A good many feeders are debating
just now as to the wisdom of trying 10
feed steers for beef the coming winter,
the question being whether they can
make anything by feeding 80 cent
corn. One thing is certain, there will
be great falling off of beef produc-
ton in any. event This fact is likely to
put good beef animals up to fancy
prices by next spring, and if man has
the right sort of steers-well bred beef
animals-we had just as soon take our
chance feeding them so cent corn this
year as 80 cent corn in ordinary sea-
sons. Then, the side issue Of the hogs
associated with the feeding of the
steers is sure to be good proposition.
Now, mind, this statement is predicted
upon the kind of steers fed, for we
would not attempt the job with scrub
stock

The average cost to farmer to Sc
cure telephone line and outfit is
about $50. and the charge for main
tenarfce is a mere nothing. When so
useful and practical thing can be OBJ
tanned at SO small cost, no live, wide
awake farmer should be without one.
The telephone will pay for itself every
year, besides keeping the women folks
from having the blues.

made from September and October

In the year 1861 the barrel of -four
made at the Minneapolis mills was
sent down the river to Lacrosse, thence
by rail to Milwaukee, thence by lake
back to Duluth, within $50 miles of
where 1t was manufactured, at cost
of over 81 per barrel. Within the past
three years the same barrel of -four has
been put on board cars at the mill and
shipped to the seaboard for less than
25 cents.

The stubble fields where the chinch
bug or any other insect pest has been
very troublesome should be burned
over when dry enough to destroy any
eggs they may have left there or that
may intend wintering there. Then let
the weeds get a good start on the burn
ed land, but not go to seed, and plow
them in. Most weeds can then be kept
down by narrowing about once In two
weeks. but we would prefer to put on
some crop to remain the winter and be
plowed under TO furnish vegetable mat
ter for another season. This viii pre-.
vent loss by washing or by the mineral
matter teaching down into the soil.

The stomachs and craws Of 800 spar

department at Washington. In but one
was the remains of a game bird found.
Fifty-three contained other birds, most

mice and IL other mammals, IL had
frogs, 81 snakes, 20 spiders, and the
balance Of the hawks had empty stom-
achs. This surely is an argument
against the killing of this kind Of
hawks.
