HORSE TRADE DRAes.
Heavy Storm Has DulIed the Urgent
Outside Demand for All Glasses.


Chicago, March 81. - The heavy
snowstorm that extended over all the
western states Monday has dulled the
inquiry for heavy draft offerings. The
corps of eastern buyers is smaller than
last week and Indifferent competition
dulls the movement of big business
classes. The urgent spring demand is
later than normal in Undertaking. and
feeders of big drafters are making nc
profit on their enterprise. Last season
was phenomenal in many particulars
receipts and prices breaking all pre-
vious records and the current year has
been characterized by lower range OF
values; s170@190 measures the value
of the bulk of the draft offerings, with
s200@210 and upward bid for the
stabilized lots. Expressers were fairly
brisk at $130@170 and upward for
fancy grades. Farm chunks hold
steady at $10o@125 and upward, and
small southerners are firm at $500
115 and higher for extra quality Of
ferings. Drivers meet broader in
quiry from all quarters and are I'M
evenly higher at s16O@370 and up

most classes at the following prices:

will be not more tina six inches high.
A similar board is run down the CEN
ter, thus making a table at which two
can work. In the side pieces, about
three inches from the end that is open,
the front end, cut a hole eight inches
long. A basket Is set under this hole,
on the floor, and the cut tubers are
passed through the hole into the bas-
ket. This is done so that by a move
ment of the hand the cut pieces may
be dropped into the basket, rather thar
have the cutter reach over or around
to drop the pieces, which would be
necessary If the baskets were behind
him or at the sides. Tall baskets are
used generally. although the ordinary
peach basket will answer the purpose.
A shelf is placed at the top of the cut
ting bench at the back, on which knives
and any other tools needed in the work
may be kept. The idea is plainly shown
in the illustration. Indianapolis

WHEN EVENING BRINGS US
HOME.

When twilight shadows softly fall
Across the fading light,
And vesper bells in music call
The heralds of the night
o hour that breathes of peace and rest
To those who sadly roam,
Hour that is the dearest, sweetest, best
When evening brings US home! Il,
Forgot the trials of the day,
The toll, the grief, the care
All seem to fade at sunset ray,
The world grows bright and fair:
And yet the shadow deeper falls,
And weary wanderers roam
But through the gloom a loved voice calls
When evening brings us home.
And tagging feet quick onward press
To meet those at the door,
Where love in answering caress
Waits loyal evermore.
Most blessed hour of all the day
To those who toll and roam!
Love is, the star that lights our way
When evening brings us home.
And if it be that no one waits
In earthly homes to greet.
There is a home beyond the gates
Where all who love shall meet;
So may we say in truth Away
To those who sadly roam;
Each heart will find it's own some day,
When evening brings us home.

Winter Chickens.

Chickens can be Matched in the win
ter months and p%rottably raised. You
can hatch them from Sept. 1 until June
1. Other months are Improbable.
Chicks can endure cold weather better
than extreme heat. Disease, lice and
mites always come with summer
months. The expense Of feeding is no
greater III winter. Profits can be real
lied from broods Matched in November,
December and January. OF course, win
ter chicks do not grow quite so fast,
but they produce a heavier coat of
feathers. They grow more compact
and solid if Matched early in the win
ter, and will be just right for April and

To Prevent Ship. Rolling

A German engineer, Otto Won
Schlick, who has been studying for
many years the prevention Of ships
rolling, believes the solution lies In a
g%yroscope. Herr Schlick proposes to
steady ships by m~onnting the gyro-
scope in the hold, and his first expe-
riments on a large scale have been
undertaken with an old torpedo boat.
In this craft a gryoscope with a disc
weighing 1896 pounds was mounted
with a steam turbine which would, ro-
tate it at a speed of more than 1000
revolutions a minute. The oscillations
and pitching of the vessel were care.
fully measured before the steam was
admitted to the turbine, and then when
the turbine was put in revolution the
motion practically ceased. So success
full were these experiments with the
sxty-ton torpedo boat that 1t has been
decided to proceed with q larger craft.

Start the Pigs Right.

