McMinnville, Oct 80, 1885,
In produce, in fact almost every
department of trade, has been very
quiet and but little doing. Very lit
tie doing in grain.
Dried fruit has made no improve
ment, being at stand still. Green
apples in light demand, only the
largest and finest quality can be sold
at present. Markets South still over
supplied and prices too low to COM
pensate producer or shipper. The
suggestion last week, to hold back
apples until later seems to be good
one. Handle carefully and protect
well from frost, and wait until de-
mand, seems to be the better plan.
Eggs are unchanged, the demand
and supply being about equal at pres
ent prices.
Feathers are quoted weak and low
er, with a tendency to lower prices.
Gensang is also lower, having de
clined several cents within the last
three weeks.

Greasy Wool.


"Why grow greasy woolp" This
question is asked by writer on sheer
and wool who ought to be an expert in
these subjects. To argue agains
greasy wool indicates total ignoranc,
of what wool is, and the natural laws
by which the anatomy of the SHEEP
has been evolved from certain indis-
pensabe conditions. 1t would be
equally absurd as to say to WOO
manufacturer, "Why use grease in the
manufacture of woolp" The reply tc
both questions is simply because the
grease is indispensable to the growth
and the manufacture as well-of the
wool. The grease in the wool acts as
a repellent of water, which otherwise
would soak into the wool as into a
sponge and destroy the sheep. 1t keeps
the wool from chatting and felting upon
the sleeps back, and gives 1t its
natural curl and smoothness. 1t is
also non-conductor of air. and conse.
quently of heat, and for all these
reasons it is absolutely necessary for
us to grow greasy wool; and this an
swers the question satisfactorily. New
ertheless, although grease may be a
good thing, 1t is by no means good to
have too much of it. and therefore it is
not wise to encourage too much yolk
and grease in breeding of sleepy.

WEARING SLIPPERS.


The General Health OF Women Likely to
BE Improved BY Discarding Them.
A gentleman who had travelled a
great deal and spent some years in En-
gland was speaking of English women,
and expatiated, as usual. on Their good
health as compared with American
women. and the long walks they took,
and finished with the remark: but the
English ladies never wear their thick
shoes in the house; they always change
ana put on slippers. This idea seems
to prevail to a great extent among
American women also. that it is the
proper thing to wear slippers in the
house. This may be good plan for
those who live in houses kept at a
summer heat at all times, and
never go out except when at
tired for visiting. shopping or
something of the kind. 1t is also
relief to the weary housekeeper who
has been on her feet all day to sit down
in the evening with her slippers on.
But the practice of wearing slippers in
the morning, when one is liable to be
called on to step out doors at any mo-
ment while the grass is wet with dew,
is productive of wet feet, which in its
turn is one of the most fruitful causes
of colds and all the evils that follow in
their train. In the fall and winter
months, too, the floors are cold in the
morning and good thick-soled shoe is
much more comfortable than low cut
slipper, even though the latter may APP
pear little more like house dress. The
fact that they can be so much more
easily and quickly put ON than a shoe
may perhaps be one reason for prefer
ring them. but that should not be con-
sidered for moment.
We are not speaking Of the wear of
slippers during the hot and sultry
months of summer. but the common
practice amongwomen of wearing them
exc usively around the house. Men
are fond of DOMINIC the dressing-gown
and slippers IN the evening after the
chores are done. but they do not wear
them around their work. Although
they may be a rest and change then.
something that will support the ankle
is very useful and essential. 1t is
great Inconvenience, too, to be obliged
to change ones shoes to 60 out on
an errand or to step out doors.
Women would often be more willing to
take walks, were it not for the trouble
of gett ng ready. Not to dispense with
slippers altogether, for as we have
said they are often useful; we think
the general health OF women would be
improved by wearing h gh shoes more
and slippers less. Western Rural.
