••GOING FOR" GOVERNMENT SEEDS.
Governnu :it fri c seeds gets a severe
whack from a correspondent In Practical
Farmer. He cites an experience with an
alleged "Turkey red" wheat frcm the
LTtroent that gave the sower "three
varieties of wheat and a goodly amount
of rye." Another paper. National Stock

ernment seeds they can—the more the
better—and feed them to the chickens.
It is asserted that some of the worst In

distributed by the government. Govern

MISLEADING OFFICIAL REPORTS.
What misleading things official reports
. are! In the Monthly Summary of
Commerce and r inance of the United
States the wholesale prices of many
rtaple commodities are given, and among
them the prices of cattle for the year. In
the tables cattle ore divided Into three
classes—"native steers," "Texas steers,"
and "cow:-." The prices at the- Chicago
stock yards for three or four days in each
rionth are given, and in every case it is
the outside or top price of each day for
each class. For instance, the record for
one day is hereby given. The receipts of
cattle were oi.^'o head, and the quota
tions for that c2c.y are, for native steers,
c 7; for Texas st ers, $4-10; for cows, 51.65.

a correct conception of the value of the
cattle of the cour nor
do the figures for any ether day in the
year; and yet it is such figures that are
used to demonstrate the prosperity of
farmers, and the same figures are used
probably at the end of the year in esti

