one bushei Of wheat to more than 200

Rochester was once known as the
flour city" Now it is called the
flower city" But New York still
raises as much wheat as Wisconsin.
Maryland produces more than either,
Texas nearly twice as much and Penn
sylvania three times as much. Only
eight States surpass Pennsylvania in
wheat raising.
Kansas produces nearly as much
wheat as both the Dakotas, which are
much more often mentioned as wheat
States.
Only trife more than half of the
wheat crop grows west of the Missis-
sippi. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio still
produce S0,0OO,OOO bushels, which is
more than any far Western State, and
over one-eighth Of the whole crop.
Little Delaware raises more wheat
than all New England. Virginia, West

SAGE DROVE BARGAIN
IN LOAD OF HAY
The Economical Millionaire Mads
Neighbor Pay For Ride in Work
Of Hired Man.

Russell Sage has not squandered very
much on clothes and personal luxuries
during his long life, still he has spent
some pretty large sums on horses, his
love of which has amounted almost to
a passion Some time ago he paid $10,.
0aD for a team of trotters for use at
his country place on Long Island, and
the first time he was to drive them he
asked Frank Tilford, who was a neigh.
Dor of his, to so with him. How Uncle
Russell made the rotund Tiiford pay
for his outing Is still told with great
glee throughout the countryside.
After driving a little way team was
seen approaching drawing load of
salt hay out from the meadows along
the shore. Immediately said Sage:
II am paying too much money for
bedding for my horses. Now Wen see
what this man wants for his load Of
hay
So the stranger was stopped and the
aged flnancier began negotiations.
What do you want for that load of
hayY'
give dollars" was the reply.
give dollarsg' said Sage, why it is
not worth cent more than three. It
does not cost you anything; all you
have to do is to cut it.
"WeIl," replied the farmer, sit takes
good half days work ard the use of
my horses and wagon"
But Sage would not pay IS, SO a com.
promise was made on 81 for the load
delivered.
Where shall Leave ity' said the
farmer.
"At Frank Tilford's," said Uncle Rus
sell, and turning to Tilford, as they
drove on, he said:
"You see, Frank, if be knew that
hay was for Russell Sage he would
not let it go for less than 81. And by
the way, when he leaves it at your
place, just let your man bring it over
to my barn.

FARM TOPICS. |
MUTTON cHops.

Sheep fed highly on corn often shed
their fieeces in winter.
The best results in wool growing are
had by feeding a mixture of wheat
bran four parts, Iinseed meal one part
and oats one part
This mixture is always safe for ewes
and lambs.
Timothy hay is the curse of sheep
Don't feed it if possible to avoid it.
When clover hay is fed. one quart a
day Of the mixture is liberal ration
for ewes, and half Of this quantity for
lambs.
Red top is excellent for sheep, but IT
must not be too dry or woody. This
grass if not too rank will make hay
uext best to clover or alfalfa.
0verripe hay, while it lacks in food
substances, is also injurious to sheep,
because so much of it is thus made
indigestible, which often results in
stretches, constipation and death.
This explains why sheep are often
found dead without any known cause.
Cornstalks are wasteful for sheep,
as they only eat the leaves from the
stalks. The leaves are very good for
them, however, and the best thing
possible for young lambs.
Every man who owns billy farm
should find profit in sheep.

FOWLS FOR MARKET.

While the main consideration to the
consumer is that the fowl should be
reasonably plump and properly picked.
the large city merchants demand Ger
tain things in the way of packing
which the poultry raiser must carry
out If he would be successful in such
markets. One of the things is that the
fowls be shaped" before they are
packed, and while this process makes
form that is not particularly pleas
ing, it is, perhaps, better than the
mlsshapen fowls which would result
il they were placed in boxes or barrels
without any sign of packing. To make
a shaper, first build frame and then
in this frame construct two troughs,
each ten feet long. These troughs are
constructed by mailing together two
boards, seyen-eighths of an inch thick
and six inches wide, at right angles

COMMENTS ON FERTILIZERS.

An experiment with fertilizers is
often more instructive when practiced
on the farm than at the experiment
stations. Five dollars expended on a
small plot of ground in the use Of fertil.
izers on selected crops or plants will
enable the farmer to learn facts that
will save him hundreds of dollars, as
we'll as largely increase his yields. The
only way to break off old practices and
improve without incurring risk is to
experiment. In the use of potash salts
on corn, experiments show that to pro
duce an extra bushel of grain the cost
is nineteen cents, with a corresponding
increase in the fodder. AS much as
thirty bushels increase per acre has
been secured when sulphate or murlate
of potash was used. 1t is not difficult
to secure ten bushels Of grain and 110C
pounds of fodder increase per acre
while the soil will be left in better con
dition than before by the use of pot
ash There is always large proper
ton of nitrogen in barn yard manure.
but the materials of the manure may
not be Immediately soluble, which rem
ders the nitrogen unavailable until late
in the season, should the manure be
applied to the soil for early crops. For
this reason fertilizer rich in nitrogen
should be used in connection with the
manure, such as nitrate Of soda OF
suIphide Of ammonia, which may be
applied to the soil when the manure
is spread.-Lina G. Alcutt, in The
Epitomist.
