PAYING LESS FOR
MEAT; KNOW IT?
Reduction of 21a Cents Per
Pound on Choice Cuts in
Rock Island.
PORK CHOPS ARE NOW 15c
Gut in Price Made Before Announce
ment by Packers-Turkey
More Plentiful.

Today the consumers of meat in
Rock Island are paying at least two
and one-half cents less per pound for
choice cuts than they were paying 10
days ago. This fall in prices occurred
shortly before the announcement,
which brought joy to all housekeepers
was made by the representatives of
large packing houses throughout the
country. This is not only the case
in the pork market, but in other lines
as well. Choice chops are undoubted-
ly cheaper than they were few days
ago. Then they sold for II and IS
cents; now one pays 10 cents for
them. Other cuts of pork, which sold
for II cents, has dropped down to 1919
cents, and ham has been cut cents
J. w. Tremann of the firm of H.
Tremann's Sons, stated this morning
in an interview with an Argus report
er, that the prices on meats dropped
just previous TO the announcement
made by the packers and that since
that time people had expected further
reductions, but until they were made
TO the retail dealer, they would not be
forthcoming. As long as the market
supply is kept up TO demand by the
farmer and stockmen, the prices of
meats will continue to drop till they
attain their proper level.
Turkeys Are Plentiful.
Seeing that turkey day is less

Cure For Chicken Pox.

Chicken pox. which is a very infec-
uous disease, usually appears among
the younger chicks first, later spread
ing TO the older ones.
When the first symptoms are discov-
cred among the flock the first thing
TO do is to provide separate house
for those chickens affected-in other
words, TO isolate them. Then disin-
feet the henhouse from which they
have been taken thoroughly with coal
tar, after which dIsinfect the house
which they have been put into. 1t is
necessary TO use the disinfectant upon
the fowls as well as upon the house.
Wash the head and face OF each one
with strong sOapsuds made by using
soft water and carbOlic soap. DO a
thorough job so as TO soften the scabs
on the face. After this anoint the head
and face with carbolized vaseline.
Feed the whole flock mash in which
a teaspoonful OF epson salts has been
dissolved for each six hens in the flock
and repeat this dose once week as
long as the disease appears in the
flock. Fowls which have been infected

ton has been made. but as fast as IL
appears take the sick fowls from the

and hopper. The cords are attached
TO the lid Of the manger and to the
perch, running over pulleys fastened
near the roof as SHOWN in the nlustra-
ton. The perch Is fastened on two
crossbars pivoted TO the ends Of the

bars are weighted so as to close the

ADVANTAGES OF THE HOPPER
Keeps Feed Free From Dirt and Saves
Time-Ojreetions For
Building.

There are decided advantages pos
sessed by the hopper that other feed
ing devices do not have. The automat-
ic lid prevents the food getting mixed
with dust and dirt. The fowl can open
the lid az any time for eating, and the
food Will only come in the manger as
it is used. One filling of the hopper
will supply food for two or three days.
The hopper is eight inches wide. two
and one-half feet high and three feet

STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
Bows Of James Reid and Martin Null
Inns Crushed At the Flats.

ST. CLAIR FLATS, Mich. Oct. ~.
The steel steamer James Reed,
down-bound with q cargo OF ore, and
the steel steamer. Martin Mullins. up
bound with coal, collided al southeast
bend at 1890 Monday morning. The
bows of both boats were crushed and
both were run on the ground to pre-
vent them from sinking In the chan
mel.
The fact that the watches had just
changed and the crews had not yet
gone to bed. was all that prevented q
loss OF life, as both forecastles were
splintered, and all the men In the for
ward compartments would have been
crushed. Both forward compartments
are full of water aft to the collision
bulkhead.
Each captain blames the other for
the accident, but II Is stated that the
Mullins. in passing an Unbound tow.
took sheer and the collision resulted.
The Mullins is lying In the SAME
place as the Cadillac did two years
ago, about thousand feet above Be-
