Feeding Wheat to Animal*.
Thero is probably no agricultural
question that comes home so directly
to the farmer to day as that of feed
ing wheat to stock or poultry. Will
It pay to raise wheat and feed it to
animals or poultry? With wheat at
fifty conts per bushel, it Is almost im
possible for many farmers to make a
fair profit from this industry, although
in favored parts of the West and
Northwest the largo farmers claim
that even at this price they can
make'a profit. But this is not true
of thousands of others scattered
throughout the Kast and West. Un
doubtedly the last season has been an
exceptional one, and prices are lower
than they will be for mnny years
again.
But the present low prices for the
grain are having their beneficial re- i
suits, says the American Cultivator. I
Many farmers are feeding their sui- '
plus wheat to stock and to poultry,
who at other times could not have '
been induced to attempt this. They j
are learning by actual experience !
what nothing olso could have taught j
them. As an illustration, one farmer I
this summer fed his wheat to the I
bu weu jueaseu
with the experiment that he asserts |
that not seventy cents a bushel would 1
Induce him to soil it in tho market
another year. Ho would feed it to
his poultry, for by so doing he real
izes at the lowest estimate $1 per
bushel in the summer time. He now
intends to try the same experiment
this winter, and he anticipates mak
ing the wheat pay him nearly $2 per
bushel.
Anttther poultry raisor has even
deigned to buy the wheat direct from
his neighbors at the city market
prices simply to feed his poultry and
the results are sogood that he has
now laid in a stock of wheat for
winter feeding instead of his usual
rations. The fact is, there is no bet
ter 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 belter
than the best screened oats.
Then we have other farmers feed
ing their wheat to swine, and here,
too, the results are satisfactory.
Hogs are high this year, 'and' the
protit is certainly sure to be good.
It will return $1 per bushel to the
owner to-day when fed to hogs, and
this is much bettor than selling it in
the market at current prices. It is
estimated that two quarts of wheat
equals in feeding value four quarts
of oats, and the stock, as a rule, like
the wheat better.
Now, here is on outlet for wheat
that has never been given much at
tention, and one need not fear that
wheat growers will have to go out of
the business. Within a short time I
poultry raisers and stock owners are
going to buy more wheat for feed,
and all of the surplus will go in this
direction, relieving the markets of
the heavy stocks. The market
prices will constantly advance, and !
those who must have the ready cash
for their wheat will be benefited in
the long run alsa Farmers should
feed wheat rather than sell it at
to-day’s prices.
Churning by Oo( rover
Outside of creamery localities
there is a vast amount of butter
churned by hand. Taking the conn- j
try over, forty-five minutes for each j
churning Is consumed in turning tho I
crank. The women or children have
to do this, for the lord of the house |
has other work for the hired man
and dislikes the task himself. The
dairy editor of the Orange Judd
Farmer tells liow he relieves the
women folks Of churning. He says:
Now I don’t want to bread discord in
me ianiuy out, wnen me wife or
mother is losing half an hour to an
hour and a quarter every churning
day, something is wrong. If dairy
ing is followed enough to make it
pay, she must churn at least three
times a week. To lequire this is
outrageous. Why should a lazy dog
stretch himself idly in the sun while
a delicate woman wearily drudges at
the churnP A dog power
does not cost much. One hog
will pay for it. The ‘ wife
has the time left for wifely duties—
time saved by making the dog pay
his board. U you churn at hom^
have a churning room. The tread
power should stand out side. Con
nect the power and churn by means
of a light shaft. As I write this the
churn is running as steadily as if
propelled by steam; the flop, flop of
the cream is as regular as a clock
beat. The dog is outside attending
strictly to business. He once learned
to shirk, and when he thought be
had labored long enough for proper
ly managed cream to lie churned he
would hang back and stop the churn.
He don’t do that now. It is not that
his conscience pricks him, but that
something .else does if he attempts
it. A dog’s conscience is better than
an average policeman’s, but it is not
equal to all demands. It sometimes
needs stirring up A thin wooden
strip with Bhingle nails driven
. through, the points projecting, is a
perfect “regulator.” Put it across
the power »behind the dog to his
heels will touch it should he hang
back and you will find him as “dili
gent in business” there after as the
man whom Solomon considered as
lit to stand before kings.
