A farmer at Mortified offered his wheat
crop few weeks ago to merchant if he
would take 1t and give him the straw stacked
in good shape. The offer was not accepted,
and when the farmer came to harvest the
grain he found that it, would yield thirteen
bushels per acre.

For protecting the lawn during drouth it is
better to NOW closely and top dress with we'll

keeps the air from the roots and is apt to re-

feet long. some two inches in diameter and
should be driven in firmly to hold the weight

veniently by punching small hole in the

pense of fruit The commercial manures

the plants had made a start to grow, and

The OIeomsrgarine Bill.

The Oleomargarine bill having passed the
house with the senate's amendments-the
chief amendment is the fixing of the revenue
tax at cents per pounds, according to
latest reports, awaiting the presidents sig
nature. This it will probably receive within
the next few days and then we shall have
an opportunity of seeing how it works. The
intention of this bill is not, as some of its
opponents allege, to prevent the manufac-
ture OF olemargarine or butterine, but it
will. we trust, to great extent, compel
bogus butter to be sold under its true name
and disable it from entering into fraudu-
lent competition with the genuine article.
Good oleomargarlne is no doubt preferable
to bad butter, but we like to know what we
are buying. 1t is probable that in the
future counterfeit butter will take the
place of all but the good grades. The
days of butter-making Oh the
farm for market are number ed.
as the merchants are already beginning to
fight shy of farmers butter. This law. we
believe, will greatly benefit the whole
farming class. In the future, if farmers
will not run diaries themselves, or send
their cream to the creamery, they had bet
ter let the calves help themselves.
Most of the New England states, Ohio.
and indeed nearly every state, has either
passed, or has anti-oleo laws going through
the legislature. Denmark has passed an
anti-oleo bill, while in England and on the
continent stringent laws have been passed
to regulate the traffic in bogus butter In
fact, the public sentiment of the world,
apart from those who are viciously inter-
ested, is coming to an agreement as to the
necessity for legislation to protect the gen
uine dairy interest. In New York the
commissioner estimates the enforcement of
the new law has decreased the sales of

Fast-waIking Horses.

The attention of breeders will bear being
,alled frequently to the neglect OF teaching
colts and young horses to walk. The horse
lsed exclusively for racing purposes is the
only member of the family entitled to be
excused from well-developed gait at the
walk. The walking gait is the most i'm
portant for all other horses, and should be
The first gait developed and perfected by
:he trainer, and, after rapid, clean. strong
walk is acquired, the speed gaits should be
attended to, though very carefully until
they are brought to good degree of pro-
hciency. Horses may be made to attain
almost incredible speed at this way of 60
ing. if due care is observed. We have
known numerous road-bred horses that
would walk from four and half to five
miles in an hour without urging, and
many, i'll fact most well-bred road horses
could be taught to cover greater distances
than this in the same time if it were not

are in the harness and before they are really
bridle-wise. 1t may be good idea for
breeders of racing stock to put the colts to
the trot and run at the leading-strap even
before they are old enough to harness or
saddle, since the popularity of sales of
yearlings is increasing so rapidly, but for
the common breeder this is folly We
would get much better prices for the horses
we ship for the city buyers for carriage and
road purposes if we cultivated
the walk. Every farmers boy
knows that he can dc better
work-harrowing or working corn-with
fast walking team which makes the dirt fly,
than with slow one. The saving on a
farm when the horses walk three miles an
hour, or even when they walk two miles
and a half, is 20 per cent, or in other words
the fast team can rest whole day in the
week and yet do as much work as the slow
team--do it easier and. do it better. In
times as at present when the work is press
ing or the weather uncertain, the fast team
is treasure.
While every effort has been made to in
crease the speed of the trOtter. the draft
horse men have been working for pounds
with little regard either for muscle or walk
ing speed. 1t is very great mistake to
suppose that the draft horse can not be
trained to walk rapidly. We have been
breeding to Percheron for four years that
often walks nine miles in Gne hour and fifty
minutes over hilly road and his colts are
all rapid walkers. They are not as large
as some, but they are large enough to do
any kind of farm work easily and rapidly.
This rapid movement has been of very
great advantage to us in the last ten days
when it was desirable to get the corn
ground in. the best possible order in the
shortest possible time. Life is too short to
spend it in poking along after team that
cannot get their heads up. The lazy man
to whom exertion is burden. actually
works harder than the brisk, rapid worker.
Of course we are not advocating the trotter
or the roadster as the model farm
horse. They may be too fiery, have
too much of the trotting instinct for farm
work. The farm horse should have the pa
tienee and the logged persistence developed
by ages of service in that capacity; but he
should also have the tirelessness of move
ment that enables him to do it with the least
expenditure of effort and his masters time,
and do it in the best manner. We used to
handle all kinds of teams when a boy and
always found we could do the best work
with team that had the strength to do the
work easily at steady, lively gait. They
turned better furrow broke more clods
with the harrow, and did great deal better

