A circular before us claims that a
certain feed will make milk richer in
butter fat" Such a statement shows
the writer to be either fool or a
knave No feed will make any ma
terial difference in the percentage of
butter fat in the milk of a given cow.
It is possible to increase the flow of
milk and thus increase the quantity of
increasing the percentage of butter fat
in the milk of q COW.

We are in receipt Of frequent inQui-
ries as to the effect of brewers grains
upon the flavor and quality of milk,
says Hoards Dairyman. There seems
to be no end to the number of times
questions of this character can be re-
peated. Fed in reasonable amounts
when fresh from the brewery Or if kiln
dried there can be no possible objection
to their use, and when they can be pur
chased at any fair price there is no rea-
son why dairymen should not use them.
Twenty to thirty pounds per day of the
wet grains is perhaps as much as
should be fed, and extreme care should
be taken not only that the grains are
fresh and sweet, but that the recepta-
cles for their storage and the boxes and
hangers in which they are fed should
be kept scrupulously clean. Wet grains
ferment very quickly, especially in
warm weather, and if not stored in a
tight receptacle the liquid running from
them not only produces bad odor, but
makes breeding place for all manner
of Objectionable bacteria. Objections Of
this kind do not obtain where the kiln
dried grains are fed, especially if they
are dried before fermentation has set

WILL FIGHT ASSESSMENTS
Two Companies Get Reductions, but
Say Ratings Are Still ~
g.: Too High. ~.

Two fights were started by the city
board of equalization this morning thru
Its refusal to fix assessments in accord
with the views of two taxpayers. The
Merchants Cold Storage company, arbi-
trarily assessed at $79,S0O, contended that
it's property would not exceed $4,000 or
$4,000 in value, as the produce in the
building was owned by various parties
who held warehouse receipts. The equal
izers requested a representatives of the
company to give the names of the owners.
| This, he said, he was unable to do, as
the warehouse receipts changed hands
and the property would be turned over to
the one who held it, who, in turn, might
not be the original owner A request was
| then made for the names of the persons
| to whom the receipts were issued, but
this request was also refused on the
grounds of business policy.
The assessment was reduced to $4,000.
The representatives thereupon announced
that they would not submit, but would
make a fight.
| The assessment Of Hoover & Allison
was reduced from 100000 to $4,000. This
concern was supposed to have about
twenty-five cars of twine and cordage in
this city on May 1, but this could not be
definitely established and there was also
a question as to values. The company
viii refuse to abide by this assessment
and is preparing for legal contest.

A pitiful cas- eof undeseryed Imprisonment

state hospital at St. Peter in 1901. Nearly

for by the state, tho admittedly weak minded.

Minnesota is practically independent Of

The smaller liabilities, with the fact that
some years ago Minnesota depositors re-

Of cash, has caused them to keep their
balances in home banks. This is full
and sufficient explanation Of the state

as to the small balances carried by the

10 LEGAL EXECUTIONS

TWenty-six dairy COWS from about St
Paul, accused Of tuberculosis and found
guilty, were killed at South st. Paul to-
day in the presence Of Dr. S. H. Ward
secretary Of the state live stock sanitary
board, DR.. S. H. Brimhall, the field vet
erinarian and Dairy Commissioners Nc
Cornell.
The cattle had reacted under the sec
ond tuberculosis test, and the officials
are curious to see whether all are in
fected. Many dairymen claim that the
tubercular stest is, not infallible.
The new board is determined to keer
a strict watch against the sale OF. meat
from Infected cattle. There Is reason ia
believe that tuberculous meat has been

