I'nlrmouiit Bulletin , AH wo inlinmtod lust week wo now linvo furllior information to furnish our readers regarding the seed wheat question. Mr. S. W. Good wrote to the tinn of Morse it Sammis , Minne apolis , milking inquiries as to price , etc.and on the 7th ho received a re ply giving the following particulars. At present the market prieo of No. 1 wheat delivered on board the train in bulk is § 1 45 per bushel. If sacked , the sacks will cost 11) or 20 cents rnch , and the sacking 1 cent pur bushel. The special rate tor trans portation assured by the 0. , St. P. it M. and 13. & M. is tt5 cents per en t. from Minneapolis to Fairmont. Now you have the figures from first to last and can act accordingly. The wheat mentioned , and of vthich a sample has boon sent to Mr. Good , is of the lift ) variety , and guaranteed to bo ns pure as can bo found in thu Minne apolis market. A Llttlo of Everything. Columbus Journal. The Journal has little faith in weather prophets , but believes in mixing farming and stock raising , with good seeds and breeds. Doubt less there are mon who can make wheat raising pay nearly every year , but their methods are not generally known , or , if known , not. generally followed. Our experience in that early varieties sowed very early pros per the best ; but for surety we would prefer to rely on corn and oats , as to grain , on potatoes as to vegetables , and on cattle and hogs or sheep. Chintz Bugs. St Paul Free Press. Wo wish to say a few words to the farmer about chintz bugs. Last year certain farmers living in the county burnt their corn nnd wheat fields over , they having discovered that the in sect laid its eggs in the hollow part of the stalk wheat stubble , and oven found them in the stems of the dried grass on the prairie. The result of their experiment was more than expected , their fields being free from the pest , while their neighbors wore troubled more or loss. We may not bo right in our view of the matter , but we believe that as this insect is not such of a tiavelor , and as shown by the statement of several , lives and lays its eggs in the hollow stems of vegetation , that every farmer should burn his land off ; and though contrary to law , wo believe it the only way to check the increased ravages of this pest. Great care should bo taken to have good fire guards , so us to keep the fire under control. Important to Sheepmen. * Lar-iimo Doonurang. Peter . . . Johnson , of Rod Butte , one of the largest sheep owners on the Laramie plains , mot with a serious loss the other day , and gives us the particulars with a view of warning others against a like accident. He dipped 500 sheep , using Cooper's Sheep Dip , and carelessly loft one package of the dip in the corral where they could get at it. As soon aa they got'a ' taste they began fighting for it , eating it like salt. Ho took it away from them , thinking it was poisonous , and ho was right. Over a hundred of them died. The dip is all right as a dip , but people using it should be careful not to leave any ot it where the sheep can get at it. It is sure death. at Selecting Breeds of Swino. J. W. Crist at Farmers' Institute. I would select a hog that has full deep hams , straight back , broad deep shoulders with great girth , and a heavy jowl , to which should bo added good ace length , a short neat head , and a small muzzle. A hog having those ted characteristics will fatten at almost and any ago desired , say from ten months bo up. I dp not not think that in this tsai country it is desirable to put n hog sue into market before 10 to 12 months ago. Nor do I think it profitable an keep a hog till twice that ago. ncri remember that 20 years ago , a hog on was not considered to have gro arrived at hog's nstate till two years was old , and attain an avoirdupois of 500 fifU GOO pounds , and that beeves could bus not bo fattened till four or five years iial old. But farmers have become wiser those matters with the experience brr years , and have brought hog breed a ing to such a state of perfection that mil wo have to-day nearly the ideal hop. $10 That swine growing is profitable , iced there can