The annual report OF the Hungarian
Minister of Agriculture, recently pub
lished, presents many interesting figures.
Ii estimates the worlds production OF
wheat this year at ,, ,279, 600. 600 bushels,
against the official average OF $3.50, ,000,-
600 annually for the last ten years. The
deficits 20 be filled by the importing
countries will require 319, 600, 900 BUSH
els. and the surplus available in export
ing countries is almost sufficient to
supply this shortage-37S, G64, 900 bush
els. The countries showing deficit
are Great Britain. France, Germany, Italy,
Austria. Spain. Norway and Sweden, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Den
mark, Portugal and Greece.
1t is significant fact that Great
B.itain shows by far the largest deficit.
Her product is less than one-fourth Of
what she needs, tho deficit amounting
to no less than 1Si, 427, 600 bushels. In
deed England has To depend on outside
sources not only for her wheat hut for
all her food supplies, and in the event OF
war with strong naval power, whose
cruisers would prey on British commerce,
she would run the risk of having u
famine 10 deal with. The United States,
on the other hand, has not only enough
TO supply its own demands but nearly
20. 900, 600 bushels to spare, her product
being over 397, ,000,0 600 bushels. Not
only in regard to wheat but all the food
staples, the United States has more
than enough to supply its own needs.
Herein is an element OF strength whose
importance cannot be over estimated.
OF the other countries: Frances pro-
ducton is nearly 2Si millions and her
deficit nearly 4, million bushels; Ger.
manv's product, nearly 91 millions and
deficit about 25i millions; the product
Of Italy is 122 millions and deficit over
22f millions; Austria, product 45t mil
lions. deficit nearly 40 millions. Russia
exhibits the largest surplus, nearly 9s
million bushels; her product is 343, 600,
600. which is "a million bushels less than
that of the United States. India is third
as wheat producing country, her pro-
duct being nearly 275 million bushels and
her surplus 42i millions. The countries
showing a surplus are Russia, the United
States, India, Hungary, Roumania,
Turkey, Bulgaria, Servia, Canada, Africa,
Australia, Argentine and Chili.-IN. Y.

to make this change very gradually.
To do this it is best to begin by al.
lowing the calf, for instance, to take
but half it's fill of its dams milk, fin
ishing upon mixture of fresh milk
and warm skim milk. Gradually the
dams milk can be reduced in the ra-
tion, and the warm skim milk in

boiled fax-seed and boiled oat meal

POULTRY ADVICE.

As the result OF experiments mt the
Central Experiment Farm, in Canada,
the following conclusions have been
arrived at:
Select the best layers for the winter
pens.
Supply the layers with bones, oyster
shells and vegetables.
Kill the drones, for they eat the
profit made by the good layers.
Get out as many chickens as possible
in time for the early grass.
When properly managed, poultry
and small fruits arc said to be paying
combination.
Keep the layers, if possible, in tenn
perature where the drinking water will
not freeze.
With proper care the cockerels should
be fit for market in three to four
months and the pullets become layers
in five TO six months.
The laying stock should be supplied
in winter with all the material neces-
sary for making the eggs.
The best layers will generally be
iOuHh w Df bb' ihOnb H'tifb oh'h.
The Black Minorcas are rapidly .om-
ing TO the fore as winter layers.
Where the water is kept from freez-
ing it is of special advantage to the
hens with large combs.
In cold poultry houses the food, in
stead Of going into eggs, goes to keep
up the animal heat.
Fowls divided into small colonies lay
more eggs than when crowded to-
getber.
Keep no layer over two years, for it
then moults 80 late that all future
profit il eaten mp before it commences
70 lay.
Intelligent and systematic manage
ment is as necessary in the poultry de-
partment as it is in every other limo of
business

They Were Comrades.

A tall, snowy bearded man, with wide
brimmed soft hat and the air of West.
erncr, was walking along Fourteenth
street, near Union Square. He noticed
a blind beggar's appeal for aid. The ap.
peal was prominently displayed on the
beggars breast. II stated that the ap-
pellant had lost his sight through mine
explosion in the west many years ago.
The white bearded man stopped and nd.
dressed remark TO the blind beggar

wgANIN0 CALyEs.

