o CARE OF YOUNG HOGS A CRITICAL PERIOD IN THE ANIMAL'S EXISTENCE. Sonic Ideas Concerning Feeding After Harvest The Things That Should lie Avoided and Those Which Should Be Done A Sen si hie View From the Ohio Farmer — A Menu "Weed. A writer in the Ohio Farmer, John K. Xmboboii, tre&ta of the critical period in the j care of > iinu pigs, particularly during the ■ ks vhen the aniii: ■'; arc often turned loose in the harvest lieius to roam for pick- The dancers resulting from 'this prac ti«> arc forcibly pointed out by Mr. Jameson. His views, which arc valuable to all grow- ! er* of swine in the Northwest, are prlm'.cd ■ bek'W in full: • • • We notice In our farm papers on account of an axperlment nuidi' at one of the stations I how the profit in gleaning the grain fields '■■ af er the harvester baa gone over them. Tho i rimentera at the Montana station wore i :.ii t.« do what most all farmers fail to I L'igs from the fields before ! thr 1 gleaning became too short. v. • r:nu nt was no doubt made to show : Whi .'.l from loss on grain fields j that have been harvested by the usual cus and the value of such gleanings to the pl« grower. In the older states it is hardly to five the pig grower a pointer in thih il:p ctii n, for he is usually alive to his Interests. In most nil cases they lay ! 1 ::iuih sore by these gleanings. The ■ r part of August and tho ear'.y part of - is the fanner's time fjr recrea- ; ling the fairs, and it often j I convenient to not commence rcgu- j lar attention and feeding of the pigs til! cv< ry-d:;y fall work begins. As a consequence I th.- : iga on the grain iields are hardly seen but are thought 10 ho doing well, gathering j the waste grain and feeding i.n the young grass. Possibly the ragweeds on many fields ' hide them from view. Wr notice those weeds i are making a fine start on some of the fields \ and there is no meaner weed for a pig to roam through when It is in full bloom. . . . Between the gleaning that gives a full »U':;ir.rh without too great an amount of trav el, and new corn, is the most c»kioal period i f.>r the pigs on too many farms. This pre- | parrs the way for another critical time when . : ■ feed grain. Against both of these mistakes the .Montana experimenters failed to wan: their readers. To this we to call attention. Now is the time In ' the year that the farmer begins to count what h:s pi^i are going to briug him when fi >'. our. Instead of putting the pigs on tho field after harvest and letting them hustle ti:i new grain is ready for them, without any particular attention being given them, the farmer should utilize this new point in ;ho:r lives on a very acceptable bito to give them a strong start In growth. For they certainly maJce a bound in this direction thut should be made the most of instead of letting it re bound to their injury by allowing them to nearly starve between this time of bounty aiid new corn. • • • If the pies are on every-day rations when they go to the stubble fields (and they should these rations should not be stopped en tirely, but give them such an aruaunt as th< y will come ta. The observing farmer I will notice very quickly when the gleanings begin to fail and can gradually int-rcase their By this careful work they escape two critical, dangerous and unprofitable points in th. ir lives. When they run down in flesh ftvm lack of food they p.re unprofitable to their owners, and in danger from disease, and a lank, starved pig is in the worst pos sible condition to be fed new' corn. • • • Another point wo want to call attention to. The time in the season. between the gleaning and new corn, that usually gives the farmer the least return on account of short feed, is the season that they should make the best grain. This season is certainly a most desir able one for the farmer to make a profitable use of by making a good gain. _The recent ralna have flushed the pastures so much that the feeder will not have to guard against constipation, as is too often the case at this time when the weather Is very dry aud the I i>tures brown and short. By good care at I the time that the shoats are too often ne- I glected, they can be made to advance about one month over the usual time of market ing. This :s of much value, as it saves feed ing against much cold weather.— John M. Jamison. The Wheat Markets. Prey. Close. l)av.

Ivicea from the spring wheat region the expectations of continued liberal n <-i;.ts. Some reports were to the effect that the results of threshing were disappointing but such rrports did not disturb the general ' impression that a spring v.-hrat crop has b en raised exceeding in bulk the crop of any I a 5 in. i The .1 "ir>ts at Western primary ' mark*-;? was 971,000 tut. against 985,000 bu on ling day of 1597.

