BY WIllIAflI U. tstUtZf ARD Tubs r at Mobxixq, August 12. IN A PERPLEXING PREDICA MENT. The declaration by the Iowa Be publican convention in favor of tar iff revision, although it was a very vague declaration, has pot the Re publican leaders in a rather perplex ing predicament, for while they wnnM UVa to cater to the tariff re vision sentiment, and humbug voters, they also feel the necessity of keeping in with the tariff bene ficiaries, whose money is needed in election times. Some of the organs which have caught on to the kink of humbugging the voters, com mend the Iowa declaration as voic ing the "belief and aspiration" of the Republican masses, as the In dianapolis Journal puts it, while others who are trying to stand in with the protected manufacturers pronounce it hasty and indiscret. One of these, the St. Louis Globe Democrat, delivers itself thus: "Efforts to work up a sentiment in favor of the tariff revision commission or in support of any legislation that looks to tariff tinkering find no sym pathy with the administration leaden or with the officials who are chared with the duty of transacting: the finan cial business of the nation and main taining its credit. They are convinced that it would be a serious error, from a purely business standpoint, aside from any political consideration, to eive countenance at this time to any plan for a revision of the tariff." It bolsters this up with the fol lowing from its Washington corre spondent, who interviewed one of the Washington financiers in close touch with the Administration, whom he thus quotes: "The government is in no shape to stand any tinkering with the tariff or any revision of It at this time. The report of the treasury department, is sued to-day, shows that there will be a very small surplus, If indeed there is any at all at the close of the fiscal year next year. The surplus will be saiall if there is not another word said about tariff revision. It will disappear entirely and be replaced by a deficit of huge proportions if the subject is agi tated daring the campaign and at the coming session of Congress. Let the matter be taken up for discussion by congress and the importers will hold up their shipments, awaiting actior. Manufacturers will curtail their ou. pur, pending action by congress, busi ness generally will be unsettled, and the close of the present fiscal year will find the government with a deficit of $300,000,000. This is no idle specula tion or guess work. It is based upon the history of all discussion of the tar iff by our congress. Whenever the question is taken up, business is ser iously affected. We want no action by the next congress that will disturb the business prosperity of the cation, and tariff revision talk would certain ly do it." There must be no "tariff tinker ing," not even talk of "tans re vision," for it will scare the manu facturers, cut down production, unsettle business, knock the bottom out of prosperity, and instead of a big surplus in the treasury we will run up against a big deficit. That's the sum and substance of the talk of this Washington financier, who is iu close touch with the administra tion. But there is nothing original in that, for we have lots of that kind of 8cre-crow stuff every time tariff reduction is mentioned. That is the way the spokesmen of the pro tected manufacturers and other beneficiaries of protection have talked when any one proposed a re duction of the tariff, even on ar ticles when it had been clearly shown that no protection was needed to enable our manufacturers to com pete with the manufacturers of other countries, when it was shown that our manufacturers not only successfully competed with them but in some lines of goods actually undersold them in their own mar kets. That's what Senator Hanna and other friends and advocates of the trusts said when Congress man Babcock, Republican, proposed to repeal the protective duties on steel manufactures which are sold at a lower price in foreign mar kets than they are at home, where they have no ocean transportation to pay. The profits of the U. S. Steel Trust are about 1136,000,000 a year, and yet it is said that it couldn't stand tariff reduction, although President Schwab recently said in his testimony before a New Jersey court that the Trust could stand a loss of seventy-five per cent, on its profits and then do welL Mr. Schwab isn't hankering for tariff reduction, but these trust protec tors in Congress seem to know more about it than he does when they de clare that a repeal of the protective duties would - ruin this collossal Trust. Assuming that the Washington financiers and others who deprecate any talk of tariff revision "at this time" as dangerous, a menace to business, to prosperity and to the Treasury, when will the time come when the same plea could not be made, and when could the question of tariff reduction be taken up? If it can't be done when the coun try is "prosperous," when can It be done P If it can't be done when the Treasury Is full of money, bo full as to encourage extravagance, when can it be done?. Must we wait in definitely until there is a business reaction, until production forced 4on by lack of demand, and our manufacturers hare to hustle to make ends, meet ? Doesn t it teem that they would be better able to stand tariff reduction when times are flush with them, when they hav e i orders for as many and more gooas than they can turn out, when their profits are large, ana tne ouhoo good for them to be larger ? That's thAwavit looks to a person who takes a commonsense, business view of this question, and that's the way It would look to these opponents ut tariff rAviaion if thev were not more intent on serving the protected mannfar.tnrefa