MARKET
REPORT

Chicago, lll.-There are signs of a
more conservative feeling in the
wheat market and wild fluctuations
arc not expected unless resulting from
some accident to the spring wheat
crop, which is already short III acre
age The great loss to the winter
wheat crop is known and accepted.
There apepars TO be little new inform
alton on that point and the loss has
beene pretty thoroughly discounted in
the advanced price.
1t is the general opinion that
heavy dealers have within the past
few days taken a great deal of floating
wheat off the market, giving the deal
a steadier tone and increasing conn
dence in the stability of the present
level Of values. Bulls, while admitting
that breaks are TO be looked for, be-
lieve the general tone will remain firm
to strong, with all chances of spring
wheat crop scares in their favor.
There are not many bears in the deal
and they are not aggressive at pres
emit A fine spring wheat outlook may
help them later, but just now the
northwestern outlook is favoring the
other side. There is no longer any
chance that the good crop promise IN
the west will come anywhere near to
making good the loss in the soft win
ter wheat country and that must re-
main in the bullish column.
1t is a two-sided market now &C
cording to general belief and any
sharp advance or decline is likely TO
meet opposition Cash wheat is in
good demand, but the northwest re-
ports a slow -four trade

course there are exceptions to all
rules, the individuality OF the COW
having very much to do with her
ability to perform.
AS we stated before, cows
quirements may be found among
all breeds although of course the
dairy breeds carry larger pro-
portion. We do not claim that a
COW must be of an extreme dairy
factory results. There is a happy
The COW answering these genera
requirements and then having Just
enough surplus flesh to keep her
in good condition is ideal We
mean good working condition and
not in good condition for the
butchers block.
Inasmuch as we shall devote
considerable space from time to
time discussing the COW we will
have to pass this by for this
time. Another e, bject which we
have in mind seems to fit right in
with the discussion of the kind of
COW to use in the dairy. That
is the question of how much feed
to give to COW and we only
mention it at this time to point
out one fundamental. We have re-
ferred to the capacity of the COW.
In order to get the best results
the cow must be fed according 70
her capacity, or ability to pro-
duce dairy products economically
and cows capacity is not deter
mined by her size. Some Of the
heaviest producers in the country
are very small cows.
We should feed her according
to the mi k she gives. If we feed
her too much We are wasting feed.
If we feed her too little We
are wasting an opportunity.
A good rule to follow is TO give
the COW all OF the rough feed she
can eat up clean. Then feed her
one-third as much ground feed as
she gives pounds of milk. If a
COW gives six quarts of milk at
milking or three gallons day
this would be about Is pounds of
milk to her credit. She should
have eight or nine pounds of
ground feed divided into a morn
ing and night ration and all the
gram shoujd be ground timely. III
should also be fed dry except that
If one chooses to just dampen it
there is no harm done. The best
feeders however use all dry
feed.
1t is not absolutely necessary to
weigh every bit of milk the COW
gives and every bit of feed that
she eats in order to follow this
rule. An occasional weighing with
the use of judgment on the farm
will enable the feeder to follow
this rule very closely.
This feed question is a dry one
and we promise right now to give
it to you in small doses. We shall
try and mix it in with other sub
jects which may be more interest
ing and yet we want to give
enough space to a discussion of
the feed question to emphasize its
importance.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1912-05-16

Last week we made the asser-
ton that there are three kinds Of
cows. One kind is typified by the
COW that can eat whole lot Of
feed and convert il into dairy
products. The second kind by the
COW which can eat a who.e lot Of
feed and convert it into beef
products, and the third kind is
typified by the COW. that can eat
a whole lot of feed and the Lord
only knows what she does with it.
Her owner surely does not.
These three types may be found
among herds ON a good many
breeds except that the second
type or beef animal is not often
found among the dairy breeds
Holstein, Ayrshire, etc. OF course
among the pure bred cattle more
of the first type of COW are found
and there are also too many of
the third kind. There are whole
lot of pedigreed scrubs in the
country.
We hope in our humble way to
emphasize the desirability of
employing the first kind of cows
mentioned if our object is to pro-
duce dairy products economically,
and we haven't any particular
breed in mind either. We like
the definition of the COW given by
the Irishman who when asked
what breed his COW was replied
that she was one-eighth Jersey.
When asked what the other seven
Fights was he replied, "Why COW,
of course"
The man who starts out with a
shotgun on his shoulder TO hunt
prairie chickens would not think
of taking a bulldog along with
him He would want the service
Of bird dog. The man who
hopes to win first in a horse race
would not think Of entering a
Norman or any of the other draft
horses. He would want a race
horse. Why then should a man
who wants to produce dairy prod
ucts keep a COW that is only cap
able of keeping in condition for
the butchers block? The COW that
will produce the most economical
milk is the COW that answers in a
general way to certain characteris-
tics. These we will choose to term
her temperament.
The good dairy COW is one with
large barrel showing abundant
capacity to handle feed especially
an abundance Of rough feed which
is the cheapest grown on the farm,
for without this evidence of capac-
ity she cannot be the most profit
able producer. She should have
well sprung ribs showing depth
sideways as we'll as vertically. She
should have spare quarters, slim
neck sharp over shoulders and a
head which is distinctly feminine.
Size should have large, well
shaped udder running well for
ward and up behind and with
large prominent milk veins and
milk well. A COW answering to
these general Requirements will in
most cases produce very satisfact-
DRY results to her owner. OF

