Current Comment.

HAY AND STRAw.-There is a steady call
and firm feeling in choice and fancy hay
but very little doing in anything else
BEANS There is less and less confidence
in the market and hence prices suffer con-
tinually. Demand is very unsatisfactory.
CHEEsE.-There is very little doing in
new cheese and the tendency of prices is
distinctly downwards. Old cheese is worth
8 to cents.
PoTAToKs.-Old potatoes are working
steadily lower and there is also rather
easier outlook in new. Cabbage are higher
but tomatoes are lower.
EGGs.-Prices are fairly steady and JUS
about as last reported. The stock in coli
storage last Saturday was 134,81 cssel
against Ill 1858 cases same time last year.
BuTTER,-The jobbing trade is quiet an
the buying at present Is principally for col
storage. An advance Of about cent is d.
manded on strictly fine fresh creamer
which is due apparently to the higher prices
being paid by some Of the buyers in the
country. The local trade looks askance
upon the advance, and it is generally be-
lieved that it will hardly be maintained in
view OF the light trade and the prospects for
a large "make."
| WoOL.-Trading for the week has been
limited. A few good sized sales have help
ed to swell the total and there has been here
| and there offers for stock and the placing
out of sample bales, but the market as a
whole has in actual business been very
quiet. There has been demand shown for
fine wool, running somewhat to staple, OF
both foreign and domestic growth, but sal es
of the latter have shown great falling off
in volume. Manufacturers are keenly
watching the market TO catch any upward
drift, but they are uncertain of stock need
ed for the coming seasons manufacture and
are consequently chary Of purchasing.
LUMBER.-The market has not changed
much during the week. There is the same
general disappointment to be met with
everywhere in the market. 1t is quite gen.
orally felt that June is to be a very dull
month marked by low range OF values. II
is hardly thought however, that they will
be lower than they are at present. Values
now are SO low that quite number OF the
mills have seen fit to shut down in prefer
ence to running on any such basis. Thai
the number of mills that are shut down il
large is evidenced by the small receipts by
cargo in Boston and other ports, exceeding
ly so in fact, for this time of the year
Though the receipts be light they are plenty
large for this time of the year. The yard.
are not doing enough to warrant their pur
chasing any considerable quantity and
what is more they are very conservative in
their huYing.

Live Stock Market.

SwNE.-Western steady at II to 4lc L.

S4.75 to 500; second quality, 81 to 30;

BEEB CATTLE.-There was some fault
found with the quality of cattle, and ship
pers in consequence bought but slowly.
Prices were about the same.
VEAL CALvEs.-Market values &c higher
than last week. This advance may last,
but all will depend upon arrivals. There is
a fair feeling in the calf trade.
SHEEP AND LAMBs.-.The holiday demand
for spring lambs was disappointing. Trade
was largely confined to Western sheep.

1925 TO 5; or from % to &c per lb lambs, Al

Feeding Buttermilk.

Buttermilk, if handled properly, is
one of the very best feeds for swine.
The mild Tactic acid at churning time,
or shortly after, probably improves
buttermilk as feed for pigs, for only
a little of the sugar is broken up to
form the acid. The Tactic acid in the
milk renders it palatable and seems to
have favorable action on the diges-
tive tract. Since buttermilk is rich in
protein, corn is complimentary food
and probably the most economical sub
stance to feed with it. Shorts or mid
dlinps are likewise satisfactory, but
hardly as economical. Since these two
are rich in protein, the feeder is sup
plying rather too much of that costly
element for the most economical re-
turns. Bran is a bulky, chatf-like food
that is not satisfactory for young pigs,
but which may be used with older ami
mails, especially where the feed is not
heavy and it is desirable to give volume
to the feed. In some cases buttermilk
is held in filthy vessels at the cream.
cries and in those still worse at the
farm. When this product undergoes
putrefactive fermentation it should not
be used even for pig feeding.-Prof.

