BEANs.-Receipts have fallen off con-
5iderably, but the market las continued
dull and weak.

week, but there was plenty of stock offer

close the market had steadier tone.
PoTAToEs.-Receipts have been lighter
but still more than enough for the demand.
Best lots of Hebrons, Greco Mountains,
etc, go hard at BIC. Common stock not

PoULTRY.-Receip,s were not heavy the
past week. The market showed a better
feeling at the close, but there will be little
improvement in prices until there is some
choice bright fresh stock to offer.
LUMBER-It is needless to say that prac-
tically all vessel mills in Maine are still
operating. Frames by car are still rather
dull. Business in short lumber is only mod

War on Beet Sugar,

The growth of the beet sugar industry
in Nebraska has attracted the attention
of the Sugar Trust. Jobbers and deal
ers have been notified that If they sell
the refined product of the Nebraska
factories the Trust will decline to sell
them a cheaper grade. The result of
this inhibition is that over 100000
worth of Nebraska-made sugar is stored
in warehouses in Omaha. The matter
has been laid before the Manufac-
turers' and Consumers Association,
and efforts are making to get western
iobbers to agree to handle the Nebraska
product, regardless of consequences.
There is a strong patronage sent
iment in the state, which will, it is
said, favor the Nebraska sugar-maker
in the fight. 1t is estimated that the
years output of Grand Island and Nor
folk sugar factories will reach, if not
exceed, value of $500, 1000, or nearly
one-third of the total amount consumed
in the state.

Tuberculin.

The Boston Transcript says: Drs
Osgood and Lyman, members of the
State Cattle Commission, who have re-
Gently returned from the National Con-
vention of the United States Veterina-
rian Association at DIS Mones, Iowa
report that one of the principal mat
tiers discussed by that body was the use
of tubercuin. The consensus of opin
ion was that all health officers shou d
do all in their power to restrict tuber-
culosis in cows, and that the tuberculln
test is the only safe and practical one
establishing the existence or non-exis-
tence of the disease. Reliance upon
physical examination for the existence
of tuberculosis was generally con-
demned Since the new law went into
effect in this state, last June, leaving
the owner to say whether or not the tu-
berculin test shall be used on his cattle,
and giving him full compensation for
stock killed, the agents of the Massa-
chusetts Board have tested about $500
animals, of which more than 900 were
killed; and in every case where the tu-
berculin test indicated disease, the
post mortem confirmed its prevalence.
Many of these cattle showed no phys
ical signs of tuberculosis. The disease
appears to be general over the state,
and in some instances entire herds
been have killed."

A Frequent Trouble in Cows,

What is known as Inflammation of the
udder of milk ducts is quite common
disease in cows, and almost every dairy
man has frequent occasion to note it.
The teats will show considerable heat
at one milking and at the next the
milk when drawn will be lumpy, or full
of small bits of curd. The difficulty
with the milk will sometimes continue
for several milkings and then pass away
or grow worse in the form of a general
bad condition and loss of milking power
in the COW. Almost every owner of
large herds of cows has lost more or
less animals by this trouble. The diff
ficuty is very largely due to external
causes. The trouble is more apt to oc-
cur in winter, when the cows are
stabbed, or in the later fall months,
when they are allowed to lie out of
doors in cold frosty nights, rather than
IN warm summer weather. There are
but few dairymen who really take the
best care of the cows udder and give
her those conditions that help her to
keep this very important organ in per-
feet working order. 1t is almost pit
iful to 90 into some diaries and note
buN huhDCl VI lhJuA uuuOAo % 4 LILO
trouble, says Home, Field and Farm,
lie quite often caused by lying down on
hard, uneven floor, or by lying on
damp ground, which will also produce
garget, or by exposure to cold drafts in
the stable. One very observant dairy
man once told the editor that he had
noticed that those cows that stood next
the stone wall and those that stood near
the door in an underground stable were
more apt to take on this ailment. A
good treatment for the disease is to
wash well the affected quarters in as
hot salt and water as the hand will bear,
and afterward rub well with camphor-
ated ointment. In obstinate cases, a
dose of two teaspoonfus of nitrate of
potash and one teaspoonful of chlorate
of potash daily for three days in the
feed is a good remedy. But the best
thing OF all is to keep careful watch
daily of the conditions the cow lives in
and study of those conditions that are
hurtful to the health of the udder. Pre-
vention is better than cure.