the oad.-Wallace's Monthly.

In Central Minnesota all small grain is

It is expected that the yield will exceed
chat of 1885. The general average in
Southern Minnesota will be smaller. Crops
are short in the Red River valley, and
much damage has been done by hail storms.
In Northern Iowa stock is losing condition.
The harvest. which is over, was good ay-
erage one for small grain. Oats were
better crop than last year. Upto the pres
ent not much threshing has been done. On
The Iowa 81 Minnesota division of the Mil
waukee road the elevator men expect new
wheat in fair quantities this week. Alto
gether continued reports from Southern
Minnesota and Dakota, from all points on
the Winona & St. Peter road, are more en-
couraging. Flax is about half crop, the
late sown having proved failure
In most sections. Taking the entire
crop of Dakota at $1,000. 900 bushels in
1885, this years crop should total 16, 0O0.-
DOC bushels. Some large spectators
near Wahpeton, OAK, who hold all the
produce of their crops of 1884 and 1885
have, on examining the general yield, de-
cided on holding their grain for yet another
gear. Corn, which in Northern Iowa and
parts of Nebraska is looking well. in Min
nesota and Dakota will need rain to pre-
vent very considerable shortage. All
late planted corn throughout the entire corn
belt will fall short some 30 per cent. of the
average yield. Throughout the West and
Northwest the reports of the potato crop
indicate that it will be very inferior one.
English, French and Russian crops re-
ports are favorable. The amount of crops
i'll England is less than last year. The
English markets are likely to rise. Extensive
shipments are expected from India. The
product OF wheat in India for 1856 is
1926, CTS ions, as against s, 031. 067 in 1884,
S. or 3SS, $50 tons less. This is equivalent
to a little less than $4,000, 900 bushels,
which represents the deficiency of the In
dian crop as compared with last year.

WEAVING Pigs.

In weaving young pigs there is something
more to be considered than simply taking
Them away from the mother. They should
be weaned gradually For instance, take
them away from their mother half day at
time for few days, and then let them
only 90 to her for few hours, then only
one hour in the day, and finally keep them
altogether to themselves. By this method
they will not grow up stunted.
Taking pigs away before they
nave been taught to eat gives
them a check for some time, and every
farmer knows that while an animal is not
actually increasing in value he is loser.
No animal should ever remain stationary as
regards growth, but be pushed forward all
The time.

relief. The committee makes the following
oficiol statement:
I'm consequence of the drouth. which has
prevailed over a year, there has been an

Coleman county, unable by any means at
their command to procure seed wheat, re-
quire donations, at least 1000 bushels, to en-
able them to SOW the necessary area for the
ensuing year. Three hundred families, en-
brscing 1,650 persons, need immediate assist
ance in the way of provisions and are unable
to procure it by any means or exertions of
their own. The public at large is appealed
to to aid Coleman As7unty.
This circular is signed by the county judge
and all the county officials. Quite as bad a
state Of affairs exists in several other coun-
ties near Coleman. These may not be pleas
ant statements to send about Western Texas.
but they are true, and the worst feature is
that the people in the large cities and towns
are taking no steps to relieve the destitute

Water forthe Th,r,tv Plains

An association has been formed among
the cattlemen of the vast pastures lying
west of Corpus Christi, Tex, and the Rio
Grande for the purpose of sinking wells at
regular intervals. The undertaking is
gigantic, but the value of such wells can be
estimated at millions of dollars. A dozen
wells have already been dug and good water
found at an average depth of forty feet.
As the diggers get further west, it is calcu-
lated artesian wells will have to be sunk.
Leading cattle and sheep men of this section
regard it as only a question of few years
before the great focks and herds in the
Preside and far Western Texas will be
Watered by artesian wells.
