Probably no fat is produced equal
to butter in digestibility or so health
full from a sanitary viewpoint. The
mich COWS credited to the United
States by the census of the present
year total ~20,96S,265, of which
New York leads with 1,S26,211, To-
wa second with 1,555,3OO and Wis
consin third with 1,365,OOO. Him
ois, Pennsylvania and Minnesota
each are credited upward of 1.0OO.-
900 milch cows. The annual produc-
ton Of butter aggregates 1,500,0O0,-
900 pounds and milk production q
275,0OO,0OO gallons.
Much speculation is INDUCED in
why butter commands such high
prices. At wholesale, creamery but
ter is selling around 25 cents and at
retail at 80 cents and upward. One
cause of the high stationary price
of butter is the increased cost of
production and enlarged consump-
ton since the law went into effect
prohibiting the manufacture and
sale elimination food articles.

Omaha Market Letter.

South Omaha receipts for week

same week last year, 1885.
Cattle There was a decrease of full
ly 5000 cattle as compared with the
week previous and the tone to the
trade showed considerable improve
ment although the improvement in
prices was not SO marked. Corn-fed
beeves, are selling perhaps a shade
better than at the close of last week
and there has been an advance of
probably 10 to 15c in cows and
heifers. Most of the weakness that
characterized the trade the first of
the week DISAPPEARED and the tone at
the close was healthy and strong.
Western rangers also showed up
stronger toward the close but prices
are about soc lower than ten days
lago. Good corn-fed COWS and heif-
ers are still in vigorous demand but
Gamers are still slow and unsatis-
factory sellers. Bulls, stays, etc.,
are also quite a little lower for the
week. In stockers and feeders the
demand has Been very good and the

What the Clay Turpentinc Cup is
Doing.

Twenty million turpentine cups
r used in the pine forests Of the
south to catch the bow of resin
from the tres, and seven
or eight million are added each year.
These simple looking cups, which
are not unlike flower pots in size,
indicate that a rapid and highly i'm
portant change in the American
method of gathering turpentine, due
to the need Of economy in using all
forest products and to the applica.
ton of science in an ol%d-fashioned
industry.
The old plan of cutting deep box
es in the trees, in which turpentine
collected after running down the sac
rificed trunks, was universal until a
few years ago. 1t was wasteful and
destructive. Trees so mutilated only
survived about four years. They
might continue to live, and they us.
ually did not fall for years, but
their value as turpentine producers
was at an end, and their value for
lumber was seriously lessened.
The cup and gutter were devised
to take the place of the old waste
full method. No box is needed, and
the trunk is left strong and but
little injured. Small galvanized
iron cutters, attached in a simple
yet secure manner to the tree, lead
the turpentine from the sacrificed
wood to the cup. The amount thus
collected is greater than by the old
method, 1t is of superior quality,
and it com>nands a higher price.
Further than this, the tree thus op-
Grated upon ID productive about
eaght years. instead OF four as UNI
der the old method, and produces
more each year. In other words, one
during its protective period gives
more than the former yield OF two.

New York. March 7.-An unverified
report that heavy holdings of Reading
and New Jersey Central stock had
passed under Hartman control, which
gained wide circulation during the
day, resulted in a sharp upward turn
in Reading. According to the report
the big block of stock which changed
hands represented the H. c. Frick In

story could not be verified, but de-
spite this the quotations of Reading
were marked steadily upward as the

points from the low point of the day.
Other stocks which had been moving
feverishly during the day, nearly all
of them with pronounced dowoward

Attacks Validity of Chicago and Alton
Bonds.
Washington, March 7.-Offic1al steps
have been taken by the state of Illi-
nois to attack the validity of $32,000,-
900 of Alton railroad bonds issued by
e. Fl. Hartman and his associates
when they reorganized the Chicago
and Alton Railroad company. The in
terstate commerce commission has
received an application from William
H. Stead, attorney general of the state
of Illinois, asking for a complete
transcript Of all testimony taken by
the interstate commerce commission
in it's hearing at New York regarding
the Chicago and Alton railroad.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has begun to comply with the re-
quest Of the attorney general Of Illi-
nois, which was made, it appears, un-
der the special direction of Governor
Deneen. There is an immense amount
of testimony to be Transcribed and
pages upon pages of shorthand notes
will have to be put into typewriter
form. When that is done the book of
testimony will be transmitted to the
Illinois authorities and it will be up to
them to determine whether or not the
testimony justifies proceedings to de-
clare void the whole issue.
