CHICAGO,

Business conditions assume more
strength and the final action upon tar
if revision imparts %buoyancy to vari-
Gus important branches. The latter is
reflected by further accumulation of
new demands and increasing use of
money. The discount rate is firmly
sustained at the recent advance. Au-
gust payments of interest and divi-
dends will involve heavy settlements
at the banks, making a substantial
drain upon funds, which are already
notably drawn upon by the interior
for ~crop-moving purposes.
Security markets are seen to be adj
vancing, but the week records, for the
first time in a long period, a simulta-
col decline in values OF primary
breadstufs and provisions.
Growing crops are exceptionally IA
vored and larger movements appear in
grain, factory outputs, general mer-
chandise and mine and forest prod
ucts. Official returns testify to heavy
movements of commodities by the
lakes and earnings Of the Chicago
steam roads show sustained gains.
All the mills at South Chicago, ex-
cept one under repair, are running
full, while preparations, are made for
larger use of equipment and labor IL
transportation. Contracts come for
ward freely in iron and steel, cars,
power, structural materials, lumber
| and leather. Prices of the raw mate
rails maintain tirmness, although re-
ceipts to some extent run well over
those of a year ago. The electric
trades now obtain considerable for
ward work, thus encouraging free buy
ing OF supplies. Furniture-maAlnS
shows steady recovery.
There is satisfactory absorption or
tanned product for the shoe-shops, belt
ing and novelties. Building opera
tions remain steady, causing sustained
demand for planning mill outputs n
sanitary supplies. Retail trade here
is benefited by the high temperatures,
and many visiting buyers attend the
wholesale markets.

Danger in Eye POUitices.

hours must damage that eye, the as

Rggravate an existing trouble by bind
ing a moist application owe an in
famed eye, which application is sup

can only be explained by the suppo"
sition that a guardian angel has
watched over that misguided case and
has displaced the poultice before 1t

A CONTAGIOUS Idea.

Imitation may be a nuisance rather
than a form of fiattery. A writer in
the Outlook tells of an incident in a
bank which is as amusing as it Is
probable. The teller was asked by a
woman for a new envelope for her
handbook. 1t was passed out, and
the lady behind, noting hat her own
envelope was a trife dingy, also asked
for a fresh one.
The third woma said, Me, too," or
words to that effect, and so it went
down the line. When the teller's pa

threatened to give out. he determined
to call a halt.

Corn Fr.ttcrs.

Take twelve small ears of corn, free
them from all silk, cut the grains
down the center, and scrape all the
corn and milk off the cob; add two
tablespoonfuls Of flour, two eggs well
beaten, pepper and salt to taste, and
mix the whole we'll together. Put a
tablespoon of this mixture at a time
in a frying pan with hot lard or but
ter; when brown, turn them and serve
them hot. If the corn is large it will
require three eggs; if very milky, a
little extra -four. 1t should be thicker
than pancake batter; a hot fire will
cook them in five minutes. They are
excellent for breakfast, and may be
mixed the night before. If wanted
for dessert put in sugar instead of salt
and pepper, and serve with your ia
vorite sauce.

wire screen on a strainer should be
replaced as soon as it becomes broken
or rusted. The only satisfactory way
to clean the screen Of a strainer is
with a small, stiff brush. The best
kind of a strainer is one with the
screen on the sides, rather than on
the bottom. for then there Is no I'M
due pressure. which sometimes forces
small particles of dirt through the

Commercial Egg Farm.
The production OF market eggs is
probably the safest branch Of the poul.
try business, and The amount of CAPT.
tai invested need not be very large
IN the New England States. New York
and New Jersey there are lar com.
mercial egg farms, keeping from 500
to several thousand hens. The farm
ers, too, in this section OF the country
keep large fiocks for eggs for the East
ern markets. and all seem to be do
ing well and making money. What
we need in the South is more egg
farms. Lands are cheap. material for
housing and labor cheap. and, again,
it is not necessary in the South to
build such expensive houses. We have
every advantage in the Southland for
producing eggs at a less cost than u
Northern brothers, and with quick and
satisfactory railroad facilities to the
Eastern markets tho South should be-
come the greatest poultry producing
section of the entire country.
Other branches Of the poultry indus
try may "a better han egg farming,
but none are attended with SO little
steady returns and a fair
ton for the time and money expended.
Early Flowing Always Best.
Last summer wo got a field Of wheat
stubble about half plowed when other
work called us away The remaining
| stubble was turned under early this
spring, and the whole field planted to
| corn. The corn on last summers plow-
ing is now several inches taller than
that on the land plowed this spring.
| and is ranker and better in every
other way.
There is q difference between sum-
mer and fall blowing, the difference be-
ing in favor of the summer blowing.
Turning a green growth into the soil
seems to be very much better than
turning an equal growth under, but
waiting until it has matured and dried
before doing it. Here on this farm
we aim to do all the blowing possible
this 1t may be hot work but
the days are long and one does not
need to hurry the teams. Not only is
it better to get the work done as soon
as possible for any crop to be sown
this fall, but u experience proves to
us that the earlier the better if corn
is to be the next crop.-Farmer's Mail
