A Variety of ltems on Agri- oultural Topics. Cost of Seed Wheat—Preparing for Barly Spring Work, Important Information Falrmount Bulletin As we intimated last week wo now further information to furnish ders regarding the seed wheat question. Mr. 8. W, Good wrote to the firm of Moree Sammis, Minne- apolis, making inquiries as to price, ete.,and on the 7th he received a re- ply giving the following particulars, ‘At present the market price of No. 1 wheat delivered on board the train in bulk is $1 46 per bushel. If sacked, the sacks will cost 19 or 20 cents each, and the sacking 1 cent per bushel. The special rate tor trans- portation assured by the C., St. P, & M. and B. & M. is 35 cents per cwt. from Minneapolis to Fairmont. Now you have the figures from first to last and can act accordingly. The whoat mentioned, and of which a sample has been sent to Mr. Geod, is of the fife variety, and guaranteed to be as pure as can be found in the Minne- apolis market. hav our 1 A Little of Everything. Columbus Journal, The Journal has little faith in weather prophets, but bolieves in mixing farming and stock raising, with good seeds and breeds. Doubt- less there are men who can make wheat raising pay unearly every year, but their methods are not generally known, or, if known, not generally followed. ~ Our experience is that early variaties 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 Pross. We wish to say a few words to the farmer about chintz bugs. Last year certain farmers living in the county burnt their corn and wheat fields over, they having discovered that the in- scet laid its eggs in the hollow part of the stalk wheat stubble, and even 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 neighbers were troubled more or lese. We may not be right in our view of the matter, but we believe that as this insect is not such of a tiaveler, and as shown by the statement of several, lives and lays its eggs in the hollow stems of vegetatiun, that every farmer should burn his land off; and though contrary to law, we believe it the only way to check the increased ravages of this pest. Great card should be taken to have good fire guards, 80 as to keep the fire under control. Important to Sheepmen. Laramie Boom.rang. Peter Johnson, of Red Butte, one of the largest sheep owners on the Laramic plains, met 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 Shecp Dip, and carelessly left one package of the dip in the corral where they could get at it. As soon as they got a taste they began fighting for it, eating it like salt. He took it away from them, thinking it was poisonous, and he 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, Selecting Breeds of Swine. J. W. Crist at Farmers' Institute. I would select a hog that has full deep hams, straight back, broad deep shoulders with great girth,anda heavy jowl, to which should be added good length, a short neat head, and a small muzzle. A hog having these characteristics will fatten at almost any age desired, say from ten months up. I do not not think that in this country it is desirable to put a hog into market before 10 to 12 months of age. Nor do I think it profitable to keep a hog till twice that age. T remember that 20 years ago, a hog was mnot considered to have arrived at hog's estate till two years old, and attan an avoirdupois of 500 to 600 pounds, and that beeves could not be fattened till four or five years old. But farmers have become wiser in these matters with the experience of years, and have brought hog breed ing to such a state of perfection that we have to-day nearly the ideal hog, That swine growing is profitable, there can be no question. Nebraska is emphatically a corn growing coun- try, and is at the same time distant from eastern markets, and subject to the extortions of railroads; and un- der this state of affairs we must look to the hog as the “con- denser” of our vast corn crops, and at the same time the fertilizer ot our fields. T have heard shrewd old farm- ers in Ohio say that they considered corn fed into hogs on the fields worth from three to five cents per bushel, in the value of the return made to the eoil. Asto the question of over pro- duction, it is only necessary to state that the hog crop of 1880 showed a falling off from the preceding year, and that the crop of 1881 was about one million short of the crop of 1880, The demand for the product increases year by year, and it 1s not likely that in the near future, at least, that hogs will bring less than their cost of pro- duction, 1f managed properly. Green Feed in Winter, The editor of the American Poultry Record has a novel way of securing a supply of green feed for fowls in win- ter. Hesays: Where a variety of food is fed, which is the only way to secure health and a good return in egy production, every alternate day is suf- ficient for green food and no better plan than the following is vogue for fresh nutritious “‘greer Take two boxes and sufficient clean sand to fill them, and every altern- ate day fill one box with tle sand and healthy