A Stroke at the Standard.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, April IA
number of so-called special kilograms
from this city, purporting to give ac-
counts of the reorganization of the
Union Oil Company, were more re-
markable for lack of correctness than
anything else That the company has
reorganized is true. Among those
who have embarked in the new scheme
are H. l.. Taylor, John Satterfeld and
Thos. S Mcfarland, all of the firm of
II. L. Taylor & Co., Managers of the
Tidewater Pipe Line; F. B. Gowen,
President of the Reading Railroad
Company; Charles Parish, John Scott,
S. Burke and Amasa Stone, all heavy
capitalists and largely interested in
railroads. The prime object of the cor
poration is to compete with the Stand
ard Oil Company, and if possible break
the death-grip it has for several years
held on the oil interest not only of
Western Pennsylvania but of the en-
tire country While its operations
may not, perhaps, be conducted on the
same extensive scale as the Standards
it will be no mean opponent and will
speedily make itself felt-with the
Union refneries, the Tidewater Pipe
Lines and the railroad backing which
is represented by the four gentlemen
last named in the list of incorporators,
there is no reason why successful CON-
petition cannot be entered into. In
case the old plan of lowering the price
of oil is adopted by the. Standard, it is
probable the enlarged and strengthen
ed Union will be able to stand it as
long as the older company.
As is known the Union Oil Com
pany hitherto done business in Phila-
delphia and in this city. Under the
new management it is understood that
the principal scenes of operation will
be in Western Pennsylvania, with
Titusville as center. New refneries
will be built, and smaller ones bought.
Even now agents are at work negotiat-
ing for several of the numerous pipe
lines with which the oil regions are
crossed and recrossed, and it is said
they have every prospect of success.
Mr.. Thomas S. Mcfarland sails from
New York to Liverpool tomorrow, in
order to secure loans for the new enter
prise, and also to sell some of the stock
which as yet remains unsubscribed.
In the reorganization the original
$4,000, 900 stock of the Union Oil Co.,
was raised to something like $780,
900, of which not quite all was taken.
The assistance of English capitalists
will be secured, and the establishment
of foreign agency effected before the
return of the representative.

Almost every day l receive a letter from

no clerk, find it requires good deal of time
and patience to answer all rs l would do.
The best way for my farmer friends to do is
to come and see for themselves, cattle and
hogs horses and calves, fed on nothing but
ensilage, except poor pasturage, since the first
of October, with the exception of the hogs,
which fed half meal and bran. The cattle
look better than ever before, even when
have fed grain. l find the largest cows need
about one hundred pounds and the smaller
ones in proportion. AS my crop fell awfully

ORJEoT LESSONS IN AGRIcULTURE.-The
New York Tribune gives an account of a re-
cent exhibition given by the little children in
the kindergarten department of the Chill
dren's Aid Society's Industrial School, No.
2ll West Eighteenth-st The main object of
the exhibition was to illustrate a system of
object lessons in agriculture. This system
has been developed by Mrs, L. Briant, who is
in charge of the department; the idea being
taken from Miss Emily Huntington's kitchen
garden, and applied to farming. A shallow
box, three feet broad and about six feet long,
filled with earth, stood at one side of the
room. This represented a field ready for
planting spring wheat. In another box green
wheat was growing. One of the boys took
the part of the farmer, and directed three or
four others in the farm work. They plowed
the ground and narrowed it with miniature
implements; then sowed the wheat and har-
rowed it in. The box with growing wheat
was abandoned to the cattle by the young
farmers direction, as it was a hopeless crop
from dies, worms, thistles daisies, and other
enemies of wheat The wheat from the west
lot" was then threshed with fails and taken
to the mill, where graham flour and white
flour were ground from it, The mill was a
coffee grinder. Then the farmers wife Zone
of the little girls went through the process of
bread making, explaining every step and Civ
ing the different ingredients used aud their
proportions. At intervals little choruses sang
songs in praise of farm life.

clover, 60 pounds shelled corn, rye, buck

the case of small seeds, and especially light

Science and the best practice would seem
to be on the side of churning sweet. Doctor
Voelcker, chemist to the royal agricultural So
cety of England, has recently taken strong
ground against churning cream sour. He lays
as much stress upon having cream sweet when
churned as upon having it clean; and common
sense would seem to coincide with him. That
milk, when it has turned sour, is started on
the road to decomposition is not questioned
by anybody-even the advocates of souring
cream. What advantage it can be to the sta
bility of butter fats to hold them for a time,
either long or short mingled with mass of
decomposing animal matter, in whatever stage
of decomposition it may be, common sense is
unable to understand. National Lice Stock

STATISTICS OF MINNESOTA.
Blue Earth the Banner Butter
County of the State.

We have upon our table the book
of statistics of the State of Minnesota

clan, Mr.. f. 5. Christensen. This
volume is the 18th statistical publica-
ton and is one of the most complete,
comprehensive and reliable docu.
ments ever issued by this department.
Besides containing reports of agricul-
ture, population, ETC., a complete list
of Minnesota newspapers is embodied
in the work, which is most valuable
compilation for reference.
In reviewing portions of his work.
the commissioner finds that in every
instance the returns of the census
over-run the State crop report. For
instance, the State report gives the
wheat crop to be 81, 2l8, 1874 bushels,
while the U. S. census returns gives
the crop at "a ,6Ol ,O3O, an increase of
about II per cent. In oats the census
returns show an increase of over Is

barley % per cent. 1t is every way
likely that the census report comes
nearer the actual figures than does
the State, from the fact that means
