PACKING BOIISE FAILURES.
The failure of the Palmerston Peck-
ing Co, has again drawn attention to
the danger of collapse that attends all
enterprises of a similar nature when
thero is an insufficiency of capital and a
lack of the moat expert knowledge of
the busine.e. Because the Armotn'a and
Swifts have made enormous fortunes
others with small purses and bounding
ambition think they can jump in and
become packing princes. Plants of limi-
ted capacity work under great dis-
advantage and a few losses generally
result in the closing of their doors.
The members of the Big Four, control-
ling as they do certain transportation
companies, with the world as their field,
easily emerge from a break In the
market. Their ramifications are props
upon which they in part rely for a
large proportion of their profits; the
contracted field of the concern with
a limited capital works to its destrec-
tion.
It has been demonstrated in the manu-
facture of beet auger that nothing less
than a 500 -ton factory will pay; the
larger the better, providing there is no
difficulty in securing the raw material
of a standard quality.
The packing house to be successful
should be backed by a paid-up capital
of 1500,000, allied to a management that
is of the meet competent character. Too
plany of our concerns have been in the
hands of amateurs, and the experience
of shareholders has been anything but
satisfactory. The lesson of the failures
illiquid not go unheeded by prospective
investors.

only a few hours and then refused to
do any more work or repay the money.

—The following is given as a sure
cure for the offensive smell that arises
from sweaty feet, and is worth trying:—
Buy five casts worth of permanganate
of potash and dissolve it in a quart of
warm water. Keep tbi, in a large
bottle corked, Pdur enough into. it
basin of water to make water blood rod,
Soak the feet in this five minutes every
day, and the offensive germs that wake
the skin sweat and smell will soon die,
If all is not pure after a week, make
the water stronger. It may stain the
feet brown, but this is no harm and
will fade off after a day or so. This is
It sure Cure.
--The following recipe for smut in
oats was given et a farmere' institute
meeting: Get some formalin at the
nearest drug store; mix in a barrel in
proportion of one ounce to seven gallons
of water; put your seed oats in a sack
and leave the sack to soak 20 minutes
in the mixture; lay the sack over the
top of the barrel after soaking so as to
allow the liquid to drain back into the
barrel, spread oats out on barn floor to
dry; turn two or three times to facili-
tate drying, then sow. By treating
your ort seed in this way you will avoid
all danger of smut in the crop and you
nlay make a differeuce of five to ten per
Dent in the yield, . .
