Guessing at the Weight of Hay.

Il requires good judgment to estimate the
amount of hay in stack or NOW. Different
kinds of hay have different weights per cubic
foot and the old rule that 500 cubic feet will
make ton, taking the NOW through, is prob
ably as near as any positive rule can be made,
says the Orange County Farmer. The ability
to guess closely comes in this, as in every
thing else, from experience, though some
have natural aptitude which enables them
to learn easily. Hay that is put in rather
green packs more closely, and will, therefore,
weigh more. After once moving when dry il
cannot be packed again so closely, as it will
settle in & NOV unless a hay press is used
| The coarse kind of clover, or, indeed, clover
| OF any kind, will not settle in the NOW as will
fine hay, though this depends much on how
we'll dried the cover is.

His tired feet the skies have pressed;
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
Gone, but not forgotten

For the Week Ending Tuesday, Oct.
3, 1898.
BY Willis Moore, Forecast Official, MIL
The rain which began on Friday OF
last week continued with slight in
Permission and has given the state an
average of about two inches. This
has thoroughly wet the ground and
placed it in good shape for continu-
alton of fall blowing and some seed
ing yet to be done. To the grain
already sown the rain will prove a
great benefit, although there are few
cases where the drouth had withered
the grain after sprouting, and some
cases where the grain has been in the
ground without sprouting too long.
The acreage of fall grain will be be-
low the average as formerly reported.
Very little has been sown in northern
counties.
Pasturage was generally too dry to
be revived by the rain, at least to give
feed this fall and feeding Of stock
will continue.
Corn, now being husked, is proving
better than anticipated, but is only a
fair crop.
The forest fires have been entirely
extinguished.
The reports of the cranberry crop
show slight increase over last weeks
reports; the yield is thus above one
half of the largest crop grown and
nearly twice that of last year. Pick
ing, now nearly completed, has shown
less harm than was thought to have
resulted from the frosts.
The season as a whole has proven
an average one to the Wisconsin
farmer; winter grains and hay were
good crops, spring grains an average,
corn not large but better than the
drouth gave cause to expect, potatoes
only fair, poor in some sections, good
II others, tobacco an average yield
although grown under difficulties,
while fruits were generally good ex-
cepting apples.

favorable by the removal of legal re-
strictions.
Several of the Philadelphia manufac-
turers of woolens are ready to abandon

getting suitable qualities of wool cause
them more trouble and expense than
they anticipate from revenue tariff.
