The ACTUAL Effect of the Bill Now Presented for Consideration.
$McKinley has succeeded well in eliminating "Cheap Goods" (as he said) from the market.
. A comprehensive comparison of the prices of goods one year ago with those of To-D ay. shows that the ad
vance inmost corresponds almost exactly with the increase in duties. And yet they say that the Tariff does
not Affect Prices. High prices are a natural and inevitable effect of increased Duties. Now we bought
very heavily before the Bill passed because we knew there was money to be saved for you and for us, and if we
had waited we should be compelled to pay about 1-3 more for goods. We have $7,500 worth of. clothing of
every variety bought in solid cases because we knew the same goads would be advanced 33 1-3 per cent. Over
coats from $1.25 up, Boots and Shoes, Dry Goods and Notions, Hardware and Crockery are sold by us now at
Wholesale i rices.
We announce the engagement of Mrs. Kate Fix Thompson, the popular and fashionable milliner of Bur
lington, who will have charge of our Millinery Departments at both stores. Her. well established reputa
tion together with our methods of doing business will assure you of the perfection of this department.

When pigs are teiug rapidly grown
care must be exercised that they are
receiving food of the right kind to
make bone and muscle to carry the fat
that will be laid later on. If fed too
heavily on corn at an early age they
gel weak across the loins and the hiod
feet draw up close together, and the
piga are unable to rise without help.
Th object the first four or five month
should be, then, to grow bone and
muscle The brood bow and pigs must
have" pasture. Clover supplies the
most feed to the acre, but blue grass is
good, and even young timothy is not
to be despised. After the pig has
reached five months of age the ration
of corn can be increased, but not too
heavily at first. If the profit ix in the
first 250 pounds, the quicker you can
get your pig to that weight the better
after getting ou the corn ration. Good
feeding la regular feeding, and alljlhe
hogs will eat without losing their appetites.
The value ot different foods, as dem
onstrated by chemical analyst, is not
always borne oat in practice. The di
geotive and assimilative capacity of the
animal to which the food is fed cannot
be determined by tbe chemist, and on
these depend in a great measure the
results obtained by feeding. Consid
erable more feed will be found neces
sary for the maintenance ration of 100
pounds of "shark" than 100. pounds of
straight Poland China or Berkshire.
The small pig that consumed a pailful
of rich slop, to tbe surprise acd disgust
of hit owner, who when the pail was
empty, jammed tbe pig into it and
wore the pig didn't begin to fill the
pail, was taking nearly 100 per cent of
the food consumed for a maintenance
ration. If you desire to know how
much the food of support amooots to
in a pig that younpropo to sell at 200
pounds weight we will suppose that be
reaches that weight in 200 day. As
he increase from nothing to 200
pounds, then 100 is hi average 'Weight
for the entire time. And tbe amount
of food per dy that will bold bim at
100 pound without losing or gaining
will be tbe average food of support per
day forth entire 2U0 days. Iliaabont

that greater profits are made from feed
ing young animals than- from feediog
old one ; that no ooe food is as good
as a eombioatioa of foods ; " that good

Your outward life should he but the
manifestation and expression of the
temper which prevails within,' the act
ing out.of the sentiments which abide
there ; so that all who see you may un
derstand, without your saying it- in
wordf, how supremo with you is the
authority of conscience, how reverent
your attachment lo truth, bow Facred
your adherence to duty, how full of
good will to men, and how devoutly
submissive to God, the habitual tenor
of your mind. Your spontaneous, un
constrained action, flowing without
effort from your feelings, amid the
the events of evt-ry day, should be the
unavoidable.'expression.of a spirit im
bued with high and heavenward de
sires ; so, that, a in the ease of the
Apostles, "thoxe who saw -Ihem took
knowledge of them that .they had been
with Jesus," it may in like manner be
obvious that you have learned of that
Holy Teacht-r. And Ibis may be with
out any obtnuive dixpiay on you part,
without asking !for observation, with
out either ssying or hinting. "Come,
see.'my.zeaI.for tbe Lord." Tbe reign
of a good principle in tbe soul carries
ite owu evidence in tbe life, just as that
of a goon1 government is visible on tbe
face of society. A man of a disinter
ested and pious miud bear tbe signa
ture of it in bis whole deportment. His J
Lord's mark is on his forehead. We I
may say 'of bis inward principle, wblnh
au Apostle bos .called "Christ formed
within us," as was said of Christ him
self during bis benificent minis: ry;
it "cannot be hid." There is an at
mosphere of excellence about such a
man, which gives savor of bis goodness
to all who approach, and through
which the internal light of his soul
beam out upon all observers. Conse
quently, if you allow yourself in a de
portment inconsiateut with Christian
uprightness, propriety and chari'y.yon
are guilty of bringing cootradicloo
and disgrace on tbe principles woich
too profess ; you expose yoorIf to
ihe charge of hypocritically mahituin
ing truth to which you do not con
firm Ui yoorself. You duhooor your
religion by causing It to appear unequal

