Market for Apples and Prunes.

The people of Norway usually de-
pend on the Norwegian apple crop and
the Servian prune crop for the greater
part of their winter fruit supply. Dur
ing the present season the apple crop
in Norway is very light, being practi-
cally failure; Servia, being at war,
will be unable to supply prunes.
These conditions furnish an oppor-
tunity for American exportets Of
fruits to find large market this sea-
son in Norway for dried and green
apples and prunes, says Consul Gen.
eral Michael J. Hendrick, Christiania.
While American fruits, both green and
dried, are largely sold in Norway,
none were heretofore imported direct
ly from the United States, wholesale
dealers in Hamburg, Germany, through
local agents, furnishing the supply.

ODD COINAGE ON NIGERIA
Legal Tender That Is Unhandy to
Garry About in Any Consider
able Quantity.

Among the strangest coins in the
world are those used in certain out-of-
the-way towns and villages in south
west Nigeria, on the west coast of
Africa. and called "manillas." In shape
they resemble a horseshoe with the
two extremities flattened out like a
camels foot. Being made Of solid cop
per, three-eighths of an inch thick,
they weigh over eight ounces each. In
face value" seven of these queer
coins are equivalent to one quarter,
so that a dollars worth would be an
uncomfortable, heavy load
Not only are these ''manillas" used
among the natives. but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores At one
time the strangely shaped money had
quite circulation in certain parts of
the coast, but it's use is now restricted
to few bush towns and one or two
of the smaller seaboard places. includ
ing Bonny, Brass and Akassa. MA
nillas" are now very difficult to OBJ
tain, and curio collectors value them
not solely by reason of their scarcity,
but because of the novel serviette
rings they make when silver plated.

MIGHT BE CALLED EVIDENCE
At Least Participant in Fight Had
Reason to Believe He Was
Telling the Truth.

Two colored soldiers at a frontier
post had fight, during which one OF
the combatants lost an ear, and the
other was accused of having bitten it
off. The case was tried by general
court-martial, and the counsel for the
defense, in cross-examination of the
one-eared man, the principal witness
for the prosecution, asked: Where
did this fight take place?" 'In Mista
Nelson's con field, jes' outside de reser.
vation," answered the witness. What
was the condition of the grounds" Hit
wuz covered wild stubble-co'n had all
been cut" Now" said the counsel,
glaring at the witness, you are on
oath, and will get into serious trouble
if you tell anything but the truth.
Could not your ear have been torn of
by the sharp stubble?" 'Yaas, sab"
said the witness, hit mought.' Then

LAMB AND MUTTON
DIFFER GREATLY
Animal at Eight Weeks Old Brings
the Highest Price Ever
AttainabIe.

There is as much difference be-
tween lamb and mutton as there is be-
tween spring chickens and a three
year-old rooster.
There is limited period in the life
of well-fed animals for growth. Every
factor in the problem of producing
mutton points to early maturity. It's
the early lamb that gets the coin.
At eight weeks old, if in condition
and seasonable to meet the very Sc
lect trade, the lamb brings the high
est price ever attainable, per pound.
A very narrow limit at this time and
the tide Of prices fades away and it
will be necessary to keep him until
another time or season that calls for
a lamb three to five months old, but
at price considerably less per pound.
The lambs marketed at four months
Of age do not, as a rule, bring as much
per head as those sold at eight weeks
of age. The longer they are kept the
lower class of market they satisfy
and SO on until they are full grown.

SUCCESS WITH THE
FARM LIVE STOCK
Animals Used for Breeding Pur-
poses Should Possess In
dividuaI Merit.
(By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.)

(By e. VAN BENTHUA SEM
Regularity in feeding and work
makes long-lived horses.
A scrub may yield profit, but if
so, a good animal would give great
er profit.
Feeding an inferior quality of food
is not consistent with the most profit
able stock feeding.
The young SOW proves her ability
by the way she handles her first lit
er.
No young animal will return as good
results as the ones literally fed.
To be too fiery is fault in horse
drawing heavy loads on an uneven
road.
Good stock must have good fare and
attention, and then they will make
most liberal returns.
The food of support is more than
the food of gain, under the most ia
vorable conditions.

No animal, however well bred,
should be used for breeding purposes,
unless it has individual merit.
Make it a rule to save everything,
the saving of which doesn't cost more
than it is worth.
In breeding, defects are peculiarly
persistent, and are more easily
stamped upon the next generation,
than good qualities.
Mixed grasses make better and
surer pasture than a single variety,
though it be the very best Of all.
Scant feeding of the young animal
produces that which is all but impos-
sible to overcome by liberal feeding
afterward.

