QUERIES FOR FRAMERS.

The following questions have been prepared by the Jhsper county Farmer’s institute committee with a view of drawing out an expression of views from the farmers. The columns of The Democrat are open to a free discussion of these topics. 7. In your opinion which is the best method to sow timothy, in the fall or in the spring? 8. When is the best time to prune fruit trees? 9. Is it best to feed cattle on dry food until grass is large enough so that they can get all they can eat, or turn out when they can get only partly what they can eat and bring them on full grass feed by degrees? ~ I have private funds to loan on real estate at low rates for any length of time. Funds are always on hands and there is no delayno examination of land, no sending papers east—absolutely no red tape. Why do you wait on insurance companies for 6 months for your money? I also loan money for short times at current bank rates. Funds always on hand -
