WHEAT sw,NoLeRs !,
The Latest Scheme for Extracting Money
From CrHdulous Farmers. 9.9f

The Latest schcme for Extracting Money
From CrAdulous Farmers. 3.9f
A new scheme for the sale Of red
wheat has been started in Ohio, and is
likely to be spread all over the country.
So farmers should be on the lookout
for the swindle. A has procured ma
chinery by which he separates the large
from the small grains Of wheat. The
agent or swindler takes the large wheat
and goes to the farmer and represents
to him that it is a new kind, of grain,
and that it is raised by drilling in rows,
and cultivated like corn. The fellow
also represents some firm who make
new kind Of cultivator, just the nipple.
ment for cultivating this new kind OF
wheat. The agent is very modest in the
price Of this grain. He asks only thirty
five dollars per bushel, and in making
sale agrees to pay his farmer custo-
mer fifteen dollars per bushel for one-half
Of his next years crop raised from this
seed. After procuring the farmers note
for the seed wheat at thirty-ive dollars
per bushel, he goes on his way seeking
his next customer. To consummate the
scheme, in a few days q partner Of this
man calls on the victim and inquiries Of
him if he has bought any Of that new
kind of cultivated wheat. His answer
in the affirmative. Swindler No. 2 offers
to contract for all the farmers next
years crop raised from the seed he has
just bought, agreeing to pay $l5 per
bushel. The farmer first informs him
that the other man had offered to take
one-half his crop. But after a little
urging and by No. 2 offering to pay five
dollars on the contract, the farmer
thinking bird in the hand worth two
in the bush, accepts the last offer and
signs contract agreeing to sell Swim
der No. 2 all his next years crop. of
cultivated wheat at fifteen dollars per
bushel. Swindler No. 2 is then ready
for the next victim.
These parties are now operating their
scheme in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, and will, no doubt, before
spring, be in every wheat-growing State
in the Union. Look out for them. -

FATTENlNG CATTLE.
The Amount of Water Which Should BE
Given to Beef Animals.

Given to Beef Animals.
As land becomes dearer and the de-
mand greater for beef to supply the
rapidly increasing population, every
means of raising and fattening cattle
cheaper will have to be resorted to.
Germany, where they always make ex-
periments carefully and thoroughly,
have been trying to ascertain just the
right amount of water to give to fat
tenng cattle for the greatest develop
ment of flesh and fat. The scientific
experimenters contend that too large
quantities of water given to such ami
mails with their food or before or after,
increases the elimination of carbonic
gas, which binders the formation OF
fat. They claim that this question
should be carefully investigated by
cattle feeders, to ascertain just how
much, and no more, is needed to quench
the thirst, and to dilute to suitable
degree the food of the animal Feed.
ing for beef is different from feeling
a horse or COW. For the former food
is given to sustain life and produce
solid flesh and muscle. hence if water
in any way, by the production of car.
bonic acid, prevents the accumulation
of fat, it is all right In the case OF
cows, they should have pure but not too
cold water, without measure or stint.
1t is absolutely necessary for a plenti.
full production of milk. And it has
been pretty clearly demonstrated that
if the water is warmed, it causes a
much larger flow of milk.
The question of how much water
should be given to fattening cattle,
is worthy of consideration, and those
who have time and opportunity, ought
to experiment on il, and give the re-
suits to the world. 1t is evident that
the day of large and easy gains on a
few steers, carelessly fed, have pas sed
by, and economy will, in the future,
be one of the prominent virtues on the
farm. All of the domestic fertilizers
will have to be carefully saved and
used, and all of the coarse fodder, as
well as grain, will have to be more
wisely used, and it is probable there
may be something worthy Of considers
ton in the, amount of water which
should be given to fattening cattle. -
