The following open letter to Professor
LaughIin, of the University of Chicago,
from Henry D. Lloyd, author of
wealth Against CONFERENCE.-The
work that is attracting the attention
of thoughtful men everywhere-ap
peared a few days ago in the papers Of
Chicago:
- CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 9, 1895.
ITO Professor Laughlin, University of
Chicago:
You are reported in the press to
have SAID, at a public meeting, NOvem
Der 9TH, IN Kent Hall, University of
Chicago, to the students VA others
present. that whatever might be
charged against one of the founders of
the oil monopoly no one had said that
he accumulated his millions IN any
wav that interferred with the accumu-
latiOns of others. In 1895 the Supreme
Court of Ohio found, as reported IN
volume 43 Of the Ohio State reports,
that the monopoly had a freight con-
tract with the Lake Shore railroad Ito
keep the price down for the favored
customer and Up for ali others" and
the court said tine inevitable tendency
and effect OF this contract was to enable
this company TO ruin all other opera
tors and GTive them out of business"
and the court annulled the contract as
unlawful. With the help of such IN
lawful contracts the capital of the oil
monopoly has increased in thirty years
from nothing to hundreds of millions
of dollars.
IF this was not a public matter you
would not have discussed it at a public
meeting. Allow me, therefore, to ask
a question of you, as the head OF n
of the most important departments OF
political economy in this country II
this way of accumulating millions, by
the help of unlawful contracts, to ruin
ali other operators, is not an interior
ence with the accumulation Of others;
what is the scientific name for IL, an4
for the kind of political economy which
c0mmends is for imitation to the young

PLANNING A DECISIVE BATTLE.
Campos Getting Ready to Strike a Blow
at Gomez.

HAVANA, Nov. 14-The statement
cabled to the Correspondence, of Mad
rid, from this city, that MaximoG Gomez
had been routed is not true. Gomez
has not yet been attacked by the Span
ish forces. General de Campos is now
at his headquarters, the city of Santa
Clara, laying out a plan of campaign
which should result in a big engage
ment between the Spanish troops and
the insurgents under Gomez. 1t is
thought probable that this will be the
decisive battle of the war in Cuba.
The Diario Della Marina, the leading
reformlst organ of Cuba, publishes an
editorial, in which it makes a strong
attack upon Senior Canovas del Castillo,
the Spanish premier. directly insinuat-
ing that Captain General Martinez de
Campos is backing his policy. The
article also makes strong charges
against the present policy of favoring
the conservatives, and says:
Only the resignation Of Canovas del
Castillo can save us. The rebellion was
started in a small portion of the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, and by the
policy adopted has increased, sweeping
like a wave into the provinces of Puerto
Principe, Santa Clara and Matanzas,
and even the province of Pinar del Rio
is threatened"

SKILL IN THE DAIRY.
How One May Succeed Under Any anC
All circumstances.

All circumstances.
In producing a pound of butter, says
Prof. Robertson. there are &C times
more room for skill than in the pro-
duction of l pound of potatoes. Dairy
ing offers a man the best chance for
putting his skill into money. The OBJ
ject OF the butter-maker is to get the
fat out of the milk with as little of
the other constituents in the milk as
possible. In every loo pounds OF but
ter there should be about - pounds of
water, 50 pounds of butter fat, 3
pounds of salt and > pounds of the
other constituents in the milk. A COW
is not a machine, but a living organ
ism, and therefore will not give Il diff
ferent product because she takes diff
ferent food. The food does not affect
the blood of a cow, from which milk
is largely formed. Food will affect
the quality of the milk sometimes by
changing the composition of the fat
itself. Ii the quantity of fat is not af-
fected the volatile fats from the food
will become part of the fat in the
milk. and give its peculiar flavor to
the Hlllh. lICSC NclhSl4C ION NC
expelled by heating milk oil cream to
80 degrees. The case with which
cream may be separated from the
milk sometimes depends upon the kind
of food 4 COW takes. Cows for making
butter should be handled under such
conditions as will give them perfect
repose. Cleanliness should be strictly
observed. Impure air of the stable
will affect the milk, and ensilage will
not injure the milk when fed to cows.
When COWS have beer milking 2 long
period or have been overheated, or
without salt, the milk will become
sticky and prevent a complete separa-
ton OF the cream. BY having a few
fresh-calved cows milk to mix with
the milk of COWS that have been milk
ing a long time, a better quality of
butter can be made. Keep the cream
sweet and cold, and use a suitable fer
mentation starter, and you will get a
quality Of butter in January as good
as the quality of June butter. If cream
is properly tempered, a temperature of
from ~ t IS will be suitable for churn-
ing and rs minutes will be long enough
to get butter. Prairie Farmer.

