Animals Kept at the Department Of Ag.
riculture For Experimental Purposes.
1t is not generally known that the de-
partment of agriculture has menagerie
in connection with it, but such is the
case. The menagerie is not very large
one, nor does it contain any rare or
strange animals. Most of them are Of
the domestic variety.
1t is part of the division of animal
industry, and the animals are used to
develop interesting cases of disease and
to illustrate the effects of an epidemic
of a particular kind which the division
may wish to experiment on with view
of stamping it out and to test various
/ kinds of foods of which a trial is thought
to be eficacious.
Comprised in this collection of ami
mails are rats and mice, guinea pigs
rabbits. different sorts of fowls, some
cattle and sheep and few others. The
larger of the animals are kept at the
breeding place Of the department, on
the Benning road, while others are dom
iciled in the basement of the division
of animal industry laboratory, near the
bureau of engraving and printing.
Down in the basement, under the lab
oratory, which was visited recently by
reporter, were seen a number Of coops
and cages, in which were grouped gum
ca pigs, rabbits and chickens. The
animals seemed to be perfectly at home
and formed a seemingly happy family,
as some guinea pigs were in the cage
with rabbits. One Of the little white
and black creatures was nibbling at the
whiskers of a sleepy looking rabbit,
which blinked contentedly, as if it en-
joyed the operation or was too lazy to
resist any trespass on the part of the
guinea pig.
A dilapidated looking chicken, which
had much the same appearance as has a
tramp who has been forced to saw wood
for a meal at friendly inn, rested
on top of a cage. The guinea pigs SEEM
ed to be the life of the place and ran in
and out with apparently little or no
concern whether school kept or not. -
On some Of the cages where the rab-
Jus WIZ SoA1hONAs pAAho IL A0A 81
black letters, was the word "rabies. +"
Upon the cards also were the warnings
to the attendants and others not to put
their hands in the cages. This meant
that the animals had been inoculated
with hydrophobia virus, and it was
therefore dangerous to handle the ami
mails. A further precaution taken in
such cases, it is said, is not to inoculate
animals carnivorous by nature, as they
become terribly ferocious, Or any ami
mails whose chief means of defense is by
biting
A cat or dog, for instance, will strive
to bite when afflicted with the disease,
while rabbit. which is purely vege-
tartan, will simply NOPE and die with
out making any resistance.
1t was stated that one steer, which
had the "blackleg, I" remained at one
of the experiment stations for about
eight years. and the persons there really
became attached to Washington
Star.

MINNEAPOLIS May 6.-The local wheat
market got a weak start today, but quickly
recovered ms failing strength, and continued
strong and active throughout the morning

ing fluttered around close to that point for
nearly an hour, then advanced to 71Rc, and
remained strong for the balance of the morn
ing session. Fine weather was the factor in
checking more radical advance, for all other
conditions are decidedly in favor of a much
higher ange of values. Receipts were mod
crate here and quite small at other points.
The news of the day was mostly bullish in
tone. Crop reports were a little varied in
character, but all agreed that the winter
wheat crop has not improved during the
week. The Ohio state report puts the con-
dftion at 4 points lower than last month.
Kansas reports today confirm the reports Of
yesterday regarding chinch bugs and private
dispatches from portions OF Illinois and In
diana say that the Hessan fly is working
great damage, and that large areas will not
produce the seed. The Northwest sends in
glowing accounts of the prospects from all
quarters except the Red river valley, where
they complain of the soil drying too quickly
after the water recedes, causing the ground
to bake. California dispatches report no i'm
provement, but previous reports of actual
damage are somewhat exaggerated. and that
with rain soon there will be a rapid recovery.

FARM TRUST A FAKE.
No Truth in the Story of a Secret Orr
ganizatf ON.

CHICAGO. May 6.-The Farmers
Voice says today: newspapers all over
the country haYe been publishing an
utterly foundationless story to the eff
feet that the farmers were forming a
gigantic trust, in the nature OF an
oathbound organization, whose object
it was alleged, was to control the pro-
duction and distribution of all agicu1-
tural products. The scene Of the
earlier operations. OF this mysterious
combine was laid in New Jersey, where
the "Agriculturalists' Protective asso-
ciation'' had been duly incorporated.
MANY Of the leading farmers of the
country have written the Voice, en-
nhatically asserting entire ignorance Of
such a trust, and Indignantly protest
ing against the proposed combine and
its purposes. The secretary Of state Of
New Jersey, in response to an inquiry
said: .'I have examined the records Of
this Office. and do not find any corpora
tion organized under the laws Of this
state by the name Of the .Agricul-
turalistg Protective association" That
Is convincing enough, and 1t may be
added that there is no possibility OF
such q trust in the future, for, while
there are farmers who would have no
hesitancy In going into such g. COM
bination. the great mass Of American
agriculturalists are utterly opposed to
trusts and combines, believing that the
law Of supply and demand, II left to
do It's perfect work, will result In

PRESSURE ON THE GouLDs.
CONSIDERABLE STRENGTH SHOWN

NEW YORK May 6.-There was consider
able strength apparent in todays stock mar
ket but it was due rather 70 the combined
effect of SPECIAL influences OF individual
stocks than to any develoDrnents in affairs
affecting values generally in the market.
The narrowness Of the market, and its pro-
fessional character left it very susceptible to
such influences, and the fact that the short
interest has been largely reduced, WAS Nht wn
by the small dimensions of the mauipu.ative
movements to offset the advances Il should
be remembered that prices were sold off, to
some extent, yesterday the suppositon
that British holders of American securities
would reflect the public resentment hereto
fore manifested over the rejection by the
senate of the arbitration treaty by offering
them for sales AS nothing of the kind aoc-
CURED the International stocks on the con-
trary showing rather exceptional strength, it
was natural that there should be some re-
covery of yesterdays losses. Another favor
ing influence was that today the time
set by the exchange houses for definitely de-
gliding whether they should make further
gold shipments. This was accepted as an
encouraging feature of the general situa-
ton. 1t was noised about the board room
during the day that one Of the largest railroad
interests had given an order for an enlarge
ment of it's holdings and the room traders
accepted this as a suggestion to buy.
Many stock movements were largely due
to special influence and their influence on
the general list was only sympathetic. The
strength of Chicago Gas was such an infiu-
ence, the dealers in that stock being larger
than any other on the list. The pressure
on the Gould shares continued very severe
and the long-continued weakness of these,
coupled with the absence of inside support,
caused the circulation Of rumors of LOU da-
ton of heavy interests. Later the prices OF
the group showed complete recovery on re-
assuring statements from authoritative
sources. Omaha declined IL per cent be-
cause no further dividend is probable this
year, but rallied point. The net gain On
the standard shares on an average was a
cifc reached 21s, the recovery being almost
complete. New Jarsey Central gained Ia
and Delaware & Hudson Is. re grangerS
showed exceptional strength, advancing from
p to Us, the latter in Rock Island O.her
gains were Laks Shore, 2; New York Cen
trail L.; and Northern Pacific preferred, 1.
The bond market broadened aDpreciabiy, but
few important changes were scored in pr1cess.
The undertone of the market was quite firm.
Government bonds were more active and ad-
vanced Slightly on purchases Of $4,000.
The total sales of stocks today were 155,-