Put the cream int* the churn.
Then put the dog into the power,
and work commences and goes on
until finished. The dog may dislike
i the work, but will do ft, and is nono
1 the worse lor it, Feed him imme
| diately after his work. He accepts
I it as a legitimate compensation and
J enjoys it. Our experience has been
such that the dog power is strongly
recommended for churning where
creameries are not convenient. There
are plenty of good creameries here,
and the dairy editor churns, not be
cause he is forced to, hut for the
benefit of his readers who ore
obliged to churn and want the best
and most economical way. Luckily
there is no money lost in the work
as I get as much profit from the
milk as the best /ot the creameries*
give their patrons.
Good U»« of vtraw.
I have a large yard to the south Of
the barn and into it goes all the
straw from forty acres of wheat,
stacked just us woll as six men can
do it. I stable all my stock and bed
them to the .knees every day from
the time frosty nig its begin until
warm weather in spring. Some may
object .0 this on account of the work;
but I don’t. After February, if I see
that all the straw can’t be got
through tho stable by bedding and
feeding, I begin to cut off some and
spread a layer over the yard as often
as tho stock have trampled the pre
vious one. I turn my cattle out on
nice days and feed fodder in the
yard. In addition to the straw from
forty acres of wheat, we cut twenty
to twenty-five acres of corn and all
of it goes into tho barnyard. I sell
no hay but buy four to six tons each
year, i Keep twelve cows, about
eighteen sheep, six horses and two
to twelve hogs, and if these animals
are kept well bedded and if the
stables are regularly cleaned each day
there will be no straw for mulching
wheat' unless a man is a heavier
wheat raiser than I am.
1 make over 200 loads of manure
per year by this system, and believe
they will average 3,000 pounds each.
I use all that can bo profitably util
ized for top-dressing wheat ground,
harrowing it-in as it is spread. We
scatter it off the wagon, never piling
up in the field. All too rough for
top dressing is taken to the clover
field and spread where it is most
needed. It is put out the last thing
after the wheat ground is plowed—
generally about the middle of Au
gust I have followed this system
for seven years on this farm. A poor
Bpot due to lack of fertility m the
soil cannot be found. I don’t think
there is any use in spotting fields. By
my system I can keep my land up
without buying commercial fertil
izers, so that I raise fifty to sixty
bushels of corn, and twenty to twen
ty-five bushels of wheat per acre and
plenty of clover.—Farmer’s Record.
Horticultural Hints.
Straw is cheap and makes a good
protection for tho young trees against
rabbits.
Trees should not be planted any
deeper than they grew in the
nursery.
Spring is the best time to plant
outdoor roses. It is also the time to
prune roses.
By gathering up and burning all
prunings a great many insects will
bo destroyed.
All branches infested with cater
pillars should be cut off and burned
during the winter.
Horticulture is a good field for the
poor man, for it does not take as
many acres as for farming.
It is^a poor kind of business to set
out young trees and then through
neglect allow the rabbits to ruin
them.
Ho not water house plants too
often. When the pot is dry thor
oughly saturate the soil and water
in tho morning.
Growing the white bean is usually
profitable. The, quantity of beans
used in this country is very large
and constantly growing.
The Concord grape, to name no
other, is so easily grown that every
farmer should grow his own grapes.
Set a few vinos next spring. •
Flowers have a softening and re
fining influence, and children should
be allowed to come in contact with
them much as possible in the home.
HuUftt'holtl Helps,
The most delicate way to boil an
egg is to pour boiling water over it
ami allow it to remain, without
boiling, for ten minutes. It will be
perfectly cooked.
If it is necessary to bathe in hard
water, add a few drops of ammonia,
or prepare powdered borax in hot
water and pour in a little. The
borax can be kept bottled for use.
When the piece do resistance is
chicken don’t ask a guest if he pre
fers white or dark meat; serve a por
tion of both. With roast it is cus
tomary to find out if he likes the beef
rare or well done.
A cooling, wholesome drink is
made by mixing two tablespoon fuls
of pearl barley with a quarter of a
pound of lump sugar. Pour on it
rather more than two quarts of boil
ing water. Add the peel of a fresh
lemon. Let it stand all night, then
strain, and it is ready for use.
