THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MOJSDAY , SEPTEMBER 23 , 1889. 3 FALL WORK FOR TUB STOCK , What Proportion Should Bo Kept and What Marketed. CORN IS NOT OUT OF DANGhR. Some Sections Injured by Bnd Grnxv- Ing Wcnthcr Plum Unlslne In Ncbrnsku Unify Cnttlo Uls- onsen Fnrrn Notes. Work for fitoclc. "With cattle iu\d hogs nt this time ono of the most important items to deter mine IB how many it will bo host to keep nml what shall bo marketed , says the American Agriculturist. With the run of a peed pasture and n very little extra fcedlnp stock ought to be in a good condition , so much so that a few weeks of hcav y feeding engrain grain will fit them for market. If there is plenty of feed the bettor pluh is to fatten on the farm 'before marketing. But it is only in exceptional cases that the farmer can make it prolltublo to purchase feed to give to fattening stock and if the faupply of feed Is not sulllcicnt to feed all the stoclc that are sufllciontly matured , and at the same tune keep what stock it is considered best to win ter in a good , thrifty condition , the bet tor plan will bo to sell while they are in a good condition ready to fatten. It is often the capo that at this time good stock that are in a good condition can bo sold to a better advantage now than later unless they can bo fattened. With hogs all that can bo fattened should bo marketed , as it does not pay to winter any more hogs that can bo helped and the necessary breeding stock with the young nigs is all that should bo wintered. And for these a good , dry shelter should bo provided. As with feed it is not a good plan to attempt to winter any more stock than can bo completely sheltered. To at tempt to maintain animal heat by feed ing grain increases the cost too much. Cull out all thutaro to bo fattened for market and commence feeding early. A gain can be secured at a much less cost now than later. Usually the hotter plan of commencing to fatten IB to grad ually incteaso the rations every day until they are given all they vJU oat up clean. After they arc put on full feed they should bo given all they will oat. To give more than this is a waste and less than this is a loss. Market as soon as they are ready , as after stock reaches a certain stage it will cost considerable moro for every pound of gain than be fore. fore.Another Another Horn that should bo looked af ter now is shelter. This should bo prepared - pared in advance rather than to wait un til it is actually needed. This Is ono item of farm work that should always bo done in ad vance. The princitml items aae conve niencewarmth and drynebs. The place selected should bo whore good drainage can be given , and then with a tight roof the stock can bo kept dry. In the pig pens provide a good tight floor to feed grain upon , and a good trough for wa ter and slops. The cattle should have a good tight manger for feeding bay and fotutar , and tight boxes for bran and grain. On the majority of farms it will pay to have a feed mill for grinding the grain and a cuttiutr box for cutting all the roughness. The feed meal , as well as the different combinations that it is possible to make , will make the invest ment prolitablo. It is always an item to soenro the best gain at the lowest possible cost , and this can bo done by grading and cutting the feed and combining so as to make up complete rations. Lay in a supply of bedding not only to incroabo the comfort of the stock but nlso to increase tb o quantity of manure. It is something ditllcult to secure dry bedding during the winter , unless it is secured in the fall and stored away. A sufllcient quantity should always bo used to keep the stock clean , and to absorb serb all the liquid voiding. . If moro breeding stock is needed , and especially with the hogs , now is a good time to secure it , some time in advance of when it will bo needed , so that they will have time to recover from the ef fects of shipping and the change in their management. Corn Not Out of Dnnircr. There has been a good deal of solici tude among the business men , railroads , bankers , etc. , for two weeks concerning the corn crop. The general fooling was that it was in serious danger from frost. The hot dry weather of the last half of August has changed this , and the cry now is that there is great dan ger of'drouth. There is some ground lor this alarm , says the Iowa Home stead. While the weather has boon just right for corn in all parts of the coun try whore tlio Juno weather was dry and there were timely showers in July , it lias not been right for sections hav ing a wet Juno. Hence the entire country from southern Kansas through to Ohio has bcon called upon to stand a very severe test , and wo have no doubt that the crop is cut short. The reports from the various counties In southern Iowa , from Marion to Leo , as given to the signal service station at DCS Moines , indicate- that the corn is Buffering , and travelers toll us that much of it is "firing. " This indicates dungor that cannot bo repaired , The country in Iowa north of the Illinois Central is likewise suffering , except the counties west of the divide. East ern Iowa is suffering worse than in the west. In central western Iowa the corn is all that could bo desired. The ofll- cer in charge of the Iowa service sums up the situation August 81 as follows : Early planting und well tilled corn Is rap idly maturing nnd doing