Rutala's Prohibitory Tariff. Russia Is at work preparing a new tariff to get even with Germany. The Kovoe Vr jmya of St. Petersburg sayc that ''In the vast majority of canes tho duties of the new tariff show an In crease of 60 per cent on those of tho tariff of 1891, while the duties on many articles have been doubled and in some cases more than doubled." As the Russian tariff Is now the highest of liny civilized nation, these new rates Will be practically prohibitory. One peculiar featuro of the bill provides for 20 per cent more duty on an article vrhen Imported by land Instead of sea. Evidently the Russians will meet the Germans at the full length of the String, but other nations will bo In cluded. V ST.

Young pigs will not thrive If fed solid food. This Is the cause of nearly all of the stunted pigs, especially In the winter sftson. Milk is scarce In winter, and they are often fed on ground feed mixed with cold water to the consis tency of ithlck mush. Some farmers seem to think pigs require little drink In winter, and thick lop will be eaten more quickly and In lV-ss liable o freeze in the trough. Pigs from one to three months old require as thin slop from ground feed as that fed from sour milk. Growing animals require plenty of drink to produce blood to pro tnoto growth. A stint In firlnk Is as bad as half rations. They should not bs given coarse food containing oat hulls or buckwheat hulls until three months or more old. The heat ration I ever tried Is cornmeal, wheat and buckwheat middling. Scald the moral with nearly half the water required for the ration. After the meal has scalded fire min utes add cold water and th middlings. Some might scald the middlings, but I prefer to mix them after the cold water Is used. The ration should be fed warmer than 100 degrees when the weather Is severely cold. Ground oats that are sifted free from hulls are good feed for young pigs. Jf. H. An dre, in New York Tribune Farmer. Maple 8ugar Making. For tapping, select a spot filiere the tree has a lively look, above a large root, or directly under a limb, south or east side preferable. With a eharp ax ross tho coarso bark over the spot where you Intend to tap tho tree. Bore a hole slanting a little upward wllh a sharp bit 1-32 Inch smaller that the spout to be used, to tho depth of not over 1 1-2 Inches. Never drive a snout tighter than 1-32 Inch, as it Injures the tree. Use a spout that dees not obstruct the flow of sap, and that hes a free deliver-.', as sap thBt remaiii3 in the puncture of the tree between runs, sours, Rnd Injurrs the quality of sap thereafter, also the tree. Tin buckets are preferable, for ob taining the best quality of sap. The slot that lined to be cut In bucket for the old-fashioned bucket nail Is preferred, use a narrow curved hook on spout, for with a wide one you have to tip tho bucket up edgewise to koop on, or vice versa, thus spilling the sap If bucket Is nearly full. Storage and gath ering tanks mode of galvanized Iron are easier kept clean than wood, and are superior for the best results. Tin Is the best metal for evaporators, but not as durable as some other met als. The corrugated bottom pans evap orate more sap than plain bottoms, but If not properly used, do not make as light-colored sugar. The sap should never get below these corrugations, neither should the blaze come In con tact with any bare surface of the. evap orator on bottom or sides. Star the evaporator aa soon as there Is sap enough to boll, and continue the boll fng as long as there Is sap. The nearer It Is kept up the better, and the faster the evaporation tho better. Use strain ers from gathering tanks to syrup can, and keep sugar utensils of all kinds clean. B. J. Tebbetts, in American Agriculturist. Raising Little Chicks. When the first chicks of the year are batched they arte removed from the mother hen Just as soon as strong sough to walk, put Into a basket lined wftta paper and littered with straw, While a piece of flannel Is warmed and covered over them. Soon afterward they are examined for lice, and a lit tle lard la carefully applied to the head anfl neck of each. Then they are snug ly tucked away in their basket again, put In a warm place and allowed to rest aa long as they wish. When about twenty-four hours old, a little hard-boiled egg, or a few bread crumbs are given, and as soon as they show a disposition to eat food and drink are regularly placed before them. Their basket Is now exchanged for a roomy box, the bottom of which is sprinkled with road dust and covered with straw, a little dish of grit and coarse sand is placed in one corner, and they are located in a sunny win dow. Drinking fountains are made as fol lows: A common teacup is filled with water, and covered with an Inverted saucer, then, holding tightly to each, they nre turned upside down, when one edge of the nip is slightly raised, al lowing a small quantity of the water to flow into the saucer. A thin bit of wood is sometimes pushed under the edge of the cup, which causes a per petual flow untn the cup Is emptied. These are easily olaaned alter use, and there Is nothing to rust, as with a tin can. Until a week or ten days old, the chicks are 'fod once a day on boiled egg or clabber cheese, and corn bread, made with milk as for th? tablo. Next, tho egg 1b substituted with a little fine cut groou bone, uomotlmes fod alone, at othors mixed In n mwh with mid dlings, to which is o'tmi cdiled some fine bits of dried clover nnd Kf033. They are enpeclally fond of thin mixture, and make more fuss over It than over any thing else that can be fed.

