Preserving Milk In Eulk.

Professor Long, in The Dublin Farmers
Gazette. SAYS that Mr.. Meyers, Of Chris
tiania, has discovered a new method OF
preserving milk sufficiently for conveying
IL in bulk to English markets. and raises
an alarm as IL the flooding Of this country
with milk enm Holland also. 1t is en-
tirely improbable, however, that any per
fectly non-injurious preservative has been
discovered, all at present in use being
more or less harmful. Besides, English
farmers have before now delivered milk in
London at an average Of eightpence a
CALM all the year round, and would be
able co do 1t again il necessary, poorly
remunerative As such price is.-Chicago

braces staple and fancy groceries,

well represented, and as the lead
ing feature in that line, We are
pleased to refer to the large and
finely stocked establishment Of
Bowen d Laycock. This house
vas established about a yearand a
half ago, and outside of Omaha and
Lincoln, is undoubtedly one of the
largest and best stocked boot md
shoe houses in the state. In addi-

trade, this house has many patrons
in the neighboring towns, and also
does quite an extensive johhing

There is nothing that pertains to