Economy In Grinding Fed.
Whatever mny have been the fact
years ago, sayB. the Prairie Farmer, it
will pay well to grind tbe feed on Ihe
farm now that perfect mills may en
able any intelligent lad . to operate.
Bo, too, when thero is enough feed
needed in connection with other work
requiring power, it is well to own an
engine and boiler. litre, again, so
simply and effective are some of the
modern engines, that but little atten
tion need be paid them- except to feed,
coal and oil the bearing, -as may be
necessary. lit other words, one per
son can attend to the engine and boiler
as well as the mill or the feed-cutter,
as the case may be.
Whether it pays to cook food is still
a mooted question. Our oxperienue
U, that it pays to cook food for bogs,
aud that grinding pays all the time,
especially for catUe aud bogs. Borne
years ago we made careful experiments
in this respect. With corn at forty
cents per buehel, the value of the fowl
ground made nearly as much tx-fcf as
two bushels fed-raw, and fed to bogs I
cooked we made fully two pounds
more of pork where tho feed was
ground than when fed from the er. '
But it is especially with youug
growing slock that we fiod tbe great
value of ground food. Corn is tbe
cheapest fattening fool, jibe grow
ing animal should have grain contain
ing bone and muscle-forming food.
Tbe grain may be mixed to' form a
perfect food. For tbe young and
grow lug animal equal part by, weight
of corn and ot oaU, or , barley, or of
light wheat, as tbe case may be, will
mak a good, practical ration for young
hoiac-s. cuttle, sheepand pigs. Except
ing the laat-oamed animals, there
should be mixed with tbe meal, its own
weight of cnopped bay, as a proper
divUor.
Tbe farmer who doe bis own grind
ing U at no cost of removing bi tram
to a mill, often distant, and bringing
it back ground. Neither dor be have
to pay cash toll fr griuding. Toe
actual coat for grinding, once tbe plant
is obtained, is almost rotbing, since it
may be done at odd lime, hen other
work U pot pressing. Or, again, sev
eral farmers may join aud own and
woik the grinding in eoromoo, whether
by bone-power or steam.
" I.le,nld fflnnnreo.
In Germany all animal liquids are
carefully perserved In ceineoted tanks
with slated covers, upon which the
dung is thrown every morning from
tbestubles. When Ihe pile gets very
dry some of the underlying liquid is
pumped over it to preveut it from
overheating. Roue other than liquid
manure is used there for gordon and
all hoed crops. It is also largely used
ass top dressing for gnfta, and tbe
beneficial results show themselves
much sooner tbnn on portions treated
witb solid excrement. This is partic
ularly the case on level, well drained
land. There exists a very prevalent
impression that top dressing leads to
much Idas through evaportion. With
the solid this may be so, but with
liquids it Is impossible, ; because they
find their way Immediately below the
surface, where tbe plant roots lay bold
on them. A recent, writer from War
teinburg alleges that he has reaped
belter crops and larger profits from tbe
use of liquldjmanure sometime alone,
sometimes in conjunction with the or
dinary stable solid than from that of
the uiofct highly reputed artificial manure.
Fertility of Wney.
Bcnl. tho Liberty Tree. .
There Is an oak tree on tho farm of
Mr. Burrel Moore, near Scalesville,
this county, that measures (it was
measured by Prof. J. B. Wharton) 21
fdet, 4 inches in circumference, being
over 10 feet in diameter. The brun
ches extend at right angels from tbe
body of the tree, 75 feet in each direc
tion, covering a space of ' 150 feet In
diameter, or nearly one half acre of
ground. Allowing 4 feet for each per
son , 6,000 people could stand under
tbe shade of tho tree af mid day. Mr.
Moore has also a vein of very fine iron
ore running through Ids farm. The
farm formerly belonged to tbe father
of Mr. W. S. Hill of this city. Greens

Choose a cool day for pick log applet,
and put them la a cool shed out of the
sun until they are barreled. The
moisture wbleb gathers uoon tbe sur
face of tbe fruit is the result of conden

apples are exposed to a higher temper

"He started out alone on horseback
once when ho was sheriff to capture
two horse thieves. : He was gone for a

Kit bad got the worst of a hard fight,
when he rode into town one evening.
" 'Where are your men. Kitf soma

"The sheriff pulled from bis belt

'I had sixty miles to ride back, and I

men maddened him ana he threw the

himself in the room with the others.

was too enraged to shoot them. He
wanted to punish them for daring to

The Time to fMndy Entoaaolnay.
"It is now the season of the year,"
said a Philadelphia scientist to a re
porter, "when the study of entomology
offers its greatest attractions. In the
country the woods and fields are per
fectly alive with lnoots and their va
riety is almost Infinite, Last summer I
watched a single plant for half an hour
arid in that short space of time 200
distinct kinds of insects settled on It,
while the surrounding air was full of
all tho varieties of butterflies, frourthe
little yellow species to the huge moths
with multi-colored wings. There is no
science that shows the diversity of nat
ure more conclusively than entomol
ogy. .
"Why, tbe families and sub-families
of beetles alone are almost innumera
ble, and their habits are La the highest
degree Interesting. The varieties of
water bisects also merit observation.
At twilight the wild datura, commonly
known as the jlmson weed, Is frequent
ed by a multitude of huge death's-head
mollis of dark brown hue, with large :
bodies and broad, mottled wings, which
are decided curiosities. On their beads
can be distinctly seen a .perfectly de
fined human skull acd cross bones.
These tooths defend themselves by
means of a powdery down on their
wings, which they shake off at their
enemies and which will produce faint
ing fits in the human species. Tea, as
a summer study entomology will pay,
and it is astonishing how few think it
worth while, to give it attention."
