Has a Whistling Well.

On the farm of ohm Mclaughlin, this
county, is whistling well 200 feet deep.
At depth of 140 feet there is crevice
in the panel work through which the
air rushes with great force. When the
wind blows from the northeast or north
west the pipes freeze to the crevice, be-
low which they are exceedingly warm.
The well has been covered and pro-
vided with a silver whistle, which, when
it sounds, can be heard for mile and
quarter around. When the wind blows
from the south, east, southeast or south
west only will the sounds of the whistle
be heard. When the wind blows from
the other directions it is still. There is
always heard roaring, like the sound
of heavy waterfall, at the opening.
The well will also indicate a storm
twenty-four hours in advance in either
winter or summer.-Sh eboygan Journal
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-04-05
Feed Wet or Cooked.

One of the largest feeders of swine
gives his experience and judgment as
follows: I" find that if take ten BUSH
els of meal and wet it in cold water and
feed twenty-five hogs with it, they eat
it well; but if take the same quantity
and cook it, it doubles the bulk, and
will take the same number of hogs
twice as long to eat it, and l think they
fatten twice as fast in the same length
of time" Professor Stewart, in COM
menting on this, says he took two lots
of three pigs each from the same litter,
weighing 225 pounds each lot. Lot one
had corn meal soaked twelve hours in
cold water. Lot two had corn meal
cooked; each had all they would eat,
and each had a cock of early.cut clover
every day. Lot one consumed 2,111
pounds of meal and gained 420 pounds,
or 40 pounds each. Lot two gained
600 pounds, or 200 pounds each. Or
figuring it another way, he got eleven
pounds pork for bushel of meal soaked
in cold water, and 16.47 pounds for a
bushel when cooked, gain of nearly
five and one-half pounds to the bushel
getting half as much again for his corr
by cooking it. Professor Stewart fur
Their says that "by good management
the general feeder may reach with raw
corn eight pounds, with raw meal ter
pounds, with boiled corn twelve pounds
and with boiled meal fifteen pounds Of
live pork per bushel.

States, 1923 ,553 sheep, as against

eff dairy COW gets all the exercise
she needs by chewing her cud, why
cannot business man get all the ex-
ercise he needs by chewing gum?" The
Io,oa Homestead gives that poser to the
non-exercise crowd for answer.
THE already strong position of wool
has recently been reinforced by the
destruction of about one.ffth of the
total stocks in the Boston market.
Prices have, under a brisk demand,
advanced during the past few weeks in
all markets.
AT recent meeting of agriculturists
in York, England, the Earl of Win
chilsea stated that bill would soon be
introduced in parliament making it
compulsory to label foreign meats
which are to be sold in connection with
British meats.
THE Ayrshire Breeders Association
has been unable to raise the $4,000
necessary to place representatives Of
this breed in the Columbian dairy test,
and also unable to secure twenty five
COWS, and hence abandons the idea of
entering the test.
IT is not the finest qualities of butter
which enter into competition with the
fraudulent article, but the lower grades;
and it must be confessed that much of
the butter which might just as well as
not have been prime article is really
inferior to the best brands of butterine.
THE death knell of the old highway
district system has already begun to
ring, and soon it will be known only as
one of the bad customs of the past. 1t
may have had its uses in the past, but
it is not now suited TO our conditions.
No expensive method can ever take its
place; we must have system that will
give US better roads without increased
cost.
HoARD's DAIRYMAN believes firmly
in the doctrine advocated by g. III.
Everett of Beloit, at the Wisconsin
dairymen's convention, to the effect
that it is never wise to turn cows out to
spring pasture before the grass has &C
quired substance in the blade and
strength of root He practices feeding
liberal grain ration until the grass
shows good nutritious body.
DURING 1892, Great Britain's imports
of dead meats were valued at e22 $780,
1852 against goo, 1857 for 1891. Dur
ing the same years imports of live stock
for food purposes were valued at co.
360,715 and 60, 246,39S Among the
imports of dead meat by far the heaviest
item was bacon, to the valne of 81 $780,
121; fresh beef coming next with val
uation of GA, Alb, las, followed by NUT
ton with valuation of GO BAL, 102.
ACCORDING to experiments by Pro
fessor Roberts of Cornell University,
the value of manure from different
kinds of stock, computing nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid at their
commercial values, is as follows:
Horses, $3.50 per ton; cows, 80;
swine, 50 25; sheep, 81; and the guam
tity of manure produced per year by
each is estimated as follows: Horses,
seven and one-half tons; cows, four
teen; swine, one; sheep, one and four
tenths.

Clover Seed and Grass Seed.

Agricultural Editor Please pardon
me for writing you in relation to grass
seed. / do not get seed that is very
productive-get dwafish growth.
Glover grows low, and stalk with
blow on the end is about all there is of
it. l once raised clover that many
stalks would measure four or five feet
long, 80 thick and heavy that when put
mp for the cart, 1t was necessary to go
one side to load, as the cocks were so
thick. That was rather coarse. Now
