why the warehouse Bill should Pass.

For a number of years the tendency III
prices of grain has been downward and the
intermediate charges on grain between the
producer and the consumer in the way OF
commissions have become of more and more
Importance to the producer. The reduction
Of such charges to a minimum has become an
absolute necessity. The reduction has come
about naturally through active competition
by dealers in a half dozen cities which are
reaching out for the grain business of the
west. The public warehouses have been a
most important factor in furnishing to the
farmers of Illinois broad and active mar
ket. This has been done without interior
ing with the business OF the country grain
merchants. \ system has been developed
which has proved entirely satisfactory to
the country at large, but apparently is not
satisfactory to little coterie of dealers on
the Chicago Board of Trade. This coterie
has attacked the proprictors of public ele-
vators on every possible ground and has de-
MED them the right in common with other
grain merchants to buy and sell grain. The
public warehousemen for years have dealt
in grain and the competition stimulated by
their position in the trade has been most
beneficial to the interests of the farmer.
While the custom of warehousemen deal
ing in grain has been established by -cus-
tom the Illinois statutes are silent rs to their
rights and powers. The biz now in the leg.
isllture clearly defines their rights and

to their acting IN the capacity of grain mer
chants and war2housemen at the same time.
The proposed legislation is in the interests
Of the producers of grain throughout the
state and should be enacted. Tie opposi-
ton comes from the Chicago Board of Trade
PEOPLE who have been persistently fighting
The elevator interests for years. They have
raised the cry of monopoly and arc attempt
ing TO discrcdit the warehouse bills. They
have made the most reckless assertions as
to the prospective results under the pro-
posed law, while the fact is that the law does
not contemplate any new order of things,
hut simply continuation of the system
which is familiar to the state at large. The
people leading the attack on the bill are
singularly inconsistent. Their objection to
q warehouscman dealing in grain is that he
is placed in a position to discriminate be-
tween himself and other owners of grain
stored in his warehouse TO the prejudice
of the other owners. This objection is fully
met by the section which provides for SUI
pervision Of the warehouse business by the
state. The Chicago Board of Trade less
than two years ago made demand on the
warehousemen for just such supervision as
is now contemplated, but which could not
be granted without change in the state
laws.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

From IS to 40 ducks and brakes are
| allowed in pen.
The shell of an egg contains about Is
grains of salt of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed in
barrel for shipment.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs in
about seven months laying.
Build the house ten by ten feet for
ten fowls, and the yard ten tines larger
Ducklings are marketed at five pounds
weight, which they attain in ten weeks.
Thirteen eggs are considered setting,
though many breeders are now giving
Is.
Ten dozen eggs year is the average
estimate given as the production of the
hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as an
average for the annual output of the
turkey.
Duck feathers sell at 40 cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double
the amount.
Between 40 and so degrees is the prop
er temperature to keep eggs for hatch
ing during winter.
Eggs intended for Matching should not
be kept over four weeks. The, must
be turned over every day or two.
1t will require seven pounds of
skinned milk to equal one pound of
lean beef for fiesh-forming qualities.
One dollar per head is the average
cost of keeping fowl year, and the
same amount is fair estimate of the
profits.-Poultry Monthly.

FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Farmers who Find Their Fields Have
Disappeared Over Night.

OF course you've heard of the Gu
rious freaks of the Missouri rivcr-the
"Big Muddy" how the sudden, treach-
mighty floods from Montana and Wy
oming. ricochet from side to side of the
broad valley they have eaten deep into
the soft prairies and pour headlong into
the Mississippi near st. Louis; how,
night and day, winter and summer, the
twisting torrent shifts its channel.
cuts its banks, rndermines railroads,
astonshes the muskrats, keeps the fish
studying guide-posts, worries the
bridge guards, and sets the farmers
crazy. For, just think of it; the Ne
braska farmer whose land stretches
along the river goes to bed thinking he
will cut his broad acres of golden
wheat in the morning; but 10, in the
night, that madcap river has entered
his waving fields, and like snow they
have melted away. Grain, fences, trees,
buildings, land-are gone! And
great, sulleu. yellow flood boils and ed
dies where his harvest smiled yester-
day.
Next week, very likely, the reckless
stream will make his neighbor across
the river present of 100 or more acres.
just because he doesn't need them. OF
course it was natural for man who
lost his land that way to look longingly
across the river, and think, after awhile,
that The newly-made land over there be-
longed 10 him; and many wearisome
lawsuit has been begun TO recover title
10 made" land which lies, maybe, eX-
actly where the lost farm lay, but on the
other side of the river. Perhaps there
is some equity in such claim; but the
trouble is. that sort of thing is going on
all the time, and the courts said they
couldn't keep track of such FRANKS;
that land acquired by accretion-mark
that word-should belong to the farmer
who owned the river bank where they
were thrown up; that if the river took
your farm, you would have to fish it
out of the stream you lost it in; at
least you needn't ask the courts to give
you another for it.--Frank III. Spear

How 40 Move Lnrae noru.

Make cage or box large enough
to hold the hog, but without bottom.
To get the hog in, throw down an ear
of corn, and while she is eating it let
two men lift the cage and put it over
her. One can do it by tipping it just
right. Have loose bottom Ian old door
will do very welD little wider and
longer than the cage; place this from
the ground to the wagon or sleigh. Car
~ or drag the cage along the ground
and up the slanting floor, and the hog
will walk right on the sleigh or wagon
herself, and there will be no lifting
excepting the cage. Throw the bottom
on top of cage, put chain over and
fasten to wagon. When unloading, just
reverse the operation.-Rural World.

PIG PEN POINTERS.

With good clover pasture hogs can
be, made to fatten very rapidly and ut
low cost.
AS soon as the pigs are two weeks old
begin to feed them in side trough.
This will push them along nicely and
save the sow.
There is encouragement in the gen
eral acquiescence in the policy of Civ
ing swine range-plenty of grass and
clover, and less of the everlasting corn
diet. We no longer aim at masses of
living lard.
Boar pigs that are doing service need
careful attention and good feeding. DO
not feed any great quantity of corn; try
few peas, ground oats and a handful
of oil meal. and exercise them as much
as possible.
In a majority of cases, however good
may be the clover patch which the farm
er. has for his hogs, it will pay to buy
supply of ship-stuff to feed with it,
This for the sake of variety and for the
good of the pasture.
Plenty of hogs are killed by quack
nostrums when cholera is supposed to
be in the herd. Aconite and concen-
trated lye are fed plentifully and hogs
die. Starvation is better treatment
than rank poisons unfortunately fed.
We can reduce the cost of pork by
reducing the time in which we grow it.
A 20o-pound pig. well marked with lean,
IS demanded. This can be got ready in
six months often. and where butter
dairy Is run a considerable greater
weight can be procured.-Rural World.
