RELIGIOUS BODIES.
General Conference of the United
Brethren in Christ.

TOLEDO Ia, May 13-The twenty-sec-
ond General Conference of the United
Brethren in Christ convened here this aft
ernoon, Bishop Weaver presiding. The
conference is composed of one hundred and
forty-fve ministers and sixty-two laymen.
After devotional exercises the bishops
quadrennal address was read. 1t congrat-
ulated the delegates on the Importance of
the decade in which they meet. While the
spiritual condition is not what it should be,
it has not fallen below what it was four
years ago. Continuing, the address says:
"The membership is 240 900, an increase Of
5000 each year for four years. We have
built III church houses and ninety-six par
sonages. During last year the people have
contributed for all purpose Sl,lI3,500. We
do not so much need change of machinery
as we need the energizing power OF the
holy Spirit. The church of Christ must
take the front rank The work of the
Bible Society was commended. The success
of the missionary work in Africa, Germany,
Japan and ir the Southern and Western
fields was reported. A good word was
spoken for the Church Erection and Wom-
ans Mission Associations. In conclusion
the address says: The colleges must be
our missionaries, our editors, our authors
and our leaders in church work. The stand
ard of ministerial qualification must be ad-
Vanced as the times demand The publish
ing department must be made still great
er power for good. There is need to-day
Of a higher citizenship. This must be fur
nished by the Christian church. A few
suggestions were made as to harmoGizing
the Discipline. The conference then ad-
journed for the day.

Two Black Girls Were Hanged.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, May ia third
negro is reported to have been lynched near
jeff, Ala, last night. He was implicated in
the wholesale poisoning of the Kelly fam
lily. The latest victim of mob violence is
Jim Nance, alias Williams, a discharged
negro laborer, who is thought to have in
stigated the poisoning by the girls in order
to wreak vengeance on the Kellys. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict in the
case of the two lynched girls of death at

Live Stock Market.

VEAL CALVES Prices are inclined to be
little easier, and business only moderate.
Most sales were made at 4fc, against &c last
week.
BEEF CATTLE.-There is little change to
report. The demand is limited and values
are none too steady. Western were in fair
supply and taken both for home trade and
export, prices ranging from p to 5tc per
pound live weight.
SHEEP AND LAMBs.-Receipts came largely
from the West, those from New England
being very small. Good Western lambs
were laid down here at 55c, which is frac-
ton lower than last week. Sales of sheep
were made at 3 to 5sc, and spring lambs
sold at to SC per ID.
PRICES of store cattle: Working oxen per
pair, $50 to $50; farrow cows, S12 to 500;
fancy cows, $50 to SOS; mich cows and

The reports received show that dur
ing the year $257 100 have been in
vested in new manufacturing enter
prises and that they are furnishing en-
ployment for 1853 persons. This is but
$50, 900 more than one-half as much as
was invested in 1898, which was the
least Of any of the six years in which
these statistics have been collected.
The less amount invested in 1896
as compared with previous years, is
largely due to the fact that nearly all
of the new business reported has been
small plants. The number of different
industries undertaken during 1896
compares favorably with other years.
The ITO summer hotels and homes
that have reported their business for
1896 entertained 36,502 persons and re.
ceived $207,772 for board, and $15,-
9S3 80 for livery. II we could get the
reports from all the hotels and houses
it would make a very good showing for
this class of business. Thirty-two re-
port business as an average with other
years; thirty-three that it was better,
and forty-fOur that it was poorer.

Feeding Meal In Summer.

For one thing feed is very low in
price, especially those feeds containing
much protein. Cotton seed meal is
not good feed for hot weather, but the
gluten feeds are growing in favor.
They are not nearly so rich in protein
as cotton and linseed meals, but are far
richer than corn meal or even wheat
bran. Protein is what is needed to bal
ance up the cows ration, or in other
words, the pasture feed lacks one of
the most important elements in sufli
cient amounts, and something should
be added to the cows feed to make
good this deficiency, The COW may do
well in June and July, but in August
she fails, and the question is whether
feeding meal through the summer
would not partially at least remedy this
state OF affairs. Three or four pounds
of gluten feed will make more milk in
the first part of the season, will make
the COW hold out her milk better, and
will make richer milk. Last summer
we tried this with very satisfactory re-
suits, only as the cows were coming in
in September, as we did not care to
milk them up to the time of their calv'
ing, we had to discontinue the feed,
and then found it almost impossible to
dry them off. From all accounts we
think moderate daily feed of bran OF
gluten pays all the summer through.

Selling to Retail Customers.

