Farmers are doing quite business
these fine spring days trading and dicker-
ing in steers and oxen, which are high and
in demand as well as new mich cows.
Yearling steers bring from $50 to $40.
and two-year-olds from $50 to 800. Cat
tie which girth from six to seven are
held all the way from 800 to 5000. ae-
cording to how they are matched. their
weight, flesh and general appearance.
Some heavy beef cattle sell even better
than $500. These figures of course do
not refer to fancy or imported cattle.
An editor of one of our city papers said
in connection with the fact that several
farmers sons had made application for
the position of attendants at the Insane
Hospital Better remain on the old farm.
boys. with father and mother" We should
be very happy to know why the editor who
made this remark did not stay on the farm
with father and mother instead of entering
into printing office at II years of age.
Truly il is satisfaction to see people
practice what they preach. We believe
that a Young man should farm it If he
wishes TO, otherwise do whatever he can
do at the best advantage.
Question: Will the Journal please inform
me how witch grass may be destroyed on
rocky, shallow soil without too much expense,
deep ploughing being ont of the question?
F.N.
Answer: There are several methods of
eradicating this pest from the soil. all of
which are more or less potent. One way,
and the most laborious, is to bodily dig out
the roots of the grass with potato digger
or fork. Summer fallowing it is said will
also destroy this grass. But the most ef-
ficient plan and one which we can recon-
mend is to plant the afflicted land to fod-
der corn, several years in succession.
The corn should be so thick as to thorough
ly shade the ground.
The importations of white beans this
season, chiefly from Germany. Italy and
France, are unprecedented in the history
of the trade receipts, reaching hundreds of
thousands of bushels. The demand has
been almost as unlimited as the supply.
and notwithstanding the large receipts.
continue good. Ii is understood that they
give very fair satisfaction. The bulk of
these imported beans are not of as good
quality as the domestic article, not being
so bright in color or so uniform in size :;
but all are said to possess very good cook
ing qualities In previous years there
have been importations of beans from
time to time, but nothing nearly approach
ing the magnitude of this season.