corn, oats and wheat thoroughly mixed and wet, and stand it in a warm place by the stove and in four days the grain will be well germinated and rooted; the sand may be sifted from the grain or sepa- rated in any other way most conven- 1.JE OMAHA DAILY REE 'l‘lll]_]@‘l.)A‘.’A. FESRuARY 16 ient to the operator. The grain will be found to make the very best green food for winter. For small flocks this plan would no doubt answer the pur pose, but the boxes would have to be immense that would supply enough green food for a flock of one hundred hearty Brahmas, Cochins or Ply mouth Rocks. Fenoing Hog Pastures. One hundred dollars will furnish material to enclose with a 3 board fence about 10 acres — suflicient to af ford fair pasturage in ordinary seasons for 40 to 50 head of hogs, thus costing only about $2.00 per head; and as such enclosure will last at least five years, it will readily be scen that the is trifling compared to the gaine which are a saving of feed and botter their hogs, One hundred and fifty dollars will at the same rate enclose more than twenty acres, suflicient to graze 100 head of hogs. I do mnot think that our wild prairie grasses are of much value as & hog pasture—it soon becomes too tough for them Any of the tame grasses are much bet ter.—[J, W, Crist. Warm Milk &8 a Boverage, Medical Record. Milk heated to much above 10 do- grees I lose for a time a degreeofits sweotnoss and its density. No one who, fatigued by over-exertion of body or mind, has sver experienced the reviving influence of a tumbler of this beverage, heated as hot asit can be sipped, will willingly forego a resort to 1t because of 1ts having been rendered somowhat less acceptable to the palate. The prompt- ness with which its cordial influence 18 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 simple draught an equivalent that shall be abundantly satisfying, and far more enduring in its effects. ebils, -y Tobacco Seed to the Acre. The Cincinnati Tobacco Jour.al, 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 erain we found by actual count 1,494 seed. This would make, by multiply- ing by 480, the number of grains in an ounce, 717,170 seed to the ounce and 8,605,440 seed to the pound. Estimating 5,000 pounds to the acre and supposing every seed will make a plant every half ounce will plant nearly 72 acres, an ounco 144 acres, and one pound 1,721 acred. As many farmers are contemplating planting largely this seacon we recommend a careful study of these figures. Miscellaneous. Separate all breeding ewes irom the other sheep in the flock now until af- ter lambing. It is a mistake to allow sows to breed before they are at least a year old, a& they are not then sufticiently matured, and pigs from suchare some- times too weak to live. For ordinary work a horse of aver- age size should be fed 12 poands of oats or other grain food, and 16 to 18 pounds of good hay; but, 1f 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 lamb 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 come, followed by the other sheep. In cold weather oggs for hatching should be collected daily. They freeze easily when exposed, but wiil retain vitality for several weeks if gathered as soon as laid and then kept at a uniform temperature, If it is desired to change bees from one locality to another the hives and boxes should be gotten ‘ready for use now. Bees should be changed before they are ready to fly out and become accustomed to the new locality. Fine flowers require thoroughly rot- ted manure and wood mould mixed, and tomato or other early plants can be grown in boxes, ai afterward tsansplanted with better results with such a mixture, Chas. E. Morse raised on 140 acres an average of 56 busnels of corn to the acre. Thirty acres of it was planted on the 1st day of June, owing to wet groungl, and on thirty more the stand was poor, owing to the defective seed; fifteen acres averaged eighty-three bushels to the acre.—[Columbus Jour- nal, In feeding, farmers should remem- brr that the measure of the value of a food is in a great degree detor- mined by its price. If hay is worth $10 per ton and corn the same price, feed largely of corn, using only hay enough to distend the stomachs of the anuals, Our sheep men report their flocks in splendid condition. Only in one or two instances have we heard of any serious loss, which is directly traceable to neg ligence in feeding or other unnecessary cou ses.— Webster count y Argus, A good and successful farmer in- formed us the other day that he al- ways soaked his wheat before sowin, in blue vitri ol and ealt. It would do no harm for more of our farmers to try the experiment.—Johuson county Journal. —_— The Law of Kindness Is universal; it affects all the humanm family, all animals, and may be even foumd in pat'nt medicines, Some are drastio, and the patient is obliged to suffer pains worse than the disease; bus in cases of ob- stinate constipation, dyspepsia, there i no remedy g0 kind, so gentle in its effects, and vet so satisfactory, as BukDock Broon Birtews.