and the trusts than in protecting the plundered Ameri can people. LABOR AND CAPITAL. Tor the oast vear or so Benator A Hanna has taken a great deal of in terest in the labor question and given much thought to devising some way to bring labor and capital together and thus avert the strikes that oc cur so frequently now, some of which entail losses of millions of dollars on the people directly in volved, and much more on the pub lic affected by the strikes. He says it is the ambition of his life to bring labor and capital to gether, so that they may be mutu ally helpful, and not antagonistic, as they appear now. The impression with some is that Mr. Hanna is look ing ahead and has politics in view in showing this interest in the work- ingman, that he is seeking popu larity by posing as his friend, but even if so he deserves credit for his efforts in this direction, for he iB working in a good cause. In his speech at Chatauqua last Saturday he spoke practically as the defender of the working man, and as the justifier of strikes when he de clared that over fifty per cent, of the strikes had been successful, from which "we must concede that in a majority of cases capital is wrong." Mr. Hanna is a large em ployer of men, and hence he cannot be suspected of being unfriendly to capital or partial to labor, but he candidly declares that the working man has not received a reasonable portion of the wealth which his labor has created, a fact which has long been apparent and is becoming more so every day. What better proof need be asked than the reported profits of our in dustrial combines in contrast with the returns of labor, as shown by the numerous strikes throughout the country? Men do not quit work when they are doing well. They do not strike and remain idle for weeks or months without cause, and there fore the strike is presumptive evi dence of cause, which the strikers deem sufficient, andj most cases they are the best judges. Whatever Mr. Hanna's motives may be, he is engaged in a good work. TO FIGHT IT WITH BALLOTS. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says the Republican leaders in Washington have been considerably perturbed by the recent Retail Butchers' and Meat Dealers' National Convention, declaring that they will oppose any candidate for Congress who will not pledge himself to vote and work for the repeal of the tariff duties on meats and animals for slaughter. This association embraces not only retail butchers and meat deal ers, but also many grocery men. They are all urged to take an active part in this campaign and use their personal efforts to defeat any can didate who will refuse to ooenlv pledge himself to vote and work in this matter as demanded. It is noted that while the butchers and meat dealers may not be very numerous, they are very much in earnest, that they are very much in terested in the result of the elections for Congressmen, that the majority of consumers are also interested. therefore in sympathy with them and will co-operate with them in se curing these pledges and in working for the defeat of the candidate for Congress who refuses to make them. The leaders in Washington are apprehensive that in close districts this vote may be a deciding factor, and that they will be confronted by the necessity of seeing Republicans who are opposed to the Beef Trust and will vote for the repeal of the meat duties or of seeing Democrats elected in districts that are now Re publican. When Republicans vote for the repeal of the meat duties, that will be the beginning of tariff revision, the talk of which the Re publican party managers now so much deprecate. An Omaha woman, whose hus band is employed in a large packing house, wants a divorce because she don't like the odor of his garments. Maybe she don't like to be reminded of beef since it has cone bevond reach. But most people would think themselves lucky to get a smell of it. Commenting on the reported big crops in Indiana, the Philadelphia frets remarks: "This places In diana in the anti-Bryan, anti-Democratic column." This looks like taking advantage of Providence. A little later on they will -be claiming these big crops as a result of Re publican rule.

As a recognition of the service rendered the man said the horse should never do another day's work. He kept his word. The horse has had his regular daily rations and has not been taken out of the stable since. Now the society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals is after him for cruelty to that horse in failing to take him out of the stable for exer- cise.

Spinach will not do well in the sum mer, so that one needs to turn to some thing else for greens. The two kinds tt plants that have given the best sat isfaction at the New Jersey station are the Swiss chard and the New Zealand spinach. The chard is a kind of beet, but .with the nourishment stored in the leaf stalks instead of the root. It is grosvn the same as beets and thrives the summer through, yielding a large amount of substance for the table. The leaf stalks are large and quite flat, resembling somewhat those of celery, ana when properly cooked is a fine dish. Those who are familiar with the preparation of creamed asparagus will know how to make a fine dlBh out of the Swiss chard. It can be sown in succession until as late as July. Be sides, the early plants can be topped, and a new growth of leaves will soon come. The second salad plant to be tiigbly recommended is the New Zea land spinach, which is more like the regular spinach than is the chard. This plant seems to prefer the hot weather and makes a large amount of thick leaves and tender tips to the many branches, which may be gathered at frequent intervals throughout the sea son.