bo no question. Nebraska 0110 emphatically a corn growing coun am try , and is at the same tnno distant from eastern markets , and subject to in the extortions of railroads ; and un or der this state of affairs wo any must look to the hog as the "con trai denser" of pur vast corn crops , and at oth the same time the fertiliser ot our con fields. I have heard shroud old farm ers ia Ohio say that rhoy considered fori corn fed into hogs on the fields worth waj from three to five cents per bushel , in inl value of the return made to the 110 soil. As to thu question of over pro try duction , it is only necessary to state Jot that the hog crop of 1880 showed a falling oft" from the preceding year , and that the crop of 1881 was about million short of the crop of 1880. in The demand for the product increases and year by year , and it is not likely that the near future , at least , that hogs will bring less than their cost of production - duction , if managed properly. Mil ] ! Green Food In Winter. The editor of the American Poultry Record has a novel way of securing a How supply of grcon feed for fowls in win , losays : Where a variety of food is fed , which is the only way to secure health and a good return in egg production , every alternate day is suf dyke ficient for green food and no bettor the plan than the following is in vogue down fresh nutritious " " "groans. Tnko boxes and sulliciunt clean sand fill them , and every altern stay day fill one box with tl o over. sand and healthy corn , oats and wheat thoroughly mixed and wet , and stand it in a warm place by the stove in four days the gram will bo oion. well germinated and rooted ; the sand end may up sifted from the grain or sepa did rated in any other way most ccmvmv iont to the operator. The grain will bo found niako the to very best green food for winter. 1'V small flocks thin plan would no doubt answer the pur pose , but the boxes would hnvo to bo immense that would supply enough green food for a Hook of one hundred hearty Hrahmas , Cochins or Plymouth - mouth Rocks. P < < nciuK One hundred dollars will furnish material to enclose with a 't board fence about 10 acres-sulHciont to af ford fair pasturage in ordinary seasons for -40 to 50 head of hogs , thus costing only about 82.00 nor head ; and ns such enclosure will last at least five years , it will readily bo seen that the cost is trilling compared to the gains which are a saving of feed and bott'ji their hogs. One hundred and fiftj dollars will at thu same rate enclose more than twenty acres , sullicicnt to graze 100 head of hogs. I do not think that our wild prairie grasses arc of much value as a hog pasturu it soon becomes too tough for them. Any of the tame grasses are much bet ter. [ J. W. Cribt. Wnroi Mlllc HB n Bovonuro. Milk heated to much above 10 de grees F lose for a time a degrcoof its sweetness and its density. No one who , fatigued by over-exertion of body or mind , has over experienced the reviving influence of a tumbler of this beverage , heated as hot as it can bo sipped , will willingly forego n resort to it because of its having been rendered somouhut less acceptable to the palate. The promptness - ness with which its cordial intluonuo is felt is indeed surprising. Some portion of it seems to be digested and appropriated almost immediately ; and many who now fancy they need alcoholic stimulants when exhausted by fatigue , will find in this simplv draught an equivalent that shall be abundantly satisfying , and far more enduring in its ' Tobacco Seed to the Acre. The Cincinnati Tobacco Journal , in order to answer the question of how much seed is necessary to plant an an acre of tobacco , has pursued an in vestigation and found this : In one crain we found by actual count 1,401 seed. This would make , by multiply ing by 480 , the number of grains in an ounce , 717,170 seed to the ounce and 8,003,440 seed to the pound. Estimating 5,000 pounds to the acre and supposing every seed will make u plant every half ounce will plant nearly 72 acres , on ounce 144 acres , and one pound 1,721 acres' . As many farmers are contemplating planting largely this seat-on