The standard Oil Trust.

John d. Rockefeller, the head of the
Standard monopoly, was the owner of u
small refinery in 1852. Out of it grew
the great Standard Trust. BY 1870, the
firms of Rockefeller Il Co., and Rockefel.
Ter, Flagler a. Andrews had been organ
lied and had attained high position in
the trade. In this year the Standard
Oil Company Of Ohio was formed
with q nominal capital of 81 900, 600.
To it was transferred the property
and good will of the firms named. A
policy of aggression and absorption
was adopted, and soon the capital wlI
increased to SO, 5000 by adding tho
larger outside refneries OF New York,
Philadelphia, and Pittsburg. A Stand
ard Oh Company was organized in New
York, in Pennsylvania, and in New Jer-
sey. Then followed in 1880 the crea-
ton of the great Standard Oil Trust,
with capital of $40, 900, 900, which has
since been increased to $4,000, 900.
In it are pooled the stock of nearly all
the Standard Oil companies. and their
allied interests. The Standard made
contracts with the railroads by which it
obtained great advantages in rates.
These advantages, however, have been
stopped to n great extent by the Inter
state Commerce Act.
The National Transit Company is the
most important of the Standards vast
as it has almost absolute con
troll of the piping" of oil. The first
pipe line extended from Pithole to Mil
ler's farm, the nearest railway station.
Others were soon laid. The earlier com
panies were merely common carriers,
and made no provision for the storing OF
oil. About 1864 the first regular stor-
lge company was established at Pitts
burg to receive oil from the Allegheny
boats. In 1867 there WIS general

COb-Meal.

Some years ago there was a raging
war carried on i'll the newspapers about
the value of "cob-meal," that is, the
corn and cob ground together. Scien-
tific men took the dry cob, pulverized it,
and then analysed it to discover that it
contained no nutriment to speak of, and
counting the cost of grinding they pro-
nounced it a waste of time and labor.
The other side had only their expert
ence to offer, bnt the adoption of cob
meal got black eye until some one
suggested that the cob part of the meal
had something to do with giving the
gastric Juice of the stomach q chance to
put in its good work by mechanically
holding the particles of corn meal apart,
so that this juice could get mt the meal.
Then the managers of some of the most
progressive experiment stations decided
to give the matter practical test, and
cob-meal came out ahead.
The man who stands by and sees
COW eat an ear of corn, and notices with
what care she consumes both corn and
cob, cannot well doubt that she has
some good reason for all the chewing
she does on that old cob.
Now, that the utility of cob-meal is
settled in its favor, is q good time to
study the subject of how best to utilize
this important product. We have seen
many farmer put in a rainy day with
q sharp hatchet cutting the corn into
short pieces; while others use q spade.
Others soak the corn for several days
in barrels of water to soften it before
cutting. The better plan, however, is
to grind the corn and cob together. 1t
is stilla question with many feeders if
the meal is not better for not being
ground too fine, and this makes great
saving in the labor of grinding. In help
ing animals to digest their food we
sometimes overdo the matter, as when we
cook the food for them, and it may be
that in grinding very fine we tend to
clog the machinery of the stomach as it is
alleged, by causing the meal to form in
small balls, when it should retain its
granular condition. However this may
be. it is we'll to remember that the ten
lency of scientific thought is in favor of
fine grinding, while the emphatic opin-
ion of some of the best and most intelli-
gent and successful feeders is in favor
Of coarse grinding. The proper thing
10 do is to try both, and decide it for
yourself after giving it thorough and
,areful trial with your own stock

Secure the Food First.

The majority of persons who open up
new farms invest most of their money
in stock. They think that the animals
will grow and multiply while they are
improving their places and raising food
for them. Many find at the end of their
first years operation that they have
nothing to feed their animals except
wild hay and little sod corn. They
have several litters of pigs, but next to
nothing to feed to them. They can
manage to keep their cows and steers
on poor hay, but they will come through
the winter in bad condition. Their
horses will lose flesh if they do not have
some grain, and they will need oats or
corn to enable them to work in the
spring. 1t seldom pays to purchase
corn to feed to hogs, and a new
farm is the poorest of all places to try
the experiment with hope of success. If
man has good buildings and lives
where corn is plenty he may make
money by buying it and feeding it to
hogs. With poor buildings and a
scarcity of corn the prospect is good for
losing money.
All kinds of farm animals will depre-
ciate in value if they have nothing but
wild hay to eat. If they have been ac-
customed to better living they will not
be likely to breed. Cows will fail to
give much milk, and young cattle will
gain very little. Horses must be well
fed, especially when at work, or they
will fall off in condition. Improved
stock of any kind run down very quick
" when taken from comfortable quar-
tiers of breeder to place of farmer who
has poor buildings and no stock food but
wild hay and little sod corn. They
are accustomed to warm barns, good care,
and the best of food. If deprived of them
they at once begin to lose flesh and vigor
and in q year they begin to look like
scrabs. No farmer should take fine ami
mails to place that is not prepared for !
them. Their superior condition when /
he buys them is partly owing to good
blood and careful breeding, but more is
due to good quarters, careful attention,
and excellent food. Like their former
owners, they have been accustomed to
good food.

