Shipment of Butter.

The coming week will witness the
first shipment of butter by the United
States government to Europe. The
secretary of agriculture has purchased
butter from number of the best cream
cries in the United States; having the
butter chemically pure; put up in the
regular commercial packages, and is
sending it to Europe for the purpose of
having English butter consumers test
American butter, and obtain sales for
our product there. The English sup
ply now comes from Denmark mostly,
which country ships from America large
quantities of food for their COWS; and
if they can afford to ship food for their
COWS to eat, and then make the butter
and ship it to London, it would seem
that the American butter producer
would have much the advantage in
cheapness of production.
A special agent of the agricultural de-
partment accompanies the butter to
London for the purpose of taking charge
of the distribution. The secretary in
tends to continue this until the Lon
doner is convinced of the equally good
quality of our butter to any in the
world.
1t seems to be a relief, we might say,
in passing, to have a secretary Of agri-
culture who is disposed to attend to his
legitimate business and not to theorize
as much as the late incumbent.

The la grippe, that dread disease that had
such run throughout this country three and
four years since, left many who were pre-
viously in robust health with shattered con-
situations and seemingly confirmed inyalids
Prof. A. H. Nye, living at No. 300 Olive
Street, Cedar Falls, Iowa, was among the
number left by the disease in precarious
condition, his nervous system shattered, and
with general debility of his entire system );
no strength, feet and limbs badly swollen, in
fact, he was almost helpless. Prof Nye is a
native of New York State, having come west
in 1861 healthy, robust man. He is a school
teacher by profession, having served as coun-
ty superintendent Of schools of this BLACK
Hawk county, several terms, and he has
the respect Of all with whom he comes in con-
tact. His helpless condition called forth
the sympathy of the entire community. He
tried the best medical skill procurable, and
spent most of his ready means in the vain
endeavor to recover his health, and had
about given up completely discouraged. He
had stopped taking treatment being fully
convinced in his own mind that there was
no help for him, and that he would have to
spend the balance of his days as an invalid,
a burden to family and friends Some one
who had heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills,

The minister's Salary.

People think Of the minister's salary
as though it were the greatest of obsta
cles hich they are called on to encOun-
ter the whole year, where it should be
one of the greatest pleasures TO the in
dividual members and to everybody to
contribute to the maintenance of such
a grand and noble cause. There are
not many men or Women-1 don't care
how degraded they have become-who
wish their respective families to live in
a community where no church or school
house exists; for the two are ever hand
IN hand. Religion and knowledge are
the chief factors which constitute civil
ization. Ladies overWork on fancy arti
cIes, often sell them to people who
don't care for them; they only make
the purchase because they wish to help
the church. People would as soon give
the money outright. So other schemes
are put forward to obtain money for
this purpose. Some are so OutlandiSh
it would be waste of time to mention
them. If YOU have a dollar to give, or
twenty, give it, and boldly say if you
have the right spirit Of a christian you'll
do it without flinching. If ladies would
ungrdle their pride so as to stoop the
least mite and extend their hand to
some poor creature, who through this
tangled life has faltered, failed and
fallen, they would do more good than
as if they made hundred doiles, en-
broidered in the many tints of the finest
silks, for the cause Of the church.
They thus lose sight of the great
cause" of the church, which is to save
souls for our Fathers sake who is in
heaven. Not a convert for the Metho-
dist church or any other church but
convert for heaven.
If the same money that buys the ma
terial for the fancy work-say nothing
about the time and strain on the few
ladies that 60 the work. for it is ALWAYS
left to the "wiiling few"-was taken and
given to the minister directly, thus say
ing heap of trouble, it would accom-
plish more good and be much more
satisfactory. Appoint committee Of
upright :. men - not simply pro-
fessors of religion-to have the money
ready for the minister every month.
One cannot help admiring the Catholic
religion for the reason they never keep
their priest in beggarly condition.
Your minister will give you better SER
mons if he is not hampered with the
thoughts of where to get the money for
the next bushel Of coal or sack of pota-
toes. A minister is, or ought to be
conscientious person. Now, if that
same minister is owing at the various
business places of the town and can't
keep his word about the payment of
the various debts, he feels it sorely, and
when he sits in his study writing his
sermon for the coming Sunday the man
can't write what he pleases, for he
soliloqulzes to himself thus: eff Mr.. So
and So is there he'll say. that minister
don't practice what he breaches" His
sermon is often twisted and distorted
and he feels that he has not given his
own honest convictions
Pay the minister monthly and you
will obtain better results and keep ever
uppermost in your mind that the great
cause of the church is saving souls for
heaven. BELLE BATEMAN.

Condition of Trade.

Nearly all will be astonished TO learn
that actual sales IN April by leading
houes in each line Of business in the
principal cities east of the Rocky Noun
tains averages only about 10 per cent.
less than IN April, 1892, the year of
largest business hitherto, and were 81
per cent. more than in the same month
last year. Yet this is the summary of
357 reports, each covering actual sales
of leading merchants in a line of bust
ness in one of fourteen cities, which are
given by cities and by different branches
of trade. They are especially encour-
aging in view of the great fall Of prices
within the five years, and the eXcep-
tlonal floods and other retarding infu-
ences this year. While speculative
business in nearly all lines is small, and
does not swell clearing house returns as
in previous years, the volume of legiti-
mate trade shows no corresponding de-
crease, and the fact is one Of the high
est Importance in all business calcula-
tons. Moreover, returns of failures
for April by branches Of business, given
only by The Merchantile Agency, show
decrease in number, amount and aver
age Of liabilities in almost every branch
Of trade, and in nearly all branches of
manufacture except cotton, although
failures of five New Bedford mills for
81, 800, 734 make the total defaulted liza
bilities for the month 40per cent. larger
than in 1895, and 81 per cent. larger than
1894 The value of reports tracing fail
uaes to particular lines of business is
impressively illustrated.

Weather Conditions.

Under the favorable weather condi-
tons which prevailed generally through
out the state during the past week farm
work has been pushed with great ener-
gv. The season up to the beginning of
the week was very backward, being
both too cold and too wet, but on Mon
day night fair weather set in and favor
able conditions. continued throughout
the week. Rapid advancement has
been made in farm work and the seed
ing this week has been done with the
soil in better condition than heretofore.
The temperature has been seasonable
throughout the state, except along the
eastern border, where the prevailing
easterly winds, coming off the lake,
rendered it too cool for vegetation to
make much progress.
The rainfall has been very light, so
that there was practically no Interior
ence with farm work from that cause.
Rain is needed in some Of the northern
counties, the total amount during the
month of April in that section of the
state being less than one inch. Else
where there is still an abundance of
moisture in the soil and rain is not
needed at present.
Preparation for corn is we'll in hand
and few pieces have already been
planted. With favorable weather
planting will begin in earnest in the
southern counties next week. Early
sown oats, spring wheat and rye are
coming up nicely, although there are
still some complaints of seed rottjng in
the ground. This complaint is however
by no means general. The tone of the
reports in regard to the condition OF
winter wheat and rye remains un-
changed. In few localities wheat does
not appear to have been seriously in
jured but generally it is very poor. Rye
is much better than wheat, although
hardly more than d fair crop. Fruit
trees are beginning to bloom and give
promise of good crop. Grass is max
ing good progress and stock has been
! turned on.
