Muscular Christianity.

Prof Bryce, in his biographical
study of Bishop Fraser, of Manches-
ter, tells Of a clergyman of Fraser's
diocese who had knocked man down
who had insulted him. The bishop
wrote him letter of reproof, point
ing out that exposed as the Church OF
England was to much criticism on all
hands, her ministers ought to be very
careful of their demeanor. The Of
fender replied by saying: Il must re.
gretfully admit that being grossly
insulted, and forgetting in the heat Of
the moment the critical position OF
the Church of England, | did knock
the man down, etc Fraser was de-
lighted with the turning of the tables
on himself, and afterward invited the
clergyman to visit him.

The Russian policy in Manchuria
may be said to be due to the necessity
of finding new markets fer her indus

out Russia's ambition in the Manchur-

the transportation of her own mer-
chandise. Despite her. great railroad
she has no real advantage over the

Beet Pulp AS Stock Food.
BY PROF. A. w. HENRY.

Concerning beet pulp, permit me 10
say that this article, in my judgment,
has about half the feeding value of corn
silage. Being a succulent feed, it can
we'll replace that article where it can be
secured by the farmer more economical
ly or more easily. The souring of the
beet pulp seems to render it more salts
factory to both cattle and sheep. One
should remember that beet pulp ranks
with roughage or coarse fodder rather
than with grain in character A reason.
able allowance will prove extremely ap-
petiZing to dairy cows, to fattening
steers, to sheep and to lambs. Being a
wet food dry corn forage and hay are
naturally complimentary foods. Then
of course some grain should be fed
where animals are yielding milk or be-
ing fattened. The effect of fee ding beet
pulp to animals living otherwise on dry
food is to stimulate the appetite, keep
the digestion active and in general make
the animal satisfied and contented, a
factor of great importance in securing
good and economical yields of milk and
good increase in weight while fattening.
Beet pulp can be saved by placing it in
pits dug in the earth, or it can be left in
large heaps, ia which case the outside
material will rot and form crust which
more or less protects the interior. 1t is
best kept by placing it in the silo.
hope Wisconsin farmers will come to use
the beet pulp, and believe that if they
will use wisely they will secure good re-
turns therefrom.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. Nov. 3, 1908.
There is decided falling off in the
quantity of tobacco sold during the past
week, compared with the sales of the
past two months. This is due to the
very small quantity of 1902 goods still
left in the hands of packers and others.
There would be no trouble in selling the
goods, if they were here, but dealers can
not sell what they have not got The
sales reported to us during the past
week were 1O0cs sold by Isaac Stirk;
120cs sold and Goes bought by Jacob
Mayer; 160cs sold and 225cs bought by
G. W. Bitner & Co.: Goes sold by Walter
S. Bare, and 1OOcs sold by Menno M. Fry
& Co.; in all, 830cs; and nearly or quite
all of the 1902 crop. Mr.. W. FL, Nc
Laughlin is showing samples of 1903
Connecticut, which are clean, of fine,
cinnamon cclor and of good style. The
sales for the corresponding week of last
year were 1047cs.
We have not heard much of the buy
ing that is going on in the present years
crop. 1t is stated that those who are
after it do not think it is SO good a crop
as last years. They say there is consid-
erable poor tobocco among it that is not
up to the mark, although all are agreed
it is an unusually clean crop. Although
considerable tobacco has been bought
thus far, there is no indication that the
contagion will take deep root and pro-
ceed rapidly. Country packers are likely
to enter the field, as they usually do,
much earlier than the city buyers,

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The work of the Connecticut Agricul-
tural Experiment Station during the
present year has been directed toward
the selection of tobacco plants with a
view of producing a, seed which shall not
be hybridized, but from plants which
have leaf of desirable size and shape.
On the typical plants chosen for seed Sc
lection the heads were capped before the
flowers opened. They were thus pro-
tected from any foreign pollen. We
have also preserved the leaves from
these plants and made records of their
will probably not be apparent for some
years.
The quality of the crop grown under
shade this year is very good, as far as
can be Judged at present. Some ten or
twelve different strains of tobacco we're
grown in this way.
The shade grown crops raised this sea-
son in Massachusetts, like those in Con-
necticut, have been of considerably bet
ter quality than the crops produced in
1902. The Pine Grove Connecticut Val
ley Tobacco improvement company har-
vested an exceptionally fine crop Of IL
acres. Plants made an excellent growth
reaching the top of the tent. The yield
is estimated at about 1900 pounds per
acre. Leaf was remarkably sound, and
it is believed will produce large pro-
portion of wrappers. The crop raised
by Mr.. l.. F. Graves of Whately was also
of fine quality and is curing nicely. The
% acres of shade tobacco raised by Mr..
Edmund Smith of Feeding Hills is much
superior, both in quality and yield to
the crop of 20 acres secured a year ago.
Yield will probably be about 1900 lbs.
per acre, compared to 800 to 600 lbs. last,

