No Sailing Under False COlOrs,

Dairymen have no objections to the
sale and use of oleomargarine if 1t be
sold and used for what it is, and not
made an imitation of butter and sold
for it, 1t requires but a second thought
to see that, unless some measures were
taken to indicate to consumers precisely
the character of the article they are
buying for butter, high-class dairying
would become practical possibility.
1t costs money to manufacture the best
grades of butter, because it is a process
involving high degree of intelligence,
skill and care 1t would be utterly un-
able to compete with the cheap, un.
natural, fraudulent compound known as
oleo if the manufacturers of that arti-
Gle were permitted by law to employ
every device known to science and art
in the making and selling of their
wares as counterfeit of the genuine
article, butter. The effect of the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court, whereby it is forbidden to ship
oleOmargarne in original packages into
another state, unless it conforms to the
laws of that state, will be to encourage
the passage of wholesome state laws
upon this point. 1t would seem that
oleomargarine has already seen its
palmy days, and its recent signal dis
comfiture will be cause for great re-
joicing throughout the and.-Nebraska

Raising Lambs.

Thomas Shaw of the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station gives the following
instructions for raising lambs: L" When
the lambs are dropped give them every
attention for the first twenty-fou hours.
See to it that they do not get away
from the eve, when she has twins, and
die ON her neglecting them. When
too weak to take nourishme ut from her,
help them to take it. Get them on
their feet with prudent haste. Give
that closeness of attention which will
keep them from getting chilled, for
when once chilled it is almost certain
that they will die. See to it that the
bowels are open. The attention the
first two or three days is all important,
for if the lambs once get nicely on their
feet they are almost certain to do we'll
if they have only half chance. Feed
the dams moderately until they are
taken from the lambing-pen to join the
larger body. Then feed them with
great liberaity, and of goods which
will produce milk, as oats and bran,
and some peas or corn may be added to
enable the ewes to sustain their flesh
under the drain of motherhood Have
the lambs can get crushed or ground
oats at will, and where the ewes cannot
reach them. OF these give them all
they will eat clean, and as soon as they
eat nicely the oats may be fed whole.
Both ewes and lambs should have
nice, fine, early-cut, well-cured hay.
The kind of variety is not so important
as the qua ity. They should also get
turnips, mangels, or sugar beets sliced.
These make grand food for the ewes
after the Landing season. For milk
production there is nothing better, and
if one has some cabbages stored in eel
lar or pit, these are great food for the
lambs. In the absence of roots, ensil-
age will make a good substitute, and in
the absence of both use oil-cake. Give
ewes and lambs free access to yards
that are sunny, dry, and we'll bedded,
renew the bedding every day in the
sh DIS and all will be we'll. OF course
they should have plenty of pure water.

Food for Growing Stock,

When it is desired to force young
animals to grow rapidly the food must
be OF character suitable for that pur-
pose. Bone and muscle are of more
importance than fat The animal in
tended for market fattens more readily
as it approaches maturity, but some
young animals will not fatten at all, as
the food conduces more to growth than
to fat. If the TO I'd is not adapted for
promoting growth, the young ANNA,
though growing, will not gain as rapidly
as when the food is more appropriate.
1t il the mineral matter in foods Oime,
phosphoric acid, etc.), that creates
bone, and the protein, or nj rogenous
element, which produces the muscles,
cartilages, hide, etc. The carbonaceous
matter, producing fat, is only necessary
for a young animal in warming the
body. Animals gain more rapidly
when very young than duting any other
period, and they require food of a
varied character. To deprive them of
some needed substance may put check
on their growth from which they m ay
never fully recover. Warmth in winter
is important also, and with the sucking
animal this is provided by the fat in the
milk, but which the farmer converts
into butter when the calf is taken from
the cow.-Philadelphia Record.

Current Weekly Comment.

