October u OTk.

October work tells for all winter.
The final harvests of the year are often
the most important, and where so large
a breadth of grain is sown as is the
case in some sections, the farmers have
a busy time. The forehanded ones,
will. however. make time for a play
spell. for all hands to go to the fairs,
for which the long list in our Septem-
Der number, offers the opportunity with
in easy reach of almost every one.
Early husking of the corn crop, should
he pushed ahead in the colder parts of
the country. This is the most import
ant. because October weather is fav-
orable to the laying on of flesh. and soft
corn and nubbins, go as far now, as
hard corn will next month. We can
not have the soft corn, until we are
pretty well ahead with the husking.
Do not forget the value of charcoal in
the ration of fattening animals-cattle,
pigs aud poultry especially. Even sheep
and korses are benefited by it. Not
tha. 1t is, properly considered, fatteEing
food, but it aids digestion, keeps the
stomach and bowels in prime order, and
is not expensive. An ounce of preven-
tion is worth pound of cure, and on
this,principle, an ounce of chorcoal is
often worth bushel of hard corn.
Breeding and laying stock need ex-
ercise; refer to an article on this topic
in the September number. It is well
TO 60 over the harvest, and see just
what stock it is possible to winter well,
and sell the rest, no matter at what
sacrifice, unless you are willing to buy
feed.
This year at the East, and along rail-
way lines, hay is going to the high. 1t
is not now, hence there will be good
deal of stock for sale cheap.
1t will be good time to buy sheep

Bull calves, thorough bIeds, will be

FACTS ABOUT EGGs.-Five million
dozen of eggs are annually imported
from the Dominion, the greater portion
from Quebec and Ontario. The egg
import from Europe is also large, but
the hens of the Canadas are by far the
largest factors in this trade, and the
trade Increases every year. Eggs pay
no duty, and when we reflect that this
product comes from millions of humble
sources-the poultry yards of small
farmers-and that it is only the surplus
goes to market, we may we'll wonder
where and how the billions of eggs con-
sumed in the United States are pro-
duced. 1t is an interest that may be
rated at many tens of million dollars.
Y ct it is not among the enumerations
of the National Census. Let us hope
the next census, the eleventh, will coy
er this important field. 1t is probable
that the egg consumption of our fifty
five million inhabitants is not less than
three billion year, at valuation of
from twenty-five to thirty millions of
dollars, There are egg trains on the
railroads of the northern frontier, and
the cities and villages of New England
draw most of their eggs from the border
to which they are brought by the rail-
roads of Canada. The import of eggs
at OgdensbuTg alone, was valued at one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
the last fiscal year. AS many are en-
tered in several other collection dis
tricts at Buffalo, and in two districts
in Maine nearly three times this traffic
in imported eggs Is done. These eggs
are taken from the original packages,
carefully examined by candle OF lamp
light, and then Tepacked, the defective
ones being laid aside. If transportation
is not immediate, the eggs are placed in
cold storage warehouses, where the tenn
perature is a few degrees above freez-
ing, and there kept until shipped IT.

a dispatch from China the other day
gave some account of very heavy and
destructive rainfall in one of the pro-
vinces of the Middle Kingdom. 1t was
stated that 1922 inches were pre-
clPitated in "a hours, with the result
of flooding large tracts and doing much
damage. What fall Of 10 inches in
IA hours means may be realized from
the fact that l inch Of rain gives 100
tons of water per acre, or 10000 tons 20
the square mile. Ten inches, there
fore, gives 900 tons of water to the
acre and $4,000 tons to the square mile.
Yet the Chinese rainfall referred to is
by no means in the front rank of such
occurrences. For instance, Arago re-
ports that on October 8, 1927, no less
than 3O9 inches of rain fell in D hours
at Joyeuse. This was three times the
Chinese precipitation, and consequently
reached 5000 tons to the acre and l.
100000 tons to the square mile. Again,
on October %, 1860 waterspout broke
over Gibraltar, and BOIL inches of
water fell. This is nearly two-thirds
OF the average annual rainfall of New
York.
No such fall has ever been recorded
In England, though the rate of it was
| approached pretty closely on August 1,
lS46, when 3.12 inches fell in two hours
in st. Paul's churchyard. This was a
very heavy rain for the locality, for at
London fall Of more than ore inch in
"A hours IS rare. In the west of Eng
land, however, the precipitation is much
more abundant. Thus on July Is, 1875,
in Monmoutshire, $50 inches fell in "A
hours, and on June 30, 1881, at Seath-
waite, 4.8O inches fell in the same space
of time. The average annual rainfall
at the last named place, indeed, is 154
| lnches-a record not to be matched else
where out Oe tue tropics. We some
| times think New York has plenty Of
moisture, but Seathwaite beats us al
most four to one, and even Seathwaite
cannot hold candle-or perhaps we
should say rain gauge-to some other
places. The wettest parts of the globe
are naturally such as are exposed to
westerly winds blowing over extensive
ocean tracts, and depositing their moist

/ places are the Khasia Hills, in Assam.
with Cherraponga, where the annual
rainfall is, according to Scott, 400 in
ches, and according to Lyman, 900 in
/ ches. This would give precipitation
/ of So 900 tons to the acre, and 5000, 600
tons to the square mile. 1t represents a
body of water. in fact, SO feet in depth.
There is no such tremendous p-"oi->i

India come next, with Mahabulashma
which has respectable record of 260

in Java, with 150 inches, and Seath-
waite, England, runs it close with 154
/ inches. Bergen, in Norway, Sitka, in
Alaska, VaIdivia, in Southern Chill,
and a place in New-Zealand follow,
while Maranhao in Brazil holds its own
very sturdily. 1t appears that an eleva-
tiou OF about 900 feet above the sea
Level affords the most favorable coudi-
tiOns (otheI things being equa) for the
heaviest precipitations, for that is the

FALL FEEDING OF COws.-C0ws are
usually in calf at this season and there
fore!require careful feeding. The course
of nature at such period is for the COW
TO dry up and become fat. This is not
to the interest of the dairyman, who
wishes to prolong the milking season as
much as possible, and to ayoid having
the COWS in too high condition. High
condition encourages milk fever, and
many cows are lost by this frequent dis
ease, from too liberal or rich feeding at
an early stage of pregnancy. Besides a
high condition retards the developement
of the f9tus, which is starved by the di-
version of the nutTiment taken by the
dam, toward the production of fat in
her tissues. The food given should be
of kind that will produce flesh, not
fat for the young calf is never fat, and
consists of lean muscle and bone, with
scarcely any fat. The food should be
laxative, nutritious, easy of digestion
and not bulky. Bran is the best of all
foods for this condition of the COW, ar q
cotton-seed meal is the worst. A 0-nall
quantity of new process linseed meal
is excellent, and daily ration of roots
should always be provi6ou. All hard,
indigestible, bulky, fermented, sour,
moldy. smutty, g otherwise unwhole-
some food shoIld be avoided, rot only
for the sake of the COW, but for the well
fare Of tie calf, which may inherit a
tendeDcy to any disorder from which
the dam may suffer at this period, espe-
cially tendency to milk fever.-HEN-
