local VI lark ETS
st. Paul,

There was considerable business on the
local board, the demand being for almost
everything on the list, including corn, hay,
eggs, feed and oats. Wheat was somewhat
stronger, and is quoted &c higher, with fair
demand for December No. hard. The dis
play OF samples was only moderate and prices
were Il little trmer, and a good part Of that
displayed was sold. Corn WAS scarce and
firm. There is none in the market, and it is
really worth 3Sc on track in car lots. Oats
are firmer, with very light receipts, and are
worth from &c to 2112c, according to value.
There is little change i'll hay, with consider
able coming in and now on track. The receipts
are fully equal to the demand. Choice wild is
worth S797.5O, and timothy $9D10. according
to quality. Other articles not much changed.

Our Sheep Industry.

Thomas McGraw, of Detroit, Mich,
writes to the Boston Advertiser as fol-
lows: The question is almost daily asked
of me by wool dealers as to where all the
wool in Michigan went to, and who got
it, as it disappeared SO soon from the
farmers hands, or seemed to, as all cal
culated to buy their usual amount. Com
mon rumor said it that the clip would be
less than last year, but no one in the
train believed it would be anything like
20 per cent or more short. | had no
figures which would lead me to believe
that the shortage would be more on the
clip of 1886 than the usual 5 or 10 per
cent we have had every year since the
last tariff reduction on wool of 10 per cent
ad valorem. 4 few days since [ wrote
the Secretary of State for the sheep sta
tistics as taken by the Supervisors of
each county annually. He was only able
to give me the returns from ten counties
which would be a fair average of the
thirty-fve wool-producing counties in the
State. In 1885 these ten counties had a
total of 743,881 sheep, while this year
they number only 663, 145, showing loss
of 1880. At an average of six pounds
per head. these ten counties would show
a shortage of Az, 546 pounds. At the
same average the other 25 counties would
show shortage Of 1,1O6,340 pounds, or a
total loss in the State of 1,548,8 pounds.
The number of sheep in Michigan had
increased steadily from the passage of
the great wool and wooden tariff of 1867
up to the reduction in the tariff few
years ago. Since this time the price of
wool has been so unsatisfactory to the
farmers that they have gradually reduce led
their flocks. The production of wool in
Michigan at the time of this reduction
of the tariff was upward of 100000
pounds, while this year it will barely reach
100000 pounds. What is true of Mich
igan is true of the entire United States,
SO it will be easy to calculate the great
shortage throughout the whole country.
I gave you these facts SO that manufuct-
urers and wool merchants may not be
misled.

Ventilating Stables.
Rural New York.

It is a singular fact that in nine-tenths
of the cases, the fresh air is let into the
stable at the rear of the COWS instead of
in front of them. The result is that the
cold air drops down behind the COWS in
the way to their heads, and sweeps along
with it the odors from the smoking
droppings, added to the constant exhala-
tions from the cows bodies, for them to
to lnhale at every breath. Some have
been argued that this is the correct way of
introducing pure, because animals turn
their tails to a beating storm. They for
get that the animals seeks to protect its
eyes, and to avoid strong current which
interferes with breathing, while its head
is still in the midst of plenty of fresh air.
The cases of a COW in a storm and COW
in stable are not the same. Any animal
closely confined will instinctively turn
its face to the light and its nose to the
fresh air. Usually there is some upward
draft in front of the COWS, but often there
is none, while few make free use of
absorbents and deodorizers. On enter
ing, the air is loaded with offensive effiu-
via and almost suffocating. And then the
diaryman wonders why his milk tastes
and smells of the stable.
No amount of careful milking and
handling of the milk will prevent this
mishap under such circumstances. The
Odors and fiavOrs which have been inhaled
by the COWS have mingled with their blood
and poisoned their bodies, and the milk
secreted from the blood is loaded with
these odors and f1avors before it is drawn
See that ventilation is perfect.
Which is the most convenient, to turn
your cows heads to the wall and feed at
the sides, letting the droppings gather in
a passage-way between them in the rear,
to be taken out in a sled or cart driven
through, or to have the COWS face togeth-
er, so that all are fed from a single pas
sage-way, while the droppings are scat
tered along the two sides, occupying twice
the space needed? Or do you want to
shovel them out through the window holes
in piles against both sides of the stable
to stand until they are drawn out in the
spring, when you are in hurry with your
work, or be left all summer rotting and
teaching, while your crops suffer for lack
of them? Would it not be better to put
the cows heads to the walls, giving them
the benefit of fresh air, with proper ven
tilation from their rear up through the
roof of the barn? Wouldn't it make the
cows healthier and the product sweeter?
Then would it not be better to have the
droppings all together behind and be-
tween the two rows of COWS, ond haul
them out at least once a day, either spread
ing them ''where they will do the most
good" Or piling them on your manure
heap, under the manure shed to rot?

FARM. HOME AND GARDEN,
TO DAISY.

There are daisies that grew in the garden
below.
Aud daisies that grow in the meadow;
White fringed, gold-eyed, with leaves ope'd
wide,
They bask in the sun S warm shadow.
Pink daisies there be, adown in the lea,
That nod in the waving grasses,
And seem TO greet the stirring breeze sweet,
Asever them all she passes.
But of all the daisies, in all the places
Where daisies are wont to be,
The sweetest that grows steps on ten slim
toes,
And she's Daisy enough for me.
The blue of the skies rests in Der tender
eyes;
She has stolen the peach blossoms bloom,
And the mesh of her hair is as silky and
fair
AS if woven from an elfings' loom.
Oh. daisies there be on every lea,
That nod and bloom in rhe sunshine:
But I'd give them all, could only call
This dearest and daintiest one mine.
