thoughts revealed to the public dur
ing some great struggle with hims e If
Another of the unseen forces, which
he alluded to was conscience, which
he described as the sheriff and Judge
which held man prisoner, and tried
him in court for his actions. Man
was the only being in existence who
could be self-tempted. Animals may
be led by others, but man is the only
being that will knowingly and deliber
ately go to his own ruin. Here again
are noted the exercise Of an I'M
known force. Shakespeare, in des-
criblng Lady Macbeth had exhibited
the working of conscience and showed
that there was an evil spirit working
about US. And to further illustrate
he quoted from Burns and Goethe,
and said that he would give year of
his life, if he could thoroughly i'm
press upon the mind of every young
man the terrible lesson from the clos
ing scene in Faust.
He briefly alluded to the unseen forces
in sociallife, dwelling a few minutes up
on that mysterious force-public opin-
ion-and commenting upon its power.
One of the great political parties had
found it's greatest obstacle in the
words "Black Repu blican," while it
took another twenty years to recover
from the effect of the word Copper
head" Such is the effect of the'u
seen forces exerted through public
opinion. .~..
What put into our minds and
hearts all those sentiments and emo
tions? BY what mysterious power
those subtle influences? They come
not through materialism or evolution,
but by the hand of an unseen power
God. He then described the coming
and going of Christ. Some said he
was dead. Dead? Mark the flight
of the centuries land here in master
ly manner, he recorded the impor
tant events of each that had inter
vened, and showed that in the bright
ness of these closing years of the 10th
century the power of God is as great
and wide spread as when Christ was
upon earth. His closing remarks were
a glowing tribute to the Christian
religion, as was indeed his entire lee
ture, and he who missed it,
missed one of the finest treats
of late years in MankatO.

significant, and there is no appreciate
diminution, except where the animal is
diseased. The likelihood of spreading
tuberculosis in an animal already dis
eased at the time of the test is declared
to be so very slight that in practice it
may be ignored. The tendency of
tuberculin is rather to heal the disease,
although it rarely cures it, than to make
it more severe. Among the thousands
of cases in which cattle have been tested
with tuberculin, there are records of
not more than ten in which pre-existing
tuberculosis was made more active
The influence of stabling, food, pro-
ductivity and general care and manage
ment on the disease are considered in
detail. The authors extensive ex-
perience is drawn upon to elucidate
and illustrate many topics, and the con-
clusion, based upon actual experience,
is reached that the eradication of tuber-
culosis in herds is possible. The
methods, however, that it is nece ssary
to adopt are 80 expensive that the state
cannot make all of them compulsory,
and cannot, therefore, attempt at pres
ent the thorough and complete eradica-
ton of the disease; but some state
supervision is desirable and would do a
great deal of good.

Current Weekly Comment.

OATs.-The market Is quiet, with buyers
operating sparingly as they need supplies
CoRN.-The market is frmer but trade
rules quiet, with no one meeting more than
pressing needs.
FLOUR.-As a WHOLE the market shows a
rather weaker tone. There is nothing in
the situation to make buyers feel very san
guine of the future.
EGGs.-The Easter trade was disappoint-
ing The supply has not been very large,
but demand has been unusually light. About
12ac is the general price at the close.
PoULTRy.-It is difficult to sell choicest
marks at over 9lc, and some sales have
been made at Sc. Frozen lots in steady de-
mand and firm. Very little live poultry
coming in.
BKANs.-Receipts have increased. and as
buyers are still holding back receivers have
been obliged to shade prices. Choice do
nestle Pea and Mediums rule about Sc
lower than week ago. Other varieties are
also easier.
LUMBKR.-Spruce lumber is held quite
firm by the manufacturers, and hemlock
boards, which are not plentiful, are also
firm. Clapboards and shingles are fairly
stronger. Lath are held firm by the mills.
No change in quotations.
HAY AND STRAw.-Trade is quiet. but the
best hay holds steady in price. The bulk
OF the business in choice hay is about S14 to
14.5O, but some fancy cars will command
more. The market ON lower and medium
grades of hay is we'll supplied. Rye staw is
firmer; oat straw is dull.
CHEEsE.-Although receipts are mostly
for export, they are usually large for this
season of the year and include some lots Of
new cheese. Demand Is still slack and full
quotations are realized for sma ii lots only.
To move any considerable gu antity, liberal
concessions would have to be made.
BUTTER Receipts are still heavy, and,
under continued light demand, the market
is ruling / to 20 lower than week ago.
Stocks OF fresh.made creamery have &C.
cumulated, so that for the bulk of the sup
ply the market is exceedingly dull and
weak. Only the very finest marks of fresh
made northern creamery are salable at zoe
per Id.
WooL.-Of the wool market the Boston
Commercial Bulletin has this to say: "Busi-
ness has been large, but almost exclusively
confined to foreign woods. This increase
in sales is likely to create false impression
unless analysed. The scarcity of American
wool is such that, under the old tariff, we
should certainly have had smart advance
in wool. Now having the world for our
source of supply, manufacturers simply
turn to foreign substitutes. 1t should also
be stated that among the reported sales is
the greater part OF a cargo OF Australian
wool sold to arrive Ton approval). 1t has
arrived and has been approved, and is
therefore now for the first time incorporated
in the sales"