In mr family sweat torn Is one nf tha most highly prized vcgetabloa, and I sum to nave tne seoecn as lone as prac ticable. I have had It fully grown by July 5, and once picked some that was quite passable the last week In June. Last summer we lad It In abundance by the middle of July. Cora will bear transplanting well If the roots are not disturbed too much. I start as much as I think will be needed in cold frames, planting In hills the sam aa It in the open ground, only about twice as near together each way. After the plants are up I give the beds plenty of air In mild weather, aiming for hardy planr.s rather than very large ones. April 20 Is usually early enough to put In the seed. It will depend, of course, on the general forwardness of the sea son, once had corn plr.nted outside out of the ground on April 30, with no late frosts to destroy it, but tuch sea sons are rare in this latitude. For transplanting I have a sheet Iron cy linder about nine inches In diameter and nearly as long, with the edge turn ed over at one end to strengthen it and to render It. easlrc to crowd It down Into the soil around a hill of corn. I always set the corn near the cold frame, so that the hills not trans planted will be In the same or adjoin ing rows with those outside. A frame six feet wide will start three rows and give ample mora for the corn to grow till it is ready to transplant I take up all of the middle row and every other hill of both the others. All the fertlllr.er Is applied broadcast, so when ready to transplant I dig the holes for as many hills as are to be moved, then crowd the cylinder down over a hill In the frame and run my spade underneath and pick up and carry to a hole already for the receiving of the plants; draw the soil up and around the cylinder. treading It down sufficiently, then pull the cylinder up and the work Is done. Part of the soil taken out will be need ed for filling the hole left In tho frame. Corn moved It this way will hardly stop growing, not much root growth having been pruned off. I could see smrcely any difference lost summer be tween the transplanted corn and that left In the frame bed. I think this Is better than starting the plants In pots of the size commonly used. The cyl Inder should bo made of ths thickest Iron one can find Rnd lapped and rivet ed just liko a common piece of stove pipe. In land free from small stones It will work down around the hills quite easily, and one should avoid having many stones In the soil of the frame, I suppose there are numerous other crops thflt might be handled in this way, but I have had no experience with any others. Tomatoes need handling differently, so I think would squanhes and other vines. When my first corn was ready to market the price was double what It was later In the season, A. M. Cheover, In New York Tribune Farmer. Dairying Increases Fertility. Any branch of farming which In creases the general fertility ot the farm land while paying a living profit Is worth more than another which steadi ly decreases the productivity of the soil. Robbing the land to make present profit Is an unwise Investment. Sooner or later we pay for It, and sometimes dearly. Now, dairying of all branches of fanning stands first In this respect It can be conducted so that the farm land will steadily degenerate until the place Is on the verge of ruin and aban donment, or It can be made to lm prove me sou year by year. Many a dairy farmer has taken hold of poor abandoned farms and brought them up to a point whore their valuation is al most doubled. Such men counted their profits In the living which they annual ly took from the place and in the high er valuation of their property. Keep a good dairy on any farm, and the fer tility of It should increase. There should first be a regular rotation of such crops as corn, oats, clovsr and timothy two years and pasture another year. Then manure should be used free ly, both at the time of planting and as top dressing later. Commercial fertni zers have their place there, for a run down soil has been robbed of moat of Its mineral elements, and tho fortill zrrs rich In potash and nitrogen re store to it what It lacks. In order to bring up a poor farm by dairying, care should be taken not to have more stock than the land can af ford. This Is often the weak point in dairying. A man keeps fifty cows on a farm able to support only thirty or forty. The farm Is bound to run down. Thore Is nothing else for It to do ex cept to starva the stock or buy out side, food, which always means poor economy. It Is bettor to sell off the stock, weed out the poorest of the herd, and keep only so many as the farm can support, and leave a little something over. Do not farm up to the very llsnlt of the soil. That is, do not take off each year quite all that the little will produce. Leave a little balance In the bank as a nucleus for future accumu lation. Dairymen make this mistake and regret It when It is too late. As one succeeds In farming success fully with twenty acres, keeping a herd of cows on It so thoit they havo ample to eat and a little surplus over, more land can be brought under cultivation and the otoclc increased. About half the dairy farms today need to have either the herd cut in two or half the land abandoned. That Is, the former are raising too many cows to the acre, aud robbing the soil so that the farm Is a little poorer each year, and tho lat ter are only cultivating about twice as much land as they are capable of han dling with their limited means. It Is better to seed half the land to grass, and let It go at that, and devote the attention to strenuous cultivation of tho remainder. A little radical change like this will work wonders on many a run-dawn . dairy farm. E. P. Smith, in American Cultivator. HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED SPRING CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-HA.
