ketable size. 1t may possibly in some
cases pay to keep grade steers OIL
choice character till they are three, but
they ought to weigh 1.40O to 1,6OO
pounds at that time to be profitable.
Good grade steers will weigh as much
or more at two years old as scrubs at
four.
The cheapest and best mode of keep
ing lice out OF the poultry house is to
add a quart of kerosene oil to each

Breeders of fancy fowls, when pressed
with orders, some times send out eggs
that are small and understood. While
such eggs may hatch, yet, as rule, the
chicks will be weak and not easily
reared. Only fuil-SiZed eggs should be
shipped for Matching purposes.
Such perennial herbs as sage, fennel,
balm, mint, hoarhound, lavender, rue,
thyme, SavOry and tansy are easily
grown, and should be found in every
garden, as once obtained, they require
but little labor and care.

snmeDehornad Cattle.

In speaking of the shipment of seyeral
cars of cattle from that point to Chi
cago, the Winona Republican has this
in regard to dehorning: Noticing that
the animals were all dehorned, repre-
sentative OF the Republican drew out
several interesting facts as to the re-
suits. Mr.. Rowley said that the stock
had wintered or less feed than ever
before, and yet had come through in
better condition. He attributed this
to the fact that they were not
fighting and hooking each other
so much. Then. again. it was much
easier to handle them i'll getting
them out to water, while as to shipping,
the advantage was plain to be seen.
The objection had sometimes been made
that dehorned cattle would not sell as
well in the market, but this statement
was refuted by the actual facts. Mr..
Rowley said he had seen dehorned cat
tie sell above other good cattle in the
Chicago market, the purchases being
made for the Boston market, and the
buyer saying that they would stand the
journey better and be in better condi-
ton when they got through than horned

THE TWINE TRUST.
The Farmers Will Have to Pay
From 4 to 6 Cents Per Pound for
Tariff and Trust.

I3rln ana trust.
The trust which controls the manu-
facture of binding twine in this country
have got III their work again this sea-
son, says the Mankato Review, and the
farmers OF the great wheat producing
West Will be squeezed, while our repre-
semtativeS in congress bubble about re-
moving the duties upon the raw mate
lial. II seems that the COrdage COM
lany, which is the trust controlling
this business, purchased the entire i'm
substances used in the manufact-
.Go0.ce0 pounds which the harvest
Ing machine companies got posses
sion OF. The price paid was about
o. cents per pound, and at once this
corporation put the price up to So
cents, which the Irvine manufacturers
not in the combination have to paw.
The cost of manufacture is about
cents per pound, but to keep the latter
OFT OF market the cordage company has
placed the price of Irvine at about H.
cents per pound. The result is that the
combination has the Irvine business
under their control, and the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota will have to pay
the penalty. Without the tariff, bind
ing twine might be bought for to 10
cents. With the tariff and its conSe-
Quent attendant, ''the trust" the price
of binding Irvine Will range from Is to
10 cents per pound. We put these fig
ureS upon record for the benefit of our
FARMER readers.

NEW BUSINESS.
BY invitation, and Oh motion of In
Spect0r Dobner, delegation of citizens
or Merriam Park was given a hearing
on the necessity of erecting new and
more cOmmOdiOus school building i'll
place OF the present LOngfellOw school.
In response to the arguments made, the
Chairman of the Committee on Real
Estate, in whose charge the matter had
been placed by previous action, stated
that due attention and consideration
mad already been given the subject by
the. committee, but inasmuch as the city
had assumed debt of $1,000 of the
school district named, when the same
was annexed to the city but few years
ago. 1t was thought advisable that over
lures be received by which not too great
loss would have to be sustained by
abandoning the present building, and
that the citizens interested cooperate
with the Board in solving the question
by purchase of the present building, an
exchange of sites, or in like satisfactory
manner.
With this understanding OF the case,
the matter was held open for further de-
liberation, and the delegation withdrew.

business it was, on motion of Inspector
Williams, voted, that when the Board
adlournS it does SO until Monday, the

adopted at the last special meeting, the
same was read. The same inspector eX-
pressed the opinion that the
action taken was irregular, be-
cause it confiicted with the rule
governing such cases, as he con-
sidered and understood it. The Presi-
dent referred to the fact that the reso-
luton was duly adopted by the req
uisite affirmative vote, and directed
that Bylaw No. 80. referring to con-
tracts, be read, which being done,
the Corporation Attorney was re-
quested to give his opinion in the mat
ter. The attorney, in compliance, held
that the action of the Board was legal,
since the Board had a perfect right to
award contract or make a purchase
when, in its opinion, nothing could be
gained by public advertisement

THE POTATO AS A MAGNET
TO Allure Irishmen to Dakota
Much Expected oft.

mucn EApecUeu OF 1t.
Dakota the home of the potato.
The following is what the journal, 81,
mas 10 say about the potatoes raised in
Dakota:
Dakota is quietly, but forcibly, assert
tng its claim upon the love of Irishmen.
Steadily, and without any fuss or feath-
ers, ii is proving itself entitled to senti-
ments of warm attachment i'll the heart
of every true son OF the Emerald Isle.
II is not by great subscriptions to the
Parnell fund, nor by windy express
ions of sympathy for the home
rule movement, nor by declara-
tions of uluamontanism, though these
matters receive due attention from the
generous inhabitants of the great terri
tory; yet it is not for any of these rea-
sons that Dakota is building founda-
lion for the future home of the Irish
immigrant. 1t is in its capabilities for
the production of that rich esculent
tuber, the potato, that Dakota possesses
.:he magnet that will attract to its
borders the sons of old Ireland. There is
q subtle essence of goodness peryading
the Dakota potato, and certain nobil-
1ty of appearance that marks ii from
its humble fellows nurtured farther
