CHESTER WHITE BREEDERS.

Oficers.

They Discuss Their Porkers and Elect
Omcers.
The Chester White record association
met Friday afternoon at the sgricul
tural room of the state-house. Ellis
House Of Bickneil presided and ". II.
Morris of this city acted as secretary. The
question of absorbing the National
record association into this association
was discussed, but the majority of the
members opposed consolidation, and it
was decided to leave the national associa-
ton alone.
The superior points of the Chester
White breed were fOrcibly presented by
w. b. Gill OF Ladoga He claimed that
this variety was better for breeding and
in superlative degree excelled for pork.
He had sold his hogs 20 cents higher on
the hundred than the market price for
black hogs. Last winter he had kept
seventeen hogs ON one bushel OF corn.
He had pastured them on q rye field, and
found rye an excellent substitute for corn,
and it was an infinitely cheaper feed. In
the spring he plowed the rye under and it
made good manure for a crop OF oats or
corn.
The following officers were elected 70
the ensuing year:
President-N. q. Alexander, Delaware, Ill.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
INDIANAPOLIS. IND.


Mo'EDAY EVENING, Jan. %.
Summarizing, the financial situation
Henry Clewh' financial circular says:
money continues 20 accumulate in the
banks. Frdsn the interior movement, the
banks gained during the week 100000
net, and f,fom the sub-treasury $4,000,
making 3 total gain of $3,6o0.O0O. The in
crease OF government expenditures and
the changes in tariff, which take effect
under Yecent laws, will cause a sharp de-
pletioII, of the cash in the treasury and
correspondingly benefit the banks; aud
that effect will be moro or less perma-
neut." Locally the situation is easy finan-
Gladly and trade for the week promises
wSll. Eggs and poultry have dropped off
a 1trifie and in some lines fruits and vege-
tables are more easy. Dry goods drugs
sznd groceries are fairly active, while hides,
leather, betting and tallow give promise
OF some activity in a few days. COllec-
tAons are good and confidence continues.

corn silage, lJS pounds corn fodder and
twenty-five pounds potatoes. To produce
100 pounds on the steer required 1874
pounds corn, Isl pounds bran and 654
pounds silage. The results showed that
silage was also an excellent food for the
sheep as well as for the steer.
Economy in labor is more necessary
than in any other expenditure. Labor is
the most costly item of expense that the
farmer has TO meet. Ii may not be to hls
advantage TO lessen the number of persons
employed as help, but the labor should
be properly applied. Systematic manage
ment and performing the necessary work
at the proper time and without delay will
save waste of time and give a profit from
the labor itself. 1t is labor that gives the
value TO all the products of the farm.
Even the bees make the quality OF their
honey according to the kind of food or
flowers from which il 10 procured. Emil
nent authorities on bee culture state that
when bees were fed scorched honey the
honey in the combs did not differ there
from. The same results occurred when
Rranulated honey was fed 10 the bees.
Honey can therefore be adulterated in the
combs. Glucose, when fed TO the bees,
Is deposited in the combs as glucose, and
it has long been known that certain flow
ers produced honey of superior quality
to that derived from others.
Calculate the amount OF manure on
hand and estimate the expected amount
next spring. Then measure Oft, or esti-
mate, the area of land that the manure
will probably cover. DO not waste the
manure by spreading it over too much
space. A small plot that is well manured
will give larger proportiOnate crops, and
at lower cost. than a large field that is
MANFRED insufficientlv Homeopathic
doses of manure do not give good results.
Concentrate your manure on the least
space possible for fair return.

Brief Farm Hints.

The pig-pen should be covered il the
pigs are expected to remain In the Yards.
Cold causes more feed to be required.
When pigs are compelled to huddle to-
gether very closely in order to keep warm
it indicates that the pig-pen is too cold,
and that it needs more improvement.
Young lambs should now be here, IL
they are early, and it will pay the farmer
to give them special attention for a while.
A good start at the beginning is one-half
the advantage in raising early lambs.
A silo may be of boards, stone or ce-
ment, and should be at least y feet deep.
1t is estimated that silO II feet square is
large enough for twenty-five cows. This
may vary, however, according to the kind
of cows and how the ensilage is fed.
As rule the breeding animals are kept
too fat Cows and steers should not be fed
alike. The COW yielding milk requires
more food than dry COW. Fat sows do
not make as careful mothers as those in
moderate condition. Too much tat is det-
rimental to breeding stock of all kinds.
Diversity of crops is partial security
against failure. No farmer should rely on
a single crop, as there will be too many
chances against him from drought, inferior
seed, short growing seasons and excessively
wet weather. Some crops will thrive when
others fail The safest mode is TO grow
several kinds.
The dry matter in food nearly always
gives the same results. The turnip, though
mostly water, viii supply the animal with
sufficient nOurishment of the kind il the
animal can eat enough of such bulky food.
The presence OF large quantity OF water
in the food promotes digestion, and but
little nutrition is wasted.
When sowing cloverseed the coming
spring bear in mind that you must use
enough seed not only to secure o good
stand of clover, but also to supply the
birds. A large proportion of the seed
may also fail 10 terminate, being injured
by cold as well as washed off by rains.
Run the scratch harrow over the field be-
fore sowing if the nature of the land per-
mits.
Do not be deceived because the frost
protects you at present against the loss of
ammonia in your manure heap. Con-
tinue to use plenty of absorbent material,
as the first warm day may entail more
loss than you are aware OF. The freezing
of matter causes it TO become finer, and it
falls to pieces when thawing. decomposi-
ton being then very rapid.
There is one advantage in giving the
compost heap attention, and that is the
destruction of the seeds of weeds by the
heating of the manure Some heaps are
not sufficiently subjected to the heating
process, especially when exposed to cold
rains and SHOWS. If the manure is care
fully attended to, in order TO secure the
decomposition of the manurial substances
therein, the killing OF the seeds of noxious
weeds will alone pay for any work be-
slowed on the heap.
Mutton sheep make a greater gain of
flesh than steers, according to experiments
made. At the Wisconsin station the food
required to produce 100 pounds of wether
amb was 3S4 pounds corn. 296 pounds
