LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Be careful never to overfeed a calf.
Any calf should be fed whole milk
for at least two weeks after birth.
Two factors must be considered in
Judging sheep, the growth Of WOO! and
development Of mutton.
More harm Is done by overlooking
calves with milk, especially skim
milk, than by undertaking.
BY careful selection and judicious
mating the Shropshire has been
brought to the leading position it now
occupies.
Pigs fed for bacon should be fed to
the weight preferred by the packer.
which can always be learned on ap-
plication.
The silo enables the farmer to keep
more live stock, which promotes the
rotation Of crops and the preservation
of soil fertility.
The windows Of horse stable
should be so arranged that the horses
are not required to stand for hours
with the full glare Of the sunlight in
their eyes.
NO dennlte rule can be given as to
when a calf should be weaned. but
as a general proposition 1t is a good
plan to feed skim milk till it is six
months old.
Possibly there is no other farm ami

you take him.

these wingless insects build In many
localities little mud chimneys, like
those In the accompanying picture.
These are sometimes erected six or
eight inches above the surface of the
ground. and they are built Of soft pei
let's Of clay brought tip from below and
pressed firmly into place. Just why
the insect resorts to this peculiar
architecture is still mystery Of sci
ence. Either from these chimneys or
from the fiat surface on the ground
the cicadas will all be ready, shortly
to emerge and take their first peep at
the sunlit scenes from which they hid
themselves back in 1894 or-if Of the
southern brood-in 1898.
The exact date of emergence from
the ground will be later in the north
than In the south. In high cold areas
1t will appear later than in warm
regions Of less elevation. But over
the great bulk Of the territory in
vOlved the date Of emergence will be
during the last week In May, although
in some parts of the far south they
will appear perhaps week earlier.
II you wish to behold one of the
most remarkable phenomena of nature
visit some orchard or wooded area
where the northern cicadas we're plen-
tiful in 1894, or where the southern
brood was abundant In 1898. Here
Just at sunset during each evening OF
the week indicated institute a close
watch over a patch Of open soil.
Just after sunset you will see scores
OF the brown wingless insects emerge
from their holes with a rush and
scramble for the nearest tree. bush
weed. pole, stump or fence. II you
have selected a particularly favored
locality the ground at your feet will
be literally alive with and hidden BY
the running insects. BY nine O'CLOCK
the bulk of the army will have come
out of the ground. each fastening him
self to some selected object, prefer
ably a leaf or twig. Then within
about an hour after settling. each will
be seen by your lantern light neatl.

Growing Currants,

Currants may be most relied on of
any small fruit for crop, If kept free
from the currant worm. Early appli-
cation OF hellebore powder will de-
stroy this pest, and good crop is al
most sure to follow, remaining on the
punches from two to three weeks,
they give better opportunity to mar
ket than most berries and generally
bring good price.

Weeds on Farms.

One reason why many farmers do
not get rid of weeds on their farms
is because they try to cultivate too
much land. To keep weeds down
crops must be cultivated all the time,
and II there is more land than can be
covered as often as needs be the
weeds will get the better of one every
time

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June THE strong and con-
hdent tone of the stock market today
seemed TO Indicate that the misgivings
%hlch We're felt so recently had given
way to more hopeful view. The acute
weakness of yesterday disappeared and
the recovery was carried forward stead
lly The announced plans for feadiust-
ment of the finances of the Hill railroads
was perhaps the most powerful factor in
improving sentiment. A better compre-
hensiOn of the significance of the Ameri-
can Tobacco decision and some indica-
tons of improved conditions in the steel
trade also eXerted favorable influence on
the market.
That the management of the Hill roads
should have selected the present time
for announcement of such huge finan-
ciai transaction was accepted immediate
ly as a manifestation of confidence that
the present situation at the bottom was
sound. II also was pointed out that such
transaction, leading to closer union
of the Great Northern and Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy might have been
undertaken less readily before the rem
dition of the Standard Oil and American
Tobacco decision gave more definite
idea of the way in which the sherman
law was to be construed. Great North
ern preferred advanced points and
Northern Pacific almost as much making
new high records for the year Chicago,
Burlington Quincy joint per cent.
bonds advanced from " to nearly par, IN
anticipation Of their possible retirement
through a new issue secured by the $780,
100000 mortgage
The American Tobacco decision was
viewed in more favorable light in the Ii
nancial community today, chief emphasis
being placed upon the feature of the de-
cison which definitely stipulated that re-
alignment of the various companies Shall
be accomplished under the supervision OF
the courts. The attitude thus Indicated
on the part of the highest tribunal was
regarded as distinctly reassuring to cor
porate interests in spite of the sweeping
terms of the decision. Some further UNI
easiness was shown by holders Of amer
can Tobacco securities, although there
was none of the violence of yesterday
decline
United States Steel which had borne
the brunt of recent bear attacks, gained
more than a point on the day. In the
