<5 SIDE BHIBE. Boston Business Men Speak Out. The "Deadly Parallel" Re veals a Striking Simi larity. Upon all matters of public interests, there is usually a great diversity of opinion, and it is refreshing to Bud two business men whose views upon an im portant subject are almost precisely alike. To show this striking similarity in the plainest pocsible way, we print in parallel columns their statements lo the reporter. GEORGE J. SMITH,|BERTONA. KNIGHT Of S Bowdoin Street.

The people of Boston and New England are rapidly learning that Pai lie's Celery Compound is not a patent medicine, but an absolute discovery in the field of Science, as inucti superior to cheap remedies as Science is always superior to ignorance. If you are a sufferer, or if you have been trying remedies which have not relieved you, you cannot afford to neslect your health. Take that which is admitted to be purest and best, for in a question of health the best is certainly the cheapest.

One Thousand Kansas City Cards in a St. Paul Bro ker's Hands. The Supreme Court Decides an Important Case Against Scalpers. The Association May Discrim inate Ag-ainst an Excur sion. Chicago. March When , the lines operating between Chicago ami StTPanl entered into their recent agreement to restore ■passenger rates and to divide passenger business between those points, it was known that the Chicago, bt. Paul & Kansas City bad sold about 4.000 unlimited tickets at reduced rates, which were at that time on the market, it was also known that about 1,000 tick ets of the issue of that road were in the hands of a St. Paul broker, good for pas sage between St. Paul and St. Joseph. Since that time the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City road has extended its line to Kansas City, and it is claimed that the management by its indorsement has made these tickets good to the hitter point, as well as o St. Joseph. The Minneapolis & St. Louis road lias notified Chairman Finley, of the Western Passenger asso ciation, that the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City has violated Its agreement by making a rate from St. Paul to Kan sas City 91.20 lower tiian the tariif rate, and asks for authority to make an open rate of $13 between those points to meet such competition. Chairman Finley sent out the announcement to-day that a hearing of the case will be had at his oflice to-morrow to decide whether the application of the Minneapolis & St. Louis shall be granted or not. A BL.OAV AT SCALPERS. Important Decision Regarding Tickets by the Supreme Court. Chicago, March 26.— A decision just rendered by the supreme court of Utah is interesting in view of the efforts now being made by the railroads to abolish unlimited tickets. E. K. Campbell bought two unlimited first-class tickets of the issue of the Union Pacific road at 131ne Rapids, Kan., for San Dieuo, Cal. He used them to Ogden and sold the unused portions to a ticket broker. 11. E. Druminond boujrht them of the broker and presented them for passage for himself and wife from Otrden to Los Angeles. The conductor took up the tickets and made Drummond pay full fare. Drummoudsued the company for $10,000 damages and was allowed $115 by the district courtof Utah. The Union J'acihc took an appeal, and the supreme court reversed the judgment on the ground that the conductor had a right to take up the tickets by the terms of the contract printed upon them. COMPETITION DEMANDED. The Association May Refuse Usual Rates to the Christian Endeavor. Chicago, March 26. — There is a strong probability that the Western Passenger association will refuse to authorize the usual rate of one fare for the round trip for the next annual meet ing of the Society of Christian En davor, to be held in Minneapolis in July. The reason is that the secretary of the association and other members of the committee of arrangements are said to be using their influence to divert all the business lrom Chicago to Minneapo lis to the Burlington road. The other roads object to this, and a resolution will be introduced at the April meeting of the Western Passenger association providing that no reduced rates shall be authorized for the occasion unless a positive guarantee be furnished that there will be no interference on the part of any officers or committees of the so ciety in the matter of choosing routes for the visiting delegates. Cleared the Market. Chicago. March 20.— Chairman Fin ley notified the Chicago & Alton people to-day that he had received satisfactory assurance from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe that all the outstanding cut rate tickets of the issue of the Jackson ville Southeastern road had been taken up and canceled. CHESS TOURNEY. The Mill Citizens Come Out One Game Ahead of St. Paulites. The first game of the tourney at chess between the St. Paul and Minneapolis chess, checkers and whist clubs was played last evening in the St. Paul club rooms. Ten players were engaired on each side. There will be only two sit tings, each to play four games. The second and la«t sitting will be next Thursday in Minneapolis. The game resulted as follows: St. Paul— | Minneapolis Geo. Sommcrs. Jr..

