Thcuse of the colors of animals to protect them is one of the highly in tqrestinjj subjects which has been de- veloped by r 5each and discussion in the last fcv. ycaw, but less attention has been p i 1 to the equally interest- in? s.;be-t of tho use of colors in - fruits'. " It is a. highly suggestive fact that until the seeds of a plant are ripe ' its fruit rem :ins tfie tame color as its leaves, anil i& therefore effectually con ,, coaled. Hut as soon as the seeds are ready for distribution by birds or an imals which feed on the fruit the color of the fruit becomes brilliant in many plants, while in all it is in marked contrast to tho color of the leaves. MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO; Whera Are You Going This Summer? Now that summer is here, and warm weather is near at hand, the great num ber of people who have acquired the . habit of wending the "hot speli" in aime cooler place than home, are be ginning to plan as to where they will 4o. It has been demonstrated that people living in hfsh altitudes should j?o to the "ashore, and people living in low altitudes should go to the moun tains; and "tl. mountains" has come to mean Colorado, because there is found more in the way of recreation 7 mi pleasure than in any other locality. II would fill much space to name the many places which possess attractions, but any of the many points on the Denver & Rio Grande railway will be round pleasing to tourists. Trout fish- ins is probably the most enjoyable 5,prrt to be pursued, because it can be had with less trouble, annoyance and . e';i 'ase than any other, but the sports man who is willing to undertake the .extra hardships of going after bear. . deer, elk and other wild animals that abound, can satisfy his ambition to the .fullest extent. Thoj-c who prefer less : laborious amusement for the summer, ".as a visit, at J he springs, resorts, etc., can be equally well pleased at the .numerous places of the kind. For , thofce who wish to unite business with pleasure, is open the opportunity of prospecting or investing in Colorado . -mines, and in this direction no place promises such nattering returns. The mining interests, while hiving already yielded enormous wealth, are only in their infancy, and every day shows the discovery of rich values never before suspected, and it Is becoming prover bial that the "tenderfoot" "strikes it" as frequently as the practical miner. The latter looks only for tho particu- lar rock that he knows bears fruit, while the former tests everything he finds and often disepvers the mineral where the "old timer" has run over it. You will make no mistake in going to Colorado for your summer outing. F. P.. Baker. , Wli.i'.fh less.

M PUSHING THE TARIFF THE DINCLEY BILL, THE CHIEF SUBJECT OF INTEREST. Werkla Veai Faraaen ArslaK PaMC iMpertcrs aa FOTrixaien FIhtlaic It A Great Booa far tfce Warklas; People. The only persons who are expressing dissatisfaction with the new tariff bill are the foreigners and importers. Ger many, Canada, England and other for eign countries are scolding about the Dingley bill; so is the Reform Club of New York, which is made up principal ly of importers. The chief objection offered to the bill is that it is a bill. The people want it to become an act and that very promptly. Capital Awaltlat; Iavestaaeat. Millions of capital is now awaiting the action of Congress on the 'tariff bill. Its enactment will be a signal for activity among the factories of the east, and the beet growing sections of the west, in the cotton fields and fac tories of the south, in the manufactur ing establishments of the Mississippi valley and on the fertile fields of the Pacific slope. Earnings Already Increasing. One hundred thousand dollars a day is a neat sum to add to the earnings of the working people of one state In six months' time. The Labor Bureau of Pennsylvania reports one hundred thousand more men employed in that state today than were so employed prior to the election of McKinley. This means one hundred thousand dollars a day increased earnings by them, to say nothing of the Increased wages paid to those who were employed, or working on short time. Multiply this by the number of states or by their propor tionate populations and you, get a prac tical demonstration of the Improve ment going on in business since the election of last November, which, as sured a protective tariff and increase in employment The Free Coinage Democrats Depressed. Ex-Candidate Bryan, who has been in Washington the last few days, ad mitted to his friends that the silver developments of the past few months have been very damaging to the cause. Had they occurred in the five months preceding it, the collapse of their sil ver proposition would have been much more complete and crushing than it was. Japan, Russia and China, to which they constantly referred as the chief props in support of their silver theories, have all, since the election, announced their desertion of the sil ver standard. This leaves Mexico and South American countries about the only ones now maintaining the stand ard of the white metal and several of these are making preparations to go to the gold standard as quickly as pos sible. It was a mean thing on the part of the people of the empire of Japan to let the people of the United States go all through the agonies of the campaign, looking to them as a great silver peo ple, when they had already made up their minds to adopt the gold standard.. The latest advices from that country show that the proposition for the adop tion of the gold standard had been un der consideration for two years and that the officials of the nation had practically determined to adopt it dur ing the very time that the people of this country were looking upon them as the most ardent advocates of silver. A hint as to their plans would have saved much of the worry and speech making in the late election in the United States. Mad Importers. The importers of the country are mad as so many wet hens. They expected to make millions out of their excessive importations prior to the final enact ment of the Dingley bill, but the re trospectic clause introduced at the last moment and passed by the