world. mo.. n.marlablc Whirlpool.

The Maelstrom, which means literal
ly, grinding stream" Is situated on
the Norwegian coast. southwest OF the
Loffoder Isles, and is the most re-
markable whirlpool in the world. IL
runs between the island Of Moskenes
and large solitary rock In the middle
OF the straits The strong currents
rushing between the Great wes.
Fjord and the outer ocean through the
channels of the Loffoden Isles produce
q number Of whIrlpools. OF which the
maelstrom is by far the most danger
Gus. During severe storms from the
west, for instance. the current runs
continually to the east at the rate ofslx
knots an hour. without changing It's
direction for rising or falling tide;
and the stream will boil and eddy in
such mighty whirls that the largest
steamer could hardly contend success
fully with the waters. The depth OF
the whirlpool is only twenty fathoms,
but Just outside the straits soundings
reach from 100 to 200 fathoms. The
great danger to vessels is of course not
of suction into the heart OF the whirl-
pool, as legends have supposed, but OF
being dashed to pieces against the
rocks.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Reductions We're Expected in ihe Iron TRADE.
Textile industry Kept Busy-favor-
able Trade Conditions.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Formal reduction OF S. per
ton in prices OF plates and bars and
closing OF mills by the American Steel
and Wire Company have filled the week
with surprises. In the stock market,
the market Tor steel and iron products,
changes have begun, the end OF which
cannot well be foresecn.
Apart from the disturbance in spec
alation there has been produced meas
ure OF distrust regarding prices that
tends to deter buying. In the iron bus-
ness the formal reductions were almost
wholly anticipated in actual sales. Some
urgent and important contracts have
been made, including that ior the New
York tunnel, requiring 5000 tons at
prices not stated. but it is known that
many others have been deferred until
the prospect is clearer
There is slightly better demand for
hides at Chicago, but the distribution OF
boots and shoes does not keep all the
factories at work. Greatly restricted
buying has been caused by the high
prices asked. The shipments from
Boston in three weeks have been 3I,ISa
cases, or II.6 per cent smaller than
last year.
The textile industries have large or
ders yet to be filled. which keep many
OF the mills busy. but there are many
others less fortunate. and their hunt for
orders causes irregulzrity in prices. The
staple woolen and worsted goods hold
steadily, but in less favored lines. both
ior mems wear and in dressgoods, the
business is by no means satisfactory.
Wool has been inactive. Cotton goods
are by some sold al concessions for fu-
ture delivery.

The Profit in Poultry.

There is profit in poultry if it ia
given half chance. Even when the
returns in fowls and eggs are small a
flock may be of great value as foragers.
The quantity of insects and weed seeds
that are devoured are seldom taken
into consideration, but they are not to
be passed by without notice. So we
can well afford to keep the hen, even
though the mischief done were twice
as great. But with poultry, as with
other farm stock, the day for the scrub
is past.
So much has been written regarding
the immense profit to be obtained from
poultry that one might almost suppose
that the millennium would surely be at
hand as soon as every one could be in
duced to raise chickens. 1t would be
as we'll to advise everybody to raise Gu
cumbers. Why not recommend the
gardener to grow wheat or the dairy
man to raise sheep? If farmer has a
taste for poultry he is likely to make it
an important part Of his business, for
he can discover what is profitable with
out being told. If he has not an apti-
tude for fowls it is the part of wisdom
to limit himself to email flock, as
many do. There are many farms on
which small hocks are kept merely to
supply the family with table fowls and
eggs. Few or none of the products are
sold. Other interests are found more
congenial than poultry raising, conse-
quently more proftable.-(Frank d.
Wells, before the Michigan Poultry
Breeders Association.

Current Comment.

DRESSED PoULTRY.-Recepts have been
quite liberal for the past week but mostly
frozen. Fresh killed stock has been in
rather light supply and choice western
fowls have been doing little better OF late,
some choice marks at the close bringing lie.
Fresh turkeys generally poor and have to
be worked off at low prices. Most OF the
western chickens are shaggy, and are worth
little more than old cocks, but anything
really choice and soft sells easily at full
quotations. Fancy large capons steady.
BuTrER.-Receipts have fallen off a little
again this week, but we have had dull
and unsatisfactory market, and receivers
have been obliged to cut prices in order to
keep consignments knowing. There was
good deal OF stock left over, and the best OF
this was urged for sale on Monday at pa
and 25c. Tuesdays receipts OF fancy fresh
Vermont and New Hampshire assorted
sizes sold for the most part at 25c. Yester-
day the market was quiet at 2Sl and 25c.
and today there are no quotable sales at
over Hic. Strictly fancy west. assorted
sizes have been selling at about the price of
northern. Large ash tubs have been dull
and easy, and at the close are having dull
sale al 2ic North. dairy has been coming
xuite freely, late sales Of the best Vermont
at 22c. generally, with common to good
down to 10 and zoe and slow at that. Rem
ovated butter in full supply and taking the
place Of most everything except fancy fresh
creamery. Boxes steady. Prints qu.et.
FLoUR.-The flour market is dull with
the situation unchanged Buyers are yet
operating as their necessities force them to
purchase, but this seems to be the extent of
the demand. There is no speculative feel
ing apparent and only ahand.to-mouth bus
mess is doing. Prices are held about the
same, and are obtained in the moderate
way supplies are needed. Spring patents
are mostly selling at $3.50 and $685. but
ha a
while about 81 is the top of the market, ex-
cept some special brands. Winter patents
continue slow Of sale, with the range at
about 1918 and $780, For winter clear
and straight fours about 1925 and S3 90
covers the range of sales. Low grade fiours
are dull and nominal in price In the absence
Of transactions.
Eggs.-Best west. sold on Friday at l6c.
and on Saturday at 15h and 16c. Monday 3
receipts were liberal and the market drop
ped to 1870, holding steady at that figure nn-
I'll today, when best marks sold at LIT.