behalf of roads has been s3.55 for each
SlUO valuation in the improved coun-
ties, while those districts hat have
spent their money in piling the mud
up in the center of the roads a couple
of times a year have saved 43 cents on
each 500, an amount that has in all
likelihood been spent many times over
in horses and repairs to wagons and
harness made necessary by the awful
condition of the roads during several
months of the year. The average cost
of constructing gravel roads is various
" estimated at from 81, 200 70 81, 800 per
mile. according to the locality. Dirt
roads require two-thirds OF that sum
to keep in repair for ten years, while
the former method, il is figured, adds
$40 an acre to the value of the prop
erty.
The increase in the value of the
property is not the only return that a
farmer gets from his investment in
good roads. Gen. Stone, of the federal
department of agriculture, has found
three independent estimates which
place the yearly loss to farmers in the
United States from bad roads at about
$500. coo, 900, equivalent to 81 an acre
annually. Capitalized at 5 per cent.
this amount if saved would increase
the valve of farm land $50 an acre, or a
total increase of S12, 900, 600, COO. As the
total value of ali farms is about S26,-
600. 900. 600 this would be an increase of
50 per cent. in their value. As the
total annual value Of farm products is
only s. 800. 900, 900, one-fourth of its
value is lost through bad roads,
Comparisons have also been made
with foreign countries. The English
horse does twice the work of the
American horse, the French horse three
times the work; not because they are
better horses, but because they travel
better roads. Mr.. Wollen estimates
the annual cost of maintaining a horse
at 500. If only one-fourth of the
horses in Illinois could be spared, in
stead of one-half or two-thirds as in
England or France, the annual saving
in horse maintenance for this state

returns than the none devoted to the
roads. The League OF American Wheel
men has been gathering statistics on
the question for a number Of years.
One case that points a moral as well
as can be desired is that of the village
of Moorstown, y. J. For a number of
years real estate there was not market
able at any price. The country was
in a wretched condition. Finally the
town supervisors got together and
voted bonds to the extent of forty
thousand dollars for road building,
with the result that real estate is now
enjoying a steady demand and the
country is being supported By garden
truck that can only be transported to
market by teams.
Realizing that the matter of o i'm
provement could best be brought to
the attention of the farmer by an ar
gument of dollars and cents, the league
has compiled a great deal of literature
on the direct cost Of building roads
and the direct returns that such an
outlay will produce. Taking the state
OF Illinois, it is found there has been
built during the past ten years 955
miles of improved roadway. This i'm
provemcnt has been confined to thirty
counties. In forty-five other counties
the roads are what are termed mud
roads. Basing calculations Oh the last
ten years it is found the thirty improved
counties have been assessed for the
building and care Of the highways a
total of SO, 934, 346. In the mud districts
there has been spent SO, 696. s4s, or near
ly two-thirds as much, and they are in
no better condition than they were ten
years ago.
A comparison of values shows that
the land in the improved counties has
an average value of s21. 2s IN acre, while
that in the mud district is valued at
S12.97 an acre. The total assessment on
