Lessons in Feeding.
The farmers who witness the judg-
ing of fat steers at the International
obtain practical lessons in feeding.
Here's where we learn more about
feeding steers and fitting them for the
market than in any other part of the
show" said one farmer. as he jumped
down into the pen to finger the ribs
of one of the prize steers. We learn
things here that we can go home and
try out in our own feed lots
Bran is Higher.
Bran is scarce and higher. and has
advanced $3.50 to IS per ton at Chi
CagO, spring wheat varieties being
now $50 per ton f. o. b. Flour is up
about 81 per barrel from the low point
on spring wheat patents, the best
grades running at $3.50 to SIS in car
lots. At the same time our winter
wheat flOurs are quoted as low as IS. 40
10 S5.75 in CARROTS for hard wheat, and
at from $3.50 to $6.75 for soft red win.

boss corn husker, and says that one
Noah Waldo picked and cribbed 1SS

New Annual White Sweet Glover.
4 new variety of clover, a sweet
white annual. gives great promise of
becoming a valuable hay crop, also d
heavy seed producer and quick grower
for enriching land by blowing under
or as a catch crop. The credit for the
| discovery of this legume falls to Prof
Hughes of the Iowa state college, who
found a few vagrant plants growing in
an Alabama clover field, some four OF
five years ago. The seed was care
fully gathered and brought north and
from this first handful Of seed the only
known annual" white sweet clover in
the world has been developed.
Is Named Hubam
This new strain has been named
Hubam, for Hughes and Alabama. 1t
has been developed at the Iowa state
farm and few of these precious seeds
have found their way to numerous
( curious agriculturists who wished tC

! to raise seed for more extensive use
should this prove desirable. The first
! modest seed crop sold at the rate OF
! $3.50 per bushel of sixty pounds, but
/ Prof Hughes has been liberal enough
/ to send sample seeds to men who
wanted to test out the possibilities Of

( seed. One tiny envelope, containing
( perhaps 100 seeds, was received II
! this county last spring and these were
! sown in farm garden plot, where
! they made a splendid growth, reaching
, four to five feet. All the seed gather
ed will be sown next year in a specia
