Saturday from Argentine, London and
Paris, the prospects are that there will
be good exportable surplus in that
country. A direct cable from Rosario

situation estimated the exportable sur.
plus at $4,000. 900 bushels, or about
two months supplies for the leading

number OF characters have been made
in London to load wheat in Argentine
and freights have advanced sharply.
Arrangements have been made to ship
81, 500, 900 in gold from London to Ar,
gentine; also $250,000 from France.
The Argentine wheat will be available
in the latter part of March, as it takes
about six weeks for freight steamers to
make the trip. Argentine offerings IN
European markets had depressing

Economy In Hog killing.

For those who have but one or two
or even three hogs to kill, It is far
cheaper TO take these where larger
number are to be slaughtered. and
where there are all conveniences, than
to kill the hogs at home. Heating the
water and getting ready generally take
q good deal of time. When this IS done
the work of killing and dressing re-
quires comparatively little time. 1t is
far better for farmers to cooperate in
this work. Every farmer who has only
a few hogs to kill can have this job
done for him much cheaper as well as
more easily than he can do 1t for him
self.

suggestion to- Buyers.

The obligations of the advertiser of
live stock to his prospective patrons
are well understood. He must be hon
est in describing his stock, prompt and
courteous In his correspondence, and
faithful in carrying out his part of a
contract with distant customer. The
breeder who neglects such things as
these cannot meet with success, no
matter what advantages he may seem
to have in other respects. But the
other party to this business, the in
quirer or prospective buyer, is also un-
der obligations. He should know what
he wants, carefully describe 1t, and
having secured price on it from the
breeder promptly accept or reject it..
Where catalogues are sent and prices
do not suit no further correspondence,
of course, Is necessary. But when a
breeder quotes price by letter he
should have prompt answer, and 1t
should be just as prompt II the offer is
rejected as 1t would have been If ac-
cepted. -Stockman and Farmer.

Corn cobs for kidding.

Corn cobs are often used for kindling
fires. But while they light easily, the
cob being solid does not create a
draught of air and the fire soon goes
out. Finely split kindling is much bet
ter, as 1t gives more heat, and thus sets
fire to the heavier wood. But if dipped
in kerosene and placed under the wood,
the cob will furnish heat enough to
light dry wood in large pieces without
using any other kindling. 1t is the only
way in which Kerosene oil can be used
with safety in lighting fires.

shrunlken wheat for Poultry.

There is probably no better nor
cheaper food for fowls than shrunken
wheat. 1t is better for them than the
plump grain. as 1t contains all the
gluten and mineral nutriment that the
plump grain does, the difference being
that the latter has more starch which
poultry has no use for except to make
fat. Shrunken wheat free from weed
seeds ought to be the main feed for
laying hens. 1t makes condensed nu-
triment almost equal to the fresh bone
which should be used as its supple
ment, and which serves not only as
food, but to help digest whatever else
besides itself is in the fowls gizzard.

much better than a solid wall of any
