A representative gathering of men
and women of Detroit, took aotion ex
pressive of keenest sympathy with the
Armenians, and also by a gift of over
$500 made a substantial beginning in
rendering financial aid to that op

adopted memorials to the United States

Britain, urging aotion which shall for

Those in a position to have early in
formation on the subject, claim to have
good reason for believing that large
German banks intend to subscribe for
$40,000,000 of the new government

intends to subscribe for $25,000,000 of
the bonds, and the Bleichroeders for

now existing between Germany and
England.

THE BUSINESS WORLD
Uncertainty in Money Market
Affects Trade.
R. 6. DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW
The Speculation in Products Has Been
Quiet at Better Prices Iron Quo
tations Are. Lower.
New York, Jan. 13. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, says:
The new year begins with " such un
certainty that business is somewhat re
tarded. The proposed sale of bonds
offers ground for confidence in the
future, but no one is able to determine
what its earliest effects may be in the
meney market, and for the time, it is
a cause of hesitation, rather than hope
fulness. Speculation in products has not been
active. Wheat is about 1 cent higher,
and corn the same, without distinct
reason in each case, for the govern
ment report, tardily conforming to
commercial estimates of some months
ago, did not command great confidence.
Wheat receipts at Western points were
almost double last year, 2,805,702
bushels, against 1,305700 last year,
but Atlantic exports were a little
larger than last year. Corn receipts
are about a quarter lower than last
year, while Atlantic exports are about
four times as large.
The industrial situation has not
materially changed. There is much
hesitation in the iron business, and
some advance in Bessemer pig. Fin
ished products of iron and steel are on
the whole quoted a little lower. The
business in nails is extremely lower.
Nothing is doing in rails, and, while
there is rather a better demand for
sheets and plates and several good or
ders are reported for structural work,
angles are quoted a shade lower. Every
thing turns on the contraots for Ore
which are still unsettled, but the great
excess in production ' of pis-iron over
the present demand is no longer denied,
and it is expected that quite a num
ber of furnaces will presently dis
continue production. Lower prices for
Alabama iron renew competition with
Eastern furnaces.
Sales of wool are large, 6,699,300
pounds for the week, against 5,236,715
last year, although a large part of the
purchases are of a speculative charac
ter, based upon a belief that prices
may be advanced, if the newrtariff bill
goes into effect i

THE MIOWERA SAFE.
After Leaving the Strathnevis
She
. Proceeded to Honolulu.
Vanoouver, B. C, Jan. 13. The
steamer Warimoo arrived this after
noon from Australia. She brings wel
come news of the safety of the Mio
wera, having spoken her January 2, at
10 A. M., about 100 miles off Hono
lulu. The Warimoo brings lengthy
report from Captain Stott, regarding
his attempted rescue of the Strathnevis,
which contains -particulars already re
lated by the officers of the disabled
steamer. After relating how the
Strathnevis had been lost during the
storm December 23, Captain Stott
proceeds:
"It was blowing such a fierce gale
that it was impossible for us to do any
thing, the sea being so heavy that the
Strathnevis at times would be engulfed
nearly out of sight and at other times
towering above us. It was noticed
that the Strathnevis rolled so heavily
that the green light at times was
nearly perpendioular with her port red.
We kept well in sight of her lights
until 4 A. M., bearing east one-half
south, when suddenly, they were lost
to view, and, from the tremendous sea
running, we feared that she had foun
dered. "Owing to the very heavy cross sea
that was running, we had for our own
safety at 5:30 A. M. to head the Mio
wera to sea southwest and go dead
slow, as we found the force of the
waves was endangering our rudder and
rudderpost, and we were shipping
heavy water on board! flooding the
stoke hold and also down the engine
room skylights, which were stove in,
and causing considerable other dam
age. The rise and fall of the steamer
in the sea was so great that she buried
her stern six feet under water, but not
withstanding all the above, and, at the
risk of our ship, we held on to the
Strathnevis to the very last, until the
hawsers parted and we could do no
more.
"We remained near the place of
parting for fifteen hours and then pro
ceeded to Honolulu."
TRADITION DEFIED.
Leo to Address an Encyclical to Non-
Catholics as Well as Catholics.
New York. Jan. 13. Special ad-
vioes to the World from Rome say:
The central object of Pope Leo s
policy has always been to bring about
or prepare a grand reunion of the
Christian churches. The holy father
has already published two encyclicals
devoted to that end. One was addressed
to the princes and the people. The
other took the form of an appeal to
Anglicans. - A third encyclical will
shortly be made known. It is to be
addressed 'Ad Omnes Christianos,"
(To All Christians ) Thus one more
innovation will be added to the others
of the present pope. In former times
it was the oustom to address the papal
documents "To the Bishops and the
Faithful in Communion With the Holy
Apostolic Church." Leo XIII has de
fled tradition by dedicating his enoycli
cals to non-Catholics as well as
Catholics."

