Crop Report for October.
Reports at hand form the basis for
the following statements:
Acres of wheat harvested '94. .1,287,854
Bushels  21,627,649
Average yield per acre  15,79
The acres here given are as shown
by ths farm statistics of the State taken by supervisors last spriug; the
average per acre is taken from records
kept by threshers, and the total yield
is obtained by multiplying the number
of acres in each county by the average
per acre and footing the products.
Correspondents this month were requested to estimate the proportion of
the wheat crop that will ba fed to
stock. The average of their estimates
is about 18 per cent or nearly one-fifth
of the. crop. It is yet early to make
this estimate. At the most the figures
represent only what farmers expect to
feed. They are now feeding largely to
hogs, later they will feed to other
stock. Attention is called to summary
of statements of correspondents, printed below.  .
The total number of bushels of wheat
marketed by farmers since the September report was published is 1,523,271,
and in the two months, August—September, 2,476,074. This is 1,050,430
bushels less than reported marketed
in the same months last year.
Oats are estimated to yield 2Si bushels per acre; barley""lSS, and corn 40
bushels. Potatoes are estimated to
yield 44 per'cent of an average crop,
and winter apples are estimated at one-
half, and late peaches three-fourths of
an averaa'e crop.
In the various counties thoughout
the state wheat will be fed quite generally, varying from twenty per cent
to three fourths of the entire crop. Iu
the northern counties there are many
localities where wheat has not been
raised in sufficient quantities for bread
while there are some' places where
wheat is raised to such an extent that
much wiil be fed. The estimate of the
amount fed will fall below twenty per
cent. Washington Gasdnek.
Armbcr.
Amber is the gum of a conifer, bnt
of -what species no one knows. It belonged to the first period of vegetation
of the earth. No one knows in what
climate these trees grew, and, no fossil
traces of thein aro left for the geologist.
It is not improbable that they produced
amber and were stately trees millions of
years ago. Dr. E-. Klebs of Konigsberg,
the highest authority on this "subject in
the world, says there aro 2,000 different
varieties of insects found imprisoned in
amber, and this gives ns a pretty correct idea of the fauna in the remote age
in which they lived. They give us besides evidences of that period of which
we have no other trace. It is very interesting to compare these insects with
those now existing, as the common fly,
for example. Others, again, are entirely
different, showing extinct species. Dr.
Kleb's theory is that the amber was carried to East Prussia during the glacial
epoch and imbedded in the bine earth
where it is found. This blue earth is a
very heavy clay, and the strata vary in
thickness from 8 to 27 feet. Dr. Klebs
considers that this imbedding process
occurred in what geologists term the
tertiary period. —Philadelphia Bulletin.
Use Water In Carnival Time.
During carnival time in some parts of
South America there is a general revolt
against nature in withholding rain the
greater part of the year. Water is
■howered from the balconies and house
tops with wanton extravagance, all
classes joining in the frolic. I was in
Lima during one of these periods of jollification and found that there was not a
street where one could be secure from
these watery attacks. In all parts of the
town passersby were treated to a shower
bath, and toward evening the sport increased in intensity, every successful
delivery of dipper or bucket heing
greeted with shouts of laughter. All
elasses met with tiie same reception.
Eoughly dressed men sauntering along
the street would on meeting a richly
dressed lady dash a cup of "water, which
they held concealed behind their backs,
straight in the lady's face. The ladies
attacked in this way would merely smile
grimly and pass on. I saw hundreds bi
men and women showered in this way,
bu* in no instance were the least signs
of resentment or anger displayed,.—St
Louis Globe-Democrat.
HANDLING C©RN FODDfiUi
Pitcbins l-orJ'ter—Pulling Up Shooks With
a Tearri—A Good Fodder Back.
