AGRICULTURAL.
Cheap Things.

When person pays out money he
likes to think he is getting dollar and
q quarters worth for dollar. Mer-
chants and manufacturers know how to
take advantage of this characteristic OF
human nature, and how to persuade
people that they are giving more for the
money than anybody else. And people
are always on the lookout for "bar-
gains" and perhaps men like bargains
as we'll as women, though the contrary
is generally supposed. But the 80
called cheap goods are often dearer
than the higher priced, though there
are circumstances under which goods
can be bought at considerable saving.
But it needs good deal of thought
and watching the course of things to
learn when it is safe to buy "cheap."
One of the ways was suggested in the
WATcHMAN few weeks ago under the
head of "Buying at Wholesale" An
other way to buy goods low is to buy
winter goods in the spring and summer
goods in the fall. This fall, summer
goods will probably be low and plenty
as the season has been 30 cool that hot
weather goods have not sold freely.
OF course those who have to wear the
latest styles and to whom an out of
date garment would be terror cannot
adopt any such advice. But for good
many people and for some kinds of
clothes, this is most excellent plan.
Underwear can be bought at cost usu-
ally in February or little later. And
one who is on the watch can save many
dollars in this kind of buying, if there
are many to buy for. Aside from this
and the wholesale buying, we do not
put much faith in low priced goods.
Take farm shoes, or those sold as
"plow shoes" They are coarse and
heavy but have the merit of being
cheap and 30 men buy them. But they
usually last only one season, or if they
do last two, the second season brings
many penny into the cobbler's pocket.
This season instead of buying pair Of
cheap shoes, we took a $3.50 pair.
They were well made, were easy to
wear, not heavy, made of good stock,
and looked well. That has to be con-
sidered by farmer who meets many
city men. And it is such comfort to
have shoe set well, to have no torture
in getting it shaped to the foot, And
one feels so much better every way in
good looking, we'll fitting shoe than in
coarse, i'll made, clumsy looking shoe.
After nearly seasons use, these shoes
show little signs of wear. We think
they are far cheaper than the cheap
shoes,

Foolish Farmers.

The editor of this paper recently
made visit to central New York, for
merly the home of thorough going, in
telligent dairy farmers. Sad to say
there has taken place most lamenta-
BILE decay Of the old thrift and strong
farming sense which once character
lied that region. A great deal of milk
is now shipped from the railroad sta
a considerable surplus Of milk, and it is
set in cold water, and the cream is
shipped in place of the milk. The
Dreaming is not very thoroughly done,
and 30 lot of most excellent skim
milk is left. We were informed that
the milk agent found it hard work to
sell this skim milk to the farmers for
twelve cents a hundred pounds; that
is, forty-quart can of this milk was
offered for ten cents. Here was Sec
ton of the country where the farms
are declining in both fertility and value,
where in comparison with it's area but
little live stock is raised, where hard
times among the farmers is much worse
than in Kansas or Nebraska, portion
of the state where once the COW was
queen, and the farmers were strong,
intelligent, thrifty people, and good
skim milk goes begging for twelve cents
a hundredl Dressed pork is selling for
over IS hundred, and veal calves in
proportion still higher. When a set of
farmers do not know that good skim
milk at twelve cents hundred is
bargain, what must be the real state of
dairy intelligence among them? These
farmers have been sneering at book
farming" for years; they have been
calling the institute workers "the-
orists," and every effort on the part of
experiment stations, dairy papers and
all other agencies, has been thrown
away in striving to make them see
good, clean agricultural truth. Their
estimate of the value of the skim milk
is key to their sound practical knowl-
edge of the dairy business in general.
just as long as such state of knowl-
edge and judgment presides over their
farm operations, will they cry "hard
times" and the mortgage and sheriff
be their last resort.
surround them is to throw aside their
foolish prejudices against knowledge
and proceed TO learn something of what
is the truth concerning the important
facts of modern, not ancient dairy farm
ing. When young men tell you they
never read experiment station bulle-
tins, that they take no stock whatever
in the farm institutes, and, at the same
time, they are about to be sold out I'M
der mortgage, on farm their old father
gave them free of debt, there is some
thing wrong in the brain machinery of
those men, and no mistake. -Hoard's

Boston Wool Market.
MICHIGAN,
Current Comment.

