New York, March 10.-The general
demand for cotton goods has again been
quieter than of late. There are numerous
orders coming forward, but they are
chiefly of piecing out character, and
there is a noticeable falling off in the
number of bids for large quantities. This
has not affected the general tone of the
market which continues good. In
brown, bleached and coarse colored cot
tons sellers adhered firmly to previous
prices and in cotton dress fabrics talk
of still higher prices. No change in
mems wooden fabrics nor in dress goods
Linens are tending upwards. Burlaps

a humane way for the relief of choking
cattle, and he thus describes it: when
the animal becomes chOked find the
obstruction by feeling along the throat
with one hand. and in nine cases out
of ten it is found in the gullet. With
the thumb aud fingers the obstacle can
be forced out the way it went in, and
generally the animal IS ready to assist
in the removal A few years ago l had
a heifer that was choked with apples
every few days, and in every instance
1 removed them in this way without
difficulty or danger of injuring the ami

dangering the life of the animal, and
should be taken out the way it went

The farmer who buys bran and lin
seed meal never makes a mistake, as
those substances will enrich his ma
nure heap, as well as add to the thrift
of his stock.
When meal IS fed to hogs, either as
slOp or dry. it is impossible to prevent
waste; if meal is worked out Of the
trough or the slop spilled. it is hardly
possible to gather It again If whole
corn is fed the last grain is devoured.
The food properties Of corn are not
changed by grinding it; it is stlll corn.
whether served as meal. mush or slop.
When feeding hogs, grind only for the
aged sows which have lost their teeth,
and it is doubtful if they will pay the
miller.
Each field Of the farm Is fitted for
some special use. Have due considera-
ton Of the soil, the past rotation and
fertilization and needs of the proposed
crop. There should be no haphazard
way. but some forethought, in adapting
the crops to the land.
Low heads for trees are preferred by
some. as they lessen the work of har-
vesting the crop and enable the grower
to combat insects with advantage. but
closer cultivation can be given when
the trees are tall and the lower
branches trimmed off.
There is a positive scarcity of all
kinds of good stock, especially of the
high grades, for the best and most pro-
htable feeding. for the best home mar
ket and export trade. Thus overpro-
duction of grain or live stock corrects
itself by being Improbable.
1t is best to keep wethers growing in
stead Of fattening them. unless they are
intended for market soon. An allow
ance of three pounds of clover hay a
day for a sheep weighing 100 pounds,
using no grain, should be sufficient. but
to fatten rapidly give two pounds Of
hay and a pound Of corumeal daily.
1t requires about twenty pounds OF
milk TO make a pound of butter, and
fourteen pounds of milk to make a
pound of cheese. More labor and care
are necessary to make cheese, however,
but good cheese brings a high price.

Feeding Vol Horses.

Whenever a working team has an I'M
usually hard job it is the habit Of some
farmers to feed it extra. thus giving its
stomach an additional labor and thus
lessening available present strength. 1t
ought always to be remembered that 1t
is the food eaten the day before. and
for days and weeks before that, which
is available for present strength. No
animal ought to be expected to work on
an empty stomach. But a light feed
before an extra hard job is better than
loading the stomach with more than It
