the consignnents comprising finished
stabilized lots that sell at $225@275 and
upward The demand for fancy and
extra choice draft chunks of extreme
weight and finish is less urgent than
during the business boom of 1907 when
record prices were recorded. Good
drafters are steady at $175@215 and
fed lots clear at $225@275, with an oc-
casional animal reported of weight and
quality to command $3.50 @300. But in
1907 there were more draft sales re-

brisk demand at $150@350 and upward
bulk of sales being around $175@225.
Medium weight farm chunks are steady
at $13O@175 and all classes except

Turkish Feast in Which Open House
Is Very Literally the Order
of the Day.

Every year in Turkey, in the month
of Ramazan, as they term (which is
the month when the Koran was re-
vealed, in 26 parts, to Mohammed-it
was for years a general custom in Tur-
key for the Turks to open their houses
at - o'clock, the Turkish sunset time,
to strangers, and any enc was per-
mitted to enter and take supper, a
meal the Turks call oviftar, during
Ramazan.
No matter how poor or how rich the
persons, and whether a complete
stranger or near friend, they come just
before the sunset hour, and all are
seated at the truly hospitable table be-
fore II o'clock. Immediately after the
roar of the cannons announces sunset
the Turks eat either an olive or date,
1t being the legend that the holy
prophet did this, and those who smoke
may begin as soon as the date or
olive, supposed to be the fruits OF
paradise, disappears. Then come jel,
lies, as it is belief in Turkey that
sweets collect the Senses whatever
that may mean. Oddly enough, soups
follow the sweets, and then after that
eggs cooked in butter are served, fol
lowed in turn by mutton chops OF
roasted meat; these are succeeded by
vegetables, and the vegetables by a
sort of sugarless pudding, called beu
rex, and after this the famous baclava
or kadaif.
After all this more meat courses

and such sweets as rice milk, (gulla,

New Method Of Keeping Potatoes.

new meIHOQ OF NeePIn9 fotdtOeS.
A German publication, "The Prao
teal Adviser in Fruit Raising and Gar
dening," states that new method fol
keeping potatoes and preventing
sprouting consists in placing them on
layer of coke. DR.. Schiller of Bruins
wick, who has published the method
is of the opinion that the improved
ventilation by means of coke is moi
alone responsible for the result, but
believes that it is due to the oxidation
of the coke, which, however, is a very
slow one. Coke always contains sui
phur, and it is very possible that the
minute quantities of oxides of carbon
and sulphur, which result from the OK
idation, mixing with the air and pene
trating among the potatoes are sufH
cient to greatly retard sprouting. Pc
tatoes so treated are said to keep in
good condition until the following

HANDLING THE
BROOD SOW.

The man who gives proper attention
to the care of the brood SOW and her
filters and gets the young pigs started
right has solved one Of the great prob
lens connected with successful pork
production. The men who have made
the greatest success as breeders OF
pure bred swine have attained success
by attending to all of the details of the
business, and if it has proved profit
able for them to attend to the small
things connected with their business
why not for the man who is growing
market hogs?
My experience teaches me that the
easiest method Of making sure of saw
ing the filters is to begin by feeding
the brood SOW a proper diet for four
or five months before the pigs are far
rowed, says successful swine breed
er. They should be fed some form OF
warm slop that is composed of good.
wholesome muscle and bone build
ing foods, such as wheat middlings,
ground oats, oilmeal, roots and clover.
The man who gives his sows good, dry
sleeping places and feeds along the
above lines is invariably the man who
always has good luck in saving these
early filters.
Sows that are fed on corn and other
highly concentrated rations during this
time are quite certain to have more or
less difficulty at narrowing time, and
we need not wonder if they run after
their pigs and chase them up in one
corner of their pens or even turn upon
them and devour them.
1t is only by feeding the brood sows
under the right conditions that such
troubles can be avoided. The SOW that
has caked udder that is the result OF
being fed heat producing ration suf-
fers severe pain and cannot be blamed
for being restless and not lying still
for the little pigs to suck. How much
better to have our sows trained SO
that we could go in with them and
battle their udders with warm water
when they are sore and fevered!
We find that nothing pays us better
than to be on friendly terms with our
brood sows at narrowing time, and for
that reason it is best to remove them
to their narrowing pen at least two
weeks before they are due to farrow
This gives the feeder or herdsman
time to get acquainted with the sows,
and they have chance to get accus-
toned to their new quarters and quiet
ed down before narrowing time ar
riveS
The most severe losses in herd of
swine come at narrowing time, and a
large proportion of these losses are

A HUsTLING GRANGER.
L. H. HeaIey, Master Connecticut State
Grange.

L. n. HeaIey, Master Connecticut State
Grange.
L. H. Healey, the energetic master
of Connecticut state grange, is show
ing his capacity for work and his abil-
ity to fill his Office in most commend
able way. The grange in that state is
growing substantially under his man
agement. He is fluent and forceful
speaker and is in great demand among
the oranges of that state.
One Of the points driven home by
him is the fact that the grange is
a farmers organization and that the
lecturer owes it to members to bring
within their reach the best informa-
ton obtainable concerning work upon
the farm. Better methods of agricul-
ture are needed, and cases are too
rare in which farmers are receiving
what they should from their soil and
crops The cost of raising crops must
he reduced, says Master Healey, and
it should be one of the chief functions
Of the grange to help farmers in this
respect. Lecturers, If true to the pur-
poses of the grange, will not fail to
bring out the experiences Of their best
and most successful farmers on topics
relating to the farm, the household
and the home. Let the grange be the
center toward which all the best farm
ers and their families look for prac-
teal assistance in their work.
Connecticut has now something over
1900 members. State Master Healey
was instructed at the last state grange
meeting to appoint committee of ten
from each Pomona jurisdiction to as
sist to develop plans for more general
cooperation among the members of
the Order with regard to financial mat
tiers.

