Trial. ~
The Minnesota supreme court
| Wednesday rendered 4 decision in
the case Of N. p. Clarke. resp ondent,
vs.. NJ. M. Williams. Ashley l.. Nor
ril, ct al., appellents, and the district
court was reversed. The lower
court gave a decision in favor OF the
plaintiff. and the defendants ap-
pealed. The case IN suit of Clarke
against dozen of the prominent
citizens of Little Falls to recover
about $4,000 on a guarantee signed
by them that the balance due Of $15.-
600 should be paid him for his Little
Falls mill property. This was the
bonus fund to he paid Clarke for
transferring his property to the Pine
Tree company. At the time the ne
gotiatiOns were in progress a guar
antee was given Clarke (signed by
q Little Falls citiZens) that the
amount would be paid. The form
of this guarantee was apparently
unsatisfactory to Clarke. and he in
sisted on a different one. SO an
other was prepared to he signed by
the same citizens, but when about u
dozen had signed it, it in some way
got into the possession of Clarke
apparently by error. Those who
signed it expected the former num-
Der would also sign it before it. was
delivered, and they made their de-
tense In court that the document
was never completed and that it
was not delivered to Clark.
An effort was made to get him to
push his claims on the strength of
the guarantee signed by the q, hut
he declined to DO so, and began the
suit on the other guarantee. Judge
Baxter held that Clarke had proper
possession Of the document. and re-
fused to allow evidence showing
that he was not to accept the guar
antee until it contained the same
number of signers as the one be-
fore it.
Thecasc will now come back for an
other trial.
The following syllabus of the case
is published by st. Paul papers:
l. when one or more persons
sign a joint bond as guarantors or
sureties, upon condition that certain
other persons are to sign the IA me
with them before the bond is deliv-
cred, and lis delivered without such
condition being compiled with, the
bond cannot he enforced against the
persons so signing as sureties unless
the obligee had no notice Of the con-
dition or the sureties after signing
waived the condition.
2. 1.-THE deliver y of bond to be
effective must be made with the in
tention Of passing the title to it to
the Obligee and such as would pass
it beyond recall by the obligors.
3. 1T is competent to show that
a bond was never completely execut-
ed, upon the ground that other per-
sons beside those who signed it were
to sign it but did not do so. Order

Old Things Passing Away and New
Regime at Hand
A revolution is in progress and we
will see what very few years will
bring forth. The change wrought al
ready is wonderful to behold, but it has
been too gradual to astonish people.
These changes have taken place in
every business; in some the change has
been greater than others. Agriculture,
always conservative, has been rather
slow to catch on" but is waking up
and getting the dust out of her eyes,

never knows what he can do until he
does. Calamities are often real bless.
ing, no matter how they may appear
when present. A few years ago our
farmers declared that they could not
produce cotton and sell it for less than
ten cents pound without bankruptcy.
They have sold it for less than hall
that price, and paid their old debts and
had money left They said that ruin
awaited them if they did not continue
to raise cotton. Many have abandoned
cotton, wholly or partially, and pros
pered as they never did before. Some
of them cut down orchards, saying that
the fruit made their people sick. But
the consumption of fruit has increased
900 per cent, and health and longevity
has correspondingly increased. They
said improved stock could not be
made profitable in Texas. But
many prosperous farmers are max
ing more money off fine stock than
they ever did off cotton, even
when the price was three times higher
than now. Then they planted all the
land they could, and trusted to Provi.

A New Cattle Food.

Sunfower cake has been found, es-
pecially in Russia, one of the best
auxiliary cattle foods. AS early as the
year 1866, about 100000 centners OF
sunflower oil Toll of the seeds OF
Helianthus annuus) were manufac-
tured in Russia, and it's amount has
increased year by year, it being es.
teemed as a very palatable alimentary
oil. The oil was formerly obtained
by hydraulic means; the residual cake
is harder than any other variety of
oil cake, and for this reason apparent
lv. it has not found a wider applica-
ton. Denmark and the northern coun-
tries import large quantities annually,
as do also the eastern provinces of
Germany, and the problem of its disin-
tegration has been successfully solved
by several manufacturers there. 1t is
still unknown in southern and vest
ern Germany; now, however, that it is
put on the market in the form of meal
it will doubtless soon find general APP
plication, suited, as it is, both on ac-
count of its composition and pleasant
taste, for fattening cattle. The per-
centage of protein varies between
about thirty to forty-four per cent,
the fat between about nine to eight
cen per cent 1t is possible to prepare
two qualities, one rich in protein anG
poor in fat, and tho other rich in fat
and poor in protein. When, for exam
pie, the somewhat Underground meal
is sifted, employing mesh of NM,
that which passes through is much
richer in protein and poorerin fat than
the original. while the reverse is true
of that which remains in the. sieve.--

sl,rInkare Of Corn.