er, inclining him to crook his neck, or
60 sidewise, or drive more on one rein
than the other. We prefer and recon-
mend strong, two-wheeled cart to be-
gin driving the colt with, but if colt is
thoroughly enough fitted for driving
before hitching in, a four-wheeled We
hicle will do very well. In fitting to
hitch up and drive we use several COM
mon farm implements, such as a spread
chain and evener, an old basket, a bag
of hay or straw, an umbrella, COM
mon sweeping broom, a strong smooth
pole, little larger than a wagon thill,
ETC., and after all these implements, a
good whip, which We consider neces-
sary implement in it's proper place and
use. We recommend good one worth
at least one dollar, and contend that
one such whip ought to last to educate
twenty-five good, intelligent colts to
it's proper use, and still be good whip.
We offer our methods to the readers
OF the WATCHMAN for their use or Gu
riosity, expecting to be considered
radical" in many of our assertions,
but do not urge any to use them if
they see objections to 30 doing. We
do urge, however, that if any of our
readers try any of the things suggested
that they be very thorough, and first
try them just as directed; then i'm
prove them all they can. We will not
be responsible for the results others
get from trying our way, but will guar
antee that il they attempt to do these
things in a rough, hurrying, slightly
manner, they will get bad results, and
detest Davis and his way of educating
colts.
In our next we will speak of brid.
ling and biting the colt, etc.

A Good Beginning,

Mrs. G. DeNottbeck of Dorset, VT,
has recently purchased from Hood
Farm, Lowell, Mass, several fine Jer.
seys which will be the foundation for
herd that should reflect credit upon
her good judgment in making her Sc
lection. The cows include Minty Sec
ond of Hood Farm, test, Is pounds, 81
ounces, a daughter of Minty Pamela,
test, II pounds, 81 ounces; Oxford Ca
lana, Is pounds, II ounces; Though
full, daughter of Pansy's Thoughts,
II pounds, 6 ounces, and daughter of
Pedro Signal Landseer, son of the
great Young Pedro, the sire of that re-
markable COW, Eurotisama, test, 945
pounds, 9 ounces of butter in year,
and at one time holder of the silver
challenge cup now held by Signals
Lily Flagg, owned at Hood Farm. 1t
will be seen that the COWS purchased
by Mrs. DeNottbeck promise great
things in the butter line.

THERE Is more catarrh is this section
of the country than all other diseases

years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
uounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

A CHINESE WEDDING.


Everything Connected with tho Cere-
monies rs DeukSd In Red.
The Chinese place a significance up
on every color, and in connection with
q wedding red obtains deep-rooted,
mysterious Importance, the next bridal
color in value being gold. At a be-
trothal the bridegroom- sends his
sweetheart pair of bracelets fastened
together with piece Of red ribbon or
cord. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine cups at the wedding, which
are also connected by red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear q
tall felt hat, and each hat has red
feather stuck upright in it The at
tendants also carry the wedding pres
ents. A sedan chair bears the bride
herself. In south China sedan most
wonderfully gilded is used by the
wealthy classes, and it is decorated
with what appears at first sight to be
brilliant inlaid stones, but which are
in reality the glossy feathers of the
king-fsher. A handsome cloth of
glowing red with trimmed border is
also thrown over the chair. In the case
of the poorer classes red is also the
prevailing bridal color, and chair of
ordinary carved wood, painted bright
red, is used. Above the door of the
chair a kind of charm is placarded
or hung upon red cloth. The chair
itself is sent by the bridegroom, ac-
companied by what corresponds to our
best man. This functionary brings
with him letter written in yellow or
gold upon red paper, praying the lady
to enter and take her place. Men
dressed all in red, and carrying red
parcels containing the presents, fall
Into the procession. Other bearers
carry boards and banners, inscribed in
golden letters upon red ground.
These banners tell the pedigree of both
parties. Behind the bearers come the
other attendants, with long poles on
Mich are hung very handsome Lam
terms. The brides veil is of bright
crimson hue, and her dress regal gold

Full OF Shot,
Speaking of the boy who used his
sisters toothbrush to paint his double
ripper sled and forgot to wash out the
paint before he returned it to her
room" observed the m,jor, reminds
me that you never can tell what a
boy will do. There was old Squire
Leather's boy Hezekiah-the squire
thought he couldn't depend upon him,
but he found he could. Squire Leath-
ers had a fine watermelon patch, of
which he was very proud. But he
annually lost good many melons
through the raids Of tramps and other
predatory persons. At lost he got mad
and vowed he would protect his own
interests. So he loaded up the shot
gun pretty nearly to the muzzle with
bird-shot, and gave 1t to Hezekiah, and
sent him out to stand guard one night.
The boy made some objection to going
and the squire got it into his head he
was afraid. He rebuked him roundly
told him that he was unworthy to bear
| the proud name of feathers, and
| pushed him into the night. Then the
