HUBBARD BROS. q CO.'S LETTER.
New York, July Special 1.-The
advance in Liverpool this morning was
sharp under the influence Of American
buying orders based upon the bad crop
accounts from the Mississippi Valley.
These accounts are almost incredible.
did they not come from merchants Of
high standing and indicate a condi-
ton of the crop which would reduce
the yield below the actual consump-
ton requirements unless some change
for the better occurs before long.
Locally the trade is 10th to believe
these reports and cotton has been
freely sold by holders this morning
upon the belief that reaction from
this sharp advance is due.
This is not at all unusual 1T the
commencement of an advance due TO
bad crop advices. The situation, is
however, peculiar in that there is little
il any speculative long interest, the
trade being generally short OF ship
ments to European spnners and do
not know whether to cover their EN-
gagements or to wait for better crop
accounts. Heavy realizing for local
operators who look for reaction from
this advance caused the market to
close barely steady at to points adj
vance from yesterday. This reaction
will, it is thought, bring a lower
Liverpool market tomorrow, though
the evidence of crop damage is cumu-
lative and now not at all uncertain.
The local feeling is bearish.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Plan to make hog killing as easy an
possible.
Don't waste time and effort trying to
grow crops not adapted to your soil or
climate.
When we reflect that large proper
ton of milk is made up Of water, we
see the Importance of furnishing the
cows with pure water.
III. s. Matteson says: 81 do not be-
lieve that COW milks any easier for
having her teats wet, any more than
believe a man can lift more when he
spits on his hands"
What man has done man can do.
Many dairies have succeeded in getting
their herds up to an average of 300
pounds of butter per cow per year. All
should strive for it.
A fair estimate OF hay for n COW Is
from IS to 20 pounds per day. A milch
cow will eat four or five pounds more
than dry one, and large cow viii Of
course eat more than a small one, under
similar conditions.
IT is said that the color on the inside
OF the ear is an infallible guide in the
selection OF n good butter COW. II the
skin on the inside of the ear is of rich
yellow color, the COW is sure 20 give a
good quantity of milk that is rich in
hutter.
The sofa bean has given great salts
faction in the Ohio station. IL is a
hardy. rapid grower, and gives a good
yield of very rich forage. The black is
the only variety that natures seed that
far north. but the green makes better
hay, as IL holds it's leaves better. For
hay, plant them with the grain drill; for
seed, plant and cultivate as corn.

BuTcHERlNo Time.


Dressing OF Hogs
Butchering time Is near at hand;
have plenty OF dry wood up. kettles and
scalding tub ready. the old gun ready 10
shoot, and the knives sharpened. Meat
killed in moderately cool weather will
take salt better and keep sweeter than
that killed in severely cold weather.
Under latter conditions IL is liable to
freeze or chill before the animal heat
and smell leaves the carcass.
Water heated with hot limestone
rock will clean hog better than water
heated in kettles. If you heat in ket-
ties, put shoyelful of ashes in the
scalding tub; 100 degrees is scalding
heat, but water at ITS to $50 degrees
will do the work much quicker, but
with more danger of setting the hair.
The thermometer is the best test of the
proper heat, but old butchers readily
test it by the feel of the water on the
hands.
Shoot your hogs down before sticking
them, 1t Is more humane and even IL it
was not, shot hog will bleed more
freely than one stuck alive. The proper
place to shoot is where lines drawn from
each eye TO the opposite ear would cross.
Use a small charge of powder. or il you
use breech-loading gun. use short cart
ridges. AS soon as the hog drops stick
him. Roll him on his back, put the
point of your knife, which should not
be more than six inches hong, right in
front of the breast bone, direct IL toward
the root OF the tail, thrust il in and with
draw it quickly to prevent shoulder
sticking from the struggles of the dying
animal. Scald the front end first, and
when the hog is clean hang it on the
gallows pole and scrape down. Use hot
water at first, and finish it up with
bucket or two of cold water.
Take the insides out of the hog just
as soon as you can after IL is hung up.
Put your knife in at the hole made in
sticking and rip up through the breast
bone and ribs; this will allow any blood
that has settled in the lungs TO run out
while you finish the job. Split down be-
tween the hams and cut around the
vent; pull and cut until you have the
bung gut loose for six inches. Tie
string around IL and push IL back into
tho carcass. Finish cutting down in
front, and put your left hand under the
intestines as they roll out; with the
right hand tear everything loose from
the back bone, using the knife with
care, so as to avoid cutting the entraiIs.
Cut the gullet in front of the stomach,
and take the stomach out with the rest
OF the entrails. Remove the liver, lungs
and heart after the rest is done. IL the
hog Is not bloody inside, use no water
to clean It, but wipe il dry with cloth.
Even il the inside of the hog is rather
bloody. IL may be wiped clean with little
trouble; the meat will take salt better
II kept dry.-C. d. Lyon, in Rural World.

Rice is said by those who have tried
Il, to be the very best of food for fowls,
and that il possesses more fattening
qualities Than corn. In the Carolinas
and the rice growing regions OF the
south. rice meal or broken rice can be
purchased from one-fourth 10 one
half cent per pound, and Is largely used
as feed in those sections. Poultry
men within easy reach of the southern
or gulf scaboard car thus get a cheap
poultry food at small cost for freight.
Rice will never produce diarrhoea in
fowls or animals like some grains. but
will check IL when produced by other
causes. With broken rice, Kafilr corn,
and wheat, we not only have good
ration for chicks. but an ideal food for
broilers.-Southern Fancier.
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1896-11-21

Glass on the south, cast and west of
the poultryhouse is OF course necessary
to the health and COMFORT of the fowls.
One can err, however, on the side of
too much glass. II is n great mistake to
make a poultryhouse after the pattern
of q greenhouse. 1t won't do at all, for
the change between day and night tenn
perature is far too much. The fowls
viii become sick and unproductive. A
window for every six or eight running
feet on the south side with n window on
both the east and west bides, will be all
the sash surface necessary. In cold
northern climates / would advise the
use OF shutters or double windows or
both. These will keep out any amount
of cold and wind and pay for them
selves hundred times over.-W. T.. Per-
kins, In National Stockman.
