Most Excellent Service.

Such is the universal comment of ex-
perienced travellers after making trip
over the Great Overland Route" the
Union Pacific Railroad. 1t excels in
completeness of equipment, condition
of track and spec of trains, all of
which make travel a continual source
of comfort and pleasure. All principal
points east are reached many hours
earlier than via other lines. and con-
sequently at less expense. Therefore,
when you decide to GO east you should
use this popular line, and for further
information communicate with Fl. M.
Clay, General Agent, Salt Lake City,
Utah.

Lisbon nntter In london.

The immense consumption Of butter
in this colony derived from foreign
sources has set many people in recent
years thinking as to whether they can
not participate in the profits to be de-
rived from a trade which John Bull al
lows to go past his doors, says The
Dairy. Thus it is the Australian trade
has grown, America has been let in,
and Canada has been enabled to in
crease her export to US 700 per cent.
This year Denmark aud Sweden,
France and Italy, Russia and Holland,
pay great attention to our require
ments in the matter of butter. But
there are other countries on the CONT
nent which have cows and surplus
milk, and Portugal is the latest of
these to show she is aware of the right
market wherein to dispose of the but
ter she did not need herself. Lately
there have been several conslgnments
from that country, and as the expert
ment is said to have turned out bene-
ficially to the exporters we are likely
to find Portugal established on our list
of imports, though. the customs will
hide the fact under the "other coun-
tries" euphemism which is SO irritat-
ing to the inquirer. Undoubtedly, says
Commercial Intelligence, the wonder
full manner in which prices have kept
UP is responsible for the appearance OF
Lisbon butter in our midst. The dry
weather everywhere has SO curtailed
production that quotations are at pres
ent some los to lis per cwt ahead OF
those ruling this time last year, and
the demand keeps at the heels of sup
ply, which is a great temptation, and
Just the opportunity for newcomer
to step in.

Selecting Breeding Turkeys have
met with best success with pullets OF
from sixteen to twenty pounds, and OLD
hens from eighteen to twenty-three
pounds. They lay eggs that are larger
and more fertile than do the bigger
hens. They are also more active ana
healthy, and make better mothers.

on the shape and color of offspring
