General Produce

Butter-Receipts are gradually and steadily
growing lighter, and the feeling is strength
ening but has as yet not improved sufficiently
to justify higher prices, which, however, may
be looked for before long. In all probabilities,
though, only the best grades Of fresh grass
butter will be affected, because, as q rule, in
ferior grades continue to arrive freely during
the warm months, owing principally to the
holding of butter on account of low prices,
which usually proves itself to be poor policy.
No quotations above 10c for strictly fresh
table butter, and prices varying from 6@Sc
for lower grades, while packing stock will only
go at 4@5c.
Eggs-In liberal supply and rather weak at 9
@9Ac. Candllngis absolut Unnecessary ,andship'
pers would find it to their ADVANTAGE to do It
before shipping. instead of paying freight on
rotten eggs.
Poultry-OId chickens are in fair demand
and selling at S 3.25@3.50 per dozen; spring
chickens are plentiful, and small sizes ex-
tremely slow and not aboYe $500, while $3.50
is outside for good sizes.
Potatoes-New ones are getting to be more
plentiful and daily improving in quality.
They are selling to-day at SO@90c per bushel,

Fresh Az and YentiIn,iou

The average amount Of air breathed by
every person is about "a cubic inches at each
breath, with about 20 respirations q minute.
This would be cubic foot in three minutes
and half, or 400 cubic feet Ia "a hours, or
the contents of room seven feet square and
eight feet high. But this is only fftieth part
OF what every healthy person needs, for
breathing vitiates the air rapidly, because the
air exhaled has 100 times as much oarbonio
acid gas IS the atmosphere, while twice the
amount contained in the atmosphere, or eight
parts in 10000, is as large a proportion as
can be breathed without injury 10 the health
Crowded rooms in winter schools, ETC., are
sometimes found to contain three or four
times as much, and headaches and other all
ments are the consequences Of breathing the
same air over and over again. There should,
therefore, be enough fresh air for every per-
son daily 10 amount TO 90 900 cubic feet or
enough to fill eighteen rooms ten feet square
and ten feet high. This would be amply
supplied by an opening, tube, or orifce three
inches square with a moderate current. In
the day there is usually enough air introduced
into rooms through opening doors, cracks in
window castings, and in other ways. The
chief danger is in sleeping rooms, where
pains should be taken TO have q circulation.
When the room ia warm, and the air out
doors quite cold, constant and often sufficient
currents are caused. A hundred persons
should have ventilating orifce equal to %
feet square. The general principle seems to
be simple enough, the difficulty lies in the
unwillingness or neglect OF people to apply
it.-LOndOR Iron.

Modern Superstition.

The nineteenth century has dispelled many
of the grosser forms of superstition, yet few
realize to what extent decisions of one kind
or another still prevail. The means taken by
the Russian peasants to keep the pest from
their COWS, as described in the paragraph be.
low, is just as effective for the purpose in
tended, and more harmless than many of the
remedies for disease which are still in use
among our own people:
1.-THE village of Minussinsk in Russia. has
been troubled by the pest among its COWS,
and the conscript fathers of the community
held meeting to decide upon the best means
OF putting stop to the calamity. 1t was
agreed that resort should be had TO the old
Slavonic custom of round blowing. A Rus.
sian paper gives an account of the process,
Seven virgins, two old women, and a young
bachelor of good character are elected. At
midnight procession of the peasants is
formed, led by the two old women carrying
pictures OF saints. In the rear of the pro
cession the seven maidens are harnessed
to pillow, which is guided by the young man.
A light furrow is plowed around the village,
and thereby, according to the belief of the
local agriculturists, barrier is provided
against the evil spirit. He has no power to
pass over the mystical furrow"

when l came here in 1872 very many peo-
pie we're incredulous of the growth Of this
state. The atmosphere was excessively dry
and II was doubtful whether corn or tame
grass or fruit trees would grow. The sod
was tough and stubborn, and shed the little
rain that fell quickly. We had interminable
wind storms. II would blow, blow, blow,
day after day, till the din was unbearable.
l have seen people fairly worn out with the
incessant strenuous, wearisome blasts that
so relentlessly kept whrl and racket about
them. And there used 10 come, in summer,
occasional hot blasts from the south that
would wilt our grain, especially our corn.
But there has come most remarkable change.
The atmosphere is not nearly 80 dry. ladies
have 10 guard within doors against mildew
oocasioned by dampness much as they do at
the east. We have much more rain, and Il Is
more evenly distributed over the year than IL
used 10 be. We have fewer and fewer wind
storms, and the heated winds that did such
mischief do not trouble us at all. See for
yourself the crops we raise Look at that

as any in the world"
