AGRICULTURAL NOTES. BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. WHEAT MARKET. The feature of the wheat market lately has been the scarcity of American and the abundance of the Argentine supply. During five weeks past the I shipments of the later have amounted to 81Ci,000qr., as compared with 300,000qr. in the same period last year, and 650,000qr. in 1901. As buyers have been afraid of this influx they kept out of the market as much as possible, and consequently the stocks became very low. The visible supply was on March 1st much lower than the avorarA—;n it has only been so small twice in twelve years. The position regarded from a statistical point of view is, therefore, very strong. But it is this prospect of bi.g i* ~r is expected L bar 1 i LAST YEAR'S HAY CROP. The hay crop from both rotation and permanent grass was last year an exceptionally good one. Since the produce returns were instituted, only on two occasions—in 1889 and 1898—has there been a heavier yield than 32* cwt., which was the esti- mated production last year of the rotation grasses. In England the yield was estimated at33cwt., or about 6cwt. above the average of ten years, but in Scotland the excess was only IjLcwt. In sm* of j the southern and western' counties the yield per acre was as much as 30 to 50 per cent. above the average, the most favoured being apparently Dorset, ) Gloucester, Essex, Hertford, Cornwall, Devo", Bucks, and Worcester. It is somewhat singular that the yield above the average of the permanent grasses mown for hay is exactly the same as the clovers in both England and Scotland. But the average for Great Britain has been four times exceeded, namely, in 1888, 1889, 1894, and 1898. Every English and Welsh county was credited with an over-average J crop. Those which shew the best returns are Surrey, j Hants, Dorset, Wilts, Cornwall, Middlesex, Kent, and Berks. The least favourable results are shewn in the northern counties. Over 10,000,000 tons of hay of all kinds, it is estimated, were secured last year, tho greater portion in good condition. With this big hay crop, with bulky straw crops, and good root crops, it is quite evident live-stock owners f have not, this winter, had much anxiety as to the supply beinij insufficient to meet their requirements. ECONOMICAL HORSE FEEDING. It is undoubtedly economical to use hay chaff for horses,as they frequently waste it by littering when supplied long in the rack, though possibly one given to bolting food would chew it better in the long state. Feeding should be done regularly, with an avoidance of long fasts. Occasional changes of food are advantageous, and during busy times, when horses are working long hours at heavy work, diet should be of a concentrated character,as horses do not derive the same amount of nourishment from bulky foods that, cattle do. In the neighbourhood of large towns, where farm o ses are frequently engaged almost continuously in carting hay and s' 'aw to market, it is not unusual to allow as much as 251b. per head per day of oats, with only a small quantity ot hay chaff. A mixture of maize and ben, in the proportion of 2i of the former to 1 of the latter, gives about the same albuminoid ratio as oats, and it will be found that Sib. of the maize- beans mixture affords the equivalent amount cf nourishment to 191b. of oats. THE "ROYAL" ARRANGEMENTS. There is always a good deal of talk when a liconse is applied for to sell intoxicants, conse- quently it is not surprising that some of the members of the Royax Agricultural Society should question the right of the council to havo a license for a tavern adjoining the site of the new permanent show buildings. So as to make them- selves secure against any attack, the council of the society have obtained counsel's opinion on the matter, and they report that a corporation formed by Royal Charter has almost unlimited powers, but a corporation formed by Act of Parliament is restricted to the powers granted to them. Conse- quently, counsel are of opinion that the council of the society can do just as they would with their own if privately heid. The license has now bt-en granted, and there can be no question of the pro- posal being carried out. It appears that the arrangements for the show next June are progress- ing satisfactorily. DUNG AS A BASIS. The basis of all systems of manuring should be dung. So says the writer of a Board of Agricul- ture leaflet. This, however, does not mean that this substance should be applied concurrently artificial manures, ho* that lard frI" I r. -.i.i■■0 a farm, enough aung w te product;1. i o allow about 0110-■fourth or "Ie of the area of arable land and meadows be-in? dressed annually with 10 to 15 loads per acre. As regards the arable laud, the dung is applied in some districts to the roots; in others it is given to the wheat; while elsewhere it may go on the barley stubbie for seeds, hay, or he used in other ways. Although on land that naturally grows strong straw the supply of dung may alone maintain a farm in fair fertility, it seldom, if ever, happens that the home-made supplies suffice to produce maximum crops throughout a rotation. For this reason it is found to be profit- able to pmchasc artificials, which, however, should be regarded as a supplement, not as a substitute for the natural fertiliser. The larger crops that these artificials produce mean, of course—if tho crops are consumed at home—a larger dung-heap, so that when once a farm has been brought up to a high state of fertility it is prudent to curtail the manure bulk. HORNLESS CATTLE. Polled or dishorned cattle can undoubtedly be managed with greater facility than horned animals, and when a consignment consists solely of hornless cattle the animals can be conveyed by sea or land with less danger of sustaining injury while in transit. It. seems that the opinion of Irish salesmen and feeders of experience in the cattle trade, who have been consulted by the Department of Ajjri- culture for Ireland, is to the effect that Irish stores for exportation, when horned, require more space in railway waggons, on hoard ships, and in the