Yes, they laugh at us at the West
when we say, on good authority, that
the Boards of Trade out there are ma
nipulated by the owners of butterine
factories; but we were told this by
man who has eyes to see with when he
travels, and he had Just returned from
Elgin, and he pronounced the whole
business OF public sales on these boards
a farce, and the chances are just about
ninety-nine in hundred that lie told
the truth. The american CUltiuator,
that generally knows what il is talking
about, backs us up In this statement as
follows: "The butterine and oleomar-
garine men are again advancing the
price Of fancy grades Of creamery but
ter in the West. These manipulators
Of lard and tallow and grease need
quite percentage of choice butter In
their mixture to lend flavor and aroma
to the mass. Again, the higher they
bid up genuine butter in small lots, the
more they can obtain for the counter
felt by the ton" Now let the farmers
who are not in the secrets of this little
game, and who belong to these boards,
institute inquiries and they will find
that most Of the highest priced goods,
or rather the best favored goods,
go DIRECTLY to the oleo shops and
are used for favoring the very article
that cuts the market from under
them. To be sure, if your butter sells
at top figures you get slice of this
profit and it may be asking too much Of
your human nature to look after the
interest Of the trade at large, but the
great mass of farmers are not in tho
swim, and they are the ones to take
this matter up and sift it to the bottom.
If theoretically done you will probably
got their men out concluding arrange
ments either with the makers or hand
lers of the best goods by which they are
to have absolute control of all the best
butter that is offered for sale, to the
entire exclusion Of all outside buyers.
This is often accomplished, not merely
by paying more for it than the market
will warrant, which they sometimes
will do to freeze out their competitors,
but by private agreements the cash
character of the sale is turned into time,
delays of payment or shipment are
made, or in some way they get favors
not accorded to others. These oleo
people are the sharpcst and most un-
scrupulous men in the market, and like
railroad manipulators they work to-
gether, and all the time with the one
sole object in view of accommodating
money by sharp practice and at the ex-
pense of the innocent and hard working
farmer. We say combine and contrib
ute money to ferret them out.-Ihe

The Treatment Of Dairy Cows.

Mr.. j. A. Smith, 2, western dairy
man, writing Of the Importance of the
feed and proper treatment of dairy
cows, gives some excellent suggestions
on this topic. He says that dairymen
are often surprised at the light weight
of their milk the next morning after a
cold rainstorm, through which their
COWS have suffered unstabled, and it is
only natural result of such treatment.
The COW does not eat as much, for one
thing; and another is. part Of what she
does eat goes to repair the waste of her
system in withstanding the effects of
the storm, and that Keeps per cent.
out of the milk pail, until she has re-
covered from the effects of such ex-
posture. 1t is also true that COW, af-
fected by short feed or painful expos
ure, not only loses in the quantity Of
her yield of milk, but in the amount of
fatty matter it contains. In q word,
nature has SO organized the COW that
she revenges herself on her owners
pocket, for cruel neglect and short
feed; and . farmer might just as well
try to dodge taxes and death as to risk
the unwise treatment of COW. In
point of fact, when thus treated, she
takes the first and gives the owner
what skim milk she cannot assimilate.
The only way to get profit out of her
is to fill her so full that she runs over,
and take the surplus for POUR gold
mine. - Nilllaasd Farmer.

of single rotation would seem Go be-
little more than three and one-half
weeks. So that it would actually seem
as though parts of the sun near his
equator turned round eight times in
four weeks, while in the same time the
parts Of the spot zone nearest to the
poles went round only SereR times.
APPEARANCE OF sun spors.
The spots are not uniformly dark, but
are darkest at the centre. All around
the dark central part is what looks like
sort of fringe, darker than the rest
Of the suns surface, but not nearly so
dark as the central region.
The spots seem to be depressions be-
low the solar surface, the outer part
being the sloping sides of great SANGER
shaped hollows.
But there are not always spots on the
sun. Sometimes for weeks in sue
cession no spots can be seen. 1t has
been found that spots increase and de-
crease in number in somewhat regu-
lar manner. From the time when there
are none the spots gradually increase
IN number and in size. Then they be-
gin to get fewer and fewer in number
until again the sun is without spots.
Then they begin to feturn, and so they
grow alternately more and less numer-
Gus. The period in which all the
changes are gone through, from a time
when spots are most numerous to time
when they are again most numerous, is
about eleven years.
THE CAUSE OF SUN SPOTS.
The cause of this periodic change in
the state of the suns surface has not
yet been discovered But the spots
themselves are supposed to be regions
whore that surface has been intensely
disturbed. Generally the parts of Il
surface near spot are brighter than
the rest, forming streaks and patches of
intense brilliancy, which the as
tronomers of Galileo's time called fi1c,tl,
from Latin word signify torch
Much smaller bright patches, mere dots
in fact, of similar brightness are strewn
over the general surface of the sun.
These are called the rice-grai,,s.
But though they look very small, they
are in reality of enormous size--cer-
tainly not less than three hundred miles
in length and two hundred In breadth.
1t is believed that nincty-nine parts out
of a hundred of the suns light and heat
comes from these immense and in
tensely luminous clouds.
When the moon comes between the
earth and the sun, she sometimes Just
hides the sun from view. and then we
can see all around the dark body of the
eclipsing moon ruddy objects looking
like rosy mountains, clouds and flames.
They were compared by those who first
discovered them to garnets round
brooch of jet. These in reality belong
to the sun, and are vast masses OF glow
ing gas, reaching twenty, thirty, forty,
nav, sometimes even eighty thousand
miles above his surfaee. Outside these
again there can be seen during an eclipse
a glory of light around the dark body
of the moon, called the corona. This
belongs to the sun, and is probably
caused by tiny bodies travelling in inn
mense numbers Qike clouds of dust)
around the sun and illuminated by his
light. - Richard A. Proctor, IN Youths
