MARKETING WHEAT.
Iowa Alliance Advises Western Farm
ers to Hold Their Crops for an
Advance in Price.

The Farmers alliance of Wapello
county, Ia, has issued the following ad-
vice to farmers of the state as to hold
ing wheat for higher prices: Within a
short time steady advance up to the
75-cent mark at northwestern shipping
points is certain as death; and the farm
ers have the game in their own hands
if they play with little caution. The
reason upon which we base our faith in
the better price for wheat is that when
the crop of 1898 was harvested the
worlds supply from former years was
practically exhausted, and the bread
eating world is now drawing it's sup
plies from the crop of the present year.
In other years, and for many years, the
old stocks amounted to hundreds of
millions of bushels when the crop of
any given year was harvested, and in
reckoning On the worlds supply the
gamblers counted the old wheat as we'll
as the new. This year there is no old
wheat on which they can reckon. The
low price of wheat during ten years
preceding 1897 was due not to surplus
in any given year, but to the accumula-
tons of preceding years. The chief
cause has now temporarily disappeared.
Again, the acute distress which for
three or four years afflicted many farm
ers in the northwest is no longer in
sight. Farmers generally are in better
shape to protect themselves against the
vulgar wiles of bulls and bears; and
those animals are perfectly aware of
the situation.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Keep no stale stock on your pastures
but let them be less in quantity and o.
better quality, and will see better re-
suits.
To begin to fatten lean hogs with rich
food from the start is q wasting. Full
rations of corn or peas ought to be left
for the finishing of the process.
If at the end of six or seven weeks the
piggies are growing nicely and lool

breeding is to obtain a large quantity
of meat, of good quality, in as short
space of time as possible. A cheap and

Fresh Water for Fowls.

If food is not furnished the hen in her
own domain. she will go hunting and
soon find enough to keep her busy. but
she is not so successful in getting water
to drink. The farmer or his wife will
usually provide some feed, but "biddy"
many times takes her chances to find
water. Yet chemists state that "a per
cent: OF the egg is water. In view of this
fowls to lay well must be furnished
with an abundance of fresh water.
Drinking vessels should be thoroughly
cleansed every day and if possible so
made that the hens cannot stand in
them. In winter these drinking vessels
should be emptied at night TO prevent
freezing. 1t is advisable to give gowls
a warm drink in the morning when they
first come from the roosts, as at this
time they usually drink freely. If you
will practice this the hens will come for
water as quickly as for feed. Rural

CATTLE FOR FEEDING.
Bureau of Animal Industry Explains
How to Select the Most Prom
~ Using Animals.

Practical and experienced feeders,
who breed and purchase steers for fat
tening, observe striking differences in
the aptitude of animals of varying types
and makeup to lay on flesh readily and
i'll such form and quality as to COM
nand the highest price on the market.
1t requires well-trained eye to detect
in all cases the possible variation of re-
suits in the store or stock steer; but
there are some distinctions that are
easily detected. There are certain types
of cattle, for instance, that never feed
profitably under any conditions, and
it is quite as important to discriminate
against these in the feed lot as to be
able to recognize the excellence in other
types.
The characteristics that make tho
profitable feeder are naturally more
difficult to detect in animals in stock
condition than when fattencd, but not
withstanding this there are number
Of indications that are fairly reliable.
Though the young steer may be COM
paratively thin in flesh and temporarily
lacking the thick, even covering of the
back and ribs so essential in the finished
carcass, he must nevertheless present
that blocky frame and stoutness of
build, accompanied by short, straight
legs, wide back and loin, well-sprung
ribs, fullness back of shoulders and in
TANKS, prominent brisket, full neck
vein, wide chest, and well-rounded bar
rel, together with good soft, mellow
handling skin and fine, silky hair, CIV
ing what is termed the thick. messy
coat, without coarseness, and with it
all good, strong, vigorous head, clear,
full eye and quiet temperament. The
Importance of an even covering of flesh
and good handling quality can hardly
be overestimnted. The bone should be
moderately fine and clean. Coarseness
either in the bone or about the head
and horns is particularly Objectionable,
as it indicates coarseness of texture
throughout and greater percentage of
offal and cheap meat, as well as ten
dency to sluggish circulation. The head
should present certain refinement,
finish, and vigor that in a measure in.
dictate general quality and superior ex-
cellence of finished product, though this
refinement must not be accompanied
by delicacy.-Prof. C. F. Curtiss, in
Fourteenth Annual Report of Bureau
of Animal Industry.

Neglect Means Great Loss.

A thoughtful farmer soon learns that
there is no money in neglect or in suf-
fering. If cow goes hungry OF gets a
drubbing from the cross hired man, she
records her woes in the milk pail. If
the horse has sore teeth or nail in his
foot or is fed poor hay, his endurance,
condition and constitution show the eff
fects. Even sitting hen if badly
treated and illfed while breaking will
show her feelings by her slowness in
getting back into laying condition.
There is money value in comfort
which becomes more and more appar-
ent as we study into it. Nine out of ten
farm animals will do the best they
know how; they will work like ma
chimes for the skilled operator who
keeps the bearings oiled with comfort.

The Hens Need Variety.

Instead of feeding wheat every day
the grain may be varied by simply al
lowing one kind of grain each day.
Oats may be given the first day, corn
the next and wheat the next. The cost
OF food will be about the same as if but
one kind is given. but the fowls will
enjoy the changes of grain and keep in
better health. If meat, milk and bulky
food are also added to the 'rarion the
hens should lay, provided they have
warm quarters and are not overfed. Va
riety should always be the rule, for
even the grains differ in their compo-
sition.-Dakota Field and Farm.

THERE WAS NO GAME.
The Cowboy Had Several Points to

| NOpyrlRnt, 1885,
Things were getting little slow in
the smoking car, and when one of the
four passengers proposed game of
eucher the other three readily agreed
to take hand in. One of them was a
cowboyish-looking chap, about 30
years old, and as he seated himself to
begin the game, he inquired:
"Gentlemen, shall we have fair un-
Outstanding before we begin business?''
why, we are to play railroad euchre,
aren't we?" replied one of the others.
II expect so, but thought it would
be just as we'll to know beforehand
how many aces thar is to be in the
pack. I've played without any, and
I've played with six. Shall we say four
aces and keep it at that?"
The other three thought four aces
would be about enough, and that be-
ing settled, the cowboy continues:
"Now, as to disputes. If we call
each other liars is it to stop thar or
shall shootin' foller? I've played whar'

1t was very speedily decided that
there was to be no shooting, and the
cowboy bowed to the majority, and
said:
'I've played whar' the joker took the
right bower, and I've played whar a
ten-spot took the joker. In the latter
case thar was three men killed. Seems
as if we ought to have a plain under
standin' before we begin"
The trio decided that the Joker
