According to present indications it will bo but a fow years till Nebraska will be second to none as a fruit producing state. Fremont Herald: The huge feeding barns of the Standard eattle company at Anmes, six miles from Fremont is going up rapidly. The dimensions of the huge structure, when completed, will be 207 feet 8 inches in width, by 652 feet and 11 inches in length; 27 feet high in the cen- ter and 12 feet high at the ‘“‘eaves.”” A solid brick foundation supports the out- side walls, and there are 3,500 stone picrs for the posts which support the roof to rest upon. The roof is notin one continu- slant, but is made m successive | and will be covered first by boards then three ply paper, finishing up with n tar and gravel. The floors with which the building will be cntirely laid, are mostly of 2inch_plank.

The struggle on the plains between the and the shorthoru was short, sharp and decisive. The Hereford won, the fashion changed, more for the sake of achange than for intrinsic merit, But very short lived was the reign of the Hereford. The black polled bulls of the hills of Scotland demanded recognition. Their color, their hornless heads, their apparent hardiness and excellence soon gained them the notice of men who again desired a change, and to-duy the Polled Angus and the Galloway are the choice of the breeders of cattle on the plain Time will tell what the will be.

Leave plenty of potato to your potato- eye if yon want strong plants. The Savoy dramhead eabbago is one of the best late varities ever cultivated The desideratum of this country is the merino sheep bred to a mutton standard. It is a good plan to have two sels of roosting poles for the hens, and clm»g'v them each sweek, setting them outside when not in use. Remember,itis the appearance of goods that sclls them. Nice, large, fat, plump, white turkeys, ducks, chicks or geese always bring outside prices. mall chickens should never bo kept or with old ones, they are apt to be in- jured. Have two or three ds, and ate them according to size and strength. An earthen floor is the best for the poultry-hous A cemont surface under- neath possesses the advantage of perfect dryness for the extra cost, as it is not dif- ticult to keep your earthern floor reason: ably dry, provided you raise a mound of earth for the house to ste round it with a ditch to catch rain, For the highest success small fruits need a very rich soil, full of ‘*humus” or vegetablo matter, with abundant moist- ure and no weeds, The moisture comes from a rich soil that holds it somewhat easily, and then is aided by frequent cul- ture, mulching or irrigation. New be- ginners should start with a small plat, and particularly so when short of cap- ital. A horticulturist say: The rule for pruning and transplanting is to cut in proportion to apparent injury to roots. f not much worse for removal cut but little of the top away. Properly pruned, a good gardenes 1l not have the worst case of a badly tree to die under hi: hands. In nur s where these matters are well understood tr “‘never die.” Corn fodder lacks me constituents that the grain does, though not to so great an extent. Hence it is wasteful feeding to feed it nlone, and it does not improve the composition of the ration to add the grain. But such a ration gives better re- sults than either the fodder or the grain feed alone, as “rough feed” helps the ligestion of grain in the stomachs of cattle and horses. Blackberries and raspberries need never staked 1f properly pruned. Assoon as g ronch a height of thirty or thirty-six mches “snip” their tops ofl when they will throw out laterals, b come more stocky, and hold up their loads of food without stakes.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CnreAao, May 12.—[Special Telegram,] — WiteAT—The markets to-day wera decidedly uninteresting. Barly the markets were dull but steady, with a finmer undertone. Wheat opened at a slight advance, compared with yesterday still further fractional imvrovement oceurred. It was expected that several large shorts were covertly covering, and the crowd stood ready at an instant’s notice to put the price upon them, 1f the shorts indicated had any such purpose in view and were buying for the purpose described, they must have changed their mind, for no steady demand from any stated quarter could be detected, and after a while values settied a triflo. A great change came over the spirit of the wheat pit crowd about noon. Previous to that time traders had been drowsily at- tending to business, and quotations had slug- gishly fluctuated at about the range ot yes- terday’s last trade. Nobody appeared to have decided views, and the market drageed along as though stricken with “spring fever.” A report came from New York that Woerishat- fer’s wheat was being thrown on the market, those In charge of his affairs not caring te run risks, and that the associates of the late millionaire had_ resolved upon a similar course. I'ree offerings on the part of brok- ers, supposed to rep: ntthe Lester interest, was proof to the minds of many there was a foundation for the story, and prices slid down the seale rapidly. May fell to 73'4c, June to 76%c and July to 7i%c. The loss from the best figures of the morning was Ll@1ige. More deferred options were the weakest, hot wheat rumor from New York taking the starch out of the later months.
