Tl,a' Imwivlant fartop In wheat last
week was tit ii-B foreign demand.
A lesser influence was the appearance
ol tha July bulls as large buyers of tlie
September.
The general view of the trade is that
the sitnation it favorable for compara
tively high prices. Tha fact that ths
market hat had within a fortnight an
advance of 100 per bushel, and that tha
new orop movement has not fairly
started to keep, however, an influential
party in the field. At to tha final out
come of the situation, it is remarkable
how close speculators are together.
Tlmlr ititTnranivai arfl hardly niQrd than
as to tha time for an advance and its
extent.

THINGS PERTAINING TO THE
FARM AND HOME.
the Prlca ef Bay Is Bergalated by Ita
Color, Not Ita Worth Ores fodder
Oood for Stock - Keen tha Fence
' Corner Claaa. "'
':' - Markstabla Hay :'
There may be markets that will take
tb richest bay at a sufficient advance
lu price to repay the farmer for fur
nishing it, but I know ot none, and am
sure that there are not many. It sells
by color, and there la more danger of
having some of the hay blackened and
dusty when the grass Is cut In full
bloom than when It la sufficiently ma
ture to require only a short exposure to
the weather In the swath. It Is a big
and risky job to cure a large amount
of trass that Is as full ot sap as tim
othy In full bloom, and consumers In
most local markets are not Inclined to
pay for all the extra labor, risk and loss
In weight ot the total product due to
early cutting. Dead-ripe timothy Is not
wanted, ot course, and Its color con
demns It, but there la a middle ground
which should be taken. There may be
glory In furnishing the market with
timothy cut when In full bloom, but
there Is rarely any profit from the ex
tra effort and risk.'1 In the long run
just as attractive and more profita
ble lot of hay may be put upon the mar
ket when the bloom Is shed. Tne feed
ing value Is less, but this Is doing unto
others as they would do nnto us, which
Is the stiver rule of commercial trans
actions. National Stockman.
Green Fodder for Coam. .
Early fodder-corn, when eaten by the
cows, will make a satisfying feed, and
It will also largely Increase the quan
tity of milk. Fodder feed when half
grown or Immature It very poor feed,
ts It Is mostly water. The cows will
consume a large amount of such fod
der, and give a very email Quantity ot
milk. Oive to each cow four quarts of
mill feed. In the morning, when they
are being milked: then turn to pasture.
At noon give each cow an armful ot
the fodder, spread over the pasture,
tnd the same quality of mill feed made
Into slop, and one armful of fodder;
iter the mill feed and fodder Is eaten,
turn out upon the night pasture. If
the cows bave to be kept In the etable-
rard, give them, la addition, a small
forkful of oat bay, or well-cured clover
bay. The cowa must be given all they
can eat On such a ration, good cows
will average from two and one-half to
three gallons of milk per day all
through the summer, and the milk will
be of good flavor and rich In cream.
As fast as the fodder-corn ts cut off,
the ground between the rows should be
well worked up with the cultivator,
and then run out with the one-borse
plow, making the furrow about five
Inches In depth, and sowed to fodder
corn. Sow one large handful of bone
phosphate to every three feet of row,
snd about twelve grains of corn to the
foot Cover the corn as fast as It Is
town.' '
It will pay to keep the cows In good
condition; If they are allowed to be
come thin. It will take a targe quantity
of grain to get tbem In order for the
winter. The American.
riearlner Fence Corner
Nothing more clearly- shows the
painstaking and careful farmer than to
bare fence corners between fields or
along tbe roadside kept free from
weeds, grass or shrubs. As a rule all
the old-time fence corners were kejrt
scrupulously clean. A good deal ot
valuable bay was made from what the
scythe reached In and cot there. But
wben the horse mower and the self
binding reaper came Into nae.1t every
year became harder to find anybody
who could be hired to clear out tbe
fence corners. Tbe result was that tbe
ax rather than tbe scythe was requir
ed, and the growth, Instead of being
restricted to fence corners, encroached
each year more on the cultivated fields.
A rarea-r Ontflt
The better machinist a farmer Is, the
more time and money will be saved.
He should understand thoroughly ev
ery machine be uses, snd be able to re
pair all but the most serious breaks for
himself, and (void being dependent
upon paid service. It la wise fore
thought to keep on band duplicates of
such parts as are most liable to break.
thus saving valuable time, especially
In tbe haying season. A well-equipped
tool chest, with screws and nails of all
kinds, should be a part of every farm
er's outfit. If one of the boys shows
a taste for mechanics, give him a
chance to develop It He will be a val

hood ,and will probably be able to turn
many an honest penny by helping out

To Ward Off Fruit Bot "
When fruit rot has attacked the
peach crop, the best method is to re
move and burn all dried or mummified
fruit from the trees, in winter, and
spray early In spring with bluestone.
When the fruit buds begin to swell,
spray with Bordeaux mixture, and
again just before the blossoms open.
Repeat tbe spraying when the blos
soms are falling, adding a little parts
green to keep off the curcnllo. Two
weeks later, spray again. As the Bor
deaux mixture coats tbe fruit with the
lime mixture, use copper acetate, a
colorless solution, for the last two
sprayings. In Delaware, a ten-fold in
crease of sound fruit baa been ob
tained by tbls process, at a cost of
about 12 cents per tree. The Agricul

