Live Stock Notes.

1t should not be forgotten that the
sole end of pg-breeding is to attain a
large quantity of meat of good quality
in as short a space of time as possible.
The greatest quantity cannot be OBJ
tanned without breed and suitable feed
ing, nor can we expect quality without
a combination of good feeding and man.
agement. 1t might be said that the OBJ
ject of pig is successful fattening. If
he fails in that his life is failure. But
if the animal Is Of a good breed and is
healthy, such result could scarcely be
brought about, unless by bad feeding
and management. 1t is nevertheless a
fact that some breeders lose money,
while others, pursuing practical sys-
tenl, get fair returns.
In pig feeding there are many things
to consider, says Mr.. Bebout. The
foods which are used for the purposes
are numerous and In many senses OF the
word extremely good, but in order to
obtain remunerative and rapid results a
feeder should make himself acquainted
with their constitutions and the relative
quantities required for the purpose Of
sustaining the animals for maintaining
their growth and putting on prop
er proportions Of fat. There are
certain foods admirable in their
way, and when given judiciously are
useful to pigs, but which, without the
addition of other substances, would not
only fail to increase their weight. how
ever large the quantity given, but would
prove insufficient to maintain healthy
condition. Almost all kinds, however,
(milk perhaps eXcepted), lack some i'm
portant elements in their composition.
For illustration, use corn and water
alone; in short time the pig would be-
come costlve, feverish, skin dry and ap-
petite bad.

The Plumbers Kick.

The journeymen plumbers have pre-
pared a petition which will probably be
presented at the next meeting of the
city council demonstrating against the
appointment of the plumbing inspector
nominated by Building Inspector Hazen.
The plumbers have always been al
lowed to name the inspector. but the
new building ordinance now places the
matter in the hands of the building IN
spectOr. The address issued is as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Board of Abdomen and the
Public at Large:
We, the journeymen plumbers of the city

Ensilage and Dry Fodder.

From experiments extensively carried
on at the Missouri experiment station,
these conclusions are arrived at:
First-Corn fodder may be success
fully dry stored and at cheaper rates,
both for production and labor, than
when stored in the green state.
Second-A given amount of food dry
stored lasted remarkably longer than
the same amount Of food put in the silo.
Tn ird-The ratio of growth of dry
food fed steers was as great or geater
than the ensilage-fed steers, when COM
pared with the growth of each lot when
fed alike, yet the growth of ensilage-
fed steers was greater.
FOurth-The ensilage-fed steers seem
to have made more water or less sub
stantial growth than those dry fed, and
probably did not make really great
growth of solid matter.
Fifth-Sugar corn proved better
food for cows, and poorer for steers than
field corn fodder.
Fifth-Dry fodder for COWS proved
more effective, especially dried sugar
corn, than ensilage.
Seventh-Cows fed on dry fodder
gave the richest milk: .20.58 pounds
making pound of butter, while 22.79
pounds of ensilage were required.
Eighth-The dry fodder fed cows gave
the best churning milk, or raised the
largest ratio of its fat in the milk.
Ninth-The dry fodder cows gave the
largest per cent of solids in the milk.
Tenth-The dry food gave the best
butter, which seemed to keep better.

to 777s@7sc. rallying afterward to 7s1sc,
with fluctuations frequent within a moder-
ate range. July was rather firm, with bidders
usually about &c above May, but to buy
much a shade higher was asked portion Of

ward the close lower prices had to be &C

those who were able to sell early were feel

were the best buyers, with few cars taken
for shipment, but great many orders were

housekeeping hints.

A writer says: In this season of gen.
eral up-turning and housekeeping it
may not be amiss to remember that am
monia in water cleanses glass and paint
much better than soap does; that it
sometimes costs less to have badly
soiled room repainted, after moderate
use of the mop and brush, than it does
to have It scrubbed and secured, to say
nothing of the expenditure of strength;
that salt and vinegar brighten brasses
as we'll as any more modern and
expensive notions; that small bag of
charcoal hung in rain water barrel
purifies it perfectly; that plaster busts
and statuettes may be cleaned, when it
is not desired to paint them, by dipping
them into thick liquid starch and dry
ing, and when the dry starch is brushed
off the dirt is brushed off with it; that it
is a good plan to go over the bedsteads
before beginning any of the cleaning.

increase the trouble there: that it is

CHICAGO, April 9.-The wheat market
was much better than the average. but
not up to that of yesterday in volume or
width of range in prices. Quite reac-
ton was expected from the bulge of
yesterday, but the news and the buying
prevented any serious setback. The
pit had at all times hum not known of
late when the Indicator stood at one
price for an hour at time. The early
bull news was the firm and higher Liv-
erpool cables, and the early bear news
was the spring-like weather every
where. Later there was some very bull
ish news from Illinois points on the GER
tain damage to wheat. Still later the
export clearances were quite fair, but
mostly in the shape of flour. New York
and Philadelphia cleared $4,000 bushels
of wheat, and Baltimore none. New
York cleared $4,000 barrels of flour. and
Baltimore $4,000 barrels. The total of
wheat and flour was calculated equal to
100000 bushels of wheat. In the early
trading Magin and Logan & Co. were
the best buyers. Later George Smith
took wheat through Schwartz Dupee
and Field-Lindlay. Still later Hutchin-
son was buyer, and Ryder and Baxter
also bought freely. Stautfer led the
early selling, and later Bryant led raid
on July wheat, breaking the price nearly
half cent. Partridge was seller also.
The action of the market was as fol-
lows: May opened at 1890, sold at
791a@795sc to 1890 to 1890 to 791sc to
795sc to 1890 to 799s@791ac to 1890
at l O'Clock. June sold at SOC to
795s@79Sc to 1890 to 1899. July
1870 to 7S1Sc to 7s1Sc to 7ssGc. There
heavy feeling in wheat the last half
hour. Receipts were: Wheat, III cars;
corn, OIL cars; oats, 203 cars. Ship
ments-Wheat, 10,262 bu; corn. 1872,
bu; oats, 1851 blu. Corn was active,
strong and higher. though the full adj
vance was not maintained. The damp
weather and expected falling off in re-
ceipts and in the grading were the prin-
cipal factors in producing strength.
Shorts were exceedingly nervous, and
there was general desire to cover,
which made trade lively, and buyers
were compelled to bid up, as the offer
ings were rather light. There were no
big buyers on the market. but the crowd
in general was active on that side. Oats
were stronger and higher early, but
under free selling the price eased off to
about yesterdays closing figures. Pro-
islons were quiet but weaker under
rather heavy selling and little demand.
There will be no session of the board
to-day. rs it is Good Friday.