Brooklyn Eagle, “‘My dear,” queried Mr. Spoopen- dyke, “did you put those oysters on the cellar floor with the round ehells down, as I told you tol” I did most of 'em,” replied Mre, Spoopendyke. “Some of "em wouldn't stay that way. They turned mght over,” ‘‘Must have been extraordinary iu- telligent oysters,” muttered Mr Spoopendyke, eyeing her with suspi- cion, “Didn’t any of 'em stand upon eud and ask for the morming paper, did they?" “You know what 1 mean,” flut- tered Mrs. Spoopendyke. “They tipped over sideways, aud so I laid them on the flat shell.” “That's gright,” grunted Mr. 8} 00- pendyke. “You want to give an tor his own way, or you'll hurt his foolings. Suppose you bring me some of those gifted oysters and an oyster knife, and we'll eat 'em.’ Mrs. Spoopendyke hurried away, and pattered back with the feast duly set out on a tea-waiter, which she set hefore Mr. Spoopendyke with a flous- ish, ““Now," said she, drawing up her sowing chair, and resting her elbows on her knees and her chin on her hands, ““When you get all you want, you may open me some.”’ Mr, Spoopendyke whirled the knife around his head and brought it down with & sharp crack. Thon he clipped away at the end for a moment, and jabbed at what ho supposed was the opening. The knife slipped and ploughed the bark of his thumb, “Won't come open, won't ye!" he snorted, fetching it another lick, and jabbing away again. “Haven't com- pleted your census of who's out here working at yo, have ye!” and he brought it another whack. “‘P'raps ye think I haven't fully made up my mind to inquire within, don't yel" and he rammed the point of the knife at it, knocking the skin off his knucklo. “‘That isn't the way to open an oyster,” suguested Mrs, Spoopendyke. “‘Look here,” roared Mr. Spoopen- e, turning fiercely on his wife. “Have you got any private under: standing with the oyster! Has the oyster confided in you the particular vay in which he wants to be opened?” “No-o! ' stammered Mra, Spoopen- dyke “Ouly I thought—" “This is no time for thought!” shouted Mr. Spoopendyke, banging away at the edge ot the shell. “This is the moment for battle, and if I've happened to catch the oyster during office hours, he's going to enter into relations with the undersigned Come out, will ye?” ho yelled as the knife flow up his sleove.” *‘Maybe ye don't recognize the voice of Spoopen dyke! Come out ye dod gasted coward, before yo make an_enemy of me for life!” and he belted away at the shell with the handle of the knife, and spattered mud like a dredging machine. ‘*Let mo get you a hammoer to crack him with,” recommended Mrs. Spoop- enkyke, hovering over her husband in great perturbation. ‘‘Don’t want any hammer!"” howled Mr. Spoopendyke, slanming around with his knife. “S'posc 1'm going to use brute force on u dod gasted fish that 1 could swallow alive if 1 could only get him out of his house? Open your measly premises!” raved Mr. Spoopendyke, stabbivg at the oyster vindictively, and shemg his shirt sleeve clear to the elbow. ‘‘Come forth and enjoy the society of Spoop- enkyke!” and the worthy gentleman foamed at the mouth as he sunk back in his chair and contemplated his stub- born foe with glaring eyes. ““I'll tell you what todo!” exclaimed Mrs. Spoopendyke; radiant with a profound idea. **Crack him in the door!” “That’s the scheme!” grinned Mr. poopendyke, with horrible contor- tions of visage. ‘‘Fetch me the door. Set that door right before me on a late. The oyster is gomng to stay ere. If youthink this oyster is go- ing to enjoy any changeof climate un- til he strikes the tropics of Spoopen- dyke, you don’t know the domestic habits of shell fish. Loose your hold!” tquenled Mr, Spoopendyke, returning to the charge, and fetching the bivalve a prodigious whack. ‘‘Come into the outer world, where all is gay and beau- tiful. Come out and let me introduce you to my wife,” and Mr. Spoopen- dyke laid the oyster on the arm ef his chair, and slugged him remorselessly. “‘Wait!"” squealed Mrs. Spoopen- dyke, ‘‘here’s one with his mouth open!” and she pointed cautiously at a gaping oyster who had evidently taken down the ehutters to see what the row was about. “Don't care & dod gasted nickel with a hole in it!” {m»tuncd Mr. Spoopendyke, thoroughly impatient. *‘Here's one that's going to open his mouth, or the resurrection will find him still wrestling with the ostensi- ble head of this family. Ow!"” and Mr. Spoopendyko having rammed the knife into the palm of his hand, slam- med the oyster against the chimney- piece, where it was shattered, and danced around the room, wriggling with wrath and agony. “Never mind the oysters, dear,” cried Mrs. Spoopendyke, following him around and trying to disengage his wounded hand from his armpit. ““Who's minding 'em?” roared Mr, Spoopendyke, standing on one leg and bending up double. “I tell ye that when 1 start to inflict discipline on a narrow minded oyster that won't either accept an invitation or send regrots, he's going to mind me! Where's the oyster! Show , wme the oyster! Arraign the oyster!” “Upon my word, you've opened him, " giggflxd Mrs. Spoopendyke, picking the AInT&Id bivalve between the tips of her themb and forefinger. “Won't have him!” sniffed 3 Spuo'Pundyke, eyeing the breken shell and fi ring his defeated encmy into the “Tf T can't go im the front or of an oyster, I'm not going down the scuttle!
