Spring Crops VS.. FAN Crops.

Unless the season is unfavorable,
the markets are almost invariably
glutted with fruit and produce in
the fall and winter. Every body then
wants to sell, to realize money for
current expenses, and prices are too
often sweak and unremunerative
The p oduction of early stuff-aspar-
agus, strawberries, and other vege-
tables and fruits, is not SO common
as the staple crops and when a good
market is convenient this early truck
is generally the most profitable. The
Spring and early summer market is
better paying one than the fall
market. This is great point, and
well worthy the farmers best consid

they had a right to keep money won from

Better Than Corn.

Wheat is more valuable than corn,
pound for pound, as feed,
where muscle and lean meat
are wanted 1t is not quite
as valuable to feed to fattenlng
hogs, unless steamed or soaked thor
oughly. But ground half and half
with corn it will excel corn as a
straight feed, as it furnishes the
necessary food to grow lean meat,
making better DIRK for food than the
too fat hog product. For nearly all
other feed wheat is better than corn.
