Elliott Wins the Wing Shot Cham
pionship of America.


 KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 21.-J A. R. Elliot of Kansas City won the wing shot championship of America to-day and in cidentally became the permanent posses sor of the Kansas City Star cup. The championship race between the five cracks who have at different times held the cup, was the feature of the closing day of the Missouri shooting tournament. This race for the permanent possession of the trophy was close and exciting.
 J. E. Reilly of Kansas City was the first of the contestants to miss. His sixth bird fell dead out of bounds, but he fin- ished with total score of "A. Sim Glover of Rochester. N. r., saw his seventeenth bird fall dead out of bounds and his eighteenth was a clean miss. His score of 23 was the lowest of the five. Charles W. Budd of Des Moines, Iowa, lost his twenty-second bird, which fell dead out of bounds, and Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, Iowa, had the same misfortune with his twenty-third bird. Elliott, though he drew perhaps the hardest lot of birds, won the championship with a clean score of 9.
 Miss and out" was the manner of dis posing of the second money. Budd went out on his first bird. Gilbert missed his eighth, and Reilly. by killing his ninth, took the purse.

CAPTAIN WARREN HONORED. His Companions in O'Connor & Moi
 fatt's Did Not Forget Him.

Captain Frank w. Warren. commanding Company H. First Infantry California Volunteers. was taken by surprise yes terday afternoon by the attaches of O'Connor & Moffatt's dry goods store. At o'clock, when the days work was through, the salesmen. ladies and cash boys of the store congregated on the lower floor of the house and invited Captain Warren to come to the front, as this was his last day as one of them, who had been in the company's service for number of years. The captain cheerfully complied, as he understood it was merely to bid him good by. In this he was mistaken, as he no sooner took his place among his late companions than Max Claussinneus addressed him on behalf of his compan- ions, and in a neat speech presented him with a sword as a gift from those with whom he had been associated.
 Captain Warren was very much anected on receiving the gift, and in a few words thanked them for their kind remem- brance of him. He said he would retain the sword and wherever 1t was there he would be.
 During the many years In which he has been connected with the house of OCon- TOT & Moffatt he occupied a very prom inent position in the firm. He had charge of one of the most important branches of the concern. He will join his regiment tomorrow at the Presidio, but can have his position on his return. In the mean time his family will not be neglected.

Crane GraftinV.


An old Clinton vine stood at the cor
ner of the woodhouse which was so Wig
orous that it's branches spread over
everything within reach, but bore no
fruit. In April, 1896, 1 cut both
branches off close to the ground and
grated Delaware grape into one
and an Iona into the other. l used no
wax, simply wrapped carefully with
strings Of cloth, pasted a little mud
over the wound and covered all with
cart except the top buds Of the gratis.
Those CRAFTS made a wonderful growth
the first season, owing to the far-reach-
ms roots of the Clinton vine At close
of the first season the Iona vine was
about eighteen feet long and the Della
ware about twelve. This season, with
the vines one year old, the Delaware
branch bore twenty-four as fine bunch
es of Delaware grapes as l ever saw.
The punches and berries were slightly
larger than the Delaware generally
grows, and so compact on the stems
that they could not be picked off easily
without beginning at the end of the
stem.
The Iona branch bore about forty
punches Of Iona grapes of the finest
quality. This is quick way Of get
ting a grapevine into bearing. l tried
the same experiment on wild grape
vine down in the pasture. 1t grew just
as vigorously, but an inquisitive Jer-
sey cow spoiled the experiment.-Ag-

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions In the Leading Cities
Of the World.


trade Conditions In tho Leading cities
of tho World.
Wheat traders last week struggled
with all kinds of foreign news, bat the
market remained in the same old rut,
only that it became narrower. Com
mission men who have recently travel
ed all through the West and Northwest
say that speculation everywhere is
light. The farmers have paid off their
mortgages with the money received
from their crops, and the $500, 900, 600
extra that Letter helped them to get
by advancing grain values has brought
about readjustment of affairs in the
West.
During the early days of last week
the foreign news was bearing, prices in
Liverpool and on the continent declin-
ing steadily under the pressure of Ar
gentine offerings. Friday there was a
change in sentiment abroad, cables gen.
orally reporting reduced Argentine
offerings and advanced prices. An
estimate has been made that Argentina
will only have $4,000, 600 bushels to
ship to the United Kingdom; 1000, 900
bushels of its surplus will go to Brazil,
and the balance to other countries.
This estimate does not make the sur
plus over $4,000, 900 bushels. The. g
are other good estimates of $4,000, 900
bushels. Should Argentina have 49,
600, 900 to export, it will make a ma
terial difference in prices, provided the
present crop prospects are everywhere
maintained. In case it is only %, 0O0,-
600 bushels there will be less wheat to
come in contact with arrivals from
California and depress the foreign mar
kets. Spectators are looking to the
foreign situation to lead the bull move
ment. They want to see exports con-
tinue heavy, and the foreign buying
good. The latter has not been up to
expectations of late, but there is every
prospect of its continuing good through
out January. One drawback to active
cash transactions at the seaboard is the
steady advance in cash premiums over
May.
Spectators who are very friendly to
the bull side take different view of
the situation. They are inclined to
ignore the foreign conditions as the
real leader, and are looking to the
Northwest. They believe that stocks
in millers' hands in Minnesota and
the Dakotas are the lightest in years.
Farmers deliveries are small and coun-
try elevators tocks are not over 5, 600. 900
bushels. Bulls have predicted falling
off in arrivals there since December 1,
but the reduction has not been fully
realized, the receipts exceeding last
years.

