THE RevteU of ReuieDs contains an
important article on the Armenian crisis
by an American who has lately returned
TO this county from Armenia, and
whose state hts are based on accurate
information furnished by persons
neither Armenian nor Turkish. The
illustrations are chiefly from photo
graphs taken by the writer of the ar
ticle, whose name is withheld.
THE contents of the Forum includes

an article calling attention to some of
the interesting and significant changes
in the attitude of the public mind on
many important subjects, by Professor
Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard;
The Humiliating Report of the Strike

be likely to attract the attention of
ltdutlb 10 WI JUN btu-
ison's "The Su vival of the American
Type" With courage and irankness
not always found in writer's on public
affairs he describes the public situation,
especially in the larger cities, where
the establishment of an ignorant and
alien domination compels those who
believe in genuine American govern
mental idea to fight the battle for liberty
over again, while an extreme humani-
tarianism often obscures the line be-
tween justice and generosity. The
whole paper is suggestive, and will
probably exile comment of various
kinds.
Girls who like to read about marriage
and what girl does not?-should buy
copy of the Ladies' Home Journal and
read the excellent marriage article
which Mr.. Burton Harrison has written
under the title of " Heigh Hol for a
Husband" Mrs. Harrison does not
resort to trite remarks. She is fresh
and vigorous in her opinions. Eugene
Field is not less interesting in his
charming narrative of "The Woman
Who Most Infue need Me-" while Ed
ward Bellamy sketches, in his own way,
what he believes christmas in the
Year 1000 will be like. John Ken
drick Bangs is deliciously funny in tell
ing of woman's attempt to smoke a
cigar. Frank o. Small has a very happy
paper which will interest thousands of
lovers of magazine pictures. He tells
How l Make Drawing showing
the evolution of a magazine picture
from its conception o its finish. Ed
ward w. Box is unusually strong in his

installment of his literary autobiography
which he has yet written.

Current Weekly Comment.

BEANs.-Demand has lessened to such an
extent that the market is hardly more than
steady at last quotations.
EGGs.-Receipts are large, but comprise
mainly Western eggs, which are of undesir-
able quality. Fresh eggs are relatively
scarce and prices on them firm.
FLoUR.-There has been very little doing
in -four this week. The mills keep up the
prices. The foreign demand for both flour
and wheat is very moderate indeed.
CHEEsK.-A half cont advance in the
country markets has caused dealers to
stiffen up here, but demand is as yet only
moderate for cheese at the advance. How
ever, there was little demand for it at
former prices, and an advancing market
may lend activity to the situation.
BUTTKR.-The country markets have ex-
perienced drop of about half cent since
last week, but local houses have been very
slow in following suit. Receipts have con-
tinued TO be enormous. but, as before they
have gone mainly into cold storage, and
hence prices have been easier to maintain.
Nevertheless, the market is fractionally
lower than last week.
HAY AND STRAw.-Choice hay has shown
disposition to advance still further during
the week and is quoted at S18 to $40. The
advance is due to the scarcity of strictly
choice and fancy hay and to predictions that
this years crop is not in promising condi-
mentioned factor, which is susceptible to
alteration, it is nevertheless certain that
choice hay Is in scanty supply in this mar
ket and hard to secure. The stocks Of the
cheaper and poorer grades are very large.
Straw is in slow request.
LUMBKR.-The past week has been a quiet
one in the lumber market. The trade Of
the past few days could not, how ever, be
taken as criterion" for altho1sh-July
will not be an active month, the next few
weeks will show an improvement Cargoes
of lumber that are now on the market move
slowly, but as there are not many to press,
prices are not cut to any extent. Short
lumber is quiet. Good, dry standard clap
boards are scarce and firm. The lower
grades, which are very plentiful, are dull
and easy in price. The single trade has
fallen flat, and will not revive again, prob
ably, until next fall. There is fair and
steady demand for hemlock boards, which
are very plentiful Pine boards are dull
and easy in price. Box boards are very
quiet.
WooL.-The Commercial Bulletin says:
"The market is in a condition appropriate
for July. England has surrendered to the
American advance. There is a brisk active
inquiry for wool at last weeks quotations,
and even higher figures are noted on the
first sales Of new washed ieeces. The ex-
IRENE bulls are of course disappointed
because the London market did not boom
above the Boston range upon the opening
day, but merely justified advances that had
already been made on this side. However,
the later days have more than held the ad-
vance, and, although there has been in Bos-
ton no further rise in the price established
last week on fine territory staple, there has
been an advance on fine feeces and on
mediums Of every description all along the
line. The inquiry has been good and the
attendance large"

Horns or No Horns.

