CINCINNATI TOBACCO MARKET.

The Cincinnati Leaf-Tobacco- Warehouse
Companys report, dated Cincinnati, o.,
September 2lst, says:
The market for the present week showed
some Improvement In the bidding on fine
tobacco and all the manufacturers were
liberal buyers. No change Tor the pet

grades. though they also received full
attention The offerings were large on

ance of the week Reflections not as nume-
rous as last week. Receipts liberal.

Like myself, he is evidently some
what Of All enthusiast over rapO culture.
| realize it is ali easy matter to OvereS-
innate the value Of this on amy other IL
crop, and that two OF three years ex-
~perience is not proof that it will be
profitable in all seasons and under oil
conditions, but that it is Il great aid i'll

conceded. Last yea [ SOWcd seven acres
the lOt1 Of june ON Il rich piece Ot
ground that had been soWn to Y and
corn in the fall and paStured until about
the goth Of May. The ground wa then
plowed and thoroughly narrowed and
allowed to Tie for one week and thorough
~ dragged again, and five acres sONll
broadcast with five pounds Of seed to
the acre. We ran out of seed on account
Of having sold SO much TO our nei2hbOrS
and had to send for more, and the two
acres We're then sulE1l after a thorough
dragging about ten days after the first.
The rape sOvn last was the cleunpSt
and most thrifty throughout the season,
which | attribute to the killing Of the
second crop of weeds with the harrow.
By the Goth Of Jnly the rape stood
one foot high, and l turned - rarl

pastures Were So completely dried up
that We had nothing to do but put the
sheep on the rape or into the barn. We
decided TO put 60 head of we Oh the
rape in the daytime and the ram lambs
on at night, and this we did for IA month
until the end Of the drought. The lambs

ROOT CROPS FOR STOCK.
How to Grow Them Cheaply and Without
Much Hard Labor.

Much Hard Labor.
In q bulletin issued from the Iowa sta
ton the importance IF root crops as sue
culent food for stock is emphasized. The
old idea that roots are an expensive and
laborious crop is denied.
-Four years experiments with vari-
cites has resulted in this station settling
down to three kinds. These are the Red
or Yellow Globe and Golden Tankard
mangels for early planting, the Strap
Leaved Flat turnip for late planting
and u medium white or yellow carrot
for horses.
The largest yielding variety and one,
all things considered, giving best results,
has been the Medium Red mangel. The
fat turnip grows less to top, gives a bet
ter yield and is more free from disease
than rutabaga and Swede turnip and is
in this vicinity II more satisfactory root
for late seeding.
While the fiat turnip yields we'll and
serves a good purpose for late planting,
it Is not as satisfactory a crop as
the manSel, for the reason that it is not
as good a keeper and contains less nutri-
tive matter. The mangel, properly
stored, may be kept fresh and sweet II
til May and June Of the following year.
Sugar beets grow we'll, but are harder
to start and are more difficult to gather
and clean, and their composition makes
them less desirable for feeding than the
mangel. Carrots grow slowly for several
weeks at the start and require moro
cultivation III the early stages, but come
Oh vigorously later, with q fair yield.
and they are decidedly the best roo for
horses.
Tho first essential in root crop growing
is thorough preparation Of the soil.
Sandy clay loan is best, but any good
porous soil will do. The soil needs to be
loosened to a good depth. Subsoiling is
necessary to the best results, though q
good crop a be grown without. Tho
surface must be put in the best possible
condition to insure rapid and even ger
mination. The disk and harrow, and the
roller when required, are the nipple
ments mainly relied upon. Plant whel
the ground is moist and warm. 1t re
quires from four to five pounds Of scet
per acre. The seed bed must be moist
for an even stand. The first cultivation
can be done with the wheel hoe. :
combined hoe, cultivator and seed drill
may be bought for about IS and will b'
found very satisfactory for all gardei
and small crop work. When the plant
are about three inches high. thin to
distance of eight or ten inches in the roy
and pull out the weeds. This is al tn
hard work necessary. After thinning, TIN
horse cultivator will do the rest. TIL
rows should ne from "a to 26 inche
apart, and with an even stand the top
will entirely shade the ground by tn
list Of August, and drought will not ma
terially affect the crop after that.

