Marketind Lambs.

In my experience of ten years l Ind
that from the first of July to the mid
die of August is the best and most
profitable time for marketing lambs,
everything considered. Sell them at
the age of four or five months. The
price is from six to seven cents a
pound. This is money made quickly
and with but little risk The ewes are
left in a better condition than when
the lambs are sold later. Some think
that earlier lambs pay better, but l
do not. From the first of April to the
middle is the best time for them to
come. Then one soon has grass and
warm weather, and the lambs Will
thrive and be as large as those two
months older. Do not dock them.
Give them the best care. If sold older,
they, will, of course, be larger, but
the price will be less, and tnen tnere
is the risk of dogs, wolves and disease.
One more objection to early lambs is
the ticks. They do not do well on this
account, and it is too cold TO olp
tbem.-The Farmers Guide.

WiIted Hay Best.

Redtop and alsike I consider more
profitable than timothy for any kind
of stock. Timothy hay l find a poor
feed as compared to other kinds men
toned. 1 prefer to cut mixed redtoD
hay when the seed has been perfectly
formed.
I like to have hay thoroughly wilted,
but with no water left on it, about as
we used to think it would be when half
cured. For clover hay I have not yet
come to a conclusion to my own salts
faction just how it should be dried.
The modern method Of merely whiting
che hay is much superior to the old
plan of drying the life out Of 1t. Where
practicable it certainly is better to
use canvas hay caps over the tumbles'
These caps should not rest closely on
the hay but should be lifted sufficient
ly for air circulation.-L A. Newell, IN

Helpino Chicks Out of Shells.

wish to tell the readers of the Ag-
ricultural Epitomist how l help out
the chicks that cannot get out of the
shell owing to the tough coating over
the head. The remedy is very simply.
Have small bottle of olive Oil, pour
a drop or two on the opening. Spread
the oil around the shell with the m
ger: tenderly remove a little OF the
shell and so on until the she'll is on
over the chicks head. Now, remove
the coating of the chicks head, pour
in a few drops of oil around the cav
tty between the chick and the shell,
put the chick under the hen twelve
hours, and he will be as spry and ac-
tive as those that got out CT the smell
themselves. If you take the chick out
of the shell without using oil you break
an artey and it bleeds to death; the
OF! IS a tonic. l have no experience IN
using an incubator, but having used
this simple remedy for years under
hens with the rest results am of the
opinion that the hatch would be great
" increased in incubators.-E. h.

will agree that too many whips have
been, and are still used.
The following is the article:
"A dealer in whips says there Is
great change as to the number OF
whips that are now sold to drivers In
proportion to the number Of people.
Il should think not half so many
are used as were used, say, twenty-five
years ago. Many owners Of horses
now never carry whip. know men
in this country who always have horses
and who never strike them. Many peo-
pie hold that If a horse is properly
reaed from colthood up it will never
need a whip. What are called the bad
traits Of a horse are usually the fault
of the people who have handled them.
Some bad traits are hereditary, but
they trace back to bad management
of the ancestry. The more good sense
a man has, the less punishment his
team will need. 1t is practically all
a matter of good common sense"

HEAVY BREAK IN COTTON.

Sensational Decline Wherein October
Option Sod Under Eiever Cents. &
A sensational decline in the price
of cotton took place amid excited trad-
ing on the New York cotton exchange
Monday afternoon. AS a result the.
October option sold under II cents
pound for the first time since last
June, when prices, were advanced On a
bad crop report. Declines in the trad.
ing late in the afternoon reached 50
to 55 points, or about $3.50 below the
closing prices of Saturday night and
$3.50 a bale below the high Septem-
Der. The leading factor IN the decline
was heavy speculative liquidation sell
ing in apprehension of weaker mar;
kets for spot cotton in the south. The
market was very active and traders
were greatly excited during the de-.
cline. AT the lowest the October op-
ton sold at 1897 and January at
lila. At the close October rallied to
11.02 and January 11.25 and the mar
ket steadied. Sales were estimated at
100000 bales.

Whips for Horses.

The Maine Farmer recently contain
ed an item about the use of whips,
which is very good cn the whole, yet
it is also true that there are cases
where whip is necessary. For exam
pie years ago friend told us
of man who went to q
mill with a team of spirited
horses for which he needed no whip.
While at the mill the team became
frightened and began to back. If he
had had good whip and given them
a sharp cut with it they would have
started the other way, they might
have run away and broken up the
wagon; but that would have been bet
ter than to end as it did, for they
backed into the mill pond and were
both drowned. Again there are some
very lazy horses which need a whip to
get aay travel out Of them. Still we

STEAMER KILLS BIG WHALE.
Tried to Dive but was Caught In
Propeller.

Passengers on the steamship Admir-
al Sampson, which arrived recently at
Boston from Jamaica, witnessed an
unusual spectacle when the fruiter
rammed a monster whale and nearly
cut it in two. Capt. Hershaw stated
he never saw so many whales as he
passed along the coast yesterday. His
story of striking the whale is as fol-
lows:
at was 9.35 a. N. The sea was as
smooth as glass. and scores of whales
were spouting about. Suddenly there
arose on the port bow a mammoth
whale. When it saw the steamer so
close it attempted to dive, but the
bilge keel evidently struck and
stunned it so that it was powerless
to get away.
"The suction held the mammal to
the vessel, and it passed completely
over it. The port propeller tore great
hole in it's back, and in its death
throes it lashed the water into a GRIM
son foam. Its tail struck the rail
with great force, nearly knocking over
one of the negro deck boys.
For several minutes after the
whale passed astern it continued to
lash the water. 1t lifted itself partly
out of the water and the great hole in
its back was visible for an instant.
The surface of the water was covered
with blood for a great area.
"Gradually the whale quieted, ard
within few minutes its carcass was
floating with the tide"
One of the passengers said that the
other whales seemed to understand
that something had happened, for they
started off toward the east.

