A PANIC IN OIL.
The Market Lets Go and Brokers Lose
Their Head..

Tho Market Lets Go and Brokers Lose
Their Head,.
There was nothing in the oil market yester-
day forenoon to attract particular attention,
but soon after the noon hour it began to wab-
BILE, and everybody felt as If something was
going to happen, and it did. Shortly before the
close the props were knocked from under the
foundation, and brief period of grand and
lofty tumbling ensued, during which the price
dropped about cents.
The break was unexpected, and nobody at
the time seemed to know just what caused 1t.
1t was one of those occurrences which are la
BILE to happen any time, with or without reason
Afterward ir was said the scare originated in
Oil City, where some Of the big longs, tired OF
carrying their loads, dumped quite freely. An
other report attributed the same thing to New
York. The reaction seems to have been general
and spontaneous, and was probably due as
the way for a new deal as anything else.
When the storm struck Pittsburg there was
sudden pricking up Of ears and opening OF
mouths to take in the news and give vent to the
excitement which burst out like flash. For a
little while there were no bulls. All were
bears. Everybody wanted to sell. Nobody
point had been reached, a small buying move
ment set in, which had the effect of calming
the tempest and restoring order. The furry
was OF brief duration, but 1t was lively while it
lasted
1t was good day for the shorts but, as they
are pretty well out of the market. they were
not in a condition to profit materially by the
opportunity. Trading was, therefore. compar-
atively light. Puts and calls were SO far apart
as to afford no indication of what to-day will
bring forth, but it was the general opinion that
as there was no particular cause for the de.
preston, 1t was Of temporary character. and
would most likely be succeeded by a reaction
this morning. There were no changes in the
general conditions of the market.
A broker remarked after the close: There
is nothing in the market to cause this break.
What did it then? l am of the opinion that
the Standard has resumed its old tactics 1t
wants cheap oil tor refining. The market had
become too strong for 1t, Prices hung too
tenaciously above the dollar mark. and gave
evidence of going higher. This must be
stopped A little judicious selling could do
this. And this is what the monopoly probably
did. OF course there is no way to prove it, but
believe the Standard engineered the slump of
to-day and that, having regained control of
the market it will hold on to it for some time
to come" Fluctuations and other features are

Bad Habits Of Dairy Stock.

Some people are very much aston
ished that cows and other animals,
even though fed with varieties OF feed,
should at times persist in eating banks
of trees. old bones. and sometimes
trying their teeth on stones and other
equally innutritious articles. Philoso-
pliers are great At suggesting the need
OF tones as the cause, and generally
attribute the trouble to some disorder
OF the stomach, such as indigestion.
To our notions there are other animals
besides man that possess the powers OF
imitation. especially in the line OF
getting into mischief. Calves soon
learn through idleness, to suck each
others ears, and embryo teats, to say
nothing Of chewing haAers or any
thing that possesses q salt taste.
Heifers will. If confined together, lick
the hair OF each other just as hens
will pick each Others feathers. In
fact, there IL no end to the bad habita
animals will get into when confined
In idleness, and to this fact may, in n
great measure, be attributed the faults
complained OF, and the fact that they
are we'll fed may only aggravate the
real trouble, American Dairyman.

THE DAIRY.

