would here say that much of the trouble
consists in not knowing just when that
point has arrived, for some are so
anxious to get the top-notch price, they
hang ON till that time has passed and
are willing to sell for comparatively
low one. When it has reached pay
ing figure, which every farmer should
know, then sell freely.
As a rule, home markets will gener-
ally return larger average profit on
small fruit than will distant markets

Fattening Stock In Winter.

1t is patent to all who have made live
stock a study, that one of the indispen-
sable conditions to success is that they
be kept both dry and warm. That is,
they should not be exposed to storms of
rain nor the freezing winds of winter.
1t is well known that animals cannot be
successfully fattened in winter, nor can
they be made to more than hold their
own even under the best feeding, I'M
less they be provided with good warm
quarters in stables, or the equivalent in
well-covered sheds, where the wind
may not reach them. Even where
good sheds are provided, the stock is
checked and does not gain flesh during
the prevalence of storms, and very oft
en- with the greatest care, animals dur.
ing such periods will lose flesh, despite
the efforts to prevent it.
To keep the animal economy intact,
a certain quantity of food is necessary.
All the animal eats over and above the
quantity necessary to supply waste,
goes to increase the original weight. Il
it takes bushel of corn to keep up the
animal heat and waste daily, and a
bushel is all the animal can consume
then the feeder loses daily the bushel Sc
fed If bushel of corn worth forty
cents be capable of making eight pounds
of flesh, worth five cents per pound
and the bushel makes this eigh
pounds over and above the ANNA
waste, the feeder saves the value of thu
manure, and the difference in transpor
tation, of, 8 Us. so pounds to market
He also saves the difference in the valu'
of steer weighing, say 1,200 pound
in ordinary flesh, and worth three cent
per pound, and, the fattened one
weighing 1,400 pounds, and worth fiv'
cents per pound fat. this would amour
to S34, and would pay for feeding
eighty-five bushels of corn. In thi
case, to make all come out right, thu
eighty-five bushels of corn must hav,
produced 200 pounds of gain or near
ly two and third for each bushel fed
As rule, stock fed in the fields in
crease but little if any during winter
100 pounds gain to the steers is yer,
good one. In stables, where the con
veniences for feeding are good, 20'
pounds and over may easily be laid on
unless the season be exceptionally un
toward; and, here again, the disabilit.
will act with greater force out of door
than in.
The principal question is, Will it pa.
better to feed out of doors, where thu
stock are subject to storms, in an
event? Decidedly no; shelter of SOM
kind is essential to success. Goot
sheds, protected by timber, will keel
out rain, and also cold to good de
gree For the prairie, the need of arti
fetal shelter is more pronounced. Ther
they must be made both wind and rail-
proof. Then, with water in abundance
stock may be successfully and econom
ically fattened, with corn at average
Western prices. But, the greater tn,
value of corn. the greater the economy
or increased shelter.-Praiyie Farmer

Marketing Grain and Produce.

1t is not an unreasonable assertion to
say that about one-half of the profits in
farming consists in knowing just how,
when and where to market produce. A
and b may be neighboring farmers;
they have farms of about the same size
and with but little if any difference in
the number of acres titled each year
and the condition of those acres; yet
while A sums up at the end of the year
quite snug balance of profit, B has
but very moderate cash balance as the
result of his years labors. The crops
may have been equally good and har-
vested properly, yet the net proceeds
were widely different. A discovered by
consulting the market reports in the
papers, and by keeping his eyes open
in other directions, when and where to
send his grain, etc. He took pains to
ship only in the best condition and real
lied only the best market prices, while
his freight bills were only what he
would have had to pay on the same
quantity of poor produce. B was igno-
rant of all this.
In regard to grain, we think that in
most cases it pays best to feed most if
not all the grain (wheat excepted) on
the farm, and ship it in the form Of
meat. Even If you do not receive any
more for your meat than will barely
pay you for your labor of feeding and
what you would have gotten for your
grain, still you are making very nice
profit on the large quantity Of rich
manure which you have made during
your feeding; 1t is right on the place
where you want it, without the trouble
and expense of hauling 1t q long dis
lance, which is often done. You are
thus losing nothing on your grain and
are annually enriching your farm,
which should be the object of all
farmers.
If one farmer holds his wheat until q
big rise in the markets (Which may
never Gomez, and another one sells IS

period Of ten years. and . strict account
be kept of the same by each, it will be
found that the latter one has realized
the most for his wheat, for he suffers no
loss BY shrinkage, by rats, in interest.
etc., as undoubtedly does the former.
We have known some farmers hold ON
their wheat for several months, in some
cases borrowing at : good round rate

then at last be forced TO eel at much
lower rate than they could have gotten
