cents per head, and that the cost of micro¬ 
scopical Inspection of hogs will not exceed 
five cents per animal. He earnestly recom¬ 
mends that Congress be asked to make an 
appropriation sufficiently large to extend 
the inspection to all applicants, and says 
that the benefits which have already accru¬ 
ed by the opening up of the foreign mar¬ 
kets to pork products, the increased demand 
for beef products, and the reestablish¬ 
ment of their reputation for wholesomeness 
and soundness in the markets of the world, 
together with the protection which this 
inspection furnishes to our own consumers, 
amply justify a liberal appropriation. He 
estimates that the losses to our pork raisers 
during the past 10 years owing to the pro¬ 
hibition by foreign countries aggregate 
over .$360,000,000. 
A short course in agriculture commences 
at the University of Wisconsin January 4 
and lasts until March 25. This course is de¬ 
signed for young men who intend to follow 
farming and feel the need of a broader 
knowledge in their chosen vocation, but 
who can give only a limited amount of 
time to preparation and study. In the se¬ 
lection of topics and arrangement of 
studies, laboratory work, etc., everything 
has been planned to give the largest amount 
of information and assistance along in¬ 
tensely practical lines, without undue 
crowding. The course has grown to such 
an extent that it will require two terms to 
complete it. The new student is at liberty 
to select from the list of studies in lectures, 
laboratory and shop practice, the equiva¬ 
lent of three recitations daily, leaving the 
remainder of the subjects to be pursued a 
second winter if he returns. The subjects 
treated are Feeds and Feeding, Breeds and 
Breeding, Agricultural Chemistry, Agri¬ 
cultural Physics, etc., Horticulture and 
Economic Entomology, Practical Mechan¬ 
ics, Dairying and Veterinary Science. 
Necessary expenses from $65 to $75. Other

Butter Is dull, the greatest demand being for top 
grades. Receipts have been liberal and demand only 
fair, while the demand for export amounted to 
almost nothing; hence the situation Is dull. There 
are a few unimportant changes in price. There Is a 
good demand for fancy, small packages. Only the 
best grades will bring outside quotations.

Cheese has advanced still further and the advance 
Is firmly held, although export business Is almost 
entirely shut off by present prices. The fact Is the 
supply of cheese Is small and prices are helped by the 
high prices of butter.

Fruits.- Receipts of apples have continued large 
and prices show no improvement. Best grades are 
In more limited receipt, firm and higher. Cranberries 
are plentiful and dull. Florida oranges are moving 
more freely, but at unimproved prices. Pears are 
quiet, the demand being mostly for fine table fruit. 
Dried fruits show little change, but the trading is 
moderate.

Poultry.— The Thanksgiving market was a pretty 
good one. Receipts were liberal as usual and the 
most of the stock arrived In good order. The weather 
was favorable. The practice of icing is growing In 
favor, as it does away with the risk of loss from un¬ 
favorable weather. Game of all kinds meets a good

A MONEY-SAVING DISCOVERY. 
They have found It! 
A dye that will color silk and feathers black, has 
been discovered at last. 
Think of the silk dresses, ribbons, and sashes, and 
the faded ostrich feathers, that will now be brought 
from attics, closets, and trunks, to take on a new 
lease of life by being dipped in this new dye. 
Diamond Dye black for silk and feathers, as it Is 
called, makes a rich, handsome, and durable black. 
It Is very easy to use. and will enable many women 
to appear In black silk, and have elegant plumes, at 
a very small expense. 
The other Diamond dyes for black (fast black for 
wool and fast stocking black for cotton) are standard 
and. reliable. They make a black that will never 
fade or crock. A ten cent package colors a pound of 
goods or live pairs of stockings.— Adv.