In the cattle they are to handle, peo-
pie seem TO have leaning of late years
to the idea of no horns. 1t is con-
coded fact that cattle are much more
quiet without horns than with them. 1t
is fact, too, that this disposition to be
quiet among themselves goes long
way toward securing the comfort and
good condition that leads to profit in
handling of cattle. This preference of
cattle with the horns off is evidenced in
the growing popularity of the hornless
breeds of beef cattle, aud also in the
disposition to remove the horns from
steers that are to be fed in punches for
the market. We may be allowed to
venture the opinion, too, that this new
departure would have taken a still
faster hold upon feeders in the last few
years if low prices had not cast gloom
upon the feeding industry. With bet
ter prices and better feeling pervad-
ing cattle circles, we predict that the
dehorning practice will receive new
impetus. The question does not re-
solve itself into one of breeds, but into
one of methods only. If it is true that
cattle do better with their horns off, it
has been demonstrated to be a thor
oughly practical business transaction to
remove them, and at small cost, 80 that
we may expect TO see the practice more
than ever popularized in the next few
years to come.-Nebr Farmer.

The Pig in Agriculture.

He is found to produce pound of
produce from less food than either cat
tie or sheep, and is, therefore, the most
economical machine to manufacture
our great corn crop into marketable
meat. Our people are becoming wiser
every year, and exporting less, proper
tionately, of the raw material and more
of condensed product. If it takes seven
pounds of corn on an average to make
pound of pork, as is no doubt the
case, the farmer begins to see the great
economy of exporting one pound of
pork, bacon or ham instead of seven
pounds of corn. The difference in cost
of freight makes = fine profit for itself;
besides, the pound of meat is usually
worth more than seven pounds of corn
in the foreign market, The production
of pork should be encouraged on the
further consideration that it carries off
less of the valuable constituents of the
soil than beef. The fat pig contains
only three-fourths as much mineral
matter per hundred weight as the fat
steer, and only two-ffths as much nj
trogen per hundred weight, and there
fore the production of ton Of pork on
the farm will carry off only little more
than half the fertility carried off by a
ton of beef. This gives, in round num-
bers, the comparative effect of produc-
ing pork and beef. 1t is thus evident
that the pig should have high place in
our agriculture; should be fostered in
every way, his capabilities studied and
pushed, his diseases carefully noted
and prevented, for he is the most profit
able meat-producing animal on the
farm. The pig is An excellent adjunct
to the dairy, turning all the refuse milk
whey into cash. AS he is king of our
meat exports, 80 let us treat him with
great consideration. Western Swine

The Wife's Life Oh the Farm,

The health and happiness of the fam
lily great deal depends on the woman,
therefore she should economize her
time and strength all she can. In the
first place, kitchens are not supplied
with all the modern improvements,
which would very much lessen work.
Our brothers are far ahead Of us in this
respect, as they supply their farms with
all the modern machinery, and as soon
as there are improvements they ex-
change the old for the new, and 80 keep
up with the times and lessen their
keeping and the wise articles that are
printed in the papers touching domes-
tic matters lay the greatest stress on
the importance OF system in the home.
I believe in having system about
work to certain extent, having work
planned for every day-days for wash
ing, ironing, baking, etc., for these
things must be done. Let the other
extra work be done when convenient
and not run everything on schedule
time. Have a place for everything and
not spend time hunting for missing ar
ticles that would be better spent read
ing. A great deal has been written
about the drudgery of farm life, but /
don't look at it in that way. l think it
far ahead of the city life of women.
But, anywhere, our lives are what
we make them. Women's work has
changed from that of years ago; then
women were expected to milk COWS and
do most of the chores as well as their
Homework. For recreation some have
taste for reading, some for music and
almost all like to 60 to good grange
meeting. l think the hours for recrea
ton just as necessary as hours of work
One that excludes herself from all rec
reation gets narrow-minded and selfish
II is necessary for all to read little u
