Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. May 1G.-The senate
committee on rivers and harbors is
busying itself pairing down the appro-
priations for the Northwest and trans
ferring them to Eastern states. They
cut down the Sault Ste. Marie and Hay
Lake channel from S75O,OOO to $780, 900,
taking one-third from the house appro-
priation. Also struck at Marquette and
Duluth, but the exact amount cannot be
ascertained. As now arranged by the
senate committee, the bill may not pass
the senate, and certainly will not pass
the house. When informed of the
cheese pairing at Duluth, Knute Nelson
swore by the Eternal no bill shall ever
pass which pares down any part of Min
nesota's rights in that direction.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Twenty Mills at WOrk-A Re
marie a hlR Record.


markable Record.
The Northwestern Miller will say to-
day: The mills made very good show
ing again last week, the product beng
larger than the week before by reason
of one more mill running. The output
for the week was 170,3O0 bbls-averag-
ing 2S,3SS bblS daily-against 16S,60O
bbls the week before, and 10000
bbls for the corresponding time in
1887. There are twenty mills in
operation, to-day. the same as week
ago, but another that was closed
days repairing will be started
tomorrow with daily output of
1,400 bbls. The flour production Of
the week gives promise of exceeding
that of last week. MiIlers still COM
plain of the flour trade being of very
diScOuraging character. and while no
prolonged shut-downs have yet oc-
CURED, there is strong talk of soon
bringing some of the mills to stand
still if there is not an improvement in
the situation. The manager of a 500
barrel mill to-day stated that he should
positively stop grinding as soon as
present orders were filed. During the
week prices of flour have been adj
vanced materially in order to keep
somewhere near wheat, and buyers, not
yet being convinced that the higher
values have other than a speculative
basis, are slow to take hold, and the
sales occurring are of scattering char
acter. One thing said to be affecting
the market unfavorably is the DISPOSE
ton of Eastern jobbers to sell from
stocks bought below present prices. at
a little under what the millerS are will
ing to take. There is practically no ex-
port demand. The direct exports of
flour for the week were $4,000 barrels,
against 1880 barrels the week before.
This gain is probably attributable to old
orders being just filled.

Arizona ana texas bringing the same
good news.
Between winter, which refuses to
loosen its hold, and summer standing
ready to catch on, spring is getting
pretty tight squeeze in this part of the
country. Still, if it results in immunity
from the chinch bugs, our farmers will
not regret this slight change in the
usual order of things.
Large records simply show the utmost
capacity of the animal to aSsimilate her
food and turn it into milk, says II. G.
Jewott. We doubt if there is any profit
in what is produced over and above
good ordinary keeping, except to make
a great reputation for individuals and
families.
1t is generally admitted by the trade
that the restrictions on Oleomargarine
have increased the consumption of gen
uine butter in all sections, and consid-
erably larger quantity than usual is
needed to meet the wants of the con-
SumerS.
Prof. Arnold states that it costs more
to make milk from old cows than it does
from young ones having the same milk
capacity. He says, as rule the best
effects do not last beyond the eighth year
of the cows dge.
Canadian cheese makers are indignant
at the alleged fact that United States
dealers in cheese palm off this side of
the line an inferior product for the
Canadian article.
A poor process of manufacture will
spoil the product from the finest cream
ever collected from milk. Then why is
there not money i'll learning how to
make il?
In Missouri the season is three weeks
later than last year, with good deal of
rain, but wheat and oats promise full
average crop, and corn may turn out
well.
George S. Barnes, one of the Dakota
bonanza farmers, OH his recent return
from England, brought with him for
seed ten bushels of pure Russian hard
wheat.
A farmer at Judson, Mimi, says he
drilled his corn last year for the first
time, and claims to have saved one-third
of the work and had an increased yield.
The best practice approves the press
ing of butter into neat pound prints as
the most taking form" for putting it
in market.
Linseed meal is gaining favor very
fast in the West as food for dairy COWS,
as well as for fattening animals.
A Minnesota farmer believes that no
fodder is equal to green amber cane for
producing butter.
