Marketing Wool.

One of the leading farmers of Illinois,
who appears occasionally in the Prairie
FIrm4r as - Wool Grower" regards the
present as one of the dark times for wool
growers in that section. lie says that all
other branches of farming are paying better
than this. He charges the wool commission
houses Of Chicago with operating against the
interests of the grower and in favor of the
manufacturer. Though written especially
for farmers at the West. tie following para
graphs may be read with interest by wool
growers of other sections
say to wool growers sell your own wool
at your own harm if possible. Sell to a local
dealer for three or four cents less than You
think it worth. rather than get 1t stranded in
a wool house. The best time To sell wool,
nine times out of ten, is when the tide is W
at shearing time 1t scarcely ever lasts over
a week or two and if you let the OppOr tunity
slip you are compelled to ship, and then to
commence that weary waiting which makes
the heart sick After the first tide e',bs it il
usually from four to six months bef,re you
can get even a nibble for wool, and then when
YOU do effect sale. by the line you deduct
freight and commission, and insurance, and
storage and drayage, and sale tax. and re-
sackage and stealage, and one third off, and
half off. and in some cases, all off, you vii
find that you might have sold at home fol
from six to fifteen cents per pound more
money
The one great drawback to wool-growine
in the United States is not dogs nor scab mol
foot-rot, but the manner of marketing
There is no other staple agricultural product
grown in our country, the purchasers Of
which are so few in number, and hence, able
to make such soul-eating combinations t.
effect prices, wool The manufacture
and their organs never let up during the en-
tire circle of the year, from - bearing - tn,

TREATMENT OF Cows.-P Bushnell. Beth
any, Wayne Co.. Penn l regard cow as
heavens best gift to man, and she should be
treated accordingly. Her stall should permit
her lying comfortably on either side, or even
;rosswise she should not be crowded by
other cattle so as to be obliged to stand on
her feet. Every living thing needs repose.
Trees, plants, shrubs, and even reptiles must
have it, But what kind OF repose do dairy
cows get? All summer they are hurried to
the pasture; in winter they are thrust into
hideously offensive stables, and they are
MIXED and stripped till the mixer is kicked
from the stool by new born calf. 1t is no
wonder that she breaks down with her bur
dens. and is incapable of bearing calves

The Golden Grain.

The grain the grain the beautiful grain,
How it laughs the breeze with its glad refrain,
Blessing the furnishing earth in her pain,
Making her smile with glee;
Lifting in praise each golden crown,
As it drinks the dew that the Father sends down,
Counting the SUMS warm lover-like frown,
Returning it smilingly.
The gram the grain the beautiful sheaves.
y song of joy their rustling aves,
For the gracious gift the earth receives,
Given most royalty.
From every hillside, every plain
Comes the farmers song as he reaps his grain;
And the summer breeze watts on the strain,
In widest harmony.
\ grateful song of rejoicing to greet
The Master, who sendeth the seasons sweet,
Giving the grain the golden wheat,
y blessing for all TO be.
He pours DER the earth his brimming horn,
That the valleys may laugh and sing with corn,
While hope, with her death trance, rises born,
The brighter days to see
our Father we thank Thee the beautiful grain,
Brings blessing like that when the soft summer rain
Comes down the parched earth, bids il in
Rejoice and hope ever in Thee.
Hope ever, and trust Thy thoughts, not like
Thou sendest the drought thou bringest the flowers
withhodeth the grain then, with magical showers
\ glorious harvest we see.
And for the grain the beautiful grain
The golden, the laughing, with glad refrain,
Blessing the furnishing earth in her PAIN
We offer worship TO Thee.

CHURSING.-The time and strength wasted
in one years churning would build in one
year a railroad across the continent. L have
used churn six years of my own invention,
not patented made of tin, eight inches in di
ameter at b tom, nine inches ut top, and
twenty inches high, in which my wife has
churned l 800 lbs of butter, which has
brought the highest market price. She has
never taken over ten minutes to bring a churn-
ing. The dasher is round, without any holes
FIVE inches 10 diameter Hat At the bottom
conical on the top. The cream is put into
the churn as soon skinned the first skim
ming having handful of salt stirred in, the
mass being stirred at each subsequent skim
ming, till enough is obtained for ten lbs. of
butter.

CURRA>T JELLY.-Pick fine, red. but long

TIE POWER OF Growing TREE.-Wal-
ton Hall had at one time its own corn mill
md when hat inconvenient necessity no lon
ger existed, the milestone was laid in the
orchard and forgotten. The diameter of the
circular stone measured five feet and half.
while its depth averaged seven inches through
out its central hole had a diameter Of eleven
inches. By mere accident, some bird or
squirrel had dropped the fruit Of the filbert
tree through the hole on the earth, and in
1912 the seelling was seen rising up through
that unwOnted channel. As its trunk gradn-
ally grew through this apeture and increased,
its power 20 raise the ponderous mass ofstoae
was specialized on by many. Would the i'll
bert tree die in the attempt? Would it
burst the milestone, or would it lift it? In
the end the little flbert tree lifted the mill
stone, and in 1868 wore it like crinoline
about its trunk. and Mr.. Waterton used to
sit upon it under the b anching shade

ARE THE SALTS OF MANURE LOST BY Fill
TRATIoN PROF. Way says, as the result Of
his patient experiments, that the salts of am
mona will not fitrate through clay; but
that much of this fertilizer in solution will
escape through a slicious sand. This might
induce belief that sandy soil loses by
teaching but while silicious sand contain s
no aIuminous earth, a sandy soil rarely con-
tains less than ten per cent. of alumna,
which is all sufficient to enable the soil to
hold less organic matter until it is absorbed by
the roots of growing plants. sandy soil
that will not form crust after a shower, I'M
doubtedly loses some of its nascent ammonia
which passes off from the lose surface in the
form of gas, but when in solution the soil
retains it for the use of plants.
