a NEW TRUST IN GERMANY.
Rice Mills Combine with a Capital
Of eEJ.2OO.OOG-

Of .s:JJ.2OO.Oo0.
The State Department has received from
the United States Consul at Bremen a
report concerning new trust recently
organized there:
Another trust has sprung into exist
ence. with headquarters in Bremen and n
capital stock Of So. 200 600 It is called the
Refs ind Handles AktIen GeseIIsehart'
and is combination Of ali the German
rice mills. FIVE Of which are located in or
near Bremen, three IN Hamburg. ana one
in Flensburg- These nine mills become
the property Of the new association. which

rial and also The selling Of the polished
goods This new trust viii no doubt
bring hardship 10 many firms and indivlG-
Iais here in Bremen. who for years have
heen engaged in this business: but il is
claimed that not cupidity. but necessity.
compelled the German rice mills to form
this combination and to do away with
large number of sO-calIed middIemeu
The reasons given for this step are
Erst the increased number Of mills that
have been built in the East Indies where
most Of the rice is grown These mills il
is claimed, do not produce as good an ar
Jicle as do their European competitors;
but they have found an extensive trade for
les and SObsl OF the equa tor where the
people are satisfied with an inferior quail
ity Of rice. Rice polished in the Indies
does not find its way readily to the mar
kets Of northern countries, because the
goods suffer from heat during transporta-
ton Yet it is feared that with lower
prices this article may gradually find a
market everywhere and compete seriously
with the European mills.
The other reason urged for this new
combination is the tariff war Germany
had with Russia some time ago. GERMANY
had refused TO treat flour of Austro- Hun-
garian origin as coming from one of the
most favored nations. because it might be
ground from Russian grain, whereupon
Austria Hungary retaliated by warning
against rice polished in Germany but orig
mating IN different country. In conse-
quence of this. new rice mills were built
at Trieste. Pesth, and Aussig, which now
supply the entire demand for rec in Aus
triaH Hungary that market was thus lost
to the German mills.
In order to protect themselves and TO
keep up their production, these nine mills
claim that they were compelled 10 reduce
expenses, which they propose to do by
placing their entire business in the hands
of one board of managers with a central
Office, which will Go all the buying of the
raw material on the rice exch1ase Of Lon
don or in the East In1ies, and will have
the exclusive right of selling direct 10 The

by the Republican managers with the liquor pqo-

improbable that the Senate viii act on the

FOWLS AND THEIR FRUIT.

ROup comes from colds.
Slightly sprinkle the dust bath with
carbUlic acid.
Hens addicted to egg eating had best
be sold or killed.
The nest must occasionally be renew
ed and kept clean. Straw is better
than hay.
After the Matching season is over
there is no advantage in letting the
rOosters run with the hens. The eggs
will keep better without them.
Whitewash adds comfort by making
the walls light, and it gives an air OF
cleanliness which even the fowls en-
joy. while at the same time IL is an ex-
cellent insect destroyer.
When the flock appears droOpy and
seems TO lose appetite, linseed meal is
one Of the most harmless and beneficial
foods. By giving il in the soft food
once a day the fowls may be restored
to health.