All Iowa correspondent Of Prairie
Farmer writes:
/ have found nothing better than my
W plan for the clover hay worm, and
I advise all farmers 10 try it. Put up
the hay perfectly dry and keep it up
from the ground at least one foot ALLOW
the air to pass freely underneath the
hay, and there will be no worms hatch.
The only place I have found them to
start was in the bottom Of stacks and
movys when left too close to the ground.
Then they work their way up i'll the hay
and damage it entirely rs tllpy g. The
last season | kept MY lay UP from III"

Wheat Fed to Stock.

The secretary of agriculture is i'll re-
ceipt of communication from a leading
manufacturer and business man of
Omaha giving the result of his observa-
ton and inquiries during Il recent trip
through the state of Kansas as to the
present outlook for the wheat crop in
that state and the extent to which wheat
has been fed to stock by Kansas farm
ers. Concluding his letter this CORE
spondent says, SIN Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and a portion of Missouri I should
estimate that between 331s per cent and
SO per cent Of last years crop has been
SO used, and if the farmers continue the
present ratio more than one-half Of last
years crop will hO fed to stock"

Live Stock Points.

The horntly pest may be looked for
the coming summer. The fly always
lays it's eggs in COW manure Where this
is sprinkled plentifully with lime OF
plaster the larvae are killed. Wherever
this is practicable it ought to be done.
There is never Il glut in the eastern
markets for fine lambs. Mutton is a
most healthful summer food.
The third day after calving COW is
considered to be past the danger of milk
fever.
In calculating the value of various
articles of food for live stock never omit
to add its worth as Il manure
The cheapest foods for man and beast
in America are the carbohydrates, or
starchy substances-that is to say, corn,
wheat and cereals of all kinds. That is
perhaps why we eat too much of them.
In Germany the cereals cost almost as
much as tho oil meals and heterogeneous
and fatty foods.

The Pigs.

The prevailing high price of pork will
induce farmers to promote the rapid de
velopment Of all their swine. Spring
pigs particularly will receive extra care
and attention. One of the requisites is Il
warm Gen., and it will pay to make it as
cozy as possible. Give the pigs plenty OF
bedding, separating this from the re-
mainder of the pen by board six inches
wide set upon edge. Give plenty of milk
for the first four weeks, mixing i'll Il lit,
tie cornmcal or chop stuff, after which
more solid food may be given. If obliged
to feed corn u other grain whole, it
should be soaked six hours in warm Wa
ter previous to feeding. Do not turn the
pigs out TO pasture until the grass is at
east six inches high, and il the object
be to produce fat they should be kept
under shelter until the desired size be
reached. When ut large, they spend Il
great deal OF time and do not gain very
fast in weight when roofing or racing
about. Do not allow any other swine
but the mother and pigs in the same pen,
feed her literally. and when Il DISPOSE
ton is shown to wcan them take away
all the ligs but one, removing that one
in a week thereafter. -Exchange.

These are moving times in newspaper
dom. The past three weeks have been
filed with stirring events, and the atmos-
phere Is today heavy with possibilities.
The President has been the main contrib
utor to the news market. and each of his
three messages to Congress has set the
whole world talking. The Star has kept
the people of the District thoroughly in
formed of the course of events, and it has
by issuing extra editions placed its I'M
equalled news distributing resources at the
service of the people In all the emergencies
that have lately arisen. 1t will continue to
print the earliest. latest and most reliable
news. and to remain ever on the alert to
inform it's readers of unusual tidings, such
as the Presidents Venezuelan message.
which was supplied In a Star extra exclu-
sively and promptly to thousands of inter-
ested Washington readers. and such as the
special message of last evening. which was
put on the streets in an extra edition with
out delay Immediately after its receipt by
the Senate. The Star recognizes. its re-
sponsibilities as Washingtons newspaper
and will always meet them.