Aaoa Fortunately for the south cotton is the least exhausting to the Boll of any f our staple crops. The lint of tne cot ton nr..: the oil of the, seed contain but nn Insignificant amount of -fertilizing foments. Therefore if the roots and loaves and stalks are turned under and the hulls and meal of the seeds applied to the soil or are fed to cattle and the resulting manure used the loss of fer tility from growing a cropxof cotton is very small. But many farmers on rich alluvial soils knock down, pile and burn the cotton stalks because they are in the way of the plow, and farmers on upland, seeing their more prosperous bottom land neighbors burning cotton stalks, go home and do the same. This is highly injudicious and on thin lands is sure to result in a deserted farm or a stinted living. The fertilizing of cotton is as yet an unsolved problem,, for the same process that gives good results in Mississippi falls in Arkansas, and fertilizers used profitably in Georgia do not benefit the crop in Texas. Especially Is the Texas black land a puzzle to tne farmer who would largely increase his yield by fer tilizing his fields., Experiments so far indicate that the land is better off in the matter of yield of cotton without than with any fertilizer that has yet been systematically applied. The writ er had a field part of which was sandy post oak and part black and sticky. Sheep were penned on two acres of the sandy land, and this land planted to cotton for six alternate years averaged 515 pounds of lint. The same pen, inclosed by the same fence, was removed to the black land and used as a sheep pen for two years. and the average crop of cotton for three alternate years was 268 pounds of lint. The average of previous crops on this black land was not accurately known, but was believed to have been not less than 278 pounds. Thus it would seem that the very fertilizer that more than doubled the yield of the sandy soil was silently detrimental to the black soli. This is a subject that needs ex haustive systematic experimentation, and this should be supplied by the state. Farm and Ranch. NEW LANDS. Very Desirable For Track Qardemlnir and Strawberry Caltare. For vegetable growing new land is .very desirable not only because of its comparative freedom from foul growth. but because such soils contain a large supply of organic nitrogen, the most necessary and expensive of vegetable fertilizers. . It is light and porous, thereby enabling the tender sprout after germination to more readily push Its feeble form through the earth's sur face. TJpon old land frequently a crust will form on the surface or tne soil become baked, thereby preventing seed from coming up, but no trouble of this character is experienced with new ground. The physical condition of such soils greatly encourages the development of those tuberous vegeta bles that grow by a process of expan sion underground. These are some of the properties of new ground that render it desirable for trucking. Potatoes, both sweet and Irish, will certainly thrive on this soil. They will yield well, be sym metrical in form, clear in color and very free from scab. The tomato is another vegetable most congenial to new ground. Upon such land It Is rel atively free from blight and less liable to be choked or smothered by a late summer grass, which so frequently ap pears upon old land after the size of the vines prevents cultivation. Neither should tobacco be omitted in enumerat ing crops adapted to new land. Among small fruits the strawberry thrives especially well on . recently cleared land. Upon such soil it makes a most satisfactory growth and fruit age, and much luss labor is required to keep the weeds and grass down, as the ground is not impregnated with foul seed. This immunity of new ground compared to old land from weed and grass infestation is a most important factor not only in strawberry culture, but in all gardening or trucking opera tions. F. Williams, Jr., Virginia. COW8 AT CALVING. SoaaetaYiaa A boat the Aaiaaal'a Care at This Important Period. I believe in having cows dry she .weeks or two months before calving. and when thoroughly dry feed liberal ly up to within a week of parturition, says a writer In Farmers' Advocate. It is the greatest mistake and the most common to have cows thin In flesh be fore calving. A cow should be fed but lightly a week before calving and a week or ten days after calving, as her digestive organs have not recovered their normal power, and there 1b also the great drain of motherhood upon the system. We have thus two weeks of light feed with a great drain upon the system, and if a cow Is not in good "heart" before calving she will be al together too weak to do good work after. A cow has been likened to a steam engine. Well, we get up steam before we start the engine. A cow in proper condition before calving is of course likely, to develop a large udder if she is any good. Feed lightly, when the udder has developed to a "com fortable" size. . The best feed, I find, is ensilage and a little bran and a cup of oilcake twice a day, with some nice hay. A few days before calving give one and a half to two pounds of ep- som salts, one tablespoonfnl saltpeter, one cup black molasses mixed In two quarts of water as a drench and the same a day or so before tbe calf is dropped. If tbe udder la a "leg spread er" or caked, give one tablespoonfnl saltpeter twice a day as long as you consider advisable. It is a mild purge and thins the blood. There Is noth ing better to reduce a caked udder be fore calving tnan to put a baiter on the cow and take her for a one mile walk. If the weather is cold, be care ful that she does not catch cold after her walk. Blanket her.
