There is no finer jelly fruit than the
wild grape, but they are seldom used
because Of the difficulty Of gathering
them from treetops and other almost
inaccessible Places. Every man might
just as well have all he wanted where
they would, bear well and be easy Of
access by planting the vines along the
barbed wire fences on his farm. They
would require no care or attention.
This is worth trying.

FEED AND BREED.

One principal reason why many men
Will not invest in improved breeds of
cattle Is because they cling to the old
and exploded theory that 1t is feed
alone which makes the breed. While
these men will concede that well bred
Poland-China hog is more profitable
animal for them to keep than a prairie
rooter and SO raise only improved hogs
they still maintain that the scrub steer
or the scrub COW is just as good as any
and keep right on raising scrubs. Feed
and breed must go together. The finer
bred the cattle are the better the care
they require, and given such care they
easily enlarge the profits Of the man
Wt0 keeps them. A given number of
bushels of corn will put as much
weight on to scrub steer as on to
well bred Angus or Shorthorn, but in
the case Of the scrub it goes on in the
shape of kidney fat and the poorer
cuts of meat, while with the well bred
| beef animal it is converted into sir
loin and porterhouse steak and rib
ronsts. Make q note of the fact that
top prices are never received at the
stockyards for any save well bred cat
tie. The scrub animal has place. it is
true, with the man who can do no bet
ter than let his cattle rustic for their
living, the scrub being harder and
better fitted for getting living this
way than the better bred animal, but
on high priced land and given proper
care he cannot compete with his bet
| ter born brother.

HOT WEATHER AND SUGAR.

Sugar comes from the sun, and so It
comes that given sufficient moisture to
insure plant growth the more sun and
warmth the sweeter will all sugar pro-
ducing plants be. The present year
has been prolific in these sugar pro-
ducing conditions, and SO it comes that
the corn crop is exceptionally good, the
melons and beet roots more full of sug-
ar than usual, the sweet potatoes never
SO good.

Milking cows, no matter what the
conveniences Of the cow barn may be,
will always be more unpleasant work
than almost any other on the farm and
always be reluctantly done by hired
help. This fact ever and always oper-
ateS to limit the business of dairying.

theoretically big corn crop makes
cheap pork, but the crop is not excep-
tionally large this year, and it goes in
to empty cribs. Corn is not likely to
be worth less than 25 cents, even
where the yield is most abundant.

The reports from the various locali-
ties in Iowa and Minnesota where the
growing of the sugar beet has this year
been attempted on commercial scale
are very gratifying, the yield Of beets
and price obtainable for them assuring
net income to the grower of from $50
to $50 per acre.

The meanest of all mean weeds in
our opinion is the squirreltail grass or

We noted a small field recently which
had produced crop Of oats this sea-

The rape seed was sown with the oats,
and its rank growth after the oat crop
was harvested in one way solved the
question of securing an abundant sup
ply Of nutritious green food for hogs
and sheep during the late summer and
fall months. This plan is worth trial

RELEASE AMERICAN FLOUE.
British Authorities Yield to American
Representations.

LONDON (By Cab!a).-The American flour
seized of Delagoa Bay has been released.
The United States Ambassador, Joseph
II. Choate, had an interview with the Mar
uuis OF Salisbury and received verbal re-
Dry to the representations OF the Washing
ION Government. The British note on this
subject was sent later to the United States
Embassy. The gist OF 1t was cGbled to
Washington. In brief. foodstuffs are not
considered contraband OF war unless in
tended for the enemy.
Several OF the Governments advisors
wanted to make regulation regarding
canned goods, but this was decided to bo
lmpracticable. The decision to make -four
and grain in transi. to the enemy contra
band is evidently hodSed in by many
difficulties OF execution. But the Foreign
Office believes that investigation will
generally determine whether the grain Is
really meant fo- consumption ut Lorenzo
MARQUES or in the TranSvaal.
Mr.. Choate cacled Lord Sa!isbury's note
to the State Department at Washington,
and Colonel Hay is expected to reply ac-
cspting the terms.
The British authorities, il is announced,
also have released tho German stenmer
Herzog, which was seized on January e

With their arrival it is assumed that
Iheir clearer vision. supported by $1,000

situation, and that the fourth month oil the

victories for the British arms.
They are not, however, expected to pro-
duce definite results for some days; but
their mere presence will restore the shaken
confidence Of the men at the front in their
Generals.