CoRN.-Trade is dull. but the market is
quoted higher for all grades.
PoTAroRs. - Receipts have been larger,
but there has been good shipping demand
and an advance in price.
BEANs.-Receipts have been light and de-
mand more active this week. White beans
are ruling about &c higher.
OATs.-The market shows firmer tone,
although the )lume OF trade is yet quiet,
and buyers only meet their pressing needs.
HAY AND SrRAw.-The market sho VS.
steady tone for choice hay, the demand
being fair at full quotations The supply OF
low and medium grades is excessive. Rye
straw is firmer.
Eaas -Receipts have been increasing
since our last report, aud daring the first
three days, prices fell off rapidly, best marks
selling down to 15c. Since then there mas
been gradual decline, the market closing
fairly steady at lac for best eastern and
western.
BUrrER.-There is nothing encouraging
to report. Receipts are still unusually
heavy for this season, while the demand is
below the average. The supply OF fine,
fresh-made creamery is larger than can be
readily placed, and 2lc has become the top
for the best northern.
FLoUR.-The advance in the price of
wheat during the past few days has
strengthened the market, and dealers are
generally asking anywhere from 10 to zoe.
per barrel more than was the case week
ago This does not make much business,
as buyers will not pay the advance.
WooL.-The receipts OF domestic wool,
says the Commercial Bulletin, continue to
fall off steadily, emphasizing the shortage
in the American clip. AS the sales Of do
nestle wool show an increase over the
record of last year. the result is not only an
unusually small stock of domestic wool for
the season, but most limited selection
badly distributed.
LUMBER,-There has hardly been any
change in the market on Northern and
Eastern lumber during the week, which is
not, however, disappointing, as 1t is too
early as yet flor the placing of either large
or small orders. There is about as little
call for lumber in retail way as there Ia in
a Wholesale way, making the maj ket az a
whole very quiet iadeed.

A Woman Farmer.

Miss H. of Randolph, VT, has dairy
of ten cows, and 30 manages it that she
makes the same amount of butter each
week the year through. Her butter is
first-cass and brings first class price.
She delivers it every week to regular
customers in Montpelier. Miss H.
hires the milking and stable-cleaning
done by neighbor, but every animal
is fed by her own hand. The horse,
yearling, two calves, six pigs, and
handsome flock of White Leghorn hens,
as we'll as the cows, show good care.
The barn, though small, has its space
utilized 80 there is room for all, and
everything is neat and tidy, and, above
all, though warm, is we'll ventilated,
thus preserving the perfect health of
every animal. The tillage land is ''let
out at the halves" but, with her over
sight, yields good profit to tiller and
owner. The haying is hired done for a
certain sum each year. With her

1t Smells to Heayen.O

A big skunk farm has been estab-
lished in Tompkins county, N Y,
which expects next year to have stock
of 5000 animals. Their food consists
mostly of milk, water and bits of meat,
while their beds are made of chestnut
leaves and dried grass in large build
ing. They are seldom seen during the
day; but come out at nightfall and
gambol about the yard. Beginning
with the kitten" they can be easily
tanned. When killing time comes they
are placed in tight box and chic
reformed, thus rendering their fur free
from odor. Besides the fur, a fat ami
NAL will yield nearly pint of oil that
is said to be an unequaled remedy for
stiff joints, etc.

Cater to the Western Sugar Market.