I'm feeding dairy cows the fact
should not be overlooked that feeding
largely on corn tends rather to fatten
than to increase milk.
1t IL poor economy to feed COW
that does not yield largely. Every
quartof milk extra is clear gain over
the usual amount and only the best
cows should be kept.
According to Prof. Henry. OF the
Wisconsin Station, milk made from
ensilage is much more churnable than
milk made from dry fodder: less butter
fat goes out in the buttermilk.
food ensilage increases the milk
OF the cows and increases the butter
yield. There is no injury to milk,
cream or butter. The old cry that
silage spoils the milk and butter is
proved false daily on thousands OF
American farms. Indiana Farmer.
Mrs. A. l.. Thompson has been test
ing the value OF millet for feeding
dairy cows. She recently sent rs, says
m exchange, three rolls OF butter made
from the milk of cows fed on millet
only, without artificial coloring, yet as
yellow and bright as June butter, and
OF choicest flavor.
TO those who appreciate the adj
vantage Of having = succulent food in
the winter. and are willing to incur the
expense OF silO. but are restrained
by the cost Of the machinery necessary
for reducing and clevating corn. we
would say, build silo and fill il with
clover.
The manner Of milking is import
ant. A cow should be regularly,
gently and yet quickly and thoroughly
MIXED. Perfect quietness and gentle
ness should be maintained in all man
agement OF either the COW or the cali.
BY persisting in such course If man.

more valuable than the 0. di dry
mixed herd can be produced.
With pound Of salt to gallon Of
water, the butter will not need any
further sailing for the general market,
though Of course special tastes may
have to be consulted in this respect.
Butter treated us here suggested will
need very little working, only pressure
enough to make 1t firm and solid in the
tub, and no reworking will ever be
necessary. as is the case when the dry
salt is worked in American Dairy
man.
1t takes very little arithmetic,
says Major Alvord, TO prove that 200
pounds extra weight Of cow kept alive
for five years. while returning no profit
during this time, will actually cost az
much as the fatted carcass of the ami

owner. The profit OF the COW should

THE MODERN CREAMERY.
Some Of the Advantages II COnfcrs
the Farmers wife.

Some Of the Advantages II COnfcrs %
the Farmers wife.
The superiority Of the creamery sys-
tenn over the usual farm dairy was
pointed out by a farmer at late meet.
ing Of the Iowa Improved Stock Breed.
ers' Association. He speaks as follows
Of the advantages OF the farmers wife:
For thirty years our farmers wives
have been endeavoring to solve this
problem, and for thirty years they
have failed. They have toiled and
drudged at the churn. and the price Of
butter doled out in trade at the coun.
try store has not paid for the toll and
drudgery. Still, woman's toll proved
two things: that calf raised by hand
is as good at a year old rs calf that
has followed its dam; and second, that
the runty pig. which would have died
on corn and water alone, swelled out
to ample proportions when fed with
milk. And, therefore, the shrexd far.
mer saw that milk must be had for tho
pig; that tho COW must in some way be-
the center Of his system: that the pig
and the calf must be raised, and that
bOndag.. 81 the wife to the churn must
be broken. Hence the unusual favor
which the creamery has met III the
State. wherever railroads have ren.
dered cseameries possible.
The creamery takes away half the
drudgcry Of the farmers wife. What
his drudgery has been let the women
Of Iowa tell. But whilst ii removes
the dradgery it retains the income
tho monthly income-not in store &C.
counts, but creamery checks, good as
gold. And the best part or 1t Is that
this income is derived from that part
Of the milk that the farmer can most
readily spare. II is fact not gener.
ally known. that for the formation OF
bone and muscle. skim-milk, butter.
milk and .wh0ls milk are practically
equal.
This monthly income is therefore
practically clear gain. Having thus
received one profit from his cow
profit fully covering the cost of her
yearly keep, and interest on the invest.
nent-he has in the calf cheap and
available package in which to condense
his grass and hay. straw and corn.
stalks. for shipment to the markets oil
the world. And this is, the second
great advantage of the creamery.
But If the creamery blesses the farm
er's wife in delivering her from til
bondage of the churn, it -confers an
equal blessing on the farmer in prying
him out Of the rut and compelling him
to think. For he now must needs study
how TO get all the cream from the milk;
how to feed his stock to the best nd.
vantage; and. raising higher. he is,
before he is aware, balancing in his
mind the merits.Uf rival breeds and
different systems of management; in q
word. he begins to acquire an educa-
tion. which, tbtslgh not recognized by
the schools. will go farther in fitting
him for the business OF life than much
that has favorable recognition. West
