Wheat of the World.

The latest and probably the
most authentic estimate of the
wheat crop of the world for 1900
gives total production of 2,o6o,-
318,557 bushels. This is 292, I45,
SGT bushels less than the year
previous. There should be an
annual increase of ~ per cent to
keep pace with increase of con-
sumers, while in good times"
such as the world is now said to
be enjoying, the consumption is
conceded to be above the normal.
But to provide for natural increase
of consumers alone, and assuming
that the yield of 90 was not above
ordinary requirements, and in fact
it was not, the production of 1900
should have been 2,385.o82, 764
bushels. That the production was
so much below normal without
having a very marked effect on
the price of wheat seems to be as
strong evidence as can be asked
for that artificial and not natural
causes are responsible for the low
range of prices during the year.
1t looks on the surface as if these
artificial causes must be very
strong indeed to keep prices at
the present level during the re-
mainder of the season.

say that not half of our farmers
receive the bulletins. The hay IS
cured in what is called stack
frame. This is constructed on the
principle of series of shelves
placed one above the other in such
fashion that the air can circulate
freely all through the stack. The
stack is constructed of poles or old
rails, and is not expensive to
make. The pea vines are hauled
to the stack when slightly wilted,
end no leaves are lost, while with
the old-fashioned method the
vines are innocent of all leaves by
the time they are properly cured
and nutriment, too. When cured
totally in the shade, on stack
frame, the hay retains its beauti-
full green, and aroma, a quantity
to be desired in hay.

Hay from Cow Peas.

Only a few years ago the far
mers around here bought just
about all their hay, but during
the last two or three years great
change has been made; for not
only do they raise all they need,
but, to a greater or less extent, for
the market. This change for the
better was brought about by the
introduction of the cow-pea for
hay; but also due to large extent,
to improved, modern methods of
curing the hay. This new method
of management was first brought
before the farmers by the Arkan-
sas experiment station, whose

FOR THE FARMER.
The Early Potatoes.

One of the first items of work to
be done in the Spring, as soon as
the condition of the soil will admit,
is the planting of early potatoes.
While it is an item to plant early
there is nothing gained by trying
to work the soil or to plant the
seed when the soil is too wet to
work readily.
Potatoes thrive best in a loose,
loamy soil, stirred or plowed deep
and worked into good filth.
While potatoes require consider
able moisture to make the best
growth, an excess of moisture is
detrimental. Hence, with the
early crop, especially, either fairly
high ground should be selected or
good drainage provided.
With the later planting deep
covering is best, as plants growing
deep into the soil are less liable to
be injured by drought. But shall
lower planting is best for the early
planting, as the soil is usually
somewhat cold, and if the seed is
covered too deep will be slow to
terminate. The risk of rotting is
also greatly increased by early
deep planting, especially if the
weather should be cold and wet
for several days after planting.
Use medium-sized tubers for
seed, cutting to two eyes, so far as
possible cutting so as to have a
part of the center or heart with
each piece.
-Four inches is deep enough to
plant for the early crops. Mark
out the burrows three feet apart
and drop out the pieces a foot
apart. 1t will pay to take little
pains to drop the flesh or cut side
down and to press the seed down
upon the soil. Then cover. II

where each hill is to be, will help
in securing thrifty start to grow.
Thorough cultivation should be
given. Usually two borrowings
can be given to advantage before
the plants have made a sufficient
growth to use the cultivator.
Deep and thorough stirring of
the soil before planting, and clean,
thorough, shallow cultivation
should be the rule.

SpriaQ and Summer Pasture for HOGS.

This is a problem that every
farmer would like to solve in the
most practical manner. S ON e
think they have solved it. A cor
respondent of the Breeders Ga
zette thinks it is blue glass and
rye. He says that from experience
he thinks blue grass and rye make
the best Winter ration These
can even be pastured in the Win
ter when there is little or no snow.
"In May and June clover is the
most valuable hog pasture we ever
tried. When rye is used for early
pasture it should be turned under
with breaking pillow about the
middle of May, the ground leveled
with harrow and then sown in
rape or oats or both together-we
prefer them sown together, the
seed being we'll narrowed in. This
will make splendid green, tender
feed when the clover and other
grasses begin to get old and tough.
We find that our hogs like this
green oats and rape in midsummer
better than any other green feed
we ever prepared for them. They
are in this pasture early and late
and they thrive on it remarks ably
we'll. 1t is both healthful and
very cheap feed"

