for the American farmer is right in our

towns who may be educated to buy finer

1 would rather have had some good fruit
than nything else-so would hundreds OF
others. Yet the only fruit offered for sale
was a bunch of bananas. 1t struck me as
singular thing that, in that beautiful fruit
country, only bananas, carried thousands
of miles from where they were grown,
could be bought. 1t is like the mistake the
farmers wife makes sometimes when she
has company. She will cook up some
great, elaborate dinner when her guests
would much prefer a dish of fruit and a
bowl of cold milk and bread. 1t is all we'll

SHORT LUMBER.
Current Comment.

OATs.-The market has worked higher
during the week, but the general demand
Is moderate.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export, 464 boxes.
We have a steady but quiet market since
our last weekly report.
CoRN.-The market shows firmer tone
with prices about 1c higher at the close,
The demand has been quiet the advance
being caused by the higher cost to ship from
from the west.
BEANs.-Receipts have been quite liberal
and the market has been we'll supplied
with all kinds. Demand shows but little
improvement, and there has been no mate
rial change in prices.
EGGs.-Receipts are still running moder-
ate, and as most everything is more or less
mixed, the supply of strictly choice fresh
eggs continues short and prices for such
lots gradually working upward.
DRESSED PoULTRY.-Receipts have been
moderate for the past week. The weather
has been cooler, and since Monday there
has been quite little improvement in the
demand and frmer tendency in prices.
FLoUR.-The market has shown fair
business doing during the week with firm
or tone noted at the close. Buying are not
taking any lines, but the number OF moder-
ate purchasers foot up liberal, and this
helps out the business.
HAY.-The market for hay is yet quiet
with conditions not materially different.
The Massachusetts hay crop was large this
year, and this interferes with sales from
this market, particularly the suburban de-
mand. Receipts have been more moderate
but the market is yet we'll supplied.
BUTTER.-Receipts are fairly liberal for
this season of the year but only small
proportion Of the arrivals is strictly fine and
fresh made. Some lots are showing the ef-
fects of frosty feed. There is more fresh
made stock coming, however, than there is
storage goods.

The Indian Troubles.

There is now little doubt about the
cause of the outbreak in the Pillager
band of the Chippewa Indians, which
eliminated the other day in sanguin-
airy engagement with the troops. Some
of these Indians, who live on Bear
Island, in Leech lake, in northern Min
nesota, got possession of whiskey, it
appears, some months ago, and those
concerned in the unlawful sale of it
were tried in the United States district
court at Duluth and sentenced to ion
prisonment. More recently other ar
rests were made for a similar offence,
and the deputy marshal sought, as
usual, to secure witnesses to the Of
fence. Among these latter was Bush
Ear, the chief of the band. He refus-
ed to go as witness, but was taken
by the officer under warrant and then
was rescued by members of his band.
The deputy marshal, it is said, de-
manded the surrender both of the
chief and of the rescuers. This was
refused, and after parleying, troops
were called for, Fort Smelling promptly
responding with small detachment of
the Third Infantry, AS nothing very

Growing Dairy Cows.

We certainly believe in grooming
dairy cows. Grooming tends to pro-
mote health and comfort, and must
therefore produce more milk. We well
know the effect of grooming on the
horse being equivalent to 30 many oats
in the estimation of the expert horse
man, and why results should not prove
equally satisfactory with the cow does
not appear. The fact is they do and
every COW should be rubbed and brush
ed as regularly as she is fed. We must
have clean cows to have clean milk

The committee to whom was referred the
bill affording State aid to the town OF Wood
ford to enable IL to rebuild its highways de-
stroyed in the recent Bennington county
flood amended it as to the sum appropriated
and reported it favoraby. Friday fore
noon the House reached it and refused it a
third reading, but afterward reconsidered
il and the bill now lies for further action.
Although this is dangerous precedent to
establish, and other bills of the same nature
are being prepared, there appears to be
much propriety in granting the relief
asked, for the principal highway destroyed
is "a main road through the town, and the
taxpayers are utterly unable to command
the necessary funds to rebuild it. The
grand list Of Woodford is less than 81, 900
and it is now struggling under heavy debt.

case for the members to open their hearts a
little and help poor and needy brother.
