It was Robert’s first visit to the Zoo. 
“What do you think of the animals?” 
inquired Uncle Ben. After a critical in¬ 
spection of the exhibit the boy replied: 
“I should think the kangaroo and the ele¬ 
phant should change tails.”—Youngs¬ 
town Telegram. 
PRODUCTS, PRICl-S AND TRADE. 
Wholesale milk prices at New York re¬ 
main as previously reported, $1.81 and 
$1.71, covering considerable of the busi¬ 
ness. 
* 
The New York butter market is dull and 
two cents lower than last week. At this 
writing 28 cents is the top for creamery, 
with the probability of a further drop. 
Storage is being offered urgently at 25 
to 27 cents for good grades, and State 
dairy, 24 to 2G. 
* 
Egg receipts are running heavy, but 
trade is good. Prices run about the same 
as last week on most grades, but fancy 
whites are a cent lower, 32 cents being 
an extreme price. Some brown and 
mixed bring 30 to 31 cents, but a large 
amount of business is covered by a range 
of 27 to 29 cents. 
* 
The potato market at New York is 
weak and 25 to 35 cents per barrel lower, 
prices ranging from $1.75 to $2.50. A 
great many of the offerings run poor 
either in size or from frost damage. Ida¬ 
ho potatoes are selling well in the Central 
West. St. Louis alone expects to handle 
30,000 bushels of the Idaho stock, which 
are of excellent quality. The wholesale 
price is about $1 per bushel now. 
* 
In a single week recently we shipped 
375 tons of dressed chickens to England. 
They were grown and packed in the 
Middle West, and graded carefully, as to 
size and quality. Some of the standard 
sizes of boxes used for packing are: 12 
roasters, running 4 to 4U, pounds each, 
8x10x19, inside measurement; 12 frying 
chickens, 2 to 2*4 pounds each, 4%xl9x 
21; 12 small fowls, 3 to 3*4 pounds each, 
7x1214x14. 
* 
Iowa leads all States in value of live 
stock, $470,272,000, the horse industry 
being the most valuable item. The total 
number of horses is 1,584,000, and hogs, I 
6,976,000 head. 
* 
The Long Island Cauliflower Associa- 1 
tion has been one of the most successful 
selling organizations in the East. Its t 
report for the past year shows net re¬ 
turns of $500,000 on 400,000 packages 
sold. After deducting all expenses the 
association has made a 10 per cent, divi¬ 
dend to the stockholders. 
* 
The 48 States of this country are now 
in debt $342,251,000, an increase of 50 
per cent, in 10 years, according to the 
census report. New York and Massachu¬ 
setts have the largest items. New York’s 
debt amounting to 25 per cent of the to¬ 
tal for all States, and Massachusetts 
23.2. The per capita debt in Iowa is 
only three cents. 
* 
There have recently been several 
round-ups of Jack rabbits in Eastern 
Oregon and Washington, the result being 
shipment of 80,000 skins to Paris to be 
used in making fur hats. These rabbits 
are a great pest to agriculture in the 
Northwest. \y. w. ir. 
H ERE’S one thing about roofings you ought to 
know—a “slowly made” roofing is the only 
kind that is slow to wear out. 
Every foot of NEponsET Roofing is made, not on the how fast 
but on the how-good-can-it-be-made” principle. This takes time. 
But it’s the only way to surely make a roofing absolutely reliable and 
100% weather and waterproof. You buy roofing for an investment. 
But a half-made, hurry-up” roofing is the worst kind of an 
investment. You pay almost as much. What do you get? A quick- 
spoiling roof—a roof that’s only half a roof—a roof that is a con¬ 
stant nuisance and source of expense. |\JEp q nsET Roofing is 
slowly made—to give a service of years—not merely to sell. 
Sold by dealers everywhere. Write for name of nearest dealer.

“I have been expecting her for some 
time,” declared Mr. Dubbe. “and there 
she is." “There is who?” asked his wife. 
“The woman tramp,” answered Dubbe. 
“Anybody could tell that she is a hobo. 
Observe how she slouches along with her 
shoulders humped, her stomach project¬ 
ing. and her hands thrust into the poc¬ 
kets of some man’s discarded overcoat. 
Yes, and look at her shoes! The heels 
worn clear ofF!” “Silly,” giggled Mrs. 
Dubbe. “She is one of our swellest so¬ 
ciety girls, in the latest figure, gait and 
garb.”—Lippincott’s Magazine.
