Notes.

All kinds of grain, as we'll as vege-
tables, in order to produce tho best re-
suits, must have a mellow seed-bed that
the roots can readily extend in all direc-
tons in receiving the necessary plant
food.
Under no condition should poultry he
allowed to remain out OF doors over night
now. If the hens get their combs froz-
en- they will not lay until they get well.
It is running a risk to breed to horse
that is defective in any way, as many
diseases, faults and blemishes are
readily transmitted from parent to Off
spring.

STOCK ITEMS.

Oats Is considered one Of the best
foods that can be supplied to cows that
are expected to, calve in the spring.
! Feed so as to avoid waste.
| Good corn fodder makes good change
from hay with the horses, and it will be
. good plan to feed at least occasionally
In order to keep in good appetite
Cows that are good mixers ought not
to go dry more than month before
calving. A COW that only gives milk
six or seven months can hardly be con-
sidered profitable.
1t is claimed that fattening hogs will
eat better and more while the owner Is
looking on; be that as it may, if he
looks on he will know that they are
we'll fed and no more.
lil-htting harness is one of the prin-
clpaI causes of sores on the working
animals. and when the harness is shifted
about from one animal to another this
IS difficult to prevent. Harness should
be fitted to each horse and then used
only on the one to which it is fitted.
A successful Kansas farmer has over
500 head Of hogs, not one of which is
sick of cholera, while many of his
neighbours hogs are daily dying of this
disease. He attributes their healthful
condition to the plentiful supply Of tur-
nip feeding. Farmers might try this
remedy.
If the farmer is breeding horses to
sell he must breed what the market de-
mands if he expects to realize the best
prices. Haphazard breeding is largely
responsible for so many horses being
raised that are difficult to sell in market
for the reason that they are not what
the market demands.
If the rigors of winter affect your
breeding herd of cattle, do not be
afraid to give an extra allowance of
corn, or cOrnmeal, in the morning and
evening feed. BY pursuing such a
course you will discover what all other
generous feeders have found, viz, that
success never will be attained under n
niggardly policy.-Live-stock Indicator.
1t is absolutely necessary that hogs
should follow cattle which are being
fed on whole corn. More or less of the
corn passes out which is undigested,
and just in proper condition as to moist
ure to suit the swine. We do not squirm
to eat the chicken which picks up the
undigested grains. Why should we re-
fuse the pork made on the same diet?
More care is needed in the selection of
the animals used in breeding in the
case of horses than with any other
stock on the farm. Hogs. cattle or
sheep may be defective in some of the
qualities that so to make up the nearly
perfect animal. yet if well fed during
growth and properly fatted for market
they can be sold readily at good prices
and return a good profit for the feeder.
But in horse any defect will decrease
his market value.

THE GRAIN OUTLOOK.
December Report OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
WHEAT CONDITION PUT At 1884,
Better Than For Two Years Past-Esti-
mated Yields the Past Year of Wheat
and COrn-Thc Low Average Of
the Latter Cereal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The estimate
of the products of corn, wheat and oats
of 1890, as complied by the statistician
corn aggregate l,4S9. $40, 600 bushels;
wheat 399, 622, 900 bushels; oats 575, 621,-
O90 bushels.
The area of corn, which was slightly
Increased in planting was reduced by
utter failure and abandonment by more
than 6, 900, 600 acres. The area harvest
ed, II, 979, 1913 acres. The average yield
per acre was POT bushels and the sup
ply for consumption per head of pOpula-
rtion is 53 bushels, or IL bushels less
than last yelr The rate of yield was
lower in 1907 and 1881, years of very
severe drought.
The aggregate wheat acreage is &c.
"Ds7,l54 acres, nearly the same as in
1889, and the yield per acre ILL bush
els These are measured bushels of a
quality grading somewhat lower than
usual, the weight of which will be
given in the March report. Past rec
ords have shown that tho annual differ
.ences in weight of the crop arenot often
more than a pound above or below the
average weight for series of years, the
lowest for seven years being 56.5 in 1883
and the highest 5S.5 in 1887. The yield
per acre is the same as 1880, when the
product was nearly 416, ZOO, 900 bushels,
and with two exceptions is the lowest
rate during the past decade. The area
in oats was &c. 49,. 1863 acres and the
yield per acre was 1913 bushels. This
is only "A per cent. of the average of
ten years past, which was 1856 bushels
and the smallest rate of yield ever re-
3orted by this Office.
The December condition of the grow
ing wheat crop is returned at 1874. This
Is better than December returns for two
years past. Along the Atlantic coast
slight depreciation is noted as the re-
ssult of the excess of moisture in some
localities, making planting late and
giving rather small growth before the
advent of freezing weather. In
the Ohio valley the season was
generally favorable for seeding and
early growth and the plant entered
the winter quarter in promising con-
dition. Some damage was done by the
Hessian fly, especially in early sown
fields Condition in Missouri and Kan
s=as was variable, local injury from
drought and fly combining to somewhat
reduce State averages.