unnecessary ii the sows have good
narrowing houses and judgment is
used in caring for them during this
most critical period. Many pigs are
lost by accident at the time the SOW
is narrowing some by feeding the sow
too much soon after narrowing and
others from damp, filthy nests and
sudden changes in the weather. When
a man is on friendly terms with his
brood sows it viii pay him to be with
them at narrowing time and take the
young pigs as fast as they come and
place them in a nest or basket away
from the sow until she has completed
the narrowing act and then place them
with her and see that each pig finds a
teat and gets a good start in life be-
fore leaving. believe that an aver
age of two pigs to a litter can be
saved by taking these precautions.
One of the most difficult problems
that confront the hog grower is to
find way to prevent scours and indi-
gestion. believe that this complaint
comes largely from insanitary condi-
tons, and for that reason it will prove
an excellent plan to sprinkle the nests
and floors of the pens with lime and
spray the inside of the houses with a
mixture of one part crude carbolic
acid and fifty parts crude OIL There
are numerous commercial disinfectants
on the market, but this mixture is
very cheap and effective.
We prefer wheat middlings as a
grain food for our sows. although 9TH
er feeds should be fed in connection
with it. Bran, ground oats. corn in
limited quantities and tankage are all
good feeds and will bring results when
properly proportional. The feeder
must use his own judgment as to the
condition OF the SOW and the pigs.
No man can tell just how much care
and attention SOW and her pigs will
require. Constant attention alone will
decide the question.
Start the pigs right and push them
every day from birth to maturity On a
well balanced ration and they will
make rapid and uniform growth. A
uniform lot of pigs look better. feed
better and will sell better on any mar
ket in the country

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Some Facts About the Great HouIton
Grange of Maine.

Some Facts About the Great Houlton
Grange of Maine.
Houlton grange of Maine was organ
lied in April, 1864. with twenty-eight
charter members. It had uphill work
for several years. Four years later it
had only fifty-four members. In 1879
the question of giving up the charter
was seriously discussed, and the rec
ords Of one evening read something
like this. "Met according to appoint
ment Quorum present. No meeting
opened. Nothing said, nothing done,
nothing received" During the winter
of 1888 meetings were held at the
homes of the various members, and in
that year the grange became incor-
porated and built it's first grange hall.
When it celebrated its twentieth ami
versary it had only fifty members, but
from that time on it took new lease
of life, and now it has nearly 1000
members.
The grange now owns large hall.
built in 1898, which is SO by 60 feet,
two stories high, with lodge room on
the second floor and dining room and
kitchen on the ground floor. 1t also
owns a blacksmith shop, two large
stables and store and feed mill.
The present store, built in 1902, cost
about $1,000 1t is 80 by 80 feet and
one and one-half stories high. The
cost of running the store in 1903 was
about 5000. Six years ago the store
had no capital, but bought on credit
and was open only three days each
week. The stock on hand in 1908 was
less than $1,000 and the volume
business $4,000. The store was not
open six days week until 1904
Within the last six years the capital
has increased to $4,000 in stock, and
the store has turned over to the
grange treasury about $4,000. The
cost of running the store the last six
months was $1,SS0.80. The volume OF
business for the year ending Dec. 10,
1908, was $4,000.
The grange feed mill was built in
1907 1t is two story building 90 by
90 feet. The second story consists OF
storeroom and grain bins. The mill
proper is on the ground floor. 1t is
simply a feed mill run by electric pow
er from Aroostook falls There are a
twenty horsepower motor and TWEEN
ty inch attrition mill for grinding feed
with capacity of sixty bushels an
hour. The miller and electrician is
Guy c. Porter.
Although since 1898 the business OF
the grange has been so pressing that
1.-THE moral, intellectual and social adj
vancement of the American farmer
has been somewhat neglected, the
grange is still doing excellent work in
literary and social circles.

last summer by Skies Young on his
irrigated farm near North Yakima,
Wash. 1t was four feet long, three
feet through and weighed 1876 pounds
Statistics show that tuberculosis in
animals is on the increase. A recent
estimate, based on the meat inspection
and the records of the tuberculin test,
shows: Beef cattle affected, per cent;
hogs, 2 per cent; dairy cattle, 10 per
cent. The financial loss to stockmen
and dairymen because of this disease
is estimated to be fully $14,00OO00 per
annum.

The new elevators for unloading ear
corn from the wagon are no doubt
many leaps ahead of the scoop shovel,
but where the latter method is used
all the boxes should be supplied with
shoveling boards instead of ordinary
end gates.
The exports of agricultural products
in the fiscal year 1908 were valued at
$1017 100000, an amount greater than
for any year except 1907, the reduc-
ton of $37000,000 under that year be-
ing chiefly due to the falling OF In
value of cotton exports. The exported
cotton was valued at $438000, 600, the
grain and grain products at $215, 0G0,-
600 and the packing house products at
$196.0O0O00.

on the two sawhorses. The horses
can be made of 2 by and by 6 ma
terial and should not be too heavy, as
it makes hard carrying. Most per
sons will be surprised how much easier
it is to husk shocked fodder this way.
An armful of stalks can be laid across
the sawhorse. and the ears will hang
down, and one can husk nearly as fast
as if he were husking standing corn
1t is of course expected that the wag-
on be driven along so as to be right
at hand for tossing in the corn as fast
as it is husked AS soon as one arm
full is husked out it can be thrown
back and another placed on the horses,

can be husked out and with less effort
