Those going to the Klondike must
remember that H reliable baking pow

a long and expensive trip und the great
cost of transKirtation, the baking pow

strength, the miner will lie practically
helpless. It is no time or place to ex

baking powder, which he used on his

"Cleveland's stood the teet9 of use

Experiments made recently by seien

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

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

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

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

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

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

they have the appearance of mottle

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.
Liquid Manure.
It I claimed that Do per cent, of the
nitrogen In entile food Is returned to
the furm where butler Is made a spe
cialty. Of this quantity one-half goes
Into the liquid manure, one-fifth In tho
solids, aud tho balance In the skim
milk. If tho skim milk Is fed to pig
there Is a profit therefrom and a fur
ther addition to the manure. The fact,
however, that one half of the nitrogen
goes Into the liquid manure is evidence
that the liquid are too valuable to be
wasted, a they are on many farms.
K-Etl Poultry.
Some fowl. (sMV-lnlly undT confine
ment, will eat their eggs, ami there
sema to be no way to prevent the-in
unit you cut their heaiWi off. If a mif
flcliwt quantity of broken oya-ter shell
Is given flirm, they sometime prefer
this to the egg sheUa, or th newt may
he arranged so that the egg, when hi Id,
will roll out of sight and reach of the
ben.