we recommend u careful study of these figures. Miscellaneous. Separate all breeding ewes from thu ether sheep in the flock now until after tor lambing. torI brood before they are at least a year old , as they are not then sufficiently matured , and pigs from such are some times too weak to live. For ordinary work a horse of average ago size should be fed 12 poands of oat or other grain food , and 10 to 18 pounds of good hay ; but , if driven on the road , 2 or 3 pounds of hay , morn < ing and noon , and 8 or 10 at night , with the same quantity of'grain. By training a pet hunb to come at the call , and afterward putting it with the flock , the owner can call his sheep wherever they hear him , as the pet will como , followed by the other sheep. In cold weather eggs for hatching should bo collected daily. They freeze easily when exposed , but will retain vitality for several weeks if gathered as soon as laid and then kept a i uniform temperature. If it is desired to clmnuo boos from one locality to another the hives and boxes should bo gotten 'ready for use no\ . Bees should bo changed before they are ready to fly out and become accustomed to the now locality. Fine flowers require thoroughly rot- manure and wood mould mixed , tomato or ether early plants can grown in boxes , anH afterward tsansplanted with hotter results with such ! a mixture. Chas. E. Morse raised on 140 acres avoragb i of 50 bustiols ot corn to the acre. Thirty acres of it was planted the i 1st day of Juno , owing to wet ground , and on thirty more the stand poor , owing to the defective seed ; fifteen acres averaged eighty-three bushels to the acre. [ Columbus Jour , In feeding , farmers should romem- that the measure of the value of food is in a great degree deter mined by its price. If hey is worth per ton and corn the Kanio price , largely of corn , using only hay enough to distend the stomachs of the anur.als. Our sheep mon report their flocks splendid condition. Only in one two i instances have we heard of serious loss , which is directly traceable to neg ligenco in feeding or ether unnecessary causes. Webster county Argus.

"My dear , " queried Mr. Spooponw , "did you put those oysters on ti cellar floor with the round shells , as I told you to I" "I did most of 'em , " replied Mra. Spoopondyko. ' 'Some of 'em would n'l that way. They turned nghl " . "Must have boon extraordinary in telligent oysters , " muttered Mr. Spoopondyko , eyeing her with auspi- . "Didn't ' any of 'em stand upon and ask for the morning paper , they ? " "You know what I mean. " flat- lered Mrs. Spoopondyko. "They tipped over mdowujs , and so I laid them on the Il l shell. " "That'stri ht , " grunted Mr. Sjoo ndyko. "You want to givu an . stiT his own way , or you'll hurt his feelings. Suppose you bring mu some of those gifted oysters and an oyster- knifoand mi'll oat 'cm. " Mrs. Spoonendyku hurried away , and pattered n.iok with thu feast duly sot out on iv tea-waiter , which oho set loforo Mr. Spoopendyke with a lions- sh. sh."Now. "Now. " said aho , drawing up her sowing clmir , and resting her elbows on her knees and her chin on her muds , "Whon you got all you want , ou may open mo some. " Mr. Spoopondjko whirled the knife around his head and brought it down vith a sharp crack. Then he clipped iway at thu end for a moment , and 'abbed at what he supposed was thu ) poniii . The knife slipped and ploughed the bark of his thumb. "Won't como upon , won't yo ! " ho snorted , fetching it another lick , nnd jabbing away again. "Haven't com pleted your census of who's out hero working at yo , have yo ? " and ho imnight it another whack. "P'raps ye think I haven't fully iniulo up my mind to inquire within , don't yo ? and ho rammed thu point of thu knife it it , knocking thu skin oil * his knuckle. "That isn't thu way to open an oyster , " suguestod Mrs. Snoopondyke. "Look here , " roared Mr. Spoopon- ilyko , turning fiercely on his wifo. "Have you got any private under standing with the oyster ? lias the oyster confided in you thu particular .vay ! in which ho wants to bo opened/ / " "No-o ! 