well. Some Holds ore already out of danger of damaca by frosts , and the bulk of tliu iron will bo well inulureU by September 15. The dry woiithcr lias undoubtedly reduced the total yield of corn 1C per cunt bcluw the estimate maJo at the first of the month j but the crop will bo * ample. , Reports from other states show that i conditions are less favorable in general than in Iowa , nnd all indications now point to a crop not in excess of last year , if , indeed , it equals it. There is no need for farmers to borrow trouble over the supposed fact that there will bo no ealo for the crops.Vo are not yet to bo drowned iu our sweetness , for Nobrnskn. Mucli interest in this fruit lias bcon awukoned recently by the appearance of California and ( southern plums in our markets and by Hno crops hero and there of such Btumlurd native plums tvs Wild Geese , Forest Garden and Minor. All are ready to aslc "what shall I plant'So fur all of the foreign plums und prunes have given but little return. Occasionally a tree of Green Gitgo , Yel low Egp. German prune , Dluo Durason , Lombard or Smith's Orleans may give n nice showing of fruit and that is the end of ii. It may bo said truthfully of all thib class , the trees are too tender , the fruit is too much alTeotod by the ourcu- lie to bo ot any practical value to the planter. We must look to the native American plums for profitable returns unless sorao now race of plums is intro I. duced that is bolter ndnptcd fo our ch- mute than tlioso named , says the No- brnskn Farmer. There is ix large class of native Amer ican plums now presented for our trial. Ono of the dlnicull things is lo select the best from nmonp the many , aq all have some good characteristics , at least for certain localities ) . The Wild Geese is an old variety : its quality is very peed for tv desert fruit , or for immedi ate use , but is very juicy and soft for fanning or 'preserving in any form. Fruit is a light cherry rod with very small white dots , slightly oblong , from ono lo ono and oiic-elghtii inches in dl- nmotcr nnd very showy. It rlpons at Lincoln from the 2.5th of July to August 10. T'o worst defect is that It is n shy bearer. Mnrlnnna deserves to ho mentioned. although now and not fairly cslnblisnod on its own merits in Nebraska. It is a Bocdlingof the Wild Goose , is like the Poltnwattnmia in loaf and twig ; fruit is similar in appearance und quality lethe above , but not quito so Inriro. It ripens at thcsnmo time. The Forest Garden IB a native of Council DlulTs. It is a small growing tree , but an early and profuse bcaror. The fruit Is not quito so largo as the Wild Geese , firm and of good quality. Would suit many bettor than the for- mor. It is a greenish yellow plum with a shading of red. Ripona from the 10th to the 15th of August. The Pottawiitamio is tin old plum that 1ms como to the front by its merits and the efforts of enterprising men. It was brought to Macodooia , Potta- wattatnio county , la. , long years ago by Win. Miles , who caino from Illinois. It is probably a socdllngof the Wild Geese , as the twig and Icuf is much like it only much llnor. The fruit is also very sim ilar to it , a little harder , nearly round , of firmer flesh and better quality with a perceptible poach flavor when just right. Skin is very thin and stem long and very Blunder. A good oarlv bcaror. It ripens the latter part of August. The trco found in a plum orchard in Council Bluffs by Mr. Rico , und from which this variety has boon mainly sup plied probably caino from Mr. Miles' farm near Macedonia or from Illinois. I procured this variety first in 1881 by getting sprouts from Mr. Miles. The DoSoto is from northern Wiscon sin , it ripens with the last named vari ety nnd Is about the satno sl/.o and form , but very firm moatod , of the host quality , dark cherry rod , and an early and profuse bearor. Tree a moderate grower. Wolf : Tins is a native of southeast ern Iowa. It is larger than the Wild Geese , perfectly round , very firm , with a very thick skin , quality much llko the Forest Garden or Minor. It is a grower and an immense and very regu lar bcaror. It ripens with the Potta- wattamio. Minor : Is a native of southwestern Wisconsin. It was the first of this list brought to the attention ot fruit men. It is only a shade smaller than the Wild Geese , of the same shape , a dark cherry red , similar in quality to several of this list. Firm moated , a strong grower , ritther slow in coming into bearing , and usually boars much better ' when planted in 'close proximity to other variotios. With ago it botirs im mense crops. It ripens all through the month of September. It is often called Wild Geese , but may bo readily dis tinguished from that variety by its time of ripening. It is ono of the best for all purposes. The above list are all valuable , hardy and reliable ; ought to bo planted liber ally as they succeed where apples will not , and bear much sooner than apples. They are very superior to the ordinary wild' plums in all respects. They are free from bitterness of skin and will suit everybody. A 111 o inr Dairy Ctttto. The natural condition of men and ani mals is health ; the abnormal condition is disease. Yet , strange to say , where wo find ono man earnestly seeking information mation how to best maintain the health of his animals , wo find ton inquiring how to cure disease incident to bad surroundings and bad inuugatnant. aa