Aaxlcn 10 Feeders.

Denver Field and Farm says: Amen.
the high prices now being paid for
stockers and feeders, there is danger
ahead in the steer business. Too many
fellows are putting money in feeders.
Feeders are too high-little old runt
Texas long horns sell for three. four
and five and sometimes as high as six
cents. They will not fill out. The
men who have theirs on their hands
are going to try to dump them on the
market next fall, and there Is going
TO be a tumble. Do not get too many
feeders on hand. Stock up your COW
herds; they will keep year after year.
and you can get something out Of
them. 1t will pay better at the pres
ent prices to raise calves to sell rather
than to buy them to feed. Cattle are
going to slump. Too many men have
paid too much for their feeders and
they are going to dump them at any
price next fall. The market will be
overlooking. The buyers will have
their own way. Mr.. Cattleman will
get his fingers burned. There will be
an auction sale, and the devil to pay
at ten per cent, with big cattle mort.

AS the charter of the Bank of France
expires at the end of the year the bill
for its renewal is expected to come
before the French chamber almost any
day, and the Paris correspondent of the
Economist points out the remarkable
changes that have taken place in the
bill since it was first introduced in
1892. Originally the charter was to
be renewed for twenty-three years;
now it can be terminated by the gov
eminent at the end Of fifteen years.
The former bill required the bank to
pay to the state an annual contribu-
tion Of 100000 francs from the COM
mencement of 1898; the new bill fixes
the contribution at one-eighth Of the
rate Of discount on the average pro-
ductive note circulation, or the amount
of discounts and loans on securities.
In addition to the stipulation that the
existing advances of 140,000,000 francs
ito the treasury shall cease to bear in
terest, the bank is to advance a fur
ther 100000 francs. also without in
terest, and 1t cannot demand repay
ment before the expiration Of Its
charter. The note circulation, which
was originally to be raised to 100000
900, is now to be increased to the enor.
NOUS amount of f200 600, 900, and there
are other less important changes which

A learned Missouri judge has decid-
ed that slot machines are not gambling
devices in the eye of the law, and he
cannot see any more harm in playing
them than there is in taking whirl at
the church grab bag or the elite pro-
gressive euchre Gambling, he holds, is
no crime within itself. If any state
desires to make it crime they must
pass law covering the case. And slot
machines are not mentioned in the Mis-
souri, statutes. Drop in your nickels
and see the wheels roll.

It was long ago the rule in Euro
pean fruit growing that gooseterries
could not be grown in climates suit
able for the ripening of gra PES. says
American Cultivator. The heat re-
quired for the grape crop developed a
mildew, which destroyed the leaves OF
gooseberries and prevented the fruit
from perfecting. Thus England grew
the gooseberry, while France. Italy
and Spain ripened crops OF grapes.
The American difficulty in growing
gooseberries comes from our hot. dry
summers, which are just what are
needed for the vine. We have had va
rious new varieties OF gooseberries
claimed to be mildew proof, but we
have little faith that any will prove
entirely so when conditions favor mil.
dew. This, however, does not matter
so much, since the Bordeaux mixture
which has proved 80 good remedy fol-
mildew on the grape, Is equally good
to protect the gooseberry plant from
the same enemy.
