Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains some very interest. ing facts about Major's cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many buudred per cent. better than other cements for which similar claims are made, hut a great many do not know why, The simple reason Is that Mr. Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other man- ufacturers do not use them, because they are to expensive and do not allow large profits, Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs 83. 75 a pound, and another cost $2.65 a gallon while a large share of the so called ce ments aud liquid glue, upon the market are nothing more than 16 cent glne, di solved in water or citric acid, and in some cases, altered slightly in color aml odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fif- teen and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substi tute you can depend upon it that lils only object is to make a larger profit. The profit on Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make on any ce. ment. And this is doubly true in view of the fact that each dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Major's advertising which now amonuts to $5000 a month, thronehont the country. Established in 1870.

The sheep owner, to begin with, is at consicerah.e expense, for he has to tha maintain a man with every 2. 0. head of his wool .. es. But he shears once ot twice a year, and at the present prices for wool an average half-bred mering will bring him annually from source alone $1.20. The increase of bis Hocks is fully +) per cent. per annum. He need not wait several years, like his enemy, the cattleman, for entrance to market. His wethers at the pres- en! rates hring bim $3,50 lean, and five dollars wben in good condition, but spring lambs, four months old. are rated in the eastern markets at even a greater price per head than is paid for matured muttons. It is a business ot quick returns and ample profits. To ed'y influence the wool quotations. hut were the value of the wool almost to be destroyed. the sheepmen would still be on an equality with the cattle baron.
