New York. Jan. s0.--Just which ship was responsible for the Nantucket collision in which the White Star liner Republic and the Italian liner Florida figured and which company shall pay the damages will be decided by the the court of admiralty
 Both companies filed suits Thursday. That of the owners of the Republic claimed damages of S2,000,00o and re- cited in legal form the story of the marvellous sea disaster. The blame for the collision was placed on the Florida. The owners of the Florida also filed libel and petition for . limitation of liability against the Florida. The petitioners asked that their liability, in case the suits are decided against them, be placed at s224 900, the damage value of the Florida
 Later the Florida's owners obtained an order from Judge Adams in United States circuit court staying all suits for damages on the ground that their petition for limitation of liability had been filed ahead of the oceanic steam. shir navigation company'S suit. The Florida owners allege the collision was due to the neglect of the Re public's officers.

NEW YORK.

Irregularity still characterizes the
trade, crop n industrial situation.
In industrial lines the consensus of
reports is that further improvement
has been registered, especially in the
iron and steel, coal, coke, wooden man
ufacturing and leather trades. Build
ing is active and lines of trade cater
ing to this industry are feeling bene-
fetal effects.
1t is a between-season period in
wholesale and jobbing distributive
ly of a f%illing-in character and hardly
equal to expectations. The tone of
opinion as to the outlook for fall
trade Is as a whole rather more opti-
mistic, but the evidences of repres-
sion in trade, whether due to tariff and
crop uncertainty, reduced purchasing
power of the public or high prices for
foodstuffs, are too evident to be ig-
nored.
Manufacturers of wooden goods are
buying freely Of raw material at Bos-
ton, and sales of new domestic clip
wool to arrive have aggregated TO-
900 pounds. London sale prices are
reported to have been advanced, and
his is reflected in large dealings in
foreign WOOL.

the amount of food that should be

The foods that are generally fed are
hay, grass, corn, oats, barley, rye,
bran, carrots, turnips and apples. or
the grains oats is best, with corn sec.
ond, but both are improved if fed in a
crushed state. Oats build up the mus

of the price, oats are not generally
used, and in such cases care must be
AIKEN that the hay given is rather
rich in protein.
Corn and timothy hay are of a heat
ing nature and hard on the digestion,
causing the animal to perspire free
ly. If corr is literally used, some
bran, with clover or some well-cured
pea-vine hay, or clover with corn, will
help balance up the ration and keep
the digestive organs in a healthy state.
In feeding green food care must be
taken.

Actual improvement and the gen.
eral trend of business affairs now con.
firm the hopeful return of better
times. Some increase in trading de-
faults is due to a special cause and
lacks significance in view Of the sus-
tanned high aggregate of solvent pay
mentS through the banks Weather
conditions favor enterprise in both iu-
dustrial and agricultural operations,
and the promise improves for larger
crops and increasing outputs of the
manufactures.
Notable demands appear in the iron
working branches, large tonnage be-
ing closed for pig iron, rails. struc-
tural steel and wire, While there is
gratifying revival in the bookings of
railway equipment, power, machinery
II minor metals.
Idle capacity is seen to be under
going further reduction in various
branches, and mere hands find steady
work at the car shops and factories.
The mills and forgCs in the Calumet
district appear almost as busy as ever,
new structures and production make
rapid gains at Gary and largo au.
ditions to the Pullman works are
planned.
New enterprise is noted in rnc
plans for additions to factories and
mercantile structures, which again oc.
cupy attention., and estimating depart
ments figure more actively upon track
extension. elevation and bridges. Con.
templated local betterments involve
the use of enormous quantities of
steel shapes, quarry products nj
timber, while the building trades are
now settled INTO a remarkably pros
porous season.

Breeding Up Stock.

A Western stock breeder advises
farmers to breed up stock rather than
buy all pure-breds. He says that to
establish a herd of pure-breds- costs
more money than the average farmer
can afford, when the progeny is to be
sold to the packers or the butchers.
females of pure-bred beef stock
bring high prices, and the farmer
would need a considerable number to
make a good start. But with a pure
bred bull he can in a few years have
a herd of COWS that will make it pos
sible to market beeves of high grade.

Sheep.

1t is always advisable in feeding
sheep not to feed too much corn. Clo-
yer, hay and corn in equal parts, by
weight, should be given during the fat
tening period. Except for fattening
purpose It is better not to feed sheep
on corn at all. Corn is said to contain
about 60 per cent of starch and 6 per
cent Of oil, both being very digestible.
Oil makes fat and the starch produces
and also fat. On account OF it's
heat-producing power it is inadvisable
to feed corn. Because of there not be-
ing any great quantity of protein in
corn it is necessary to feed something
else with it-either clover or alfalfa.

Take Care Of the Orchard.

Now and then we hear OF farmers
with an apple orchard who cannot see
that it will pay them to take good
care of it, says the Rural New York
er. In one case a farmer sold apples
enough from his orchard to buy him
ten good COWS for his dairy, yet he
cannot see that it would pay him to
spray and. prune the trees. There is
some scale in this orchard, and the
fruit Is usually wormy. Taken in hand
with oil and later with arsenic
for the Cooling worm this orchard
would give the easiest money on the
farm. We would like to shake such
up and let them see the future.
The demand for good apples is sure to
increase, while bearing trees are not
keeping pace with the demand. Young
trees are being planted, while many
orchards are dying through lack of
Do not, under any circumstances,
neglect good apple trees. Stay by

suit Of his feed, the horse loses o
half the grain by reason OF the tact
that it is thrown over the top OF the
bag.
The nose bag shown in the accom-
panying cut is Of recent invention n
is designed to overcome this trouble.
The feed supply is contained in a res
ervoir which is secured to the bride
and is suspended between the animals
eyes. The feed flows down of it's own
weight into a saucer-like receptacle
which is held under the animal's
mouth. The feed is always in reach
and there is no occasion for the pain

Hauling Farm Produce.

It is said that a Pennsylvania farm
er does not average mor than one ton
of marketing to two horses, and he
must send one mar with every two
horses. English and Scotch farmers
generally put two tons of marketing
on a one-horse cart, and place two Of
those carts in charge Of one driver.
The driver ties one of these carts be-
hind the other and walks alongside of
the first one. Thus we have a foreign
farmer doing with n man and two
horses the work an American farmer
takes four men and eight horses to do.
