Fifty Cent wheat.

Referring to the fact that some
farmers are selling wheat for fifty cents
a bushel at the mill, the Ohio Farmer
has the following to say: NOW why
will farmers act thus? Such prices are
far too low for all the facts. % Too
low for central markets now. 1t quotes
Ga cents in Cleveland and IS cents in
Chicago. (2) Too low for the near
future; December wheat already quotes
about 10 cents higher. 90 Toe low for
other grain. At so or even So cents
wheat is far cheaper horse or dairy
feed than oats or corn at present prices,

low for hay, which is 81 per ton in
Cleveland for best bulk timothy and $50
to $40 in England. England could better
pay $1.10 per bushel for American wheat
for feed than $40 per ton for hay (5)

Violence at a Funeral.

MUNCIE. Aug. 13.-Special-A very
unpleasant. occurrence took place at a
funeral near DeSota, this county, last
Wednesday, Henry Cough went to the
home of Thomas Wilcox TO attend the
funeral Of his child. Mr.. and Mrs. Cough
had been divorced and the woman had
gone to the Wilcox home to reside with
her parents. Cough arrived during the
services. When the irate father-in-law,
Mr.. Wilcox, espied him he stopped
further proceedings until Cough was
bodily fired from the farm. The affair
caused quite a commotion and made new
friends for Cough, who idolized the
child. He had been married but two
years.

low by far according to any COMPARE

add that it is far too low for the actual
cost of production. And it will remain
low just so long as farmers rush il upon
the market at whatever price the millers

do not keep an expense account you do
not know anything about it, and so,
Of course, it is all right.
The age to which an animal can be
kept to the best advantage is dependent
on so many contingencies that no abso-
lutte rule can be Ibid down. Each
stockman and farmer must figure care
fully upon this for himself.
The Practical Farmer says that the
keeping Of a pig. whether for feeding or
for breeding purposes, should be about
the same, up to five or six months old.
In both cases muscular Development
should be the principal object sought.
The dairyman who has the courage to
establish a standard of production for
his COWS, then to test each one to see
that they come up TO it, disposing Of
such as do not, and filling their places
with others, is on the road to success.
The mutton market is growing more
particular all the time The people who
eat mutton are getting so that they
know the good from the poor. The
more the public is educated along this
line the better, both for it and the
grower.
If feeders understand the feeding
values Of the different foods there is no
question but that the stock would be
put upon the market at much less cost
than is now generally the case. Very
often it means the difference between
profit and loss.
1t is an easy matter to keep up the
fertility Of the farm if you keep good
stock, feed the animals well and look
after the manure. But unless you do
this it will always be a trouble and n
tax to maintain the original productive
ness of the land.
The digestibility of food is most i'm
portant factor to be considered in deter
mining its value. Corn as cut for the
silo. is one of the most digestible Of all
fodder plants. Hungarian grass is more
digestible than timothy; roots are more
so than any of the foregoing.
