THE FARM.
Agricultural sotes.

Some of the most expert poultry
men occasionally feed their fowls tur-
nips in winter. They are not peeled,
but cut into quarters and thrown in
to the yard.
1t is poor policy to keep heavy,
slow motioned fowls in the
same flock with light and nervous
Spanish breeds. They each require
different feeding and treatment.
at is a general rule that any fod-
der likely to affect the odor or
taste of the milk will be less likely to
do so if fed mt milking time. 1t will
affect the milk then drawn and will
have time to become dissipated be-
fore the next milking
English farmers who feed so many
turnips and rutabagas combine with
this a good deal of oilcake and corn
meal. 1t is the latter that mainly
does the fattening, while the roots
enable stock to eat the heartier food
without injury to their digestion,
keep up good appetites and general
thrift.
The price of onions is lower this
year than for some time past. This

Milk grows in richness from date of
calving. and the product of butter
does not decrease as rapidly as the
quantity of milk This fact, also
makes it necessary (?) for the city
milkman to add more water to the
milk supplied to his customers at
this season. that it may not be too
rich for their blood.
Often dairymen are puzzled to
know why their butter has bad
flavor when they have been careful to
keep it from anything that would
faint it. The trouble is with the
salt. While the butter was carefully
guarded the salt was not, and it alb
sorbed odors which spoiled the but

The Fall is poor time to set posts.
Freezing and thawing is more severe
in soil recently disturbed, however it
may be packed. Propping them up
does not prevent, but rather favors,
their being lifted. If one or two
boards are not nailed on each length
to keep them in place, frost will twist
them so badly before Spring that the
work cannot be done then.
Food influences quality ofproduct.
and it is necessary, therefore to find
what is required to produce the best
quality. Suppose a COW be fed on
timothy hay, straw and corn. Her
milk will not make the best butter.

but give her an allowance of oil meal,

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-While no solution
OF the Northwestern passenger rate
problem has been reached, the threat
ened reduction of rates between St.
Paul and Chicago has been temporarily
ayerted. This is the result of the con-
ference of managers held to-day at
Chairman Finley's Office. There is no
apparent change in the attitude of the
several roads concerning the plans that
have been proposed for settlement of
the difficulty, but it was agreed to
postpone action until Dec. 4 to
allow further consideration of
the matter. President Egan
himself represented the Chicago, St.
Paul q Kansas City read at the meet
ing. and he again positively refused to
redeem the 1900 tickets of that COM
pany's issue which the ticket brokers
are using to cut the rates. The re-
fusal of the Chicago & Northwestern to
consent to division of traffic urged by
President Egan was quite equally posi-
tive. Late in the day it was agreed to
appoint committee to endeavor to
reach plan of compromise and report
Dec. 4. The committee is composed of
Messrs. Finley, Ripley. Newman and
Kenyon. Meantime the Burlington Il
Northern Will suspend its application
for all open reduction.

1t can be predicted that if some unfor-

does not add to the excitement of the
redskins, the threatened uprising will
never occur. 1t is now plain that Gen.
Miles has not been idle during the past
week, for the troops now arriving
come from most of the posts On the
west. Small detachments have been
moving in this direction for the last
three days, and the whole has been so
smoothly and quietly done that not a
word of warning has reached the Indi-
ans. This great movement will he

Northwest, as well as official eommuni-
cations from the war department. at
Washington. Usually, Gen. Miles has
upon his countenance pleasant smile
for all who call, but those who know
him we'll can discern an expression of
anxiety and worry, although the gen.
eral does not let words express that
which his countenance portrays.
"What is the situation this evening.
where the restlessness of the tribes of
red men is creating such interest all
over the cOuntry?"
The general at once looked up from
his desk and replied: "The same
turbulent spirit among the Indians is
manifested at Rosebud, Pine Ridge
and the Cheyenne agencies. There is a
more threatening state of affairs exist
ing at the Pine Ridge agency than else
where. and my latest official reports are
that troops have gone to the Pine Ridge

General of the Army: The instructions

manding the army received yesterday
with accompanying document and trans
mitted to the department commander,
with additional Instructions. The re-
ports to-day are of the same threatening
tenor from Pine Ridge. Troops have
been ordered to that agency and Rose
bud, to give protection, encourage the
loyal and restrain, il possible, the turbu-
lent. The military are now using every
effort to restrain and avoid an out
break, or at least to bridge over
the time between this and severe cold
weather. 1t is believed any other course
may precipitate hostilities. Thus far
no Indians have been reported as hav-
ing left their reservation with hostile
intent. Please inform me if this course
is approved by the major general COM

necessary protection to the agencies,
and restraining, as far as possible, the

able troops will be placed Under your

the manufacture of harvesting machin-
cry, with capital stock of $50. 600. 600.
The directors of the new company will
be: Cyrus II. Mccormick, William

men and manufacturers. and others, of
between $30,000.000 and $40.00O.000.
While some companies have been sue
cesSful, the general condition of the
business was such that it became neces-
sary to give the farmers better machines
at lower prices, if possible, without dis
years manufacturers have been selling
machines at SO low a price as to give
them no fairly compenSating profit.
The cost of materials has been ad-
vancing SO that it has become
necessary either to raise the
price of machines to the far
mer, or, through economy, produce
and distribute them more cheaply, as it
is the purpose and expectation of this
new organization to do. 1t is no less
the interest of binder manufacturers
than that of the farmers themselves.
that the latter should obtain binder
twine at reasonable prices, and the hope
of effecting this object is one of the i'm
portant reasons for the formation of
this new company. Freight will be
saved by having machines made at fac
tories located so that there will be as
few as possible of cross shipments and
unneces sary expenses, burdensome to
both maker and user. There is no in
tentiOn to raise the prices of the ma
chimes. We do not expect to check
competition, but shall probably carry on
the manufacture OF the present ma