if discaso wore inevitable and remedies our own salvation. Hygienic conditions arc of far moro importance than reme dies indeed restoring these is often all the remedies indeed restoring these is often all the remedy needed ; and if dairymen would put all their energies of mind into the ollort to provide and maintain all the conditions neces sary to the health of their stock and lot any incidental dis ease generally have 'its course , it would bo money in their pockets. With good cows to begin with , good food , good shelter , clean surroundings , and plenty of clean water and pure air. they might safely defy all ordinary diseases , and leave physio to the dogs. There are certain things incident to maternity that should bo carefully provided Jor nnd the animal treated . accordingly , writes T. D. C. in the Nebraska Farmer. Many of the troubles with the udder have their foundation laid when the cow Is dried off. Great euro should bo taken - ken , therefore , that no infhimmation or obstruction , caused by the failure of ab sorption of the lingering secretions of milk , is permitted to come on with its painful after consequences. Study in every way to preserve the health of your cows and you will have little cause to seek remedies for disease. Do not expect them to maintain perfect health in an atmosuhoro in which you could not live yourself with entire safety. A. Mule Has n Coir. At the Boar creek ranch of County Commissioner Dyer a inaro mule that has boon about the place fouled a colt , says the Cheyenne Loader. The progeny - gony Is now about a week old , poems healthy and will doubtless livo. It is a pinto in color nnd has the outward physical characteristics of the mulo. The mother is very proud and cares for the colt properly. A Norman stallion is the siro. This is the lirst instance in Wyoming of a mule foaling and has attracted the attention of the ranchmen in the Bear crook country. A gentleman who knows about nil worth knowing on the subject of horse breeding says that ono other mare mule has foaled since the world began. This animal is in the zoological garden at Paris and has twice become a mothor. Ilor colts are driven to a phaoton. Mr. Dyer says ho will bring the strati go animal to town for the fair , but As the news of its birth was telegraphed broadcast last night ho will doubtless receive an olTor for the animal before that timo. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Furm Notes. Do not feed the soft corn to the pigs yet , Give it to the hens to pick over. This is the season for hatching the bantam chicks if you wish them to be as small as possible , In driving horses on the road lot them drink at every opportunity ; a dozen times a day is not too ofton. Clover hay can boused to ndvuntaga as summer feed if the crop is largo , Hay should not bo sold but fed on the farm. Dahlias fall to the ground if the growth is rank. To grow them prop erly they should bo planted In clusters with a wire on the outside , The Kansas man who made 1,000 bar rels of vinegar from twenty acres of watermelons und sold the vinegar for 810 a barrel bos founded a new and val uable Industry , llo haa also shown that the best way to nvold crumps from wa termelons Is to con vert the melons into vinegar. Running roses must bo tied up to the supports as fast as they send out shoots. They do not climb , but must bo fastened in placo. As soon as the poach and pear crops are off cultivate among the trees to kill out the grass nnd weeds , in order to save labor next year. Next month lawn grass seeds may bo sown for the spring crop of lawn grass. Spade the ground well nnd ruko the seed In , but cover very lightly. As soon as the sweet corn becomes too hard for family use the stalks should bo cut down , as the fodder is then In the best possible condition for stock. In saving tomato seed select the larg est , smoothest and ripest spooimons , and reject all that are not solid By so doing they will improve in quality each season. Do not store boots , carrots nnd pars nips until the weather becomes quito cool. All root crops can endure a slight frost , nnd kcop best when storoa Into in the season. It costs less to raise a colt than maybe bo supposed. Thocoltrequirosattcntion { , however , as it must bo currlud and prop erly stabled , but with plenty of pasture but little other food is required , except an allowance of grain daily. If well- bred the colt should bring a good price when three years old. The silo has brought now revelations to us and given us a value in fodder corn that wo have never had before ; at least , it has called our attention to it in a way that wo have never had It called to us before , so that wo have now begun to make a study of fodder corn , and what it may do for us in the way of giving us cheaper and better rations for cattlo. A Florida paper tolls how n snako- bitten horse was cured : "j .bout two weeks ago J. W. Gorald's mare was bit ten by a snake in his grove , on Lake Harris , supposed to have boon a mecca sin. The mare had spasms , and the first night after being bitten charged all over the grove on a dead run. She then swelled until her hide was as tight as a drum head. Mr. Gerald triud three remedies nnd cured her ; a strong , hot salt bath drenched with tobacco tea , nnd with a tea mndo from the moss which grows on the north side of forest trees. The mare was sick twelve days. Something to Romomnor.

