Those going to the Klondike must remember that H reliable baking pow der is an absolute necessity. If, after a long and expensive trip und the great cost of transKirtation, the baking pow der prove inferior or has lost its strength, the miner will lie practically helpless. It is no time or place to ex periment. What is required is a bak ing powder that has actually stood the test of the arctic climate. The well known explorer, Lieut. Peary, U. S. X., say of Cleveland's baking powder, which he used on his Arctic Expeditions: "Cleveland's stood the teet9 of use in those high latitudes and severe tem peratures perfectly and gave entire sat isfaction. Mr. Peary consider that there is no better baking powder made than Cleveland's. I shall take it again on my next expedition." Human Magnets. Experiments made recently by seien tillc men in Franco have developed a curious anil altogether unexpected fact, namely, that certain poisons possess a magnetic polarity that is, they are found to act after the manner of miig uets, having, in fact, north and south poles. In such a case, tho individual on being completely undressed and placed near a sensitive galvanometer, will, when turned on a vertical axis, cause a deflection first in one direction and then in the other, just as a magnet will do. It is not assumed that all persons psosess this polarity, but in the case of Professor Murani, an Italian, upon whom the experiment was tried, the phenomenon was un mistakably exhibited, it being found that his beast corresponded to a north pole and hi hack to a south polo.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. fr.d. ( unillliona In lh I.rn.llng ( Hie uf ilia vt urhl. The wheut traders urn kept busy these day watching Iit. r an I Ar mour, and are unable to see their way sleaily lu Muv. They have given up 'gluing loiter, and if he u to !uo any scrimmage it will ho w nli Armour. Ihe latter bus been buying in the Northwest and Southwest, and will bring UUO carsof wheat from the North west to Chicago. Last week he whs the seller id May. There was also liquidation by holder here und in the Northwest, the latter being closely identified with Armour, r-hort in the Northwest have been covering, some largo lines having been taken. No one but scalpers has tho temerity to sell May sliort, and they do not stand long, as they know that Leiter controls it, and can put the price where he desires. Tho attention of the trade is attracted to tho July and September. There is a disposition to discount the effects ot a possiblo largo crop here and in Europe this year by editing the new crop futures at the wide difference under May. Those w ho havo been bulls on May, if they are in the market at all, are selling July ami Septemlter. The former has the preference, but there is more risk in selling it, owing to tho crop uncertainties. Some trailers on July at Ul)o think that September at 78c ia about on a light basis. On the other hand some very good traders who have been and are still long on May are bearish on September and be lieve it should he sold on all bulges. They are afraid of the short side of July, hut think tho September a safe tale at 13a under the July. No one is selling May wheat now except Armour und those who have case stuff to de liver. The short ate getting out, and the market is narrowing so that tho speculative shortage by the first of May is liable to be very small. Those who have the wheat bought will get the cash stuff in May. As Chicago is the highest market in the country, May wheat here being Be over New York and llaltiiuore, 4?4c over St. Louis, 8 8-8o over Toledo, 00 over cash wheat in Miiiiieiimlis ami Duluth, it is natural that wheat bIiouM he drawn from other than tho regular section and shipped to this market.

