Current Comment.

OATs.-There is a quiet demand noted
from day to day, with prices lower.
CoRN,-The demand has ruled dull dur
ing the past week, with prices about 1c low
er to sell.
oas.-Receipts are still liberal but show
no improvement in quality and strictly
choice fresh stock is not at all plenty.
POTATOES. : Receipts have been heavy
this week. There has been very good de-
mand however, and prices were we'll sus-
tanned.
CHEEsE.--Receipts for export, 3,508 box
es. There has been no material improve
ment since our last report. Receipts are
liberal and demand light at unchanged quo
tations.
HAY.-The receipts of new hay are lib
eral, and the market is easy as a whole.
Fancy old or new hay would sell above
quotations If it was to be had.
BEANs.-Receipts OF marrow pea beans
continue liberal and demand is still very
slack. Best lots are quoted at S1.l5, but it
is a nominal price. No large quantity could
be placed unless very liberal concessions
were made.
BUTTER Receipts have been moderate
and prices for fresh goods have advanced
another cent since our last report. But at
the advance there is light demand for
fresh goods, an increasing proportion of
buyers using fine June stock instead.
FLoUR.-The movement in flour has been
| slow the past week, with lower prices rul-
ing at the close. Wheat has worked down
in price, and this has unfayorably affected
the trade as well as the price OF flour Buy
ers will not stock up at the lower prices
ruling as they have lost confidence, but they
are yet coming in from time to time, as sup
plies are needed.
WooL.-Ssles for the week. 13,743, 500
pounds. This breaks the record again for
weekly sales. The sales for the week con-
tinue large, in spite of the fact that there
are several of the largest operators who are

1t is now time for the progressive

Handling Cattle.

Prof. G. S. Plumb has been spending
the summer abroad, and in letter to
an exchange he says:
Perhaps nothing has so impressed
me as l have gone about as the in
timacy existing between the man and
his stock. Instead of beir g timid and
wild the animals have been docile and
very approachable under the various
conditions met. One may go into the
pasture in most cases and handle the
stock with fair degree of satisfaction,
even though not tethered. In Holland
l saw immense meadows with hundreds
of cattle upon them, and more docile
beasts l never saw. In going about
among some of them they were per-
fectly Indifferent to the appearance of
strangers, and photographs were cas-
lily taken. Both at Jersey and Guern.
sey the cattle are all tethered, and are
very docile. saw small boys, leading
two and three cows at time, holding
different rope for each COW. Yet the
work seemed easily done. In Ayrshire
the cattle roamed the fields with free
dom, but they were very quiet as we
saw them. In Belgium every animal
from the dog up is put to service, so
that docility is common quality. l
saw two fine mich cows hitched up
with bits in their mouths, hsuling a
large load of grain from the field, and
it was a common sight to see them at
work blowing, etc, in the fields. A

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh

The Cost and Feeding Value Of Dried
Corn Fodder and Of Silage.

We have received bulletin 122 of the
New Jersey Experiment Station in
which is given detailed account of a
carefully conducted experiment carried
on to determine whether or not it is
more profitable to make fodder corn into
silsge than to dry cure it in the field.
The corn Welded 11,25 tons of greet
forage TO Al tons of cured forage per
acre. That of which silage was made
was cut into Z inch lengths and put in
silo. The other was shocked in the
field and hauled to the barn in Octo-
Der and cut as needed to feed, into the
same lengths as the silage. 1t was
found that it cost 6.3 per cent more to
prepare the silage for feeding than it
did the field cured fodder. This diff
ference was mainly on account of the
extra cost of hauling the green fodder.
The grain ration fed with each was a
good and ample one and the same in
both cases. They were fed an equal
amount of dry matter with both silage
and dry fodder. The silage they ate up
clean, but left some iof the dry fodder.
1t was found that the losses in dry mat
ter were about the same in SLIDING as in
ulJ
The trial lasted twenty -four days;
the cows were divided into two lots.
One lot fed silage twelve days and fed
dry fodder the same length of time,
then they were changed about, those
having silage were fed dry fodder and
those first fed dry fodder were fed 81
lage.
1t was found that when led dry fod-
der, the cows fell off in flow of milk
much faster than when fed silage, so
that the yield of milk was 1873 per cent,
and of butter fat 1914 per cent greater
from silsge, than from its equivalent
in dry fodder.
This gain from feeding silage is &C
counted for in part, at least, by the
greater digestibility of silage over dry
| fodder, and il was not that the silage
fed cows drew on their bodies for this
extra amount Of milk, for when they
were weighed, it was found they had
gained in weight.
In summing the whole thing up, it
was found that taking everything into
accountable cost and proceeds-that,
with milk at one cent pound, or about
two cents quart, an acre of this corn,
yielding 1925 tons of green forage
brought ten dollars more when sliced
than a like acre dry field cured

Hints on Winter Butter.