Spiritualism in Buffalo has received u black eye from which it will hardly re cover. At the house of Mrs. L. A. Ladd , on Niagara street , two of the leading mediums of the country , Mr. and Mrs. Cobb , have for some time been stopping as guests , having been invited there directly after the close of the four days'mooting at Carsadage lake. Mrs. Ladd is not a spiritualist , but she was greatly at tracted by the novelty of their manifes tations notably by a laco-making spirit generated by Mrs. Cobb , which carried all hearts by storm. Numerous Buffalo mediums had cither scon or hoard of this spirit , and there was the liveliest kind of curiosity mani fested on every hand to see it. At last Mrs. Cobb consented to give u manifes tation of the spirit , and the dark circle was arranged at the houso. Among about twenty who were present was William . Baker , a well known photographer ; with a Kodak ca mera , a flash light , and ac companied by John Vincent , a de tective. Mrs. Cobb entered the cabinet nnd was bound hand and foot. Then the spirit appeared and began weaving luminous Ince , whereupon there was a flash , a shriek , a struggle , and the cabi net was knocked completely over , the lights were turned out , nnd Vincent was found seated amid the ruins clasp ing Mrs. Cobb , who was dressed in nothing but mosquito netting , nnd hud a luminous string of phosphorescent Hamburg in her hands. A dummy lay in ruins beneath thorn. The company contained a few genuine spiritualists , but all were equally wild with indigna tion at the fraud , and the two wcro not released till they had signed n state ment confessing thomsolvcs frauds. Mrs. Cobb wont into convulsions , but was quickly brought around by a mtig- notio shock from a battery. They belong - long in Mentor , O. , whore they huvo now returned.

[ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] Wheat was dull and steady pt some recovery from yesterday's ' closing range. Several times during the ( lav the market acted tit though it might "dip" on small provocation , but the supporting power was too strong and the expectations of lower prices ended in n disappointment. Cables were generally steady , but in European and Hritlsb markets Saturday is an nil day nnd little business for foreign account was dona In any of the American markets. The sale of 100,000 , bushels for export was reported from Duluth , however , und lake engagement1 ! were reported hero for 140,000 bushels. Atlantic port clearances for the woolc canto at 430,000 buthels of wheat and 100,000 packages of flour. The export movement Is not what It should bo , though high ocean freights may explain why the property does not go out us ranldly us could bo desired. In the west the increase In the movement of both spring nnd winter wheat Is foreshadowed. F.irmo-s' deliveries in the northwest are fren , but wheat does not cotno to the front. Very fo w mills can report nn accumulation of cash wheat ahead of the grindlnga to any extent , and the popular fooling In the northwest is far from bearish. Young and others got dis patches from the far northwest thutMmiitoba elevators had marked up the prleu of wheat in that province bo per bushel. This wus such an extraordinary statement us to Ht.iggor their credulltv. but cuntlrmutlvo dispatches were received tutor , accompanied with the explanation that the Canadian mil lers despaired of getting supplies of Mani toba any other way. Montro.il millers lire working on Toledo whoat. It is quito probable that the Manitoba elevator people started In the season with prices too low to attract any wheat , and that they were forced to advance their llirnros before the farmers would lot go their grain. "It maybe bo "n compulsory readjustment of values to a proper basis rather than an advance , in thu usuul acceptation of the tnrni , " was the way a cautions gram mer chant explained the be Jump. In any event the incident goes to show that consumers of Manitoba wheat realize that * the only way they could hope to obtain Immediate supplies was to p.iy u good price for the gr.vin. Among the bearish influences at work were the reflections on the lightness of thu export movement and estimates of 2.000,000 hushols decrease in the visible supply on Monday. Small stocks in sight , as compared with other years , constituted an offset to these items , however , and the leadl'g crowd operated very cautiously on the short sido. December wheat opened at 7UX@7U ? c , advanced to SOc and sold down to f'J &i c. This was practically the bottom tom , though once the price pot down to 79)fo momentarily. From 12 o'clock until the close the market hardened , nnd shortly before fore the tap ot the boll SO@SOfo ( was paid for December. The last quotation was _ 8'c ' ) , September opened at 79p , ranged to 79u and closed nt 78Xc. May opened n sold up to 83 } c , baclt to 836 , * up to 83 ' _ which was the close. Yesterday's net depre ciation was regained iiml'llie market closed firm at only 12e under the best prices of the week. The corn market wus again very weak nnd prices had u still further uccllna in the fuco of some good buying by prominent operators. Receipts wore not far from the previous day's estimates and for Monday 7S3 cars wore calculated to show up on the inspection sheet. The export clearances wcro fair and the demand at the seaboard was reported to bo good. Shippers also were taking hold freely , but of course took full advan tage of the decline in futures to buy for less money than on the previous day. Receivers were observed to bo free sellers of October , which was the weakest future on the list. At the opening there was an ap parent steadiness , prices showing some in clination to rest near yesterday's closing figures , but this was of short duration The longs took advantage of the market to sell out , and shorts also soon supplied buyers with moro than they could take. A firmer feeling in wheat towards the close gave the market sonic sympathetic strength , which closed it at a recovery of about $ 0 from the bottom figures , September resting at Sic and October at 31c. Oats uro quiet with values denominated largely by corn und tending to weakness.
