HOUSEKEEPING PESTS.

Complaints are made from various
sections ola band Of baking powder
tramps whose tricks upon unsuspect-
ing housekeepers seem to partake
very much of the nature of confidence
operations. The band is composed of
women, although employed and di-
rected by an agent of the other sex,
and their methods Of procedure, as ex-
planned by several ladies who have
been Eiotimiaed, is as follows: OBJ
tanning access to the kitchen, they in
troduce the subject of baking powders,
inquiring the kind used in the family
Being shown the can perhaps fresh
full one, they volunteer to "test" it to
ascertain it's qualities. Their "test"
consists in placing the can on hot
stove Or over lamp Or gas jet or In
mixing the baking powder with water
both hot and cold. If the baking
powder is good for anything the heat
will, of course, expel the gas, which
being ammoniacal or caribonic, is ap-
parent to the sense of smell. The
claim is then made that this odor in
dictates something detrimental, al
though, as a matter Of fact, q baking
powder that would give off no gas
when subjected to heat would be with
out leavenlng power and valuIess.
They will also mix the baking powder
given them with water. If pure it
effervesces quickly, The baking
powder they peddle being similarly
mixed foams up slowly like yeast,
standing, perhaps over the top of the
glass. This they claim as evidence
Of superiority, whereas 1t is the ex-
hibition Of trick only, their baking
powder having been specially pre-
pared to make this test by the adj
dition of flour, gum or albumen. It ia
sure evidence of adulteration, OF
course the object of these fraudulent
tricks Is to destray confidence in all
other KINDS OF baking powder, and to
sell the patlcular brand for which the
women are travelling.
Were this the whole of the opera
| ton, housekeepers would not often be
deceived. Every intelligent person
knows that baking powder is not
made to be used in this way, but in
cooking where its action is entirely
different from that produced by dry
heat or by mixture with water alone.
The chief object of this jugglery is to
destroy the baking powder given for
testing; or by heating it to drive off
its leavening gases, and so weaken 1t
that when Ased 1t will fail to work.
At the next baking there is heavy
food OF course, and the tramp
probably gets the credit of having
told the housekeeper valuable fact
instead Of having spoiled her baking
powder, as was actually the case
The average tramp" will, In this
way destroy from fifty to seventy-five
pounds of baking powder day.
A second method of spelling for USE

where they are not permitted to ex

Those farmers are most successful
in the long run who grow a sufficient
variety Of crops to have something to
sell at all seasons. The dependence
on specialties sooner or later proves a
broken reed, which pierces the hand
that rests on it. Besides, few farmers
have enough working capital. and
have some odds and ends to sell at
differerent seasons saves the need of
borrowing or running in debt. The
little additions to income from these
sources help more than their amount
for If the debt-making habit is not
formed 1t is with any family q saving
of a good many dollars per year.

The Minneapolis Evening Journal
is taking great interest In the wheat
interests of the state and it's editorials
upon the subject are worth careful
perusal, In last Mondays issue it
explains the effects of the not un-
common practice of storing wheat in
elevators early III the season. 1t says:
1t not infrequently happens that
wheat stored in elevators is receipted
for with the agreement that the eleya-
tor compay shall deliver to the owner
of the wheat an equal amount of the
same grade whenever he calls for it,
or shall pay him the market price for
his wheat. This is perfectly fair and
the farmer has no ground Of COM
plant against the elevator company.
But the effect OF this innocent trans
action is not always so harmless.
Very often this grain stored by the
farmer is shipped out and goes to
swell visible supply in some shape
and thus contributes to the depression
of prices. The wheat having been
shipped and sold the elevator COM
pany gets tie use of the money till
such timo as the farmer chooses to
sell the grain he had stored or to call
for delivery of the grain itself. The
elevator company during that inter-
val may be able to use the money in
large number of transactions without
paying interest for it and indeed while
the farmer Is paying storage on grain
that is not in store, hoping that prices
may advance. There Is no fraud
about this, but is almost universally
losing game for the farmer.
This Is not all of it, however, The
grain il often stored as collateral for
loan. The farmer is not ready to
sell because he believes wheat will go
| up but he needs money, and by stor-
ing his grain the elevator company
will give HIM an advance OH his crop.
| The funds SO loaned to farmers come,
in part at least, from the sale of grain
upon which they are paying storage
That is to say the farmer stores his
wheat at the risk Of it's going into the
visible supply and helping to depress
prices; he pays storage on the wheat
which may or may not be in store;
and if the wheat on which he Ia pay:
ing these elevator charges has been
sold the elevator company is able to
loan the money back to him, which il
received for his own wheat, at higt
rate Of interest.

farmer to sell at first 30 as to be abb,

A very important decision of the
supreme court is one recently rendered
to the effect that railroad companies
in this state must fence their lines of

reason of such neglect. The damages,

Last week the Tribune made
mention of the fact that c. l.. Brown,
In behalf of the people of Stevens
county, is making an appeal to the
supreme court in regard to the taxa
ton of railroad lands. From the brief
recently printed we quote the closing
argument rs follows:
"Unless this Court should find that
all the foregoing propositions are
groundless, and the law clearly
against us in this case, its decision
should be against the Respondent and
In favor of the people. In other words
if there is reasonable doubt as to
| what the law is, we should be given
the benefit of it. Judge Berry hints,
in the opinion written by him i'll the
PaIcher case, that it was for the in
terest of the State that the Court
should hold as it there did OH account
of the poverty of the railroad COM
panies at the time. and the fact that
IAN outlet by rail for the products of
the Safe was prime and pressing
necessity"
If the poverty of the rail road COM
panies was an argument for ruling in
their favor in those days, certainly
the opposite argument will apply now.
From small, poverty striker corpora
tions, they have grown to be giant
monopolies. Men who rolled barrels
onto Mississippi steamboats, a few
years ago now wear diamonds and
ride in private palace ears because of
the money they have made i'll con-
nection with these corporations. 1t
has been used as an argument In favo"
of the assertion, that Respondent pays
its just proportion of taxes, that in
the year 1885 this company paid into
the State treasury over $27O,OOO,CO.
This argument only goes to show the
immense amount of money that the
Manitoba company is making out of
its road, for this money Is only the
three per cent. of its gross earnings
that Respondent pays in lieu of all
taxes. There is many settler on the
prairics of the Northwest who, If he
paid taxes on his income or earnings,
would pay to the state little or moth
ing; but the law compels him to pay
a percentage upon the value of the
property he has, and not what he re-
ceives for the use of it. Much of the |
lands of the Respondent are held at
an unreasonable figure because they
are not taxable, and it can afford to
hold them and prevent the country |
from being settled. But, with them
subject to taxation, the time would
be short when they would all be in
the hands of actual settlers. Justice
to the people of the state demands
that this question of taxation should |
be decided in their favor, unless the |
law is clearly and pointedly against
them.n
