Edward w. Box writes of Dogs and
Feminine Affection" in the Ladies'
Home Journal, and points out the
dangers of caressing a dog however
well cared for it may be. THE most
eminent physicians" he asserts, "have
conclusively shown that the practice
of allowing the body of dog to came
into close contact with the human body
is fraught with the greatest physical
evils. The cleanest dog in the world
is not without this objection. 1t cannot
be. A dogs nose should never be al
lowed to touch any part of the human
skin. The most casual observance of
dogs habits will show the reasons for
this. In fact, from whatever stand
point one chooses to look at the mat
ter--from that of cleanliness, health or
bodily danger-the practice Of pettiny
dogs with close embraces of any sort Is
positive wrong. Women cannot lie
too careful about this, either as the
practice affects them or, if they are
fond of our dogs-many of them de-
serve human affection-but we should
bestOw this fondness with little care
full regard for common sense. One
point, of all others, cannot be too care
fully regarded; the face should never
be brought into close contact with
dog. A sense of cleanliness alone
should forbid this, even if positive
danger did not lurk in the practice"

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.,
Downing, Hopkins Il Co.'s Review Of
Trade,

The wheat market has every indica-
ton of an upward tendency. 1t hard.
ened steadily last week in the face of
loal bank failures, and was only affect
ed by them temporarily. A good per-
centage of the local traders were afraid
to 60 into the market, owing to the I'M
settled condition of finances at Chicago
last week. Local influences, however,
are only Of a transient character, the
market being governed more by foreign
advlces, and also by the great strength
of the domestic situation, which over
shadows almost everything in the way
Of local bearish factors. Had the mar.
ket been a local one prices would have
gone lower, but the timely buying of
foreigners offset the bearish influences,
and made sentiment bullish, over.rid-
ing everything bearish. English
traders who were sharp enough to fore.
see their wants early in the fall, and
took advantage of it by buying them
from three to four months in advance,
almost before the American spectators
were aware of it, have come in the mar
ket within week and taken millions
of bushels of both cash and futures for
shipment during the next four months
while local traders were as a rule afraid
to take the buying side. 1t is claimed
by operators in position to know that
there is larger short interest than at
any time within sixty days. The
Northwest is short against its cash
holdings there. Foreigners have alb
sorbed the surplus wheat that is afloat
III the pit. 1t is difficult to buy any
large lines without sending prices up
rapidly, if any of the recognized lead
ers are credited with being at the
back of the orders. This leaves the
market in stronger position than ever,
and those who watch the pit operations
closely are confident that prices will
advance to SOC within the near future.
The visible stocks are 1000, 900 BUSH
els less than last year. Foreigners are
expected to lead the buying again next
week

Irnner Colts to Raise.

The farmer who attempts to breed
speed alone stands no more chance to
make financial strike than boy in a
the same time, he should not lose sight
of the fact that he who buys for road
purposes calls for not only good-sized
horse, but one eyen-Saited, and quite
speedy. l believe there is more money
in raising the right kind of colts, and
preparing them for the market than any
other kind of stock on the farm. The
first thing to be considered by the farm
err is what strain and what cross will
come nearest to filling the bill of public
demand. Like produces like" is an
old adage, and quite unconditional

Gerfuirat;u0 Nuts.

The success of terminating nuts in
the spring depends upon the condition
of rpeness and the method of keeping
them during the winter. Nuts should
not be allowed to become too dry before
burying in sand. When gathered too
early the kernels shrivel up and have
but little terminating power, hence
they should not be gathered until the
kernel is full and plump. If there is
any danger Of mice getting into the
boxes where they are buried during the
winter, wire netting should be nailed
over them.-EXchange

butcher would like to buy beef or a
number of them from the farm ,rs in
his neighborhood, but he is resh aimed
by fear. He cannot get enough to sup
ply himself through the year. Indeed,
the farmer generally only cares to mar
ket his fattened stock in cold weather.
SO the Western shipper EFFORTS from
his customers an ironclad agreement
to buy meat only as sent by him. Yet
we think if farmers would buy or raise
young stock and fattcn it. they could
make market selling beef or mutton
by the quarter, or dividing it still
farther for the accommodation of their
customers. No law to restrain this
right can be valid. as has been repeated

Wherever there Is a heavy growth of
coarse grass left on the land in fall it is
much better to pillow it in the fall if it is
intended to use it for cultivated crops
next year. Most of this coarse grass,
that has small nutrition. has very vigor-
Gus roots and needs to be turned under
as long as possible before the crop is
planted. The mulch of coarse grass on
the surface will prevent the sod from
freezing as deeply as it ought. In fact,
when the ground is mostly covered with
snow in winter the heavy mulched sod
may scarcely be frozen at all. But
when turned over in the fall and the
furrow Is left rough as possible, it is
sure to be frozen again and again. leav-
ing the surface soil in very fine filth. If
the sod be June grass or quack many
of the roots will be killed by freezing
dry in the upturned furrow on or near
the surface. Though there is some
waste of fertility by washing and plow-
Ing of fall-plowed land. it is none the
less good practice where hoed crops
that need an early mellow seed bed are
to be sown or planted the following
spring.

