681 
Improvement in Dairy Stock — Continued. 
farmers are raising more sowed corn. Most of 
the farmers cut and cure it, and mow it away in 
the barns. Some have silos, but they are mostly 
milkmen. The cheapest feed to buy, is wheat 
bran and corn meal, equal parts by weight. We 
have fed about the same for the past 10 years. 
Chemung County. a. h. t. 
I think that the average cow of to-day will 
make, at least, 25 per cent more butter than she 
could have made 10 years ago; this is due more 
to better feed than to improved blood. The farm¬ 
ers in this locality are waking up to the fact that 
it pays better to raise more corn fodder, and feed 
more ground feed, thereby keeping up the flow of 
milk, than it did to let their cows go almost dry 
at this season of the year, and let them worry 
through the winter on a mixture of weeds and 
overripe white-top bay. Proper feeding is what 
they need to learn first, and then it will be some 
benefit to them to go into grading up their stock. 
If they would all read The R. N.-Y. for one year, 
and couple the information obtained with com¬ 
mon sense, it would prove the best investment 
ever made. Wheat bran and corn meal are the 
cheapest feeds at present for milch cows, but 
enough of something else to make out a balanced 
ration, should be added to get the best results.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Small crab apples are in demand at good prices. 
California Lima beans are selling very slowly. 
The American Institute Fair is in full swing at 
Madison Square Garden. 
Egg prices have gone considerably higher. 
Strictly fresh are scarce. 
The tendency of the market in all lines of dried 
fruits, is toward higher prices. 
The apple market is firm and in good shape, 
and the demand active for all choice varieties. 
Wheat prices seem to be going in the direction 
of the dollar mark, but whether they will reach 
it or not is another question. 
The Egyptian cotton crop promises to be the 
largest ever known. It is estimated that it will 
amount to 6,000,000 cantars (570,000,000 pounds). 
The cranberry crop this year is considerably 
less than last, the falling off being largely in New 
Jersey, whose crop is reported to be almost a 
failure. 
A joint session of the North Dakota and South 
Dakota Dairymen’s Association will be held at 
Aberdeen, S. D., October 7 to 9. Dairying is pick¬ 
ing up in the Northwest. 
Theseed firm of D. M. Ferry & Co. have applied 
for an injunction restraining Secretary Morton 
from distributing free seeds, on the ground that 
it is an injury to their business, and is unconsti¬ 
tutional. 
The International Association of Farmers’ In¬ 
stitute Workers will hold its second meeting at 
the Sherman House, Chicago, beginning October 
14 at 10:30 a. m., continuing two days. Most of 
the prominent institute promoters in the United 
States and Canada are expected to be present 
and take part in discussing the various phases 
of the work. The regular programme will be 
supplemented by brief talks and discussions, 
which will give an opportunity for asking and 
answering questions. 
Small Kansas Pigs.—As to the question asked 
on page 666, we would say that the size at which 
the pigs are to be disposed of would depend upon 
the business of the buyer. Cattle feeders want 
pigs of 100 pounds and upwards, which growth 
the pigs should make in four months. Under 100 
pounds, pigs would not be very salable in large 
numbers. 
The sows and young pigs will do very well run¬ 
ning on rye pasture, but Alfalfa is preferable. 
Sows and pigs on pasture require grain in order 
to make satisfactory growth; corn is best. A 
separate pasture for each sow and litter is far 
preferable, because it contracts the ranges and 
prevents the pigs of different litters from invad¬ 
ing the rights of others. The sows should be 
kept in moderate flesh during pregnancy, and 
should be fed liberally while suckling pigs. A 
good food for them at this period, on pasture, is 
ground barley, wheat, corn and oats or rye made 
into a slop. If not on pasture, bran should be 
added, and oil meal can be used to great advant¬ 
age. 
The young pigs after weaning time must have 
the best of care and most nutritious food. After 
weaning one can keep as many pigs in one past¬ 
ure as it will stand, if there is plenty of trough 
FRIENDSHIP IN BUSINESS. 
It is doubtful if in any other line of business so 
much real friendship would be found as exists 
between the piano-makers, Messrs Cornish & Co , 
of Washington, N. J., and the users of their in¬ 
struments in all parts of the world. A personal 
interest in the success of the manufacturers 
is felt by all who have bought pianos and organs 
of them, because of their straightforward meth¬ 
ods and considerate treatment. Of course, other 
manufacturers and music dealers looking for 
commissions feel otherwise, but with a success¬ 
ful and prosperous career of 35 years back of 
them and a present enormous trade, they will 
continue to sell direct to the families of the world 
first-class pianos and organs at practically 
manufacturer’s cost. A little book just pub¬ 
lished by them, called “The Heart of the Peo¬ 
ple,” will interest you, and maybe bad for the 
asking. A limited number of a beautiful piano 
and organ book, illustrated in ten colors, is be¬ 
ing given away also. If you want one, better 
write them to-day. 
Their practice of sending pianos and organs to 
all parts of the world for an absolutely free test 
trial shows their faith both in the public and their 
instruments.— Adv. 
room to feed them, being careful to feed the pigs 
of the same size in pens by themselves, so that 
the larger ones will not crowd out the smaller 
ones. Our plan has been to build fences around 
the troughs, leaving openings to sort out the 
pigs, and begin feeding the smallest. 
You can average 15 pigs per year from each 
sow. We have found the large English Berkshire 
best adapted to our needs; they are good grazers, 
quick growers and excellent sellers, and average 
about nine pigs to the litter. Thoroughbreds are 
by all odds the best, and, while the first cost is 
greater, they are more profitable in the end.

CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE. 
Monroe County, Mich.— Corn in Michigan is a 
heavy crop. The hay crop is light, and straw 
worthless for feed, which will make the price of 
hay high. Potatoes are all destroyed on the low 
ground, and in some places they are rotting on 
the sand. The yield, where not rotting, is gener- 
allv very light. The apple crop is immense and 
of extra fine quality. Prices range from 40 to 
50 cents per barrel for the fruit. e. b. d. 
Adams County, Iowa.— The business of horse 
breeding in this locality has been changed from 
almost all grade draft to about one-half the usual 
number, and of all kinds, including mules. 
Prices have fallen one-half in the past six years. 
Care given now, is nothing like it used to be, 
when they were worth double the present price. 
Horse breeders are not very hopeful of the future 
as a general thing, though some are. e. l. g. 
Fulton County, N. Y.—The potato crop har¬ 
vested in this county this year, will be the poorest 
ever known to the writer. The acreage will aver- 
age about 50 per cent of last year’s, and the yield 
will not average over 25 per cent. Present mar¬ 
ket prices incline farmers to sell now. Large 
size, smooth stock (which is very scarce), finds 
quick purchasers. r. d. b. 
Winnebago County, III. —We are feasting upon 
Crosby peaches and Prairie du Pont pears. 
Crosby ripens after Champion and stands the 
winters better than the Maiden’s Blush and Fall 
Orange apple. Prairie du Pont pear is, when 
ripe, a light yellow color, and when exposed to 
the sun shows a beautiful red blush. It is a 
delicious fruit of good size and the tree seems to 
be perfectly hardy in our severe climate. A speci¬ 
men on my desk measured 4*4 inches in length, 3)4 
in width and weighs 12)4 ounces. s. e. h. 
R. N.-Y.—The Prairie du Pont pear is new to us. 
There is a Prairie duPond given by Downing.
