Coffee Rnd Sngar.

The coffee trust and the sugar trust are
at lOggerheads and while this condition
lasts consumers will be likely to buy
both coffee and sugar at low prices. Some
years ago the ArbuCkles, who control the
coffee interests, designed and patented
processes for handling and selling coffee
in bags, This proved so profitable that
they began to bag and sell sugar in the
same way, buying the manufactured SUI
gar from the sugar trust. When the
price Of raw sugar fell the Arbuckles de-
manded a reduction in the price Of manu-
faCtured sugar, which was refused by the
sugar trust. Then the Arubckles built a
sugar refinery Of their own and the sugar
trust retaliated by establishing a coffee
roasting plant Then both parties tried
to induce tariff legislation that would in
jure the other, but in these schemes they
both failed and the war between the SUI
gar trust and the coffee trust continues.
After a while they will tire of fighting
each other and will then form still
greater combination and trust that will
control both the coffee and sugar inter
ests OF this country, and consumers will
then pay higher prices.

BarrelIng Apples.

It requires some skill and a good deal
of care to barrel apples properly, and
proper barreling may make from one to
two dollars difference per barrel in the
price they will bring in the market. The
barrels should be standard size, holding
three bushels. 1t is best to use number
one barrels, as they are better made and
not so liable to burst open. They cost
a few cents more each than seconds, but
the bursting of few barrels in sending
shipment to market will more than
make up the difference in cost and apples
keep better in number one barrels than
in seconds. The barrels should be new,
sweet and clean. Never pack apples in
secondhand barrels. The apples should
be carefully hand picked into baskets
that are lined with cloth so as to prevent
any possibility Of bruising them. Throw
out all that are knOtty, Wormy, bruised
OF sun sCalded. If an apple is bruised or
the skin is punctured, no matter how
small the bruise or puncture, do not put
1t in the barrel, for it will be sure to de-
cay and cause the apples around it to
rot. Take out the bottom OF the barrel
and face what Is to be the head with two
layers, uniform in size, with the stem
ends placed toward the head, put in half
a bushel Of apples, carefully shake the
barrel until they are thoroughly settled,
then put in another half bushel and
shake again until well settled, and so
on until the barrel is nearly full. Then
face that end with two layers, the stem
ends placed outward and so that the
apples will be rounded up two or three
inches higher than the end of the bar
rel, put the bottom boards on top and
carefully and steadily draw them into
place with the header, being careful not
to mash or bruise any of the apples in
so doing. Drive down the hoops and Sc
CUrely fasten both head and bottom.
The kind OF apples, name of orchard or
grower, and whether first or second quail
ity, should be plainly marked on the
head of each BARREL Apples packed in
this way can be shipped a long distance
without becoming loose or shaky in the
barrels. If they are loose in the barrels
they are called slack" and never sell
so we'll as those which are tightly
packed.

shocking Corn.

1t has been matter Of some contro-
versy as to whether it Is profitable to
cut and shock corn. Where it can be cut
and bound into bundles with corn har-
Vester and them husked and shredded
with a shredding machine 1t is undoubt-
edly a profitable way to utilize the fod-
der IL allowed to stand until husked
from the field there will be larger yield
In weight Of corn than there is if the
stalks are cut when the leaves are still
green, the difference being from 10 to
IA per cent When the corn is husked by
hand 1t costs about cent a bushel more
to husk from the shock than to husk
from the dry stalks in the field, because
II 1t is allowed to stand on the stalk un-
til dry enough to put in the crib the
husks have lOoSened from the ears which
makes 1t much easier to gather. When
cut for fodder 1t should be done soon af
ter the kernels are well glazed and lust
before the leaves turn yellow. II will
then furnish the greatest combined
amount Of both fodder and grain. If
cut later 1t will yield little more grain
out the fodder will not be so good. When
cut 1t should be tied with binding twine

Good Horses.

A few years ago the country was
flooded with high-priced stations, but
now there seems to be shortage of good
stations and but little horse breeding
is being done. AS a result of this the
price of good horses Is gradually going
higher and probably will continue to go
higher for some time to come Two or
three years ago good, fair horses could
be bought in Kansas for S25 to $50 each,
but now they will bring from $50 to
$50 each Good brood mares are not
plentiful and colts are scarce, and 1t will
take some years before there will again
be surplus of good horses. Farmers
who have brood mares should keep them
raising colts from the best stations that
are accessible, for horses are likely to
bring higher prices in the future than
at the present time.

Net Eggs for Hens.