OATs.-The market is quiet, and 1t does
not take much to meet buyers needs, but
the tone Of prices holds very steady.
CHEEsE.--Receipts for export, 2,794 boxes.
There has been no material improvement in
the condition Of the market during the
past week. Offerings are liberal and de-
mand light.
CoRN.-The market has ruled quiet and
easier during the week, with value 1c
lower at the close. Receipts have been
liberal, but are large for export, the local
call being small
.-Receipts have been liberal since
our last report, but most OF the arrivals
have been more or less affected by heat
mixed with held stock or otherwise defec.
tive, and have been very unsatisfactory
goods to handle.
BUTTER.-There has been a marked adj
vance in prices since our last weekly re-
port. Receipts have been moderate and
there has been steady demand for all
grades. The sales OF extra fresh Northern
Creamery have been 21c for tubs and &c for
boxes.
BEANs.-Marrow pea beans are still com.
ing forward freely, are having q very dull
sale and are hardly quotable at over S1.15,
although some are holding higher Choice
mediums are in limited supply and steady
Yellow eyes in moderate supply and firm at
quotations.
FLoUR.-The flour market has ruled easier
during the week, the lower price Of wheat
having weakened the tone yet more and
the demand has again fallen fat. Buyers
have no stock ahead but they are not i'm
pressed by the outlook, and will only pur-
chase as forced to have supplies. Wheat
has been tending downward, and this
makes buyers look for lower values, there
having been no disposition shown to stock
up on the break.
LUMBER.-,Within week the market has
not improved materially. The call for lum-
Der is fair and dealers are able to take care
OF what comes forward. This is not much
just at present. The mills that closed down
some weeks ago on the Penobscot and st,
Johns river remain 80, and there are no in
dications that they will start up very soon.
Cargo lumber in truth is not moving as we'll
as it might, many dealers evidently having
| very little fear as to the immediate future
OF the market. 1t cannot be denied, how
| ever, but that values are better than they
were in August, and the tendency is strong
| ly upward.
WooL.-The market continues active and
buoyant. Large sales have again been
made and prices have further advanced.
The operations of spectators have been
the features, as the principal business OF
the week was on their account. In this
way large lines of territory and similar
woods have changed hands, showing that
! there is still unlimited confidence in the
strong situation, and that higher prices are
| anticipated. In Australian and other for
eign woods there has also been consider
able business put through, and more could
have been done were it not that supplies
are in exceptionally strong hands, holders
| having refused a great many temptations to
sell. This remark will also apply to most
kinds OF domestic woods.

SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.-Mr.
James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones
& Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking of DIR.
Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked with Ia
grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed
to develop into hasty consumption.
Having DIR. Kings New Discovery in
store, and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and, to the surprise of all,
she began to get better from first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and we'll. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption, coughs and
colds is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottles at G.
Blakely's drug store.

they were presented to large and

The Fall Flowing.

In the fall or winter wheat and rye
sections the fall blowing begins as soon
as the harvest is done or sooner. The
wheat has to be sown early in Septem-
Der, the rye in the latter part of the
month. But in the country farther
north where these grains are not grown,
blowing is seldom done until the month
of October. There are some advan-
tages in this, the weather is cooler for
the teams, the land does not have to lie
bare in the hot sun-a very bad plan,
and other work is out of the way. The
winter wheat and rye sections give the
men and teams no rest from the be-
ginning of harvest until the ground
freezes. The northern farmer usually
has little resting spell after the hay
harvest, especially on farms where the
growing of small grains has ceased.
To most farmers blowing is blowing.
1t is simply hitching span of horses
to plow and 60 to work. But there
is blowing and blowing. A man may
60 into field and lay out piece of
work, pillow straight, handsome fur
rows laid over fiat, and leave the field
in the most beautiful shape and yet do
poor piece of blowing. The fact is,
very few men know just what we pillow
for, or how to do it in the best way.
The soil must be pulverized, and the
simple inverting it, just turning it over
without making it finer, is of little use.
AS the plow turns the soil, the furrow
slice should be broken so that it will
look rough, and instead of being turned
clear over, it should be partly pushed
over 30 as to lean against the next fur
row. Every pillow should have 'joint-
err" little pillow or curved steel running
in front of the pillow and turning bit of
the edge of the furrow over so that as
the furrow slice is turned, this edge
laps under and buries all the green turf
out Of sight. So the furrow can stand
nearly upright but leaning over against
the next furrow and yet no green show.
Then the harrow can 90 over these
burrows and easily finish the work be-
gun by the pillow,
We have had good deal of expert
ence in blowing stony ground. This
fall we are blowing land that is not
stony but parts of it are steep and
there are spots where there is rod or
two of hard clay. For several years we
have used National Reversible Sulky
Plow and found we could do better
work with it in stony land than with a
common plow. This fall we tried three
horses abreast, but the uphill work and
the hard clay made trouble so we
hitched on the fourth horse and now
we can pillow up hill and down, and
through the hard clay. The pillow
stands the strain and does splendid
