EIGHTEEN MILLION
SALT LAKE BRICK
Output of the Local Plants
During Last Year..

] During the year 1899 a noticeable in
crease in the volume of business done
was manifested in the brick manufac-
turing line. Especially is this true OF
the Salt Lake plants The production
of these plants was not only increased
| from 10 to 20. per cent all around during
the year, but the demand was for a
better class of brick than had been
manufactured for several years previ-
Gus. The people of Salt Lake, partic-
ulariy, and of Utah, generally, the
brick manufacturers say, have shown
ample evidence during the year that
they are more prosperous than they
have ever been before. More attention
is being paid to the external appear
ance of brick building and this leads
the brick manufacturers to. believe the
volume of trade in their line will soon
be restored to what it was during for
mer boom years. In this belief they
are justified by the fact that more
large brick buildings were erected dur
ing the past twelve months than for
quite a number of years past, while
several more are now under course of
construction.
Such is the condition of trade in this
line that the manufacturers have erect
ed new kilns and dryers and it is al
most certain that the sun-drying
method will be abolished, as it is too
Slow.
1t is estimated that the entire pro-
duction of the Salt Lake brick yards
during he year 1899 was $4,000, 900, made
up of about an equal lot of pressed
and common brick The greater portion
OF, this product was made by two COM
panies, the Salt Lake Pressed Brick
company ard the Enterprise Brick
company, both of whose plants are
situated close to the city. At the be-
ginning of 1899 the various companies
had about $500. 900 brick on hand, Since
that time the Salt Lake Pressed Brick
company has manufactured 10000, 900,
the Enterprise company, 6,500,000, while
the output of the smaller plants will
aggregate 100000 additional. The mar
ket value of the product during 1899
was about S125,000. At the beginning
of 1900 it is estimated there is only
about 100000 brick left in the manu-
facturerS hands with which to supply
the trade until the next seasons fire
begins.
Altogether the brick manufacturing
plants of the city afford employment
to IT'S men, who earn from 81. so to So. 80
per day.
While the larger companies are de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
of building brick, Elias Morris & Co.
manufacture fire brick which is fast
winning reputation in this and the
surrounding states, TO which a good
portion of the Utah brick output is
shipped.
The production of 1899. while greater
than for years past, does not really
represent the true magnitude of the
brick plants of the city, The Salt
Lake Pressed Brick. company alone
has facilities for turning out 100000
brick daily, while the other yards are
just as large in proportion, but the con-
dition of the market will not justify
operation at full capacity.

slightly in membership during the year
and all were enabled to strengthen their

sorhe Sage of white HAIL.

General Cassius M. Clay, ex-minister
to Russia and known far and wide as
1.-THE Sage of White Hail. is almost
totally blind. To the Kentucky L. A.
W., which called upon him in body,
he stated that his sight was so i'm
paired that he could not distinguish
man from woman. Not only this, but
he is so feeble that when he left his
mansion and went out into his yard to
welcome the visitors he was compelled
to lean upon the arm of an attendant.
His fine old baronial mansion, now
falling into decay, in the upper story
of which bees have built their hives
and immense bats find home, is in
vested with the same mystery as of
yore and as sedulously guarded as
when the vendetta threatened him.
The general was not slow in notifying
his visitors that they could inspect his
grounds all they desired, but would
not be allowed to enter his castle. His
divorced child wife Dora is living with
her soldier husband at Pinkard, Wood
ford county, and the neighbors say
she never visits White Hall now.

winter layers of rich, brown, medium
sized eggs and fairly good table fowls.
The chicks grow well and develop rap
idly under proper care.
The buff variety is the most general
ly bred. Their color tone offers an at
traction to fanciers that is hard to re-
sist. Both male and female are of a
rich, deep, clear buff, uniform in shade
throughout except the tail, which
should be deeper buff or copperish
bronze; under color same as surface
color, but of lighter shade and should
extend to the skin. In breeding select
females as near as possible to the de-
sired shade of buff, as free from dark
or white in wing and tail and of as
even a color as can be. To such fe-
males mate a cock of deeper shade,
with some little black in wing and tail
of deep buff of a coppery luster. This
mating will produce good results in
cockerels and pullets. The heavy leg
and foot feathering, so characteristic
of the breed, should have constant
care and attention. While the feather
ing should be abundant all semblance
to vulture hook, or stiff feathering
should be avoided.-Farmers' Bulletin

method of making, giving us an idea
of first class dairying a half century
ago. His dairy consisted of II cows,
the product of the year being 2,414
pounds of butter, exclusive of that
used by the family of eight. The cows
came into profit in the spring and were
each fed per diem two quarts of grain
with their hay until turned out to
grass, when the pasture sufficed. The
milk was strained into clean pans and
allowed 10 stand until "loppered,"
when milk and cream were churned
together, the churn filed half full, and
water, cold or warm, according to
weather, was added. The churning
generally required two hours. When
the butter had come" cold water was
added, the butter taken out and wash
ed, sailed and put in a cool place for
about eight hours, when 1t was work
ed again and left to stand until next
morning. 1t was then worked once
more and packed away.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Points on Colors For Decorating An
Easily Made Hall eat-Hints
on Piemaking.

There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening, others that absorb
light and give a boxed up appearance
to a room, others that make a room
with a bleak northern exposure or with
no exposure at all appear bright and
cheerful some that make room APP
pear warm, some that make it appear
cold
If ceiling is to be made higher,
leave it light that it may appear to re-
cede. Deepening the color used on the
ceiling would make it seem lower, an
effect desirable if the room is small and
the ceiling very high Various tones of
yellow are substitutes for sunlight
The thermometer seems to fall 8
degrees when you walk into blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color,
therefore room fitted up in yellow
will appear smaller than it is. On the
other hand, blue of certain shade in
troduced generously into room will
give an idea of space Red makes no
difference in regard to size. Green
makes very little.
If bright, sunny room gets its light
from space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow painted house, or else
looks out upon stretch of green grass,
it should be decorated in color very
different from the shade chosen, if the
light shade comes from only an I'M
broken expanse of sky.
If olive or red brown be used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture, the
result is very different from what it
would be if blue were used. Blue would
develop the tawny orange lurking in
the mahogany.
Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and make it seem cheerful
Red brings out in room whatever
hint of green turks in the composition
of the other colors employed.

Economx In FeedIng.

Every dollar saved in the food is an
addition to the profit, but economy
should never be practiced in using any
foods that induce production. AS long
as an article is giving satisfaction. 1t
pays to use it, and when the hens fall
off in laying it indicates that they re-
quire something else. To practice econ
omy the costof the food must be con-
sidered from the standpoint of profit.
If corn has given good results and the
hens cease to lay, then corn is no longer
cheap. 1t may no doubt be purchased
at less outlay than any other food that
can be used, but it will not be cheap,
because it is of no further use after the
hens reach condition In which they
demand new article of diet. Lean
meat, fresh from the butcher, is an ex-
pensive food when 1t cannot be con-
yeniently procured, yet If the hens de-
mand 1t and the results are favorable
it is cheaper than corn. There is no
saving in buying grain because of its
cheapness when better foods are de-
manded, and 1t is this point that the
poultryman should keep In view. He
should feed for eggs, no matter what
kind OF food may be required.
