Effect of the oleo Bill.

Some dairymen are inclined to be-
lieye that the passage of the oleo bill
means permanent heavy advance in
the price Of products, particularly but
ter, and are banking the future Of the
dairy interests along these lines as be-
ing very promising. The best intent
of tn, oleo bill is the suppression of
fraud, and it is doubtful whether
prices advance as much as some seem
to think. Yet a national law forcing
bogus butter TO sell for just what it is
must exert salutary influence on the
market for butter. Dairymen should
keep up the high standard of the pure
product and see that the cleo bill is
strictly enforced.-Farm and Home.

Horses are high this year, and every

The reasons for the rapidly growing
strength of the demand for tariff re-
vision, even within the Republican par
", are obvious enough. William Nc
KlnIey in his last speech expressed one
Of them when he said that the coun-
