MINNEAPoLIs MARKET.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 2S.-Choice butter is
firm. Prices throughout the list are without
change. Retailers are taking the bulk of
strictly extra creameries soon after arrival
at 14@141bc. There are heavy supplies of
fine firsts on the market which are not prop
erly salted, otherwise would grade extras,
which are meeting with a good call at 800

keep prices down at a low figure. Extra
dairies are strong at quotations, and handlers
are disposing of large quantities at quotations
Firsts are in free supply and cleaning up
moderately WELL The principal outlet for
seconds is the packing stock barrel. Ladies'
are firm on fine grades. Fresh grass pack
ing stock is strong at quotations.
In spite of the fact that eggs are in heavy
supply, the market is firm at TIC. Cold
storage people are taking large quantities,
cases returned, at 7A@71zc. Retailers are also
good buyers.
Live poultry ranges from steady to firm.
Chickens are moving at 715@Sc. Broilers and

Tho kansas Hen.

We have read of Maud on summer
day. who roked, barefooted, the new
mown hay; We have read of the maid
in the early morn, who milked the COW
with the crumpled horn; and we've
read the lays that the poets sing, OF
the rustling corn and the flowers OF
spring; but Of all the lays Of tongue
or pen, there's naught like the lay OF
the Kansas hen. Long, long before
Maud rakes her hay, the Kansas hen
has begun to lay, and ere the milk
maid stirs peg, the hen is up and has
dropped her egg; the corn must rustic
and flowers spring II they hold their
own with the barnyard ring, If Maud
is needing hat and gown, she doesn't
hustle her hay to town, but goes to the
score and obtains her suit with bas-
ketful of her fresh hen fruit: If the
milkmaid's beau makes Sunday call,
she doesn't feed him ON milk at all,
but works up eggs in custard pie,
and stuffs him full Of chicken fry;
NAN WACA lhO OAu man wants o. AOA IL
1oes he take the druggist a load Of
corn? Not much! He simply robs a
nest, and to town he goes-you know
he rest. He hangs around with the
cliQues and rings, and talks Of politics
and things, while his poor wife stays
at home and scowls, but is saved from
want by those selfsame fowls: for.
while her husband fingers there, she
watches the cackllng hens with care,
and gathers eggs, and the eggs she'll
hide till she saves enough to stem the
tide. Then hail, all hail, to the Kansas
aen, the greatest blessing of all to
men! Throw up your hats and emit a
howl for the persevering barnyard
fowl! Corn may be king, but it's plain
ly seen the Kansas hen is the Kansas
queen. Topeka Mail and Breeze.

Proper Food for Horns..

We talk about the loss in the horse
business from one cause or another,
but the most mischief comes from the
want Of proper food, says an exchange.
This means less to the horse and great
er loss to the farmer. A good per cent
Of the horses seen on the streets of any
town show insufficient or unbalanced
food supply. Horses that have been ILL
fed when young are almost invariably
small, lOng-legged, light-carcassed and
narrow-chestei. Some Of them have
a great deal Of energy, but all are soon
exhausted, unfit for protracted exer-
tion. Grown-up horses, when much re-
duced by deficient nourishment, require
more food to put them into working or
der than would have kept them for
two or three months in the condition
they require to possess when going in
to work. When horse is starved, be-
sides losing strength and flesh, his
bowels get full of worms and his skin
covered with lice. Very often he takes
mango, and sometimes he does not
moult, or the hair falls suddenly and
entirely off, leaving the skin nearly
bald for long time. The skin of an
ill-fed horse'is always rigid, sticking
to the ribs, and the hair dull, staring,
soft, deadlike. If not famished to
death they recover strength and ami
nation with good and sufficient feed
ing. but starvation always spoils the
shape Of growing horse.