Market gardening, 80 far as prices
are concerned, is at present at ebb tide,
but success will come neither by aban-
donipg our profession, learned through
long years of experience, nor by de-
creasing the quantity of vegetables pro-
duced, but rather by selling to better
advantage, and cutting down the cost
of production by using every available
means for increasing the yield and
growing as much upon one acre as we
formerly grew upon two. This can
best be accomplished by heavy fertiliz-
ing, timely planting, using only fresh,
pure seeds, giving the best of tillage,
undertaking only as much as can be
done thoroughly, and above all by read
ing, study, and having our plans ma
tured so that no delay may occur when
the growing season is at hand. The 2.
F. each week has been giving the best
and latest points upon increasing the
yield and lessening the cost OF produc-
ton; therefore it is the marketing
question that l shall deal with here.
The time is past for profit to be real
lied by rushing our produce off to large
cities where it is now often slaughtered
by commission men at prices less than
cost of freight and production. 1t is
the widening of our markets which
must be looked to in future by the mar
ket gardener as source of profit.
This, according to our experience,
can best be accomplished by establish
ing trade with consumers in towns
and villages. In this way the returns
are not at any one time large, but they
are continuous, and the profits are not
all consumed by middlemen. 1t is sur
prising to what an extent consumption
can be stimulated in small town by
this method, and this 1 believe is the
only solution to the question that is
puzzling the minds of the market gar
deners to-day. 1 am acquainted with
one gardener who has an excellent out
fit for delivering vegetables to consum'
ers in winter. 1t is very similar to g
'bus" and is arranged to close up quite
tightly. There is window in each
door, and inside is small stove. The
driver sits within, as comfortable as
one could wish to be, and by this means
the owner is enabled to deliver tender
and perishable vegetables during the
coolest weather, when they command
three times the price they do in early
fall.
If more gardeners would employ
some such methods instead of rushing
their entire seasons crop to the cities
in time Of glut, there would be nc
call for curtailing the amount of vege
tables to be grown every year. CORES

Boston Wool Market.
KENTUCKY AND INDIANA.
Current Comment.

CoRN.-The market has shown a quite
firm tone during the week. but at the close
values are a trihe easier. Supplies in ele-
vators are large, but 1t is mostly for export.
CHEEsE.-Recepts are increasing gradu-
ally, but 30 far there has been no surplus of
full cream northern, and prices are still
ruling steadily at 10 to lie. But to bring
the outside the stock must be strictly fine.
A good deal Of the Vermont stock is very
ordinary and hard to sell.
BUTTER-There has been steady fair
demand since our last weekly report, and
the market has kept pretty well cleaned up,
but the sales have been at easy prices as
rule. This weeks arrivals have been
heavy, but the stock is showing consider
able Improvement in quality. Demand is
fair and the market closes with steady
tone.
LUMBER.-The market has improved lit
tie, II any, during the week. Business is
unquestionably backward, and as result,
the condition Of the market is anything but
favorable. There do not seem to be any
large orders on the market, in fact, this has
been year OF very few large orders. The
yards have been buyers but even they have
taken only what they must absolutely have.
FLoUR:-The wheat market has shown
easier values during the past few days, and
this has tended to weaken prices for flour
The demand has been dull, and even at the
lower prices asked buyers have shown no
disposition to operate ahead of meeting
pressing needs. Buyers do not appear to
have much faith in the future, and are only
taking small lots, whether on rising or de-
Ginning market.
Wool. = Sales for the week, 4,253OOO
pounds. There has been another week of
| depression as far as domestic woods are con-
cerned. Buyers take little or no interest
and on all desirable woods holders refuse to
concede, so at the present time there is
something like deadlock. AS always hap
pens when business is dull the less desir
able woods are weak Seldom has the de.
mand for wool been restricted within such
narrow limits.

Butter-Making Rules.

The instructor at Cornell Agricul-
cultural College, Ithaca, N. Y, has
sent out a list of rules about butter
making and ripening cream. He says
"The practical part of cream ripen-
ing is this: Keep your vessel so that it
may all ripen evenly, and thus avoid
loss in churning. Raise the tempera-
ture TO 62o or $50 and keep it as near
that temperature as possible until ripe,
and then cool before churning. Well
ripened cream should be coagulated or
thickened. 1t should run from height
in a smooth stream, like oil. When a
paddle is dipped into it and held in the
hand, it should stick all over in thick
even coat, not running off in streaks
and showing the surface of the paddle.
When the last drops run off the paddle
back into the vat, they should leave lit
tie dents or depressions on the surface,
which do not close up for an instant.
The cream should have satin gloss or
fresh surface. Churn until the gran
ules are the size OF wheat kernels, then
draw off the buttermilk, and wash
through two or three waters, whirling
the churn few times around. Use
from pint 10 quart VI Water per
pound of butter. Have the water at a
temperature of 400 to 450 in hot wealth
er, and from 500 to $50 in winter, al
ways depending upon the season, nat
ural solidity of the butter, warmth of
the room and size of granules. If you
do not care about feeding the washings,
/ would put some salt in the first wash
water. 1t will help to float the gran
ules better, and perhaps dissolve out
the casein to some extent. l would
generally salt the butter in the churn."
