petition in bankruptcy was filed on Satur-
day in the United States District Court

resenting $60O,00 The total secured in
debtedness is about 81 100000.
Failures.
Disosway & Hatch, leather dealers, have
suspended. No statement of their affairs
has yet been made. The failure was owing
to loss by fire of their tannery at New Mil
ford, Pennsylvania, and to bad debts during
the year amounting to $4,000.
Oscar Deke, tea and spice merchant also
suspended. 1t is thought the suspension is
only temporary.
s. Benedicks s. Co. made an assignment
for the benefit of their creditors.
Archibald Baxter g. Co., who recently
failed, were yesterday censured by the
board of managers of the Produce Exi
change for conduct inconsistent with the
just and equitable principles of trade in
connection with their suspension.

Seed Corn.

1t may not be too late to. call the
attention of farmers again to the sub.
iect of seed corn. When corn attains
to full perfection and is dry before
frost, and is kept in 4 place to re-
main so, no ordinary freezing, such
as mercury 40 deg. below zero, will
iniure it. But when considerable of
the water or vegetation remains i'll
the corn or cob until it is frozen to
ice, even at 4 moderate temperature,
it Is certain destruction to the germ.
Therefore, If seed corn is not thor
oughIy iry-corn and cob--remove
it to some dry and warm place until
if is dry. Next spring there will be
MOI c complaint and 4 greater search
ty of good seed corn than Iowa has
experienced in several years. And Il
few hours spent now will save weeks
next spring may save crop, and
may save the owner from bankruptcy.
At no time since 1857 have we seen
more necessity for prompt and care
full attention to this subject. Seed
corn sent to us from regions further
south late next year, will be sure to
produce disastrous results, as it al
ways has done: The com is thus
planted later than usual, and of q
variety that takes weeks longer to
mature than the reliable kinds we
have been using. See to it now
State Register.

Some COWS settle this question tor
their owners, and such, unless they
are fine, large animals and calf rails
ing is the chief use Of the COWS,
should be fattcd and killed at four or
FIVE years old or sold. AS general
rule, it is poor COW that does not
need to be dried off before calving.
AS to how little milk pays for the
trouble Of milking, that depends up
on the number of cows and the
amount required for family use or
sale. Ii the milk is wo tn four or five
cents quart, it will pay to milk
every COW that will average two
quarts day; if less than that quanti-
ty is obtained l would advise to sell
off the COW.
The practice of half-feeding dry
cows is poor system. All cows
that are worth keeping should be
well kept; and any animal with
young should BE- as well fed as when
giving milk, though the food need
not to be as rich oleaglnous, as when
the milk is set for cream or used tor
butter-making.~ The rapid taking-on
of flesh at this period is an indication
of sound health.
If you expect to have fine calf
stop milking at all events six weeks
before the COW will come III again
Some cows will give milk the yeal
round if you allow them, and it il
hard to dry them before they make
bag anew, but this should always bs
done. 1t will he found profitable tc
feed cows well, and curry twice :
week thoroughly. s.

Buchanan County F. ir.

The Buchanan County fair at In
dependence this fall was in many re-
spects the best ever held in that
place. While the show of cattle was
not 40 large rs it should have been,
owing to some misunderstanding
which will doub less be avoided in
the future, other kinds of stock were
on exhibition in larger numbers than
ever before. Swine especially made
a big show. The interest in import
ed breeds of swine is now very great,
and there are several breeders who
are leaving nothing undone to get
the best that can be had. From the
list Of premiums awarded rs publish
ed in the Independence BULLETIN,
we CLEAN the following items:
TIE first premium on best stallion
over four years old WAS awarded to
G. E. Benson, $40. Best stallion for
trotting to A. Risely, S20.-Fne

Questions for Dairymen.

Every dairyman should have a
printed list of questions posted IN
some suitable place on his premises.
where his family and those in his en-
ploy, as we'll as the visitors, will have
opportunity to read frequently. We
give some of them but the list can be
extended:
Do your COWS feed in swamps and
on boggy lands?
Have you good sweet running
water convenient for stock, and is it
abundant and permanent in hot dry
weather? ....
Have you shade trees in your pas
ture, or do you think that COWS make
better milk while lying down to rest
in discomfort in the hot, broillng
sun?
Do you use dogs and stones to
hurry up the COWS from pasture at
milking time, thus overheating their
blood and bruislng their uddrrs?
Do YOU cleanse the udder of cows
before milking by washing their teats
with their own milk and practice
urther economy by allowing amy
dropplngs to go into the milk pail?
DO you enjoin upon your mixers
to wash their hands thoroughly be-
fore sitting down to milk, or do you
think that uncleaniness in this re-
spect is not important tor milk that
is to he treated for butter making?
When a COW makes mis-step
while beng MIXED, do you allow
Your mixers to kick her with heavy
boots, or TO pound her over the back
and sides with a heavy stool, accom-
panied by sundry profane remarks
addressed to the COW to teach Der
better manners?
Is the air about your "milk barn" or
milk house rveking with foul e,Man-
ations OF the pig sly, or manure heap,
or other pestiterous odors2
Good, fresh, clean, water, and III
abundance, is one of the most imp0r-
tant requisites for milch COWS, and
it should be in convenient places
where stock will not be required to
travel long distances to Stake their
thirst. II springs and running
streams cannot be had ir pastures,
good we'll with wind mill and
pump, makes an efficient substitute
and the waste water laay, if necessa-
nv, be conducted back :uto the we'll,
so as to keep a constant supply of
good. fresh water,- tPilIaras' Yttt7

November Notes.