house has upset their plans completely. Their hope of being able to import hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods during the discussion of the bill in the senate is gone, and they will not be likely to add materially to the enor mous stocks of goods which they had already brought in to escape payments of increased rates of duties. The South for Protection. No tariff bill ever passed in Congress received as many southern votes as did the one which has just passed the house. Twenty-five republicans, five democrats and one populist, from the south, supported the Dingley bill in the house, and the other populists from that section declined to vote against it. Protection in the south has made won derful strides in the last few years and will continue in the same line. Factory smoke breeds republicanism. The springing up of factories through out the south has been followed by. a growth of protective sentiment and re publican membership in congress from that section. More than thirty votes from the south were cast for a protec tive tariff measure in the house and the southern states had thirty-three republican members in last congress, while in no preceding congress had the party been represented by more than half that number from that section. WhenDemocrats from North anil Smith Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi ana and Texas joined with the repub licans in supporting protective views and a protective tariff bill, there can remain no doubt of the growth of ro- publican principles in that section. G. H. WILLIAMS. Prosperity Is Retaining. Prosperity cannot be restored to this country in a day, in a year or per hips for several years. To understand this fully, we -should consider the great obstructions which lie in the pathway of those who have undertaken the her culean task of restoring the country to its normal conditions. The path way tO SUCCeSS In this effort is render. ed almost impassable by the wreckage or our industries; the arteries of trade and commerce are choked up with for eign and deleterious substances? the very life blood of the nation Is pol- sonea witn potions administered by alien enemies. We stand at the dead line nf na tional bankruptcy and general demor alization. True, we have retraced our steps, under the guidance of a wise and skillful leader. But It Is always easier to descend than to ascend a hilL It Is a long and tedious road to the summit of Mount Prosperity.. It was a good deal easier for the Israelites to get into Egypt than to get out again. So it was a good deal easier to ruin our industries than it will be to rehabilitate them. Yet we have a Moses who will lead us safely through the Red Sea, and although the journey to the promised land may be attend ed with many dangers and hardships, and though a silver calf may be set up to seduce people away from the true waj or brazen serpents may be set up to avenge disobedience, our intrepid leader will smite the rock for the thirs ty, and, if we are guided by the light of faith and intelligence, we shall event- nally reach the land of corn and wine. Cleveland World. i i Japan aad Silver. In adopting a monetary system which will keep both gold and silver in circulation, Japan has destroyed the frightful proportions of the scare which the advocates of free . silver coin age had prepared by representing that by .being on a silver basis Japan would capture our markets if we did not adopt silver monometallism, which Mr. Bryan mistakes for bimetallism. A year ago quite a number of people, were mystified by the story of the great prosperity of Japanese manufacturers under a silver basis, and it was said that the same prosperity would come to us if we should legislate so that silver would be the monetary stand ard. Japan was paying mcch less wages in silver than was being paid in gold in the United States. Under such conditions there could be no mystery in the statement that the manufacturers of cotton goods In Japan could make very much more money to each thousand spindles than was be ing made by manufacturers paying more wages on the gold basis. It was not the mysterious potency of silver which caused manufacturers to thrive in Japan, but the plain fact that In paying wages In silver they paid In money of half purchase power. The manufacturers who have a market and pay only a quarter as much wages as their competitors will make money where the others will fail. And that was the reason for the prosperity in Japan for the limited number having capital invested in cotton mills. But for the thousands who workedin the mills nothing was said, but people were left to infer that they shared this prosperity when, as a matter of fact, they worked for very low wages and subsisted on rice and on otherwise scanty diet All this has been changed. Japan has declared for the coinage of both metals on the ratio of 33 to 1. The value of the silver wages of a year ago has been doubled. Indianapolis Jour nal. It Gaards Great Interests. In the arrangements necessary to secure sufficient revenue the commit tee, it 'is gratifying to know, has not lost sight of the relations of a wise tariff system to the attainment of the highest possible material life of the nation. The framing of a tariff in one sense is the building of -the nation. A bill of this kind should be so con structed as to secure the nation in times of war, both in its means of defense and of industrial independ ence. It should consider its position among other nations. It should en deavor to encourage all the arts which fortify, enrich and adorn, give em ployment in skilled labor and extend in every possible way the comfort and welfare of all the people. To show how momentous to these interests are the questions involved in such a tariff revision as that just completed by the ways and means committee I have pre pared a statement of the productive Industrials of the country for five de cades, all of which are affected in some way by the bill under consideration. Until the sudden revulsion of our in dustrial progress, soon after the advent of the free trade administration, March 1S93, our industrial advance had been as follows: Number Wages Value of Year.

