's enterprise by the outcome of its venture with the Pacific roads. Were congress so foolish at this time as to make the desired grant Mr. Miller might become, as his fellow senator, Stanford of California, became, many times a millionaire, but the people of tho United States would suffer. Tho whole project hinges upon a cer tain control by Miller and bis associ ates. Their concession must be had. They must be reimbursed according to their opinion of the value of the pro ject. The United States would bo fool hardy to go into any such ruinous ex periment; yet the Reed congress will undoubtedly do for Warner Millor all that he asks. Chicago Chronicle. Itiiynril mill l'reo Spprrli. The congress of the United States might have had months ago all that It inquired for from the state department concerning certain utterances of Am bassador Bayard. Tho liouso, however, has the whole subject-matter as presented from the department of state. Now that it may peruse Mr. Bayard's address to the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh at its leisure, what Is It going to do? It won't chop off Mr. Bayard's head. It can't silence Mr. Bayard's tongue. It can continuo its bluster nnd threaten-to impeach him for high crimes and mis demeanors, but it is not, however, ad mitted in tho United States that free dom of speech is a crime, even a misde meanor. What Mr. Bayard said he may repeat with propriety anywhere in the world, for what he said was a simple truth. The house at Washington is com posed of such men an Chicago is well acquainted with Lorimers, Wood mans, Whites and tho like. These dis port themselves aa far as the speaker will permit. Their opinion of tho pa triotism and Intelligence of Thomas F. Bayard would not bo worth stating to any society, philosophical or other, at Edinburgh or any other place. If Mr. Reed, who is the house of rep resentatives, pushes tho ' matter, then the republican party will be fully re sponsible for as dastardly an attempt at menace of a free man as legislators havo over proposed.
