BEEF TRUST CORNERS EGGS.
Has Millions of Dozens Placed in Cold
Storage

The New York Herald of today says: Not
satisfied with reaping enormous profits in
beef the packing house monopoly has deter
mined to corner the market in eggs. Swift
& Co. have secretly placed 4S.200Oo0 eggs
in cold storage in Jersey City to dole out
to the dealers or hold as suits their conven-
ience in manipulating the market
Increased demand for eggs by sufferers
unable to pay the tribute demanded for beef
has opened the vista of a fortune. and thou
sands of dozens have been stopped on their
way to the market.
An increase of three cents a dozen would
net Swift & Co. s10s,Oo0 additional profit on
the single lot held.
Pork, veal and lamb. to which many have
turned for food. have been forced up In
price. and are expected to go higher.
Dealers are forced to act as selling agents
for the beef trust without commission
They can obtain from, their customers no
more than the cost of their meats demanded
by the monopoly.
With the coming OF summer many retailers
will close their shops to await the climax
There is gossip that the trust means TO
drive them all into poverty, that il may alb
sorb the retail business in fits own gigantic
system.
/ Even lard is controlled by the monopoly
and its price is being gradually forced up.

Loss by Fire.
Progressive Age.

Among the statistical publications of the
year are the Fire Tables for 1901" a royal
octave volume of 475 pages, issued by the
Insurance Chronicle, and giving statistics
of fires during 1900. So much about ilu-
minating gas being incendiary in its pro-
pensities has been published by mouth and
ink in the past, that there is deep-rooted
popular prejudice which makes people
afraid of gas and cling to coal, candles and
OIL Therefore, while looking over the in
surance tables referred to above we have
taken the time to abstract few figures
which bear upon the relative fire risks of
common forms of light, heat and power

AS there was grand total of "a, 249 fires
reported in 1900, about 2 per cent were
caused by gas. In tenements and dwellings
there was total of AZ, 29S fires aggregating
S23, 1917 6S5 loss thereby, about third of
per cent being caused by gas.
This shows clearly that Of all the meth

should not the fact be advertised? 1t would
be an additional inducement to have all

New York city the use OF gasoline engines
is prohibited, and In other cities more or
less stringent rules are In force, but there
is no uniform policy followed except that
the rates are 25 to so cents less than for
steam plants. The safety of gas over gaso-
line is manifest for this purpose, and there
should be distinct discrimination In its

STRONGLY ADVERSE
DISTRICT AUDITOR REPORTS
AGAINST A PENDING BILL.
Measure introduced ''for the Relief
Of Emmert, Dunbar & Company
Commissioners Disapprove.

The District Commissioners have forward
ed to Representative Joseph V Graf. chair
man of the House committee on claims, an
adverse report on House bill 1928. for the
relief of Emmert, Dunbar and Company"
The recommendation is based on a report
by the District auditor, Mr.. ]. 7. Petty, a
copy of which is transmitted. Mr.. Petty
explains the claim and the position of the
District as follows:
This firm contracted. September 81. 1871,
to lay what was known as the thirty-six-
inch water main. After the completion of
their contract they presented bill of $780,
1862 for extra work, which General o. E.
Babcock, chief engineer of the Washington
aqueduct. referred for examination to Col
I. B. Samo. the assistant engineer in i'm
mediate charge. under whose supervision
the main was laid. The latter, reporting
upon this reference, disallowed S41, ,2S9.3 .35,
and awarded S1S.957.17. which last named
settlement by the legislative assembly, and
was paid September %, 1873.
Files Claim for Disallowed Balance.
THE late DR.. Alexander Dunbar, a men,
Der Of the firm, filed with the board of au-
dit under the act of June 20. 1874, claim
for the disallowed balance of SAL 2S9 35,
which was rejected. or al least not grant
ed. In 1889 he renewed the claim in an ap-
peal to the Commissioners, urging it's pay
ment with great persistency UNTIL during
the year 1892. the matter was referred to
me for investigation to ascertain and re-
port what, If any, merit it might possess.
In conjunction with the late Daniel Dono-
van. then clerk In my office, who was a
civil engineer and had been associated with
the board of public works, L examined the
records relating to the case, and reached the
conclusion that if the government waived
all claims it might have against the con-
tractors on account of violations of their
contract, technical and otherwise, and set
tied upon purely equitable basis, they
would be entitled to receive the sum of
$14, ,54S22

Warmth and Laying.

Lively lol llCl anu pOulI1 Dlun hllOWo
that when there are several days of
very cold weather the hens stop lay
ing, while during the warm weather
they all seem to begin laying at once.
The fact is one which is a problem to
some as it is not always due to the
kind of food or the quantity that the
eggs are reduced in number or in
creased. When the quarters are warm
in the winter and the fowls are as COM
Portable as they are in summer the
hens will not be so quickly affected by
the changes in the weather, but there
is no flock, no matter how we'll man
aged that does not fall off in eggs to
a certain extent when the weather is
severely cold. This is probably the in
stinct of the wild hen, though only par
TALLY so, which prompts her to bring
forth her young only under extremely
favorable conditions, but it is safe to
claim that as the hen will work under
summer conditions the best mode of
securing eggs is to have summer con-
ditions in the poultry house all the
winter
Strictly Fresh Eggs.
Some dealers will sell all eggs as
strictly fresh" if they can do SO. They
carefully candle" the eggs received,
and the majority of customers are I'M
able to distinguish the good from the
inferior. But customers will buy the
best when they know the eggs to be
fresh, and it is in catering to the GUS
toner's wants that trade in choice
eggs can be established almost any
where. 1t is not necessary to ship
eggs to a great distance to sell them,
as there is market the whole year
round for strictly choice eggs, but the
farmer or poultryman will have to take
pains to let the customers know all
the facts and his work will then be
more than half done There is always
a higher price for the best article.
A Mode of Preserving Droppings.
There is nothing that parts with it's
ammonia sooner than poultry manure,
and short period only is necessary
for it to deteriorate. In the process of
drying the evaporating moisture has
tens the loss of volatile mater. The
TWO-RANCH AND RANGE-Smith
fat acid bears a direct relation to the
alcohols, and are capable of forming
compounds, which result where the
droppings are kept moist with suds
(for they must never be allowed to be-
come dry), and during the time the
changes are occurring in the mass the
insoluble portions are reduced and the
whole rendered more available as
plant food as well as retaining it's val
lie as fertilizing agent.
Lice-Proof Nest.
A good lice-proof nest, and one that
is cheap, may be made from an old
kerosene oil barrel Cut out two
slaves between the middle hoops. Cut
the barrel in two, exactly in the mid
die. Make board cover for each half
and there will then be two nests that
the lice will give wide BERTH The
barrels do not cost over Is cents, and
will last one year without giving an
other soaking of kerosene, and may
be used continuously if well sprinkled
with kerosene every spring and fall.