per acre. Can substitute cotton-seed
meal for phosphate and obtain as good
results? You give the fertilizing value
of cotton-seed at 1927 .25 per ton; it can
be bought here at $40 or less, while
phosphates range from 1926 to $32 or
more, with their fertilizing values, as
per experiment station reports, at
about 50 less than the price per ton
A. L. S., Charlotte, VT.
ANswERs.-We find a number of
dairymen feeding cotton seed meal with
bran. Some of them report good re-
suits, while others complain of trouble
in the cows udders and teats. Dark
colored, damaged meal is almost sure
to cause trouble. Bran is somewhat
laxative in its effects, and if pains are
taken to keep the cows bowels open,
it may be safe to feed heavily of cotton
seed meal; but our own experience is
against it, unless some laxative food is
given with it. This meal is now by far
the cheapest substance for feeding cows
or plants. We would certainly use it
in preference to other forms of organic
nitrogen in making home mixture.
On page 139, Professor Voorhees, sug-
gested 1000 pounds of cotton-seed
meal, $50 of dissolved South Carolina
rock, and $50 of muriate of potash, as
good mixture for potatoes. As ex-
planned under Primer Science" we
would add some nitrate of soda to this.
For corn and oats, we would use 100
pounds less cotton-seed meal and 100
pounds more muriate. In general
way, this will answer, unless you have
experimental enough to know that your
soil needs more or less of potash and
phosphoric acid.-Rural New Yorker.

Green Fodder for Hogs.

Feeding hogs green corn-fodder will
not produce cholera, as an inquirer init
mates. That disease is caused by spe.
cific germs or heterogeneous which
are in this case small plants. These
getting into the system produce dis
ease. There are great many kinds of
disease germs, as we'll as germs that
are beneficial in many ways. Most
persons not acquainted with hog chol-
era call almost any swine disease by
tn It name, and l feel sure that hogs
are in many cases thought to have
cholera when in reality they do not
l have known of no serious results
from judiciously feeding green corn,
fodder. Many tons are annually made
use of in this manner. 1t 10 sncculent
food, and a sudden change to an exclu-
sive diet after feeding dry food might
cause serious securing in pigs. The
change should be gradual. In cases of
reported deaths from using this feed
would be inclined to think that de-
rangement of the digestive organs was
the cause and not cholera. 1t would
not be advisable to confine pigs to this
diet exclusively, but given with small
quantity of dry corn or with bran and
shorts would not expect serious
trouble. - Professor Shepard, in Troy
Times.

Nebraska Dairy Law.

The Nebraska legislature has enacted
new dairy law, the main features of
which are as follows: All substances
made to resemble butter or cheese from
pure milk are defined to be imitation
butter or cheese. 1t is made unlawful
to color any imitation butter or cheese
the natural yellow color of pure dairy
products, or to keep or offer for sale
any imitation dairy product 80 colored
All products designed to be used as
substitutes for butter or cheese must be
branded or legibly marked, and all pack.
ages and tubs to be used in packing or
shipping the same must be marked with
the words " Imitation Butter" or " I'm.
itation Cheese" Any railroad or ex-
press company taking imitation dairy
goods for shipment must bill them as
such, and any merchant selling imita-
ton dairy products when butter or
cheese is desired is subject to severe
penalties. 1t is also provided that if
any hOtel-keeper, restaurant or board
ing-house where food is sold desires to
use imitation butter, he must place a
card in the dining-roo in conspicuous
place containing the words, " Imitation
Butter Used Here" Suitable penalties
are provided for the various offenses
which may arise from attractions of
this law. Whatever the outcome of
this law may be, it is rather stringent
measure designed to secure purity in
dairy products and honesty in trade in
dairy goods. The clause prohibiting
the use of yellow coloring matter in i'm
itation butter, if enforced, would fully
protect the public from the use of cleo
margarine when butter is desired, and
the oleo manufacturers deem the Ne
braska dairy law a prohibitive law as af-
fecting their interests. Press.

Horse Notes.

THE gelding is as unproductive as a
bicycle, and but eats his work up
while the mare will, if good one, raise
a fine colt every year, and do just as
much work and be all the better as a
brood mare. In the one there is profit;
the other is absolutely protitless.
THAT care must be taken in feeding
wheat is the experience of all who have
tried it, but it may be as Judiciously fed
to horses as to other stock, if ground
and mixed with oats, corn, bran and
other common feeds. This mixture is
better than when these other feeds are
given only, and it is certainly better for
horses.
THE American draft horse of large
size and model form is winning his
way to the hearts of the American peo-
pie, and is admired in the streets as the
great utility horse of the age. At the
horse shows he is the center of en-.
thusiastic attraction. The two, four
and six-horse teams win repeated APP
plause.
LACKING the help which the horse
gives, life could hardly be maintained
under the present conditions, 80 much
do we rely upon the strength, speed
and docility of this animal. Neither
would civilization have developed to it's
present form without him. We can al
most distinguish between the races of
men by the use they make of the
horse.-Exchange.