The man who starts off his pigs on
the corr ration about as soon as he can
after they are weaned is laying in Il
store Of trouble for himself later. There
is Il trouble known to swine raisers as
contracted stomach, which results from
an Improper ration. The animal is ap
parently off its feed" but the fact is.
the ration has been SO poorly balanced
that h stomach has not grown with
the growth of the rest of the body. If
the young pigs are to be allowed 4
range they will do more or less root
Ing, eating of soil and sod as this is
their nature, it will not hurt them, but
If they are placed where one does not
wish the sod uprooted, then the ami
mails must be ringed. If middlings
and Oilmeal are introduced with the
corn ration there will be considerably
less trouble. Some of the stock foods
on the market have their greatest value
to the swine raiser who does not feed
4 balanced ration and If these stock
foods can be obtained practically free
from drugs or condiments, they are
very valuable in such cases.

killing EARLY Weeds.

There are many different KINDS OF
weeds, and some of them start OH early
In the spring, almost before the frost
leaves the ground. 1t is the early
weeds that give the farmer the most
trouble. If the land was plowed last
fall. cross-plow it the coming spring,
nd then harrow or cultivate it as
often as can be done until time TO put
in the seed. Every time the land Is
cultivated more weeds will germinate
TO be killed. and the more weeds that
can he destroyed before the regular
cron start the fewer there Will be to

Warm and Cold Winters.

According to the director of the
weather bureau at the Missouri State
University, the time may not be far
distant when the United States wealth
err service can tell us at least six
months in advance whether the win
ter will be warm or cold. It has al
ready been determined, he says, that
there are great world eddies Of air
sweeping around the globe which it is
thought cause the difference in our
winters, and as soon as stations are
established everywhere so that the
progress Of these may be watched, the
bureau will likely be able to give in
formation by the last Of September

Good Word for Guincas.

UOOO ora LOT "uAhCdS.
The Guinea fowl may yet become a
very profitable branch OF farm poultry
raising. The scarcity Of certain kinds
Of game which resemble in flavor the
Guinea, especially the. Western prairie
chicken and grouse, has led to a sub
stitution Of young Guineas on hotel and
restaurant bills Of fare. Guineas Of
about the broiler age, weighing about
one pound and a half are of an ex-
ceedingly fine, gamy favor, and seem to
satisfy the In this way the
restaurants are able to dodge the game
laws in certain States and serve "prai-
RE chicken" on the bill Of fare at all
seasons. Gamehouses are paying high
prices for young Guineas, and it would
seem that large farms might be devot-
ed to them proitably wherever turkeys
and pheasants succeed.

Among this class the symptoms OF

What Lime Does for Land.

Farmers often say that they do not
need to use lime, because they use
large quantities of it in fertilizer.
Ground bon and other forms Of phos-
plate contain lime. We cannot obtain
phosphoric acid in ordinary fertilizers
without lime. Such farmers mistake
the most necessary function Of lime in
the soil. Air-slaked lime has a chem
ical action which sweetens the soil,
makes it more compact or sets free
other forms of plant food. This is quite
distinct from it's power to provide &C
tual food for the plants. The lime in
the bone or phosphate may in time
serve as plant food, but the air-slaked
lime is needed for the more important
service.

THE PIPE ORGAN RECITAL
The Playing of Walter Howe Jones
was OF a High Order and Was
Greatly Enjoyed.

Although not a large audience was
in attendance at the Presbyterian
church Friday evening for the pipe
organ recital by Walter Howe Jones,
OF Sioux Falls, yet this artist can
rest assured that his playing gave
the greatest satisfaction. Several of
the selections that MIR. Jones played
were beyond the range of the organ
and he was forced to rearraage them
on very short notice. His selections
displayed a wide range of work, and
from the opening prelude and fugue
to the dignifed aud imposing over-
ture Of William Tell his interpreta-
tion OF the old masters was richly
enjoyed. in his work on the organ
he shows tue skill OF AN artist, and
plays with a deep feeling of rever-
ence aud conception for the theme
OF his music. In the lighter vein
M r. Jones rendered An Evening
ReVerie, and the Intermezzo from
Cavaleitia Rusticana that were
played with beautiful technique.
lbe O%tfeftnile by Batiste permitted
some work for the pedals OF the or

work and the must: loving people
