Village Farming.

Mr.. John w. Bookwalter owns co.
600 acres OF land in Nebraska, and he
proposes to undertake the establish
ment of a modern Utopia upon it.
The plan consists of q colonization Of
the farmers in 81 village that he will
build, and that will contain schools,
churches, halls of entertainment,
libraries, etc. He thinks the present
farm life is II of p~rivation, and he
expects to furnish his farmer colon
lists with all the advantages of the
towns. The practical farmer can see
many obstacles in the way of a sue
cessful working Of this plan. 1t is, of
course, slightly modelled after the
European farming village, but thecon-
ditions in America, especially in the
West, are not favorable to it.
The American farmer, on relatively
cheap land, and raising low-priced
products, must work with machinery,
and thus till large tracts. Under these
circumstances very few could have
farms close enough to a proposed viii
lage to permit OF their making homes
in it. Western farming is. and of
necessity must be, on a rather extern
sive scale that will not permit Of q
concentration of the people. In a
country where land is high because
the demand for its products is great,
small tracts given up to vegetable
farming, and furnishing more oppor-
tunity for labor than so times its ex-
tent in u Western land, adapted to
grain farming, willpermit village farm
ing, but we predict its failure for the
present in our country.

Duluth.

Duluth, Nov. 11.--PI1ces opened frmer this
morning with bids at yesterdays closing figures.
which were soon advanced &c, followed by
a further gradually advance of &c, making a
complete gain for the forenoon of Ac over the
opening. Trading was very heavy on the
advancing tendencies and before the noon
hours considerably over 500 600 bushels
changed hands. Large receipts continue. and
shipments for the last twenty-four hours
reached "a. 400 bushels for wheat alone. This
immense demand for wheat maintains prices in
spite of the ruinous prices asked for vessel room
to Buffalo. Reports of SHOWS in the Northwest
and a blizzard working down toward the SOUTH
west. acted as a bull feature, which
largely overcame the weaker cables.
Report that the returns from 1900 points in the
United States showed that 40 per cent of the
wheat crop had been marketed Nov. 1. although
only one third of the year had passed. worked
as q bull feature. The government crop report
showed one Of the largest corn crops. going
over an average of twenty-six bushels to the
acre, and yielding over two billion
bushels for the United States.
Trading today was quite evenly divided between
May and December options and spot wheat.
Trading was largely done in lots of from 25.o'0
to 5000 bushels. Close was firm at from i to
&c over yesterdays closing figures. Market was
fairly active up to the close. demand being very
good. Freight rates continue firm at 7tc. 1t
was reported yesterday that as high as &c had
been offered for small jags Of flax.

Hedge Fences.

Usage orange hedge fences are unde-
sirable. The weight of testimony is
against them. Some farmers are still
planting them, but for every such one
there are five who Ire digging them
out. For the first 10 years the pros
pect for q good fence is bright. 1t con-
tinues to thicken, and when we'll kept,
is not too high to be easily trimmed.
This is the case when the trimmingha has
been done three Or four times a year.
But the stubs are left an inch or two
longer at every trimming, and in time
the old wood must be cut down a foot
or Two, and this is an eXasperatlng
piece OF work. The trimming must be
done each time just before the thorns
harden, no matter how much other
work presses. A little delay makes
serious trouble. But all this could be
endured if the hedge made a trust
worthy fence. It gives fine promise,
but soon after it reaches q condition
OF trustworthiness hog holes and
breaks begin to appear in it. 1t re-
quires constant mending, and is never
safe. 1t robs the earth of plant food
and becomes a nuisance. Notwith-
standing the work of uprooting q
hedge fence, a very few possessors of
hedges Owe 10 or Is years old are
willing to let them stand unless they
are farmers who have ceased to trim
them and are careless OF the appear
ance of their farms. Other kinds of
fences are more satisfactory every
Wav.

Bricks without straw. That is one
reason why there is so many poor
bricks. In all departments. bricks

bricks that are not bricks at all.
Work adequately paid for is worth
more than work not paid for. More
straw and then better bricks.
But in all departments there are
Pharaohs: Sometimes Capital a

Pharaoh. When capital prospers,
and makes large percentages on it's
Investment, and declines to
CONSIDER THE NEEDS OF OPERATIVES,
and treats them as so many human
machines, their nerves no more than
the bands on the factory wheel,-then
Capital is a Pharaoh. On the other
hand, when workmen, not regarding
the anNieties and business struggles Of
the firm employing them, and at q
time when the firm is doing its best to
meet an important contract and need
all hands busy to accomplish it, at
such time to have his employees
make a strike and put their employers
into extreme perplexity and severe
loss-then Labor becomes a Pharaoh
of the worst oppression, and must
look out for the judgments OF God.
But Christ has been our Moses to
lead us out OF bondage, and we are
forever free. The Red Sea ofaSavior's
sacrifice rolls deep and wide between
us and III aforetime bondage, and
though there may be deserts yet for
us to cross we are on the way to the
Promised Land. Thanks he unto God
for this emancipating Gospel! Come