The Minneapolis club waived the point. A large number of other players were present and looked on at the game, many not being members of the club. Sculler Teenier Accepts. St. Josepit, Mo., March 2(s.— John Teenier, the oarsman, says that he will accept O'Connor's challenge .to row three miles and return for 12,500, and the championship of America, but that he first wants to row azainst Hanlan. to whom he issued a challenge about a week ago. Teemer's challenge to Han lan stated if the latter did not accept, the challenge would then be open to O'Con nor and Gaudaur. Hanlan has not yet accepted, but both the others have. .

Northam. during the past ten yeurs in the employ of the Schuleuburg & Boe cheler Lumber compauy, left yesterday for Great Falls, Mont., where he will reside in the future. Mr. Northam was a prominent member of the K. of P. lodge of this city, and at the meeting Monday evening he wus pre sented with a beautiful gold and silver em blem of the order. He was also presented with a gold watch chain irom h,s fellow em ployes at the mill. Mike Cioney, employed at the Donovan Bros.' camp on Sand creek, Minn., was brought down yesterday morning, having broken his right leg. Cloney was prying; a log with a peyey, when the fog slipped and rolled over his fieht leg, with the above re sult. He was taken to his father's home on South Third street, where he was attended by Dr. Marshall. A warrant was sworn out a few days ago for the arrest of Charles Little, who is charged with assaulting R. M. Coles. Little heard that he was wanted and came down from Centerville yesterday and gave himself up to the sheriff. Little gave bonds for his appearance before Judge Nethaway next Monday morning. Rev. N. E. Chapman, lately pastor of the Baptist church, but resigned a few days aeo owing to his failing health, left yesterday for Osas»e. 10., where he hopes to ngain regain his former health and vigor. He was dearly beloved by nis congregation, who are sorry that poor nealth necessitated his retirement' The death of ex-Warden Randall at St. Paul Wednesday has caused a universal feel ing of sorrow in this city.

Mrs. Clara Gish's class* in elocution will give a public rehearsal at the Congregational church this evening. More Dairy Protlucts Xecded. At a late meeting of the Illinois State Dairymen's association the secretary of the association presented a remarkable statement as to the insufficiency of pro duction in the dairy line in the United States. After presenting the statistics of Illinois, showing the value of milk produced in the state during the year to be over $45,000,000, Mr. Lespinasse con tinued as follows: "This dairy interest is a great one. It is the largest sin gle interest in the universe, and al though it appears as an immense and to the minds of some an overdone bus'ness, a few moments of thought and figur ing will prove the contrary. Nine hundred million dollars in value of dairy products represent in round numbers the amount produced by the United States. This is not enough for ordinary home consumption by fully 30 per ceut. In the city of New York the consumption of milk, butter and cheese as per actual figures of the Mercantile Exchange averages a little over five cents ncr person per day, and requires $28,287,500 annually. The consumption in Chicago of the same articles for 1889 shows an. average of five cents per per son per day, ana requires $18,250,000 for the year. Nine hundred million dollars a year of dairy product only affords 3% cents per person per day for the United States. On grounds of good health and public policy we should have an aver age daily consumption of about five cents per person. (Jood quality of goods will speed on that day when we shali need for our present population $1,200,000,000 worth of milk, butter and cheese annually. Upon this basis at the present rate of population in our great commonwealth of Illinois it will require $62,500,000 of these products to supply the state of Illinois. We do not as yet make enough by twenty millions to do this. Snap and vim and an in domitable spirit of progression will as sist us in reaching this point. If the situation of Illinois is one requiring so much more than is now produced within its limits, how «iueh more must the necessity for dairy advancement progress be felt in neighboring states? How imperative it seems for them to , co-operate and organfze \svery whereto make 1 tUe most and tlie best products, aud find the most advantageous mar kets at least cost. •■ .' t" -3?.. ■'■ END Of.IHE SCKUBS. Some Useful Facts Gathered by the Indiana Farmer. Line upon line on the folly of holding to scrub stock has been supplemented by exceeding strong argument on the same side by the markets of the past year or two. Prices and profits are the final arbitrament of all businees and commercial propositions. This touches where words won't. In these years prices have been great object lessons. Here are the killing and making-alive facts. High grade beeves $5.25 to $5.50 per hundred pounds. Common beeves, 52.:50 to $3 per hundred