Current Weekly Comment.

CoRN-The market is quiet, but values
are higher, with lighter offerings both on
spot and to ship.
PoTAToEs,-Choice Al oostook and Houl-
ton Rose and Hebrons are in good demand
and firm at quotations.
WooL-The market is still quiet and very
irregular, but less on account OF lack of de-
mand than lack of supply.
OATs.-There is a quiet tone to the mar
ket, with valnes only fairly steady. Buyers
are meeting only pressing needs, and this
keeps the feeling slow.
CHEESE. - There has been little, il any,
change. The best late made large northern
are selling as wanted at IL to IL &c with ex-
ira twins a fraction higher. No demand for
under grades
BUTTER.-Receipts have fallen off but
trade has been so quiet that fine, fresh-made
goods have not cleaned up so well as last
week and although prices are held about as
last quoted, the tone is not quite so firm.
FLoUR.-The market continues inactive
with the demand confined TO such trade
brands as happen to be needed. In this
moderate way some flour is selling, but it
does not take much to meet buyers needs.
EGGs-Receipts have fallen off little
more than oneh half, compared with last
week, and as good deal of the stock here
has been held out of the market by order OF
shippers, the supply offering has been light
PoULTRY.-There is now but little dry
packed, fresh. killed stuff coming in, as IL is
getting late in the season and hardly safe TO
ship without ice. Small sales of dry packed
turkeys, chickens and fowls are making at
about former prices.
HAY AND SrRAw-The market is quiet all
along the line, while recent receipts OF hay
have caused some further accumulation.
The feeling is steady for the best hay, which
is selling fairly at $14 to S14.50. Rye straw
is quiet and firm and oat straw dull.
LUMBER.-The market looks better than
il has for some weeks. A demand for lum-
Der has developed and there is considerable
anxiety displayed in the opening OF ship
ments from the East. A few cargoes have
been shipped from places along the coast,
but the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers
have not opened as yet, although shipments
will be made from those places in the course
of few weeks. By the middle of April
shipments may be made from Bangor, Me.

is no better time for oiing harness
than some stormy day on which outdoor
work is forbidden by the weather. A
mixture of three parts meats foot oil to
one part of beef tallow is a splendid
application. A little lamp black may
be added to blacken the leather, and
also little castor oil to prevent the
mice from nibbling. But the best way
TO pre- vent the mice from nibbling the
harness is to hang it in a tight closet
and keep two or three good mousers
about the barn. When the harness is
being oiled is the proper time to make
any needed repairs. Thi work can be
done indoors on stormy days. 1t is GER
tainly much better to do it then and
not TO have vexatious breaks when
po wing is pressing TO be done. Very
nearly all the repairing that is necessary
can be doae at home. 1t will pay to
have on hand at all times a supply of
linen thread, wax, half dozen assorted
needles, avis, and especially an assort-
ment of copper rivets.-Pioneer Press.

Breaking a Horse of Tricks.

A writer in the National Stockman
has had success with this method of
breaking horse or colt of mean tricks.
The first step to take is to put halter
with nose-bands as near the nostrils as
can be kept on the nose securely-a
strap or rope that is flexible TO tie with.
Tie knot in the horses tail. Lead the
horse into an open space where there
is lots of room. Slip the end of the
halter stall through the tail above the
knot before tying. Get all ready so as
to make knot that you can unite by
simply pulling the moose end of the
STALL Pull the head around sideways,
not too far at first, until you see how
far the horse will stand without falling.
Sep TO one side for about half a min
ute, then grasp the loose end of the
stall, unite, and turn the horse's head
and let him walk the other way, then
slip the bride and drive few steps.
When you say whoa always have the
colt to stop. This plan of subduing
was practiced by Magner. - Pioneer

The Milking-StOOl.

Cows treated right never get sick;
therefore sick COW means an ill-treated
COW.
DON'T waste fresh milk on calf
after it is week old; skinned milk
will pay better.
If growing the calf for veal, you can
give it some fine corn meal and linseed
meal.
DON'T change your degree for churn-
weather changes.
WHEN a COW gets sick, find out
wherein you have done wrong by her;
then don't have another sick COW from
the same cause.
DON'T put the COWS on full grain
feed too rapidly; get them into it
slowly, then they will not be liable to
get off their feed.
THERE is always waste when COW
gets off her feed; waste of time, feed,
milk and health; besides, she will be
easier to get off again.
SOME cows milk better-and give
more milk-if they are fed while being
MIXED. How do you feed, before or
after milking, or while milking?
Cows cannot be fed by strict rule.
Each one must be fed according to her
requirements, and, if she requires m )re
than is profitable, she should be sold at
once.
CALVES will eat hay when they are
very young. Tie bunch of nice clover
hay within reach of the calf when it is
week old, and so soon as that bunch
is eaten give it another.
THE calf will emf the liberty of a
pen better than it will to be tied in a
corner. Just watch it when it has fin
ished drinking its milk and see how it
will run around the pen. The tied-up
calf can only hop up and down.-Na-
tiOnal StOckmon.

use The harrow to stir the ground till
the corn is ready for the cultivator.
Up to this point the ground should be

Cultivation of Corn for Ensilage.

do believe that corn is the crop for
ensilage in New England, because we
can raise ensilage per ton cheaper with
the corn crop than we can with any of
the other smaller crops; and, besides, we
can cure the smaller cereal crops better
than we can the corn crop, if we wish
to use them for fodder. | have used
for ensilage the sheep tooth white
southern variety, which is variety that
is quick, strong grower and very pro-
life in ears, variety that gives large
tonnage per acre and one that will
reach the milk stage of maturity by
early September, if planted by May 20.

and then leave it as long as you can be-
fore blowing, thus allowing the ground
to get warm and also the grass to get a
good start, which is all beneficial to the
corn crop. But be sure to have it
planted by the 25th of May. l would
advise that the cultivation of the ground
be very thoroughly done, making it
very mellow, for this has much to do
with the after cultivation of this crop.
Then work the rows and get them
straight, for this assists much in the
after cultivation of the crop. Put 300

washington. ID. c.. April I'm view
Of the clOsins of German markets TO
American cattle there is another direC-
tion toward which American packers
might well turn their attention, and
that is the preparation ana sale Of
horse meat The above is the SUgges-
ton made by United States Consul Il.
w. Tingle, at Brunswick. Germany,
in a report TO the state Department.
He SAYS that i'm large German cities the
consumption OF horse heat is almost
as great as that of beef and mutton
and it is growing i'm the smaller towns.
OF course the customers are exclusive
ly of the poorer classes but they COM
rl~ts5 uIIue-ttdJAS OF che consumers or
the country and the meat is sold for
seven cents a pound as against beef at
from fifteen 90 twenty-five cents. The
Consul sets out reasons TO prove that
horse meat is quite as good as beef.
Tie SAYS the demand has increased so
rapidly In Germany that il is difficult
to meet it and whereas butchers for
merly paid from S. 10 $40 for q worn
out horse for slaughter they now pay
SO and $50 and prices are rising. The
C0nsuls sees here q great opportunity
for American packers. He says the
horse supply I'm America is practically
ineXhausUble they can De raised i'm
the West cheaper than cattle and are
more easily shipped. The meat cannot
be canned but it can be furnished salt
ed or smoked as well as fresh. just as
it is used i'm Germany. The report
touches upon the astOuishingB rapid
disuse of horses i'm America consequent
upon the introduction of the trolley
car which has made horse raising i'm
the West Improbable. and urges that
the rancbmen may find relief 10y rails
ing horses for food. the prejudice
against the meat i'm America being no
good reason why he should not profit
by the different state of things in an
other country.
