result and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condia

1t is we'll known that there is con
siderable risk of introducing new
weeds by the purchase of manure and
hav and other feeding stuffs. E. /.
Oswald. of the Maryland experiment
station, undertook to obtain more def
mite information on this point, espe-
cially as regards dissemination
through manure, by studying the eff
feet of the fermentation of manure
handled in different ways and of pass
ing through the digestive systems of
animals on the vitality of various
seeds, including seeds of about fifty
of the worst weeds found in Maryland
In experiments in which the manure
remained for six months In a barn
yard heap and for a short while in
piles, as when shipped in carload lots
from cities, it was found that in the
first case there was no danger, and
in the second case little danger of dis
tributing live weed seeds.

THE PRICE OF WHALEBONE.
Shrinkage in Weight and Other Causes
Raise It's Value

The assertion that an attempt is be
ing made TO corner the whalebone sup
ply of the world and boost the price to
20 a pound is denied by William j.
Lewis of the ship chandlery firm of
Lewis, Anderson. Foard & Co. of Seat
lie, one of the Lewis brothers of New
Bedford, through whose hands all the
whalebone of the world passes.
There has been no attempt to raise
the price of bone nor will there be such
move" said Mr.. Lewis this morning
The sale of bone last year amounted to
about 100000 pounds and will probably
be the same this year. There has been
no market for bone yet, nor will there be
until this fall. There is on hand at the
storehouses in New Bedford more than
100000 pounds of bone, or enough to sup
ply the market of the world for the next
two years In order to prevent a CON
gestion of the market, the whaling COM
panleS decided not to go TO the expense
of sending out whalers this year and
with one exception the boats are laid
up at San Francisco. The karluk went
TO the Arctic on private venture. but
her owners should be the last TO object
to the price of bone being placed at So,
for the higher the figure the more their
bone can demand.
"A price of 50 a pound for bone does
not mean the ordinary whalebone de
livered at Nome. 1t means So pound
III Paris for the prize bone. which is
twice as much as it is worth here. There
is Il big Shrinkage in the weight of
whalebone amounting TO > to 10 per cent.
from Nome here. 10 TO 20 per cent. from
Seattle to New Bedford and TO 10 per
cent from New Bedford to Paris, max
ing shrinkage in value of from 81 TO
$3.50 pound. The bone here is worth
from so cents for common to $3.50 a
pound for the prize bone, measuring from
II to IA feet in length.-Seattle Times

Some Of the old-time dairymen are
coming around to the belief that red
clover such as was grown around Den
yer twenty-five or thirty years ago, Is
better forage for the production of
milk than is alfalfa as grown nova
days Certain it is that we are not
now getting the quality of milk that
was produced a quarter of century
ago, when nearly everybody had
little patch of clover. 1t was quite
natural, however, that we should have
exchanged the old friend for the new,
for the reason that red clover is bien-
NAL in it's habit Of growth and under
the most ideal conditions will not fur
nish more than two cuttings of hay
in a season. On the other hand, al
falfa is a perennial plant, and when
once established will continue to pro-
duce four and frequently five crops
in season for several years in sue
cession, and this is why our dairymen
have chung to it through all these
years like a pup to a root. We are
10th to concede that red clover is the
better forage in the production of
milk, but it does look that way, and
we know farmers in different parts
of the State who are taking up its
culture quite eXtensiyely.-De

A Fruit Tree Doctor Fake.

The latest fake practiced on farm
ers is done by a man who visits the
place and claims that he has been
sent out by the State to examine fruit
tree diseases, says an exchange. The
fellow will go over the orchard and
mark all trees which he claims are af-
fected. Shortly after his visit con-
federate will appear and say that he
has preparation which will cure the
disease for which the tree is con-
demned and Will contract to inject a
fluid into the roots for a certain price
Both men are swindlers and should be
run of the place with shotgun. The
only men empowered to inspect orch
ards are the county inspectors. who
are known TO most fruit growers.
