The best temperature for fattening
any animal is when the thermometer
ranges from 55 to 20 degrees, or is out

there is not as much of the food re-

The accurate value of wool cannot
be ascertained unless it be sorted and
secured. Then and then only is 1t re-
duced by mechanical and mathemat-
ical process to basis Of exact value.
There is no waste in sorting and scour-
ing wool; it Is all worked into its prop
err place, each sort or grade found in
each fleece is sold separately upon its
merit, and the best wool brings the
highest price. This is one reason why
the mill buyer prefers buying his wool
already sorted and secured. He then
knows just what he is getting without
any doubt as to shrinkage and develop
ment. He can buy his wool on the
same basis and with the same conf
dence that the weaver buys his yarn or
the tailor his cloth.

The live stock shippers Of the coun-
try have reason to expect better rail-
road service as methods of transporter
ton improve. but for several years
progress has been in the other direc-
ton. Vexatious delays of live stock
trains have cost the shippers an enor-
nous amount of money in the past
three years. Live stock is perishable
product. 1t must be moved with rea-
sonable celebrity or loss will result. Yet
many shipper has had to see his
stock suffering and shrinking oil sid
ing while trains loaded with nonper
ishable products steamed past. That
transportation companies are meeting
with great difficulty in handling their
enormous business with dispatch is
evident, but that they are fully awake
to the Importance of prompt movement
Of live stock is doubtful.

/ Some years ago james a.. Belknap, a
prominent citizen of Yates county,
N. Y, bought seven Merino ewes from
a Vermont dealer for $500. From one
of these ewes, buck lamb was produc-
cd which at one years growth sheared
fifty-three pounds, and the same year
d fleece was taken from him weighing
twelve pounds. The second year the
animal weighed eighty pounds, and a
fleece was sheared from him Weighing
eighteen pounds. The third year the
animal weighed 1914 pounds, and he
sheared thirty pounds. The wool was
fully two and half inches long and
was very white and fine. At each time
he was sheared by the same man, Mr..
Loren Thomas, at three successive
sheep shearing contests on the grounds
of the Yates County Agricultural So
ciety at Penn Yam, and the buck re-
ferred to surpassed all other sheep Of

The Corn Trade Year Book" just
published in London, estimates that in
consequence Of the unfavorable sum
Iner of 1903 only 100000 quarters of
British wheat will reach the mills,
making it necessary to import 27,000,-
600 quarters OF foreign and colonial
wheat. Ten years ago Britain took 20
per cent of her grain from the United
States. In 1908 she took only about 40
per cent, Argentina and Russia taking
the place of the United States.

Getting RID OF plant Lice.

To kill plant lice on trees dissolve
one pound of whale oil soap in eight
to ten gallons of water This can be
sprayed without inJuring the foliage.
Care should be taken that it reaches
the insects, otherwise it will not affect
them The spray is one that kills by
contact and must therefore reach the
bodies Of the insects direct. A pound
of tobacco dust, the stems stepped and
boiled in water for one hour and di-
luted with four gallons of water, will
also destroy plant lice.