country at that time, and also in comput

FEEDING ON A LARGE! SCALE.
Perhaps tha biggest cattle feeding con
cern in the world is that of the Standard
Cattle company, of Ames, Nebraska.
This company owns 5,000 acres and rents
l,of# more to raise food for the cattle it
-. This work began ten years ago
»?£th 0 head, and in the winter
>? 1897-91 . 100 were fed. The prin
cipal food is corn, raised on their own
Sand lasc year at a cost of 16 cents a
bushel, the yield from 2,217 acre? being
41 bushels per acre. There is or.c large
barr. set, in which 3,000 head are
fed. The cattle are not tied by the neck,
but are shut up loose in small pens with
m to move, but rot to turn in. From
ten years' experience a good deal is
learned. In the first winter, 1886-S7, tha
cattle were fed 151 days for a gain in
weight of ISS pounds, less than one pound |
live weight per day. L«.-=t year they fed i
201 days for a gain of 257 pounds per tv^ad. j
A litle over 1'- 6 pounds per d;iy is about
ihe gain made over the whole time, but
it must be noted that these are all range
steers from Texas, Montana and Wyom
ing, pei haps roughly bred and bound to
unkindly t- confinement of any sort.
Besides these fed in the sti.bles < ver 6,00)
more are fed in open lots, about 30""i head
in iino lot. The whole lot used to b? de
horned, but t to be fed in the
house this practice will be given up, as
it entails a loss of about a month's feed,
besides the fact that healing is some
times very si. >\v. Tha cattle have water
in front of them and feed troughs from
which two rows of cattle eat. Abaut
fifteen pounds corn and ten pounds hay,
with from four to seven bushels of oil
cake, in the season, are fed in three j
meals dally to the indoor lot. Those that
run out, eat a good deal more and are
the most profitable.
A NT!-WORRY RE( iPE.
As Christmas means work and often j
worry to the good house mother, 1 ap
pend a verse for the special benefit o£
those who half dread the expected holi
day because of the extra burdens it
brings with it:
Do you wish a recipe 'or preventing all
worry ?
For giving composure and freedom from
hurry?
Just think of one fact which is true, you
will find,
When anything happens to flurry your
mind
First, something or nothing there is to
be done;
First, nothing or something, that's clear
as the sun;
If something, then do it and make no
deiay;
If nothing, all thought of it cast far
away.
This simplest of rules if you will only
obey.
Will free you from wrinkles for many
a day." *
DOES IT PAY TO THRESH OATS t
Hoard's Dairyman.
Does it pay to thresh oats to feed stock
in winter that are between six months
and a year old, when it costs nearly four
cents a bushel to thresh them and about
three and one-half cents a bushel to get
them ground ready to feed?
Answer—This question was discussed
at the last meeting of the Wisconsin
Dairymen's association, and Mr. Charles
Thorpe said: I can get the best results
of all from oats, and I like to feed them
unthresherl to any kind of stock. We
as farmers are doing too much work; we
are at toe much expense to get this feed
before our animals. If we thresh those
I
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1899.
oats we have got to grind them, and
that entails another expense. If we
thresh them in the fall we have got to
send all our help around to the neigh
bors to pay back the threshing bills just
exactly at a time when we want to do
our work at home. So I am feeding oats
without threshing or grinding. I have
heard folks say it was a wasteful meth
od, but I say it is not. The first thing
the cows get hold of is the head; they
have got to chew that, and before they
get through there is no more waste than
in any other feed. I have been feeding
all my stock the past two years that
way, and my horses never looked better.
I have fed them oats in the bundle. They
have their bedding, their grain and their
bay all together, and all they have got
to do is to throw it out when they get
through. If you are putting up oats to
keep for hay build a foundation just as
you would for a corncrib and put pans
over your posts; stack up the oats in
long ricks. 12 by £0, widen them out and
cover them with boards, and you won't
be troubled with mice. If you just
stack them, cover them up.
WHY RECOMMEND BRAXf
"A Cattle Feeder, of Minnesota." writes
to the Farm, Stock and Home:
"Why do you reccommend bran so
much for feeding? Are you working in
the interest of the millers? It almost
seems so. You must know that bran is
high out of all proportion to the price
of wheat, and if I had my way not a
pound of it would be fed until the price
comes down to somewhere near what It
ought to be."
Answer—The only effect of the insinua
tion in above was to.threaten the lat
ter's consignment to the waste basket;
but it was finally thought best to answer
it courteously and in good faith. Bran is
too high, as measured by the price of
wheat, but it evidently is not regarded
too high as measured by its value in sup
plementing other feed stuffs, or else it
would not sell. Since It is selling-, and
millers find themselves sold ahead on it,
it is not surprising that they get a big, or
even an unreasonable, price for it. Our
correspondent would probably do the
same thing if he had an opportunity.
But the question of why we recommend
bran is answered in the recommendation
itself. The cost of a ration is given in
rly every instance where bran is re
ferred to, with and without bran, and in
proportion to its value for the purpose
named bran is always found to cheapen
the cost. The recommending of bran is
based on practical experience, and is
known to be helpful when fed with the
cheap and abundant carbonaceous feeds
of this region, that is the reason.
Further justification for the recommen
dation is found in countries where braa
is more freely fed than here, though its
price is more than double our price. In
England, for instance, bran was seen
selling to cattle feeders this summer at
$25 a ton. it was going to dairymen
mostly, and butter was selling at the
same time for but little more than in this
country. l n Holland the price was about
the same, and in neither country can
farmers afford to buy any kind of feed
that does not repay the feeder; in fact,
they are quite sure that any kind of feed
they buy is necessary to the highest at
tainable profit or else they will not buy
it. And if the price named pays there, it
seems a reasonable inference that it will
pay here at the price asked for.
LARGEST PEACH—LARGEST APPLE.
Denver Republican.
The biggest peach in the world is beside
the biggest apple in the world at the
state house, in Denver, Col. At least, the
records show no larger specimens than
these, and Mrs. Shute, secretary of the
horticultural society, will hold them as
record-breakers until one "shows
her," although she is not from Missouri.
The fruit was grown on a farm in Monte
zvma county, and until measured, it was
not known that the apple, which attract
ed so much attention in the recent street
fair, was the companion of a record
breaking peach. The latter arrived only
last Friday, and Is now embalmed at the
capitol. The apple was displayed yester
day. The peach is of a rich color. It is
four and one-fourth inches in diameter,
nearly round, and weighs twenty-one
ounces. The apple Is much larger than
the peach, but only half an ounce heavier.
The apple measures five inches through
one way and four and one-half another,
it is of the Wolf river variety. The
weight is little more than that of the
peach, because apples carry less moisture.
The moisture in peaches makes them out
weigh apples of a corresponding size. This
apple was exhibited by J. D. Hall, of
Ccrtez. Montezuma county. the street
fair, with a number of other large speci
mens, but until recently it was not meas
ured and weighed. He is also the contrib
utor of the peach.
PIE PLAM IX WINTER.
Transfer a few roots to a dark corner
of the cellar after they have frozen ln
the fall, packing a little fine mellow earth
about them, and then simply see that the
plants are kept moist. Whoever owns a
garden wirh no rhubarb In it should see
that some is planted there forthwith.
A warm cellar will hasten the crop,
but a moderately cool one will give a
fine product and probably a better yield.
The length of time between planting and
harvesting varies from less than three
weeks to more than two months, depend
ing chiefly upon the temperature. Allow
ing the roots to freeze in the field will
greatly facilitate forcing. Large roots
should yield five to ten pounds per plant,
and every ten ounces of that yield will
make a delicious pie. The color of the
cooked product will be much brighter if
it Is placed upon the stove in cold water,
and it will be sweeter if the sugar is
added just before it is eaten.
ITEMS ABOUT HOGS.
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF HOGS.
There seems to be a solid basis for the
advance. While the production of meats
has increased far more, showing that
there is a very brisk, strong demand for
hog products the world over. The export
clearances, for example, of pork week be
fore last were 757,000 pounds, as compared
with 680,000 pounds the corresponding
k last year. There Is an increase of
3,000,000 pounds in bacon, 8,000.000 pounds
in lard, and the total product exported
the fame week was 29.522,000 pounds as
against 28,243,000 pounds a year ago. it is
this that Is putting the money in hogs
and causing a splendid feeling all over
the hog growing country. We are glad to
it. There has been less advance in
the price of hogs and hog products in
the last two years than in any other pro
duct of the farm. Naturally "so, because
hog products are less perishab'e and can
be stored with greater safety; hence, dur
ing the dull times an increasing supply
on hand.—Swine Breeder.
PIG-RAISIHG BY HAND.
Dr. Whitman H. Jordan, director of the
Geneva -station, has, according to the
newspapers, invented a contrivance by
means of which young pigs can dispense
with the services of their mother imme
diately after birth. A registered Duroc
BOW gave birth to a litter of pigs at the
station. The mother was taken violently
ill and was unable to suckle her offspring
after the first day. A small tank was
mado, which had a sufficient number of
outlets at the bottom and six inches
above the floor to allot one to each pig.
A small tube of galvanized iron, covered
with cork, was inserted in each of the
outlets. An ordinary nurse bottle rubber
! nipple was attached to the outer end of

