The elaim made in mitigation Of the
oifenses Of certain trusts that they tend
to cheaper the prices Of the products
that they handle does not apply to the
beef trust, at any rate. and It Is ono Of
the worst In the country, says St
Louis Globe-Democrat. It does not
help anybody in any way except the
capitalists Of whom It Is composed.
The methods by which It operates are
directly opposed to the interests Of both
producers and consumers. It fixes the
prices at which live steers sell, push
ing them down to actual cost or less.
and dictates the prices at which dressed
beef sells, forcing them up to the high
est notch. The law of supply and de-
mand does not cut any figure In its
proceedings. Its prices are adjusted
without the least regard to the num-
Der of cattle raised or the prevailing
rate Of consumption. The cattle raiser
is obliged to take what it prescribes, be-
cause it also controls the sales to re-
tail dealers. and is able to shut out
competition. In many cases, dealers
have been forbidden to handle any
other beef than that furnished by the
trust, under penalty of having new
stores started to run them out of bust
ness. It is hard to believe that an Or
ganization which thus perpetrates .
wrong on the producer, the retailer
and the consumer cannot be reached
with the antitrust law. Several ate
tempts have been made to secure action
against it in the federal courts. but they
have all failed. Somehow it Is always
impossible to obtain the necessary wit
nesses. or. II the witnesses are found.
the ingenious lawyers Of the trust make
their testimony useless by pointing OUT
some alleged defect in the law or in the
court records. The processes by which
the mischievous work Of the trust is ac-
complished are largely of a secret ma
ture. to be sure. and hence difficult to
trace and expose; but there is reason to
believe. nevertheless. that the task can
be performed II men of proper ability
and integrity shall undertake it. As
the matter now stands, the trust prac-
tcally has things all its own way. It
makes the price on the cattle, hogs and
sheep Of all the farmers, and the price
OF meats at all points where its re-
frfgerator cars are unloaded. This ia
a situation which urgently calls for a
remedy of some kind. II the present
antitrust law is not equal to the emer-
gency, then a new one should be passed
that will be effective. The matter is
one that concerns all classes of people
in a positive and serious way. and 1t
will not do to say that such an evil is
one that the government is powerless
to deal with.

to see that the danger is small. A tu-
berculous animal is. il affected in the
lungs, constantly throwing of con-
sumptive spores. These at first are
moist and do not blow about. but in
time they get dry and become a part
Of the dust, rising often from the barn
floor and seeking the lungs of the ami
mails and of the workers about the
barns. The same is true Of the pastures
where the cows summer. The germs
become dry and are blown about by
every breeze. They can not only get
into the lungs of the animals, but of
workers in the fields. and even Of the
people passing along the roads. In a
thousand ways people are exposed. The
milk is dangerous medium Of infec-
ton where the udder is affected by tu-
berculosis. 1t was formerly supposed
that consumption showed itself only in
the lungs, but 1t is now known that it
takes possession of other organs of
the body, and sometimes even establish
es itself in the joints. Therefore 1t is
not apparent always that a person has
become infected, even when they are
far gone with the disease. The healthy
people may be able to throw of these

Poultry frozen during the winter as a

One Method of Feeding Fowls.

One MethOO OF Feeding Fowls.
Before a farmers institute in New
Jersey. F. E. Dawley gave his method
of feeding. Each night a lot of this
hay is cut in half-inch lengths and put
in barrel. Hot. boiling water is then
poured over it, and tight-fitting cover
placed over the barrel. It is then al.
lowed to steep until morning. The
next morning it is stirred up with
mixed feed until 1t becomes crumbly.
This mixed feed" he said, is com.
posed Of 100 parts coarse wheat bran
Che advised all to use no bran unless 1t
was coarse), Is parts corn meal (yel-
low, 100 parts ground oats, so to Is
parts linseed meal, and 10 parts char
coal, and salt it lightly. OF this mash
he gives as much as the fowls will eat
up clean. He said he had been usina
that feed for ten years. and after try
ing many other methods, he found that
it could not be equalled, much less ex.
celled. AS an evening feed he fed
whole wheat, and a little corn during
winter) If the weather was mild; II
cold, he used some corn and less wheat,
He said that the corn was fed only to
furnish heat to the body. He eau.
toned those who were using It for any
other purpose to beware. The grain Is
thrown among a lot Of litter, so that
the fowls will have to scratch for every
bit they get. In the fall and early part
Of the winter, he gives the evening
feed at about o'clock, so that the
fowls will have ample time to scratch.
AS the days grow shorter he gives this
feed as early as o'clock. The break.
fast Tor morning feed is given as soon
as it is sufficiently light for the fowls
to see and eat it.

Advantages in Dairying.

A dairy expert says: A man can
concentrate more skill and labor in a
ton of butter. which at twenty-five
cents a pound is worth $500, than he
can load into an equal weight Of hay.
Besides he need not load into $500
worth of butter one-tenth as much of
real hard manual labor as into the
hay required to fetch as much money.
It will leave and compel more time to
think; and thought always sells dear

gone before us, we will find Canada

can be reared. The more of these prod