The Spirit Of the Home Coming.

There are many people who regard
a Thanksgiving day as a meanin gless
day, and It's celebration once year
waste of time and a mockery. 1t
might have been, they 90 on to say,
day of realty to those who in earl, colo
NAL times had hostile tribes, inclement
weather, and ihi eatened starvation to
fight, and whose natures were wrought
upon TO all their depths of fear and
gratitude. But for us in these days of
no national crises, in these days of
money getting and materialism, a
Thanksgiving day means only a day in
which, oftener than not, observances are
a bore.
Yet for all that, and in spite of what
the croakers say, year ter year in
every home in town and country some
glad preparation for it is made. Feasts
are prepared Welcome stands ready
To the returning wanderer arms are out
stretched; to the homeless wayfarer
the hand is extended. Cost OF labor
and pain of preparation are forg OF EN- in
the Joy of reunion. All the year that
has gone has been with many but as
vista looking toward it. For them all
the year to follow shines as a new
pathway leading to the same bright end.
No New Highlander, close pressed as
he may be, stays willingly away from
the family gathering on that day. Rich
and poor alike are stirred by one com
mon impulse-to go home. One man
may want TO feel once more the COM
fort of an old familiar chair that no
change of fashion has moved from its
long accustomed place. Another wants
the sense of peacefulness that belongs
to a certain sunny window with gerani-
ums in it when all the world without is
quiet and stiffness reigns within. Some
want the nursery, with its tattered
books, and some the associations. of old
sounds, as the clicking of the gate or
the hurrying of familiar footsteps up
the stair Some want the friends of
childhood; and back of all, and through
all, and over all, each and every one
wants the finding again of the mother,
the face and the voice and the touch of
her-of her whose love has never fal-
tered, whose sympathy has never failed,
who welcomes them without reproach,
who rejoices in them without envy,
who is proud of their success without
measuring their failures, who he's kept
her ideal of them undimmed, and yet
who will minister to them the livelong
day as to one saved from an angry tenn
pest, her arms their support, her warm
heart their resting place.-Harper's
Bazaar.

year is uncertain. Our friend is COM
pletely discouraged, as he isn't worth a
dollar to-day, and he aud his family
do not have enough to do any more
than keep soul and body together. He
is paying ten per cent interest now.
1t is cold country, and no fuel except
at high prices. His hens laid no eggs
for several months, simply because
they had almost nothing to feed them.
His letter was written in the spring.
His horses were 81 poor from lack of
feed that they could hardly move, and
he could get no feed, as he had no
money and credit would not be given
by dealers, and his neighbors were not
much if any better off. The bank holds
his farm and everything on it as Sc
curity. What shall he do? If he gives
everything up there is little or no work
to be got there. l would certainly get
out as soon as could from such a coun-
try. You would be infinitely better off
at work by the month for some farmer
in more favored locality. With the
present prices of farm products, and
such uncertain crops and high rates OF
interest, you do not stand shadow of a
chance. Even in Ohio, however, with
more favorable seasons and lower rates
of interest, there are farmers who are
struggling along almost as hard up as
you. And where they have to pay in
terest on everything their chance is ex-
ceedingly slim. Unless one has some
kind of chance to farm successfully,
he had better be well-paid hired man.

esting to every American citizen, re-
gardless of party affiliations.

partment second to none in the coun-
try, market reports which are recognized
authority, fascinating short stories com
plete in each number, the cream of the
humorous papers, foreign and domestic,
with their best comic pictures, fashion
plates and elaborate descriptions of
woman's attire, with a varied and at
tractive department of household in
terest. The NEW YORK WEEKLY
TRIBUNE is an ideal family paper, with
circulation larger than that of any
other weekly publication in the country
issued from the office of daily. Llrge
changes are being male in its details,
tending to give it greater life and
variety, and especially more interesting
to the women and young people of the

The Girl at Church.

