straw for Fattening stock.

When cattle, horses or sheep are fed
very concentrated and heterogeneous
foods they will often show a decided
liking for grain straw, which if fed on
alone could not be eaten in sufficient
quantities to sustain life. What this
fattening stock seeks in the straw is
first more of the carbonaceous element
of food, and secondly, something that
will distend their stomachs while fur
nishing little nutrition. In this respect
the domestic animals are wiser than
man, who, when he can get it, overloads
his stomach with indigestible food, and
then resorts to drugs instead of to more
bulky food for relief. Exchange.

might adopt them. nor need they be made

would be the material best adapted for the

In the senate to-day Lyons bill amending

justices and constables in townships hav-

clause. Senator Young then caused its re-
cCpsideration and had it laid over in order
that it might be compared with a similar
bill pending before the senate. This bill
is of interest to the people of Kansas City,
as it applies exclusively to Kaw township.
II contains five sections, the first of whicl
requires that the county provide proper

CRACKER COMPANIES AT WAR.
lieve 1t VIII Affect Prices
in Kansas City.

The New York Biscuit Company and the
American Biscuit Company yesterday lock-
ed horns and, unless they come to terms.
there will probably be a sweeping reduc-
ton in the price of crackers and biscuit
throughout the country. The New York
company started the ball rolling with cut
of 35 per cent in prices.
Whether the war will affect this part of
the country is a matter which is arousing
considerable interest. III. w. Loose, of
Loose Bros, stated that it was too early
to say whether prices in Kansas City and
vicinity would be affected or not. 1t would
be necessary to await developments, as the
progress of the war might affect one To-
cality in u manner very different from the
result in another, according to circum-
stances.
1t was stated in another quarter that
there was not much probability at the
present time that prices of crackers and
cakes in Kansas City would show much
of reduction, as the American Biscuit
Company has control of the local market
and unless the New York company put
cure territory now occupied by the Amer
lean, the latter would not have to lower
prices. 1t was stated that the war would
chiefly affect those localities where there Is
great commercial rivalry between the
two corporations The seat of war is from
Chicago east, with the storm center in the
city by the lakes.
The two corporations are pretty evenly
matched. The New York Biscuit Company,
with Headquarters in Chicago, has cap
ftal of IS, 200. and about a score of es-
products are manufactured. The Ameri-
can Biscuit Company has an authorized
capital OF $40, 100000. and it's branches are.
