that at last the duke touched his shout

lie Is Man OF Consequence About
the StOCSSynrdS.
The buyer occupies a position of con-
sequence in the stOciiyardS community.
lie is an expert, usuIiy a man of mid
die age. who has obtained his ednca-
ton aud technical ability partly in the
packing houses and partly on the ranch.
An experienced buyer is likely to re-
ceive q salary of $4,000 to $1,000
year, and he is worth all Of that, for on
his ability to tell by moments in
spectiOn what quality Of beef will be
produced by a steer that he never be-
fore laid eyes on depends primarily the
excellence of the product issued by his
house and hence the increase Of its
business.
The buyers work is not arduous, and
to all appearance his task is a simple
one. He walks along the fiat board
laid along the top Of the fence, glanc-
ing keenly at the cattle in the different
pens. Some he passes by without n
pause, others he stops to inspect more
closely, and occasionally he displays
his interest in a group by asking a
question or two of the man in charge.
Long experience enables him at a
glance to distinguish between a grass
fed steer and a corn fed steer, to de-
eide whether an animal is entitled to
be classed as fancy" good" or "com-
mon" and to guess within few pounds
of an animals exact weight by glanc-
ing at him. The buyer makes his pur-
chases ION the hoof," paying the mar
ket price ruling for the day for the
grade in which it is decided each group
of cattle belongs. In few words the
transaction is completed, and the buy
ers interest in the affair is ended

wOrmth Saves Food.

a warm poultry-house in winter is
the cheapest, because shelter saves
food. The hen, like stove. consumes
fuel which creates heat, and until the
body is thoroughly warm the food will
not be diverted to reproduction. In
our dwelling-houses we conserve the
heat from the stove by the use Of
plastered walls, tight windows and
carpeted floors. If the cold air was
permitted to enter freely it would
cause an expense for an enormous
amount of coal. If we do not provide
warm quarters for the fowls we must
give them more food, and even then it
may be impossible to counteract the
effects of the cold air.-Farm and

PROBLEMS IN AGRICULTURE.
To BE Probably Solved They Need
Care and Thought as Well as
Mere Hand Work.

That there are deeper problems in
agriculture than the raising of crops
and stock and the marketing of the
same, with the occasional concrete ex-
ample of some legislative demand, our
more thoughtful farmers acknowl-
edge. The increase of education
along the. lines of production, all
things considered, has been marvellous.
1t gives us hope for the future solu-
ton of the deeper problem of mans

which he lives, and to those future
days when his influence, be it good OF
bad, shall yet work. The farmer real

ROTATION OF CROPS.
A Suitable Rotation, Faithfully Fol-
lowed, IL the Best Road to
@~ Success ON the Farm.

To be the most successful with our
farm work and crops, there should
be 4 suitable rotation adopted and
faithfully followed out. This is get
ting to be a necessity where corn and
other grain crops are largely raised,
as is the case more and more, especial
ly in the dairy portions of our coun-
try. ~
There needs to be more system and
uniformity in this business. A change
should be made from the practice
too much followed of .. taking up
pieces here and there all over the
farm for the plow.
There should be some well-definea
plan of what is wanted in the way OF
crops, and then divide the Land that
is to be devoted to the cultivated
crops and hay into sections in ac-
cordance with the size of the farm
It may be four, five or six years
course, as. circumstances seem to de-
mand. Usually corn and potatoes are
grown the first year: on sod groun I,
crops that require good cultivation;
the next Or second year to be fol-
lowed with a crop of grain and seeo-
ed to grass. This in turn to be de-
voted to hay for two, three or four
wears, in accordance with the size of
the farm.
Where much corn is raised, as is
the case on many. dairy farms, par
ticularly for fodder, the practice is
sometimes to plant corn two years in
succession on the same land, Or for
| a part of the crop. Personally. we
like the plan best of planting entirely
on sod ground, as it will be the freest
| from weeds, and there should be a
considerable amount of grass roots
and stubble to plow under for the
| benefit of the soil and crops. A we'll
cared for field of corn or potatoes is
! a good preparation for a crop OF
| grain to follow and the seeding tc
| grass. ~.z.>~
| In our prae etice on sod ground, no
manure is used with the corn, but 30o
or 200 pounds Of phosphate is put in
with the seed at planting.
In an average season, with go I'd
| cultivation, this insures a fine crop OF
fodder corn, suitable for the silo ~
for curing to feed dry. The second
year. manure is applied for crop
of oats and those of hay which are t.
follow. Usually have good success in
this way, with the grass seeding, as
we'll as with the crops or hay to
follow for three or four years be-