The inclsion healed rapidly, and at
the time Of the autopsies there was
no evidence of local LESSONS or any
effect which might have been due die
rectly to the mechanical part Of the
inoculatlons.
A number Of other guinea pigs have
been inoculated with different samples
Of oleomargarine, but at this writing
Cafter eight months) have not con-
tracted disease from the oleomargarine
inoculation. Two of the samples
which caused disease in the auimals
were made at a factory where the ma
terial used may have been question
able in character.
Our incubation experiments show
conclusively that disease may be COM
municated by means of oleomargarine.
The objection might be raised that dis
ease could also be communicated in
the same way by butter. It is, how
ever, a very simple and easy matter to
pasteurize the cream before churning.
The temperature Of pasteurlzation Is
unfavorable for oleo-oil manufacture.
The statements OF most authorities
lave been to the effect that oleomar-
garine is good and digestible and
healthful, provided it is made from
pure material and the process is prop
erly conducted. The. legitimate and
safe manufacture of oelomargarlne can
be secured, therefore, only when there
is careful and safe control and inspec-
ton at the abattoirs and oleomargar-
ine factories Of both the finished pro-
duct and the constituents which enter
into Its manufacture. Then, too, all
the oleomargarine should be sold as
oleomargarine, and should have some
thing distinctive about its appearance
absence Of color, as Massachusetts,
demands, or a specially bright color;
and every pound of it should be care
fully inspected at the factories before
being shipped, to see that the par
hcular distinctive character Is pres
ent.

Standard varIetIes Of Chlekena.

The Partridge Cochin is a beautiful
yet difficult fowl to breed, and in plum
age Is much after the pattern Of the
Dark Brahma, the color being red and
brown, instead of the steel-gray effect
Of the latter. The head of male in col
or is bright red hackle, bright red or
orange red, with a distinct black stripe
down the center Of each feather; saddle
feathers same as hackle; breast and
body rich deep black; wing bows, red;
primaries, black on inside web, with
a bay edglng on the outside web; sec
ondaries, black en- the inside web and
rich bay on the outside web, termina-
ting with greenish-black at the end OF
each feather; wing coverts, greenish-
black, forming a well-defned bar Of
that color across the wing when folded;
tail, black; sickles, coverts and lesser
coverts glossy greenish-black; the lat
ter may be edged with red; Thighs,
black; shanks, yellow and well covered
with black or brownish feathers, the
middle toes being also well feathered.
The female is the prettier OF the two.
Her head Is small and Of rich brown
plumage, with a stout, well-Curved
beak, yellow in color Her eyes are
bay and mild in expression. The head
is ornamented with a small single
comb set perfectly straight upon the
head and bright red in color. The
wattles are small, well-rounded and
fine in texture; the earlobes are well
developed and are also fine in texture.
The neck is neatly curved, with abun-
dant hackle flowing well over the
shoulders. The plumage is bright red
or orange red, with broad black stripe
down the middle Of each feather. The
black stripe in a good feather should
run to a point near the end Of the
feather. This stripe should be free
from penciling, but the standard per-
mits a slight penciling Of the black. A
good back and cushion helps make the
bird. Her back should be broad and
fiat, the broader the better, and the
cushion should rise with a gentle con-
vex curve and partially cover the tail.

Colonel Ligget and Professor Hacker
unite in saying that Minnesota butter
interests are handicapped because our
butter makers lack training and expert
ence. They say that a butter maker
ought to have two years training in a
factory before they enter the agrlcul-
tural college, and then ought to act as
assistant in a creamery for another
year before taking full charge. There
certainly is little inducement for a
young man to spend two years in study
at his own expense, for a business
which pays scarcely better than any
trade in which even apprentices receive
wages. But we believe that trained but
ter makers will command an increase
of salary sufficient to compensate them
for their expense in preparation. II
they can not, then the training is
waste of time and Northwest

American Ostrich Farm. The Amer
iCan ostrich farm at South Pasadena,
Cal, was established in 1884, forty-two
ostriches Deing imported in a sailing
vessel from South Africa, and requiring
three months for the voyage. Since
then over 300 birds have been raised,
and the flock is increasing at the rate
Of about 100 chicks yearly. The aver
age life of an ostrich is about 70 years,
the food fed in California consisting
mostly Of alfalfa and sugar beets. The
eggs weigh about three pounds each;
the infertile ones are blown, and OBJ
tain a ready sale as souvenirs. The
feathers are plucked every nine months
and are graded into their various
lengths and colors, varying In price
after processing according to the style
in vogue from $5 to s10O per pound,
the latter for the long white plumes
taken from the wings. Only those ON
the wings and tail are plucked. The
body feathers are shed once a year, and
are gathered in the eorrals. Every
feather has selling prlce.-Ex.

