For many years there was not much call
for must in this city. What little was
needed to fill the demand was imported
from Germany.
in recent years great deal of must has
been sent to this city from the VINEYARDS
in Ohio and central New York Some has
come from California but when it comes
here from long distances it does not last
long. Ohio and New York are making
a good grade Of must and the Germans
drink il with relish. although in some places
they keep barrel or half barrel Of the

drink anything else,
Anywhere east of Third avenue and south
of Fourteenth street one may find places
where must is sold Don't drink more than
two glasses on the first visit or you will
lie sorry, and in drinking the two glasses
lie sure TO drink them slowly and to eat
bread and cheese with the drink. This
is not advised merely a. "A precaution, but

Rye for Hog Pasture.

A correspondent writes us to know
whether there is any danger in pastur-
ing pregnant sows on rye.
There is a common opinion that rye
fed to pregnant animals will produce
abortion. If the rye contains ergot,
there is danger not merely of abortion,
although we think that danger is over
estimated, but danger of producing dry
gangrene. The ergot of rye, or of any
other grain, tends to contract the ar
teries and hence weakens the circula-
tion at the extremities. The hoofs be-
come affected with dry gangrene, the
skin of the nose peels off and in hogs
the hair will come off; all the result of
weakened circulation of the extremities.
1t is therefore, dangerous to feed chop
ped rye that contains ergot, or rye
straw
The ergot can be readily detected by
the long black grains, known among
farmers as "spurred" rye. We do not
see, however, why there should be any
danger in allowing pregnant sows to
pasture on green rye, or rye in any
other stage, until the ergot begins to ap-
pear, which is about the time the rye is
ripe. We have never heard of any in
furious effects from it. Therefore, we
do not hesitate in saying that it is en-
tirely safe = Wallace's Farmer.

A recent compilation shows that the
price of the necessities of life are per
cent higher than at this time year ago.
A family must now pay Ss7 "a for what
could have been bought last October,
1900, for s9l29. Four years ago, in
October, 1887, the same things could
have been bought for s72.45. General
commodity prices are now higher than
at any time in the last ten years. 1t may
be roughly said that the cost of living
is one-fourth higher than when at the
lowest point. That is to say, the dollar
has deprecated in purchasing power.
To use the kind of argument made
familiar in the political campaign of
1885, we now have rs cent dollar. 1t
follows from this that the person of
fixed income, whether from wages, sal
ary, investment, pension, or the like is
not as we'll off as during the hard times.
Unless the dollars coming to him have
increased in number proportionately to
the decline of each in exchange value,
the screaming good times of the last
four years, concerning which there has
been SO much general graduation, have
brought no dividends.-Des Moines
