| “WHAR DEW | CUM IN?” (Being the Soliloquy of a Farmer on the Free Raw Sugar Question.) “Thar's a mighty lot er talkin’ about farmers ’n thar rights, 'N the wonderful prosperity thet beet growin’ invites. ‘Thar’s a heap er foolish crowin’ ’n the ‘beats’ begin ter shout ‘n holler fer.the Tariff ter keep free raw sugar out! But I notis thet the beet-producin’ An’ the farmers through the countr ‘ i The hull land ain't a-raisin’ beets, farms are very few, ain’t goin’ ter begin, Beet growin’s right fer sum, I guess—but, whar dew J cum in? Bhe farmer gits four dollars now fer every ton 0’ beets— A’hansom price, I must allow—but hidin’ sum deceits. sugar manyfacterers admit es they hev found Thet “granylated” costs ‘em sumthin’ like tew cents a pound. In fact thet leaves a profit on which they'd greatly thrive— And—if it kin be sold fer three, why should we pay 'em FIVE? It seems ter me es thet’s a game thet’s mighty like a skin— But—if thar’s any benefit—wadl,—whar dew J cum in? When Uncle Sam's in want o’ cash we're glad ter help him out, "N we'll stand all the taxes thet are needed, never doubt, But when his pocket-book Et seems ter me his duty’ 's well lined an’ nary cent he lacks, ter repeal thet sugar tax, Them fellers wot is interested sez its to protect The beet-producin’ farmer thet the duty they collect, But I guess thet explanation 1 little bit too thin— The sugar maker,—/e’s all right ;—but—whar dew we cum in? Take off raw sugar duty an’ the price will quickly fall, To everybody's benefit, fer sugar’s used by all. The poor will bless the Government thet placed it in thar reach— (’n millions of our citizens free sugar now beseech) The dealer ‘Il be delighted—! More demand 'n bigger profi s expenditure fer him— which at present are but slim. An’ the farmer ‘Il be as well paid as he ever yet hes ben— But he'll buy his sugar cheaper—thet’s whar he an’ I'll cum in. Now, whar’s the sense er reason of the sugar tax to-day, When our treasury’s a-bulgin’ an’ we hev no debts ter pay? The duty on raw sugar’s Fifty million every year— An’ the people's got ter pay it—thet’s a fact thet’s very clear. Fifty million! Great Jerusha! Ter protect beet magnates, too, Why should they tax ALL the people—just ter help a scattered FEW? And the FEW? Beet-sugar MAKERS! Don’t it really seem a sin Thus ter help an’ fill thar coffers? The farmer growin’ beets hes got a contract price fer years,— Free raw sugar wouldn’t hurt him, an’ of it he hes no fears. Whar dew you an’ I cum in? But mebbe, like myself—he’s also growing fruit so nice— Ter preserve it—at a profit—he needs sugar—at a price! The repealing of the duty surely cuts the price in two— Thet'll make a mighty difference, neighbor, both ter me an’ you! Let the sugar manyfactrer make such profits as he kin— Ter him it may seem right enuff—but whar dew I cum in? ‘An’ I ain't a-goin’ ter swaller all the argyments they shout Thet the farmers need protection—an’ must bar raw sugar out. Common sense is plainly showin’ that the people in the land Want raw sugar free in future—an’ its freedom will demand. *Tis a tax no longer needed—hateful to the public viéw,— Taxing millions of our people to enrich a favored few. They can’t blind me any longer with the foolish yarns they spin— While they’re busy makin’ money—whar dew you and I come in? I’m a-goin’ ter keep on hustlin’, talkin’, pleadin’ with my frends,— Ain't no sense in lettin’ others gain thar selfish privet ends. I’m a-goin’ ter write ter-morrer to my Congressman ’nd say Thet he oughter do his best ter kill that tax without delay! Feller-farmers, do your utmost—whether you grow beets or n-f To repeal the tax on sugar—you can but improve your lot! Cheaper sugar helps your pocket, greater blessings you can win— ‘When we've three-cent granylated—that’s whar you an’ I come in!” Wholly Accidental. “Does Ferguson own an automobile?” “No. Poor fellow!

