The near approach of the Seventh Amer

The advocates if the several beef breeds

parative merits of the beef breeds f ir the

The Importance uf making an earnest
effort to insure the exhibition of the best
obtainable specimens of the several breeds
Is duly appreciated by all interested in re
taining and Increasing the popularity and
prestige claimeu for the favoiites.
There are many millions of dollars at
stake in the verdict of the American Fat
Stock Show. All tne appliances of the
skillful breeder and feeder of the several
beef breeds of cattle are directed to tlie
most economical production of beef of the
best quality. The practical Jes.ns of the
Fat JSt.x k Show have been of incalculable
A Season of Low Trice.
The late weather viith which Nature nv.
eraged our cool summer has ripened a crop
of corn that is probably the largest yield
of that productive cereal since the beauti
ful tropical plant was first seen by white
men upon these shores, The corn-fields of
savage husbandry stretched along the river
bottoms and valleys, where the plant could
be fertilized bv tlle fish that swarmed in
the waters. Now the crop waves upon
millions of acres almost from ocean to
ocean, and affords surplus of food that in
its varied forms of pork and beef ministers
to the wants of half the civilized world.
The corn crop of the present vear mav reach
'.',0(10,000,(1110 bushels; it will certaiiilv ex
ceed l,."i(O,0iN).iiii0 bushels. It comes 'w ith
an almost unprecedented crop of wheat;
great crops of oats, rye, barley, potatoes
and mim r vegetables, so that while we
have an ubundance of fooa fanners must
submit to perhaps the lowest prices of the
century.
The" hay crop In Massachusetts was a
very sin rt one. The secretary of the H. mi d
of Agriculture who has reports from all
parts of the state, estimates the hay harvest
at two thirds of an average crop. On old
fields it fell so low that it was scarcely
worm tne cost oi tne Harvest and many
larmer s narns are unit empty. A large
part of our fanners are producers ol milk
for market; nearly all tiie remainder make
i uttter, very tew are keepers of .sheep.
m UK pnxiucers are great purchasers oi corn
and shorts; these farmers will have ample
compensation for their scant hay mows in
the reduced price of meal and mill prod-
nets. Our few shepherds' may have fat
siieep ana "meal mm us" tit a reasonable
cost for grain. At present it looks as
though potatoes would not my a profit to
the patient husbandman. All over the
state is an enormous crop of cabbages,
more than can be eaten by the people with
in reach, during the present season; these
must be fed to cattle, sheep and hogs. Ap
ples will be abundant and of line quality;
it is tu be hoped that the export demand
will help their prices. It is a season of
plenty, and if ju ices are low the poor w ill
lie glad and thousands of men who in these
dull, hard times have little work and small
pay may easier keep the wolf of want from
the door.

Experiments with incubators of 10 dif
ferent makers have been tried by the edi
tor of the Vhicnijii Poultry AVtyV, with the
following reported results:
That the proper heat is 10',' the first
w eek, and 10U till the nineteenth day, when
it should be 101.
That when the heat is kept too high, the
chicks dry in the shell at the time of
hatching.
That chicks w ill come out under a low
temperature, but do not absorb the yolk
properly, and are consequently weak.
That the higher the temperature the
more moisture is required.
That turning the eggs twice a day is sufficient.
That they wfli hatch when turned only
nee a day.
That fresh eggs hatch sooner than those
partially stale.
That the eggs from Asiatics do not stand,
or rather reniiire, as much heat for Incuba
tion as some others.
Uiat a good warm bath to an enfeebled
chick just from the shell, is highly bene
tidal.
i nat no sprinkling oi eggs is necessary
during incubation.
i nat eggs lroui confined fowls are not
always reliable for hatching.
i nai eggs are injured tor hatching iiur-
poses, to a certain extent, by shipping long
instances.
That badly shaped eggs, though some
times hatching, are not reliable.
- Wise Ciiiiiii i-ti. ut rat.
A lady in Norwich concluded 'that fier
three cats were more than the household
needed, and passed an edict of death on
two of them an old cat and her kitten.
The question of the manner of death was
settled and the chloroform was pun-based.
Days passed after the chloroform was in
the house before the executioner could
muster courage to exec ute the sentence.
To facilitate matters the lady thought that
some laudanum added to the cat's milk
would produce a stupor that would make
chloroforming more easy. The drug was
put in the milk aii'l tendered the old cut.
She tasted the food, cast her eyes suspi
ciously about l,er, ;m, refused to eat. The
kitten rushed to the dish to partake of the
milk and was violently knocked away by
the old cat, who took a corner of a mat anil
covered over the dish to hide it from the
kitten and prevent it from tawing the
"medicine.'' The lady could not beliee it
possible that the act was. intentional on the
part of the cat, and uncovered the dish and
again tendered the milk to her. She again
knocked the kitten from the dish and cov
ered it over more carefully than before.
This repetition of the protective act gained
the god w ill of the lady, and she gave up