commission fund, for the purpose of
erecting and operating artficial salmon
hatoheries. A hatchery , with a capa
city of turning out 6,000,000 young
salmon annually has been erected on the
Kalama river, a tributary of the Colum
bia, and is now beng operated. There
are now in this hatchery over 4,000,000
young Chinook salmon in various
stages of development A Station for
taking and eyeing salmon spawn has

The report of Wells-Fargo & Com
pany gives the total mineral produc
tion of Idaho, in 1895, at $7,353,320,
an increase of $511,900 over last year.
Of this production the gold was $2,-
521,000; silver, 2,807,450; lead, $2,
026,680. The difference between
Wells-Fargo's total and the assay office
estimate is largely accounted for by
the different value per ounce of silver,
the mint using the coinage value and
Wells-Fargo the oommeroial price.
The difference, 62 oents, amounts to
$2,500,000.
INTENSIVE DAIRYING
Make a Few Acres Support a
Large Number ot Cows.
WASHINGTON -STATE DAIRY LAW
The Law Prohibits the Bellini; of
Skimmed Milk Under Pretense
That It Is Unskimmed.
"Intensive dairying is the scienoe
of making a few aores support a larger
number of cows than is generally the
custom, says the Pacific Coast Dairy- -man.
It is called the praotice of soil
ing. By this system cows are not al
lowed to run in the pasture, as is
usually the case; but they are kept up,
and all green food cut and fed to them. ,
The ideas brought out above exaotly
fit our people owning ten and twenty- "
five aore tracts. Nearly every one is
more or less familiar with the wonder
ful butter producer, the Jersey cow,
but it is not every one who is familiar
with the way the Jersey cow is cared
for on the beautiful island of Jersey.
The people on the Jersey island are
situated like many of our people, with
small holdings ten and twenty-five
acre tracts. The land being very valu
able, is not fenced. Then one might
well ask, how are the thousands of
cows cared for and kept? They are
cared for in two ways tethered with.
thirty or forty feet of rope and changed
as needed, and kept in stables and feed
cut and fed to them daily. This is the
intensive idea to make a small tract
produce more and support many more
cows than would be possible under the
system of allowing them to roam at
will in large pastures.
To those who are now in the dairy
line, and others who may engage in
it, here is anoter - important point: .
Arrange so as many of your cows as " '
possible may be fresh about the 1st of
September. You will find your cows -!
will bring in more income by this
plan than to have, them fresh in the
spring. What calves you raise are
ready to turn out in the spring; your
cows are in full flow of milk when

The Dairy Law.
State Dairy Commissioner Smith, of
Washington, says that their state law
has been the cause of increasing the
produot of the dairymen 20 per cent -
This is due largely to the effect the law.-
has had in decreasing the sale of oleo
margarine. It provides that oleomar
garine shall not be colored, but must
be sold at its original form. It is as
white as lard, and is of course' not so
tempting as when richly colored so as
to resemble a fine quality of butter.
This spoils its sale, aud the Cudahy
Packing Company is fighting the law -on
the west side. We have a cow
butter man in Seattle who has been ar
rested several times for selling colored
oleo," and one of these oases is now
pending in the superior court, to whioh
he appealed after being convicted in
the justice court. When oleomargarine
first began to come in under the law
it was white. It would not sell, and
the manufacturers said they believed
they could give it a shade darker color
in the process of manufacture without
adding any coloring matter. This
was advisable under the law and they
tried it They imparted a slight color
to it, and then they said that by the
same process they could make it a lit
tle darker yet I had no doubt of it,
and was not mistaken. They continued
to make it darker till it looked like
butter once more. The law also pro
hibits the selling of skimmed milk un
der the pretense that it is unskimmed.
A man may sell skimmed milk if he
wants to, but he must not lead the pur
chaser to believe that it is pure. That
is one thing I want your oity counoil
to insert in the new milk ordinance a
provision requiring that cans from
which skimmed milk is being sold shall
be properly labeled. The law also
prohibits the watering of milk under
any ciroumstanoes. Persons knowing
of any violation of the law, either
by selling skmmed milk under false
pretenses or watering milk, should re
port it, and violations of the law
would soon stop.
Dairy Notes.
The secret of success in the dairy is
to reduce the cost of making goods.

Study the nature of your cows and
fall in with their moods. It pays to be
agreeable, even to a cow.
No business requires more emphatic
ally under one's thumb than does suc
cessful dairying.
It is always advisable to make a
change of feed occasionally for the cow
in winter. It gives her increased
appetite.
Buyers on the Utica board of trade
have decided to refuse to buy or even
handle on commission any cheese made
after the 1st of November.
After butter customers are secured,
the way to hold them is to always fur
nish as high a grade of butter as that
whioh at first won them as customers.
J. H. Monard, of Chicago, has re
cently published a most valuable
pamphlet on "Pasturization and Milk
Preservation, with Chapter on Selling
Milk."
H. B. Gurler thinks the first move
for a dairy farmer who has not tested
his cows, should be to have them test
ed, and become acquainted with them
individually. Weed out all the un
I profitable ones. Then select . a bull
i from some dairy breed.