Mr.. Editor:-Having just returned
from ive-weeks' visit in the West,
among dealers of the "pure product of
the rock MAPLE" l desire to correct
some erroneous impressions that seem
to exist with our sugar-making COM
munity. The fact that the great West
must be our principal market should
lead us to cater for that trade by adopt
ing the most improved methods. Do
not get the idea that western dealers
are not particular as to quality. Fine
flavor and light color is demanded,
while dark shades, last runs and acct
dental screenings, are not wanted at
any price. 1t is well known by every
sugar-maker what the requisites are
for producing frst-quality sugar, and
to increase quantity as well as improve
quality. 1t costs but little more to run
an orchard of six hundred trees than
one Of four hundred, or one of eight
hundred or one thousand than one of a
few hundred less. The limit should be
what available trees you may have.
The product of one season will pay
you for the added expense and for
substituting, when necessary, new and
improved apparatus for the old. There
cannot be an over production of good
sugar. 1t will always be in demand,
and, with the improvement in business
generally, the price of maple sugar will
not likely be less than at present. But
dealers will not pay fancy price for
any but fancy article. AS to size of
package, unless your product is con-
tracted for, the best size is thirty-pound
tin or wood tubs, and the wood is much
preferred if the sugar is to be held
over for fall trade, as much of it must.
b isswood tubs are better than spruce,
but either will do, and are better than
tin. Do not forget that while Vermont
leads in the production of maple sugar
and the average quality is good, there
are too many that stick to the old way
OF sugaring" and the result is q
product that has little market value. II
is mostly those who make an inferior
quality of sugar that complain of low
prices. j. G. GRIaGs,

An Ohio Farmer on Free Wool.

No industry in the United States has
received less pay for the long hours of
hard work than the farmers the last ten
years. They have been drifting slowly
but surely into bankruptcy. A few
favorably situated tell US that it is
partly through shiftlessness or a lack of
business methods they do not succeed
bettsr. If that is 30, majority of
tention to something they are better
fitted for. If they can secure stu
alton, however humble, they will i'm
prove their condition. l asked an old
friend yesterday how he was getting on
He said: "Only poorly. l am alone !;
have all my work to do. My boys have
left me; have to work hard and get
nothing for it," That experience was
precisely my own. Twenty years l
have worked hard, and am not as we'll
off as when began by thousands of
dollars. Tried dairying until eleven
pounds OF pure new milk returned the
handsome sum of three and one-half
cents. Sold the cows and commenced
to raise colts, which at first promised
well. But the farmers are like flock
of sheep; if one takes the lead, they
would follow that one into the slaughter
house. l was one of the followers till
common sense said halt, and as quick
as possible, without sacrificing too
much, got out of that. While dispos-
ing of the horses got sheep, and then
1t seemed to me great pity that they
were not first tried, as the price of
wool, mutton and lamb were all the
most profitable. Our focks in Ohio
and in all suitable wool sections in the
states increased rapidly, fostered by the
Mckinley tariff, till we were in fair
way to supply the home market
wi b all, or nearly all, grades of wool.
The production had increased suffi-
cient to lower its price before the
blasting free wool swept over the
land. In few years the only differ
ence in price with foreign wool
would have been the tariff. The mil.
lion flock owners even then could have

QuigIey and Sedshs.

Sedalia is very anxious to unload
Mr. Quigley, who got the capital re.
movai proposition through the legis-
lature for them. Shortly aftert the
bill passed the Legislature, Mr.. Quig.
ley was the Hero Of the hour and
and he was given all the credit for
passing the capital removal propo-
sition. He organized a company,
secured an option on 10. 600 acres
of land and started in to sell of S..
100000 of bonds In denominations
of $4,000 each for $4,000. These
bonds were distributed throughout
the state and some of them sold.
-Sedalia being the largest pur-
chaser. 1t was soon discovered that
the bonds were worthless and now
everybody in Sedalia is ready to re-
pudiate Quigley outright. A citi
zen of Sedalia when asked the ques-
ton: What has become of the
Land and Development Company
which offered to sell ten dollar bonds
with Il promise Of fifty dollars re
turn" In answer to this question
the Sedalian said: "Oh that was O
private enterprise, with which Sc.
dalia nor Pettis county had no pub.
lie connection. We have never
paid any attention TO that" II
shows how glibly Sedalia can lie
about anything and everything that
concerns their town. Every person
in the state knows that the citizens
of Sedalia were responsible for this
land company. They depended on
this company to raise the money for
capital removal. They NO doubt are
now anxious to repudiate Quigley
the bond scheme, and the land com
pany. But the papers on file with
the secretary of the state clearly
shows that the land company was a
Sedalia scheme and Sedalia will not
be able to get out of it by trying to
repudiate Quigley and the land
company.