Linseed VS.. Cottonseed Meal.

While fully grown animals with
strong digestive organs can eat cotton
seed meal, properly diluted with straw
or hay, without serious injury, it is
doubtful whether it is adviSa bic to
make this part of their ration. Linseed
meal can be purchased at about the
same price as cottonseed meal, and has
equal nutritive value. The new proc
ess meal is the kind generally used. 1t
is not so fattening as the old process
meal, because more of its oil has been
expressed. Flaxseed whole is very rich
feed, and if boiled so as to swell it out
all that hot water can do, it may be
given to cattle, sheep or horses with
safety. Only very little should be
given at time, as the oil in it makes
it very laxative, and a small amount
daily is better than more. There is
nothing better for an animals hair
than little f1axseed daily. 1t will in
sure the shiny coat, which, in either
COW or horse, is sign Of thrift Amer

Police OF Paris, With tho Greatest DIP
6culty, Preserved Order.

fculty, Preserved Order.
Paris, Jan. 25.-Todday. Paris has
the appearance of being in q state OF
siege, and 1000 police and soldiers
hold the Place de la. Concord.
In anticipation of the prohibited.
anti -Dreyfus demonstration today, un-
der the direction of the organizing COM
mittee appointed by the anti-Dreyfus
meeting at the Tivoll Vauxhall last
Monday night, stringent measures were
taken by the authorities to preserve
order. The Place de la Concord and
the garden Of the Tuilleries were held
by detachments of cavalry and infan-
try and large forces of police.
Nothing happened until 2 O'Clock
this afternoon, the time announced for
the meeting to protest against the pro-
Drefyus agitation in the Sale des
Miles section and in the Mont Parnesse
quarter. The approaches to the hall
were occupied by police and mounted
republican guards, while the precau-
ton was taken Of removing all chairs
from the interior. The police refused
admission to known anarchists, but
many who were less prominent evaded
police vigilance, gained admittance and
created disturbances. NJ. Thiebaud
was elected to the chair, and the noise-
lest disturbers of the proceedings were
expelled from the hall. M. Thiebaud
proposed that wreath should be laid
on the Strasbourg statue, and the pro-
posal was greeted with cries of give
parmie'' and give la Francep'
AS the disturbance continued, NJ.
Thiebaud got motion adopted to close
the meeting. The wreath was then
placed in a carriage, but the police re-
fused to allow the crowd to follow it in
body, and divided it into small
groups. In the meantime, the anar-
chists tried in vain to organize fresh
meeting. The wreath was placed on
the statue at half past O'Clock this
afternoon, amid perfect order.
Later in the evening the police dis
persed large bodies of antiJewish DEM
onstrators in the Rue de la Fayette
and at the Office of the Adrore, but
nothing serious occurred, and there
were few arrests during the day.
It is agreed on all sides that Satur-
days scene in the chamber of deputies
was almost without precedent, except
the recent disturbances in the Austrian
reichsrath. Curiously enough. Count
Badeni, the ex-Austrian premier, wit
messed it. He must have felt quite at
home.
After the chamber was cleared 1876
torn-off neckties were picked up, to-
gether with many coats that had been
torn by deputies from each others
shoulders. M. Clovis Hughes, one of
the deputies for the department OF the
Seine, had door slammed on his fin
gers, which were so mutilated that he
is now in the hands of surgeon.
The scene Of fighting around the tri-
bune was unparalleled.

A writer who has observed methods
in. California, Arizona, Utah, Wyom-
ing, Nebraska and other States has
concluded % that the best method is
the old and well known one Of gravita-
ton, taking the water from streams
and conveying in bitches to the land
where it is to be used. Subirrigation,
where it is practicable, gives good re-
suits. Where water is raised by pump
ing with lift of ten to forty feet q
water wheel or turbine connected with
a centrifugal pump is cheapest and
most satisfactory. Windmills for lift
ing water for the ordinary farmers
garden or small truck farming are de-
sirable, provided wooden tanks are
used or the soil is such that a water
tight reservoir can be built. Centrif-
ugal pumps, water elevators or other
pumps when driven by steam or gaso-
line engines, horsepower or other ex-
pensive methods are impracticable.
He tells in the American Agriculturfst
that he does not regard any method
practicable for general farming except
where water flows direct from streams
In bitches at low cost.

Grain VS.. Pasture.

1t used to be common for farmers
who had fine pastures, especially on
lind that was annually overfowed, to
boast that they could fatten beeves
more cheaply on grass than on grain.
But that time has passed. The pas
ture has not been wholly superseded,
for the farmer who has good pasture
still has the advantage, provided he
supplements pasture with grain. In
spite of the fact that the pasture SUP
plies food without labor, while the corn
crop, if grown and harvested as IL
should be, requires much labor, the
latter is much the cheaper feed. There
is comparatively little beef now grown
which comes from pasture alone. Even
in the blue grass region Of Kentucky
Western grain is largely used to sup
plement the feed of stock which are
still fattened on pasture. There is
probably 10 richer grass in this world
than the Kentucky blue grass, which
is, however, identical with the June
grass in our Northern States. But for
cheap nutrition, and especially for
stock that is being fattened, it is no
match for Indian corn. The grain of
good corn crop has more nutritive value
than the grain of any of the smaller
grains. And there is besides a great
deal of nutritive value in the corn
stalks. This is now appreciated Dy
Western farmers more than it ever has
been before. 1t is the value of corn
stalks as feed that has done as much
as anything else to make corn super
sede pasture as means for fattening
cattle.-American Cultivator.