Every intelligent farmer knew long
before our experiment stations proved It
that the cornstalk with its leaves mado
good feed when well cured. Mnch of
the feed went to waste, however, because of the hard, and disagreeable labor required to save it If we had it
harvester for fodder corn that tras ai
near perfect as some implements thai
have been devised for harvesting othet
'crops—one with which we could do th*
reaping by simply holding ourselves
down on the seat—the "other half" of
the corn crop would not lie wasted so
eften as it is. "Inventors are now giving a good deal of attention to implements for harvesting the corn crop. W«
have machines for doing the cutting bf
horse power, and while they do not
•ave as mnch labor as we would lik«
every littie helps. What we need now
is a machine, method or plan whereby
the lifting and carrying can be done by
horse power. There is a great deal ol
this hard work to do from the time th»
corn is cut until it is dumped into th*
manger. There are a great many short
cuts that, although new, have not bee*
patented and are reported for the benefit
of others. An Illinois farmer give*
through the columns of the Iowa Homestead a few hints in relation to methods
that he has found useful.   He says:
To pitch fodder with a fork I take a
common fork, cut off a few inches o!
the tines and then round the ends a little on the grindstone. One will rarely
be bothered then by the stalks sticking
to the fork. Of course fodder gets tangled some when handled in this way,
but where it is fed whole this is not
especially objectionable. Of course, too,
the leverage is on the wrong end of the
pitchfork for heavy fodder, but for
pitching off the load or raising to •
height it comes handy.
The discovery of a- way to pull n*p
shocks of corn with a team was wortk
many dollars to me last winter. It saves
a great deal of time and perspiration.
There is no more walking around the
shock to find a loose bunch and no more
pulling off stalks that are frozen fast or
that have not been cut off. The jnethod
I employ is simply to take a rope 10 or
12 feet long, tie it to the wagon in
front, and witb the other end, which
should have a hook fastened to it, pass
it round near where the shock is tied.
The hook should be hooked into tha
rope so as to make a slip noose, which
should be drawn taut before the team
pulls. A large shock will make a team
scratch, especially when it is frozen
down, but it usually comes up slick and
clean and can be dragged home without
the loss of anything to speak of if snow
is on the ground.
In feeding fodder a suitable rack is a
great saving. I use a V shaped rack
two or three feet back and above the
manger, with six inch holes, but not
quite at the bottom of the V. The feed
is pitched in at tho top of the V, but
the cattle can reach it only through the
holes, where they strip the ears, husks
and leaves from tho stalk, and the latter
finally slides through also and reaches
the manger below.
Utilizing Water For Irrigation.
All through the country west of tha
Missouri river many schemes are being
tried to utilize water for irrigation.
Thousands of wind and steam power
pumps are lifting the water from wells,
ponds or rivers so that it may run back
upon the land. Most of this is being
done by private enterprise, each farmer
trying to secure a supply of water for
his own farm. This is different from
the company or community plans of
building a large irrigating system wtti
a fund contributed by many stockholders and dividing the cost among thos*
who" use the water. On many of th*
wide and shallow streams of the weai
this co-operative building of irrigating
canals has been considered the best
method because it was considered the
most feasible plan for the water to distribute itself.
Of late years some successful efforts
have been made to use the water power
for pumping. Most of these streams run
Rlmost level for half a mile or more and
then flow down a "riffle" or short incline of two to five feet The plan nowadays is to locate a pump at one of thes*
"riffles." A low dam of stones is built
across the stream so as to give additional head of water. Wing dams are then
built so as to form a letter T, with the
end down stream. The water is force*
through this with increased power and
turns a water wheel which works a
pump and elevates the water. This
power is constant as the wheel can be
raised or lowered to correspond with the
height of the water. This is working
satisfactorily on many far western
farms. There are many streams running
fcrough eastern farms that might be
utilized in like manner. Surely in seasons like this/When crops are nearly
parched to death from lack of moisture,
the water -would be far more useful on
the fields than in the bed of the stream,
says Rural Hew Yorker.
Do A.way With. Checkreins.
It is encouraging to read how rapidly
the movenient to do away with check-
reins is gaining in England. Railway,
coal, brewery and other companies
which use draft horses have abandoned
the use of the cruel "bearing rein" on
all horses under their control. Fashionable women need an arrest of* thought
On the subject Of the cruelty they unin**
tentionally exercise upon their horses.
