water steadily receded from the mum

that the situation around Kansas City

expected to follow along the Missouri

Stock Yards Still Inundated.
in the stock yards the water was

Two Cent Postage to England.
COMMERCIAL
stee, Bars Down to 81.


The Carnegie Steel company, one Of
the branches Of the steel trust, has
been forced to follow the independent
producers In cut Of the price Of steel
bars to 81 despite the efforts of the
trust to keep prices up. A cut in struc-
tural steel at once followed from $1.7O
to $1.50 a ton. This, coming on the
heels of the recent cut In pig iron, ii
expected to greatly stimulate orders
from builders and contribute to the for
ward movement of business.
The Failures ln May.
According to the report published by
Dun's review, the commercial failures
in May were 1879 In number and $751;
643,3S1 in liabilities. This Is the small
est amount of defaulted Indebtedness
since last July and is therefore regard
ed as most encouraging sign. 1t Is
still somewhat larger than the failures
of May last year. The large decrease
of 100000 since Aprll and as COM
pared with January and February slE'
dictate that the effects Of the panic are
wearing off.
Immense Rail Contract.
at Pittsburg the announcement was
made that the steel trust had about
closed a deal with the Russian goy.ern,

years to fiji the order.

French Aerop!aHist TO Front.
Leon Delagrange, the French student
Of aernnautics, has come to the front
with new record In mechanical flight
just as the American Wright brothers
had taken the lead In their tests Mt
Kill Devil hill and had decided to take
the public into their confidence. Della.
grange in public trial over the mill
tary t,e.d at Rame, Italy, navigated his
aeroplane over nine circuits Of the field,
distance of almost ten miles, In the
time of fifteen minutes and thirty sec
onds, when the gasoline in his ma
chine was nearly exhausted. 1t was
shown in other trials that the Dela-
| grange machine would not operate In
a strong wind. Once it fell to the
earth.
While the W'rights have no public or
Witnessed records of flight to compare
with this, they assert that they have
! tripled the distance covered by the
Frenchman. In making public the main
features of their gliding aeroplane the

eat just now, but more than this, you
should be careful not to allow your

MONEY IN HENS.

Prof c. K Graham, of the Con-
necticut Agricultural College. has been
conducting experiments to see wheth-
err poultry pays" One was tried
with White Leghorns From ninety
one pullets, 742 dozen eggs were
gathered in one year. The sales from
these eggs amounted to s16446. The
cost Of feed was $500, or sixty-two
cents for each hen, This leayes'a net
profit of S10S.16, or s1.1S 5-6 for
each hen, Another breed, Rhode
Island Reds, while not quite so high
in their returns, show a good profit.
The feed for the Reds cost S21.SS.
The sales amounted to 1914. This
leaves a net profit of 1921, or nine
ty-eight cents for each hen, The
hens in this lot averaged seventy
nine eggs each. .i,. ID

RATIoNs FOR LAMBs.

One OF the best practical farmers
In New York says that the best ration
for young lambs has not yet been
found out. but one Of which lambs
are very fond Is composed Of equal
parts Of corn and oatmeal, linseed
meal and wheat bran. This VIII
probably be considered BY many a
rich feed; II SO, they can reduce the
corn and linseed meal, and SO make
less fattening food He prefers the
corn and oats ground for young
lambs, to whole grain. After they
become large, and for grown sheep
whole grain is preferred for hisfeed-
ing, as the sheep grind their grain
very effectually themselves, thus saw
ing the trouble of getting It ground.

TOO MANY INFERIOR cows.

According to a recent COW census
taken by one of the dairy papers.
there are some poor COWS left even IN
an old dairy section like central New
England. A Massachusetts report
shows herds in which half the cows
are kept at loss when the feed q
reckoned at a fair value, Only one
man In the whole list of ten farmers
kept his COWS at a fair profit One
reason why the others were doing no
better is found In the statement that
none of them were reading the dairy
and agricultural papers. All over tho
county the results are OF much the
same general character, showing that
most of the improbable herds are
kept by those who are not making a
careful study Of the business--Ameri-

weekly weights Of the cows and by
direct observation.
The cows were turned to pasture at
the close of the winter period, May IL,
and the grain feed reduced; silage or
hay were fed after that date last year.
At the time the pastures began to dry
up they were supplemented by green
corn fed in the barn and later on by
corn silage. Similar quantities of
soiling crops were fed as of silage,
viz, 20 to 80 pounds per head daily,
on the average; more or less grain be-
ing fed through the summer in the
case of nearly all the cows.
The accompanying table contains a
list Of the COWS which completed a
years record on May IL, 1908, and
shows for each cow the live weight,
the cost of the feed, the milk and but
ter fat produced, the value Of the prod
ucts, and the net profit owe and above
the cost of the feed eaten. The cows
are arranged in the table in the Or
der of decreasing net profits for the
year.
The following schedule of prices has
been used in calculating the cost of
the feeds fed and in determining the
value Of the products. The prices of
feeds given may be considered yer
age market prices for Wisconsin, and
are in accord with the prices assumed

others at times in smaller quantities.
The standard grain mixture fed dur
ing the past year was made up of
wheat bran, corn meal and distillers'
grains, in the proportion of SAB, the
nutritive ratio of the mixture being
Las. The general practice followed
was to feed as many pounds of grain
daily per COW as she produced pounds
Of butter fat during the week, i. e.
seven times as much grain as the
amount of fat produced daily (or one
quarter to one-third as much grain as

The nutritive ratios of the entire

to the production of the cows and the
