How many bushels of wheat in a bar
rel Of flour? The testimony of leading
flour manufacturers is at variance on
this question. The largest manufacture
ing concern in the world, located at
Minneapolis, reports that while ordi-
narily AZ to AZ bushels Of wheat are
used to make a barrel of flour the pres
ent low prices of wheat and wheat otfal
make these today the cheapest animal
foods in the country; that in conse-
quence Of this it is safe to say many
miliers are using over five bushels of
wheat to barrel of -four. 1t really
makes no difference how much wheat
they use, as the offal is worth practical
ly as much as the wheat costs, says the
Orange Judd Farmer, which adds: If
10 to 30 per cent more wheat is used in

Handling Fodder.

1t is told III Iowa Homestead how to
handle corn fodder with a double har-
poon fork. A correspondent says: l use
truck wagon with a large hayrack on
it, and have several ropes with which to
tie the fodder in bundles. l put from
two to four shocks of corn in one bum
die and draw this quite tight with the
rope. The wagon will hold eight or ten
such bundles. In putting it in the barn
l use the harpoon the same as hay and
can say that it is by far the easiest way
to unload fodder, as it is not as hard
work as hauling up hay and can be un-
loaded as fast as man in the NOV can
unite the ropes.

Live Stock Points,

Never buy horse feed mixed by
dealers. There is too much of oat hulls
in it. Get the materials and mix the
feed yourself. Oat hulls as an article
OF nourishment are worthless.
At the New York horse show the
hackney was above all the most fashion
able and popular. The main reason
seems to be because he holds his head
high and lifts his knees high. Likewise
when you hit him upon the rump he
stretches himself out fore and aft like a
jumping kangaroo. But he is all the
fashion, and there is money in him.
The hideous fashion of docking horses
tails increases The poor stump left is
as painful, unsightly and pathetic as
the stump of mans mutilated wrist

Here is the New Jersey experiment

pounds timothy hay, s pounds ground

under an appropriation contained in the
sundry civil act of March 2. 1895. The
senator also filed comprehensive bri ef
on the subject.
The contention Of the senator, briefly
stated, was that the commissioner OF in
teTnal revenue failed in his duty in not
sending his finding an allowance of the
Oxnard company to tne secretary OF the
treasury instead of the auditor that the
comptroller of the treasury had no jrlris-
dictiOn OF the matter; that the cause can
not go to the court of claims because it
is one which congress itself mas acted
upon, because section 1868 of the revised
statutes is repealed by section 13 of the
act OF 1887, and because the claimant does
not consent to such reference, the latter
act requiring such consent; also that if it
be sent to the court of claims it would

began after the Withdrawal OF Valkyrie
IL from the contests for the America 8
cup this year. The pamphlet is regarded
by the British press as being complste
vindication or Lord Dunraven and as an
unanswerabe indictment of the Amer
leans. The serious part of the publica-
tion is tnat Lord Dunraven, after a
months consideration, records his DELHI
crate opinion that he was the victim of
foul play, for this is the essence of mis-
statement regarding the measurements.
Naturally, therefore. the press comments
this afternoon are very unpleasant read
ing to Americans.
The GlOba. for instance, says 1t trusts
that Americans will never again defend
the cup against an English sportsman,
until we more fully appreciate the eth
Cs of sport.

still moro decisive expression OF opinion
given concerning that measure. The
electors had spoken in terms which could

he can exclude US from that fertile