Most hens have a fixed and stubborn
habit of requiring a nest egg to be left
in the nest or they will abandon the
nest and seek some new and secluded
place to deposit their eggs. Hence 1t is
best to humOr them in this habit, but
newly laid eggs should not be left for
nest eggs, as the shells are tender and
liable to be broken and thus teach the
hens the bad habit of eating the eggs.
China nest eggs are good substitutes,
not readily broken and seem to suit
the notions Of the hens equally as we'll
as their own eggs. Freezing in cold
weather will not break them and In the
hot weather of summer fresh eggs should
not be left in the nests but should be
gathered every day and kept In some
cool, dry place.
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-28
Hogs In Orchards.

There is some discussion in agricul-
tural papers over the question of pastur-
ing hogs in orchards. Our advice Is
simply this-dOn't do it. Any kind of
pasturing will dry out the surface Of the
ground and make 1t hard. Fruit trees,
and especially apples, require that the
surface of the soil be kept moist and mel
low. This cannot be done where the
ground is pastured with hogs or any
other kind Of stock. A few apples may
be good for the hogs, while that is even
doubtful, for hogs fed on apples will take
the cholera quicker than others, and If it
is thought best to feed the windfalls to
the hogs the apples should be gathered
and fed to the hogs in the hog yard and
the hogs not allowed to run in the or
chard at all. Pasturing an orchard will
hasten its decay and the apples will
eventually be smaller than in an orchard
where no stock is allowed to run.

In the Gardening Line.

There are some things worth know.
ing in the gardening line. There are
many vegetables, such as cabbage, Cauli-
flower, celery, endive, etc., that are
best when they reach maturity late in
the season. Those grown very early Of
the types named are far from being the
equals in quality with those grown
later. We rate the early grown celery
that is now in the markets as unfit for
the table, except when used as an in
gredient in soups and stews Cauli-
flower at this time of the year is insipid
compared with the delicious quality
which prevails from Oct. l. The differ
ence is very great We may grow vege-
tables out Of their natural season, but
we cannot give them the quality that
nature does in her own time.

Handling Mich Cows.

Cows that are giving milk should be
handled carefully and treated kindly and
gently. Rough usage, chasing with q
dog or exciting them in any way will
lessen the amount of milk they will give.
Mich cows should be kept for the profit
there is in keeping them, and this profit
depends upon the quantity and quality
of the milk they yield. Anything that
lessons the amount Of milk will cut down
the profits. In order to get the greatest
amount Of dollars and cents from them
they should at all times have plenty Of
good. nutritious food and pure water
and be handled with gentleness, kindness
and care.

Cut Worms.

Every farmer and gardener has more
or less trouble with cut worms. They
nip off the cabbage plants and cut down
the cucumber squash and melon plants
and sometimes destroy fields Of corn
They are especially troublesome on old
sod ground Flowing in the fall and let
ting the ground lie exposed to winter
weather has tendency to prevent their
ravages. The best way to poison them
is to make bran mash, sweeten It with
a littlesugar and thoroughly mix through
1t a little Paris green or arsenic and
scatter this around the plants early in
the evening two or three times for a
week. The cut worms will eat this In
preference to the plants and the arsenic
will kill them. 1t can be repeated as Of
ten as any appearance Of the cut-wOrms
continues.

New Breed of Cattle.

Kansas enterprise is developing many
new and valuable things along agriCul-
tural lines. One of the most important
is q new breed Of hOrnless Hereford cat
tie developed by Hon. w. WI Guthrie,
OF Atchlson county. He calls It the
Kansas" breed, which he started about
ten years ago with one hOrnless calf. a
cross from Hereford bull and q Short
horn cow. He has continued this cross
Ing back and forth with Herefords and
Short-horns until now he has thirty or
forty head Of this hornless breed, which
he claims has the square, full build IL the
Short-hOrns, while they retain the dis
tinctiVe markings OF the Herefords. and
the cows are uniformly good mixers
He has bred Ave generations, always re-
1ecting those that developed horns. un-
I'll he has now hornless breed which he
believes embOdies the best characteris-
tics OF the all purpose animal for both
beef and milk. In this his faith is suffl-
cient to induce him to place them on ex-

The Hay Crop.

Taking the country over the hay crop
seems to be large and the prices cor
respondingly low. The low prices may
be attributed to several causes, the chief
of which are the large crop and lesssened
demand Electricity and bicycles have
greatly lessened the use of horses in
cities and cut off the demand for hay.
In the country farmers are shreddlng
more corn stalks and raising more sor-
ghum for fodder, and this lessons the
demand for hay. Where six or twelve
tons Of sorghum fodder can be raised ON
an acre and not more than two tons Of
hay will grow on the same amount Of
land the farmers find 1t more profitable
to grow sorghum for their own use and
sell their hay for the cash 1t will bring
