Current Comment.

DRESS ED POULTRY Receipts have fallen
off a good deal since our last wsekly report,
and here has been light supply OF fresh
killed poultry. There are only small lots
OF fresh killed turkeys coming and hardly
any Of desirable size and quality. The few
western chickens arriving are generally too
hard and shaggy to bring oyer to 10c.
Western fowls have been in limited supply,
steady demand, and ruling little tirmer.
AT the close best marks are bringing 10dc in
boxes and 10c. in bbls. Old cocks steady
at to 7Ac. Capons in moderate supply and
choice large selling fairly at 10 to lac
CHEESE Receipts for export 7 ,941 boxes.
There has been no change Of consequence
since our last report. The feeling is steady
and demand for fine northern fall twins is
fairly active at 10 TO 12&c. Fair to good
grades hold steady at 10 to 1l1c. West.
twins in limited supply Ohio flats have
only a moderate sale.
WooL.-It would be too much to say that
the wool market is stronger. It is not,
Nevertheless, there really is a little more
courage in the trade to hold on little
longer. The spectacular clearance sales Of
wool from the stock OF houses going out Of
business have had one excellent effect.
They have attracted buyers. No less than
thirteen buyers from Philadelphia alone
were in the market on one day this week,
and there is scar cely mill OF consC quence
that has not been represented. The move
ment, as will be noted from the shipments,
continues liberal and several stable sales,
especially OF Australian, territory and pull
ed woods, have been made this week. The
most remarkable feature is that though
wool has not advanced, the big discount
sale at six cents secured pound less than
the average level of the market has not
been duplicated. There Is less of desper
ate pressure to sell, and If the market is still
flat 1t is at least no long burrowing into
the earth. The level this week is 80 to 40
clean for fine medium territory clothing,
other woods in proportion.
PoTATos There is no improvement to
report in the general condition of the mar
ket Receipts continue liberal and most
everything has a slow dragging sale, with
prices leaning in buyers favor. Green
Mountains range from 90 to 65c, but only
fancy Houlton stock exceeds Csc. Best

Finish the Cattle.

Every feeding season when the price
OF corn ranges somewhat above the av-
erage we are called on to urge the fin
ishing of good cattle in the feed-lot be-
fore sending them to market. Unless
prices are pretty stiff many feeders lose
nerve as they contemplate the dimin-
ishing cribs and the rising price of corn
and rush their cattle to market before
they have taken on that finish which
makes the difference between a good
and an Indifferent bid from the buyer.
AT the present time complaint arises
from every market place that unfnish
ed stuff is pouring in and that the class
of cattle is for the most part of poor
quality. In the latter case there is
nothing much to be done. Common
stuff finds small demand and must &C.
cept price in keeping with its charac-
ter. The man who pours his corn into
common cattle always does 80 at risk
1t is always a gamble whether he gets
out whole. If he has bought cheap
enough and the market ia with him at
sale time he may win out, but the
chances are against success in feeding
low-grade cattle. Nevertheless thou
sands of men continue to take the
chances as the receipts at present show.
But the feeder who has decent stuff
in his feed-lot should make it good. 1t
is losing proposition to hurry the cat
tie to market unfinished. There is a
big spread between fulfilled steers and
those unfinished. Choice cattle are in
strong demand at good prices while the
habitat steer must sell at a sacrifice

SclfRespecting Farmers,

A young farmer begins what at the
time he thinks his life work will be,
but the hot suns of summer or the low
price of produce or the effects of some
devastating storm change his mind, ard
he begins to regret his choice. Such
men cannot succeed in life. They lack
fixedness of purpose and resolution to
surmount difficulties.
A young man is reported that last
spring had his first planting Of corn
eaten up by the cutworms. He planted
again, and disastrous food swept over
his fields and destroyed his crop. The
third time he planted late in June, and
he has made one of the largest corn
crops in the country. This young
mans character has derived great bene-
fit from his misfortunes. 1t has been
strengthened, and hereafter he will
never strike sail to calamity.
The moral effect of success upon
character is as great as the effect of
AullulO3 Uu1 III q
Success strengthens the will; failure
weskens it. Success inspires conf
dence; failure destroys it. Success
elevates; failure depresses. Success
knows no failure; failure knows no
success.
Pride in calling is the surest guaran-
tee of success, We should like to see
all our farmers taking pride in their
business. This pride is exhibited in
good barns and good fences, in we'll
kept grounds, in the appearance of
stock and in the excellence of the
crops. In whatever farmer takes the
greatest pride in that he will make the
greatest success, whether it be his
crops or his stock, his fence or his
houses. 1t is said that pride goes be-
fore fall, but this is the pride of van
ity and not the pride of merit.-South-
ern Farm Magazine.

