Current Comment

WooL-The market Is much quieter. Sales
| small again and the attendance much more
| limited. This is not due, however, TO any
weakening in rates, but rather to the fact
that the entire attention of the trade has
| been conferred on the West. There seems
| to be general conviction that wool has
| touched bottom and the big operators are
taking on wool freely in Montana, Idaho
and Oregon. 1t Is estimated that twelve
| million pounds OF wool, including consigned
wool, have started from Montana alone for
Boston within the last ten days. The re-
| ceipts of domestic, 1t will be noted, show a
| tendency to increase. Hitherto they have
| Jagged wotully. This weeks receipts are
still less than those of the corresponding
week Of last year, but they are ahead OF
last weeks by 6,0OO bales, the first evidence
Of really active movement in the new clip
from the west to the seaboard Prices here
are generally very steady. The sales that
have been made show no disposition to
yield from the slightly firmer ground taken
three weeks ago.
BUTTER. Receipts show slight increase
this week instead OF shripkage, but a con-
siderable proportion OF the arrivals has
been more or less defective and the supply
OF strictly fine fresh creamery continues a
little short. There has been a steady, fair
demand for fine goods and prices have been
advanced another cent during the week.
Fine northern assorted sizes cleaned up
well on Monday at 2l1c. Tuesdays receipts
were light and generally held at &c, and
since then the market has been firm at this
figure for strictly extra goods. Lots not
quite up To grade are selling at 81 to 2l5c,
and some buyers are making such goods do
rather than pay the full price for extras.
Wes ern assorted sizes have advanced to

Experience With Chicken Cholera.

When 1 was keeping poultry some
years ago, an epidemic OF chicken chol-
era broke out in the neighborhood and
wrought considerable damage before it
was recognized and method of treat
mentdevised. The family doctor had TAX
en- an interest in my flock land when told
of the affection diagnosed it as cholera.
His remedies which appear below, were
very successful with birds not air eady
beyond the reach of help and probably
prevented the extinction of my entire
flock.
The poultry house was thoroughly
cleaned, the rubbish from nests and
floor burned, and a whitewash of fresh
ly burned lime with about dessert
spoonful of crude acid to each pailful
applied to every surface possible of &C.
cess. The whitewash was applied
while still hot, 80 as to utilize the ger
micidal quality of fresh lime. The
roosts, yard and every available spot
were then dlslnfected with spray of
carbolic acid and water, at the rate Of
about tablespoonful TO the pailful.
Fresh dust with carbolic acid was then
put in the scratching boxes. The drink
ing water was carbolized, about tea
spoonful to the gallon.
So much for disinfection; now for
treatment. A teaspoonful of assaletida
and dessertspoonful of epson salts
were thoroughly mixed with the soft
food--enough for my flock of twenty
five. The few birds that did not want
to eat were dosed with salts and ASA
fetida and placed in the sunlight. At
intervals of about week two other dis
Infections were given.--M. G.. Kains,

The Delicate Calf.

The stomach OF a calf is delicate and
sensitive and any change of feed
should be made gradually. Do not
change from whole milk to skim-milk
faster than pound day, allowing
from ten days to two weeks for the
change. Before turning on pasture in
the spring it is better to feed a little
green feed and gradually increase the
amount until the limit of the calf is
reached. Otherwise the calf may suf-
fer severely from scours by the sudden
change to pasture.
Don't over feed. Calves are greedy
at feeding time and there is often a
greet temptation to give more milk
than the calf can properly handle, thus
causing them to scour. Overlooking is
undoubtedly the main reason why 30
many farmers are unable to raise good,
thrifty calves on skimmilk.
Never put corn, kafir corn meal or
any other grain in the milk for calves.
The starch in the corn has to be
changed to grape sugar before it is di-
gestible. This change only takes place
in the presence of an alkali and is done
chiefly by the saliva of the mouth.
When corn is gulped down with the
milk, the starch is not acted on by the
acids Of the stomach but remains I'M
changed until it comes in contact with
the alkaline secretions of the intestines.
With hogs the stomach is small and the
intestines long. This allows starchy
matter to be digested in the calf, the
stomach being large and the intestines
short. Unless the starchy matter is
largely digested by the saliva of the
mouth complete digestion will not take
place in the intestines and the calf
scours.-D. H. Otis in Kansas Exper-
iment Station Bulletin.
