PLENTY Of BUSINESS.
Flour Rates Are Not in Good Con-
dttion

A meeting was held in Minneapolis
yesterday by the Western lines to discuss
ent in an unsatisfactory condition The
flour rates between st. Paul and Min
neapo!is and Eastern points have been
anything but stable, and some of the
roads are also dissatisfied with the di-
vision of the business as it stands to-
day.
With the exception of the flour rates
all Western rates are well adjusted at
TINS time. There is no occasion for maxi
ing MANY changes in the rates such as
there used to be. Everything promises
well ior large movement of all classes
of freight this season and the prospects
We're never better. To quote a local
freight omcial There is all sorts of

Full Limits For ROundIap Bales.

Cotton like every other commodity
is sold to the buyer that will pay
the most money. The America Cot
ton Company does not expect to get
cotton unless it meets competition.
The constantly growing demand at the
mills means broad and steady market
for every roundlap bale made, which
enables square bale firms to buy
roundlap bales at the gins and handle
them with profit. The American Cot
ton Compal Y is perfectly willing that
thew should do so, and it realizes that
if fr does not pay full limits other
BUYERS will. AS the ro1ndlap premium
pays the baling charge it costs the
Q over nothing to have his cotton put
1p in roundlap bales The advantage
to the producer in putting his cotton
into roundlap bales is easily demon
strated by simple calculation.

GRASSHOPPER BRICK FOR HENS.
Troublesome Insects Are Turned TO
Account in Nebraska.

GrasshOppers are being put to new
use out in Nebraska, says the Saturday
Evening Post. The farmers have kill
ed incredible numbers of them by the
help of a machine which is perhaps the
most effective ever devised for the prr-
pose. 1t is called a "hopperdozer, !"
and is noting more nor less than a
large Hat pan, with d small amount of
kerosene contained in depression in
the rear part of 1t. The continuance
being attached to a horse, is pushed
along in front of the ANNA! as the lat
ter is driven across the field. Pretty
nearly every grasshopper is encoun-
tered, jumps upon the pan and is
promptly sutfocated by the kerosene.
This ingenious instrument has been
in use for a number of years in parts
of the west, but hitherto it has not oc-
Cured to the farmers to make any use
of the dead grasshoppers. Most COM
monty they were burned, though some
more enterprising agriculturiots turn
ed a portion of them to account as
poUl TRY food. They found that the
hens liked them exceedingly; for il is
fact that a gra shopper is to hen
what canvassback duck is toa human
epicul e- the very choicest and most
esteemed of delicacles.
Hence the idea which is now being
developed on a commercial scale. The
grasshoppers, after being killed by the
hoppe! dozer, are lett in winrows in the
fields, where they are soon dried.
When they haye been exposed to the
sun for sufficient time to reduce
them to properly desicated condi-
tion they are gathered up with rakes,
shoveled into carts and conveyed to
shed, where they are put into press
somewhat resembling an ordinary
cheese press, and converted into solid
bricks.
The bricks are shipped in quantities
to poultrv-raisers, who find this new
kind of hen-provender most satisfac-
tory, and they are anxious to get more
of it. Apparently, it is great en-
courager OF reproduction.
1t is not necessary to grind the
bricks before feeding the stuff to the
CHECKERS, but smerely to break them
into pieces and soften with water.
