MORE GROCERY PAKES.
Farmers Get Bit By a Chicago
Agents Little Game.

= GEM LlGGl6 Nz-AT.
There has been a man gong the
rounds Of the country for some time
taking orders from the farmers fo-
groceries. His house is in Chicago.
The reports Of the results Of this new
departure upon the part Of the farmers
in sending to Chicago for groceries has
come to the ear Of the pnblIc. One
Dickinson county farmer who wishes
his name kept out Of the papers, tried
one of these orders, amounting to 367.
This is far above what any grocer in
the city would have thought Of asking
hiIa for duplicate order. In fact, an
Abilene merchant agreed TO duplicate
it for $50 and at the same time assured
him that he, the merchant, would make
the usual profit made by grocers OF this
city. The fakir sold sugar at 1925 per
hundred When the sugar arrived
freight Lad been added which in
creased the cost TO 50. 80 per hundred,
fifty cents per hundred in excess Of
what Abilene merchants agreed to
furnish il, The kick came from the
farmer and the fakir is nOw "in it,

Large Wheat for Seed.

Some experiments made in England
appear to show the advantage gained
by the use of the larger grains of wheat
for seed Seed wheat fully matured
was selected out of one bin, and by
sitting two lots of seed were taken,
one extremely large, the other small.
The large weighed $50 pounds per
bushel, the small only 40. 5 pounds, diff
ference of more than 80 per cent Each
lot of seed was divided into four separ-
ate parcels and four separate sowings
were made. The land was good wheat
land, but not specially MANFRED The
large seed sprouted the quickest, made
the best growth, was taller, and on the
average made ten bushels per acre
more than the small seed The advan-
tages from the large seed were as fol-
lows: Greater rapidity of growth and
development of crop early in the season,
greater yield of grain and of straw,
better weight and better quality Of
grain for milling. A sieve that will
allow the smaller kernels to go through
along with the seeds of weeds will very
speedily pay for the time and labor re-
quired to separate and save the large
grain for seeding purposes

Say, Pierce, you have got a bay
window to your stable" was the re-
mark of a friend. ''Yes," l replied,
excepting the window" 1t came
about in this way: In February the
barn was overru n with rats, and after
putting everything eatable out of their
reach they attacked the harness, which
hung on pegs in the us ual way near
the stable. The first l knew about it
a breast collar, single harness, was
about half eaten up, and the collars of
pair of work harness seriously in
jured. 1t at once became apparent
that the harnesses must have a closet.
But where? AS doors and stable were
arranged there seemed no convenient
place. For three weeks l ''toted" the
harnesses to the house, to the disgust
of the women and to my own discom-
fort and annoyance. was awaiting a

AMONG THE POULTRY.

KEEP enough fowls to buy the gro
ceries.
CORN and corn meal are the best fat
tening foods.
A GOOD hen will lay twice her weight
in eggs in year.
WHEN grain is fed throw on a litter
and partly cover it up.
On the farm, at least, the medium
sized breeds are the best.
ONE fowl with scurvy legs is apt to
impart the disease to others.
A COOKED mixture of the table scraps
makes a good morning ration.
CLOSE to large cities broilers bring in
more money than anything else.
DUCKS and geese are the best fowls
to raise on wet, low-lying lands.
BARLEY and Wheat fed alternately
make a good eg3- producing ration.
WHEN the hens lay soft-shelled eggs
they either need lime or they are too
fat
A SUDDEN change from one kind Of
grain to another will often stop hens
from laying.
GEESE are not only valuable as meat
producers but should annually produce
a pound of feathers each.
ONE advantage with ducks is that
they are less liable to disease than al
most any other kind of poultry.
POULTRY manure is the richest that
can be secured on the farm and it
should be carefully stored away.
CLEAN hay or straw makes a good
covering for the floor in winter and
will add materially to the comfort of
the fowls.-St. Louis Republic.

Heavy Business Failures.

New York, June S0.-The busi-

of the present year are reported by r.
G.. Dun d Co. to number 6,074,
against $685. during the same period
in 1890. The increase of $50 failures
is unusually large. The extent of the
liabilities is also excessive, the amount
owing by the parties who have failed
in 1891, footing up to $92,OOO,OOO,
while for the same period in 1890 it
was only $65,0OO,0O0, indicating an
increase in liabilities of $4,000, 900.
Notwithstanding the extreme extent
OF these casualties and other adverse
circumstances, the reports from all
portions of the country indicate a
fairly healthy condition of trade,
and excellent prospects in view of
the large increase of wealth from
growing crops and active industrial
enterprises,
