thing that causes them to die very sud
denly. They begin to droop, and act
Rs they had Go appetite. They stand
around. paying no attention to their
food. Sometimes a bird that appears
well in the morning will be dead before
noon, with no apparent cause for 1t.
My neighbors complain that their little
chicks aud old fowls do the same. In
every case the wings droop. and they
lose appetite. viii some one explain

We wish that when correspondents
write to us on the troubles OF their live
stock they would give us more definite
information as to the previous treat
ment and feeding. 1t Is impossible to
form correct opinion from few en-.
ternal symptoms. In the present case,
these symptoms might be present In
many different diseases. We would like
to ask few questions: In the case
of the fowls whose wings dropped. were
there not lice also present? II this was

the prominent dalrymen Of the country
and received the answers which follow
It:
Question--What is the smallest num-
Der Of cows or average daily milk sup
ply that will justify the building and
operation OF a creamery!
Answers-Hoard.--C 500: milk,
1000 to 5000 pounds. 1t takes this guam
tity to pay the expense and leave any
profit ON the investment.
Hacker. 400 cows and
5000 pounds OF milk.
I Wallaee-Not less than 800 cows
Ebould be pledged.
Farrington.-In this part Of the coun-
try a creamery receiving 5000 pounds
OF milk per day ought to be fairly pro-
atable. and its prosperity will increase
with the milk supply.
Wilson. There should be 10000
pounds Of milk daily to justify a good

MEXICAN PfIRL FISHING,

country in the time OF CorteZ.
The whole coast OF the Gulf Of Califor-
MIA abOunds in pearls, and the concessions
control the entire territory. Until within
the last few years native divers were em-
plOyed. and the depth 10 which they could
descend did not exceed thirty-fye feet.
with the introduction OF diving apparatus
the limit Of depth was increased TO thir-
ty fathoms. The best divers could for
mcrly remain under water not 10 exceed

An Expensive Bovine Habit.

Among the number of Baltimore
Fresh Air Fund Cchildren who passed
through Washington a few days ago,
bound for the cool hill country of Vir-
ginia, there was one little fellow who
found the very best quarters in a hos
pitable farmhouse at Front Royal.
When the cows came up in the even
ing to be millzed, so a friend down
there writes me, the little Baltimore
boy vent down to the barnyard with
his host to see the operation. The cows
were standing about placidly, and as
is their custom at that time of the day,
We're contentedly chewing the cud. The
boy watched the milkmaids at work,
and his eyes dwelt with growing Won
der on the ceaseless grind of the cows
jaws. At length he turned to his host
and said:

them cows? s?'-Washingto Post.

EASTERN GRAIN MARKET.
ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES IN
WHEAT QUOTATIONS.
The Pit Deserted by a Large Num-
ber of More Active Scalpers,
Who Turn to Corn.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Wheat opened
at an advance of from 1sc to 1c per
bushel for December. The only ap-
parent reason was the strong Liverpool
market. The opening quotation from
Liverpool gave wheat futures at Ad
advance, and the next cablegram at
%d, making the gain 112d before trad
ing started here. The tendency dur
ing the next two hours was to grind q
little off the starting advance. The
market mill was not running with its
recent velocity, so that the fractions
came off reluctantly, and when the
bears ceased grinding out short wheat
the reduction that had meantime been
effected was partly re-established.
September was only occasionally
heard from, and then it was at some
little discount from December-some-
times 1sc and again asc under. De-
cember started at from 9014 to 903s.
declined to $3.50, recovered again TO
9014c, and then had a more severe de-
cline, getting down to S91ac as the bot
tom of the next depression. This was
due in a great part to reports from the
seaboard that foreigners were sellers
there.
While futures of wheat at Liverpool
opened higher, spot wheat was reported
Id lower Continental markets were
said to have opened at some advance,
and Liverpool cabled that the Russian
offerings were small. The London
Mark Lane Express reported the
Russian wheat crop decidedly below the
average.
Contract stock in Chicago and Cuff
elevators Saturday evening were only
664, 900 bushels. Chicago receipts were
377 cars, only thirty-six of which were
contract, and the quantity inspected out
of store was 10000 bushels. Attain
tic port clearances were again very
heavy at ,025 900 bushels in wheat and
flour of which 673, 600 bushels were in
the raw grain.
Closing cablegrams reported the hnal
changes for the day foreign markets as
follows: Liverpool-California wheat
on spot, Id higher; American req and
No. l northern spring on spot. Id low
er; futures, from p to Id higher. Paris
10 centimes lower for August, and
unchanged for later delivery. Antwerp
New York later reported a better tone
to the cables received there from the
United Kingdom, and some acceptances
of cabled offers. The market was OF
quiet character after the first hour. and
the pit was deserted by large number
OF the most active scalpers, who trans
ferred their attention to corn. The
closing price for December was S9tsc.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Dealings in
wheat to-day were confined within a
cent range. The market had fairly
steady tone, but no speculative feature.
Continental houses sold and showed ca
bles not in sympathy with .he steadi-
ness here. English markets were firm
er but quiet. Enormous seaboard
wheat and flour clearances more than
offset the enlarged movement Of spring
and winter what at interior points.