The days of winter butter making
are approaching, the time when 80
many housewives try to do well what
they have no adequate facilities for
performing. Is it any wonder there
are 30 many failures then, and so much
discredit cast on the domestic butter
crop2
To the butter maker must say, be-
fore you plunge into a repetition OF
last years course, wish could make
you see it as l see il, that it is folly to
expect good butter after subjecting the
milk and cream to the odors of kitchen
and pantry; to pay no attention to the
regulation of temperature either in the
atmosphere, the milk or the cream; to
hold cream till it is aged and bitter,
and TO pour warm water into the churn
unfortunately to make the butter
"come."
If you cannot improve your facilities
this year, add some amendments to
your butter-making principles. Even
the most illy-situated butter makers
can make the best of their circum-
stances.
An important point that should not
be lost sight of is that disease may be
readily propagated through milk and
butter, where the living apartments
and the dairy room communicate.
There are plenty of cases where scarlet
fever, diphtheria and similar diseases
have been transmitted in this way.
1t is too bad that we have the custom
so firmly established as it is of con-
vertipg the dining room, the kitchen
| ha NJ 10 n w n
time. Three essential points in butter
quality are jeopardized thereby, name.
ly, healthfulness, firmness of grain and
flavor.
1t is better to use patent creamery
and submerge the milk 10 accomplish
Dreaming, or even buy "baby sep
arator" and use it, than to subject it tc
influences that are destructive.
Milk and butter utensils need just as
careful attention in winter as in sum.
mer, although they are seldom accord
ed it.
If the proper conditions surround the
care of milk and cream in winter, they
are not materially different Gndoors,
from those obtaining in summer.
Therefore there exists the same dan
ger from putrefactive changes which
can only be obviated by scrupuloui
cleanliness.
Just now that bugbear of the dairy
cream that "comes" slowly or not al
all, is worrying domestic butter-mskers
1t can be said that this annual trouble
is due to no one thing. Either a sin
gle one or a multiplicity of causes may
be at the bottom of the difficulty. Ii
you doctor this obstinate cream by
iaising the temperature, don't do it by
pouring in hot water, but by outside
beat.
Ripen the cream if it needs matur
ing; remove some of it from the churr
if it has tendency to swell, and some
have even found it beneficial to add {
handful of salt.
To the advanced pregnancy of The
milch COWS has long been attributed
this annoyance, but cold weather, un
natural ferments and unripened cream
are also contributing, and may be sol'
causes. Always search for the espe
cial cause in your case.
1t may be that the cows need mor'
salt; that they are being furnished witt
some improper condition of feed, O.
that they have unsanitary surround

AGRICULTURAL.
The Question Of Fall Feed.

Vermont pastures are usutlly little
good after the first of September, and
in some way the flow of milk must be
kept up. Most farmers solve the ques-
ton by turning their cows into the
mowings and letting them run there
until--well it depends upon the intelli-
gence or conscience of the farmer. 1t
lie, we are sorry to say, not an uncom-
mon sight to see cows out on the bare
mowings until Thanksgiving, out un-
til the thermometer goes down TO zero
or below. 1t is needless to say that
this is LII wrong. 1t is an open ques-
tion whether the mowings ought to be
pastured at all in fall or spring. When
there is an abundance of feed in the
mowings, yet not enough to NOW, it
may be best to pasture them, if the
land is not injured by the tyeading of
the cattle on the land. This fall the
feed is generally very good. This feed
makes good butter, almost like June
butter. But just as good butter can be
made, all the fall and all the winter
with silage, good hay, and some kind
of grain feed.
So long as the corn is green, it makes
the very best fall feed, but when it
gets dry and hard the COWS do not do
so we'll on it. AS soon as the frosts
have put in their deadly work, the best
time for feeding corn outside of the
silo is passed. But there are crops that
will endure the frost. Barley is one of
the best of these. Instead of being
hut by the frost it is only made sweet
er and better. Peas, as everybody
knows, will stand great amount of
cold, and the combination of barley
and peas makes splendid feed after
the frost has come. Oats also do we'll
in the cool fall weather. We have the
three growing on one piece, and we
never saw better looking crop than
they make. By sowing the barley and
peas in July they will be ready to feed
about the time the frosts spoil the corn.
If enough are put in, the corn and the
barley and peas will last from the mid
die of August until the ground freezes
or the snow covers them up. This is
far better than pasturing the cows on
the mowings all this time. Of course
this plan makes mole work than the
keeping the COWS in the mowings, but
we believe the barley, the corn and the
peas are the best paying crops for fall
feed, although clover rowen will fill a
place in this programme. We believe
this subject is one of the greatest i'm
portance to dairy men, hence we often
bring it up.
