Asks Aid.
The executive committee of the Indian.
apolis monetary reform convention has
asked further aid of the commercial organ
izations of the country. Blank copies of a
petition are being sent out from %Indianapo-
lis to the secretaries of boards of trade and
other commercial organizations, and also
to all who attended the convention as dele
gates.
The petition is addressed to the senators
and representatives and urges the neces-
sity of reform in the national currency and
banking legislation. A letter accompany
ing this petition is signed by ii. II. Hanna,
chairman. This letter says:
1.-The members of the senate and house
of representatives need proof of public de-
mand for legislation upon the lines the In
dianapolis monetary conventian instructed
the executive committee to urge. To Sc
cure TO the president at this extra session
authority to appoint a commission a hard,
quick push must be put into the work. If
the action is not taken at the present extra
session an important opportunity will be
lost.

WHEAT TAKES A TUMBLE.

Break of Three Cents in the May
Option at Chicago.
The downward movement which has
prevailed in the Chicago wheat pit for the
past three or -four weeks eliminated Thurs
day in a drop of 3sss cents in the May option,
which closed at 655s cents, and a Scent
loss in July, which closed at 65tes cents.
The close was within u cent of the lowest
price of the day. The bottom has appar-
emily dropped out of the market. Brad
streets report of a big increase in the
worlds visible supply was:not only a pain
full surprise to local bulls, but also to for
eign traders, and a consequent sharp break
in Liverpool caples added to the demoral-
lied condition of the home market.
There was also a big smash in New York
wheat prices accompanied by an outpour-
ing of London holdings, the like. of which
has not been seen in many months. The
May option suffered chiefly, as the long
interest in that month had swelled to large
proportions, through months of accumula-
ton. From Wednesday nights close
prices dropped 3aass cents, May at the low
est point touching 71sl cents, which is the
record since last September.

HOG CHOLERA PROBLEM.
South Dakota Farmer Believes HI.
Has Solved 1t.

SV
One Of the leading hog raisers of Clay
County stated in conversation that two.
thirds of the hogs that were being fattened
last fall for market have died this winter
of hog cholera. While the estimate seems
a little high, it is perfectly safe to say that
one-half of the number have died. This
farmer has made the disease a thorough
study, and has found out several helpful
~preventives and cures. In the first place,
he says, not enough care is taken of hogs,
especially in their food. The disease usually
is at its worst in winter. Very seldom is
any caution taken in the springtimc to de-
stroy the germ of the disease, and as a con-
sequence the following fall the germs be-
come matured oncc more in the same old
places and destruction to the herd is the
consequence. 1t is by taking every pre-
caution possible in the prevention of
cholera that this farmer has succeeded in
bringing through the winter several thou
sand dollars worth of hogs without the
loss Of a single one from the disease.

milk treated by their process will remain
sweet thirty-six hours, preventing cans
from souring and thus enabling the farmer
to bring his milk to the creamery in per.
