Clean Grain,

So long as the quality determines
the price it is important to have the
grain as clean as possible. In many
cases little care in threshing would
be all that would be necessary to
have the grain in a good marketa-
Bile condition, while in others it may
be necessary to use the tanning mill
and clean thoroughly before market
ing. This is work that will always
pay and especially when prices are
low. When there is good demand
for any particular product the quail
ity is not looked after so closely as
when the market is overstocked and
prices are low. With small grain il
always pays to take considerable
pains in threshing TO sec that the
work is done properly.
With dry grain little care in adj
justing the machine will aid mater
tally in doing better and cleaner
work. II the grain is wet or is so
foul with weeds that tho machine
will not clean thoroughly it will pay
to run the grain through a tanning
mill before taking to market The
average farmer can nearly always
better afford to do this rather than
take the lessened price. The farmer
can generally clean grain as econom-
ically as the warehouse man or
miller. and if they dock for the work
OF cleaning will always dock sufi-
GENTLY to make it profitable to them.
When the grain Is threshed is the
best time TO select the grain for seed
ing the next crop, as with all crops
good care should be taken TO select
the best. 1t is only by using good
care in the selection of the best that
it is possible to maintain the quality.
as il comes from the machine is q
very good time to select what is
needed for seed. In a majority of
cases IL will be best to select more
than is really needed so that sec
ond cleaning can be given before

Fifteen cents month, it is
claimed, is a fair price for pasturing
a large sheep, when pasture must be
hired.
Salt is destructive to the parasites
that are found in sheep or other ami
mails, TO a certain extent, and that
fact suggests the wisdom of supply
ing it to the focks.
The Easter lamb is a prof table
lamb If the spring lamb business
is attempted at all, every effort
should be made to get the lambs into
market as early as possible.
1t is a mistake to urge all farmers
to keep sheep as some writer's do
Some farms are not at all suitable for
sheep, and the same is true of some
farmers. We are not all fitted to
follow the same business.
Lambs that are being forced for
the market sometimes gorge them
selves and die with the staggeEs.
They should not be permitted to do
this. If it does happen, however,
purge with Epson salts.
While milk for lambs should be

food commissioner, who is given
much latitude in such cases, order
that every can should have stamped

Thus it will be seen that in the past
ten years the production of gold has
increased steadi but slowly, while
the silver supply has been very rapidly
developed.
It's interesting to know the couu-
tries which are the chief contribui ors
of metallic wealth. In 1891, at the
head of the gold producers stood the
. United States, with &39 ,000,C 0e. Second
was Australia, with S3l, 600. 600. Third
came Russia. whose mines in the IRA
mountains have always furnished a
considerable tribute, with S24, OOO.O00
Fourth is Africa, with $4,000 0.
Fifth is China, s., 900, 0U0 Sixth is the
South American republic of Colombia,
with 80, 400, 600. British India comes
next with $1,000, 900. All the other
countries are small contributors.
OF silver countries tie United States
stands ut the head, with S75, 900, 900.
Second is Mexico, with So, 600, 90.
Bolivia is third, with $4,000, 900.
Austria is fourth, with $4,000 0OC.
There are no other large producers.
Germany mines SILVER in the Hartz
mountains, celebrated in European
literary demonology, and etands fifth,
with S., 100000. Chile produces 50, 900
600. Austria Hungary, Spain and
France e CHI lake out something more
than S2,00O,000 annually, as do the
combined Central American states.
Russia, which is rich in gold and plati-
mum, is credited with pittance of
$500, 900 of silver, while Mexico which
is one of the greatest silver pr ducers.
turns out only about 81, 600, 600 in gold.
All the Central Am rican states in
1891 produced only $l5o,CO0 In gold.
The Argentine Republic in South
America would, from its name, be
taken for n rich silver state; but it is
only credited with 5000, 900 of silver
and little no gold
