by Mr.. R. H. Moore, of Mecreville,
Tern, who sold him when yearling to
Mr.. Ozro N. Fry, of that city, for S27. so,
who in turn sold him at two years old
to a colored man named James WEIGH for
$45, and bought him back the succeeding
year for $780, and was introduced to the
turf by Mr. Fry.
Little Brown jug during his career won
seventeen races, and was defeated only
seven times, the last five times in efforts
against time. He took his record Of
2:11A at Hartford, Conn, in August, 1881,
and for nearly ten years held tho world 5
record for the fastest three heats in a
race.
Commodore Kittaon finally purchased
him to use on the road, paying $40, 900.
Upon the commodore's death he was sold
with the balance of the horses belonging
to the estate. His old-time speed having
left him he rapidly passed from hand to
hand.

GOOD WORDS FOR WASHINGTON

The state of Washington has passed the
most prosperous year of its history. Not
only have the lumber interests of that
state been exceedingly more abundant
In profits than usual, but even the SAL
mon have rushed in to help round out
the fertility of the year The pack of
salmon In that state for 1899 Is reported
to be S57, 900 cases, or more than twice
that OF 1898. This pack Is worth not far
from s6.50OoO0. The coal mines of the
state also increased their output during
the year. yielding 1,975,000 tons, worth
SIS, 431 .25O as against product in 1898 of
250,000 tons less, and worth less by $685.
00O The agricultural products of the state
are estimated to have been worth last
year upward of $21 100000. The lumber
products shipped out Of the state during
the year are estimated to have been
worth $12,000.0C0 or 20 per cent more than
the shipments of the previous year.

pay with the manure, as 1t possesses
value as well as the milk. If the farmer
cannot get enough from the cow to pay
for the food she eats, he will keep her
at loss. At S25 per year the cost Is
about z cents per day.
Some idea of the vastness of the inter,
ests involved, said Secretary Wilson,
speaking in favor Of the open door policy
in the Orient, may be gained from the
fact that while ten years ago our exports
from the Pacific coast to all countries ag,
gregated $26,0OO,0o0, and Ave years ago
$42,e0o,O00, the steady increase in Pacific
coast exports has raised the aggregate
to $73,C00,0 900 year ago.
e. M. Smell returned recently from a
trip UP the Walhalla branch and reports
but little wheat coming In. He says that
the most of the wheat, of which there is
considerable still in the hands Of the
farmers, Is held by men who are in
position to hold their wheat as long az
they wish and for that reason Mr. Smell
thinks there will be no movement in
wheat till the price advances materially.

Twenty head Of coach horses were sola
last week in the Chicago market to &C.
Goudet, City of Mexico, at the reported
price of $4,000. The consignment consist
ed of ten matched pairs, including two
that were counted unusually choice II
is expected that this consignment will aid
greatly in extending our trade in high
class horses in Mexico, which had al
ready attained considerable volume. 1t is
said that Mr.. Goudet's trade is with
prominent men in Mexico who may be
expected to become liberal purchasers If
they can be suited in the character of tho

Representative Tawney of Minnesota,
lately introduced a resolution in the
house directing the secretary of tho
treasury TO investigate and furnish facts
In regard to the sale and distribution of
oleomargarine. The resolution recited
that 49, 4l,0S1 pounds of oleomargarine
were made last year, an increase Of
45 pounds over the previous year.
that the sale of oleomargarine, colored
as butter, is prohibited by law In thirty
three states. A suspicion therefore arises
in the mind of the congressman that the
laws are being evaded.

evident that the Northwest enjoys

have a retarding effect in business along
this line, but, despite this situation, COM

little freedom as is possible and maintain

USEFUL HINTS.

Use lemon in adj fish sauces and serve
slices of lemon with broiled fish.
In making crust of any kind do not
melt the lard or butter into the flour or
your crust will be spoiled.
Scrambled eggs will be made creamy
If cooked In double broiler instead Of
a spider frying pan.
An appetizing flavor can be given to
broiled beefsteak by rubbing cut onion
over the hot platter with the butter.
Apple pies are improved in flavor by
adding three tablespoonfuls of freshly
made tea and a pinch of nutmeg.
Sugar added to the water used for
basting meats improves the flavor. This
is especially true of veal, the most taste
less of meats.

FARMER AS A MERCHANT.

st. Paul Trade Journal.
Congressman Charles B. Lands, of the
Ninth Indiana district, has elevated the
farmer to the position of a merchant.
MIR. Lands is a champion of rural free
delivery, which has been tried In his dis
trict, composed Of seven farming ccun-
ties, with no large city, so satisfactorily
that he says that If the government
should decide to abolish the system his
constituents would pay for it's maiu-
tenance out of their own pockets. Mr..
Lands says:
THE farmer of today is really
merchant, and he must of necessity come
in closer contact with the markets of the
world. This can be done by receiving the
newspapers which give the market quo
tations and assist the farmer In dispos-
ing Of his product. In my opinion the
farmer Is more entitled to free mall de-
livery than his brother in the city, be-
cause 1t means so much more for him
to drive eight or ten miles to the post
office. The city man could get his mail
at the postofflce If the delivery system
should be abolished much easier and

with less expenditure than the man in
the country.
This Is high tribute to the advanced
position of the farmer Of today. but it
is none too much SO. The solidity and
prosperity of the country begins and
ends with the farmer. He is the grand
support and anchor of all other classes.
Something like sG00,000,000 are paid out
each year to support the government
Directly the farmer gets the least of any
of the industries and enterprises. Rural
free mail is a great assistance to him,
bringing his letters and newspapers to
his door every day. Whereas he was
once an Isolated creature. he is brought
into immediate end constant touch with
the government and every thing else.
Enlightenment is the key stone in the
national arch. The farmer as merchant
will not by any means be out of place.
