The standard on rrus. dissolved.

NEw YORK, Sept f3--At q meeting Of
the trust certificate holders today the
great Standard Oil trust was formally dis
solved. Hereafter, il is said, the COM
panies that were in the trust will act in
dependentiy. No assurance was given,
however, that there would be any compe-
tition. The reason given for the change is
the popular prejudice against trusts.
This action, which was not quite COM
pleted at today's meeting, was decided on
In March, 1892, when a committee Was APP
pointed to wind up the affairs of the trust.
Sixty-two per cent OF the certificates
have bean turned in and exchanged
for pro rata shares of stock In
the various companies formerly con-
trolIed by the trust. Ii is thought the re-
naming outstanding certificates will come
in soon. Among those present was George
Rice, heavy refiner and well known as
the persistent and tireless litigant in suits
against the Standard Oil trust. Rice pre-
scented q long letter. which bristled
with searching questions as to
the conduct of the trustees appointed to
wind up the affairs of the defunct trust.
This created sensation in the meeting
1t was the only inharmonious incident of
the day. Ii was learned that the total
issue of certificates of old Standard trust
was SOS. 5.0.o 900. Certificates amounting
TO $50 30, 900 have been turned in. 1t is
charged that ali of the twenty concerns In
the trust will still remain under control of
the few persons who have directed its
affairs, and as long as such q condition of
affairs exists the result viii be the same as
when 1t was operated by board Of trus-

No Stock ia 1t.

An ignorant old farmer in the
rough regions of West Virginia owned
farm which was so poor, to use a
classic expression, that you couldn' t
raise an umbrella on it, when all at
once some enterprising people from
the outside world struck great vein
of coal on it and the old fellow was
rich man for that country in no
time. The outsiders could not get
hold of the farm, so they proposed to
compromise by organizing a syndi-
cate, with the old man as one of the
heaviest owners in it.
"But how air you goin' to get at
it?" he asked with puzzled air.
.Easy enough" they said; ..we'll
make stock company of it,.
The old fellow laughed as if he
had run into q great joke.
..Stock company he exclaimed,

Home Hints.

A ripe tomato is an excellent thing
to remove ink stains from paper or

For a burn, take sweet oil and
limewater, equal parts; mix and keep
the burn we'll covered with it.
All traces of mud can easily be re-
moved from black clothes by rubbing

It is said that nothing is better
than coal ashes for use in securing
steel knives and forks and tin ware
They should be sifted twice, the sec

Chemists say that it takes more
than twice as much sugar to sweeten
preserves, sauces, ETC., if put in when
they begin to cook as it does to
sweeten them after the fruit is cooked.
For painful sore feet caused b. ex-
cessive walking, long standing or
constant movement, as in the use OF
the sewing machine, a busting pow
der OF equal parts Of precipitated
chalk and tannin, or the tannin
alone, will be of much service. Apply
twice daily after bathing the feet in
warm water.
In selecting cutlery it is we'll to
remember that all fork prongs for
table use should be of silver. Taste
may govern the selection of the han
dies. Buckhorn and its imitation are
often seen. Ivory is valued, but is
not durable. Pearl is, of course, the
most elegant and the most expensive.
Celluloid and ivorine are used instead
of ivory, as they do not turn yellow
or crack. Silver handles are also
much used, though they are not
counted elegant table furniture.

THE EXHIBITION IN THE WINDOW.
In the center of the array of hats
were two human heads, which were
protruded through two artfully con-
structed holes in the polished mahog-
any which formed the flooring of the
shop front.
Each head was covered with what
appeared to be an ordinary tall hat
The head on the right had a large
window ticket behind it, on whic h
were the following words:
''Wilkins' ventilating hat. Perfect
comfort. No suffering from heat by
want of ventilation. The wearer of
this article enjoys life. The head is
human; there is no deception. The
only esta blishment in which Wilkins

1 noticed that the mahogany plank

was perforated with innumerable
small holes.
The gentleman wearing wilkins

contentment. He was evidently very

The other head presented a striking

The bread specter now makes it's

should be compelled to sell stale
bread instead Of new, to check the
consumption. 1t is a fact, proved by
the clearest evidence, that one-half
of the bread in London is consumed
the day in whicha it is baked. This
sounds very dreadful, even toward
the close of the century. The sug-
gested prohibition became law, the

the Saturday Review.

