How to Enlarge and Improve the ordi-

Hovels for cows like Fig. are found

with a pump room and stable inclosed
on the ground floor, and is attached to
the grain barn instead of being separate.

cause of the extra convenience and
profit secured. The upper part of the
building has windows in the front and
rear for taking in hay. In some cases they
have been fitted with hay forks, carrier
and tracks. The lower part of the
howell is left open to the cow-yard on
one side and usually faces the south or
southeast. Two years ago was raising

Mortimer - Where are your folks,

Mortimer has an uncomfortable de-

that question before. However, moves
his chair up, and starts in on the din

makes wry face.

To Clear Out Moles.

These little pests are often of very
great annoyance to both farmers and
gardeners, and so far as Ihave been able
to learn the only means taken to get
rid of them is the tedious process Of
trapping, and this at best is only par
tial relief. 1 wish to make known
through your columns a much more
simple remedy, and one which l have
never known to fail, though have tried
it for many years. Like every thing
else that is given gratis, doubtless,
some will be found to deny or contra
dict the good effects of the remedy, but
before doing so beg fair and impair
tial trial for it. One pint of the seed of
the castor oil bean is sufficient to clear
any garden the size of an acre, for the
season, if properly dropped in their
runs, which is simply to thrust the fore
finger into the mole-hill and then drop
a bean there, which he will be sure to
eat Of next time ne comes along. Then
cover up the hole made by the finger
with bit of earth, chip, stone or clod,
SO as to make the run tight as before
and keep out the light. This plan will
be found thoroughly effectual in every
garden. 1t is not quite so satisfactory
in grass lands, because it is often diff
cult to find all their runs in the grass.
Also in planting corn in fields where
this pest abounds, if seed be dropped
occasionally in the field along with the
corn, the mole will eat the bean in pref
erence to the corn, and as sure as he eats
it, that is the last Of him.-Ohio Farmer

Go little easy on corn fodder and
other coarse carbonaceous foods. If you
can not give grain, feed little choice
hay TO your COWS. They get enough
frosted grass and other carbonaceous
materials, says a contemporary. They
need wheat bran, shorts, middlings,
bean meal, barley meal, crushed oats,
or something of this more concentrated
and heterogeneous kind of food.

September at 63l2@83ssc when July was

A little uneasiness was felt for the condi-

CHICAGO, June 19.-The wheat market,
after weak opening at 65s4c for July, ad-
vanced to S6&c, and closed at S6l9@969sc.
September closed at S71sc as compared with
S6l9c yesterday. and December S84c as
against S79Sc. The market evidenced symp-
toms OF reviving soon after the opening. July
sold before long at SEC, and inside of an
hour from the start the price was 66sSc. or
cent higher than it opened at. Hutchinson
was a liberal buyer on the advance, and paid
good deal of attention to the more deferred
futures, causing them, by reason Of his pur-
chases, to sell at higher premium over the
July delivery than has recently been the
case. There was nothing forthcoming at the
opening to encourage buying. The cables
were dull and quoted the English markets
generally tending downward and the
Cincinnati Price Currents usual weekly
report of the condition of the grow
ing crops of winter and spring wheat
was of rather bearish tendency, giving the
winter wheat general average condition as
slightly more favorable than on the week
preceding, and spring wheat as progressing
fayorably. There were reports from private
sources little later, however. which did not
quite cOinaide with the Cincinnati authority,
and these being about the same time supple
mented by advice from New York reporting
the taking OF some wheat for export which
had been offered by cable the previous even
ing, were the main contributions to the
strength already indicated The unfavora-
BILE crop news was the prevalence of rain in
Tennessee, Kentucky and Southern Kansas,
where the harvest is now in progress. and re-
ports from Minneapolis of rust developing
on the spring wheat plants. The
local crowd was short, and the good
buying which they saw going on
around them quickly induced them TO recon-
slider their position and they quickly changed
front and chimed in with the buyers. The
advance was well sustained up to l O'Clock.

yielded trif1e, but closed with gains of l2@
