The offerings OF wheat, both cash and fut-
ures, were large. The tables were well COW
cred with samples, and No. 2 cars were held
as high as on Saturday, but No. l went 1c or
about that lower. The reason of this was
that No. was in more demand on outside Or
ders than the other grades, and was easier to
sell to local buyers than the others were. A
large part OF the samples went over unsold.

Canine Reason.

S. N. Maxcy, of Gardiner has a
black .and-tan dog which is very in
telligent. He has all the accomp-
lishments a common dog has, and
knows several things beside. The
screen door of the house opens out,
ward, and Dick can open it from
the outside, pulling it with his teeth.
The other day he approached the
door with "A bone in his mouth. He
couldn't open the door while he
held the bone, and if he couldn't
have the bone he didn't care to
open it. He looked at it minute,
then laying the bone down near
the door, pulled the door open and
went in lie then turned and
pushed the door wide open, and be-
fore it could swing to again, had
grabbed up his bone and got in
side.

Summer And Winter Feeding.

1t is customary when cattle are
turned out to grass in the spring to
let them feed on this succulent food
until nature dries it up in the fall.
1t makes good, succulent beef, but
is it not too succulentf Does it af-
ford as much nutrition, pound for
pound, as hay, grain, and root, or
ensilagefed beef We suspect not
The bowels of the cattle are always
loose, showing that there is a su.
perabundan ce of water and imper.
feet digestion. Is the animal qnite
healthy
Now, i'll winter, we find that all
dry feed is not as good for cattle as
that which is relieved by one feed
ing day of some kind of succulent
ration. The bowels of the cattle
get too costive. The droppings are
hard, showing lack of water and
teverish condition. The succu.
lent food relieves this May it not
also be true that all succulent food
in summer is not so good as IA mix
ture with dry feedi Throw lock
of dry hay to your cattle in pasture
and see how greedily they will de-
YOUR it. Does not this indicate a
need of dry feed. Would it not re-
gulate that extremely loose condi-
ton of the bowels9 And would it
not make the meat firmer and more
uutritious' In the light of reason,
it would seem so. Is not the idea
worth "A fair experiment.
Some may say that grass is the
natural food of cattle. So it is, in
their natural state; but where they
can live without the aid of man, the
feed is not the same as with us.
Our animals are in an artificial con
dition. The. live on comparatively
dry feed half of the year. Their
systems are not wholly adapted to
all green feed. Besides, our grass.
es are cultivated ones. We are
long way from wild nature in many
things. This should always be
borne in mind. We think the sum
mer and winter feed ought to more
nearly agree, and not be quite so
succnlent in summer, nor so dry in
winter.-NafiOndl Lire Stock Jour.

Curing Clover Hay.

Again we would call the atten-
ton of farmers having clover hay
to make To the necessity of using
every means to secure it in its best
condition. Glover hay, when prop
erly cured and taken care OF, is one
of the finest articles of forage that
con be grown,i but when poorly
made and musty is not tit for IA
horse to eat. Now, while it is true
that very much depends on the
weather, yet it is equally true that
good clover hay may be made al
most any year. 1t is impossible,
however, to make good clover hay
without having two clear days in
succession unless you provide your
self with waterproof caps. But
say you have two fair days in sue
cession from the time you com
mence cutting-and which should
be when about one half of the heads
are turning brown-the mower
should be started as soon in the
morning as the dew is off, and kept
running until you have barely time
to put it all in winrow before night
the larger the winrows the better
as they hold more heat, and it is
the heat that does the curing While
IN rinr0cs.
When the crop has been cut with
the hot sun shining thereon for a
few hours, it will have absorbed
heat enough to cook it during the
Light. Then in the morning as
soon after breakfast as possible the
winrows should be gently loosened
up with forks to allow the air free
access through them until noon, by
which time the hay will be ready to
put in the NOV. 1t is better, un-
less rain is very imminent, never to
put clover hay into cock, but haul
it in direct from the winrow. The
curing is then done in the winrow
over night. No salt should ever be
used on clover hay, especially when
putting away in the NOV. Salt
draws moisture from the atmos-
phere, and as a consequence will
cause the hay the more read ly to
heat and become musty.
1t is always best, however, to
have waterproof caps on hand in
case you should find necessity for
using them, in which case good
bright clover hay can be made in
almost any kind of weather. TO
make them, waterproof material is
of course the best, but unbleached
coarse cotton will answer the pur,
pose almost equally well. If made
of the latter, procure it five feet
wide, i. e., sheeting cotton; tear it
intoI five feet lengths, and with a
sewing machine, hem in IA good
stout cord along each edge leaving
a small loop at each corner. Then
make four pins, some eighteen
inches in length, of any kind of
hard wood for each cap, and, after
adjusting these coverings in place,
pin down each corner securely to
the ground, to remain so until all
danger of rain is over Baltimore
San.

which is now i'll the hands of the
printer. Everything points TO "A
larger exhihi than III any former
wear. The bringing OF the entire
exhibit together on the Park gives
universal satisfaction, save perhaps
To few IL and about Lewiston, and
will doubtless result in an increased
attendance. DR.. Twichell, of the
Maine Farmer, proposed a pro-
CRANE for the evenings during the
week which WAS at once acc opted.
Il was in the form of meetings for
each evening upon stock breeding
and dairying, orcharding, breeding
and diseases of horses, with adj
dresses by leading representative
men in each department, and a
chance be given the farmers to dis
cuss each topic. This, is believed,
will result in not only good to all,
but add greatly to the interest
among the class for whose benefit
the exhibition was first inaugurated.
Special individual premiums will he
offered by each one of the trustees
with IA view To calling out increas-
ed exhibits of milk and butter pro
ducing COWS, the tests to be made
on the grounds during the fair.