You pride yourself on your politeness.
You count yourself a well-mannered girl
and would be very indignant if you were
told that you were lacking in ordinary po-
likeness. When you are invited out, you
are careful not only to be prompt, but to
be considerable of your hostess. What con-
sideration do you show God when you go
to his houseY Too often you come in late,
seat yourself with little noise and do not
hesitate to turn and twist until you feel
that your skirt is arranged exactly right
and you are quite comfortable. Then you
give sigh as you look at the preacher. He
is one whose sermons you do not admire,
so while he is trying to do his duty you
coolly read your prayer book or hymnal or
look around the congregation, and catch
ing the eye of friend give shrug of dis
gust. When the sermon is over, you give
vent to sigh of thankfulness and you
never seem to realize that this bad behavior
on your part is bad behavior not only to
the Clergyman, but to that God whose rep
resentative he is.
When the collection is taken up, you
look here and there and everywhere to see
who is depositing bank note. Before
the bencdiction is said you crane yourself
like bird with its plumage so that you
will be ready to start out the very minute
it is ended. do not suppose you realize
for moment how dreadful this is, how it
is giving an opportunity to an unbelieyer
to say, "What can these Christians think
of their God when they are so impolite to
him?' Then you do something else. In
your church the pews are rented. When
you enter you close the door, and give no
poor sinner an opportunity to sit beside
you and vet in the sight of God you are
all alike, and before him the rich and poor
stand together to be judged.-Ruth Ash

Chicken Cholera,

We have no confidence in remedies
for chicken cholera, and believe the
prevention is the only thing that can
be done. When cholera breaks out
among fowls the first thing to be done
is to separate the sick from the we'll
fowls. Al once give change of food,
which should be of nourishing char
acter. Many writers believe in giving
iron in some form. The old method was
to put rusty nails in the drinking water.
English poultrymen use what is known
as " Douglas Mixture" This can be
made by putting eight ounces of sui
phate of iron (also called copperas or
green vitrioD into jug (never use a
metallic vesseD, with two gallons of
water, adding one ounce of sulphuric
acid (oil of vitrioD. The ingredients
can be obtained of any druggist. This
medicine is to be put into the drinking
water in the proportion of teaspoon
full to a pint, and is found to be
a useful tonic. AS soon as the dis
ease breaks out give this to the sick
fowls and also to the well ones to help
them resist the disease. One writer
says that he made a saturated solution
of alum, and whenever bird was at
tackled gave it two or three teaspoonfuls,
repeating the dose next day. He
mixed their feed, Indian meal, with
alum water for week. After adopting
that course he lost no fowls. Others
advocate cayenne pepper, gunpowder
and turpentine, feeding little every
other day for week. Fowls that are
we'll fed, well housed and kept in dry
place will seldom have cholera. In
fact, we do not know that they ever
have when properly handled.--Rural

AGRICULTURAL.
The Egg Product,

Hens have been remarkably indus
trious this year, and, according to r.
A. Foster of Winona, Mimi, the man
who cornered the egg market in Chi
cago last winter, the market is glutted
with eggs. According to his infor ma
ton, there is an enormous surplus of
eggs in the cold-storage warehouses
throughout the country, the surplus
over last year being about 100000 cases,
or SO 100000 eggs. The price of eggs
in Chicago now is fourteen and one
half cents dozen, which is said to be
Improbable. Unless there is long
continued cold weather during this
month and December, Mr.. Foster
doesn't see much money in the egg
market.
