DECISION eAvoHs oAs1oalA
Judge Grosscnr Grants an Injunction,
Against Imitatori of This Valuable


Judge Grosscur Grants an Injunction
Against Imitators of This Valuable
Remedy.
A decision Of genera! interest was deliy
cred lately at Chicago by Judge Peter s.
Grosscup OF the United States Circuit
Court. giving the Centaur Company OF
New York City, manufacturers Of" Cas-,
toria, world renowned remedy, All in,
junction against the members of the Chi.
cago firm of Hurd, Young & Hirschon,
acting rs agents OF the Pitcher Medicine
Company OF Duluth, MINI.
Judge Grosscup, in his decision, finds
that the defendants manufactured, put
up and sold imitation wfdtters, labels and
packages, a preparation known as "Cas.
toria.' The conrt@held that such manu-,
facture and use Of original label was q
gross violation of the Centaur Company's
rights. The judge thereupon issued an
Injunction restraining the defendants from
initiating the original castoria labels TO!
Centaur Company. Messrs. Hamlinc
Scott ana Lord appeared as attorneys fol
the Centdur Company. During the hear.
Ing OF the case an affidavit was read from,
DR.. Samuel Pitcher, the originator Of the
preparation castoria, in which he stated
that the Centaur Company only had the
right to use his formula and his name.
Charles II. Fletcher, president of the
company, has been most active in tracing
the source of spurious goods that were
found on the market and offered for sale
dis the real article. He discovered that the
imitation was first pitt Oh the market b,
the sager Drug C6mpan5 OF Duluth
Mimi, and that Mr.. Hurd and others
handled the preparation in Chicago. The
sale was found SO easy that the agents
proceeded to put up preparation Of thei,
own, thus checkmating their principals
The decision just rendered covers both i'm
itations. The Centaur Company are now

Slow-Ripeninc Cheese.

The anxiety of cheese-makers to have
their cheese come early into market in
!!uces them to make soft porous cheese
into which air easily enters and which
consequently ripens early. says the Amer
lean Cultivator. But cheese thus made
cannot be kept for long time without
having it's quality much deteriorated. If
a larger proportion of cheese was pressed
thoroughly SO as to have tirmer tex
turc, it would keep until times when
there is little good cheese in market, and
higher prices could be obtained for it..
But the firm cheese has so much less
moisture than the porous cheese that the
price does not pay the maker.

Danes Com plain AEout Our Corn.

Very serious complaints are made by
Danish flour and feed merchants about the
condition i'll which recent shipments of
American corn haze been received by
them. says an exchange. The corn has a
large miXtnra of broken kernels. and
worse STILL there are great many small
pieces of cob and dirt mixed with it. This
is lessening the demand for American
corn. which had been extensively built up
by Americans, who showed the people Of
Europe how palatable and nutritious corn
may be made when properly cooked The
consul-general. who makes these facts
known, has been at pains to find whenc.
this Door corn comes from, and we are
glad to say that none of it is shipped from
this port Here the inspection of all corn
and meal before shipping is as vigorous as
ever. The result is that those who have
poor corn to ship send it to other ports.
They are thus hurting not only their OWE
trade, but are also lesscning the demand
for corn. and thus doing great injury t.
the whole country. There ought to be 4
national inspection of corn as there is for
meats, so that this trade may not be de-
stroyed by unscrupulous dealers.

Feeding Soft Food.

The practice of feeding soft food has
become so general that nearly every writ
er refers to it as essential to success. 1t
is doubtful, however, if soft food should
be fed oftener than twice week. The
gizzard is intended to grind the food and
it is not necessary that the food be
ground in advance. Then, again, soft
food compels the fowl to swallow more
water than it requires. Experiments
made show that when soft food is given
every day the bird does not thrive. the
liver becomes large and soft. and disease
puts in an appearance. The birds will
always prefer hard foods because the
natural functions of the gizzard are then
performed. and the other organs keep in
harmony Herewith. When birds seek
the food they do not eat large quantity
ut once, but Il little at a time. but when
soft food is allowed they fill their crops
to the bursting point and frequently the
food is so impacted as to compel opening
of the crop. Soft food twice a week is
often enough by way of Il variety

Breeding Turkeys.

The old rule to kill off all the large early
turkeys for the holiday trade, and save
only for breeders those that are late and
stuntcd tends to constant deterioration
The earliest and largest hen turkeys ought
to be saved for breeders. and they should
have very little corn. These early birds
fed with wheat or rye given whole viii
begin to lay in March. while some OF
the later chicks may not lay until May
Or possibly June. Consequently each year
the flock grows later and later. until the
majority are too small for market and
good for nothing else. 1t is always best
to mate the yearlng hen with IL gobblel
not less than 2 years old. I he gobble1
will continue to grow until three years
old, and is better for service until he is
four years from the shell. Such a male
will mate with 10 or possibly II hen tur-
keys, and produce much stronger chicks
than will a gobbler of last years growth
We are always suspicious of the very larg-
est weights in turkeys, though where the
feet are attached it is easy to decide
whether the bird is one Of the present
years growth or older than this.-Ameri-