The castor beau Is Ix-comlug one of tue staple agricultural products of ! southern Kansas, and is grown largely j In Illinois, Missouri und Oklahoma. It ! has been for several years. In certain I :alll!es, the rival In Kansas of sorghum. The seed la planted as soon a till dan : ger from frost Is past, generally about corn planting time. The corn plant er Is much used, although many small fields lire put In by hand. The hills are usually a little further apart than corn, but the crop Is culti vated in the same manner with hoc ami corn plows. It may lie cultivated longer, for It does not grow as rapidly I ns corn, the plant making much pro I gross after It begins to licar. When the ' plants have attained a height of six : Inches or 11 trltle more the liest Im-iiii- rulsers go through their fields with a hoe nnd cut down superfluous plants, leaving only one In inch hill. The gathering season usually begin In August 11ml continues until frost. If the grower has a large Held and several hands In his ow n family to do the gath ering, Ids crop may pay him fairly well. But If lie must hire his iH'ims gathered and board the men, then sell the beans at 11 price next door to nothing, he Is pretty sure to be n loser, liood man agement lu a castor bean crop, as In every other enterprise or undertaking. Is three fourths of the victory. The yield Is U tter lu somew hat dry weath er. Much ruin Is Injurious, blasting the bloom. The beans grow on long spikes In compact clusters of prickly, oily looking burs, three beans to each bur. When ripe the seed shell is a gray color, dlversiilcd wlih sliluk brown spots. The beans are plump, nnd eon vex on the upper side ami flat on the oilier. When placed on the flat side they have the appearance of mottle bugs lu a torpid state. The Itorrr Conquered. The borer annually destroys thou sands of dollars' worth of young fruit trees, notwithstanding the fact that different alkalies and solution have been freely tried. Some of the State have even offered liberal sum to any one who would discover a remedy which would effect Its entire extermina tion, yet this enemy of the young tree continues to do Its deadly work, lty close observation, n little study and ex perience, I have found that the eggs from which the Isirers come are depos ited In small bunches of dend leaves, closely woven together with the web mid entwined ninong the branches of Ihe tree. The eggs are deposited during the summer, and when hatched In the warm days of early spring, the young descend the trees to the surface of the ground to bore to '.he heart, girdle, or do their destructive work among the roots. These well nests should all be removed from the trees and burned In the late fall, or us soon as the trees shed their foliage, for by so doing you virtu ally destroy the lairer. Of course, this gleaning process should be repented once a year at the proper time. J. A. Drake, In Practical I-'urmer. The Middleman. The middleman Is a necessity. If a farmer hud l.lSKJ bushels of wheat to sell he could never retail It. He Is com pelled to sell lu bulk or lose more time than the wheat Is worth. The middle men are the distributors, and they are also consumers. The farmer can get rid of the middlemen to a certain ex tent by seeking markets near home for articles that nre readily salable, such as butter nnd eggs, but If he buys from his neighbor any of the articles he sells, then he, too, becomes a middleman, as he handles the product of his nelghlior between the producer and consumer. Carrots for Stock. The value of carrots will be made manifest to any one who has never used them In winter If ho will procure a few bushels and feed them to horses and cows. The animals will leave all other fissls for the carrots. They need not Ih iiMikcd, but should be sliced, with a little salt sprinkled over them. Alfalfu anil He, liie-llrctdlng-. Mr. i. II. (ioilld. III a recent letter from lteptihlieaii City, Neb., says: I came to this county In April, 1S72, set tling 011 a homestead near Itepubllean City, llarlan County, Nebraska, wish ing to begin farming on my own ac count, 1 came here simply to get lund. It took all my means to get here, and I had to start In empty handed, having no team or stock except one cow and one hog. The cow strayed off and was lost, so I was left with the one hog. With that I started lu to make my way In the new country. I raised n few hogs through tho first years, and In lKNS I lioiight some Po land China pigs, and commenced breed ing that variety of swine, which I have continued ever since. I am now rais ing one hundred nnd fifty to two hun dred hogs a year, have 3.K) acres of land, thirty acres lu alfalfa, from which the hogs lire fed the year through. In the winter they are fed the hay, which they like as well as the green pasture, and for young stock I think It Is better than the pasture. In lH!fi I raised one hundred and fifty pigs, which were fed through the summer on alfalfa exclu sively, having no grain to feed until the corn crop was ready to feed In the fall. I sold over one thousand dollars' worth nt public sale Nov. l'., 1W5, and fed out the balance, over seventy-fire bend, for the pork market. The corn and alfalfa belt Is the greut pnrkmaklng section, aud I think this, the Itepubllean valley, and Southern Nebraska, one of the fln est sections for that Industry. Alfnlfa Is one of the leading crops, and with plenty of cheap corn, with pure water and a fine climate, discs Is almost un known. This makes the raising of bogs easy and profitable. Pclence of Spring; Plowing. The plowing of the lund