Some Methods OF Preventing Dust no
Macadam Streets.

Macadam Streets.
From Paper Read at 1912 Meeting
Engineering Society of Wisconsin,
BY John #. Icke, City Engineer,
Madison.
A macadam road, as we all
know, is made of crushed stone of
varying sizes held in place by FL
ling the interstices with smaller
stone, dust or other suitable
material as a binder. In the ordi-
nary water-bound macadam a
cementing action takes place be-
tween the crushed stone and the
dust used as a binder, the degree
of this cementing action depend
ing upon the material used as
crushed stone and the material
used as a binder.
The harder the rock, the less
able it is to absorb moisture, and
the more difficult il is to bind.
For this reason the GRANTEES are
more difficult to bind than The
,imestones when used as road
material.
In order to keep macddam
street in good condition * must
receive sufficient traffic to fur
nish more or less dust, and mois-
ture must be provided to aid in
keeping the stone cemen-
ted. If a sufficient amount Of
moisture is not present then the
road will ravel and will be rapidly
destroyed, especially if very much
automobile traffic passes over the
order. In order to supply the
necessary moisture the method
known to all of us of applying
water with a sprinkling wagon
has been used almost exclusively
in the past. The water so applied
furnishes the moisture which is
absolutely necessary to keep the
macadam well bound and so acts
as dust layer or dust preventa-
tive. Many objections to the use
of water as a dust preventatil @
may however, be urged If the
water is applied in just the right
quantity to lay the dust, but not
in quantities enough TO make the
road surface unnecessarily muddy
then the service may be consid-
cred fairly satisfactory. The Diff
ficulty lies, however, in the almost
impossible task of having the
water applied aften enough and in
quantities sufficient only to keep
the surface moist. Another ob]ec-
ton to the use of water is on &C
count of the injurious effect upon
the road material that the fire.
quent application of water has.
Any slight depression in the sur
face of the road will collect and
hold water which will soften mp
formation of still greater de-
pressions. Still another OBJ
objection exists in case the supply
mand upon the water works sys-
tenn is usually already great at
that season of the year when the
sprinkiing of the streets is most
urgent and in many cases the
heavy demand of the sprinklers
seriously interferes with the pres
sure throughout the system.
For some years past engineers
and others interested in road work
have been experimenting with
various materials and methods Of
application, designed as sub
stitute for water as a dust layer.
The use of tar or asphaltic oil APP
piled to the surface of the road
or of tar or asphalt as binder for
the upper two or three inches of
the road surface is now good
practice in many localities. The
application of tar or asphaltic oil
on the surface of the road is gen
orally spoken of as surface treat
ment. 4 he writer's experiment

Profits From Cucumbers

The growing of cucumbers for
pickles is profitable industry in
Western Michigan. In the neigh
borhood of Baldwin, Lake county,
over 1000 bushels of cucumbers
were sailed in 1911. These
were grown by farmers who de
voted from one to five acres TO
the crop. The best returns were
obtained by Alfred Kinney, who
received $242.3S for the cucumbers
from 81 acres. This was a re-
turn of $13S.5O per acre John
Massek averaged S110.23 an acre
from two acres. F. @. Yount re-
ceived $117.3S for cucumbers
grown on one acre, and w. r. Hell
Ter received S107..66 for the crop
harvested from one acre. Vincent
Rozhon received returns from
AZ acres at the rate Of 1882 an
acre.
