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.

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,

to do with tho breaking up of families
bo early in llfo than any other ono
thing. A steady diot of "hog and hom

Dr. Vaughn n, dean of tho medical fac

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

The shores of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota on the big lake are traversed
by railways and telegraph linos, and

Amorienn side of tho inko, oven -to tho

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.

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.

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. Ex.

KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY,
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS.,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofu'a
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He lias nosv in his
possession over two hundred lertificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when tlie right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts -being
stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read tiie label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you ca.i get, and enough of it
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all uruggisis.