pounds. That tells the tale in part only. The other part is that two-year-old grades weigh more than three year-old common beeves. Or, putting into market, grades at three will aver age 1,400 pounds, while the common av erage only 1,100 pounds. Mind these are the averages of the markets, not the exceptions of single instances here and there. Now let any one take his pencil and figure out how much is lost in hold ing on the scrub race of cattle. High and unnecessary taxes are an outrage. Extravagant public expenditures Oy township, countj, state and nation are anoutraeeon the great masses of the industrious and frugal people. But the man who is committing commercial and business suicide by holding on to the scrub will not impress the public by raising his voice outside till he tries the remedy inside of his own fences and barns. The day of manna and quails is past. The world has been taught how to keep itself in material things. Those who avail themselves of none of the lessons before them will have to "come up through great tribulation." The beef markets for two years have made plain the struggles of this class. These facts will have beeu in vain if not fruitful upon such. It can confidently be predicted that these contrasts in the markets must be the last featner to break the back of the scrub tribe. From this on growers of live stock will seek means for grading up what they have. The prices of males for this purpose are so low that any can obtain them. This year is sure to wit ness an advance in all good live stock. Indeed, prices have already started upward." The pure breeds and all others are in the same boat. Upon the prices ot beef cattle depends the prices of pure-bred cattle. As tho one advances so will the other. But one thing is settled, viz: the gulf (in prices) between grade beeves and com mon is fixed. The wide margin of dif ferences during the past two years of confessed close times of all classes of consumers makes it, plain that good beef will hold its place in advance of poor. If common beef goes up to $4, the good grade will go to $G per hun dred. And thus the margin will still be wide, and the grower of the com mon will still be at the same disadvantage. On this same sub ject the Texas Live Stock Jour nal, published iv the midst of the sinu ous, athlete breeding district, though rapidly improving their stock, says: "All those now engaged in raising cat tie should be able to see aud know that scrubs have seen their course, outlived their day and are no longer wanted. The market and the demand grows more and more exacting each year. The p.ogressive and successful cattle raiser will cater to the demand for a better quality of btef, and in return will re ceive better and more remunerative prices. On the other hand, the careless and indifferent cattlemen will continue to raise scrubs, sell them to the can ners, and lose money until the sheriff sells them out, and then they say "the Big Four did it." South Dakota for Stock. S. T. Smith, one of the successful stockmen of Jerauld county, gives the Woonsockot News some interesting facts concerning his experience with cattle, both in SoutlrDakota and iii Illi nois. Last spriiiir Mr. Smith bought a lot of young cattle and dry cows. He herded them on the buffalo grass lands surrounding his Jerauld county farm. Last fall he shipped them to Sioux City. They were rolling fat— in just as good condition as - lowa and Illinois cattle that had been fed 50 cwt. corn, and hay worth $10 a ton. On these cat tle Mr. Smith doubled his money in six months without feeding a mouthful of. hay or (train. On his recent trip back to Illinois Mr. Smith found farmers feeding hay worth $10 a ton to cattle which were not gaining iv flesh, but rather losing. . if a fanner there wants to fatten a cow or Bteer he must feed grain. At home, on his Dakota farm, Mr. Smith's cattle were picking their living from the prairie, and had been fed no grain or hay until the recent snow, about Feb. 1. And these, cattle from the buffalo grass pasture are rolling fat and tit <o butcher at any time, This is no fancy picture, but facts which can be proved to any man who will come and see for himself. Good quarter-section farms can be bought to-day in Sanborn and Jerauld counties for from S4OO to SSOO. Many of these places have comfortable houses and barns and from eighty to a hundred acres under the plow. There never was a time to buy land in this sec tion of South Dakota like the present There never will be such a time again. The man who secures a farm now gets in "on the ground floor," and gets the land at less than half the cost of taking a homestead on the frontiet. Rich soil stands drought better than poor. The heavier growth shades the soil, and thus .checks evaporation; the crops are hurried to maturity before drought gets in its work, and vigorous plants can go further for moisture and nutriment. •sjo:n?jn§o>j 3];;iq sip qjb s; RPd s < 9DJ3 !d ' J a '41 9Jn3 noA* puu ipi2iiio}s oi{; 3}B{ -nS9^ -uißjq 3i{j vi }ou si 9ipi3pc3i[ }piS jo reas 31JJL j uiaip O} sA\3u 3i{; XJJH3 •}i joj .