Robert P. Porter. Kngland Don't Like It. The soul of the London Times is har rowed up because the United States Is about to make "a long backward stride." What we are about to do is going to result in "serious annoyance and derangement of business for ex porters, as well as a corresponding loss for Americans themselves." This is what makes it so bad, we are all going to ruin together. The trouble is that v.e are about to enact another tariff law on protective lines. We have done this before and always have stirred up the British lion by doing it Not to go very far back in our history, when the McKinley law of 1890 was passed, the London Times and other free trade interests foresaw destruction of thi3 great republic. Our history tells that the McKinley tariff act did not destroy the country; on the contrary it was under that law that we saw tfie very best times in the history of the country. It is easy to understand what is the matter with John Bull. He is nursing an acute case of disappointment. The Democrats have disappointed him some by not going the full length of the tether, but he consoled himself with their promise to go further the next time. They promised him to carry the election of 1896, after which they were going to give him some more big slices off the large American loaf. In the making of the Republican tar iff bill, which has a good prospect to become a law, John Bull realizes the full measure of his bitter disappoint ment. The hand of Dingley is not the hand of Wilson, nor does President Mc Kinley share the tariff views of Presi dent Cleveland. Wheeling Intelli gencer. All Industries Ask Protection. For the first time since 1816 every employment of the American people is united in a common recognition of the importance and value of a reasonable discrimination by our laws In favor of our own people the farmer, because nearly everything that he has for sale must be sold here or not sold at All; the manufacturer, because he has found it impossible to sell home-made goods In a market place that has al ready bought itself poor at the "bar gain counters" of Europe and Asia; and commerce, because a nation like this that goes past the closed doors and broken window-lights of its own factories to the end of the earth for what It buys. Is in a condition that is completely fatal to all commerce, do mestic and foreign. Congressman Dolllver in House of Representatives. A Firmer Policy la Caba. It seems quite evident that we are to fcave a new Cuban policy, or at least a new method of construing and applying the old one. The Cleveland policy was pre-eminently one of peace, and In his anxiety to avoid trouble with Spain he went to the very verge of neglecting the rights of American citizens. The Spanish authorities must have grown very bold in their disre gard of 'the rights of American citi zens to have called forth the recent dispatches of Consul General Lee, urg ing the government to support him and prodding it to do its duty. It is evidently the purpose of the new ad ministration to make a change in this regard. Its policy will be one of peace and non-intervention,, but it wiU aot Include neglect of the rights of aay kuvann ol.lmlnv in he u AaBavlMas citizen. Indianapolis JouraaL la the Interests of Haass To build up the American manufac ture of woolen goods has been one of the hardeat'tasks met in all the thirty six years of protection. It is the -Judgment of the ablest and most experi enced men, after many years of only partial success, that there has merer been a tariff on woolens which had not weak and vulnerable points. A duty nf 50 ner cent on steel rails cannot be evaded. But a duty of 10 per cent on many kinds of woolen ciotns is or no effect whatever, if the foreign maker can produce what appears to the ordi nary consumer the very same cloth, by use of shoddy, at half former cost It Is the deliberate purpose of the Ding ley bill to make impossible this de struction of American manufacture by importations of swindling products of shoddy. New York Tribune. The Wall of the Magwamps. The Mugwump press profess great Indignation over the Republican pro gram to pass a new tariff" law. Those gentlemen who are too good to unite with any political party say that Dem ocratic McKinley votes were won by false pretenses, that they were swin dled, etc. These assertions are with out the least foundation. The platform upon which McKinley stood declared most emphatically for protection. Not another plank in the platform was more distinct and emphatic. That plat form declared emphatically and unmis takably in favor of "the policy of pro tection." Youngstown Telegram. The Dingley Tariff. The punctual passage of the Ding ley tariff by a solid republican vote Is something more than mere proof of the excellence of the party dis cipline. It is more than proof of ad mirable party leadership. It is a token of the splendid unity of pur pose of the republican congress men, who, differing, perhaps, as to some details of the Dingley bill, are one In their loyal approval of its great principles and purposes. This absolute unanimity in support of a measure so complicated and so im portant is extraordinary in the annals of legislation. Boston Journal. Democratic Tariff a Fallare. The Democratic party which is crit icising the Dingley