he has in all 1870. He writes to a let
ter broker, requesting an offer for them.
He sends with his request a copy of the
advertisement to which the letters are re-
plies, a guarantee that none Of the letters
have been used by anybody but himself,
and list Of the number Of letters and
the dates Of the oldest and freshest. The
broker offers $50 thousand and the let
tiers are shipped.
The broker throws out all s'dupes" or
seconds as letters bearing duplicate
names are called FIRST replies to adver-
tfsements are called "irsts"), and, count
ing what rema1nss RENTS the amount due
for them, at the same time returning the
rejected duplicates. ..
Then the broker hires out the letters to
another cancer cure man, who agrees not
to permit the names and addresses which
he copies from them to be used by any
body but himself, and not to keep the let
tiers more than a certain number of days.
While the letters are in the latter's pos
session the broker seeks another customer
for them. .,> 3-
The first rental Of lot of letters usually
brings the broker about half the amount
he paid for them outright, and the second
rental about three-fifths as much as the
first rental. The three first rentals usually
pay the broker the cost Of purchase, after
which every cent is profit. -,
LeLterS from students and WOuld-be
students Of hypnotism and astro1ogy can
also be hired at reasonable rates, from
50 to SIS a thousand. Agents and would-be
agents letters are always in demand and
sometimes rent for as much as $25 a
thousand.
few letter brokers have established
for their protection dummy systems
which enable them to know whenever any
lot Of their letters or any lot Of letters
that they are likely to want to purchase
in the future is copied.
Before sending out a lot of letters bro
ker having such system mixes in several
dummies letters signed with fictitious
names, key to which is kept. Any mail
matter directed to the name and address
on dummy letter will be received by the
broker.
Tho the name on each dummy letter is
different the address is generally the
same-that Of some friend Of the broker
residing in small town, in another state
AS fast as that friend receives mail matter
addressed by dummy names he forwards
1t to the broker, and if a person hiring let
tiers violates his agreement by permitting
somebody else to circularize the names
and addresses the broker will learn the
fact.

WIFE ROBBED HIM
A Burglar Isa4 Quickly Run to

A Case That Interests Residents Near
Sixth Avenue and Sixth
Street South.

A burglary which excited the residents
in the vicinity Of Sixth avenue S and
Sixth street yesterday, was cleared up
by Detectives Gallagher and Balm Of the
headquarters police. When the solution
of the case was reached the man who re-
ported it was anxious to hush matters up.
He had complained that S2s had been
stolen from under his pillow while he was
asleep. An open window showed plainly
how the thief had gained an entrance to
the room, while footprints 'outside the
window showed that the man was a giant
in stature
Within an hour the detectives reported
that they had found the thief but that
the loser would not prosecute. The money
had been taken by his wife.
When the officers questioned the
woman in regard to the robbery, they
thought she acted strangely, and pro-
ceeded to give her the FIRST degree in
the sweat box. She then confessed that
she had taken the money.

How: Letters Written in Reply to
Advertisements Are Sold
and Resold. 81.

New York, July 29.-Dealing in letters is
a trade which in the last few years has
grown to large proportions, tho little about
it is known by the public.
In this city alone are perhaps half q
dozen firms which buy and sell or, rather.
hire out original letters written in reply
to advertisements in newspapers and mag
azines. The advertisers classify each lot
Of letters. In the stockrooms Of one
Broadway letter broker are more than 1000
lots aggregating more than 40,000,o00 let
tiers OF recent dates from people in all
parts Of the world.
. Letters written in reply to an advertise
ment are valuable because anybody deal
ing in the kind of goods advertised can, by
circularizing the writers of such letters,
reach directly people who have sought ex-
actly what he has for sale.
"a The letters are worth all the way from
81 to $3.50 "a thousand. They depreciate
in value each time their writer's are cir
cularized. They also depreciate in value
with age, because, as they grow older
some Of their writer's die, others move
without notifying the postal authorities
and still others lose the desire they had
when they wrote.
Few Of the brokers sell letters: they
prefer to hire them out for envelop ad-
dressing for a specific number of days
Most brokers require lot Of 10000 let
LerS OF less 10 De =Ieluilleu III teI OdyS
the larger lots to be used at the rate OF
1000 a day; thirty days, however, being
the limit even for 250,00O lots.
A ''lot'' usually consists Of anywhere
from j, 900 to 250,000 letters-as many as
have been purchased from any one adj
vertiser at one time. Few brokers will
."split'' a lot. most Of them requiring the
rental Of 'tall or none be,a
to buy in that way.
Among the most valuable letters are
those written by would be investors in
stocks and bonds Such letters have been
known. to- sell for $3.50 a thousand. Other
letters commanding fancy price are
those from people seeking a cure for blood
poisoning and the morphine habit. The
first use for envelop addressing of letters
from morphine sufferers is worth about
$75 a thousand.
Strange to say those letters seeking q
cure for the liquor habit are Of little
value. Brokers rarely get customers fol-
them One shrewd broker volunteered
the opinion the other day that most
drunkardsj like the habit so much thai
they do not want to cure it, and thai
therefore most Of the replies to adver-
tisements Of drunkenness cures are from
drunkards' wives, who, in most cases
have little or no money.
Mems letters are worth more thar
women's letters, because men generally
have more money to spend than women.
h. The brokers usually buy letters direct

addressed. For instance, we will suppose