Worse. Crime Suspected.

At Union Sunday morning, between
3 and o'clock, the home Of Isabella
Gist was completely DESTROYED by fire,
and she and her. 11-year-old niece were
burned to death.
The house was situated near the
corporate limits on the road to West
Springs. The fact that the burning
was done so quietly and mysteriously
as to fail to attract the attention OF
any one until the building was ready
to fall in, and also because the bones
of the woman and girl were found
beneath the bed springs, instead OF
on top of them has caused consider
able talk to the effect that the. woman
and child may have been killed and
the fire allowed to hide the crime. A
young negro is under arrest en- sus-
picion.

Farminq a Profitable BuSiness.

That farming is really learned pro-
fession, one which requires good ma
tural ability and that ability we'll edu-
Gated, is shown by the following from
the Century:
"The character of farming is chang
ing rapidly. 1t is coming more AID
more to be an efficient, profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception, in the past we have
not given much conservative thought
to the business-nothing like as much
as the merchant gives to his business
or the doctor to his. 1t has been so
"easy' a business that unframed men
could succeed in it. The change In
economic and social conditions is
breaking up the tradition, and the old
methods must go. In the future only
the we'll Informed and ef1cient-think-
ing men can succeed; that is, only the

Deep. Cultivation of Corn.

While some still persist in plowinlg
corn deep from start to finish, no
matter what the season may be, and
have no patience with any other
method, those who study experiment
station reports, know that shallow cul-
ture, after the roots have spread be-
tween the rows, almost invariably
gives better results than deep cultiVa-
ton, which breaks the fibrous roots
and leaves them hanging In punches on
the cultivator shanks. I am satisfied
that in dry weather corn may be IN
jured to the extent of several bushels
per acre by plowtng too deep and too
close to the plants when laying by.
I have damaged the crop this way my
self, as shown by adjoining acres work
ed in more intelligent manner. In
wet season, however, root pruning is
not so injurious, and weed growth dur
ing the time that cultivation is de-
layed by wet weather may render
deep blowing and some ridging OF the
ground necessary in order to get ahead
of the weeds.
1t is nearly always the front shov-
els that do the main damage by tear
ing the roots, and In no case do / let
them run deep at the last working, but
throw the points we'll forward, so they
will cut to their full width with the
points not more than two inches below
the surface. 1 depend largely upon
the rear shovels at the last working,
running them deeper than the front
ones and turning them so they will
throw the soil slightly toward the row.;
then set the gage we'll apart and keep
away from the plants. The shoyels
should be sharp-pointed, to make a
clean cut and penetrate husks, etc.,
readily, but long, narrow, needle points
1 dislike; for unless. set fat to do the
best work on top, the extra inch or
two of the point only increases draft
and root pruning uselessly, and should
be avoided, particularly in dry wealth
er. The time to go to the bottom OF
things in the corn field is when the
ground is being fitted for the crop, and
if necessary, at the first plowlng, be-
fore the roots spread too much.-F.
D. Coburn, in the Progressive Farmer.

"You were right, lieutenant-tEere
is." another voice said hurriedly. "Get
the men to their stations-and make
no noise.'
Capt. Rockhill realized that in a
few minutes more an alarm would be
sounded, and the whole feet know that
a blockade runner or confederate
cruiser was trying to slip through the
Gordon. He touched his chief officer
on the shoulder.
Get the long boat over, as quick
as you can, and without a sound ne
whispered. There was not the slight
est splash to announce when this had
been done.
Get that dog that followed me on
beard the other day." was Capt. Rock
hills next command. Put him in the
beat, with a fresh beef bone, and cut
the boat loose"
Three minutes later this had been
done. The dog had been carefully muz-
zled when the Laughing Lass slipped
her cable, but now the muzzle was re-
moved, and he was left gnawing con-
tentedly upon the bone. The breeze,
though still light, was now steady, and
the schooner was gliding silently for
ward at rate of perhaps three knots
an hour. From the slight sounds
heard the man-of-war was now evil
dently astern, little on the port.
Load with grape-double charges"
was order distinctly audible, followed
by the sound of gunners working
about their artillery.
The dog, which had been cut adrift
in the longboat and which was now
several hundred yards astern, had, as
Capt. Rockhill expected, been gnaW-
ing contentedly upon his bone for sew
eral minutes before he realized that he
was alone. Then the loneliness of
the fog-shrouded waters struck into
his heart, and he howled mournfu.ly,
again and again.
They are right alongside! Ship
ahoy! Heave to or we will sink you!'
an officer On the guardship shouted.
The only reply was the delighted
yelping of the dog at the sound of
human voice.
Answer or we fire." was the next
shout. The next instant there was
the roar of a gun, and flash OF Hame
glimmered family in the fog. Anoth-
er and another gun crashed, all the
shots being directed toward the sound
of the dogs howls, far to the stern
of the Laughing Lass.
From the next ,guardship a rocket
sped upward, then from the next and
the next, and then the sea was faint
ly Illuminated by light being burned
by the ship which the schooner had
so narrowly missed. The light must
have disclosed to them the longboat,
empty save for dog, for the firing
ceased. Instead there came the sound
of her engines as she got under: way.
The wind was now blowing stlffiy.
and every sail aboard the Laughing
Lass was drawing as she sped away
toward the open sea. When the gray
dawn broke and the fog had been dis
sipated by the rising sun not even
trail of smoke was to be seen upon the
horizon. The blockade runner had
slipped safely through.-New York