Rtce for BOWLS.

Rice is said by those who have tried
it, to be the very best Of food for fowls,
and that it possesses more fattening
qualities than corn. In the Carolinas
and the rice growing regions Of the
south, rice meal or broken rice can be
purchased from one-fourth to one-half
cent per pound, and is largely used as
a feed in those sections. Poultry men
within easy reach of the southern OF
gulf seaboard can thus get a cheap
poultry food at small cost for freight.
Rice will never produce diarrhoea in
fowls or animals like some grains, but
will check it when produced by other
causes. With broken rice, Kafir corn
and wheat, we not only have a good
ration for chicks, but an ideal food for
hroilers.-Southern Fancier.

In conclusion analyses are given Of
a number of samples of oelomargarine
and Of butter. The melting point of
the oleomargarine was about 10 de-
grees @. lower than that of butter and
several Of the samples contained con-
siderable c0tton-seed oil. The pres
ence Of an abnormally large amount of
albuminolds in a number Of samples
of the oTeomargarlne points to con-
tamination with animal fiber and in
dicates that the material used was not

Feet of the Sheep.-Keep an eye on
the sleeps feet. They should be
trimmed regularly and kept in good
condition. This is done by pairing on
the surplus growth Of the horn, which
viii otherwise turn under the feet,
gathering filth, which rots the sole and
causes lameness. BY neglect, this is
quite possible to turn into the con-
tagious foot rot by inoeulatlon by the
viras-which may come we know not
whence, but It is Ia the air-and then
cause serious trouble.-Ex.

Coleman on the Cut,
Mr.. r, Lindsay Coleman, ex-president of
be National Cycle Board Of Trade, AMI
resident Of the Western Wheel Works, in
beaking on the cut in bicycles, says:
This cut in the price of 500 wheels has
,casioned no surprise. We expressed the
pinion flve years ago that other makers
Fould fully realize their error in endeav-
ring 10 maintain q fictitious value on

feet long, three feet wide and twenty
five inches deep will hold 27.S bushels
of ear corn or 50.2 bushels Of shelled
corn. A crib ten feet wide, ten feet
high and sixteen feet long will hold III
bushels Of ear corn. OF ear corn one
bushel is contained in two and a quar-
ter cubic feet. In figuring shelled corn

MADE a number OF 1nocuIaIlon eA-
perlments upon guinea pigs with
different samples OF oleomar-
garine. The samples were purchased
in open market near the places where
they were manufactured. Sample NO. 3
proved fatal, causing the death OF the
animal in the one instance in two
months: in the other, in two weeks.
An examination showed the lungs con-
gested, the liver soft and pale, one OF
the kidneys badly congested, and . dis
tinct ulcers in the intestines, like ty-
phOid-fever ulcers. The bladder was
dlstended and the urine albuminous.
At the present writing the nature OF
this disease has not been determined,
but the fatal effects were produced by
the oleomargarine. Another guinea
pig inoculated with a sample Of oleo
oil, taken from a lot used in the man
ufacture Of oleomargarine, died within
three weeks, the autopsy showing bad
ly congested lungs, liver dark. blood
vessels congested, and the small intss-
tines containing bloody mucus.
Five months after incubation with
another sample Of oleomargarine, the
pig which had been used for the expert
ment was chIoroformed for examina-
ton. The animal was in fair condi-
ton, but the left lung showed incipient
tuberculosis, and this disease was also
apparent in the spleen, and there were
several calcareous tubercular nodules
Rdherent to the sternum. A prepara-
ton made from this same sample had
shown the presence Of germ which
could scarcely be anything but the tu-
berculosls bacillus. The result Of the
incubation confirmed this diagnosis.
The inoculations of all the animals
were made by introducing in the side
bit of fat the size Of small pea.
