ONE EFFECT OF HIGH PRICES.

Every farmer rejoices to see the
prices at which his products are sold
attain high level. There is a point,
however, at which there is danger of
reaction and curtailment of demand.
This was recently illustrated in Sc
attic in the case of local ranch eggs.
Concerning another line of products
Farmers Advocate has this to say:
The creameries are complaining
that the high price of butter at retail
is cutting off the cOnsumptive demand
aud that all over the country there
are surplus stocks accommodating while
two weeks ago on a lower market of a
few cents the supply was not equal
to the demand. The creameries are
not to be blamed for this condition.
The law of supply and demand regu-
lates the selling price of butter by
the creamery and this same law gov
ems the price the creamery pays the
farmer for the raw material.
The point at which the consumer is
pinched is after the butter gets out of
the hands of the creamery, and for
this condition there is no remedy
When a dealer has bought cOmmod-
ity he has the unquestioned privilege
of selling it at any price he may ask
or can get.
So far as the farmer is concerned
it is not good that the prices for his
product get so high that consumption
is curtailed. 1t is better that the con-
sumptive demand be active and con-
sumers everywhere eating the product
of the farm than that higher prices
should prevail and the demand be
limited. While the farmer is urging
higher prices he must be careful that
his demands are such that consump-
ton is not materially decreased
The New York Produce Review
points out another line of danger from
too high prices when it says:
One day prominent receiver of
butter had a pound print of butterine,
or oleo, at his store to show to the
trade the quality of the goods that
are now being sold in some of our
retail stores. Everyone who saw it
pronounced the quality fine, and an
unusually good imitation of butter.
was not fortunate enough to see this
sample, SO I determined to investigate
the matter personally, and here are
the results:
For the entire outfit | paid 22c-
this is the retail price, and it includes
the coloring matter In some ways
it is dangerous competitor. | do not
mean by this that really fancy butter
will ever be displaced from the mar
ket, buts the oleo that is now sold is
certainly better than a great deal of
the creamery that has been received
here during the past two months, and
as the prejudice against it wears off
with the masses of people, as it surely
will in time, it will have increasing
sale. Personally l want genuine but
ter, but the difference in price will
give oleo an important place in this
and other cities.
| know of no way of meeting this
competition quite so effectually as to
raise the quality of the butter prod
uct, and increase the quantity so that
prices to the consumers shall not
reach the extreme figures that have
ruled for year or two past. The

We give this week a picture of Col
antha 4th's Johanna, Wisconsin
Holstein COW, which has broken all
butter records. In the year closing
January 1, 1908, she produced 99S.26
pounds of butter fat, which had an
actual butter value of 1,247.S2 pounds.
the butter had been sold for 80 cents
per pound the cow would have yield
ed her owner over $3.50 in the year.
Her performance means over 100
pounds of butter fat per month, or
more than three pounds per day. The
test was made at the Wisconsin sta
ton, by reliable men, and is correct.
She also made fine 4-year-old rec
ord of 19,9093 pounds of milk and
808.14 pounds of butter.
1t is no accident that this COW made
such a great record, for her owner
and breeder, Mr.. w. J. Gillett, of Fond

The cars are raised to the surface with
electric hoists and hurried away on
another electric road to the stamp
mills, the breakers or the smelters.
In nearly every mine water causes
the most trouble and the problem to
keep the underground workings dry
is a very serious one. Mines that can
not be drained by tunneling have to be
pumped dry. The new automatic CEN
trifugal pump driven by an electric
motor works automatically to keep the
mines free from water. Whenever
the water rises to a certain level it
starts the motor and the pump removes
the surplus until it drops below the
point where the power is shut off auto
matically.
Most of the large mines in this coun-
try are now thoroughly lighted with
incandescent lamps.
In Mexico and other Central and
South American countries, where fuel
is very scarce, the water power of the
mountains has been harnessed to cleo
trio generators and the power is trans
mitted to the mines. Mining in these
coal-less countries would be practi-
cally impossible without the aid of
electricity developed from water pow

NEWS, VIEWS AND GOSSIP 1
OF NEW YORK. (
(By Glenn Guernsey I

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-Ali New
York is going to "The Devil" Not that
we are becoming wicked or immoral.
Oh, nun-no,i nun-no. Neither has
there been any great increase in the
mortality rate. 1.-THE Devil" as you
may have learned. is a drammer-
rather TWO of them, with two devils.
With a pair of theatrical managers
producing The Devil simultaneously.
with both claiming the orthodox YER
sion, New York is certainly having
we'll hot time, thank you.
Next week the Satanic invasion is
to have an addition in the person of
an alluring sfe-d devil. Miss Gertrude
Hoffman, who is now doing a "Salome'
dance in a yard of mosquito netting,
two wash pans and a smile, is to pre-
sent the feminine conception of the
Evile One and promises that it will be
a warm number, as is fitting.
1t may be said in behalf of Mr. Me-
Dhistopheles that he is the most en-
gaging character that has been seen in
New York theater in many moons.
And this goes as it lays, whether ap
piled to the cynically devilish Mr.. Ar
liss at Fiskes theater, Or to Mr.. Stew
ems, the devil of Mr. Savage's produc-
ton. Choice between the rival devils is
a matter OF taste. but the Fiske Beel-
zebub, although not so Savage, has
more fire
OF course "The Devil" is an Euro
rean importation, and not a home
grown product. No American play,
wright, hemmed in by the stupid con-
vention that Good, with capital G,
must always triumph in the last act,
could hope to produce anything so al
l,ring and ingenious as has Ference
Molnar, the Hungarian journalist, who
conceived "The Devil"
THERE isn't anything strikingly orig
inal in the plot 1.-THE Devil is a
devil of a play, and not much more.
There is 4 young woman, the wife of
a banker. who doesn't understand the
peculiar needs of her sensitive nature,
and a. young artist, once the lady's
lover, who is afflicted with an artistic
temperament. Given these three char
acters, and the finish is almost in sight
But not quite While the artist and
the lady are mutually aware that their
youthful love is not dead, but only
sleeping. they are not yet lost to the