The complaint arose that potatoes

no bill was brought in to make COM
pulsory potato farming the first duty
of all good citizens. This showed
great restraint on the part of the
Legislature. Rice or potatoes were
recommended to be mixed with wheat
to the extent of one-third. Coal

hackney-carriage fares are raised.

It is curious that sheep do not APP

ment of farmers who do not keep
them. That they are profitable

management, there is no question.
Any farmer can satisfy himself of
that fact if he will simply stop and
think. He need not spend moment
of time in Investigating the expert
ences of those who keep sheep. His
own judgment will tell him that to
say the very least sheep can be kept
as cheaply as other stock can, and it
would surprise me if an intelligent
man did not arrive at the conclusion
that mutton can be more cheaply
made than either beef or pork. He
cannot help seeing that in addition
to the mutton he will have the fleece
These are all pretty good induce
ments to breed sheep. But there is
one other very important consider a.

little to start the business. In new

Breeding Shorthorns.

The following well-pointed notes
are taken from the address of Mr..
kellogg of Ohio, at recent meeting
of a breeders association of the
state:
| shall not attempt to commence at
the starting point Of this noble breed
OF rent payers nor to eulogize those
whose names have become world
wide as breeders, who have so large
ly bred up the different families, but
rather take the Shorthorns as we
find them to-day and present few
thoughts for your consideration on
how to manage so as to get the best
results to us. as breeders.
To do this the breeder must mark
out the line he will pursue. If it is fo4.
milk rather than cheese or butter, /
would make my selection, and breed
and feed for that object. If it should
be for beef purposes I should work
on that line especially. We can see
at once that to succeed in any line of
production we must carry out the
laws of nature. The demand for the
best cuts of beef and the most Of
them out of the sane animal, re-
quires us to build for that especial
object These qualities are not found
in frst-class mich COW. Nature
has formed them different. I would
say to breeders, be careful in cross
ing purposes with nature. She has
an intelligent design. Her nantes
40 x,icshloo,, h
breeder who is wise will not work at
cross purposes. If he does he will
surely fail. Nature is a generous
mother, but an ugly step-mother if
one attempts to cross her purpose.
The great mistake OF many farmers
is in trying to be penny-saving in
buying cheap seed, working with
tools unfit for the purpose required
of them, and mating their animals
with inferior sires against natures
manifest laws. There is but one re-
suit. Nature goes on with her bust
ness and the breeder comes to grief
and is ready to sell out. He simply
worked at cross purposes with nature.
She does not advertise her intentions,
nor cry them through the streets, vet
she speaks in no uncertain language
to the listening ear. If the breeder
works in unison with natures laws,
he is all-powerful and his success is
sure.
If two bullocks of given age are
cared for and fed in the same manner
for seven months, and we find that
one has made gain of gross weight
of APO pounds while the other has
made 100 pounds, should it not lead
us to look for a cause? If we find
that the health of these animals has
been good, we naturally conclude,
from the experience of many, that
one has been bred for a special pur-
pose, following natures law; the
other with no fixed purpose. One is
a money-maler to the producer, the
other a money-loser. Why so large
a per cent of our farmers will use
scrub sires and raise animals unfit
for purposes required of them, sell
ing steers past years old at $25 to
$35 when a well-bred bullock can be
raised to same age, we'll cared for
(not pampered), and sold, at present
market prices, at $40 to $50. l leave
for each one to figure out for himself
which is the most profitable animal
for the producer.
