thing like full time. simp because
Of the limited demand forhsur. Now,
1t is certainty the amount OF wheat
produced throughout the valley this
last season is several hundred tons
short of the previous years product;
also, that there was but y small sur.
plus from the year before, and not
likely to be any at all from the present
crop, yet the market hangs fire at three
dollars per hundred, the lowest figure
at which flour has ever sold IN this
valley. There is another TACT that is
worth considering, and that is, that
many wheat raisers have avowed their
determination to limit their wheat
product this coming year to little if
any more than a sufficency for their
own consumption.
AS has been generally expected, and
ne general rule, the beginning of the
new year brought about quite change
of temperature. Up to the close of
last month, the winter was an exten.
ton of early Autumn, with hardly a
break; since then a sharp north wind
prevailing at times has caused freezing
nights, but the days are pleasant and
sunshiny.

machinery to his steam grinding and
wood working works. With Smith
Mizeuer, he is now putting in pair

meal. They expect to have the new
apparatus in operation inside of two
weeks.

FARM NOTES.

Sheep will eat nearly all kinds OF weeds
and may be made to do good service in
some fields. They should, however, always
be given a feed of grain at night.
An Indiana farmer advocates the cut
ting off of the tops of potato vines
when they grow too rank and states that
he has increased the yield by so doing.
All things considered the largest flow
Of milk is the most profitable unless it is
secured at too great expense. Reason
must be used as in all other things.
One of the greatest drawbacks that new
beginners in the poultry raising have is
the desire to crowd fifty chickens into
the space that about half that number
should occupy.
San Diego County, California, boasts
of tree which grows nowhere else in
the world. 1t is called the Pinus Torey-
ana, and is found only within a limited
area of the county.
The currant worm should be destroyed
while small with the dust of hellebore
or pyrethrum. The latter, being per-
fectly harmless, is to be more highly re-
commended.
Destroying a beetle is equal to killing
fifty grubs. When meadows become in
tested, it is well to turn in the hogs and
let them root. They VIII destroy thous
ands Of grubs.
To protect Watermelon plants from
bugs, a South Carolina grower recon-
mends charcoal dust, or coal kiln dirt,
busting about pint over each hill when
they are young.
1t is now generally believed that sol
ution of copperas is the best remedy
known for grape-rot. It is sprinkled
freely on the ground around the vines
and on the leaves.
Only knowledge Of bees, faithful at

Snake Charming.
London Globe.

AS for the SO called charming of ser
penis, 1t may be practiced by anyone who
from observation cOmprehends the move
ments of the reptiles and knows how far
to venture on familiarities. Confidence
and dextefity on the part of the Charm
er" can overcome fear and subtlety on
the part of the snake, which after all, is
only watching its opportunity to strike
or to escape. The jugglers understand
this vero well, and know how far they
can reach to strike. Keeping at a safe
distance, they irritate it just enough to
make it follow the movements OF their
hands, or the bit of bright cloth waved
before them, and which in point of fact
is shield to receive the bite should the
cobra attempt to strike. The snake has
risen and expanded its "hood," not for
any admiration Of the Haunted coIors or
for any enjoyment of the discordant din
which Is supposed to charm it, but, in
self-protection the better TO aim at its
tormenter. He is the best charmer,"
says DR.. Vincent Richards, in mis- valuable
work, Landmarks of Snake Poisoned
L1terture, who is most intimately con-
versant with the movements of the rep
tiles under varying conditions.

Turnip Pasture.

Our Country Home.
Few farmers Ill this country know the
value of turnip pasture. We generally
like to take things too easy to put in tur-
nips and gather them, although they will
help out wonderfully with the fattening
cattle and the sheep, and are most excel
lent for the young stock. Hardly a far
mer knows what nice mutton turnips will
make, and that turnips have made Eng
lish sheep so famous and the mutton so
superior. There is another use turnips
can be put to Of great Importance, to
make pasture or food after the frOsts kill
the grass, and even after quite cold wealth
er has come. On most every farm there
is field of run-out meadow or pasture,
which could be plOwed up and fitted in
August for turnips to feed off on the
ground. The land need not be plowed
deep, but it must be made mellow, and
well MANFRED on the surface either with
yard manure or superphosphate. The
seed may be sown, broadcast and covered
with a brush harrow Or by the rain. A
plot of ground well fitted in this way viii
afford large amount Of food, and be in
a most admirable condition for any kind
of crop to follow. We consider the tur-
nip pasture so valuable that we repeat the
suggestion. 1t is a more excellent plan
than summer following.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING.
The Crowd Was Disappointed.
Detroit Free Press

Sunday afternoon a man suddenly ap-
peared at third story window in an IN
finished building, on Grand River street
and seemed to begin preparations to
commit suicide by Ieaping to the pave
ment. crowd of forty or fifty people
speedily gathered, in half circle below,
and although all seemed to be aware Of
what was going on not voice was raised
to prevent the stranger carrying out his
designs. He removed his coat and LOOK
ed down as if estimating the distance.
Then he removed his vest and looked
down again. Some of the crowd asked
each other in low tones if his intention
was to jump, and were answered that
there was no doubt about it. The man
removed his collar and tie after his vest,
and then spit on his hands and took his
position square in the window, No one
below moved a foot. There was half a
minute of silence, during which every
body mentally calculated on the exact
spot he would strike, and something like
a shudder passed over the crowd. Then
the unknown spit on his hands once
more and raised them above his head,
and calmly remarked:
"My friends, this is to inform you that
I shall occupy this building Nov. with
large and well selected stock of staple
and fancy groceries. [ shall do a strict