in spring I an ordinary matter to farmers, yet It I the most Important work performed, for the reason that the growth of the crop and the yield depend on the first preperatlon of the soli. The amount of moisture, warmth and supply of pUiat food I regulated according to the capacity of the soil to absorb, re tain and yield to the crops the desired elements iiecesary lo complete growth. The lime has been w hen potato,- were planted In the sod, llrst laving oil' Hie rows and culilvailug the crops after the plants appeared almve moiiihI, and ll may ! added dial good crop" have been su llied In that manner. Never Hull', better results have been o'i tallied when the land was plowed an I then Mm Led over mil II ll Ix'caine line. In proof of the fact that the careful preparation of the soil Increases the yield it Is well known that 11 garden plot will produce more than a Held, a I though the laud of the Held may be fully us rich In plant food as the gar den plot, but the difference Is that the preparation of the soil for a garden Is usually complete, aud when the Held Is treated III the same manner It will not fall to show the effects of the Im-1-ter preparation. The foundation upon which all good crops are built is the land, and the beginning of the crop Is when the land Is plowed. To Make a Stable Floor, l lrst. make a tight gutter of planks and put it lu place, then All In front of the gutter, where the cow nre to stand, with clay. Place a 'Jxl'J plank next to the gutter for the hind feet of the cow to stand on. Spike this plank to the edge of the gutter. Pill with clay, well pounded down even with the plank In front of It. After this clay gets dry It w III make nn excellent floor, and It w ill stay good 11s long us It Is kept dry, but If It gets moist where the front feet of the cow stands there will le holes and depressions made. A short time ago we visited a large dairy farm, where list or more cattle were kept. A part of the stable floors were made of clay, as wo have do sitIImmI, ami h part were cement. To our mind the clay Ihsir was fully as de sirable as the cement. They hud Isilh lieen used ulxiut a year. There were some slight depressions In the clay lloor. where the front feet of the cows sIimiiI, but this was accounted for by the ow ner by the fact that these Honrs were put to use Is-fore the clay was thoroughly dry. These depressions can Is' easily filled up with clay ami the tbsir made smooth again, and It would remain so If allowed to get mt fectly dry before the cows were put on It again. Hoard's Dairyman. How Urea Hatch. The egg of the itieeir Ini Is ulsut onc-lxtectith of an Inch liuvt, and a large around as a tlih cambric needle. These are dciosltcd In the cells by the queen, sticking fnit to Ihe latttmn of the vl! so as to stand on cixl, Wing held by an ikIIhwIvc substance. In from sixty to iMWi'trly-two hours these eggs hutch Into little WMrnu or larvae. They remain lu the larval state iilsiiit six days, when the cell containing them Is sealed over with raised capping by Ihe worker liees, and the- larva, after spin ning Its cocooii and undergoing a trans formation similar to that from caterpil lar to butterfly, iuergeN a perfect In sect, 11s a worker bee. In tweirty-otie days, or as a drone In twenly-fotir days, the time beliw accelerated a little by extreme heat, or retarthil by cool weather. Kulslna: Uorer. Clover Is at It best as a fertilizer w hen It has produced Its ws'ond crop. This I when It has grow 11 two full sea sons. If kept beyond this time, either weeds or grassess come In, according as tho soil Is liest seeded with these. Whoever keeps a Held lu clover longer than two yean lessens the crop that can be grown afler It. On the other hand, a clover ley will not down the first season after It Is plowed, so that It may be sown with clover seed the fol lowing spring. An old sod made up from any of Ihe grasses needs to lie cul tivated two years Is-fore It Is ready to reseed. Hence the smaller amount of fertility It furnishes Is more thoroughly exhausted by three cropa on It Instead of two, a clover allows before the lund I again being reseeded. A Point In Urafllna;. The effect of the stock upon the scion Is shown lu n report recently sent out by the French Academy of Sciences. Two pear trees of the same variety, standing side by side, one grafted 011 11 pear seedling and the other on 11 quince, Isirc fruit for a number of years. That from the pear stock was green, while that from the quince stock was a golden yellow, with n rose blush 011 the side toward the sun. The latter also weighed a third more per speci men, was more dense In Isith fruit and Juice, and was richer In both ucld and sugar. Careless Methods. The farmer who Is horrified at the Idea of burning his com, practically doe the same thing w hen he stints his fattening stock, when he feeds It to poorly bri-d animals, when he attempts to make It take the place of shelter, aud when he Is careless In his meth ods of handling It. To feed u poorly balanced ration Is one way of burning It. To waste corn Is certainly worse than wanning one's self by It on 11 winter day. Farmers' Journal. Corn Kodiler. Tho farmer who place but littlo value on corn fodder often llnds that he has not too much of It. On farms where there I more than can Ih used the fodder shredder will prepare the stalk for bedding, and when added to tho manure heap they are then ten times more serviceable than when used lu tho old style way of trampling In tho barnyard, because the shredded fodder ha the power of absorbing largely of the liquid In tho manure.
