STOCK ITEMS.

| It is important that the calves have
good feed; they should go into wi inter-
quarters in good, thrifty condition.
II it pays to feed grain 10 wethers in
winter 1t will pay to feed now 80 that
better gain can be secured in proportion
to the amount of food supplied
Rough food and grain are both re-
quired in wintering cattle economical
ly. The roughness may be hay, straw
or fodder, but it should be Of good
quality.
Hogs do not assimilate all the nutri"
mcnt in corn when fed to them dry.
Wherever circumstances favor 1t pays
10 have the corn ground or steamed or
soaked.
As preventive of disease do not keep
too many hogs together. If large
number arc being fed. divide into rea-
sonable lots 1t is always IN item to
reduce the risks as much Us possible.
When the cow is kept for milk she
should be of a breed that converts food
into milk rather than into fat; and
while COW of this kind will rarely get
fat when giving milk, yet it is possible
to keep in good condition Of flesh.
1t is often thought that iull-grown
fattening hogs do best with nothing
except corn. If laying on fat TO be
converted into grease or lard be the OBJ
ject this may be true. But much bet
ter quality of pork for the present do
mand is made by giving even to fatten-
ing hogs q small proportion of bran or
middlings and also few roots.
Cattle cannot eat hard corn; they are
apt to take it in the mouth, turn it over
once or twice and spit it out. No steer
or COW will ever take up an ear of corn
for a second trial, and unless hogs fol-
low the corn Is wasted. If, however,
the corn is made soft by steaming, 1t
will all be consumed and the work OF
mastication will be so much facilitated
and the process of digestion made easy.
While with the average farmer it can
hardly be considered profitable to keep
cows for the milk alone, yet with the
milk they can be generally made to
yield a profit. The management as
we'll as the breed largely determines
the quality and quantity of the milk.
1t does not pay to keep COW on half
rations and have her give only small
quantity of milk two-thirds of the year
and be dry the rest of the time.
Pigs that come in October and Novem-
Der, especially in the latter month, sell
dom pay their way. 1t follows, there
fore, that the fall pigs should be gener-
ously cared for Mt the start in order
that they may be as strong and vigorous
as possible before winter sets in. They
should be kept separate from other
hogs, as in the swine family, whether
on four legs or two, the stronger mo
nopolizes all the good things and the
weaker go to the wall.

FARM NOTES.

On the farm experimental work must
be accurate, painstaking and as COM
plete rs possible in order to be valuable.
Do not store away the cabbage until
there have been several hard frosts or
there is danger Of cold, freezing
weather.
1t is rarely advisable to pillow or Guilt
vate in the orchard lots in the fall If
considered necessary it should be stirred
shallow.
Giving q generous feed Of corn every
evening is one of the best ways Of in
ducing turkeys, ducks and geese to
come home at night.
Sulphur for the nests, whitewash for
the houses, kerosene for the perches,
exercise, pure air and a variety of food
for the fowls are the secrets of success
full management.
One cheap way of making the poultry
house warm is to paste papers on tn
inside, using flour paste and put
ting the paper on two or three layers
thick. Then whiten thoroughly.
With a good range, plenty of water
and comfortable quarters it is compara-
lively easy to raise ducks or geese.
They are hardy, not usually infested
with vermin, and will largely take care
of themselves.
From your clover field you can obtain
one first-class crop of hay and another
of fairly good hay, three or four BUSH
els of seed which alone will be worth
as much rs any other crop, and then,
besides, your land may be benefited
considerably.
Clover hay, when judici ously used, is
q profitable crop. especially for cattle.
The first crop may be cut for hay. II
the season is good after that fair
profit may be made on the second crop.
A reasonable yield of seed from sec
ond crop is from three to four bushels
per acre and as it usually sells ut about
IS per bushel this will pay well
If you have good piece of wheat
land from which you want q crop every
year, you must use clover. Sow the
seed on the wheat early in the
spring, and If the land. is reason
ably good after the wheat is cut the
clover will grow into good crop. Keep
the stock of and let in grow. While
the clover is yet green turn 1t under.
Do not wait for it TO go to seed, but
pillow it under just as soon as it has its
greatest growth
If farmers would realize any profit
they must combine grain raising and
stock raising, and if they have stock 1t
is profitable to let them have q good
pasture OF clover. but still it Is we'll to
remember that your land is only en-
riched very little when this plan is fol-
lowed. If you want 10 enrich your
land quickly pillow the clover crop un-
der when IL is green. Sow and raise
another with the wheat let 1t grow up
after the wheat Is cut then turn It uns
der and 20 on.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 20.-The
wheat market dropped more than cent
bushel to-day, making decline OF
more than three cents in the past week.
The market has been sagging for long
time under the influence of the extra
ordinary shipments from the country.
All markets have become blocked, and
toadd to the difficulty ocean freight rates
TO Europe have been advanced nearly 100
per cent in the past few days, making
it more difficult than ever to get tn
grain out of the country. There has
been a very large holding of wheat in
Chicago for December delivery which
was bought several weeks ago and has
been the chief cause OF the stubborn
resistance to decline which the mar
ket has until recently shown. In the
past few days this '1ong" wheat has
been for sale and that has added TO the
weakness Of the market
October wheat in Chicago closed to-
lay at 09N cents, which is the lowest
1rice in record of twenty-eight years,
with two exceptions. In October, 1886,
The price reached COS cents and in De-
cember, 1887, wheat sold in Chicago at
j6M cents