AGRICULTURAL.
COrnstalk Disease,

In the Western States, where they
husk their corn in the field and turn
the cattle out to eat the stalks, or what
they will OF them, there have been
many complaints of loss of cattle by
what they call the cornstalk disease.
While the cattle on some farms seem
to be unaffected by it, others have lost
many head, il not whole herds. Many
farmers are cutting and burning the
stalks in the field and feeding the cattle
at the barns rather than to take their
chances. At first it was supposed that
the dry fodder caused impaction of the
stomach, but veterinarian who has
made many post-mortem examinations
Of animals that have died from this
trouble, says he has found no impac-
ton in stomach or intestines, but has
found the brains and spinal cord badly
congested, and some congestion of
liver and kidneys, Indications of viru-
lent poison.
He attributes it 10 what is called
mouldy corn, not such as we find when
1t is put up unripe or when wet, but
strips of rusty, brownish looking grains
on the ear. This is really not mould,
but species of ergot, even more dam
gerous than the black smut which we
sometimes have on ears or tassels.
Huskers leave these in the field, and
they are poison TO the cattle. Expert
ments have shown that when fed to
chickens, swine or horses, the chick
ems die, the pigs lose bristles and hoofs,
and the horses are rendered useless, if
they do not die. We do not know
that this species Of mould or ergot
has ever appeared here, but if any
one finds it on his corn we advise
the destruction of all such ears, as we
have before advised burning or bury
ing deep every specimen of the black
smut on the ear or stake American

Growing Winter Lambs.

P. L., Baltimare County, Nd, writes
in substance as follows:
81 have just returned from my farm
in Virginia and am puzzled to know
how l shall proceed to rear four heal
thy but disowned lambs. The trouble
is milk is scarce, aud am thinking of
giving them condensed milk instead of
cows milk. My man on the farm
claims that condensed milk will give
them the scOurs, but l do not see how
that can be when it is wholesome for
children. Thus far have twenty-nine
lambs from eighteen ewes, and they
are thriving. My wife, who ia now
living on our farm near Manassas, re-
quested me to write you and inquire if
condensed milk will agree with the
lambs being raised on the bottle. If
this can be done it will save much in
convenience in sending to the neigh.
borssfor milk"
Answer; 1t is not known that such
experiment has ever been tested, but
it is believed it might succeed. There
is no apparent reas IN why condensed
milk should not be as healthful and
agreeable to lambs as to children, but
it would require test to decide the
matter. 1t is understood that the it,

the desirable accompaniment of a
young fresh COW when lambs drop.
Most people who grow these lambs
consider fresh COW or two necessi-
ty, according to the number OF lambs
grown. There are always some weak
lambs, and mainly because their dams
are not good mixers. And then it is
rare that eve with twin lambs yields
as much milk as both should have
when grown for this purpose. To
bring the best prices the lambs, above
all other things, must be fat, and to get
them in this condition they must have
all the milk they will take from the
start to finish. The importance of this
is well illustrated ia the market report
of The Weekly Tribune for February
IA, in which it is said that country
dressed winter lambs bring from s. to
81. Now fat, or the absence of it,
causes this great disparity in price. Is
it not best to rive for the best price2
A Tompkins county expert grower
came near the top price lately with a
bunch of six lambs, when five of them
brought $40 each and one SO. A suf-
fciency of milk, supplemented with the
usual grains and clover hay, is what
did it. There are two ways to feed
lambs cows milk.