market-place; that they receive more injury in transit; and that they are worth from 10s. to 15s. per head less than hornless cattle. The practice of dishorning has been pronounced as a cruel opera- tion, inflicting considerable pain on the animals. An alternative operation is, however, recommended, which is regarded as comparatively painless. It is as follows Clip the hair from the top of the horn when the calf is from two to five days old. Slightly moisten tie end of a stick of caustic potash with water or saliva, and rub the tip of each horn firmly with the potash for about a quarter of a minute, or uiitil a slight impression has been made on the centre of the horn. The horns should be treated in this way from two to four times at intervals of five minutes. If during the interval of five minutes, after one or more applications, a little blood appears in the centre of the horn, it will then only be necessary to give another very slight rubbing with lite potash. FARJIING IN CANADA. At the same time that we hear of a rush of irmers into Canada from the United States, and Iso from England, we have several delegates in lis country who have been sent by the Canadian ioveroment or by Canadian agricultural societies to ive information to those farmers, or farmers' sons, ho are desirous of emigrating to that colony, hese representatives are stated to have commenced leir farming careers with little or no capital, and re now reputsd to be men of substance. These are !6 sort of people in whom one may have confidence, it is the practical success of others which should ct as the greatest inducement for intending farmers ) follow their example. To till those vir.-in soils is not theory but practical experience which can ,iV8 the most valuable advice. MEETING OF BREEDS IN THE MIDLANDS. It would seem that all the breeds of cattle meet n the Midlands, and that for the purpose of distribution Birmingham is the headquarters. Last week, for instance, both Jersey and Aberdeen-Angus appeared at Bingley Hall to appeal for public patron- age. As a rule, Jersey cows are bought largely by private persons for their own use, and, therefore, only in small numbers, and usually make only moderate prices. Last week several reached 24 guineas, a really good price if we remember that when done with for milking purposes they arc of little value for feeding. With Aberdeen-Angus the case is quite different, for they make some of the I' best beef which is obtainable in this or any other country, and are largely used for crossing purposes, chiefly with the Shorthorn. Last week one of the bulls made the high figure of 110 guineas, and a cow and calf 50 guineas: others made 25 guineas and over. The breed ia clearly increasing in public favour.

Several bunches of very useful stores rear ed satis- factory l,rice. iiii to 3th apiece. A few ewes and lambs sold up to 60s per couple. Calves were more nume- rous than usual, and prices were a trifle easier, but still the best were dear, owing to a bigger demand. Cardiff butchers wanting veal went up to £8 apiece for Hereford calves. The quality varied considerably, ard prices ranged from 7d tj 9d per lb. Opinions were conflicting as to the pig trade. Dealers, who had evidently been buying too dear, found the market worse for them all round, but under the hammer a fair supply of porks went very well at 5d to 6d per lb. bacons were more nnmerous owing to the m"rtness of the weather, and did not make more than to 5d per Ih. Store pigs were in good demand, u prices had, if anything, a downward tendency. Best store cattle no dearer. Little cattle slightly lower. LEICESTER, Maich 11.—There were full consign- ments of home-fed bullocks, which came to hand in very good condition. Choice descriptions sold more freely, but secondary qualities were dragging and prices were rather irregular. Choice qualities made 61d to (rid per lb; secondary qualities, 6d to 6id; heifers, 6d to 6d and cows 5d to 6d. Sheep were a larger supply and sold slowly at lower rates. Choice light wethers made 8d to 9d large sheep, 7N to Sid and ewes, Gid to 7d. Lambs were a larger supply and changed hands readily at Is. Calves a low trade at 9d. LEICESTER, March 14.-The consignments of home- ted bullocks to-day were rather restricted, and there was only a moderate attendance. Trade ruled steady, and young steers changed hands with a fair amount of freedom at £I2 to £ 14 10s per head. Rearing calves sold more freely at 30s to 45s. Sheep were only a small supply and met with rather a slow trade. Prices ruled remarkably finn. CARMARTHEN JUKI LEE FAIR.—At this fair held in I Priory-street, on Monday, there was a good supply of cattle, but of inferior quality, this being attributable to farmers breeding in," or, in other words, keeping • :v-ser- fro: their own stock. i,)t useful barren COINIF, prices iicm to £ 12 apiece. Good fat bulls fetched rolU 25s to 28s per cwt live weight. The stock bulls in sale were not worth buying, but a few sold at from JE6 10 go each. Small yearling store cattle realised from f5 to £ 7,there being no good yearling on the market at this early period. A few of the best two-year-olds present changed hands at £ 13 10s. There were plenty of buyers for good cobs, carriage and carts horses, but as was only to be expected at this time of the year, when the agriculturist is busy preparing his land, the supply was short. Can't you guess 1 '• A lithographic reproduction of this painting sent post free to liutter-n:akers sending us the addresse of at legist three other butter-makers not usiny a cream separa- tor. Thousands of butter-makers still continue to tn.j>lov old- fashioned methods, and thereby lose r,! icay.t ilb. of butter in every 6. The Melottc turns one-third easier than other separa- tors, has the largest sale in the United Kingdom, has beaten all others in compfctition, and is sent on free trial for 14 days by the Melctte Separator Sales Co., Ltd., llristo!. It pays to sell a cow and buy a Melotte; the same quantity of butter will be n'ade, and the cow s feed and the necessity of milking and at tending to it will be saved. Local Agents A. E.
