Food Prices and Politics.

The medium-class restaurants and

prices for food. One Of the proprietors
explains to Q reporter that .it is case
Of put up prices or shut up shop" He
says that during the last five years

any compensating increase in wages or

If this state of things shall continue
until the fall elections-snd there are
no signs of an abatement of the trouble
lit will very possibly affect the voting
seriously for the party in power. The
farmers and the trusts may be satisfied
with prosperity" but how about the
consumers-who outnumber them many
times.

The agricultural colleges and the ex-
pertinent stations as well as the experi-
ments of our successful stock raisers
and feeders have shown beyond contra
sdiction and controversy, that In all farm
animals that are raised for meat, early
maturity gives much more profit than
the old fashioned way Of keeping the
animals fol- stlonger time In which to
mature. 1t has been thoroughly dem.
onstrated that there Is more money in
maturing the steer at two years old than
there is to let him run and take three or
four years to reach the same weight.
The same is true of the hog. If he can
be made to weigh $50 to 300 pounds by
the time he is eight to ten months old
more profit will be given than If the
weight was obtained in 12 to eighteen
months. Good judgment, care and skill
are required to do this successfully, and
only the breeder and feeder who exer-
cises these qualities can make the busi-
ness a success aud realize the highest
profit from his work. 1t has been DEM
onstrated, that the young animal takes
less food to make pound of growth
than an old one, and as it is the policy
of the feeder to get as many pounds of
meat as possible for his feed, this can
be done better with young animals

Cows in the Alps.

The COWS in the Alps are generally
very large and fine, OF dark mouse
color growing white at the muzzle,
writes correspondent of The Chicago
Journal. Each one has name, and
bell around her neck, and as the
herder must be with them all day, they
are 80 accustomed to being with human.
kind that they really seem to have
human intelligence. Several mornings,
when staying in the homes of the
mountaineers, have got up at day
break to see them milk and care for
their herds, and as 1 saw how gently
they handled them, and the trustful
way the COWS would lay their heads
against the keepers, as if trying in their
dumb way to express their affection, It
added to my regard for the sturdy fell
lows, who looked as if they might be
as rough as bears.
One COW, who leads the herd, has q
much larger bell than the others, and as
she starts off the rest follow along the
narrow path up the mountain side, the
different bells tinkling like chimes in
the early morning air and forming q
very romantic pastoral scene.

publishers and to good farming, for, of

try. 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition

and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec

cations In the country, that enable us to
offer the four In connection with our

A..,.mins Hu.band., Names.

The practice of the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage, ac-
cording to DR.. Brewer, originated from
a Roman custom and became the COM
mon custom after the Roman occupa-
ton. Thus Julia and Octavia, married
to Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavia
of Cicero. and in latter times married
women in most European countries
isigned their names in the same manner,
but omitted the "of." Against this
view may be mentioned that during the
stxteenth and even at the beginning of
the seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful, since we find Catha-
zine Parr SO signing herself after she
had been twice married, and we al
ways hear Of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley, Arabella Stuart (not Sey-
mour), etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
as Rracton (died 12GS), and it was de-
cided in the case Of Bon versus Smith,
In the reign of Elizabeth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band. Altogether the custom is involv-
ed in much obscurity.