NEXT SPRING'S LITTER.
Indiana Farmer.
The wide awake breeder will have hl3
mating carefully planned In this month
for his March and April pig crop, of 1900,
by fiirst carefully weeding out all unde
sirable animals from his herd and fat
tening them for the butcher. All those
retained in the herd, as breeders, should
be of good size, but not rough or coarse,
and should be of the quick growthy sort,
and of families having a fixed type. They
should be of strong, vigorous constitu
tions and from prolific ancestry, and as
far as practical select mature animals.
The brood sows should have a well bal
anced food during the winter, such as
shorts, bran and oats, together with some
sugar beets or other vegetable matter,
carefully avoiding an all corn diet. They
should have diy, comfortable quarters,
with plenty of room for exercise. If these
precautions are taken and proper pro
vision made to receive and care for the
pigs, next March and April we will hear
much less about small or weak litters or
losses at farrowing time.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
RO.VST TURKEY.
A turkey weighing not more than eight
or nine pounds (young) Is the best. Wa3h
and clean thoroughly, wiping dry, as
moisture will spoil the stuffing. Take one
small loaf of bread, grated fine; rub into
it a piece of butter the size of an egg,
one small teaspoon of pepper and one
of salt; sage, if liked. Rub all together
and fill only the breast of the turkey,
sewing up so that the stuffing cannot
cook out. Always put the' giblets under
the side of the fowl, so they will not
dry up. Rub salt and pepper on the out
side; put into the dripping pan with one
teacup of water, basting often, turning it
till brown all over. Bake about three
hours. Have left in the chopping bowl a
little stuffing; take ouv the giblets and
chop fine. After taking out the turkey
put In a large tablespoon of flour; stir
until brown. Put the giblets into a gravy
boat and poor over them the gravy.
TURKEY WITH OYSTERS.
For a ten-pound turkey take two pints
of bread crumbs, half a teacupful of but
ter cut in bits (not melted), one tea
spoonful of powdered thyme or summer
savory, pepper and salt, and mix thor
oughly. Rub the turkey well inside and
out with salt and pepper, then fill with
first a spoonful of crumbs, then a few
well drained oysters, using half a can for
a turkey. Strain the oyster liquor and
use to baste the turkey. Cook the giblets
in the pan, and chop fine for the gravy.
A fowl of this size will require three
hours in a moderate ovfti.
OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN PIE.
Take two full-grown chickens, joint
them and cut the backbone, etc., as small
as convenient; boil them with a few slic
es of salt pork in water enough to cover
them; let them boll quite tender, then
take out the breastbone; after they boil
and the scum Is taken off put in a little
onion cut Very fine, not enough to taste
distinctly, but just enough to flavor a
little; add some parsley finely chopped,

HOW TO FRESHEN CHIFFON.
New York Post.
Chiffon can be made to look like new
by being carefully steamed, but ie must
iirst be very evenly pinned upon a box
lid, length by length, to get the desired
result. It takes time to pin and unpin
agaJn, but unless this is done the edge
will be wavy and uneven. If it ia to be
used in a way that the edge will not
show, then a quicker method to accom
plish the result is to hoM it stretched
tightly between the hands. Crepe is even
more satisfactory when renovated in this
manner, the steam giving it the stiffness
of new material, and also taking out all
the dirt and dust. A veil carefully done
in this way will leave nothing to be de
sired.
