a fine display Of twenty five English Shire

also showed twelve head Of Holstsin cat
tie, taking nine prizes on same. Their
prizes footed up something near 500, in
Guiding sweepstakes on Cleveland Bays.
The large displays of live stock at the
leading shows are a very significant indi-
cation OF the growing strength Of the i'm
proved stock interest among the farming
classes. There is a great deal said about
farmers being skeptical and slow to appre-
ciate the advantages which are SO lavishly
extended by enterprisins breeders, and a
good deal of this is true. But at the same
time it is evident that the idea of improve
ment is everywhere making its way, and
that on all sides the number of improved
animals is steadily multiplying, and there
is every reason for the friends of improve
ments to be satisfied with the progress they
are making.-Breeder's Gazette.
1t strikes us that q good many farmers
are missing it by allowing their cattle to
become thin in flesh on account of short
pasture. the ground thus lost can not be
recovered without the expenditure OF
double the feed that it would be required
to retain it. We cautioned against this
some weeks ago, and suggested that the
best use to make of the short corn was to
tide over this dry spell with it. And yet
only few days ago a farmer came to this
Office to ask if it was safe to feed green
corn to cattle. Certainly it is safe. but
not to give them full feed at once. Give
a stalk at a time for a day or two and
then increase, and in all feeding use good
judgment and common sense.-IoTa Home

Stradixarius violins.

The Swans Song" famous and
genuine Stradivarius violin, which
dates from the year 1887. has just been
sold in Paris for the sum of 1900
francs. Stradivarius was forty-three
years old when he made this much-coy-

known in the musical world. the late
NJ. de Sainte-Senoch, whose three other
violins by the same author also fetched
fabulous prices. One, dated 17O4. was
sold for ESQ; an alto violin of the
year 1928 went for ESQ. and lastly, a
violincello of the year 1896 was bought
at f436. Their former proprietor gave

FARM NOTES.

The Crawford (AIich.) Crescent has on ex-
hibtion winter beet weighing over fifty
pounds.
Cotton seed was formerly thrown away,
but it is now valued ir producing oil and
for cattle food.
Some farmers in Finney County, Kan.
have produced as high as SIS worth of
alfalfa per acre this year.
Owing to the dry weather in Kansas this
year, hay will be very scarce this winter in
certain portions of the State.
It is estimated that 10000 worth of hay
l.ns been cut this year within a radius of
8. hit miles around Centerville, Oak.
There is 10000 acres of native meadow in
The San Luis valley, in Colorado. The
Ieat crop is estimated at 10000 bushels !;
oats, 10000; barley, $500; potatoes, 40,
0oO bushels; hay, 300, coo tons.
The average yield of $3.50 acres Of wheat
on the Grandin farm was ~ bushels and Is
pounds per acre. On the Mayville farm
1906 acres averaged p bushels and three
pounds per acre.-Dakota Exchange.
Secretary Sims, of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture has received a col
lection of corn from Saline County which
is very fine in appearance. 1t is composed
of several ears of the two Dent varieties
and some Of the Bloody Butcher variety.
Many farmers who use seed drills to
plant wheat SOW the timothy seed at the
same time by the grass seed attachment.
If the seed-b is in the right condition this
method is advisable. But many prefer to
SOW the timothy seed by hand, or by ma
chimes made on purpose, and under or
binary circumstances this method is prob
ably the best. To insure an even seeding
it is best to SOW both ways across the field,
using half the seed ut each sowing.-Er-

have a bearing on the question Of wheat
prices. Russia is one of the largest wheat
producing countries in the world outside our
c~n, and is the principal rival of the United
States in the sales of this commodity in the
markets OF Europe. Tde reduction in Rus

insure a market for tue whole of the Amer

prices.-G ste- Democrat

of practical joke. They bought some
land on which an Irishman had q cabin
and three years lease. They gave
him $500 for his lease and agreed to
move his cabin to any place he might
designate. When the time came to re-
move the habitation he was asked
where he wanted it placed. ION the

THE REAL ESTATE BOOM.

The last weeks business Of the old year.
and the first of the new were the liveliest
among the real estate men that have been
known in this city for long time, and were
good enough to encourage operators and
dealers in the belief that while they have
reaped the benefits of q steady and active
demand for property during the past twelve
months, it is nevertheless expected that this
record will be materially improved ere the
close of 1886.
During the past month Frank Williams
s. Co. report having sold sixty lots in WASH
ington addition; Niederlander's force report
having sold $50, 900 worth Of property since
the boss went east, and the Lord only knows
what the aggregate sales for the last week
have been among all the dealers. and still
she booms livelier than ever. There are
many big stories told about the profits made
on real estate in the neighborhood of the To-
cation of the federal building. Among them
is one where . man bought lot for $500
and sold it yesterday for $1,000. That is the
way il booms in this city.