The Census of Lepers.

The census of 1881 gave 131, 618 as the
number of lepers in India, number
that is believed to be from 4, 900 10 5000

ton being %, 9S2 of the former and 80, :
636 of the latter. OF those who are act
tually known to be lepers only / per
cent. come under treatment in asylums
and other medical institutions. A con-
temporary gives the following abstract
of that part of the report which deals
with this point: "In the Bombay presi-
dency only $40 lepers received treat
ment last year in asylums and hospitals,
although the census gave a return Of
10,S00 lepers. In Madras 438 were
under treatment in the same year, al
though the census return of lepers
in that presidency is 1900. The state
of affairs is still more remarkable in
Bengal. That presidency had no less
than 50, 500 lepers within its boundaries
ut the census, but we find that only 276
were under treatment last year. The
Northwest Provinces included 1900
lepers in 1881; last year S4S were treat
ed. The Puniab is little better. In
1881 the census returns showed 5000
lepers; the cases treated last year were
530."-lSaa Francisco C7troniele.

Sands Value in Oil Regions.

has drifted into general usage. "He's

In an oil well everything depends on
the sand. 1.-THE sand" is the rock in
which the oil is found, and on its quail

If no sand is found the well is immedi-
ately abandoned. If the sand is good
that is, of a course texture the well is
more than likely to be good one, but if
the sand is fine and hard it is sure to be

Married Women in Persia.

AS soon as she marries the Persian
woman enters an anderson of her own.
This is term equivalent to harem, and
means literally the inner apartments.
Clubs are not permitted in Persia, nor,
indeed, would they easily become popu-
lar, because in the anderson Persian
has a club of which he is the little god,
while there the Persian women WELD an
influence as great, if not greater, than
/ any enjoyed by European women. At
ter the days work is done, after the Wis
its of ceremony have been paid, after
/ the stroll or the canter when the sun is
drawing low and his setting rays are
/ tinging mountain and field with roseate
glow, the Persian gentleman retires to
! the seclusion of his anderson. Once
i there and the door closed, no one can
enter but the eunuchs or the slaves.
The master is alone with his family.
Sheriifs and creditors cannot disturb
him, nothing short of an order from the
Governor or the Shah.
Now it is that the woman exerts her
influence 1t is suppose that therere.a
many hatreds and feuds among tine yari-
GUS wives of harem. Doubtless there
were such, but scarcely more than occur
among women Of society e sewhere. And
it must be remembered that a polyga-
nous life is custom to which every
Persian woman is habituated from birth,
and looks forward to as matter of
course. What would therefore be q ter
rible indignity and curse to an American
woman, produces no impression on a
Persian wife. 1t should also be remem-
bered that Persia is provided with n
written code which, among other mat
tiers, prescribes the most careful regula-
tions for the direction of married people
and the protection of the rights of
women. These regulations are carefully
observed by men as well as women, both
because common sense shows them the
importance of such observance, and be-
cause the code and custom alike allow
sufficient license to reduce the burden
of conjugal ties. If man has three
wives he cannot give exclusive attention
to one to the prejudice of the others.
1t is share and share alike. But if he
manifestly prefers one to the others,
there are regulations prescribing fair
exchange. Thus, ii each of the three is
entitled to an equal portion of his socie-
ty on successive weeks, they may agree
to accept from the 'ayorite equivalents
that compensate for the loss of the hus-
bands company.
II he in turn has great liberty in ex-
ercising the forms of divorce, yet it must
be done with certain definite forms and
phrases, and the divorce is not final I'M
til pronounced on three separate occa-
sions. He must also return her dover
to the divorced woman. On the other
hand divorces work no injury to her, and |
she may Immediately remarry. Then, !
besides, n Persian woman has legal |
right to form what is called temporary |
without a sur on her reputa-
ton. 1t differs from the regular form
of marriage in that she brings no dover,
the man giving her n present instead,
which he cannot recall.-Ne0 York