bill could do so with some effect perhaps if It had ever framed a tariff bill which brought eith er revenue or protection. The trouble with Democratic tariffs Is they are good for neither one thing nor the oth er. Nobody can tell what they were framed for. It Is a difficult task to de vise a bill which will produce both revenue and protection, but intelligent, unbiased persons will be apt to accept the Republicans' opinion that this measure will do both these things. St. Louis Globe-Democrat Tarn the Thumbscrews on the Senate. It Is on the senate that public at tention must now be concentrated. The inherent, exasperating procrastination of that unwieldy body must be over come by the irresistible pressure of popular sentiment The effort of the rabid free trade opposition will be to prolong the debate on every conceiva ble pretext and postpone the return of the general prosperity which Is sure to deal the final death blow to the free trade propaganda. This fatuous policy of delay cannot be tolerated. There Is too much at stake. Boston Journal. Wilson Making faces. Professor Wilson, who once had a tariff bill of his own which his party in congress slashed all to pieces, re sulting in the famous production de nounced for its "perfidy and dishonor" by President Cleveland, who refused to sign it, is out with a criticism of the new republican measure. This is much like the small boy sitting on the fence and making faces at those who are successfully tackling a job at which, he has ignominously failed. Ex change. Why the German Kick. The Germans in Germany are not iu favor of the Dingley tariff bill, which is the expression of the protective policy of the McKinley administration. Why this opposition? Simply because the German manufacturers prefer to have us for customers, and are sharply against our management of our own affairs so as to give our manufacturers protection against foreign labor and our farmers markets at home. Come to think of it, it is very simple. Stand ard Union. The impetus given to beet sugar growing in this country is not likely to glut the market. It will be a long time before the people of the United States can produce sugar as fast as they can consume it. MEN OF MARK.

Sheep cam stand any amount of coM ixr weather, because they are clad la tha warmest of woolen icoods, hut soak this' op with water and it will soon cause disease and death in the flock. ys a writer in Kansas Parmer. Go oat aad Jump Into the pond your self, and then lie down till the warmth of the body dries the moisture all ap, aad you will see how it goes yourself. A perfect roof and a well-drained yard Is a necessity with sheep. As I always have my lambs dropped in February and March. I find it con realent to feed the lambs by them selves, so in one corner of my shed I havs a "lamb creep." It Is made Iambs can go in at will, while the grown sheep cannot, and shelled corn and other feed is kept' in there for the Iambs. A Jamb will cut its jaw teeth on shelled corn, and when only one week old will consume a quantity that is simply surprising. It is said that sheep do not need water. This is a mistake. They should be regu larly watered with clean water, and thus avoid indigestion. and other trou bles. One ram for 100 ewes is sufficient He should be well fed with a rotation of palatable food that would not cause him to get too fat, but would give him strength and vigor. The usual way is to keep the. ram up in the day time and allow him with the flock at night As all of my lambs are dropped before grass comes, this happens in the ward or shed, where care can be readily supplied. When the lambs come later on, when the pasture is green, It takes the constant cave of a shepherd with the flock, .or else many lambs will get lost, and many more disowned by their dams. This Is a risk I cannot af ford to run, and the man who practices this will probably tell you that he does not raise many lambs, has no luck, and that there Is no money in sheep. This is another of the little details of the business, and Is a large factor in the net receipts from the flock. When a man tells you he raises thirty lambs from twenty ewes, you can set it down that they were dropped in the shed when he could give them his personal care, when the rush of plowing and planting had not yet arrived. Dur ing lambing time I usually visit the shed just before I retire and as soon as I get up in the morning, some times in the night also. Most every morning one or more pairs of twins will be found, and these, with their dams, must be carefully removed from the rest of the flock for several days. I divide my sheep yard by a fence, and cause the hay rack to make the divi sion in the shed, and the young lambs and their mothers are kept on one side by themselves, and yet they are In the same shed and eat out of the same troughs and rack that they have been always used to. This is another im portant little thing, as to remove a ewe from the rest will cause her to be uneasy, easily frightened and always worried. rne first two hours of a Iamb's life are the important ones, and if you see that they have sucked and are quite dry they are all right Twen ty good ewes ought to drop thirty to forty lambs, and while some will be lost, yet a large mortality is unneces sary if one understands