ger of this disease. And unless
treatment is given at the first symp-
toms and unusual care is taken
the results are often fatal.
The early or premonitory symp;
toms are restlessness of the animal.
paving, shifting of her feet, rest
ing on one and then on the other,
with disturbed breathing. the eyes
have a wild, staring expression,
the muzzle is hot and dry, the
mouth open and the tongue pro-
truding. At this stage of the dis
ease the cow is often very irritable,
and the udder is swollen, and is
hot and tender to the tough. AS
the disease advances to the second
stage the first noticeable symptoms
are partial or complete suspen-
sion of milk, the eyes are full and
bullying, having peculiarly wild
expression, the lining membrane
of the eyelids is leaden hue, and
the hind legs become weak and
tottering-this movement usually
continuing until the animal seeks
support against some object within
her reach. She ceases to chew
her cud, her calf goes unnoticed,
the udder becomes hard and swol-
len and little if any milk can be
drawn from it.
Breathing becomes more distress
ed, the pulse slower than before,
gradually becoming worse and she
struggles and falls to the ground.
After this stage of the disease
the symptoms vary in different
animals. Sometimes the COW toss
es her head to and fro, lashes her
tail. means, bellows and has the
appearance of being in great pain.
The respiration becomes more diff
cult, cold sweats cover the body
and the paunch is swollen enor-
mously. The pulse is oppressed,
the legs and horns are cold and
the animal dies.
Sometimes the disease assumes
the chronic form and is less severe.
Treatment should begin as soon
as possible after the first symp-
toms appear. A good remedy is
to take one pound of EPSON salts,
two ounces of powdered Jamaica
ginger, mix we'll together and d.
vide into six powders, one to be
given three times day in a little
warm water, alternating every six
hours with one of the following
powders: Chlorate of potassia,
powdered, one ounce; digitalis
leaves, powdered, one-half ounce;
anthony tart, one-half ounce; mix
we'll together and divide into
six powders.
If there is inflammation of the
womb and surroundings, when
the attack comes on, three or four
days after calving, take calomel,
one-half drachm; laudanum, two
ounces; castor oil, one pound; mix
with warm water and molasses,
divide into four doses and give
two hours apart.
The COW should be placed in a
dry warm, but well-ventilated box
stall, and be we'll supplied with
clean, dry straw.
The milk should be drawn of
frequently, and if she is unable to
rise to her feet she should occa-
sionally be turned over.
Feeding on laxative food for a
few days before calving and TAX
ing pains to milk clean are valu-
able aids to prevent this trouble.

When hiving swarms on hot days. if
the bees cluster on the front of the hive
and hesitate to 90 in, do not hurry them
too much. They are excited and hot
and want plenty of air. Raise up the
front of the hive an inch or two and
shade them with a board. and when
they get cooled off they will go in all
right. Always make it comfortable for
swarms. 1t is the only holiday they
take in the whole year, says f. G.. Her

nal.
In this locality the linden or bass

down into the brood nest again and
this fact for tNe benefit of those who
may be similarly situated and advise
that all sections be taken off the hives
after the. summer honey flow has ended
and all partly filed ones be replaced in
time to catch the fall flow, provided Of
course you are fortunate enough to

ar n Of n
fancy grade honey it Is important to
know how to take it from the hive and
not have the bees puncture the nice
white cappings, which is often done,
and the honey is then rated as second
grade. When ready to take off honey,
approach the hive and, with the smoker
well going. send in a few puffs Or
smoke at the entrance, then raise the
back end of the super and puff in lit
tie more smoke very gently.
Do not frighten the bees by rough
handling or jarring the hive in any
way, for then they will run to the
boxes and puncture the cappings and
fill themselves with honey.
After raising the super about six
inches on the back end with one hand
slip the bees escape under it with the
other hand and adjust everything in
its place. The bees will all make their
exit through the escape in the board
one by one, and your super will be
ready to come off the next day.
1t is best to put on escapes toward
evening, so the bees in the super will
not be too hot. Now, If you have been
! judicious and expeditions in all your
manipulations you may carry off your
super of nice comb honey the next
morning without a puncture or a
scratch.

The recent automobile race from
Paris to Berlin attracted international
attention because of the keen interest
which Is just now taken in the me-
chanical vehicle, says the Washington
Star. While Europeans were chiefly
concerned in the performance of the
distinctive types of machines, Ameri-
cans could not avoid the thought that
such race is virtually impossible in
this country under conditions promis-
ing any fair test of quality. There are
no such roads here as those which in
Europe permit intercity automobiling
and wheeling.
Our highways, save for short dis
tances outside the larger cities, are dis
gracefully rough and unkept. Much
has been done in the past few years to
awaken the people to a sense of this
condition, and the movement has been
greatly accelerated by the wide popu-
larity which the bicycle and the auto
mobile have gained. 1t is to be hoped
that the race will so stimulate the pride
of the American steam and electric ma
chine owners that dozen years hence
1t will be possible to organize a 1000
mile race out of any one of a score of
scattered cities under ideal road con-
ditions.
1t Is n noteworthy fact that until very
recently nothing has been done in this
country to collect and study road sta
tistics. The good roads division of the
department Of agriculture, which has
been doing excellent work for several
seasons, has lately undertaken to
remedy this defect and Is now engaged
In gathering data as to the character
and number of vehicles which use Ger.
tain roads.
1t Is hoped that in this manner 1t may
be possible to demonstrate by figures
the extent to which the highways are
used by various classes. This will per-
NIT the study on an accurate basis Of
the wearing qualities of different road
materials under varying conditions.
The institution of this inquiry leads to
the hope that by thus Systematically
approaching the subject the govern.
the interest Of state legislatures to the
point of the enactment of uniform
highway laws. 1t is only by concerted
action in this manner and by the adop.
ton Of even standards of excellence in
all the states that roads will be pro.
duced which will compare favorably
with those Of Europe.
