last year and in many parts Of the
state it will be smaller by Is to 70 per
cen& Corn IS a little late but in ex-
ceIlent condition in most sections. Po-
uato reports are also good for the most
part though drought has shortened the
crop, especially of early varieties in
some counties Moisture is now abund-
ant and late varieties are likely to
improve.
MINNESOTA.
Moisture is still deficient in a few
counties in Minnesota but in the ma
jority there is a sufficient amount for
the present needs of growing crops
and more would interfere with the
harvesting of grain. One-third OF the
reports indicate that the condition of
spring wheat is good though the yield
will fall considerably below that OF
nounce condition fair to poor III Far
ibault, Freeborn, Watonwan. Wa
basha and Rock counties the yield
will be about the same last year
In Houston, Wabasha, Chippewa ana
Pope counties it will be about 20 per
cent less than last year; in Goodhue,
Brown. Kandiyohi, Clay, Nieollet and
Steele, the crop Will be about two
thirds that of last year; in Dakota, LIE
Sueur, Rice. Kanabec, Olmstead. Ram
sey, Becker, Wright, Winona, and
Benton counties It will be about so per
cent of last years; in Morrison, Wa
dena, Wilkin, Marshall, and Sibley
counties the crop will be about one
third that of last year. These reports
indicate a yield for the state of some
thing more than so per cent of the
erage.
The condition of oats in most local
tiles is poor and the promised yields
range from one-third to two-thirds of
the average crop
With few exceptions the condition
of corn is fair to good
The condition of potatoes is only
fair.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
The quality of South Dakota wheat
appears to be fair to good and in some
localities the crop will nearly equal
that of last year, but in many other To-
calities it will be so per cent below the
average The condition of oats is fair
to poor and yields light. The condi-
ton of potatoes is fair to good with
prospects of a fair crop. Corn is n
little late but in fair to good condi-
ton.

limited amount, because while corn is
in the milk and is excellent feed and
is relished by the pigs it takes consid-7
cradle of it to go a little ways, and a
considerable amount of shorts, and old
corn, shelled and soaked in order to
soften it should be given Until the
new corn reaches the dough stage, a
limited quantity of green corn in the

their best on one feed exclusively or

In regard to the best age to put
swine on the market. certain condi-
lions must determine. If your pigs are
farrowed in April or May there is no
question that if the greatest profit is
to be realized they should be put on
the market as soon as possible after
200 pounds has been attained, and
they should be got to that weight az
quickly feed and good management
