WITH a certain increase in the num-
Der of wheelmen and wheelwomen
to whom the advent of lower prices will
make the bicycle available-the ques-
ton of adjusting the rules and accom-
modatiOns Of our streets and roadways
in greater measure, to the needs OF
bicyclists will be one of prime import
ance in our local elections. 1t will not
be long, if the present rate of increase
in the ranks of the cyclists keeps up,
before they will have the power to
dictate, instead of being compelled to
humbly ask for certain privileges.
Inthis case, as in all others, the
majority will rule, and if the
majority of the population of any
locality rides wheels of course
any rules or laws which are made for
the benefit of the majority, or in other
words "the greatest good for the
greatest number, twill be expected to
give some privileges to the riders OF
wheels which they have not hitherto
enjoyed. We hope that when the
wheelmen do have the power to die
tate, which at present seems so near,
they will be as moderate in their de-
mands as their good sense will dictate,
and not be carried away by having the
" power on their side"

Boston Wool Market.
Current Comment.

OATs.-The market is fairly active with
the range of prices higher. Spot offerings
are light.
CoRN.-The market is firmer with prices
quoted about &c per bushel higher. The de-
mand is good with spot offerings light.
PoTAToEs.-Receipts have continued lib
eral, and there has been a steady demand
for good stock, with but little change in
prices.
CHEEsE,-Receipts for export. $50 boxes.
We still have to report a dull market with
prices about as last quoted, but leaning in
buy rs' favor il anything.
BUTTER.-There has been little change
this week, except that supplies of fresh
creamery have shortened up considerably.
Demand has continued slack.
BEANs.-Receipts nave been light of late
and a frmer feeling has been developed on
marrow pea and mediums. Choice marrow
pea are firm and selling well.
Eoos.-Strictly fancy fresh eggs continue
scarce but there is ample supply of other
grades. Fancy Mich, and some of the best
from northern Ohio and Indiana meet with
a ready sale at 23c.
FLoUR.-There is no material change to
note in the lour market. The demand is
slow and confined to a carload or 80 here
and there as some particular brand is
needed. The fluctuations in the wheat
markets check any disposition to buy ahead
of immediate wants and business is slow in
consequence.
PoULTRY.-Receipts have increased con-
siderably but have been lighter than usual
for the week previous to Thanksgiving.
The weather has been so warm that few
western shippers ave dared to pack with
out ice, and so far, receipts of dry packed
stock have been very light. Demand has
continued extremely slack.
LUMBER.-The weather holds out so I'M
usually mild that the mills in the East that
ship by cargo are nabled to continue oper-
atoms much longer than anticipated. A
few weeks ago it was thought that by the
middle of the month most Of the mills
would be shut down, yet most of them are
still running and will continue to until the
weather compels them to stop.
WooL.-The market ruled quiet during
the earlier portion of the week, inquiry in
deed being almost lacking. Towards the
close, however, there was a somewhat bet
ter demand and a larger attendance follow
ed by a decided picking up in foreign woods.
The lower prices quoted on domestic woods
last week have not been shaded further,
and indeed the market closes if anything
slightly firmer.

Millet for Horses.

The effect of such coarse folders as
millet on horses has been studied by
Professor Hinebauch of the North Da-
kota experiment station. In the first
trial, two horses were fed grain and hay
for two weeks. For ten days millet
was substituted for the hay. No bad
effects were noted from this test. A
second and similar one was made later,
when one of the horses became lame
and could hardly stand. The other
horse did not show such marked symp-
toms but when fed millet for about
three months became so lame in the
joints of the hind legs that it was al
most impossible for her move. When
the millet feeding was discontinued,
she would ecover. The lsmeness was
again produced by millet feeding.
After two years of alternate millet and
hay feeding she became practically
worthless. Professor Hinebsuch sent
out a number of circular letters to farm
ers, and from his own tests and replies
from these letters concludes that millet
alone as a coarse fodder is injurious to
horses. 1t produces an increased ac-
ton of the kidneys and causes lameness
and swelling of the joints. 1t causes
an infusion of blood into the joints and
destroys the texture of the bone, rem
dering it soft and less tenacious, so that
the ligaments and muscles are easily
torn loose. The experiences of many
farmers seem to confirm these conclu-
sions.-New England Homestead.

A Clearly Way Of Milking.

The thumb and ingerpressure, on the
cows teat, is not the cleaDest way by
which a cow can be MIXED, although
it is the quickest and easiest. Indeed,
a GOV can hardly be MIXED in a dirtier
manner, for all the filth on the teat
must necessarily be scraped from it, by
the rapid, downward pressure. Neither
is such a way of drawing the milk near
est that of the calf. When the thumb
and all the fingers are closed tightly
about tie teat, the grasp is nearer that
of the calf, han any other. Now, if
the hand is drawn slightly downward,
the milk is pressed from the teat in a
steady stream.
Such a method of milking is the
%cleanest possible one. The least dirt
falls, and the motion and grasp of the
hand is similar to the action of the
calf's mouth, while sucking. This
method of milking is slow and tedious,
if the teat is short, but the Gov can be
MIXED dry, and the milk thus obtained
is clean.-New England Homestead.