Experiments made to ascertain the
loss of weight in corn by shrinkage
show that forty cents q bushel at gath
ering time will pay about as well as
fifty cents the next June. In 1893 a
farmers club in Pennsylvania adopted
resolution asking the members of the
club to make a test and find out by ac-
tual weight how much corn would
shrink or lose in weight from husking
time until the next June /. In accord
accordance with that resolution ten
farmers reported the shrinlage from
November l to February 1 as
S2S per cent, and the shrinkage
from February 1 TO June l as 72S
per cent, or from husling time
to June | next, 1913 per cent. In the
above test each farmer took double
bushel of corn ears ana kept them
separate, weighing the same corn on
the first of each month from November
to June /, inclusive.
Members of the same club in 1894
made another trial, and instead of talk
/ lUH NCuDlC VI COTu CdTS, cdCH
man was to weigh 70 pounds of corn
ears at huslsing time, about Novem-
Der, and then weigh the same corn
again ON February 1 and June l..
Fourteen farmers reported the shrink
age from November to February as
10 per cent. and the shrinkage from
February 1 to June 1 as 80 per cent,
or from huslsing time to June next,
1876 per cent.

instead of feeding to stock, this in.
formation is valuable However shrink.

COTTON SEED FOR PIGS.
Results Arrived at by Experiment at Pub
|aA't ~. gf,ttana

Resuits Arrived Mt by Experiment at Pub
lie Stations.
While two native pigs were being
fed on skim milk, one was put on a.
ration of cotton-seed meal and wheat
bran; the other on corn-meal and bran.
After about six weeks feeding on
small quantities of these meals, they
were increased TO two pounds per day,
and the cotton-seed meal apparently
caused the pig, to which II was fed. to
pine until the food was refused. After
a change to corn-meal was made the
pig recovered. The pig which was
| fed on corn-meal throve all the time.
Later little more cotton-seed meal
was fed, but, rather than risk the
loss OF the pig, 1t was dropped. Az
ter feeding a period on corn-meal,
both were slaughtered and compare
sons of live and dressed weights were
made. The pig fed on .cotton-seed
meal weighed 25 pounds less than the
other, and dressed 7l.91 per cent. of
live weight. The pig fed on corn
meal dressed 73.9s per cent. OF live
weight. 1t is showntiat these native
pigs were fed at loss of the bran
and meal fed, excepting the manurial
value, counting the skim milk as
worth 2 cents per gallon. If the
grain was charged for, the skim
milk brought less than half a
cent per gallon. A summary of
feeding test of pigs on cotton-seeed
and cotton-seed meal, made by the
Texas experiment station, published
since the above feeding was con-
cluded, showed that three Of the pigs
fed raw cotton-seed, two died; of eight
pigs fed roasted cotton-seed, six died;
of eight pigs fed boiled cotton-seed
meal, two died; and of ten pigs fed
cotton-seed meal, five died. of eight
pigs fed on corn-meal, all throve well.

Gowns That look Cool.

The saying, appearances often de-
.eivc." is platitude which applies to
dress more than any other branch Of
art, and in this connection it is the de-
cciver herself who is often most de-
ceived. A dress that looks cool to those
outside it usually feels cool to the
woman inside it. This is why dotted
Swiss and grass cloth are worn so much
this summer As matter of fact, dot
ted Swiss is not a bit cooler than
batiste, but itloolxs more so, and that
settles the question. Plain white dotted
Swiss has been worn so much that it
was growing monotonous, and it is
now so varied that one does not
recognize all the varieties at first
glance 1t comes in colors, pink, blue,
ecru. etc. Other varieties have plain
white grounds, with pink or blue or
yellow dots. A new kind of grass
cloth is on the market. 1t has dots
like dotted Swiss and is great favor
lite because it combines the beauties of
two favorite dress materials-grass
cloth and dotted Swiss. Cross barred
sotted Swiss lis another innovation.
The cross bars are usually of some
terra Gotta or dull red shade and the
material is much used for shirt waists

L..l- Arsenic In Steel.

As the result of a number of system
attic trials on. a large scale, Mr. J. r.
Stead stated in a paper before the
British iron and steel institute that
the presence of between ten per cent.
and fifteen per cent. of arsenic in
steel had no material effect upon its
mechanical properties. It's tenacity
was but slightly increased, its elonga-
ton was apparently unaffected, and
the reduction in area of the fractured
test-pieces was practically equal to
that of the same steel without the ar
senical addition. Arsenic, moreover,
had not the slightest tendency to pro-
duce red-shortness, and arsenical steel
did not appear to be more liable to cor
rosion than the same material without
arsenic. In fact, oxidation was re-
tarded by the presence of small guam
titles of arsenic, although such pres
ence rendered welding more difficult
sand materially reduced the electrical
conductivity of the metal. -Philadel-
