Private Dairy versus Creamery.

There is no system of butter making
that can excel the private dairyman in
making fine article. He has the ell
tire control from the time the feed
is given the COW until the butter
reaches the consumers house. ANY
other system has only a limited con-
trol.-W. Il. Hostetter.
True; and having unlimited con-
troll, from the COW to the shoebox In
the cross roads store, is just what ails
the overwhelming bulk of 100000, 900
lbs. Of dairy made butter that is not
consumed on the tables Of the farmers
who make 1t. The good private dai.

are only as a "drop in the bucket" in
the way Of making the butter that is
actually consumed by the people other

The American Economist says
The tariff taxed farmer should keep in
mind one fact, which free-traders and
free-trade papers dishonesty hide,
viz, that the agricultural depression
at present prevalent in this country is
worldwide, and far more grievously
felt in Europe than in this country.
In England, to use the words of Lord
Salisbury, "the state of agriculture is
simply deplorable." Certainly pro-
lection is not the cause over there.

IRL II. HICI's WEATHER PROPHET

IRL IL. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET
The following taken from the "siorm
chart" for 1890 of Rev. lrl r. Hicks of
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
SEPTEMBER.
Active storm ccniers will form in
the western regions about the I'll and
Sd Of September, and during the 18th,
9TH and 9th, will travel to the east.
Many sections will get rain about
these days. Also, about the 10Th and
llth rains, followed by cool, north
erly winds may be expected. From
the Nth to 18th, heavy storms with
dangerous, equinoctial gales along
seas and coasts are to be feared.
Earthquakes at this period in addi-
ton to storms need not surprise. AS
the equinox of Mercury falls on the
2lst, and the earth at the same time,
violent movements of meteorological
elements generally will be the natural
result about the 2lst and 22d. The
last period for September will be from
the 26th to last. Cool weather with
'rost in the north, is likely TO follow
he storms of the last two periods.
Watch.

OLD BOSSES MEAN WAR.
The Fight for the Eight-Hour Day
in Chicago Only Begun.

CHICAGO, May 10.-The old Master
Carpenters association, which refused
to take part in the arbitration proceed
ings with the striking carpenters, is
making strong fight to secure
men. 1t is forming union Of nOn-union
men in opposition to the regular union.
and has agents at various points iii this
country and Canada. endeavOring to get
men. The carpenters council has Sc
cured the presence here of govern
nlent agent to look out for Canadian
carpenters imported under contract,
and has $50 pickets out watching all
contracts in the hands of the old aSsOci-
alton. In the meantime, the new
association is receiving acces-
nearly ali of the union carpenters are
at work. The old bosses association IS
making strong fight on the new aSso-
citation, which is chiefly made up of
men of small means. The old assucia-
tion has made an arrangement with the
dealers in lumber and other build
ing supplies by which the latter
have agreed not to sell to the new
bosses except for cash, which will Grip
pie many of them seriously, as thirty to
sixty days time is allowed to the old
bosses. The latter have also decided to
bid for all contracts in competition with
the new bosses at prices which allow of
little or no profit, and they will take ad-
vantage of the state conspiracy law to
hight the strikers at all possible points.
The union carpenters in their fight will
rely upon their ability to call out the
masons. brickIayers and other building
trades and all jobs where nonunion
men are employed, and from keeping
carpenters from accepting service under
the old bosses. In view of all these
things. it seems that the struggle for an
eight-hour day in this city is only fairly
begun instead of being at an end.

LONDON, May 10.-During the session
Of the house of commons to-day,
Jesse Collins, Liberal Unionist,
asked whether the government
would take any steps to en-
courage British manufacturers to send
exhibits to the worlds fair at Chicago.
if the Mckinley tariff bill, now before
the American congress, should become
a law, in view of the fact that the bill
practically prohibits the Importation of
British goods into the United States.
Rt. Hon. Sir James Ferguson, par
liamentary secretary of the for
eign Office, said that the question
of official participation in the proposed
fair could only be determined after con-
sideration of the advantages which
would accrue to British interests when
an invitation to take part in the exhibit
ton was received from the American
government. 1t is probable, he said,
that the manufacturers of Great Britain
would. to great extent. be deferred from
sending exhibits to the fair if the tariff
precluded profitable sales in America.