METEOROLOGICAL.



Pref SHOWS seminary Of Observations For
the Past Year.
LAWRENCE, Kan, Jan. 0.-Prof. Snow
has prepared a meteorological summary
| for the year 1890 from observations
taken from the university. This shows
that the year 1890 was one of the six
warmest years upon his twenty-three
I years record, the thermometer having
reached the zero point but twice during
the year. The rainfall was above the
average, but an untimely deficiency in
June and July was disastrous to the
crop in nearly all parts of the State.
Some remarkable peculiarities of this
year were the extremely low barometer
of March %, which gave the lowest
reading ever observed at this station,
and the date of the first snow, which
did not make its appearance until Dec
cember %, forty-three days later than
the average date.
The mean temperature of the year
was 54:1O degrees, which is 1:SS degrees
above the mean for the preceding twen-
ty-two years. The highest was 1Ol.5
degrees on July Il; the lowest degrees
below zero, January 16, giving a range
of 1855 degrees. The mean of the win
ter months, S1:99 degrees, which is 800
degrees above the average. OF the
spring it was 1855 degrees, which was
LII degrees above the average; of the
summer, 1894 degrees, 1888 degrees
above the average; of the autumn, 54:O2,
0:55 degrees above the average. The
warmest month of the year was July,
with mean temperature s2:7G; the warm
est week, July to IA, mean, S5:12 de-
grees; the warmest day, July Il, mean,
SS:47 degrees. The mercury reached or
exceeded 80 degrees on forty-three days,
below average. The coolest month
was January, the mean temperature
being 1924 degrees; the coolest week,
January Is to 81, mean temperature,
1885 degrees; the coolest day, January
Is, mean, 6:12 above zero. The mercury
fell below zero on only two days, of
which one was in January and the other
in February.
The entire rainfall, including melted
snow, was 36.32 inches, was was O.S3
inches above the annual average. The
rain of the afternoon and night of Octo-
Der 12 measured 4. ~ inches, which sur
passed any previous single rainfall on
record, except the SOS inches of August
II, 1889. The number of thunder
showers was twenty-four. May 20 oc-
Cured the only hailstorm of the year.
The entire depth of snow was 1880
inches, of which eight inches fell in
January, three in February, one-half in
March and four inches in December.
This was sos inches below the annual
average. The velocity of the wind was
below the average for the preceding
seventeen years. There were twenty
five fogs, which number had been but
twice exceeded.

Troops Hampercd by q Strike.

OELREICHs, n. D.. Jan. IA freight
strike is on at this point, this being the
supply station for the troops now in the
field. While the Government had charge
of its transfer teams they were paid S.
per day, but on Thursday last two con-
tractors appeared on the scene and re-
duced the compensation SO that the
scamsters would not be able to make
more than 50 per day and a well organ
Ized strike ensued. Fourteen carloads
of supplies are now on the sidetrack,
and it is evident that the three camps
OF troops which are stationed thirty
miles distant must be running short of
supplies.

road. four miles west of Sabetha, Kan,
at 2:25 o'clock this morning.
The through Denver freight which
left this city last night and light train
came together on a fill. The light
train consisted of an engine, tender

now that the promised attempts by each

of the Democratic House to unseat Nc

Biennial Report Of State Superintendent

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 6.-The biennial
report of State Superintendent Winans
has been issued. 1t is very complete
exposition of the educational work of
the State for the past two years. 1t
shows that the school population of the
State is now 509,614 and the estimated
value of all school property is over S1O,-
600, ZOO.
In discussing the school book ques-
ton, Superintendent Winans advocates
the free text book plan, as outlined in
the report of the codifying committee.
Mr.. Winans states that under this law
there has been saving of from 25 to so
per cent. in the cost of school books.
The Superintendent adds that ''every
advantage claimed for State uniformity
may be better secured by the free text
book plan

Attention is called to the fact that in
1890 an institute was held in every
county in the State, and in 1889 but one
county in the State failed to hold an in
stitute; and even in the case of the
single county, a joint institute was held
with an adjoining county. These county
normal institutes are an important fact
or in the educational work of the State,
and are improving from year to year as
to the kind of work done by instructors
and students. They furnish to the great
majority of the teachers of the State
their only professional training. No
money appropriated by the State is
productive of more bene6cent results
than is the money appropriated for the
support of the county normal Institutes.
There ought to be two changes in the
law:
First-The State appropriation ought
to be $50 for each county holding an in
stitute, regardless of the number en-
rolled.
Second-The county commissioners
should be required to appropriate not
less than $50.