When you are heated don’t bathe
the face in cold water. After a jour
ney give the face a hot bath, which
will remove the dirt and coal dust
which has permeated the skin; then
| rinse in cool, but not cold water. At
night before retiring bathe the face
j in hot water, then in cool, and wipe
! dry with a soft towel,
j When dampening elothes for iron
| ing use water as hot as the hand can
j bear; sprinkle the linen, fold smooth
| ly, roll np tight,.«nd. they will iron
much easier. The hot water pene
trates more readily, and it is not.
necessary to dampen so much as
when using cold water. A clean whist
broom, kept for tois purpose only,
forms a handy implement for aprink
ling. 1

The largest whale which ever en
tered this harbor/ and one of the
largest ever seen on this coast,
washed ashore at Tokelund lately,
says the South Bend Herald. The
news was immediately brought bach
by one of the morning steamers, and
the afternoon passenger boats were
crowded to their greatest capacity
by the throngs who were anxious to
soo the monster.
The lish came in on the high tide,
and lies just a little below Charles
Fisher’s bath house. It was alive
and kicking and did not finally, sur
render its lease on existence for two
days County Attorney M. D. Egbert
had taken along a tape line, and
carefully measured the monster. The
line showed an extreme length ol
174 feet and 8 inches, with a ‘-waist
measure” of 161 feet and 6 inches.
County Surveyor I* C. Vickery fig
ured on the weight of the “animile”
and pronounced this member of the
balaenoiden family to weigh 47$ tons
and the blubber and whalebone to be
worth, at current prices, oil $9,795;
bone, $1,009; making a net total of
•310,975.
Attorney I* E. Grinn attempted to
compute the age of the subject un
der consideration, and concluded,
from the traverse lines on the baleen,
that the fish had existed for 986
years, lacking fourteen years of hav
ing lived the longest term of whale
life. The pectoral fins are two feet
long ana seven feet broad; the mouth
is twenty-four feet long, the blow
holes eighteen inches long, and the
fifty bathers in the wpter at the time
it came ashore say the noise was
deafening and the spray ejected as
scended at least fifty feet in the ntr.
The thrashing of the tail upon the
water in the struggle to regain the
channel was heard at McGowan’s can
nery at the mouth of North river,
four miles away. • County School
Superintendent L. W. Fanscher furn
ished some historical faots in regard
to the whale. Alfred the Great had
been dead but six years when his
wbaleship first began to navigate the
Waters of the earth. The old boy
was 120 years old when William the
Conqueror Was born, and may have
been playing off English shores When
he was crowned king. He was on
earth at the time of making the great
charter at Runnymede. he was mid
dle aged when the pilgrims landed
at Plymouth Rock, and probably
looked upon the wars of Napoleon,
the American revolution and civil
war with many a sad sigh and shake
of the head for the ruthless slaughter
of humanity.
Tile Kilometer.
During the trine of the periodical
inundation of the valley of the Nile,
a queer recording instrument known
as the “nilometer,” is hourly and
daily consulted by a sluggish Egyp
tian officer, who, to judge from his
motions and actions, cares but very
little if the river keeps its bed or
overflows the whole northern half of
the African continent. But as it is
the only labor he is forced to per
form, and his bread and cheese usu
ally depend upon proper execution
of the duties assigned, the record is
taken with scfypulous accuracy.
This ijueer and ancient “thermome
ter of the Nile” (it dates back to 845
A. D.), is situated at the end of the
island of Rhoda. It is simply an im
mense upright octagonal pillar stand
ing in a well-like chamber, sur
rounded on four sides with strong
walls provided with arched openings
which allow the rising waters free
access to the nilometer. The re
cording pillar is covered throughout
its length and on all of its eight Bides
with cubits and digits nicely divided,
painted with great precision, much
resembling sections of a gigantic
checkerboard. There is a huge
staircase leading from above down
to the bottom of the cistern in which
the nilometer stands, the well-worn
steps attesting to the immense num
ber of times the iustrument has been
consulted.
A Simple Barometer.
A piece of string: makes a simple
barometer. Take a piece' of string
about fifteeh inches long, saturate it
in a strong solution of salt and
water, let it dry and then tie a light
weight on one end and hang it up
against a wall and mark where the
weight reaches to. The weight rises
for wet weather and falls for fine.
The string should be placed where
the outside air catr freely get to it.
