Murphy & CO... Cotton Letter.

New York, May 16.-The market for
cotton had an ugly look early in the
morning, due in a measure to the coal
strike and a number of other bearish
features, such as generous rains where
needed and a number of splendid crop
reports from the South. The market
declined SOLO points in the first half
hour, when a more conservative tenn
per was displayed. Receipts were quite
liberal and the movement for the week
was so near expectations as to have
no influence on the market. Stop or
ders in many quarters, especially from
Wall street helped the lower tendency,
and the underlying tone was weak. es-
pecially as manipulatOrs were talking
one way and acting contrary in an ut
tempt to shape the course of prices.
Some fear was expressed of too much
rain, causing grass in some sections.
The weekly Liverpool report was IN
some respects bearish and some re-
spects bullish. The "all kinds" de-
creased for the week $4,000 bales. but
are still 100000 ahead of last year,
while the American lost $4,000 and is
still 80, 500 ahead of last year. The
afloat stock gained 5000, and is now
5000 less than last year, while the
American gained 1000, and is $1,000 less
than last year. Some Texas accounts
were that although crop conditions are
quite fine, generous rains will be need
ed for the balance of the season, and
that these must be we'll distributed.
I'm sight for the week, so, 900 bales,
against $4,000 last year. Estimates for
tomorrow: New Orleans, 900 to 1900
bales, against 1852 last year; Houston,

The Dairy Pasture.

The director of the Iowa Experiment
Station says: The problem as our
lands become more valuable will be
not how to do with less grass, but
how to get more of it. Pasture lands
may become worn out, or what is
more properly termed, run OUT" quite
as readily and completely as till7bie
lands. No part of the farm will yield
better returns for careful attention
and good treatment than the pasture.
Some simple experiments conducted in
the Iowa college farm pastures have
furnished striking results in favor OF
pasture culture. The application of
ten quarts of clover seed per acre,
disced and narrowed into blue grass
pasture in the early spring, increased
the yield IS per cent over pastures i'm
mediately adjoining that received no
treatment. Pasture lands thus treated
produce heavier, denser growth, and
better variety Of grasses, and stand
drouth better and the Improvement OK
tends over several seasons. This treat
ment should be alternated with top
dressing applied preferably during the
fall or winter. followed with the har-
row in the spring. The best pastures
ale those that are never disturbed by
The pillow.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1902-04-18


However good the pastures may be,
there are times when they must be
supplemented with forage crops and
grain rations to maintain the dairy
herd in good flow of milky and the
poorer the pastures the greater the
necessity. The earliest of the green
forage crops is rye, and it affords a
generous supply of good feed although
it comes at time when the feed sup
ply is usually quite sufficient for the
time being. The use Of rye in the early
spring makes it possible to hold in
reserve larger surplus of feed .or
midsummer. 1t can lie sown in the
corn fields after the last blowing, and
in most seasons it will afford a good
supply of green feed after the corn
crop has been secured in the iall. This
practice tends to eradicate weeds and
renovate the soil. First among the
soiling crops for midsummer and early
autumn, would place sorghum. its
hardness, vigor and growth, abundant
yield and adaptation to our soil, place
it among the most reliable and profit
able crops of the farm, regardless OF
drouth or other abnormal climatic
conditions. Any part of the crop not
needed for summer feeding in the
green state can be cured in the form
of excellent winter fodder.-C. +.

warming tile Cow Stables
The Irish Homestead comments on
the warming of cow stables as follows:
At a meeting of the Veterinary Med
zeal Association, Mr.. Pottie. who read
a paper on How to Make the Most
of Mich Cow in Winter" laid great
stress on keeping the byre comfortable
and especially in regard to tempera.
ture. He has tried experiments on
the point and found that a tempera-
ture of GO deg. F. was the proper one.
When the temperature was raised to
81 deg. F. the supply of milk began to
decline. He also discovered that it did
not take long to decrease the yield OF
milk by lowering the temperature, but
it took far longer time to restore the
lost quantity by raising the tempera-
ture again. Mr.. Pottie recommends in
cold weather to stop the doors and ven.
tilators, and thus raise the tempera-
ture from the animal heat. TO my
mind this system may do we'll for a
time, but we fear the health OF the
animals would ultimately suffer from
breathing air charged with carbonic
acid gas. Although more costly, we
should prefer artificially heating the
byres during very cold weather to try
ing the experiment CT doing it with
foul air. On the other hand, in time o.
cold or stormy weather, there would DE
no need for keeping doors, windows or
ventilators as widely open as in times
of calm or heat

Keep Up the Milk Flow.

A well-known writer on dairy sub
jects, says: Careful breeding and in
herited excellence may be set at
naught by insufficient or unsuitable
feed, even for brief period. The sue
cessful dairyman will carefully provide
in advance for the feed supply during
every month Of the entire year. Too
frequent provision is made only for the
winter months. The severest test
sometimes comes in midsummer rather
than in midwinter, when the tendency
appears to be to trust to chance and

The causes for soft shelled eggs may
be various Among them we may men
ton the lack of shell-forming materia

to secrete shell material. or it's inabil

properly formed around it. The feed.
ing of foods deficient in lime may be
and probably is the principal, cause o.
the deficiency. In state Of nature
fowls lay fewer eggs than they do
when brought under the care of man
Moreover, they have in a wild state
access to so many different kinds of
food that they are sure to get enough

Under artificial conditions it seems to
be quite necessary for man to supply