Especially is this the case with people that have work but part of the time, The writer knows many people whose lives have been spent largely in waiting for jobs to turn up, and yet never stopped to think that their waste time could be utilized to good advantage by having some thing like poultry raising on which to fall back. This is true many times with people living on the farm. One cause of non- success in many cases is that the farm- er about kills himself with work at one time of year and has nothing to do the rest of the time. No man liv- ing in the city, or, at least, no business man depending on his labor for an in- come, would think it possible to suc- ceed without occupying his time very fully. Many a young man or young woman on the farm might in a few years make enough money to give themselves a college education would they but devote their spare time to poultry culture. see Turkey raising is a business of which the farmer has a monopoly. We know of no person in the cities that has made a success of turkey raising, for the reason that free range is there impossible. As yet. the instinct to roam has not been bred out of the turkey. This largely accounts for the fact that turkey meat is generally higher in price than the meat of any other kind of fowls. Since the farmer has a monopoly of the business, it is one that should receive his closest at- tention. As yet turkey breeding for characteristics is only in its infancy. We imagine’ that the annual yield of eggs can be very greatly increased by careful selection of the best laying strains. Perhaps some one may eveD find a strain of turkeys that will pro- duce eggs from which the poults will stand being reared in a brooder. eee Some of the men that make a busi- ness of rearing chicks for broilers do so without ever having the care of hens. They depend entirely on eggs purchased from others. They claim to be more careful to exclude the hen from their brooder establishments than even the prowling animals that like to feed on chicks. The objection to the hen is that she brings lice with her, and the lice once introduced are almost impossible to exterminate. This fact of the persistence of lice is one well known to poultry raisers. A sin- gle louse may be the progenitor of mil- lions in a short time and their very multitudes and high rate of increase make them almost invincible. Inspection of Export Dairy Products. The act of Congress making appro- priations for the U. S. department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, contains the following paragraph in the section relating to the general work of the bureau of ani- mal industry: Provided, That the secretary of ag- riculture may construe the provisions of the act of March 3, 1891, as amend- ed March 2, 1895, for the inspection of live cattle and products thereof, to in- clude dairy products intended for ex- portation to any foreign country, and may apply, under rules and regula tions to be prescribed by him, the pro- visions of said act for inspection and certification appropriate for ascertain- ing the purity and quality of such products, and may cause the same to be so marked, stamped or labeled as to secure their identity and make known in the markets of foreign countries to which they may be sent from the United States, their purity, quality and grade; and all the pro- visions of said act relating to live cat- tle and products thereof for export shall apply to dairy products so in- spected and certified. Discretionary authority is thus giv- en to the secretary of agriculture to inaugurate and regulate this new in- spection service, says the American Cheesemaker. In the exercise of this discretion, Secretary Wilson has de- cided to make a beginning in the cus- toms districts of Boston, New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Dalry Temperament. By “Dairy Temperament” is meant a strong overruling pre-disposition or tendency to turn the consumption of food towards the production of milk with a high content of solids, espe- cially butter fat, as against the con- stitutional tendency so often seen to turn food into flesh. Even. in the strongest dairy breeds there are more or less frequent out-crops in male and female of the flesh-making tempera- ment. To breed from such animals, while we are striving to establish a prepotent dairy temperament or tend- ency, is not wise. All cattle bred spe- cifically for dairy purposes should pos- sess a clear and decided dairy tempera- ment, for it is that quality of character we most desire to establish, enlarge and perpetuate in the Guernsey cow. This is especially indicated by the shape of the head, showing brain ca. pacity, wide muzzle, epen nostrils, full bright eyes, feminine neck, and a con- struction of the back bone indicating a strong flow of nerve power and sup- port from the brain to all of the mater- ual organs.—W. H. Caldwell, Nearly all root crops, as beets, car- rots, potatoes, are kept over Winter with ease by burying them in the field. It is well to choose a warm and weil- drained soil. It is important that the pit be covered very lightly at first, and more covering added as the cold weather comes on. If the full amount of covering is applied at first the prod- ucts are likely to heat, and decay will set in. It is a part of my religion never to hurt any man’s feelings—W. D. How- ard, The Bishop Parishioner. It is told of Frederick Temple, now archbishop of Canterbury, that when he was Bishop of London he was ex- amining theological students on the matter of parish calls, ani offered him- self as ay object-leeson for such a call. He went into the next room and lay down on a sofa, with his face to the wall, and a young Irishman, whose lot it was, entering directly afier, walked up to him, laid his hand on Dr. Tem- ple’s shoulder, and said: “Ah, Freder- ick, Frederick!—the drink again!” ° Artific! Larnyx Used. The latest achievement in surgery is an artificial larnyx. The patient using it was presented before the Academy of Medicine. He was able to eat and Speak. The apparatus consisted of 4 vulcanite reproduction of a larynx ad- apted above the trachea. A rubber di- aphram replaces the glottis. It vi- brates, but gives only one note. The patient’s speech is, therefore, mono- tone. A metallic grating prevents the ingress of solid food. Liquid food falls into a funnell, and is conducted to the oseophagus.

Most people imagine | that it is «. mere difference in spelling, but a correspondent writes that, in an- sSwer to a written order for whisky, given to a spirit merchant, Scotch was sent. This led to a personal interview with the seller, at which it was pointed out that the customer always bought Irish, never Scotch. The order was re- ferred to, and the merchant, placing his finger on the word whisky, said, with- out an “e” it denoted Scotch; if Irish was required the spelling should be whiskey. It would be interesting to know why “‘e” should spell “Irish.”— London Chronicle.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the iseased portion of the ear. There is only one way tocure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies. Deafness 1s caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed ou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrl which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. ‘We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, Send for circulars, free.
