CHICAGO LIVE srooR MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 13.-TSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. l-CATTLE.-The fresh arrivals,
to-day, were placed at 5000 natives, 5000
Texans, and 200 stillers. The aggregate
supply ON sale however, amounted to about
$4,000 head, $500 having been carried over
from yesterday. The market for natives
was not only DC and 10c lower but dull, and
very unsatisfactory to the sellers early,
though developing considerable life later on.
Heavy beeves were unusually plentiful, and
received the brunt of the Decline selling
over Is to 20c lower than on Monday or
Tuesday last. Smooth, fat, light to medium
night steers were in good demand by both
Eastern shippers and dressed beef men, and
such descriptions sold at about Yesterdays
prices, and rot more than &c and 10c lower
than early in the week. -Greenish" steers
were a drag and with difficulty found an
outlet at concessions Of fully l0c from yes
terday and from Is to 25c below Mondays
quotations. The cow trade, as for some
time past, dragged at bedrock figures
for low grades, but heifers sold 10
good advantage. The Texas movement,
while not active, developed no further de-
cline, and the supply was cleared within 10c
of MONDAYS and Tuesdays value. Choice to

Butter for Culinary Purposes.

Farmers Home.
In the Orient, where the writer of this
use of lard for culinary purposes is not
known. The hog. as an article of food, is
forbidden by the Mohammedan's religion
as well as by that of the Jewish, and il is
only here and there, among some Christian
communities, where hog meat and lard are
sometimes used. The Europeans and
Americans who live in Syria and Palestine
import their hams, very seldom q keg of
lard, from some European port. Olive Oil,
the fat of the sleeps tail and melted but

used with us. Olive oil is worth from 10 to
10 cents a quart, aud when fresh, HIS an

ket with all the fresh butter needed. they
put up the surplus for winter use by de-
priving it of the elements which cause the
rancidity. The process is very simple and
easily accomplished. Before the butter has
time to develop any faint, it is put into the
melting pot, and over slow fire. allowing
it to come to the boiling point. For fifteen
or twenty minutes the boiling IS continued,
during which time it is repeatedly stirred
to prevent Gaseous matter, which fails to
the bottom, from burning. and thus impart
