MOON FIXES CRAB PRICES.

Connection Between lts Phases and
the Crustaeeans.
"The prices of soft-shell crabs are
governed by the phases of the moon,'i
said Hiram Beecher of Annapolis.
"The sloughing season of the crab
Is after the dark of the moon, increas-
ing as the moon nears its full-operat-
ed upon by the unvarying law of sup.
ply and demand, as the supply be-
comes more abundant at the moons
full, prices after drop to 10 or Is cents
a dozen, while at other seasons the
fancy prices of from 60 to 80 cents are
received. 1t is only at the season of
shedding its old for a new garment
that the crab grows and develops from
the small crab at the opening of the
season to the 'channeled' at its close.
A grassy shore or fiat is the favorite
resort for the sloughers, for there, to
great extent. they are out of the way
of their inveterate enemies, eels"-

Rapid City. S. D., June 80. - Jerry
Carleton, chief deputy United States
marshal of this state, Is driving
throughout the cattle district east and
north Of this place for the purpose Of
meeting the large cattlemen who have
been fencing up the range for the last
few years. The report sent out from
Sioux Falls to the effect that cattle.
men of Western South Dakota had
been or were about to be arrested is
not true. Mr.. Carleton states that the
government will not be severe with
the cattlemen for the reason that 1t
has been a common practice for many
years back. They first will be warned,
and If they then refuse to comply, ar
rests may follow. The range thus
fenced only lately has become valua-

Time and Setting Hens.

An enterprising salesman from ono

rural community and endeavored to
sell an incubator to farmer. His ar

on the agriculturist. Finally, as
clincher in favor of his up-to-date i'm

The farmer squirted a mouthful of
tobacco juice on the ground before re-

calmness:

That settled the question. No incu.

Profits Of the Packers.

There has been a great deal of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent Of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt. however, that the report is cor
vect.
The census reports compiled by tho
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted ON
a smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin Of profit of S71 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in tho census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business The gross
margin of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
uess
The millers have not been accused
OF being in a trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible in bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it ap,
pears that the gross profits of the mill.
ers are larger than the gre profits
OF the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
Industry will show the same result as

Waterbury Party Met With Disaster.

Waterbury Party Met With Disaster on
 Broadway and Lady Jumped
 Yesterday morning at :15 o'clock a big touring Rambler automobile caught on fire in front of Harry Andrews meat market on Broadway. The machine is owned by J. R. Hughes, of Waterbury, and was occupied by MT. Hughes, two other gentlemen and lady. The party left Waterbury early yesterday morn- ing and were en route. to New London.
 When it was discovered that the ma- chine was on fire and as MT Hughes was slowing it up the lady. became frightened and jumped out, but escaped injury beyond a few slight scratches. The machine was quickly enveloped in smoke and large crowd of people gathered about it. Some one notified the members of No. 3s engine house. which is near by, and then went to the scene.
 It was found that the gasoline pipe leaked and that this had set fire to the box around it. Some chemicals extin- guished the blaze and the car was then taken to Campbell's garage for repairs. The party stayed in this city all day, and after visiting Savin Rock returned to Waterbury last evening.
