Oil and Gas Notes.

The Market-On Thursday of last
week. the 29th, the Standard made
another cut of cents in the price OF
crude, and it is $3.50.
The cut is supposed to be due to the
near completion of the great, trunk
pipe-lipe from the Texas and Kansas
fields TO the Eastern refineries.
Campbell Bros. of Butler have struck
a hundred foot we'll on the Brown farm,
part of the Pine tract at Oneida, which
is doing 10 barrels day

dozen oil wells and one gas well
change hands in the transaction. This
property is one of the most famous pro

Ter county, several of the wells being
nearly quarter of a century old.
Kansas Thirty years ago the grass
hoppers invaded the West and the
Senate appropriated $50, 900 to buy seed
wheat for the sufferers. Kansas was
one of the States that was looked upon
as ruined at that time. So far as known
no grasshoppers have as yet threatened
to eat up her surplus supply OF oil,
which she is about to send into the
Eastern markets as soon as the big pipe
line to the refneries at Whiting, ludi-
ana, has been completed.

ALLYN WHITE LEATHER.
Beautiful Things Made of White Calf
 skin With New Style Finish.

A window full of pretty things for women's use-card cases, pocketbooks and little handbags-all in a soft and beautiful white leather, so attracted the eye of a passerby that he went in and inquired about them, says the New York Sun. Was it something new, this white leather of which these things were made?
 And the salesman said that white leather for such uses was not new, that such things had been made up in white calfskin for years; but that this particular white leather was new in that it was calfskin finished with d monkey skin grain.
 And these articles in the beautiful white leather. including not alone such things as card cases, but also prayer books bound in it, and weddings books were brought out now because they were appropriate to the Easter season.
 Costly? Why. not nearly so much so as one might imagine. A card case in this white leather costs s5 or S6. and q pocketbook a little more. For the small handbags, in which might be car rieo card case. apurse and a handker- chief, from S12 to s15 is asked.
 The wedding books. These are about the size of printed volume, but thin ner, because fewer leaves are required; they are bound in the white leather, and the leaves are of parchment. This book contains, printed on the parch- ment leaves with illuminated lettering the complete marriage service as use-l by the minister. and the marriage cer- tihcate to be signed; and it contains also pages for the names of those as- sisting at the wedding and of the ushers and the witnesses and of the wedding guests.
 These books cost from $6 for a book with silver mountings up to $50. for one with gold mountings and with a mono- gram of gold.

 ''I will repeat here what I have said before, that as good butter can be made under the cream gathering system as under the whole-milk system, but in order to do this the conditions must be right. There mast be more frequent delivery of cream, so as to insure it's

If the cream from all the patrons is to be dumped into one common can during collection, then the man who receives it must be in the same position as the maker to reject that which is unfit. It would be sti'I better if we could have individual cans for each patron"
 MT. McFeeters made a statement on this point, based on h,s experience as creamery inspector in western Ontario during the past summer. 'It has been suggested" he said that the instruct? :? ocs try to meet those who haul the cream, at the beginning of next season Tor the purpose of educating theic sense of taste and smell so that they will be in position to reject contribu- lions which are not un to the mark I have, he continued, been spoken of as crank in the matter of the B1b- cock test, but I believe the Babcoc k would be much more satisfactory than; the oil test in the case of eream-gath- ering factories. With the oil test I find that patrons deliberately try to ripen their cream at home, because sample taken from the ripened cream will give more liberal reading with the oil test than will sweet cream. On the other hand the Babcock test will give a rather better reading if the cream is sweet. For this reason, if none o 'he-, l approve of the Bahcock test as a basis of payment for cream supplied to cream-gathering factories"
