Odd Method of Tree Grating
from the Pacific Fruit World.

From the Pacific Fruit Worlo.
Some owners of forests of valuable woods
are trying experiments in the southern part
of Mexico with the walnut trees 1t Is not
generally known outside the trade that
there are many kinds of walnut woods and
that only part of them have SO far been
considered valuable from a commercial
point OF view. Now the scheme is to make
these less valuable or worthless walnuts
commercially valuable. And the process is
a curious one.
It consists of opening the roots OF the
trees and Inserting one or more nuts. which
are quite small, from the best varieties OF
walnut trees. It is said that these nuts.
which are carefully sealed In with wax or
Stiff waterproof stopper. impart a new or
closer grain and coloring to the tree
The southern Indians of Mexico have for
centuries been In the habit of securing Curl
Gus effects In coloring on fine woods by In
sorting In the above manner nuts OF other
trees into the roots of the living trees. An
enterprising planter in Tabasco has been
following out this Indian idea with curious
results. He mentioned this to other ha-
ciendados. and now several of them are
experimenting with the coarser kinds OF
walnut trees with encouraging results.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, June 18--Aieneral rains
throughout Kansas caused weakness today
In the local wheat market. There was heavy
profit, taking at the start. and initial quo
tations showed sharp declines Buying by
commission houses soon caused a somewhat
steadier feeling. July opened q to * lower,
at S21x to S3. and for time held around
S2M.
Heavy realizing sales sent July corn Off
to 52h.
On improved weather conditions July oats
declined to 4ON.
September provisions opened steady, pork
at 1880. lard at 9.073a and ribs at 9.35.
For July wheat the lowest point of the
day was reached at SON During the last
half OF the session several rallies occurred
on covering by shorts On one of these
upturns the July option sold up to 1874 A
liberal decrease in the visible supply was a
builish factor late in the day. The market
closed steady, with July down %ak, at sega

Proft-taking continued throughout the
entire day and the corn feeling was heavy
the greater part of the session. The close
was easy, with July down Ia, at 52N.

Profit in Young Pigs.
From Outdoors.

.
For the city family settling in the coun-
try, 1t is much more profitable to buy
young pigs than an old SOW. who would
REQUIRE intelligent feeding and handling be-
fore and after farrowing.s Moreover, an
inexperienced person cannot be expected to
Judge build and disposition OF strange
animal, and pigs, like mules, become dan
gerously vicious II roughly handled when
young; SO It pays to gain experience with
young ones, who win become attached to
the person In charge OF them before they
have strength to cause trouble.
Young pigs of six weeks old can usually
be bought for six dollars a pair, and will
cost little to feed until November, at which
time they viii make better pork and bacon
for family use than older, coarser ami
mails.
II obtainable in the nefghborhood, 1t Is
advisable to select small white pigs.
The sty must be well drained with feed
ing and sleeping compartments six feet
square. The floor OF the sleeping compart-
ment should be at least half foot higher
than the outer one and rooted. The outer
per- should slope slightly. and be provided
with troughs for feed and water. Don't
grudge the plggies good. clean bed twice
q week; for. contrary to general suppose
tion, they like cleanliness and comfort.
Next, disabuse your mind OF the foolish
idea that any greasy slops are good food
for pigs. Remember. they are eventually
consumed by human beings, and the food
they eat must affect quality ana flavor.

Millionaires Of Long Ago.
From the Omaha world-Herald.

From the Omaha World Herald.
While 1t is not very tangible consola-
ton to those of US who belong to the less
favored class commercially, there is at
least sort Of historic comfort in know
ing that the phenomenon o. mammoth
fortunes is not a new thing. A magazine
writer goes back to ancient Rome. when
there were no railroads or. trusts or cor
porattons. and gives some figures on the
individual fortunes Of that day which
might look attractive even to some of
our modern plutocrats.
Seneca, the philosopher and author. was
worth $17.500.000; Lentulus, the augur,
S16,000.000: Crassus, the politician who
formed with Caesar and Pompey the first
triumvirate. had landed estate Of more
than $4,000, 900: the Emperor Tfberius left
a fortune Of $118,0oO, 900. which the de-
PRAYED Caffgula got rid Of in less than q
year. A dozen others had possessions
that ran into the millions.
It Is true that these Romans did not
make" these fortunes in what we would
call regular commercial operations. But
they got the money, and they held on to
1t. which is about all that can safely be
said of possessions that run into seven
figures in any age or country.
And speaking of campaign contribu-
lions and SO forth. Julius Caesar once
presented the Consul Paulus with $780,
900 merely as a token of esteem and
coupled with the hope that Paulus would
do the right thing in certain political
matter that was pending. The argument
was effective with Paulus, and neither
he nor Caesar suffered any in popularity.

Great Northern quoted as far above

point is that managers of great
properties have committed them
selves. by the increase Of their diyi-
dends, 70 the assumption that pres
ent earnings are going to be perma-
nent. They have been slow and
but in the face of the
assured growth of the national
business volume in the coming wear
it has seemed impossible for them
longer to resist the pressure.
1t is a large responsibility that
the managers of industry have as
sumed. If it should develop that
they have miscalculated. that they
have pushed up the dividend basis
beyond the point where it can safely
be maintained, there viii be a re-
action sooner or later. But IL cam
not be said that in present condi-
tions there is anything but augury
for the permanence of the new
basis of values and returns.
