LOW PRICE OF WHEAT.
Trarhe a Valuable I.emon to Many of
the Fanner.
There is probably no nt,. cultural
question that comes so directly home to
the farmers of today as that of feeding
wheat to stock and poultry. Will it pay
to raise wheat and feed it to animals
and poultry? asks a writer in the Ameri
can Cultivator, and continues in answer :
with wheat so cheap as It is now it is
almost impossible for many farmers
to mako a fnir profit from this industry,
although in favored parts of the West
and northwest the large farmers claim
that even at this price they can make a
profit. But this is not true of thousands
of others scattered throughout the East
and West. Undoubtedly this season
has been an exceptional one and prices
arc lower than will be the case for many
ycais again.
But the present low prices for the
grain are having their beneficial results.
Many farmers aro feeding their surplus
wheat to stock and poultry, who at any
other time could not be induced to at
tempt this. They are learning bv
j actual experience what nothing elso
! could have taught them. As an illustra
tion, one farmer this summer fed his
i wheat to his poultry, and he is so well
pleased with the experiment that ho as
serts that not 70 cents a bushel would
induce him to sell it in the market an
other year. He would feed it o the
poultry, for by so doing he realizes at
the lowest estimate $1 per.bushel in the
summer time. He now intends to try
the same experiment this winter, and
he anticipates making the wheat pay
him nearly $2 a bushel.
Another poultrv-raiser has even
deigned to buy the wheat direct from
his neighbors at the city market prices
simply to feed his poultry, and the re
sults are so good that he is now laying
in a stock of wheat for winter feeding
Instead of his usual rations. The fact
is, there is no better food for making the
hens lay than wheat, and this may yet
be the food that we will give to our
poultry. It also answers the purpose
better than the best screened oats.
Then we have other farmers feeding
their wheat to swine, and here, too, the
results are satisfactory. Hogs are high
this year, and the profit is certainly sure
to be good. It will return $1 per bushel
to the owner today when fed to hogs,
and this is much better than selling it
in the market at current prices. It is
estimated that two quarts of wheat
equal in feeding value four quarts of
oats, and the stock, as a rule, like the
wheat better.
Now, there is an outlet for wheat that
has never been given much attention,
and one need not fear that wheat grow
ers will have to go out of the business.
Within a short tlmo poultry-raisers and
stock owners aro going to buy moro
wheat for feed, and nil tho surplus will
go in this direetfon, relieving the mar
ket of tho heavy stocks. Tho market
prices will consequently advance, and
those who must have tho ready cash for
their wheat will be benefitted in the
long run also. Farmers should feed
wheat rather than sell it at today's
prices.

The committee of ladies organized for
charitable purposes, consisting of Mes
dames Sinnott, Lang, S. French ,and
Mack, are always ready to extend relief
to those needing it, and if anyone is
suffering for the necessaries of life it is
their own fault. These ladies have often
been misled by others in seeking objects
of aid, where investigation proved it not
necessary, and again they have been im
posed upon. No really deserving case
escapes them unless so concealed that
there is no possibility of hearing about
it and then it is no one's fault but the
sufferer's.

PEASE & MAYS, ,
The Dalles, Ore. "r : '
Gentlemen:
I have yours of the 10th inst. asking if it would be possible for
me to visit The Dalles this Christmas-time. I have had most excellent
reports of the behavior during the past year of the children in your
City, and have finally decided to pay you a visit. Shall endeavor to
reach your store, where I intend to make my Headquarters while in The
Dalles, by half-past two Saturday afternoon. It is possible that, owing
to the bad condition of the roads, for we cannot travel nearly as fast
as if the ground were covered with snow, and also because I have had the
misfortune to lose two of my pet Reindeers, Comet and Vizen, I may be a
little late. I am disappointed in not qeing able to have a present for
all that I may meet while in your city, but I will send on some Candy
and Pop Corn for the children, and a more useful present for their
mothers. You may say to all the children of The Dalles, who have been
good boys and girls for the past year, that I will be in your store
Saturday afternoon and evening, to shake hands with them and wish them
A MERRY CHRISTMAS. Yours Truly,
v , SANTA-CLAUS.