'stammered Mrs. Spoopen- dyku "Only I thought " "This is ' " no'timu for thought ! shouted Mr. Spoopendyko , banging invny at thu udge ol thu shell. "This ishn the mnniiut for bittle , and if I've happened to catch the oyster during otlicu ] hours , hu's going to enter into relations with thu undersigned. | | j' Como out , will ye ? " ho yelled ns the knife flow up his alcove. "Maybe yo don't recognize the voice of Spoopon dyke ! Come out ye dod gasted coward , before yo make an enemy of COmi for life ! " and ho belted away at th shell with the bundle of the knife , an spattered mud liku a drudging machine. "Lot mo get you a hammer to crack lim with , " recommended Mrs. Spoop- onkyke , hovering ever her husband in jroat perturbation. "Don't want any hammer ! " howled Mr. Spoopondyko , Bl.uiiminir around with his knifo. "S'poso I'm going to use brute foicu on u dod pasted fish that 1 could swallow ahvo if 1 could nly got him out of IIIH housu ? Opun your monsly premihes ! " raved Mr. Spoopondyko , stabbing ut the oyster vindictively , and slicing his shirt sleeve clear to the ulbow. _ "Como 'orth and enjoy the society of Spoop- onkyko ! " and thu worthy gentleman 'oanied at the mouth as ho sunk back n his chair and contemplated his stub born fee with glaring eyes. "I'll toll you what todol" exclaimed Mrs. Spoopuudykej radiant with a profound idea. "Crack him in thu door ! " "That's ' the scheme ! " grinned Mr. poopondyko , with horrible contortions tions of visiigo. "Fetch mo the door. Sot that door right before mo on a plato. The oyster is noiiig to stay here. If you think this oyster is go ing to enjoy any changeof climate un til ho strikes the tropics of Spoopen dyke , you don't know the domestic habits of shell fish. Loose your hold ! " tquealed Mr. Spoopondyko , returning to the charge , and fetching the bivalve a prodigious whack. "Como into the outer world , where all is gay and beau tiful. Como out and let mu introduce you to my wife , " and Mr. Spoopon dyke laid thu oyster on the arm ot his chair , and slugged him remorselessly. "Wait ! " squealed Mrs. Spoopon dyke , "hero's one with his mouth open ! " and she pointed cautiously at a gaping oyster who had evidently taken down the shutters to see what the row was about. "Don't care a dod gasted nicku with a hole in it ! " protested Mr. Spoopendyke , thoroughly impatient. "Hero's ono that's going to open hia mouth ( , or the resurrection will find him still wrestling with the ostensi ble head of this family. Ow ! " and Mr. Suoopendyko having rammed the 3 knife fnto thu palm of his hand , slam ' med the oyster ugainst thu chimney- piucu , whoru it was shattered , and danced around the room , wriggling with wrath and agony. "Never mind the oysters , dear , " cried Mis. Spoopondyko , following him around nnd trying to disengage his wounded hand from his armpit. "Who's minding'om ? " roared Mr , Spoopondyko , standing on ono log and bonding up double. "I _ tell ye that when I start to inflict discipline Dr. on a narrow minded oyster that won't " cither accept an invitation or send regrets , IIO'H ' going to mind lao ! Whore's the oyster ? Show , 100 the oyster ! Arraign the oyster ! " "Upon my word , you've opened him , " giggled Mrs. Spoopondyko , picking the umaahod bivalve between the tips of her thumb and forefinger. u "Won't hav him ! " sniffed Mr. Spoopondyke , eyeing the broken aholl and firing his defeated onouiy-iuto the grate. "Tf I can't go ia the front door of an ojroter. I'm noigoing down the scuttle ! That all corcuj of laying 'om on the Sat shell , " ho continued , suddenly recolleotiug tlv&t bis wife was blame foe the whole buainoss. Now you take the rest of W down and by om as I told you to , " "Ken , dour. " "And another tiiu * you want any oysters , you ait around in the cellar , and when they open their mouths , you put sticks in. You hear ? " "Yes , dear. " And Mrs. Spoopondyko took the bivalves buck , resolving that the nexl tiino they wuru in doimmd , they would crawl out of their flhullu and walk up Blairs arm in arm before shu would iiuvo any hand in the mutila tion of her poor , dear , sufluiitig lain- bind by bringing them up herself.
