High protective tariffs were im-
posed in 1879.
In 444.7 the tariff was reduced.
We know that the high protective
tariff in fore.' between Ite41 and 1,487
obliged the farmers to Pay' more for
their purchases than they won4d heivr
had to play in the atimence of such it
tariff. This neceeteerily would •stns•

value of their land. The value of the
land will rime or fall only in eynipathy
with the farmer's profits.
The reduction in the tariff in 18117,
p{tK and 144r' would have a favorwllle
effect on farmer'. profit., and eons...
guently on the value of hie land.

must be well fed, but must be made to
work so as not to get too fat.

two. in each of my breeding pens 1*

1 have never tried the hopper system
fu deeding brueding stock, except for,
scrap and granulated Lune. These are
in every pen. I do use hoppers with
growing alcks after they are tw a
months old. Until tb.t age I feed
three times a day In front of the email
brood coops. One da) the hoppers are
tilled with wheat and the next with
craeked ora. le addklon to this, ev-
ery day I Stye a *lash similar to that
mentioned above, fed on boards around
the Wilde. I also teed beet scrap and
granulated bone to these chicks from
dry food hoppers wltloh are attacked
to the colony houses about the range.
1 have never trted the exclusive dry
feeding plan, as I believe a little soft
feed or mash every day or two is bet-
ter for poultry, either young or old. I
teed sitting hens whole corn, and that
only.
Young chicks are given dry bread
crumbs when first hatched or crackers,
fed dry. After a few days they have
tins cracked corn and line cracked
wheat and one. a day a soft feed as
above, some Spratt's feud being put In
this. I put much value on this food. I
have used commercial chick foods and
like them. They contain a variety of
small grains that make a nice change
for the ohlckew.
Model Poultry Houses.
New houses have just been coe*plie
ted in the Roswell Poultry Yards, and
1 think a great point lu ventilation has
been gained in their construction,
writes H. R. Burhsm. The houses are
8 by 10 feet and 6 feet high. The coD-
structtoa frame Is of 2x4 lumber; the
bottom half of wall Is tar paper Doter

half of wall is 10 -ounce dut; the roof

window proper open. The ventilator
