F. N. Stacy, in his letter given

sound, and he considerably fur

Grasshoppers From Seed

w dpaSha Herald.
Mrs. John E. Young thought she ha j
engaged in new industry the other
morning when she looked over; her
window garden. Some time ago, She
sent to Ohio for some choice flower
SEEDS, and planted them with great
care In the window. But she used
earth that had been taken from the
house yard last fall.
After the seeds had been planted a
few days. Mrs. Young concluded to
examine her window garden and see
now they were growing. To. put it
mildly, she was surprised. Not a seed
had sprouted, but from the earth had
come forth about a thousand young
ana healthy grasshoppers, and they
were frfsking all over the garden.
whether the seeds produced them or
they had grown from the earth in
which the seeds were planted, is not
certainly known, but the crop raised
was a good, heavy one, anyway.

Mr.. Harvey, the schoolmaster of

logic. We have, without avail, ap-
pealed to any one for information
why, if it is gold that has appre-
ciated, the efforts are not made to
reduce the weight of the gold coin,
bringing the coins of that metal
down to silver, instead of trying to
pull silver up to gold. If, as he

If Harvey wants to make a test

to ascertain how true the certificate
of the mint on each is, let him take
ten standard dollars and a ten-doI-

take his bullion to the goldsmith's
and sell it. He would find that his
ten standards were actual fifty-cent

Bad Fire in Freeborn.

Albert Lea Standard.
One of the most terrific and disas-
trous fires that ever visited the
county swept across the country
from near the Hastings & McMiIIen
farm west to Geneva last week The
earth was parched and everything on
us surface was like finder. and the
hfe spred furiously and almost as
swiftly as a race horse. It's course
was distance of about five miles and
much OF hay, fences and groves were
consumed. Probably 100 cords of wood
was burned in the timber along the
lake, and much more damage would
have been done in the timber if men
had not all day fought the fire.

to the statement of Secretary Morton
that an investigation would be made
into the cause of high meat prices.
''There is no combine. Secretary Nor

hope that he will investigate the mat
ter thoroughly.
He is now shipping grain to the des-
titute farmers of Nebraska, and their
condition is about the same as all the
cattle-feeding districts of the central
West. The shipping has fallen off one
half from there, and a glance at the
stockyards statistics would show that
nearly three hundred thousand head
less have been received since Jan. /
than was received last year for these

when the same consignment was taken
to st. Louis 3 cents was offered. and
that when to Chicago 81 cents was Of

tuations were due to the ability of the
Big Four to depress prices.

PLANTATION seems reasonable on its face,
he does not consider it sufficient. He
says that if there was a demand for
the live cattle the price would go I'D

of food, and that it will be of special

WASHINGTON. April 11.-Secretary
of Agriculture Morton today began in
curry into the recent rise in the price
of meats, for the purpose of ascertain
ing If any combination in violation of
law exists for the purpose of putting
up prices. The secretary's letter of
instruction for the inquiry is as fol-
lows:
Dr. ID. b. Salmon, Chief of Bureau
OF Animal Industries-Sir: Furnish at
your earliest convenience a statement
OF the number of cattle received at the
stock yards in Omaha, Kansas CITY,
East st. Louis and in Chicago during
the months of January, February and
March for the year 1894 and 1895. 1t is
important just at this time to ascer-
tain as nearly as may be, from those
sources, what falling off there may be
In the cattle supply of the United
states as compared with the previous
year. In January, 1889, cattle sold for
So.IO; In February of the same year,
5000, and IN March the same year
So.nE per 100 weight at the Kansas
city yards. And in 1892 they sold in
the same market in January at s.; in
FEBRUARY, $3.50, and in March, $40 per
lOO weight, while in 1893 they sold in
January at $3.50; February. S5.55;
March, S5.7C, and in January, 1884, at
the Kansas City stock yards they sold
at S5.25; in February, $3.50, and March.
@4.o0 L wish now to ascertain the
prices paid at Kansas City and in
chicago during January, February and
March of 1885, and also the number of
cattle received at these points during
that T1me. The largest cattle receiDts
at chicago in any one day occurred.
believe, April %. 1892 when 81. 667 head
were received; and the largest cattle
receipts at Chicago in a single week
were 95,528 head, received during the
seven days ending Sept 10, 1891, and
the largest receipts of cattle for a
single month at Chicago were for Sep
TENDER, 1852, when 3S5, 466 head were
received.
BE KIND enough to instruct the agents
OF the bureau of animal industry of
the United States department of agri-
culture, wherever they may be sta
TONED, to collect and send in as ranidlv
as possible all reliable data at their
command which may tend to truth
FULLY show what diminution. if anv
there is in the cattle supply of the
united States for the year 1895. as COM
pared with previous years.
Also instruct the agents of the br-
reau of animal industries TO make
thorough inquiry as to whether in
their Judgment, there is any conbina-
ton. in violation of law, by which q

OF beef products, while it is putting
down the per capita price of cattle.