Rules for Milking.

Turf, Farm and Home gives the fol-
lowing rules for milking:
First-Work rapidly; slownesseauses
loss of cream.
Second-Milk thoroughly to the last
drop, because the last milk is the best.
Thrd-Milk at the same time every
day.
Fourth-Milk crosswise, that is to
say. one fore teat on the right and a
hind tcat. on the left, and vice versa;
the milk thus flows more copiously
than by parallel milking.
Fifth-Alilk with four fingers and not
with index and thumb, fault too COM
mon with mixers.
SiXth-Do not employ any kind of
milking machines.
Seventh-TO milk young, FESTIVE
cows, raise one Of the fore feet.
Eighth-Always keep the hands clean
and also the cows udder, and all dairy
utensils
Ninth-During milking avoid dis
tracing or disturbing the COW.

Making Poultry Pay.

Just why some cannot make the poul-
try yard paying institution is quite
plain. Like everything else. it all lies
with the man and how he goes about
it. One fellow goes at it. He has read
considerable about it. He builds large
and completely fitted up houses in the
most practical way, buys high-priced
thoroughbred fowls and starts in to
make it go. 1t takes such Il man about
one season to learn that he knows little
and needs experience. This Is bought
from small beginning and with sew
eral years actual work with them.
Branching out largely at first is sell
dom done by a prudent or practical per-
son. Anybody can feed and perhaps
rear a brood of chicks. To keep few
hens for private use where they live
upon the refuse of your table is one
kind of chicken business, but when you
are in it for your bread and butter,
with hundreds, and perhaps thousands,
under your care, 1t is quite another mat
ter 1t can and is paying live workers,
but never drones. Don't go at it unless
you have patience, tact and lots of am
bition. These are very essential points
of value to any man who hopes to sue
coed.
Weed out the hocks, disposing of real
ly old stock and the undesirable young.
A few good hens, well cared for, will
raise more chickens next summer than
if a great flock is crowded together in
unhealthy coops.

During the past twenty years the

vinegar kegs are always holding out
like the widows cruise Of oil. How is
it done? We buy some sweet cider
from a nelghbor and add it gradually
to the twenty gallon kegs that have
had pure vinegar in them so long that
they have had several sets of iron
hoops. AS they have stood on the eel
lar bottom, full or partly full of strong
vinegar for twenty years, we conclude
that vinegar preserves wood, as the

Grand Rapids, Jan. 1.-Two pc.

Farmers Should Grow Best Seed.


No garden or field seed is more easily
grown than the beet. Select smooth
specimens of moderate size out of the
heap and plant them in early spring
All the work they need is to run the cul-
tivator between the rows, which should
be wide enough for that purpose. If
this is done two or three times, the
spreading branches will cover the
spaces between the rows and will keep
down most of the weeds. The seed is
gathered by cutting off these branches
and spreading on cloths or hung up in
sheds either having tight floor or hay
ing cloths spread under the hanging
branches to catch the seed as it falls.
When beet seed Is ripe it shells very
easily. The seed Is easily grown and
therefore cheap, but every farmer can
easily raise what he wants for his own
use

the crop, while the townspeople are
prosperous and happy with money cir
culating freely. Land there Is renting

Uses OF the Alder Rueh,

The common sweet alder bush, or
elderberry bush. as 1t is often called, is
regarded by neat farmers as nuisance,
to be destroyed as quickly as possible.
Yet it has many uses, and some farm
ers' wives especially, have learned to
turn 1t to profit. Its fruit when dried
makes very fair pies if some acid is
mixed with it. We have known it to be
used with grapes, the latter being extra
sour and without something to temper
them requiring too much sugar The
juice of elderberries with sugar makes
the standard heavy wine which old
fashioned people used always to keep in
the house to use when sickness made it
necessary. Finally the blossoms are an
excellent febrifuge, and some should al
ways be put up to use when fever from
unknown causes attacks any of the
family.

stubby sprouts, covered with tiny
green leaves, were two inches long.
The weather was dry and hot, the earth
dry as ashes, and nothing was seen of
them till light shower brought them
up July 81. From this their growth
was rapid, and there was larger