Mention was made in this column
some time ago of an action started in
New York to test the legality of the es-
timating contest so widely advertised by
the trust, under the name of the Floro-
dora Tag Co. The editor of the u. S.
Tobacco Journal was arrested, charged
with violating the anti-lottery law of the
state in publishing the advertisement of
the company. Upon trial held last week
the court held that the contest was not
lottery, and is in line with the decision
of other courts already made. In discuss
ing the chance feature of the case, Judge
Davis says: at will clearly appear that
the success of the competitors does not
depend upon mere chance. x x * Those
who have knowledge of the tobacco trade
by the exercise of skill in the estimation
OF it's statistics of past supply and de-
mand might easily form a judgment as
to future supply which would be the de-
termining factor in making him sue
cessful competitor in this contest" 1t
was hardly to be supposed that con-
Germ of the magnitude of the tobacco
trust would invest thousands of dol
lars in advertising their scheme without
knowing the legal standing of their pro-
Ject in advance.
***
The stringency of the money market
is beginning to show it's effect upon the
tobacco trade. Two large leaf firms of
Chicago, Sutter Bros. and Crump Bros,
were forced into bankruptcy during the
week through inability to extend their
loans falling due. Their downfall is
most likely caused by attempting to do
so large business on borrowed capital,
and when credit is withdrawn liquida-
tion must eventually follow. The loss,
if any, will fall upon banks rather than
upon dealers in leaf. These failures are
sincerely regretted in tobacco circles, as
they must embarass the credit of the
trade generally.
*xx
A question of more than usual inter-
est has been submitted to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, one of the
collectors stating that a party in his dis
trict is engaged in the manufacture of
nicotine sheep dip. The manufacturer
of the dip procures from manufacturers
of tobacco quantities of stems and ref
use tobacco from which he extracts the
nicotine, after which the stems and solid
refuse are ground up and mixed with
lime and sold as fertilizer. The collec-
tor inq uired if, under these conditions
the person manufacturing this sheep dip
is required to give bond and qualify as
a manufacturer of tobacco. In reply
the Commissioner informed him that
under the law manufacturers of tobacco
and dealers in leaf tobacco are not per-
mitted to sell their waste tobacco, such
as stems. cuttings and clippings, etc.,
in the natural condition. Therefore the
applicant in this case could not legally
purchase and use such material unless
he qualities as a manufacturer of to-
bacco and files the required bond. Ii
the applicant wishes to obtain tobacco
waste in its natural condition in order to
extract the nicotine from it before it is
converted into fertilizer he will be rel
quired to qualify as manufacturer of
tobacco and file bond.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Nov. Is, 1903.


The week brings but little news in
the tobacco market. Scattering sales OF
new goods are being made in the out
lying sections, but no organized effort
has developed toward the general move
ment of the crop. There is considerable
trading in old in moderate sized lots.
Mr.. Lowenheiml of Hamburg has gath
cred up something over 100cs from local
dealers of export grades during the
week. Jos. Bimberg purchased 200cs of
'01 from 0. FL. Holton of Stoughton. F..
s. Baines sold 337cs lot of 1901 and
purchased 90cs of Edwards Bros. Geo.
Rumrill reports the sale of 1SOcs of '01
and 02 during the week, which COM
prise the transactions coming to notice.
The first rain in several weeks came
Tuesday night but not sufficient to bring
the hanging tobacco into case.
The failure of two Chicago leaf firms
early in the week has caused much sur
prise and regret in local circles, and it is
hoped their embarrassment will be only
temporary. Sutter Bros. have been an
important factor in the Wisconsin mar
ket for many years, doing large bust
ness at several packing points.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 20 car loads, 953cs, for the week
to all points from this market.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-11-13

1t will be noted that the increase is
not as great as most people anticipated.
While some of the new growing districts
and Dane county as we'll, show consider
able enlargement of tobacco area, num-
Der of the older counties have a material
decrease in acreage, so the aggregate is
not so large after all. In the light of
these figures it is quite doubtful if the
1903 crop will yield any more cases of
merchantable leaf than that of 1902
There is apparently no reason to fear an
overproduction of tobaccos as long as
most of the other cigar leaf producing
states show reduction of acreage.
-
In this connection the following table
of comparative acreage of the cigar leaf
states, compiled by the n. E. Home
stead, will be of interest. There is man
ifestly an error regarding the amount of
cigar leaf tobacco grown in Ohio for the
figures include both cigar leaf and
Southern type. 1t is generally conceded
that Ohio produces considerably less ci-
gar tobacco than Wisconsin, which for
some years has been in the lead as the
largest producing cigar leaf state:

NEW YORK. Nov. 7, 1908


The market continues active, even
brisk. Although election kept out-of
town buyers from the market, orders
were plentiful to make the Offices hum
with work. Orders were chiefly for Wis
consin, Sumatra and Havana. The ex-
traordinary business done in Wisconsin
leaf proves the correctness of the judg
ment of the u. S. Tobacco Journal about
the scarcity of binder stock. The cigar
industry of the country seems to have at
last awakened to the fact that it can no
longer rely on the old tradition that to-
bacco can always be had. Like so many
other sayings, this has lost it's mossback
faith under the changed conditions of
both the cigar industry and the leaf
market. Hence the scramble to again
put in years supply of available leaf.
The same experience holds good with the
Sumatra. Most of the domestic crop of
the New England states has proved Is
disappointment for at least the past two
years and even if it had not, not enough
was raised to satisfy the legitimate de-
mands of our cigar industry. The only
recourse left was the Sumatra and as
the Sumatra for the past two years
could be offered at reasonable figures
and was of exceptional yielding capacity,
it was but natural that it should again
come into general consumption. Orders
for ten or fifteen bales have now taken
the place of the sample bale order and
the aggregate weekly sales comprise be-
tween four and five hundred bales. Sim
liar circumstances favor the Havana
market. The absence of the new Rene
dios crop pushes the old stock, which is
largely held in this country, and of which
but little could yet be acquired in Cuba,
and what there is of it on the island
commands a much higher price than
