Current Comment.

CoRN.-Trade is slow hut the market is
steady with prices quoted about one cent
higher for all grades.
EGGs-Receipts have been moderate for
the week and late arrivals have shown some
improvement in quality, but most lots are
still making heavy shrinkage. There has
been good fair demand for fresh stock.
HAY.-The demand for hay is small but
the market holds steady for the choicer
grades which will bring full quotations.
Supplies OF the lower and medium grades
are large, and under dull demand the
tone is weak on all but the best grades.
CHKEsR.-Receipts for export 1870 boxes.
Arrivals continue moderate and there has
been a steady demand for fine cheese since
our last report with firmer tendency in
prices. But most of the weeks arrivals
have been more or less affected by heat.
BuTTER.-There has been little change in
the condition Of the market since our last
report. Receipts are still falling off but de-
mand is also lighter. Strictly extra fresh
as rule but all grades except the best are
in heavy supply and have to be worked off
at easy prices. The market is overstocked
with 10 to l5c goods.
FLoUR.-The market holds about steady
as far as prices are concerned, but the vol
ume OF business is slow and buyers are not
purchasing ahead OF meeting actual needs.
The boom in prices took them by surprise.
and as rule they got but little before the
mark up. II wheat holds, they realize that
they will be forced to pay the advance, but
they are not disposed to do 80 as long as
can be helped.
LUMBER--The market is naturally quiet
at just this time. Midsummer is always
rather slow in the lumber trade. The arr-
val of cargoes have been only of late, and
now that the duty on lumber is in effect
these will be lighter, particularly from the
British provinces. The market value of
stock can hardly be said to be any better
than last reported, although in many quar-
ters higher prices are looked for.
WooL.-Sales for the week, 1920, 900 lbs.
The first week under the new tariff has
been an active one, or, to speak more ex-
actly, has been one Of large sales. These
sales are not very evenly distributed, but
there is scarcely house that has not done
something, and several have sold wool in
large blocks. The attendance OF manufac-
turers has been very fair and the large
sales are wholly to them. Speculation
among dealers has ceased and the realiza-
ton OF profits is now in order 1t is thor
oughly well believed that the end is not
yet, as it evinced by the holding Of thou
sands of bales OF Australian in bond, wait
ing for the rise in price to make it profit
able to pay the duty.

Purchasing Dairy Cows,

Perhaps there is nothing in which
one is 30 liable to be deceived as in the
purchasing of dairy COWS, unless he is
an expert at the business, and even
then failure to get good one occurs
quite as often as success. The novice
depends entirely upon the "good looks"
of a COW, as he calls it, and the word of
the seller. If this is all the equipment
an intending purchaser possesses, his
chance in getting an excellent cow is
about one in ten times trying. Dairy
men never want to sell their best cows,
nor does farmer who owns but few.
A COW may have long pedigree and
still be worthless in the dairy. A few
years ago.a neighbor purchased such
COW. Her pedigree was all right, she
was a" good LOCKER" and the seller said
she was "good mixer" The COW
dropped calf in March, commenced
to dry off in August, and went totally dry
by the middle of September. Come to
learn the history of the COW from neigh
bors of the seller, it was found that this
was her habit, contracted by sucking
her first calf, which ran in the field
with her, and when it was sold the last
of August the COW was nearly dry.
This habit once formed can never be
remedied. The owner justified himself
by saying she was just what he recon-
mended her to be-a "good mixer"
without any other qualification. George
Vanderbilt, at his North Carolina farm,
advertises the excess of his usual $50
Jerseys for sale. Should a person
think he could purchase any of the best
of these, he would probably be grandly
mistaken. Good COWS can sometimes
be purchased at farmers vendues when
dispensing sales are made. 1t is quite
the character of the COWS to be offered.
1t often happens, however, that the
best are bid in" Occasionally vii
lager needs to sell his only COW. Her
good and bad points are easily learned.
Good bargains are likely to be secured
thus. The word of those who brt ed
pure. blood cows for sale can be relied
upon mostly, for their reputation is at
stake, and that is more than half their
capital, but their prices are usually
"long." Beware of the dairyman who
has "cow or two to sell because he
has too many" He only means too
many of the kind he would sell you.
Purchase them, then watch and see
how soon he will replenish with better
ones. If person wants COW and is
not judge himself, he would save
money to pay an expert So or $40 to
purchase one for him. A farm laborer
near me wanted COW last spring. He
is a good judge of cows and took day
off to find one. 1t was three-year-
old. She soon dropped her second
calf. 1t is cross of Shorthorn on
Swiss. He paid $25 for her. She was
tested for butter one week in June,
with the result of III pounds, ready for
market. As cows are selling here, she
is worth more than $50. A man who is
not Judge of cows is foolish to pur-
chase on his own knowledge, or rather,
lack of IMPRACTICAL Farmer.

this up by writing several love letters
to the girl These were shown to W. M.
Myers, friend Of the young lady, and
last night he called upon the preacher
and informed him that if he did not cease

Jailed for Contempt.

Colfax, WASH, Sept. ll.-Albert Hoepp-
ner of the Farmers drug store was ar
rested for selling liquor without a Ii
cense. He was taken before Justice of

GRAIN GRADES HAVE BEEN FIXED.
State Commission Establishes the
Weights and Standards.

Tacoma, Sept. IL. - The grain stand
ards have been established for the ensu
ING wear. ard the state commission is
now engaged in the preparation of sam
plies. Inspector Wright and Commission
ers Reed and Stewart determined upon
the various grades, qualities and weights
of the different grains, and the results OF
their conference are here announced:
Choice bluestem and club wheat. Coz
pounds to the bushel.
No. | club and bluestem, 50 pounds.
No club and bluestem, Sc pounds.
No 3 club and bluestem, "a pounds.
The No. | grades show an increase in
the standard over last year, when they
graded at So Nos. 2 and grades remain
the same as in 1896 on both varieties.
The introduction of choice standard
is an innovation. Inspector Wright
states that the commission considered ii
only Just to establish this grade on ac-
count of the superior quality of much
of the wheat grown in this state which
is entitled to be placed on an equality
with the grain of California, where fol
a number of years it has been customary
to have standard samples of the very best
qualities of wheat produced.

ARE HOT AFTER THE RAILROADS.
Startling Innovation Looked For
From State Board.

Olympia, WASH, Sept ll.-Some start
ling revelations and some hard kicking
may be looked for when the state board
of equalization gets thoroughly down to
business. The board is after the rail
roads with a hot stick What may make
the matter worse for the railroads is the
fact that they can not intercede with the
courts for assistance in their hour of
need.
Last year the supreme court decided
that the board of equalization was in it
self a court of last resort-from them
there was no appeal in the matter OF
equalization of values. Here is where
the roads will catch it.
The board is composed of w. ID. Jen
kins, secretary of state: Robert Bridges
land commissioner, and Neal Cheetham
state auditor. Secretary Jenkins and
Commissioner Bridges are single takers
and Auditor Cheetham is believed to be
in sympathy.
These three, or at least two of them
have set views on the railroad question
from a single tax standpoint. 1t is sale
that when the question of equalizing the
values of the different roads comes be
fore them they may insist that the val'1
alton be placed at S35 600 per mile.