If eggs were sold by the pound it
would revolutionize the breeds. As
we have before shown, the ben that
lay the largest number of eggs may
not really be performing as much ser
vice as one that lays fewer eggs, but
which are of larger size. Suppose a
hen lays 120 eggs In a year, tbe eggs
averaging ten to the pound, her prod
uct would be twelve pounds of eggs In
one year. Now, let ns suppose that an
other hen in the flock laid 104 eggs, the
eggs averaging eight to tbe pound. In
the first case the ben that produced 120
egg would be the mont valuable, yet
she has not performed as much ser
vice as tbe one which produced but
104 eggs, as the eggs of the latter are
a pound heavier, and, If eggs ware sold
by wwlght, the would give ft larger
profit on fewer egg. Bellini egs by
weight give both the producer and
tbe coMUUMMf ft fair sale and purchase,
and farmer would begin to eelect the
breed that produced large egg. They
would then be compelled to Improve
their flocks in order U secure the best
market price for their eggs.-1'oultry

There is no better pasture grass than
the blue grass, which In some parts ot
the country Is known as June grass,
Its roots run near the surface, and the
pasture ts therefore sweet and good so
soon as the grass starts. In midsum
mer these shallow roots bave auotlter
great advantage. They are benefited
by tbe light rains which only penetrate
one or two Inches, and which will not
reach down to tbe clovers, whose roots
strike down Into the subsoil In time of
run more deeply. The clover root
strike down into the subsoil in time
of drought, and the clover grown then
la beat With June grass the best pas
ture Is In June, as later tt will prob
ably be dried out too much. ,
Remedy for Pear Blight.
A remedy for pear blight, and one
that la very Important If it acconipltwh
es wbat Is claimed for It, Is given by u
fruit-grower of thirty years expe
rience. He states that he use salt, ac
cording to the slxe of tbe tree, from
one quart to one bushel, evnly spread
on the ground, extending beyond the
raawe of the roots. It should be done
in the spring, just as the frost is lo-ar
log the ground, so that tbe fiber roots
will carry it to the sap. The salt de
stroys tbe gernvs of the disease. ' It
should be done at kast before Hie bud
begin to swell, and the fruit-grower
who give the valuable information
advises each grower to iry the remedy
with a stiagle tree, and the cost of the
experiment will not be over 10 cents,
The remedy is so simple thiit any one
can give It test, and as the salt will
destroy some ot the tntt.ct enemies It
will at least prove beunflclnl In that
respect
To Kill the llornflr.
Tbe betel way of fighting (he trouble
some horn fly Is by the application to
the rattle ot an emulsion of some kind
which will kill the Insects already
there, and keep others away. Fish oil,
to which a little carbolic acid about a
tablespoonful of the acid to a pint of
the oil has been added, makes a very
cheap and effective application. Ker
osene emulsion used as a spray Is also
good, being especially adapted to large
herds. Tbe emulsion Is made by add
ing a half pound of soap (dissolved In
a gallon of boiling water) to two gal
lons of kerosene. This emulsion, wben
thoroughly mixed and allowed to cool,
assumes tbe consistency of clabber
milk; wben used as a spray, It Is di
luted with water In which tobacco
stems have been boiled. Farm News,

It Is particularly In the time when
all farming Is least prosperous that
those who have been careful to secure
only the beet bred animals hare the
advantage. The first effect of a de
cline In prices Is to make the scrub ani
mal unsalable at any price. All through
the period of deprtxiitkMi tbe scrub stock
farmers are changing from poor or In
ferior stock to that which Is better. By
tbe time they hare all secured the best
stock the times wUl have Improved so
as to make farming profitable again. II
la really a case of cause and effect,
though sot often recogniaed a such.

Before the vines start to run, culti
vate the ground between the rows,
and, after a few days, throw a furrow
to the plants on each side of every row.
Take tbe boe and draw the earth np
close to the vines, and cut out all
weeds. The after cultivation consists
la stirring the ground between the
rows with the cultivator set to- run
hallow, and of hoeing tbe ridges aitd
preventing the v laves from rooting at
the Joints. As soon as tbe rim-- com

Prolactin Cows from Files.
A very weak dilution, of carbolic acid
will keep files off from cows In hot
weather. The carbolic acid may be
made stronger and mixed with some
grease to put around the cow' horns,
as the born fly is more persistent in Its
attacks at tlila point, and there Is no
danger of the acid here where the cow
cannot get at it to lick It. No cow likes
the odor of carbolic acid,,