Put the new mower in the barn /!
Don't allow the reaper to remain out
all winter! 1t will injure it more
than years use. There is hay
rake left where the boy finished the
swath. If you haven't a barn to put
them in, build a cheap shed. 1t will
pay!
Now is the time to pick up all the
farm tools, small rs well sas large.
Hoes, shovcls, spades, neck-lyokes
and smaller implements are lying
about, unless you are different from
the majority Of farmers. Gather
them, clean, oil them and put them
away in a dry place, or the SHOWS of
November will cover them and you
will see them no more till Spring.
Listen Do you hear that south
wind whistle? 1t is warm. "What
OF it?" Why, sir, that south wind
will soon come from the north. Do
you know why the wind whistles?
There are cracks in your barn through
which it comes. That is the cause
of the whistling. Your horses and
colts will suffer and lose flesh on ac-
,unt of it. Your corn crib is not
large this year. You can save corn,
and surely will sleep better nights, if
you stop those cracks.
You have ten nice calves. Now
don't make them lie in the snow all
winter without any shelter. / know
others will do it, but Jou shouldn't.
1t is wick; not good for the
calves or you either.
Arc you looking out for the seed
corn for next year! No! Then
attend to Immediately. Put a box on
behind the wagon while gathering
corn, and select the large, handsome,
well-tilled ears. 1t acM take \ little
time, but, my word for it, it aciUpay.
Put these nice ears where they will
keep dry, and next year you can
plant early and not need to re-plant.
Corn which is allowed to remain in
large crib all winter, often heats,
and can't be depended upon for
seed.
Don't forget to bank up about the
house before the ground freezes and
snow falls.
The long nights will soon be upon
us. Kerosene lamps will begin to
explode, and women and children be
burned. Now, my friend, just buy
kerosene lamp which can be hung
in the middle of the sitting room.
over table, and then use candles
for carrying about. 1t may prevent
a fire. Progressive Furmer.

Tho SkinRint Family.

He was determined to be a rich
man, he was; yes, sir, rich man!
The almighty dollar was the measure
of value to him; and he was not a
lazy man either. He would work
from sun to sun if he was only sure
Of that little dollar at night. Yes,
and he did work hard for many long,
hot summers, and cold dreary win
tiers. He saved all his money, for he
never needed to spend any. He new
or bought any books, read any paper,
or even went to town, because, you
see, he was determined to be rich
And after q while he bought farm.
And then he married a woman just
like himself. A grabbed old skin
flint sic was too. She mixed lard
with the butter because it was cheap
er, and when salt was two cents a
pound she sold tin butter for
twenty-five, and decent people won
dered why she nut SO much salt IN
her butter. She fed the children on
whey SO she could make cheese, and
then wondered why they were so life
less and weazen faced. But then
they were "rich"-so thought they.
They owned lots of land and cattle
and hogs and horses-and then the
neighbors-some Of them, said cold
Skinflint was rich, II he acas mean
md stimgy." To be sure his house
had but two rooms. The kitchen
had two beds in it, and the boys,
girls and hired men all slept in the
s'lott." There wasn't a decent chair
in the house, nor whole dish on the
table; but what did that amount to 80
long as oid .Skinti~t ,ous rich? The
pig-pen was in front of the honse
and the little pigs got their swill from
a "mice httIe trough by tile door
step, 1t is so humdy, goa hmoac," said
old Mrs. Skinfint. as she poured out
the thick milk, while seven hungry
little Skinfints looked greedily on.
The children didn't go to school,
ooh no, can't spare them in harvest
tlmc," said old Skinflint. And then
he could not spare them III corn
husking. or in corn planting. And
in winter he could not raise money
to get them decent clothes for school;
"You see, boys, l must raise two
thousand dollars to make the next
payment on that last piece of land"
SAID the old heather, rs he counted
over roll Of bills any one Of which
would have purchased clothes enough
to put the children in plight for
school. There were two books in
the house. One was Peter Cart
rights Autobiography and the other
small Bible. The first they took
from book agent in payment for a
nights lodging. The agent grun-
bled at the price because be had moth
ing but corn bread and bacon tor
breakfast, and had to sleep between
two hired men. And the old woman
never could forgive herself for NOT
making the agent pay cash. The
grown up daughters never went any,
where, poor things, for truly, they
chad nothing to wear" The old man
died, and two OF the boys grew up as
mean and close listed as the old man,
while the other three developed into
the most reckless spendthrifts, much
to the disgust of old Mrs. Six ndint
who never ceased to replne over her
boy "SontiUel, aoho spent more money
Tor 6oohs md ssch rumye-y than
my oM ,aa" eoer did for ter6ucker."