No Fear of a Revolution,

WASHINGTON. d. O., Nov. 1.-THE
first intimation the Brazilian minister
here has received of the reported seces
sion of some of the provinces of Brazil,
was in the form of an unofficial dispatch
today to the effect that it was reported
in Rio that the state of Rio Grande De
Sui had renowned its allegiance to the
government and had seeded. As this
dispatch came from a reliable sou ce
the minister believed, in the absence of
any contradictory statement from his
government, that the province had re.
volted The minister stated tonight
that if the province had seeded that
there was not the least chance of the re.
volt extending to other states of the
republic; that Brazil was as stable as
this government, and there need be nc

An Incident of Hamlin's Life Reminded
Lincoln of a Story.
At an official ball during Lincoln's
last administration. says a Washing
ton storyteller. thieves made off with
many of the hats and overcoats of
guests, so that when the presidential
party was ready to leave, Vice Presi-
dent Hamlin's head covering was no.
where to be found.
'Tll tell you what Hamlin, " said C
friend, 'early in the evening I saw a
man. possessed of keen foresight, hide
his hat upstairs. I am sure he would
be willing to donate it to the admins
t%ration, and I will go and get it."
When the hat was produced it bore
a badge of mourning, which the vice
president ripped off with his pen knife.
The party stood waiting for the carri-
ages to be driven up when q man
stopped directly in front of Mr.. Ham,
lin. and stood staring at the tile"
"What are you looking at?" sharply
asked Hamlin. "Your hat " answered
the man mildly. eff it had a weed on

"Well it hasn't got a weed on it
has it?"

WEAVING Colts.

For weaving colts provide a good
box stall large enough for a number
to be weaned. Feed them in it for q
week or more, SO they will get used to
it. See that their MANI ers and feed
boxes are in order before commencing,
and provide a good vessel to hold
water for the night, as it will require
two or three gallons per head each
night. A large iron kettle has rend-
cred good service in my barn. Cleanse
the vessel n in every "a hours, as
colts prefer the water fresh and clean.
Having lived mostly on liquid food
for five months, then turning sudden
ly to solid, the youngsters need some
thing to moisten it. By having
water within their reach they will
drink little and often, which will do
them more good than larger quanti-
ties farther apart. Confining a
ling in his stall from four in the even
ing until seven the next morning, or
Is hours, is too long to have them do
well.-Exchange.
Valuable Hints.
Fowls and eggs are always in de-
mand.
In preparing poultry for market
dress as nicely as possible.
Most OF the poultry sold is wet
picked, and such is generally pre-
ferred.
Don't permit the water from the
manure to drain under your poultry
house; if you do you will be sure to
regret it. Dampness OF any kind is
not tolerated with a healthy flock of
fowls.
Select the warmcst place in the
gardens where the drainage is good
on the south side OF a hill if you have
such a thing, and plant your grapes
there.
Did you aver think that q weed was
something OF q blessing to some peo-
pie? 1t is. 1t compels them to do
what they wouldnot do but for weeds,
cultivate the crop.
Raw meat in moderation, chopped
fine and fed about thrice a week will
stimulate egg production. One pound
of meat is sufficient for Is hens. Some
cook it, but raw meat is better by
far.
For any n wanting a white fowl of
excellent laying qualities the white
Minorca will be sure to please. Like
the white Leghorn theyhave their sep
arate admirers and the qualities Of
each are more or less distinct.
The man who believes-and acts on
his belief-that COWS should have no
shade inthe pasture so that they wont
loose anytime from eating by laying
in shade should, be compelled to eat a
day bareheaded in the hot sun.
The Dickinson press., 1891-11-14
Cross Bred Fowls.

The poultry-K Keeper says: "The
fact that the cross-bred birds lay
soft-shelled eggs is conclusive evidence
that they are over-fat. 1t shows also
that cross-bred birds are more liable
to take on fat than the pure breeds.
Instead OF rendering them delicate, it
is evidence that they require lessfood,
and that they have partially been
changed from being prolific layers to
meat producers. This tendency to
take on fat by cross-bred birds is the
cause of persistent settlers, and we
are confirmed by every experiment in
our claim that when hens become fat
they are more aptto become broody."
If this authority is correct, it would
appear that our farmers who keep
hens for eggs are making a mistake in
crossing their focks as much as is
common. When new blood is intro
duced it should be from the same
breed. All this may be usually true,
but there are some cross-bred focks
that are great egg producers.
Authorities agree that the variation
in the color Of the yolk of eggs is due
neither to the breed OF the hens nor
their age. but to the ~coloring matter
OF the food consumed. The richness
or the paleness of the color so often
noted does not qualify any more
than the annatto used to color butter
indicates its quality. In times of
drouth or late in the season, when
plants lose their bright color, eggs
have paler yolks. Clover or corn-fed
hens give plenty of color to their

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE wheat market today
was characterized by two dlametrical opposing
influences which were at work from the opening
to the close and one Of which was responsible
for every fluctuation. Bull influence was cold
and snowy weather in the northwest and bear
influence was lower cables, and generally de-
pressing reports from European markets. Each
of these predominating influences controlled the
market in turn by the cool breezes that whistled
through the exchange as huge doors opened and
