WHEAT FOR POULTRY.
The American Poultry Yard Finds
1t Good Feed.

This is one of the best grains for
poultry. The kernals may be fed whole.
crushed or cracked. The wheat may:
also be swelled in cold water for three
or four hours. The tailings, or screenN
ings as commonly called, may be used
and are richer in f1eSh-forming material
than the better wheat, but unfortunately
they often contain portion of weed
seeds of various kinds, some of which
are valueless as poultry feed; and also
broken grains of wheat, which ara
apt to be somewhat rancid, for
the covering of all grain when
intact shuts out the air and Is
essential to good keeping. Bran may
be given scalded or stirred into mash
with hot potatoes, but should be alter
mated with grain. Bran five parts and
middlings one part make miXtura
much preferred to meal. Moistened
bran seems to sour more than
the whole wheat. Wheat meal
has about the same qualities as
the grain. Wheat is dear article Of
food, generally, but is very much liked
by fowls. 1t is rich in material for
growth, and stimulates the egg func-
ton. 1t seems to be easy of digestion,
although too much of it fed suddenly
sometimes sets up diarrhea. liz
should be given less freely than corn,
Wheat screenings, as above mentioned
are full of seeds and fine dust; all this,
must be eaten if the screenings ara
ground; therefore it is best to feed them
raw

rs 1T FORGERY?
The Grand Jury Investigating

The Grand Jury Investigating
Charges Against an Attorney.
Attorney Albert Knittle, of the law
firm of Knittle & Tessier, is said to have
left Minneapolis to escape possible
Indictment for forgery on charge
brought by the Pioneer Press company.
Knttle had suit against the Pioneer
Press company for $4,000 for damages.
Before the case was tried a legal COM
plication arose, and Knittle and his at
torney objected to the ruling of the
preme court. In order to take the
case up Knittle filed bond to
secure the costs. The case was
decided against him and the bond was
certified to before j. E. VandeWaker. a
notary. Now it is alleged that Mr.. Van
dewaker did not certify the bond, and
it is also alleged that the people whose
names appear on the bond know moth
ing about it. Richard Peet, one of the
bOndsmen, said yesterday that he could
not tell whether he had signed the bond
or not. He knew that he had signed
bonds for Mr.. Knittle before, but
he didn't remember signing the
one in question. When Attorney
Squires, who represents the Pioneer
Press, learned of these facts he con-
suited County Attorney Jamison, and
yesterday an investigation was COM
menced by the grand jury, and Messrs.
Peet, Vandewaker and Paul j. Ricl1ert
were examined. The fact that Mr..
Knittle has not been about his usual
haunts since Friday last, together with
the fact that he knew the grand jury
would probably Investigate the charge
against him, has given some color to
the rumor which was prevalent yester-
day that he had fled the city.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber Of Commerce.

Wheat opened easier yesterday on change
on prospects of wheat in the Northwest due
to the heavy rams Of the previous day in
South Dakota and in Minnesota. The tenn
Der of traders was strong. however and after
an early victory had been secured by the
bears they were driven in by strong prices
and very large demand. The demand was
active and persistent and from 9212c for July
there was rise to 9412c; quickly declined to
935sc, and then fiuctuated more or less
sharply the remainder Of the session. The
basis of bull operations was on the theory
that winter wheat was damaged irreparably,
and that in any case small crop VIII be har-
vested, The market was very broad, and
traders said an easy one 10 operate on, due to
the large volume of business ana activity in
price changes.

CASH WHEAT.
Receipts were 157 cars; shipments, %
cars.
There was a good demand for No. north
ern wheat yesterday. No. hard was moving
some better. Low grades did not keep up
with grade wheat and were generally called
slow. Offerings were moderate. Elevators
were the largest buyers. Local millers and
buyers for outside account bought rather
sparingly. Prices were easy at the start, but
strengthened up later to conform with the
advance in futures, most ranging about lie
under July for No. northern, and l2c under
on No. hard.
Sales of cash wheat are on the basis Of de-
livered 0nleSs specified.

"A SUDDEN COLLAPSE.
Verdict for the Defendants in
the Clark WEraudN Gases.

A Verdict for the Defendants in
the Clark Fraud" Cases.
The two suits brought by Terrence &
Fletcher, as attorneys for the Andover
National bank, against W. 3. Clark,
Trueman E. Penney, Frank II. Bruen.
James E. Merritt and Gil G. Farley,
concerning which there was such
loud cry of fraud, did not even go to the
jury, further than that by instruction
of the court verdict for the defend
ants was returned. The actions were
brought to recover on notes made by A.
A. Camp, indorSed by Merritt q Farley,
and negotiated by w. B. Clark, on the
ground that all the parties sued had
been guilty of fraud in that they knew
the notes to be worthless, and that Camp
and Merritt Il Farley were insolvent at
the time. Judge Hicks listened to all
the evidence, and told the jury to re-
turn verdict for the defendant, Earlier
in the day the cases had been dismissed
as to Penny, Bruen, Merritt and Farley,
the Judge holding that no evidence had
been introduced to show that these four
knew anything about Camps insol
vency. There are five more cases
against the same parties on the same
grounds, which have been continued
over the term. 1t seems likely they
may be dismissed when brought to trial.
