The GrOut Bill.

The Grout bill has passed the ma
! tional house of representatives by a
vote of 1875 to SO. The bill says that
| all articles known as oleomargarine,
butterine, imitation butter, or cheese
not made exclusively of pure, unadul-
terated milk or cream, upon arrival
within the limits of a state or territory
shall be subject to the operation and
| effect of the laws of such state or ter
ritory in the same ann as though
/, such articles had been produced in the
state or territory, and shall not be ex-
empt by reason of being introduced
ir original packages or otherwise.
This bill should pass the senate and
become a law. 1t is unjust that the
merchants should be able to force a
prohibited article into any state just be-
cause it is in an Original package"
The law of a state may prohibit the
sale of articles by it's own citizens and
yet allow citizens of another state to
sell the prohibited articles. This is
unjust. Every state should be given
the power to regulate it's own police
affairs. We only wish the bill were
more sweeping. One of the represen-
tatives from Illinois opposed the bill,
and his remarks drew from Mr.. Hen
derson of Iowa an indignant protest.
THE opposition to this BILL" said he,
with great emphasis, comes from the
capitalized institutions in Chicago and
Kansas City. 1t comes from men like
Armour and Swift, who are destroying
the great cattle interests of my state
and other states by keeping down the
price of beeves and keeping up the
price Of b~eefsteak."
Feed for Sheep.-The feed for the
flock Of stock sheep and for the lamb
flock need not vary greatly except that
the wethers should have more of it,
and the lambs should have more OF a
different kind, with ample time to eat.
Oats, shelled corn and bran make an
excellent feed for lambs. If clover hay
is not at hand, any mixed hay will an
swer, or dry oat straw may be used.
Weed hay should only be used as a
last resort. 1t sometimes becomes
necessary to NOW a meadow where
there is a poor stand and a large growth
of weeds. Sheep will eat most of them
and can get along on them.-Ex.
Poultry Products.-The immensely of
the poultry product is seer in many
ways. Between 2,000, 900 and 5000, 900
eggs are consumed by New York city
each day. New Jersey does not pro-
duce as many eggs as its citizens con-
sumo at home. Half-a-dozen western
states supply the bulk of all the eggs
which are consumed in New York city.
Indiana sends the largest number. Next
in the list are Ohio, Michigan and Iowa.
1t is estimated that Indiana is the larg-
est egg producing state in the country.
Illinois has a large poultry industry,
but nearly all of it's product goes to the
Chicago market.-Ex.
Elaboration of Milk.-The COW elab-
crates the milk in the udder. There
is blood coming in by the arteries at
the top of the udder, which is com
posed of two glands lying l%engthwise.
Peculiar cells line the inside OF the
lactiferous ducts down which the milk
trickles to the milk cisterns at the top
of the teats. In each cell a formation
grows that is almost like a tiny bud.
That bud by and by drops off and
trickles down with the liquid milk.
These buds are the %globules of fat
from which butter is made. They float |
in the milk.
