as great the country over—the pride is rather better than it used to be. and is now 18 cents per dozen, while I believe 17 centß is the lowest eggs have sold here this season. I saw one groceryman sorting over his eggs, picking out all the large white ones and putting .them in cuses by themselves. On being questioned he told me that those large white eggs —from the Leghorn hens —he sold in New York for two cents more per dozen than he could get lor the mixed eggs, and he was then paying 18 cents for mixed eggs., This is a natural sheep country, and a great many sheep used to be grown here, and paid well. They still pay well, but for some reason few are now kept. The sidehills could be utilized for sheep pasi tore, and as cheap as land is, it seems to me one could almost coin money here in the sheep business. There is no disease or otjher good reason why sheep should not be grown here to great profit. Farmers have apparently just got out of growing them, though all with whom I talked said they “paid we4l but required good fences.” A little work would supply the fencing at practically no money cost.

Another thing I found here was that few hogs—denominated by many successful farmers in the middle west as the “mortgage lifters” —are grown here. This is another source of profit that is sadly neglected by the farmers of this section of the state. I find that the industrious, intelligent, progressive farmer, who tills his laud well is apparently making money here as elsewhere, and 1 believe, all things considered, money can be made here easier and as fast excepting possibly increase in value of^land —as in the west or middle west. Of course one cannot grow grain here for market and compete with the west, but he can grow hay, buckwheat and potatoes, and for dairying and small stock growing it is better adapted than the high-priced lands of the middle west, and here all the advantages of the eastern market, which regulate the prices for the western farmers, are at one’s door, while good roads, close neighbors, society, pure air, excellent water and a healthful climate are among the advantages here over the medium priced lands of the far west. Crop failures are unknown here, the rainfall being about the same each year, and I must say that! notwithstanding the extremely low price of farm land the crops are as good—if not the best —through the Susquehanna valley of any place I have seen in the entire state, and I have been over considerable of it since leaving home. Some people here think the tide of immigration will eventually turn from the west and that these lands will then rapidly advance in price to something near their real value. I found the political sentiment here strongly favorable to W. J. Bryan, and was told by many prominent people that Bryan would not only carry the democratic vote solid throughout the state but would receive many re- \ publican votes here should he! again be the democratic nominee i for the presidency. If this is true' —and I have no good reason for doubting the statement—it shows a great change in the feeling here iu the past few years. One thing that strikes the visitor from our section of the country is the„scaroity of silver dollars iu circulation here. One and two dollar bills take their place, and the whole time 1 was there 1 whb; given but one silver dollar in change. Halves, quarters and dimes are pleuty, but so scarce is tbe big daddy dollar we are used j to that one longs for the sight of a few once in awhile. I found this same condition both in tbe country and in the oities, and it is evident that the silver dollar circulates almost exclusively in the weßt and middle west. Returning home 1 had a most pleasant trip also. Leaving Worcester on the D. & H' at 10:22 a. m., I went to Oneonta—23 miles and there took the Oneonta and Mohawk Valley trolley line across the country north to Mohawk and the Mohawk and Utica line to the latter place, there taking the New York Central road to Buffalo. This trolley ride was some 50 or 60 miles in length and numerous pretty little lowns are passed through. We go up along the shores of Schuyler’s Lake, through Richfield Springs a summer resort still of considerable note, pass through valleys and ravines and finally reach the the beautiful town of Mohawk From here we pass along the Erie caual for several miles. From Buffalo I came through to Hammond on tbe old reliable Wabash, one of the best roads that I have ever traveled over. Oar route from Buffolo to Detroit was practically all through

Canada, and for several miles we skirted the shores of Lake Erie, crossing over to Detroit at Windsor. Of the country along tbe route space forbids special mention, but the territory through Canada was generally sparsely settled, although crops there generally looted well. Through the northern part of Indiana oats were very light and corn was very uneven. Apples will be a very light crop apparently in New York and Michigan, and tne price will be “out of sight” again with us. My trip was of about 3,000 miles, oyer 600 of which was by water, and I‘was in five states and the Province of Canada. It was a very enjoyable trip all the way through, and I hope these necessarilly rather lengthy letters have been of some interest to readers of the Democrat, with whom I am glad to be back once more.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Finished Sheep Par Best. One of our oldest and most successful breeders and importers of high class stock told me some time ago that, after many years’ experience in handling horses, cattle, sheep and pigs, he found his best profits, greatest pleasure and satisfaction in the sheeft division of his business. And well may I indorse his statement, as for many years my comparatively small flock has produced for me more profit than all else on the farm. A mistake of many jn our country Is the selling of butcher’s lambs in the fall at a small i*rice while by feeding on well for some four to six months longer the value can be easily doubled and tbe former profit quadrupled.—John Campbell, Ontario, in American Agriculturist. Hors* Facts. There is such a thing as feeding too much. While the horse does the hardest work he should have the best care. Don’t think that you can raise the best horses by feeding on corn as a grain ration. They need grain that will produce boue and muscle. Horses which are fed Improperly are subject to colic. Overloading the stomach on coarse feed and work is Just what causes It. Remember that tbe horse has a small stomach and feed accordingly. On Idle days lessen the amount of grain. The system cannot utilize as much food when Idle.—E. J. Walerstrfpe In National Stockman. 4 Grain For Pla» on Grass. There Is no way lu which a shote can be made to gain so fast hs by feeding corn or other grain in connection with grass.. A little soaked corn fed dally while the shotes are on clover puts on weight at an astonishing rate and quickly puts the animal in marketable condition. Feeders should remember that no one kind of feed is as good fed alone as when combined with one or two other kinds of feed. Both grass and corn are natural and excellent hog feeds, but neither one is as good alone as when combined with tbe other. Corn makes fat very fast when the system Is in a healthy, thrifty condition, and nothing equals grass as a conditioner.— Wisconsin Agriculturist See Bangbman & Williams for farm and city loans.
