HOW TO CARE FoR DUCKLINGs.

After the ducklings are Matched they
should remain in the incubator for TWEEN
ty-four hours, or until the twenty-ninth
day They should then be removed and
placed in brooders, about 100 in each, after
which they are fed and watered for the
first time. The first few days they should
be guarded very closely, and do not allow
them to become wet or chilled, and after
feeding see that all get back into the
brooder. In the course of few days they
become accustomed to their surroundings
and give no more trouble in this respect
Their food during the first week consists
OF equal parts of corn meal and wheat
bran, mixed to q crumbly mass with
either water, whole milk or SKINNED milk
They should be fed this mixture every
two hours, what they will eat I'D Clean
no more, no less. During the following five
weeks they should be fed four times daily
on equal parts of wheat bran, corn meal
and ground oat feed, per cent beef meal,
per cent grit, and some green stuff. such
as cut rye. chopped cabbage, ETC.
The seventh and eighth weeks they
should be fed three times daily with equal
parts Of corn meal and wheat, 10 per cent
Deer scraps, per cent grit and plenty of
green stun. From this time forward until
the tenth week they should be fed three
times daily two-thirds corn meal and one
third wheat bran, 10 per cent beef scraps.
per cent grit, and very little green stuff.
AT this age, with the above method Of
1eedlng, the young ducks should weigh
from 1--WE to six pounds each, and be ready
for the market.

Set your stand for house plants outdoors

Give lilies, roses and the tender bulbs a
thick mulch before hot, dry weather

The sun is good helper in weed killing.
If you can hoe only little while in the

THE SWINE SITUATION.

The four leading Western hog markets
have been receiving during June a con-
siderably larger number of hogs than dur
ing the same period a year ago, and very
many more than two years ago. Indeed,
the combined receipts for June thus far
exceed those of any previous June, and
the quality is reported to be excellent for
the season. Notwithstanding this fact
prices have been from S1.50 to 81 higher
per hundred than they were during the
first six months of 1899, and as much or
better than they were in 1898. The av-
erage June price this year is the best that
the country has known since 1893 In
nuenced by these prices and the situation
generally swine growers are feeling much
encouraged and are realizing that the hog
is good property. On the other hand the
situation is leading packers to hope and
labor for the establishment of lower
prices, and the indieat tons seem to be that
these may come during July Careful
market observers, however, feel strong
conviction that even though this should
be so reduction in prices will only be
temporary and that they will go higher
again later in the summer.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS.

The South Dakota state report saws.
Except where too seriously damaged nv
the preceding drought, the condition Of
wheat, oats, barley and rye has improv-
ed, especially in the middle-eastern and
southeastern sections. While the straw
generally IS still short, it has heightened
in most fields. Rye is nearly ready to
harvest in southern counties, but general
~ the bulk of the crop is thin, and some
scattered fields have been cut for hay
The condition of wheat ranges from
1ointing in northern to poisoning in ex-
treme southern counties, and, on the
whole, the late sown is the more prom
Using. Reports indicate that, for the
state, with favorable weather, hardly
half an average crop may be expected
Some southeastern counties promise well,
while IN middle and northern counties
large areas promise light yield and a
number CT fields are being plowed up and
resown to later crops. The same ap-
plies to oats and barley, though in a
number Of localities they promise better
than wheat, especially barley
In northern counties much corn is back
ward, and in many fields not a good
stand. Elsewhere this crop has made
rapid progress; is very promising in mid
die and southern counties, and some is
nearly ready to lay by.

WAX IN FRUITS.

Put wax in canned fruits and vege-
tables!' exclaimed a woman while listen
ing to friend, an experienced housekeep-
err, giving receipts for making dainty dish
es for which she was famous.
Certainly 1 do" the friend replied.
THAT is the great secret OF keeping sue
cessfully all kinds of canned fruits and
vegetables. 1t is very simple and you can
see at once why it is SO efficient a
preservative.
Into each can or jar drop a piece of
wax about half the size of the first joint
of your thumb. The fruit or vegetable is
hot of course, when it is poured into the
can, the wax melting forms a thin coat
ing around the top, bottom and sides, a
coating which keeps in the juices as we'll
as keeps out the air.
''When you open the can 1t is cold and
the coat of wax can be taken off as easily
as paper.
''If you have never tried it you cannot
realize it's excellence; if you once try it
I'm sure you will never think of any
other method"

VALUE OF LEMONS.

