May wheat shows "a loss of about &c for
the week closed Saturday. The wheat
market has been most discouraging to
those who have stout1y resisted the opin-
ion that the lower prices were due. The
bull element steadily commended that de-
elines were not justified, and backed
their opinion to such an extent as to
cause frequent rallies which. however,
proved largely spasnnodic and lasted only
a sufficient period to give the bears adj
ditionaI profits on their deals The prfn-
cipa1 reason assigned for the decline in
wheat prices was that the conditions IA
vored bigger crops that there was more
wheat in the country than estimates had
given an account for, and that 1t was not
visible for the reason that holders were
awaiting better prices. Upon this basis
it was urged that when the wheat came
out there must be. a slump, hence the DIS
inclination to take hold with any degree
Of energy. lei
CORN AMI, OATS.
For time It looked as though corn
was destined to take quite forward
step I'll the matter OF prices. So long as
wheat held it's OWN corn was right II
line with the finefa grain and lost none OF
its buoyancy until wheat began to sag.
Then corn followed Suit, and for the
past week IittS DtSt even w 0dhSI tIidIi
wheat. The export demand for corn has
fallen off materially of late. and this has
had tendency to weaken the coarser
grain. Then tt is reported at frequent
intervals that there Is ample corn In the
country, and that, like wheat. 1t IS beina
withheld for improvement in prices. The
outlook for the corn market Is not en-
couragfng at present
Oats have attracted little attention Of
late. Those who buy oats seem to have
about all they care for, and until some
thing happens to cause new demand
there Is every reason to believe that oats
will remain, at best, stationary as 20
prices.
STOCKS IRREGULAR.
The stock market may be classed r.
regular. That Is the easiest way to ex-
plain a condition that puzzles the most
astute of the stock spectators. Money
has had little to do In shaping the course
of the stock market the past week, for
the reason that there has been no furry
i'll cash and no hardening of rates to as
sist the bear element in beating down
prices. Even the better class, of securi
ties have not escaped the general feeling
of doubt and uncertainty, and there have
been LOSSES where least expected. The
only excuse for existing conditions offer
ed by the bull element Is that stocks are
in waiting shape, and that the tempo-
rary dullness is not an indication Of ger-
eral depression In prices.

ures to show that the weakest Of birds
must work from morning TIL night to
secure food enough for himself and his

for each lamb to stand In and eat. This
rack I use for both hay and grain, al
ways sweeping 1t out clean before the
grain Is fed. The grain Is apportioned
out for each lamb. I do not like the self
feeder for grain, as some lambs will get
too much, while others will not get
enough to eat, and there will always be
q, bad tail end to q bunch of lambs fed in
this way, also more or less loss will re-
suit. It Is necessary to have an extra
yard In which to drive the flock while
placing the grain in the racks. and YOU
should see the little fellows bound when
the gate Is opened, each lamb knowing
his place at the feed rack.

Feeding Sheen.

At the recent meeting of the Mime
sofa Live Stock association a valuable
paper on sheep feeding was read by E.
Cooper, of Adrian Mimi, an experienced
and successful feeder. We quote from
the paper the following bit OF his meth
DDS:
My method In the fall Is, as soon as I
hear of any lambs for sale IN my vicinity,
to visit the flock once or twice before
buying, and see if the grade and condi-
ton of the flock suits my fancy. BY the
way, they must be crossed we'll with my
fayorite, the Shropshire ram, and must
be in good condition or they are passed
No lamb that has ever been securing will
go into my feed lot unless it goes out
of my own flock. Then, when the lambs
first arrive at the farm, we treat them
with that never-failing necessary requi-
site-a good dipping.
This Is the first good step in the win
ter care of any sheep or lamb. as life is
too short and time too precious to feed
ticks Or lice, and the looks OF the flock
will more than repay the cost and trouble
Of dipping, to say nothing of the pecu-
MARY difference and the comfort Of the
poor lamb that Is covered with ticks
After the dipping process is finished, the
lambs are allowed to dry in yard con-
tanning no feed; not in pasture, as all
dips are more or less poisonous
When the feeding begins we start the
flock on about one-half pound per day of
bran and oats mixed In the proportion
Of half and half by weight for each lamb.
then gradually increase the oats until we
have them on about one pound each per
day, which will be about one-quarter of
pound of bran and three-quarters of a
pound of oats. This will be continued for
about three weeks, when the lamb is
about able to go onto full feed. Then
we gradually mix some shel,ed corn in
the feed and get them onto corn and bran
alone (the cheapest balanced ration in
our locality, feeding them all the good
upland, short prairie hay. they will clean
up, which is no small amount while they
are getting onto full feed. The hay can
gradually be taken off in part and more
heavy grain, such as corn, may be add
ed OF course this method will apply
only to farmers who wish to feed in a
small way. say from one car load to 2G0a
head, and not to the big feeders, who
feed on screenings and feed fifty to q
hundred thousand head.

Washing, Sailing and Working But
ter.
The New York Produce Review asked
these questions:
The question is: GAY How should but
ter. be washed? (b) How should 1t be
sailed to secure evenness and perfect dis
solution e(cl How should it be worked?
The answers from this section were as
follows:
O. A. Storwick, Minnesota-After but
for-,, III rim, tap In,
nearly the same temperature as your
butternIilk was-not over two degrees
colder I'm winter; run ehurn a few revolt
liens if necessary. OBJ Distribute salt
evenly over the butter while in granular
form; run churn, three or four revolu-
tons; do not be In hurry In working;
a little at time is best, so as to give
the salt a chance to get properly incor-
porated and dissolved.
C. J. Bangs, Minnesota = (a) Depends
on condition OF butter and time Of sea-
son. In winter butter may be washed by
sprinkling water over the butter in churn;
while at other times 1t should be washed
by revolving churn with water and but
ter (bl 1t should be sailed In the ehurn.
In the combined churn the churn should
be revolved ten times. (c) Butter should
be worked over several times; in the COM
bined churn it is best to leave it In the
churn for three or four hours, giving it a
few rounds every half hour.
S. Stanberg, Minnesota-(a) Wash In
pure and cold water summer 60 degrees,
winter 81 degrees; drain well. (b) Dis
tribute salt we'll and evenly. Let it soak
in butter one hour. Revofve churn about
ten revolutionsi let it stand one hour and
work. (c) If ON worker, finish; If In
churn, work and let 1t dissolve.
Leland Griffin, South Dakota-{a) I
wash in one water, filling the churn near
ly as full of water as cream. OBJ Dis
tribute the salt evenly ever the butter
then work (this is for combined churns).
Work till, in your Judgment. from past
experience. it is enough. This working
of butter is Judgment agein; hardly any
two patches of butter Will require the
same handling.