priced grain, however, this can hard
ly be recommended. A convenient
rule, according to the department of
agriculture, is to figure on one shoat
per steer when shelled corn is fed
and two when ear corn. In any cir
cumstances there should be enough
hogs provided to clean up all the
waste corn.
{ Another convenient basis of calcu-
lation is to estimate that when one
third of bushel of corn is fed a
steer approximately three-fourths Of
a pound of pork will be obtained.
With ear corn the gains are greater
but on the other hand corn meal or
corn and cob meal yields very little
pork since it is much better utilized
by the steer. 1t seems indeed to be
proved that the diet which is most
efficient for steers IL the less so for
hogs and vice versa.
1t is customary to feed the hogs
corn in addition to that which they
obtain from the droppings. When
this is done the hogs should always
be fed separately and preferably be-
fore the steers in order not to annoy
the latter.
Farmers bulletin 5SS. Economical
Cattle Feeding in the Corn Belt" in
which these questions are discussed,
emphasizes the desirability of paving
feed lots when hogs are following cat
tie. 1t has been definitely shown, say
the government specialists, that hogs
make nearly one pound more of pork
on paved lots for each bushel Of corn
fed the steers. With pork at six
cents a pound this item alone will
amount to about $3.50 steer. In ad-
dition the risk of immediate loss must
be taken into consideration. This
sometimes compels the farmer to ship
his cattle before they are ready and
the loss he incurs in one year may
well be more than the cost of paving
the lot.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agr,culture.)
The present margin of profit in fat
tening cattle for market is so narrow
that many authorities assert that it is
inadvisable to feed steers without fol-
lowing them with hogs. If the steers
sell for enough to pay for expenses
the nogs that follow will ordinarily re-
turn sufficient profit to pay the farm
er for his labor.
Interesting figures on this subject
have been obtained by the United
States department of agriculture from
"a Iowa farms. These farms were all
managed by men of undoubted expert
ence in raising cattle. A careful ac-
counting system was adopted and rig
idly followed.
The experiments began with the
feeding year beginning in the fall of
1909. Prices at this time we're very
satisfactory and the 961 cattle raised
made an average profit of $2.05 per
head. These steers were followed by
ASOOI 1AOGo WhiOA WOl 6iNCA CALId
grain. The hogs were sold in the
spring of 1910 at an average profit
of $6.67 per hog. If this profit is
credited to the steers, each steer
shows a profit of s12.49. In the fol-
lowing feeding year, however, 1910 to
1911, the outcome was different
Prices were unsatisfactory and the
1,13S cattle we're fed at an average
loss for the year of rs cents a head.
Nevertheless the 1,646 hogs following
the steers turned this loss into a
profit. The hogs netted an average
profit of 1888. Crediting this to the
steers we have net profit per steer
of $4.04.
Opinions differ on the number of
hogs that it is well to have follow the
steers. When corn is cheap many
farmers feed the steers more corn
than they can eat and run extra hogs
which consume the waste. With high

STUCK TO HIS FRIEND
BORROWER INSPIRED BY SPIRIT
OF LOYALTY.
Had Altogether Too Much Self-Re'
spect to Apply to Anyone Else
While Old Neighbor Had
Things to Lend.

NO one could truthfully deny that
most of the small farmers of Dilmouth
were addicted to Notwithstanding
tools chiefly-although as occasion
arose they would borrow anything
else with the utmost cheerfulness.
The burden fell heaviest upon Caleb
Peaslee, thrifty farmer who kept
every necessary tool, and who tried to
keep them in condition for use. The
man who brought with him almost
every known appliance for tilling the
ground, seemed to open an avenue of
escape from some of his troubles.
"Mebbe some of these hawks'll take

confided to his son. II hope SOL do

If l can't turn some of EN- his way,
and get little rest"
Caleb made his first attempt at
turning them" when Jake Meader, his
nearest neighbor and an inveterate
borrower, came for the wheel hoe,
which lay in the tool shed with one
wheel broken. Jake went to the shed
and examined the hoe, and then re-
turned to the grind-stone, where Caleb
and his son we're grinding scythes.
Jake's face wore dissatisfied express
sion.
"Ain't you goin' into Bangor some
time this afternoon, Caleb?" he In
quired, anxiously.
Mr. Peaslee drew his thumb care
fully along the scythe, testing the
edge
Il d'know but mebbe SHALL" he re-
turned, noncommittally. "Why?"
'Why!" returned Jake, in aggrieved
surprise. "On account of that wheel
hoe-that's why. Here it's been laying
right there in that shed for four-five
days with the wheel broke, and the
weeds gettin' higher in my beets every
minute. l callated to borrow it this
afternoon and see if I couldn't get 'em
thinned out little-and here l find
that you amt got it fixed yeti"
Caleb regarded the borrower with a
fine irony, tempered by an exasper-
ated amusement.
"See here, Jake" he said at length,
"if my tools amt in shape to suit you,
why don't you go up the road piece
and try Barney. He's got everything
you need in the way of tools-mebbe

and get it when you want it. I'd

Jake turned to Caleb face full of
wounded dignity.
Beats all how a man'll live right
alongside of another man for years,
and not know him, after ALL" he burst
out, earnestly. Il want you to know,
Caleb Peaslee, that amt none of your
