Creamery Butter.

One of the least variable of farm prod
ucts. SO far as price from year to year is
concerned, is standard creamery butter.
This may be seen by comparing quota
tons of about the same date for four
years past. At Elgin, Oct. s, 1888, but
ter sold at "a cents: Oct. z, 1889, at 2514
cents; Oct. 6, 1890, at "a cents: Oct. 5,
1891, at 26la cents. This shows that one
may have tOlerably certain basis upon
which to figure in going into the dairy
business if they manufacture good
grade of creamery butter. There is.
perhaps, no other product of the farm
which has fluctuated SO little i'll price
for year ahead with any degree of GER
tainty. If we could now eliminate the
uncertain element of cost of production
We could at least have one branch of
agriculture upon as firm and business
like foundation as any manufacture
in the country. We wish the same uni
formity of price could be brought to
apply to the product of the private
dairy. Perhaps it will in time when
all private dailies make good butter.

TRENTON, n. j.. Feb. 1S.-Gov. Alb

General Stockton on the subject of the
Reading railroad deal, and the con-
clusion was that before any further
steps should be taken the attorney GEN

White Oats,

We have seen recent statement to
the effect that white oats contain more
nutriment than black oats and.should
always be chosen for feeding horses.
The only difference lies in the fact that
the blacd oats have little thicker husk,
sufficient to make a difference of per-
haps per cent in the feeding value. A
horse cannot be we'll fed for less than
so cents par day. This makes pretty
heavy drain on the farmer who carries
three or four idle head through the
winter. 1t these were brood mares, all
raising good colts TO pay their way. it
would not be so bad. One way in which
good stock of ali kinds is of the most
decided value is that it increases the
owners interest in it. A man will look
after good stock more carefully than
after lot of scrubs every time.

4 Prospective Rate War on AL
legged Cuts.


CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-There has been
considerable talk today about the proba-
Dlilty of passenger rate war to South
ern points, in consequence of the abuse
by certain lines of the special rates
adopted for the Mardi Gras festivities
at New Orleans. When the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois withdrew from its
agreement to confine theserat to New
Orleans and made a S24-rate to Mobile
because it was alleged that the Cincin-
natl lines had made S25-rate to that
point, the Illinois Central was forced to
follow suit. 1t is now claimed that one
road has secretly made further reduc-
ton of this rate to SOB. and is selling the
tickets through outside agents. Iflnyes-
tigation proves this report to be true #
Is believed war of rates can hardly be
avoided.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1S.-The stock market con-

cases insignificant fluctuations in the gen

moved by special causes. There was less
heard about gold shipments, and the appar-
ent buying. for foreign account stimulated a
somewhat better feeling among the profess
sionals. and the market, despite its dizziness.
presented during most of the day strong
front. Western Union was one of the most
prominent features of the day, and with the
reIteration of the rumors which say that the
stock would be placed upon 6 per cent
basis soon. it rose steadily, though slowly.
and retained most of its improvement at the
close OF the day.
The Richmond d West Point stocks sank
into oblivion. and the Coalers. with the single
exception of Reading. which showed only
an ordinary amount of business, were quite
neglected. Among the active shares, North
ern Pacific preferred was the only one which
gave evidence of being subjected 10 an pres

cent failed to elicit any response other than
the recovery of. the early fractional loss.
New England failed to show any of it's late
strength, and the grangers were quiet
throughout, with the single exception Of st.
Paul. There were few material advances
am ong the low priced shares. and most CON
spicuous were the Lake Erie & Western

dividend on the preferred, the latter rising
314 per cent. Tennessee Coal was also espe-
cially conspicuous in the forenoon by a rise
of 3 per cent on reported settlement of diffi-

considered inside buying, but stop order of
500 shares broke Edison lI2, only portion of

opened fairly active and strong at advances
extending to "a per cent but the subsequent
dealings failed to increase this advantage
much, and. while larger number of stocks
were traded i'll, the transactions were of the
hand to mouth ORDER and fluctuations were
on a strict parity with the business. Some

Lambs.

With good care, and where sheep are
kept i'll small flocks, 95 per cent of all
lambs dropped should be raised. If this
is not done the chances are that some
thing is wrong with the shepherd. Gen
orally speaking 100 ewes are enough to
keep in single flock. OF course, this
does not apply to such methods as must
pertain to the ranch, but is addressed to
the farmer, or stock farmer.

Watering Horses.

In the winter of 1SSS-1sS9 Director
Sanborn, of the Utah station, conducted
trial to test the problem whether
horses should be watered before or after
receiving their food. Four horses were
fed in two lots each for forty-seven
days, one lot being watered before feed
ing grain and the other after feeding
grain. The practice with the two lots
was then reversed for period of forty
three days. AS a result of the whole for
a total period of ninety days those fed
before watering gained forty-four
pounds. and these watered before feed
ing gained sixty-four pounds. This was
wholly winter trial.
A second trial was begun in February,
1891, and closing Aug. 10, covering pc
Rod of nearly six months and passing
well into the hot season. when horses
drink most, made it more determinate
than the other. The horses were

was of a steady character with increasing
tendencies. orders being larger in some in
stances with deliveries slim in arrears. The
improved attention extended by importers to
heavy cottors for the China market is a new
and favorable feature, inasmuch os the want
of such demand was to make a point in the
market. Business in prints picked up con-
siderab]y in the way of delivery of goods

were more in request. and there was some

Irregular.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Although the
Eastern trunk lines have refused to par
ticipate i'll the 500 lines cut rate on
grain from Minneapolis to the seaDoard,
the rate is still in effect to Boston, and
the 500 is said to have contracted for
half million bushels of wheat at the
reduction and TO be moving it rapidly
eastward. The tariff announcing the
reduction does not specify the connec-
ton by which the grain reaches the
seaboard, and is therefore irregular,
according to recent decision of the in.
terstate commerce commission. The
attention of the commission has been
called to the defective tariff and it will
probably be amended. As soon as the
connecting lines are ascertained an eff
fort will be made to induce them to
withdraw the rate,
