There is considerable dissatis-
faction among Congressman
because of the exclusiveness affec-
ted by certain department officials,
and unless something is done to
allay it an early explosion may be
expected, and it will not be the
congressman that will get hurt.
Because a man happens to get
into the cabinet or al the head oil
an important bureau is no reason
why he should act as though he
was sole proprietor of the entire
country.

Selling of certain American mer-

government was perfectly justif-
able, as the commanders of the
vessels wilfully d~isobeyed the
marine laws of that country. The
New York papers tried to make a
big sensation out of this little
matter, probably because the
vessels r owned and sailed by
merchants of that city.

Representative McCord took a
day off and introduced bills to
create federal establishments in all
parts of his district. He has had
in mind introducing a bill for a
public building at Ashland, as the
government expense there is up
wards Of $4,000 for rental for
offices for the postofice, land
offices, collector of port and Indian
office; but it appears that Mr.. Nc
Cord must have glanced over his
district and rather than cause any
ranglings of local jealousies he
introduced bills for buildings at
Chippewa Falls, Wausau, and
Marinette, taking in the four quar-
ters of the district. Ali of the
buildings call for an expenditure
of $4,000, except Wausau, which
is for $4,000.

STOCK ITEMS.

With CATTLE when the supply Of feed
is short IL will often be advisable TO
sell direct from the pastures, instead Of
finishing on grain.
A days work is. much more easily per-
formed with 4 good team than with a
poor one, and this is certainly true on
the farm as well as in any other kind Of
work.

DIR. Ferdinand Rubin, leading farmer
of Dickinson County, Kan, reports
mysterious loss of cattle in the south
part of the county. He himself lost
thirteen head in one day. The animals
were apparently well, but lay down and
died in an hour. Other farmers are
losing large numbers and the epidemic
is spread ng, causing much uneasiness
among stock owners
DR. Paul Paquin says The first thing
TO do in case Of blaclf-leg is TO remove at
once from the place where the malady
started, all the stock showing no sign
OF the disease and leave the sick ones
there. Place the apparently well ones

1t is always necessary to save waste
as much as possible, and in feeding
stock ono important item in doing this
Is to provide feeding places where the
waste will be as small as possible.
This applies not only to grain, but to
hay, straw or fodder Good managers
with feeding, boxes for grNilshould a..
ways be provided in the stables or
sheds, and il stock are fed more or less
grain outside, as is sometimes DONE
troughs should be provided. 1t is waste
to feed stock Of any kind on the ground.
For fodder or hay good racks or managers
should be provided in lot large enough
to give the stock plenty Of room, and if
there are a number Of animals it will be
better to divide them and have two or
more lots st Louis Republic.

FARM NOTES.

Unnecessary fencing adds to the ex-
| penso OF keeping up the farm without
any profitable return, while in many
cases it adds TO the cost of growing and
harvesting the crops.
For grazing alone there is no grass

equal, blue grass, and when once good
even stand is secured it will pay well to
see that it is we'll cared for.
When the fowls are crowded, either
whom eating or roosting the weeker
will become poor, while the stronger
and more vigorous will get the most of
the food and the best roosting places.
The farmers Of Johnson County, Neb,
are carefully stacking and saving their
wheat and oats straw, which is a wise
thing on their part The straw is very
bright and nice, and will make good
feed.
There were several farmers who had
TO plant their corn over this year They
considered themselves in hard luck
then, but now they are jubilant Such
pieces OF corn were benefited by the

Close.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 23. .-R G. Dun \
Co.'S weekly review of trade says; The
signs of monetary disturbance which
were noticed in previous reviews were
not misleading. At Philadelphia money
was tight, at Chicago in strong demand,
at St Louis unusually scarce at TO 8
per cent, at New Orleans tight, at Den
yer and St. Paul in good demand and al
Milwaukee more active at per cent,
firm at Kansas City and rather tight at
Detroit at per cent The obvious
and only sufficient relief is the liqui.
dation Of money speculations in stocks,
in wheat corn, oats, cotton, leather,
hides, coffee wool and especially
silver bullion, which have locked up
enormous sums In silver alone about
$40, 600, 900 has been locked up to wait
for higher prices, in grain several times
as much and In other products many
millions, while the condition OF the
market for securities was indicated by
the fall, averaging about 81 per share In
a single dsy on active stocks when
money became tight In addition the
enormous imports intended to antici.
pate the pending Tariff bill have virtu.
ally locked up for an indefinite time
many millions paid for goods and in
duties on them.
Tho volume OF legitimate business
throughout the country continues large,
exceeding that Of last year by ten per
cent outside New York and the desire
to market products quickly as prices
rise causes greater demand for currency
from the country than usual. During
the past week the treasury has paid out
only sol, 600 more than Ii has taken in.
Wheat closes 4 cents higher than a
week ago, but the advance was much
greater before the break came. Not
only have exports been arrested, but
5000 bushels OF American wheat
were reshipped to this country
from Liverpool and trades were
in progress for more Corn rose
only IL cents and oats declined ~, but
pork products were shade stronger
Coffee and sugar were held without a
break but cotton fell 5-l6 on sales OF
300, 900 bales and oil declined 81 cents
Exports Of products from New York for
three weeks of August are % per cent
smaller than last years and the recent
changes do not yet suffice to bring ex-
portable staples down to the parity OF

At noon forty engines, each having

cents an hour and the engineers TWEEN
ty-eight cents The fremen want
twenty cents and the engineers thirty
cents The men also desire the Sunday