Chicago, March 26.— There was a fair divi sion of opinion in the trading pits when business commenced, but when the time came to adjourn over to-morrow's holiday, bullish sentiment was bedly weakened, aud short sellers, or those inclined to that policy were proportionately encouraged. Corn pro vided the sensation of the day. dropping 3>4c per bushel from the price it sold at near the start; wheat went off lUc from its high point, aud provisions also weakened, al though there was a steadier feeling, Btrange to say, in ihat commodity than in auy of the others. Wheat started strong at $1.03 V» for >iiiy and §1.01 M» tor July, the selling pressure being strongest for the July future. The Email local receipts— 24 — the tempestu ous weather and the moderately firm, tone of the foreign advices were the ruling influ ences. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were not oppressive, being 230 cars, compared with 232 cars last year. The early oilicial cable quoted Californian cargoes for prompt shipment 41 shillings, against 4) shillings sixpence yesterday, aud the Cincin nati Price Current reported the preseut sea sou for spring seeding operations backward. Kansas City wired that 71,000 bushels of wheat were being loaded there for country millers" use. The clearances from the four principal Atlantic ports showed shipments of Hour 60,270 packages, and wheat 73,015 bush els. May heat advanced to $1.033fe, aud was well held for about five minutes around Sl.oiii,2. and a good demand springing up for July, it rose to Sl.OlTfe. Corn was so pro nouncedly toft, however, that short sellers of wheat tumbled over each other in their ef forts? to take advantage of what demand was still remaining. The price of the May future broke to $1-0273, hesitated a few moments around that figure and SLO3, and then maae a plunge to 5i. 02%, and possibly a sale or two was made at SLO2U- July sold off at the same time to $l.bo!fe. May wheat recovered through ii very general buying back of the lines of the local shorts. The advance was only temporary, however. It rose to $1.02 ft. but gradually worked back to the lowest n'giuet! named above, and the latest trading was at SLO^irs for .May end SI.O'JJA for July. The corn market was again the scene of excitement similar to that of the last few uays. The wet weather, the s-mnll receipts aud the rirmuess at the opening of the sur rounding speculative markets, in addition to advances of a very bulgy foreign situation, gave some confidence to thoie having large holdings. The openiug price for May was 68c. or &'gc higher than it closed yesterday, and! Juiv started with an advance of about %c. May advanced to 6ti,2C and July to eti^c inmost immediately, and tben the bears com menced an excited run upon the market, which broke, aud the smash was dis astrous to the holders, and buyers -Were overwhelmed with stuff when ever they made a bid. Bar.lett-Frazier, who have been closely identified with the recent Dull movement, were open sellers ot considerable quantities. The local receipts were only 121 cars, of which 17 were of the contract grade. To-morrow's receipts are estimated at 150 cars. The principal fluctua tions in the May delivery were from 68c at the opening to tifcL 2 c to ii;>h@tiiTßC, 67% c, 67Vic and its sensational break of the uay carried prices off_ suddenly to 66WC. There was a recovery to 66c. and the closing quota lion was 6-mSc bid. July ranged from 67c early to 6:11,2 c and reccovered to 64\i@64%c ni the close. There was free selling of May oats'by the longs, who were also good buyers "of the July future, and the latter future "was consequently the ' strongest all day. The highest pftces of the day were made early iv the session. The market weakened soon after the opening aud gained a jittle strength towatd the close. May startsd ul 54i,ic, bold up to 5458-, to 52Vjc, to 53c at the close, indicating 1 cent decline. July sold from . r >2@.V.'i,2@o2sgc to 51c to -Slue, closing v»>c lower at that price. Receipts, 165 cars. The provision market opened weak and some what lower, Dutou the face of some buying by the packers, the selling pressure was not very strong. The sentiment 'of the crowd was blso affected to some extent by the state ment of the Cincinnati Price Current that the summer run of hogs was likely to be very light. Thj packing of the West, however, HCCOidinsi to the same authority, was 283,000 head last week, compared with "215,000 hogs on the corresponding week of last year. Commission houses did tne selling again and I the packeis were the principal buycis. May pork opened at from $12 to 512.05; sold at $12.10; off again to $12; then up to Sl2.2t),fol lowiug which fluctuation came the break in corn, when the price slid off to Sli.Bo. recov ered to &12, and closed at $11.92V'2, or a net de cline since yesterday of 17V4C.

New York, March 26.— The recent stagna tion in Hie stock market, together wiili the occurrence of a holiday io-iuorro>v, and the general belief that nothing is to be expected now of the stock market until after the April settlements had their effect upon the attend ance at the board to-day, a:nl the trading for the day outside of that in St. Paul was even less interesting than of the previous days of this week. Tne oue strong point to-day wa-s Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred, which scored a gaiu at one time of I^B per cent, all of which was in part due to the continued favorable showing of its earnings. The rest of the market with the exception of Lacka wanna. Northern Pacific preferred and National Cordage were without interest throughout. The rise in Wheeling & Lake Erie was also aided by the fact that a meeting has been called for April 15 to au tnorizt; a small increase in the preferred stock iv order to procure additional equip ment to meet the demand of present busi ness. This action is interpreted as indicating an increase in the dividend rate. Northern Pacific preferred, however, w.is weak, espe cially in the afternoon, though the move ment had the appearance of hammering puie and simple, and lasted only .a short time. Its extreme loss was 78 per coat, but a portion was afterward recovered. Kumors oi gold engagements were circulated in the aft ernoon, but had no real influence, and late the taking oi $100,000 was announced. The market, however.closed very dull and steady at the insignificant changes from last nights prices. Railroad bonds, on the whole, were still very dull, but there were two active issues, the Hio Grande Western ■Ss and the Oregon Improvement us, the latter furnishing $184,000, and the former $109,000, out of a total day's business of $975, --000. Both of those issues were strong. The other movements, however, were in all cases insignificant, the tone of the market being generally steady with no apparent tendency of prices In either direction, (iovernment bonds have been dull and ' sternly. state bonds have been dull and featureless.