Feeding Wheat.

Again we hear talk of feeding wheat.
1t seems to me inadvisable. Even if
wheat goes no higher-and many be-
lieve it should go higher--it is not so
profitable a feeding stuff as some other
grains and byproducts at present
prices. The question is not whether
wheat can be fed with profit at 60 to
65 cents bushel, but whether it can
be fed at those prices with as much
profit as other foods. 1t surely can
not in the case OF most farm animals.
The grains-all grains-are made up
in great degree of starchy material.
1t makes heat and fat. That is got in
corn for much less a pound than in
wheat. The muscle-making material
the costly portion--is the hull and
the germ of the grains. This can be
got in the byproducts upon the market
the bran, middlings, gluten meal etc.
A ton of these materials can be
bought usually for less than ton of
wheat is worth, and contains far more
of the costly muscle making material.
That is to say, pound of protein, or
muscle making material, in those by
products costs far less than pound of
1t in wheat, and pound of starch in
corn costs far less than pound of
starch in wheat. The needed food
comes much more cheaply in a COM
bination of corn and some such by
product as has been mentioned than in
wheat at present prices. For poultry
the wheat may be best at times, but for
stock using ground food the cheaper
grains balanced by rich byproducts
upon the market for the purpose, make
the more profitable ration.-David, in
Farm and Preside.

How to Combat the Forest Tent Cat
erpilIar-- Commercial Fertilizers.

The Vermont Experiment Station
has in press Bulletin rs, thirty-two-
page illustrated bulletin on the Forest
Tent Caterpillar. 1t will be issued in
about week. 1t gives description
of the insect, and the measures which
may be taken to cope in some measure
with 1t. 1t gives no easy method, no
means of complete eradication when
once thoroughly established, but points
out how individuals or communities
may check the ravages to a consider
able degree, and materially better the
situation.
Bulletin n on Analyses of CONNER
cial Fertilizers is likewise in press. 1t
contains analyses of forty fertilizers,
those of over 100 brands for five years
past, discussion of values, selection,
etc. 1t ought to prove helpful to the
buyer of this class of goods.
Either or both of these bulletins will
be sent without charge to any Vermont
address on application. If the appli-
cant desires to receive all future issues
of station bulletins and reports without
charge and without further notice, he
should ask in addition that his name
be placed on the station mailing list.

Scientific Cream Separation.

The value of the cream separator has
been acknowledged by all dairy work
ers who have seen the results OF it's
operation since its introduction into
this country by DR.. Gustaf De Laval
nearly twenty years ago. The only
question has been whether 1t would pay
for use in small dairies-that is'
whether the saving by its use would
pay good interest on its first cost. DR..
De Laval believes this is satisfactorily
answ cred since the perfection of the
"Baby" machine, which is designed
for use in small diaries. These ma
chimes are especially designed and con-
structed for hand use, and four-ffths of
them are altogether used in such way.
The mechanical construction of the
machines in this respect is one of their
most important features. The De
Laval machines are hand machines in
every sense, and are intended for use
in such manner. The operation is sur
prisipgly easy, and many are run
wholly b. women and children. Still
when users may prefer from one reason
or another, to attach to power, the ma
chimes may be readily connected with
light and uniform power of any kind,
from dog or calf tread to water motor
or engine. The "Baby" machines
range in capacity from $50 pounds to
$50 pounds of milk per hour. By ca
pacity is meant the separating capacity
of whole milk per hour. Any amount
of milk from gallon upward may be
separated with either of the machines,
it being simply question of duration
of run, according to quantity to be put
through.
1t will be we'll for the up to date
farmer, as well as the dairyman, to
write to the De Laval Separator Com
pany, No. IA Cortland St., New York,
for valuable manual on the separa-
tion of milk. 1t contains information
of interest.