The early advance was due to heavy buying by shorts" and ele vator Interests, on damage claims from Kan sas and Nebraska. Later, however, those re ]i ins were emphatically denied and together with the largo estimates for tomo-row in clined everybody to the selling side The tumble that followed that action left the Ing prices at the low point of the day September opened unchanged at 30^,c ad vanced to M%c, and declined to 29¥.029% c et the ciose. n The firmness of oats was attributed to re ports of considerable damage to that grain 1 the heavy rains.

New York I@2 1% n,m B T YORK . Aug.^T-There were several quite important elements of positive strength JEJrJf °. ck , mark& t today, but the prepon derating Influence of several features and the very heavy profit-taking by large holders fiT"" stocks nullified them. The \^L P *°T T er , c in near 'y every case below those ol last night. The London market fol lowed yesterdays New York opening, and after the opening here sold off, causing a de cline in some of the internationals. The grangers made somej important g^lns in spite of selling for London account, owing to the high level of earnings disclosed by St Paul a statement for the third week in Aul Fi %t c increas « d movement of grain n the Northwest, which has weakened wheat lor the last few days is probably reflected In those earnings, which were $33,358 in ex cess of last year, and over .114,000 in excess or the high level for the corresponding pe riod in 1892. The grain movement though I augmented Is not yet up to last year's level and the large railroad earnings are due to general traffic resulting from the more lib- Sle^fhe o^ yeaT ' 8 Pr ° fitS by th 6 The sharp advance in the grangers at the opening, due to buying by commission nouse3 and bidding up of prices by traders, resulted only in bringing very heavy offers I to realize. There was change of specula- I tive interest from St. Paul and the grangers Into some of the lower-price stocks with div idend prospects. Northern Pacific was most conspicuous in this class, and was ab sorbed in enormous blocks, closing at the top at an advance of 1%. Union Pacific sympa thized in a less degree, but the preferred stocks in neither case were affected The close of the war with the Canadian Pa cific helped to impart strength to the trans continental roads. There was a very largo demand for People's G?.s and marked strength in some individual stocks, but these were not sufficient to offset the persistent profit-taking. Manhattan was weak and closed two points below last night. The New York banks continue to lost money to the subtreasury on account of bond subscriptions, and there is difficulty in ob taining the new bonds to serve as security to the government for the deposits of pub lic funds. There is a decided tendency also towaTUs a falling oft in government dis bursements for war expenses, and the inter ior (remands for money are increasing this week. A fall of %c in the actual price of sterling exchange is suggestive of the source where more prompt relief would come if there was any stringency in money. A cu riooia, result of the financial strength of l^is,- country is the strength of Spanish 4s today. It is current talk in Wall street that American funds are going into thesa bonds in the belief that the Spanish government will find means to secure interest on them by pledging some of the mineral wealth of Sp/Sin. There was marked strength In some of the speculative bonds today, but prices re acted to some extent, in sympathy with the later -weakness in stocks. Total sales, $4,210, --000.

WALL STREET GOSSIP— St. Paul, Aug. 24.— New York stock gossip reported by H. Holbert & Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German-American bank building, St. Paul: 'Post & Flagg wire us: Dealings today were on a fairly largo scale, but were extraor dinarily mixed, the Pacific stocks showing great strength, whereas Manhattan, C. & O. and Big Four were equally weak. This shows a more professional speculation, with less public buying than for some time, for In the various stocks the professional hand was distinctly seen. Weil and Connor are cred ited with having sold the market heavily, most of their stocks, if not all, being short sales. Money shows a somewhat hardening tendency, particularly in time loans, prob ably In anticipation of the movement of the crop, but we feel confident that rates will not advance to any great extent, for should money get fairly active we can easily draw gold from abroad in sufficient amounts to counteract the hardening tendency. As a whole the market was fairly strong, but con siderably less active than of late. Total sales for the day, 505.0C6 shares." FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York, Aug. 24.— The Evening Post's London nnanoial cablegram says: "The stock markets were irregular today, but with a good tone, es pecially for investment slocks, the continued absenco of gold exports to New York hav ing the effect of tightening the money mar ket. It is believed the next settlement will not show much of a bull account here. Grand Trunk was good, trariic receipts being better than was anticipated. There was a sharp advance in Spanish 4s to 4^ on Pjri3 support, and the advance in money In Lon don, which, for the moment, has checked the buying by Spain of silver bars. De teers mines were flat. The new rupee loan offered today in India was a llttla overapplied for, the average price of the allotment, 04%, be ing % above the minimum.
