WHEAT AS A CATTLE FEED.

The Way in which Some Colorado Ranch
men Are Turning it Into Beef.
Wheat will be fed to stock this year
very much more generally than would
appear from ordinary observation. 1t
is healthy and productive Of good re-
suits when fed, from cattle down to
poultry. When chopped and fed to beef
cattle, for instance, it will cause them to
ID put on flesh rapidly ant thus return
two-fold in comparison with the ordi-
nary market price for wheat. Occa-
sionally farmer will be found who
AYERS that he can raise wheat proiitablv
at ninety cents hundred. 1t will be
seen, however, that such men have large
ranches, and raise. in most instances,
nothing else in any quantity. For an
ordinary farmer, then, it is much more
remunerative to feed wheat than sell it
at the price we have quoted An cx-
change says regarding this: A more
pressing point for farmers to consider
just now is the utility of making use of
great deal of their wheat crop at home
for stock-feeding purposes, instead of
pressing it on the market under the dis
advantageous circumstances now exist
ing. Wheat meal may be made an adj
mirable substitute for oil cake in fatten-
ing cattle and sheep; hence those
farmers who have been accustomed to
make heavy OUTLAWS in the purchase of
oil cake for winter feeding of stock will
act imprudently if they do not abandon
the system this year and fall back on
their heavy stock of home produced
wheat as a substitute. Wheat meal is
reckoned even better than barley meal
for pig feeding, and it would be econo-
my to keep back nothing but tail barley
for pig consumption this season, mar
keting the whole of the head corn and
making use of wheat largely for the pro-
ductiOn of pork. Prices of store pigs
have been low for some considerable
time and remain so at present Farmers
of an enterpriSing turn will take advan-
tage of this circumstance by buying
largely store pigs and converting them
into pork, chiefly by the consumption of
wheat meal.
In some instances the ranchmen have
organized and purchased feed mill, as
in the case of the Platte Valley Grange,
with results beneficial to all concerned
Wheat turned into beef is more protta-
bic than when sold to the millerS, and,
this being so, it requires no solomon to
decide as to the best manner in which to
dispose of il Colorado Farmer.

Many a city man will always be thank
full that he was born farmers boy.
Life on the farm has benciicent effect
on the character which cannot be at
tanned elsewhere Work is cnnobled by
the motive behind it, and every man
may find something in his work, how
ever humble it may be, which is worth
his best thought and energy. There is
abundant evidence in everyday life to
show that the best strength comes from
the boys and girls raised in the country
The population of the great cities are
recruited from the country, hence the
character of the people in those cities
depends largely upon the character and
training received in the country. Habits
of thought and observation, especially
concerning the objects in nature are
important in the buildiBg up and de.
velopment of character. There are many
odd moments which may be snatchcd
from actual labor on the farm and de
voted to thoughtful subjects which tend
to build up and broaden the individual

Lettuce is so hardy plant that

1t is well to have one or two late
matches of chickens. With a warm
place during winter they will be ready
to begin laying early in spring and will
continue laying later in summer than
those which hatch earlier, thus insuring
eggs during longer season.-N. Y

Larger growers have special houses, or

damp and cold weather, and fitted with
shelves and alleys between so that every

Delaware claims to have the laroes

Delaware claims to have the largest
grapevine in the world. 1t is on the
farm of Mrs. Chandler, in Christiapa
Hundred. The main trunk is about six
feet high, averages in circumference
sixty inches, and is siXty-seven inches
around the largest place. Some half
dozen branches issue from the trunk,
each of which is as thick as a man $
arm, and spreads itself for many yards
over and through the branches of sew
eral large trees that seem to have reared
themselves especially sfor the develop
ment of the great vine. The vine is of
the raccoon variety, and produces be-
tween twenty-five and thirty bushels of
grapes yearly.

in the eX-convent of San Francisco, in
Pueblo, Mexico. In the days of the con-

sequestered in this convent A priest
learned from Bishop Hlescas on his
death bed the existence of this treasure.
He, with Antonio Lopez, property
holder and who owned one of the lots
next to the church, spent considerable
money in the search, that has at last
been rewarded by the discovery of treas
ure of the value of 81 200, 900. The
priest will dedicate his half million to

by asking in very paternal and conde-
