stockers and Feeders.

Receipts have been very limited in
this department for some time and
prices have crawled up. to the highest
level of the year. Local traders say
the supply is the smallest it has been
in several years at this season, which
is accounted for by the general scare
ity of cattle in the country. For two
or three weeks receipts have been ex-
ceptionally small. and while the de-
mand is not very broad on account Of
the high prices more cattle could be
sold if they were available. Choice
feeders are at the highest point of the
year and there is strong Indication
that they will sell still higher, espe-
cially if there is any encouragement
in the fat cattle market Country buy
ers who were here this week baked
at the high prices. but there were a
few who were willing to go the limit.
Some extra good feeders sold at 1910,
which is the highest in about year.
Fair to good feeders sold at $3.50
$50. but the number sold was small,
because there were not many on sale.
Killers were after all the good light
steers and were strong competitors
with the feeder buyers. That was one
treason that outsiders had difficulty

HOGS,
Personalities in Milk.

Objections to the use of preserva-
tives in milk were made at a recent
meeting of the British Dairy Farm
ers' Association, says Farm and
Home Iondon), while experiments
conducted at the Durham Dairy Re-
search Station by Mrs. S. H. Collins
show conclusively that the milk may
contain boric acid owing to the pres
eaten by the cows. OF recent years
boric acid has been much used in
cattle foods. especially in cakes made
from Indian cotton foods, such as
linseed cake, decorticated cotton
cake, hay and straw.
The experiment consisted in feed
ing four cows on the same ration,
and giving two of them a small guam
tity Of boric meal, made from nine
teen parts of maize meal and one part
of boric acid. The milk of the cows
was analyzed daily for fortnight
and on the thirteen days on which
boric meal was added to the food OF
the two cows, traces of boric acid
varying from .001 per cent to zoos
per cent were found in their milk
The amount Of boric acid food was
by no means excessive, since 1t only
equalled five pounds Of food contain
ing one per cent Of boric acid, ar
amount which might, as Mr.. Collins
points out, be exceeded in practice
Milk requires at least one fourth
per cent of boric acid to produce any
useful preservative influence. so thai
there would be no difficulty in dis
tinguishing between the cases where
boric acid had been added to milk
and those in which the milk ha6

were maintained at various points by
the railroads, and these agencies made
their holders rich. There was one at
Erie, Pa. and one at Buffalo. to sup
ply the Great Lakes country, and even
if man went down into the anthra-
cite country and tried to buy coal he
was there referred to one of these
agencies. But even the money made
by these was finally begrudged, and 1t
is understood that at least until re-
Gently, and perhaps at the present
time, the selling is all controlled by
the railroads, even to naming the re-
tail price in Kalamazoo and Oshkosh.
1t would probably be safe to offer
prize of a house and lot to anybody
who can find a town in the United
States where any two coal dealers do
not sell anthracite at exactly the same
price.
AT the present time there are still
few Independent operators running
their own mines in the anthracite re-
gion. And there are many mines
owned by the Independents but oper-
ated by the railroads under lease on
royalty basis. But the railroads
have had their medicine prepared to
meet both situations. They have
permitted neither style - ownership
to make any great sum of money. To
do this, they established fiat rate
for coal at the mouth of the mine, to
be paid to all mines, their own in
cluded. This price has never been a
fat one. At one time 1t was as low
as s1.S7 a ton. At the present it is a
little more than 80. Any mine mana
ger who could run a mine under it
and more than pay expenses, had to
be a genius.
Railroads Sustained Losses.
1t has even been the case that some
of the railroad mines We're run at a
loss as mines; but the railroads did not
care. They felt that they could we'll
afford to buy their own coal at s1.S7
and sell it at IS or 81 or IS ton, since
it enabled them to buy all the inde-
pendents' coal for s1.s7 as well. And
what difference did it make whether
the profits were found in the coal cof-
fers or the railroad Golfers at the end
of the year, when both Golfers were
owned by the same bunch.
1t is evident to anybody who gives
any attention to the coal trust that
congress made a fatal blunder when it
failed to apply the trusts own rule to
itself. The railroads should have been
compelled to sell their coal at the mouth
of the mine, as they had SO long COM
PEELED others to do. The law should
have contained no possible hint of COM
pelling them to sell their coal mines.
Nobody cares who mines the coal. But
if compelled to sell it at the mouth of
the mine, and with a decision on the
part of the interstate commerce COM
mission as to what is a reasonable rate,
the consumers of the country could once
more enjoy competition between the
independent operators and the railroad
mines, and buy coal at, something near
what it is worth. 1t is stated that It
would have been a comparatively SIM
pie task to draw the law to accomplish
this and to do it constitutionally. under
the government right to control rail-
roads as common carriers.

Salt in moderate quantities is good
for everybody. 1t aids digestion, and.
better still, it makes one thirsty. If
we eat plenty Of salt and salty foods
we will drink more water, and most
people DO not drink enough water.
Try eating a raw apple sprinkled with
salt. 1t is very good, particularly
good for children. Pepper, on the 9TH

HOLLAND'S BIC Event
Notable Significance Of Birth Of
Heir to Dutch Throne.

I0e aftlvQl OF an heir TO the throne
Of Holland by the birth the other day
of baby girl to Queen Wilhefmina has
brought Joy to the heart Of every patri-
otto Dutchman throughout the world
and has laid the ghost that has haunt
ed not only the homes Of Holland, but
the chancelleries Of Europe-the fear
Of the extinction OF the house Of Or
ange-Nassau. Should this house pass
out Of existence it would mean either
the blotting out Of the kingdom of the
Netherlands as separate entity or
else q return to its seventeenth century
status of commonwealth.
Ordinarily the Dutch succession is
simple enough affair, as there are no
pretenders or claimants to the throne.
But prior to the birth Of the present
heir the question of whether or not
Wilhelmina would leave successor as
a ruler over the Netherlands was one
of grave concern, as her brothers by
King William HIS flrst marriage all
died childless, and there was no pro-
spective heir to the throne up to the
time Of her birth by her fathers Sec
ond marriage. That occasion was one
for great rejoicing throughout the king
dom.
So all Holland is happy over the
event which is to affect its destinies SO
powerfully. Everything was ready for
the arrival Of the expected little stran-
ger at the unpretentious royal palace
at The Hague.
The nursery occupies part of the Sec
ond story Of the palace. comprising six
wide and spacious apartments. besides
| separate rooms for the attendants. The
wing Of the castle has been remodeled
in its entirety. The walls and cell
tDgs OF all the rooms were scraped
and new woodwork, as well as new
floors, heating apparatus and hot and
cold water put in under the queens
own supervision. She devised the
plans from English and American
models, ordering that everything old
fashioned about the nursery be abol-
ished and insisting that she would
have none Of the old time nursery with
its insanitary surroundings.
The only old fashioned things about
the nursery IRE the various cradles,
heirlooms Of the Nassau royal family,
some Of them nearly as large as a
state coach. The queen had them thor.
oughly overhauled, and only their elab-
crate shells remain.
Throughout Holland of late there has
been brisk trade In orange paint, in
red, white and blue ribbons. in flags
and fiagstaffs. In secret many peas.
ants painted their best wooden shoes
orange, putting them aside until the
festive moment, Careful housewives
had the fagstAffs Of their houses new.
" painted and the dags cleaned so that