No family should be without lemons
Their uses are almost too many for emu
meration. The juice Of a lemon In not
water on awakening in the morning Is
an excellent liver corrective, and for stout
women is better than any anti-fat medl-
cine ever invented Glycerine and lemon
Juice, half and half, on bit of absorbent
cotton, is the best thing in the world
wherewith to moisten the lips and tongue
of a fever-parched patient. "A dash OF
lemon juice in plain water is an excel
lent tooth wash. 1t not only removes tar
tar, but sweetens the breath. A teaspoon
full of the juice in a small cup of black
coffee will almost certainly relieve a
bilious headache.

SUGGESTIONS OF VEGETABLES.

Vegetables of which every garden ought
to furnish a succession are radish, lie ,tuce,
peas, string beans, beets, cress and
turnips. Every book that was ever writ
ten on gardening has advised Sowing for
succession, every ten days or two weeks
yet only the gardens managed by garden
ers hired specially to see to such things
really furnish such SUGGESTIONS. The
farmer, in particular, is apt to neglect the
garden, if he does not forget 1t altogether
after the first sowing. Perhaps it Is a
waste of time to eXhort him to care for
the garden; but considering the amount
which the garden contributes to the fam
lily living, it seems as though it should
be worthy of better treatment.

THAT is THE STORY OF THE WEEK
IN THE SENSATIONAL GRAIN
MARKETS
sANGUINE BULLS SURPRISED
Weather Conditions and Lack OF
Support In Liverpool Had Much
to Do with the Drop
in Prices.

The sensational advance in wheat was
followed by drop in prices fully as SEN
sational. AT Chicago July wheat dropped
from 50 to S0A lD2G3sc-above Z cents. The
difference la prices is at that ratio IN
the various leading grain centers of the
country. Bulls are sorely disappointed.
There seemed every reason to believe that
wheat prices had not reached the limit.
even at the high figures attained so
quickly the previous week Reports were
to the effect that the growing crop had
been injured by lack of rain, beyond re-
pair, and upon that theory the bull Gle
ment builded its hopes for the future of
the market. If there was to be little grain
harvested then prices must surely go
higher, and dollar wheat was freely hint
ed at. Fortunes were made and lost dur
ing the furry in wheat Nothing like it
had been experienced since the neyer-to-
be-forgotten Letter deal, and the public
took hold freely. Then came the days of
liquidation, and. right upon the heels OF
that disturbing influence, reports of rains
in sections of the Northwest, with
promise that there were more to follow.
Even now there is belief among the bulls
that liquidation is most responsible for
the recent slump and that so soon as the
public has taken it's profits wheat will
again soar upward.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn has ruled firm and rather active
during the bulge in wheat. So strong
was the grain market that the falling off
in wheat prices had little effect upon the
coarser grain. Even now corn is consid-
cred good property, and holders cvince
no desire to unload at a loss. With an
other advance in wheat they argue, corn
must take on renewed strength, and so
they propose to hold on for time, and
take some chances.
Business in oats has been fairly active.
Prices are firm, and though there has
been little change in figures, Yet the
oats market Is in flourish ng shape
STOCKS ARE DULL.
Little is doing in stocks these days.
There were several busy days during the
furry in wheat, and prices occasionally
took an upturn. Toward the close of
the week, however the general list drift
ed back into the channel of dizziness, and
there it was at the close of business Sat
urday Money rules easy, and there are
no disturbing factors in the stock mar

fessional. and is of the waiting sort.

The moonfowers can be grown either
from seeds or cuttings. Plants raised
from cuttings are generally best, because
they flower six weeks earlier than those
grown from seeds sown in April. The
moonf1ower is not hardy; it should be cut
down to about ten or twelve inches before
frost sets in, lifted carefully and potted,
and removed to a light cellar for the
winter. Cuttings made in the fall can
be rooted readily, kept in light cellar
over winter, and planted out In spring.
