Children Cry for Pitcher's Ctorlo. POCJLTRY NOTES. No. 32. Do the managers of ot r fair do the best for themselves and all con cerned in the majority of the exhibits ? We think tjiey do, but there i ; someth ing wrong with the poultry art of it. I give a few reasons for thinking so. In the first place there are all kinds and varieties of poultry on exhibition. Pure bred and mongrels. In the second place there arc all and any kind of judges for poultry One man takes pains and has good pure bred poultry, he takes them to the fair with an idea of getting first prize, but instead he get's nothing. Perhaps his birds get the roup and die for him, and the man who has the mongrels gets the prize. Why is this ? It is because the men who are chosen as judges know very little if any thing about poultry. Hence our finest specimens arc as a general thing left at home. When if we had them scored by the standard and justice given to all, it would have a tendency to bring out the best stock the county affords, and as the better the exhibits, the more people, I think it certainly an inducement for the managers to look after this matter. W. B. German. "Don't Care to Eat." It is with the greatest confidence that Hood's Sarsaparilla is recommend ed for loss of appetite, indigestion, sick headache, and similar troubles. This medicine gently tones the stom ach, assists digestion, and makes one "real hungry." Persons in delicate health, after taking Hood's Sarsaparil la a few days, find themselves longing for and eating the plainest food with unexpected relish. Product of Oleomargarine. The footing up in the Central Reve nue Bureau has gone so far as to show that figures in regard to this year's pro duct of oleomargarine arc going to surprise the dairymen throughout the country and others interested in the manufacture of artifrial butter. Last year the receipts from the taxes on oleomargarine were $768,291 as against $893,247 for the preceding year, a de crease of $107,000. . This year there will be shown an increase of fully 40 per cent, something wholly unexpected. 1 he theory held by the officers of the bureau is that oleomargarine is steadily winning its way in public fa vor as an article of commerce, put up- on tne market simpiy ior wnar. it is. They believe that people generally are beginning to recognize it as a cheap and healthful substitute or butter. It is noticeable from the returns that more oleomargarine is sold in mining regions, distant from the markets than any where else. This is because it "keeps" and does not become rancid as time goes by- Heretofore the out put of oleomargarine has depended in a very great measure upon the grass crops. When these crops were good and the cows consequently gave milk freely, the government receipts on ac count of the tax upon oleomargarine amounted to almost nothing. When the grass did not grow well then there came a demand for oleomargarine. The unprecedented figures showing this year's increase from the tax on oleomargarine would induce the belief that it has come to stay, grass or no grass. Husband and Wife.