A hard milking cow adds very much to the labor of the milker. Milking is tiresome work at the best, and the man who milks ten cows twice a day year in and year out, performs more muscular, work than any mechanic in tne same time expended. But when he tackles a' hard milker the work is trebled. Th« extra work is so wearisome that it ri-; duces the value of the cow, and unless the animal is above the average of the' herd, it is wise to displace her for one' milks easier. To fret ten quarts of milk twice a day from a hard milking cow is so laborious and tiresome a job,' that if the whole herd were or the same' kind, extra help would be required. 1 The question often occurs, "Is there any remedy for this fault?" No doubt tin re is on the principle that "there is a' remedy for every evil under the sun," , says Henry Stewart in Practical Farmer, lint the cause of the evil is to be con sidered in devising the cure. This, in the construction of the cow's teat, the orifice of which is bound by a tense rinir of muscular fiber which keeps it closed. This liber is, or should be,; elastic. In an easy-milking cow the* muscle, or dissection of the teat, will bo found quite elastic, soft and cellular,} rattier than fibrous, The muscles crosfi each other in several layers in a diago-' nal direction, and are not dis posed in a narrow rins like a rub-I ber band. In a hard-milking cowj tliesc muscles are rigid, hard ancr more fibrous, appearing on dissection! much like threads which have little elasticity. These are so much a char acterisiic of the cow that they are al most always inherited by the calf, and" in some cases require division by a sharp instrument to overcome their riKldty,] Then by means of a small plug in the orifice to distend them during healing,! the libers are lengthened and the de-1 feet is removed. In some cases the us» of a plug alone will be sufficient to dis* 1 tend the muscle and enlarge the orifice,' or rather lessen the tension of the fibers and make them more elastic; with a good cow this trouble is worth the taking, but when a poor cow is a hard. milker it i 3 the better way to turn her into beef. Young Beef for Profit. The progress of Ideas as connected! with farm practices is far more rapid than farmers get credit lor as the work' goes along, says the Maine Farmer. WeJ have only to look back over a few years of time to Iparn that great change* in methods and practices have taken place and have settled down into the position' of common practice. Tins change has' been very marked in the business of i growing and fattening beef. This 1 change is more plainly illustrated In the West, with their large operations, though the change has taken place l here as well as there. It was but a few] years ago that it was the general under- 1 standing that the animal must be four years or more before lie was fitted fo» the butcher and for the consumer.' I'rof. San born showed that a- pound of: growth could be made on less food and at tar less cost on a growing animal than on an old one; in fact, that it was a law of growth' that the younger the] animal the greater the growth per day and the less fond per day called for. He tnrther showed to the satisfaction of all feeders that the growth of steers the third year and later <m did not pay its way. The Chicago fat stock show soon adopted the then remarkable plan of offering no prizes on beef cattle so old as four years, thus taking the ground that there should be no encouragement given to keepins steers up to that age. Growers soon caught up with this idea, and came to accept the action as wise and proper. A still further advance in the same direction is now noted. J3O early as 18S7 Prof. San born raised a protest against three-year-olds at the fat stock shows, and for the same reason thai obtained with the four-year-old class, and through his iiiHuence all steers above thirty-six mouths old were barred from the Kansas City show of which lie was secretary. Now the Chicago show announces that "after 1870 no place will be provided in the classifica tion for fat cattle over thirty-six months old." Thus is the world of stock farm ins gradually working on the better practices based on the question of profitable results. In stock breeding, as in all other lines of farming, the factor of profit holds the leading po sition, and all progress rightfully is following its lead. The largest bearing apple orchard in the United States, says an exchange, is in Leavenworth.Kau., and comprises 437 acres of bearing trees. This year the yield was 79,170 bushels, the gross re ceipts being $r>o,ouo. Yet nearly $100 was cleared off each acre. The owner considers the Missouri Pippin the best paying apple, in the orchard, the Ben Davis next and the Jonathan third. He has recently set out an SOO-acre orchard, ia Osage county.