his business. When Iambs are dropped early, when the sheep are confined to the yard, and also when sheep arc well fed on milk producing food, the ewe will rarely disown her lamb, but should this occur, or you wish to put a lamb on another sheep, the two must be separated from the rest, then put some pine tar on the ewe's nose and the top of the Iamb's bead, and the scent being the same as the one constantly in the ewe's nose she will usually own it. Any strong scent, such as turpentine, camphor, etc., will do, and I have often simp! used the ewe's milk to rub on, with success. Slannrlal Value of Feed Staffs. ' It Is not an easy matter to determin in which of the various forms we can most economically supply the fertiliz ing material necessary for the growing i ops. We realize that the form most u:e rally adapted is that of the pre .tred fertilizers and the increase in the .uanufacture and sale of these goods from year to year indicates that the oods are used at a profit, for if not i hey would not be so regularly and ex tensively purchased. Notwithstanding this fact, however, we fear the manur lal value of feeding stuffs of various Kinds is not appreciated by the farmers as it should be. The amount of nitro gen, potash and phosphoric acid in one ton of ordinary gluten feed would cost over $11 in the form of commercial fer tilizers, gluten meal $15, malt sprouts $13, dried brewers' grains $12, wet ditto $3, wheat bran $12, rye bran $10, wheat middlings $9.50, wheat shorts $7.50, buckwheat middlings $5, cottonseed meal $24, cottonseed hulls $3.25, linseed meal $19 to $20, while corn, oat and barley meal or various combinations of these grains figure from $5 to $6.50 per ton in manurial value, and pea meal nearly $11. If all the solid and liquid excrement from stock fed with these articles is carefully saved, It is gene rally estimated that three-fourths of their manurial value is got back in the manure. Big Poultry Farm. Farm Poultry says that Isaac Wilbur, of Little Co nip ton, R. I has the largest poultry farm in the world. He ships from 130,000 to 150.000 dozen eggs a year. He keeps his fowls on the colony plan, housing about forty in a house 8x10 or 8x12 feet in size, these houses being about 150 feet apart, set out in long rows over the gently sloping fields. He has 100 of these houses, scattered over three or four fields. The food is loaded into a low wagon, which is driven about to each house in turn, the attendant feed ing as he goes; at the afternoon feed ing the eggs are collected. The fowls are fed twice a day. The morning food is a mash of cooked vegetables and mixed meals; this mash is made up the afternoon of the day before. The aft ernoon feed Is whole corn the year round. Selection of Pullets. A writer in an exchange says when selecting the young pullets, bear in mind that any lack of vigor in them while they are small is evidence that they will not be hardy when fully matured. Hardi ness is everything with a flock, for if any of the old or young stock cannot pass through the warmer seasons of the year with perfect freedom from disease, they will not prove profitable as layers next winter. The getting of eggs from the hens during the cold weather depends on the selection and management of the pullets in the sum mer and fall. Wornout Pastures. Advice on re newing wornout native pastures, from the United States department of agri culture, is briefly put as follows: L Keep from overstocking. -2. When the soil begins to get baked and packed, stir it up with & harrow. 3. Give oc casional light top dressings of well rotted stable manure. 4. Fill in thin spots with hardy tame or wild grasses before the weeds get a start 5. Keep the weeds mowed off bo that the grass rs may get the benefit of all the plant food there Is in the soil. m Health cannof sxist with filth. . SHATTERED, THB PrtBCAltlOUS CONDITION OP PROP. A. H.

The la grippe, that dread disease that had sack a ram throughout thtoaatry three or foar years since, left suny who were previously hi robust health, with shattered constitatiOBS and seesalogly con firmed invalids. Prof. A. H. Nye, living at No. 3900 OUvo Street, Cedar Falls, Iowa, was among the number left in a precarioas condition by the disease. No strength, feet and limbs badlv swoleu, in fact almost helpless. Prof! Nye is a native of New York State, having come west in 1685 a healthy, ro bust man.

He tried the best medical skill procurable, and spent most of his ready means in the vain endeavor to re cover his health, and had about given up completely discouraged. He stopped tak ing medicine, being' folly convinced in his own mind that that there was no help for him, and that he would havo to spend tho balance of his days as an Invalid, a burden to family aad friends. 8ome one who had heard of Dr. William's Pink Pills, spoke to him about them and urged to give them a trial. His poor success with eminent phy sicians made him skeptical and he had no faith in what was called proprietary med icine, and would not listen to this advice f c r some days. The friend being persistent, uowevcr, and having faith in the Pink Pills, would not let up until he had finally prevailed upon the sufferer to send for a box, which he reluctantly did, and after re ceiving them decided to give them a fan ti ijl.