II is disappointing time when one
sees the calf or colt, that has been
growing thriftily while fed by its dam,
beginning to look rough in hair and
thin in flesh ~ it comes 20 the
changed condition OF feed when once
IL has been weancd. IL is right here
that 80 much of the trouble comes in
attempting TO raise calves and colts.
II is the sudden changed condition OF
feed that disarranges the small ami
mails digestive organs, and for n while
appears to stop its growth entirely.
The remedy is plainly the making of
the dams milk to the new food as lit.

Donkey is, in Spanish, burro. In
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and In
Arizona, where the donkey is as well
known as the horse, he is always called
by his Spanish name, on account Of the
fact that this section OF the United States
so recently belonged TO the Mexicans,
who, as everybody knows, talked that
language. The Spaniards and Mcxicans
also apply the term "burro" TO a stupid
or ignorant person, just as English-speak.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Do not shoe young horses too
heavily.
Breed gives form, and feed gives
growth.
An easy way to exhaust land is to
avoid rotation.
Thoroughly whitewash the inside of
your poultry house.
Use plenty of plaster to absorb the
ammonia in the stable.
The cheapest and best way is TO tako
good care of everything.
Tho PAGERS are coming TO the front
in the race for popularity.
Pay more attention TO the walking
gait. Good walkers are rare.
Heroic treatment is the only proper
method if SPAWN is suspected.
Sort your eggs as to color, il you
want them TO look and sell well.
Melon bugs may be destroyed with
finely powered bone meal busted on
the plants when wet with dew.
Excellent results are obtained by
mating good mares Of Morgan descent
with the best trotting stations.

fresh, clean nests in darkened place,

time to work with bees. They will
sting less and the work can be done
better and with less damage to the
bees than at any other time.
All boxes containing comb honey
should be removed from the hive as
soon as completed. In this way the
boxes will not be soiled and the beauti-
ful whiteness OF combs marred by the
frequent passing of the bees over them.

side, selecting those of rapid growth
and spreading branches. II they be
fruit trees, they should be trimmed to
height of at least seven feet, and then
allowed TO branch out While the
trees are growing, it would be simply
humane to provide temporary shelter
of some kind, such as setting few
posts, and covering with poles, upon
which are thrown branches OF ever

trees in full leaf This will afford n
useful shelter, and il located upon n
knoll or other naturally poor portion
of the field. it will thoroughly enrich
the soil. BY changing it's position
yearly, various portions of the field
will be benefited. All this takes but n
little time, and can be done when other

Effect of Feed on Quality of Milk.
One of the agricultural experiment sta
tons recently asked the following ques-
tons:
ais it true that the kind of feed COW
eats has no influence worth speaking upon
the quality of her milk"
is it true that the farmer who feeds
highly heterogeneous mill feeds and by
products In the endeavor to keep his milk
up to legal standard OF quality lin states
which fix standard by law. attsins no
nearer 10 the end than does his neighbor
who. having the same breeds of cows,
: feeds only cob-meal, corn and timothy?"
These are Old questions. and it seems as
if 1t were time that our experiment sta
lions had solved them. The station
quoted can find little or no improvement
in quality of milk by generous feeding,
and believes that food affects quantity
only. 1t attributes the percentage of
cream in the milk to the breed or person
atty OF the COW and advises the careful Sc
lection of animals. The advice is GER
tainiy good and should be taken, but
many dairymen will be slow to believe
that the character of the food does no. Of
feet the quality as well as quantity of
milk.
Several of our stations think that they
have found that they could increase the
percentage of solid matter in milk by rich
food, and the belief is quite common
among dairymen. II is true hat the in
dividuality of the COW controls the quality
of the milk in degree, and too much
stress cannot be laid upon this fact Until
it is proven otherwise it viii be held that
both breed and iced affect both quality
