Review of the Local Grain, Produce and
Provision Markets


Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 81.
The leading markets continue tame, and in all
branches of trade there is lack of push, yet
merchants are cheerful, hoping soon for a better
trade. An exchange, in speaking of the bust
ness situation, says: There is some danger that
the business depression in which the country
finds itself will be aggravated by the fears of
those who mistake a hating state of trade for
something worse, and go fear the approach Of
panic. 1t is to be expected that, whatever be the
yield of staple crops or however sound be the
method of business, there must intervene peri
ods OF depression when the main thing to do is
to wait. 1t is true that the present situation is a
sII-- one, but. as we have been insisting from
week to week, there n good reason for sns-
pecting that general unsoundness of commer-
eial credit exists To be sure reports of the fail
IRE of small traders throughout the
country are numerous, but this is to be
expected at the rounding up of an extended
perion of exceptional activity. Besides, their
number has been decreasing for the last three
weeks, and ths tendency promises to continue
The prices OF the necessares OF life are low, cot
ron and wheat notably so. The rate of interest
for the of capital continues to tend lower
throughout the United States, as indicated by
This may be taken Il strong Indication that the
force of the conditions which went TO make the
foundations OF panic has been fairly exhausted.
Capital Is reluctant to embark upon new enter
prises, but this is well 1t would he outside the
order OF nature If ii possible for the move

full. A proper amount OF pnIient waiting IT,
therefore,, in order" Our milrrs speak Of thefl0nr
market as being t1rmer, and feel that the
dun time with them is past The demand from
Eastern markets Is increasing, and export trade
as well. The exports of wheat and fionr from
the seven principal Atlantic ports in the week To

SOiling.

Increased interest has been awakened of
late years with many cultivators on the sub
iect of feeding cattle by soiiing, instead of
grazing in open pastures. The successful
management of those who have adopted it, is
therefore always interesting to portion of
our readers. An account of his experiments
was recently given by F. S. Peer to the FL
mira Farmers Club and is reported in the
HaSbandmadn. He took possession of q farm
which had long been worked by tenants and
reduced to low condition. The fences com
PEELED him to resort to soiling. He finds af-
ter several years experience that it effects

ing a better condition to his stock, giving
more milk and butter and supplying an in
creased quantity of manure. At first the
farm was barely sufficient to feed twelve
cows through the year; now, after six years,
there is food enough for thirty-six cows and
and other products are doubled. The first
green food in the spring is fall sowed rye,
late in May and early in June A cow con-
sumes in day three-fourths of a square rod
of rye, oats and peas. Barley is sown first
in spring, as it will grow at n low tempera
ture The succession of feed then is, rye,
barley, oats and peas. A mixture of two
Saturday, each sowing of half an acre lasting
week This gives the green feed at its
best Full success depends on the copious
application of manure, of which there is
good home production Corn successfully
follows the crops mentioned. Provision is
made for good ventilation of the stables for
the cattle, by flues extending upwards, and
other tlues coming down to supply good air
from the interior of the barn. This provis-
ion for pure air is regarded as of great i'm
portance; and the result has been that not an
animal has been lost since soiling was prac
ticed The cows are fed five times in TWEEN

Flat Culture for Potatoes.

A correspondent Of the Country Gentleman
writes: Several years ago became con-
vert to flat culture for potatoes, and every
season convincCs me that this mode is pre-
ferabe to the forming of hills around the
plants This season, being a very dry one in
this section, fully demonstrated with me that
in moist as well rs dry seasons fiat culture is
the better of the two Just across the fence
from my potato patch was a field of my
neighbours, of about four acres, planted about
ten days before mine The ground is alike
on both paiches-clayey loan. My neighbor
manfred more literally than | did. He
adopted the hill method of culture, and the
flat method. In the early part of the season
his made much more vigorous growth than
mine; in fact the foliage in his field covered
the ground before mine had begun to grow
AS the season advanced mine gained in
growth upon his and maintained greener
foliage longer. His ripencd about II week
ahead of mine, but while his crop averaged
$50 bushels To the acre, mine averaged $50
bushels to the acre. There are seventy bush
els difference upon similar SOIL his having
the advantage of more manure than mine
| consider that flat culture requires less labor
than killing, produces heavier crops, and the
quality is just as good, with all other condi
tons tie same.

1t is an excellent thing to have n well-kept
house. and II beautifully appointed table, but
after all, the best cheer of every house must
come from the heart and manner of the home
mother. If that is cold and this ungracious,
all the wealth of India cannot make the home
pleasant and inviting Intelligence, too,
must lend its charm, if we would have home
an Eden. The severe style of house order and
neatness seldom leaves much margin for intel
lectual culture. Even general reading is
considered as out of the question for a wom-
an so hurried and so worried with her scrub
bling and polishing, and making up garments.
A simple style of living and house. furnishing
would set many a bonded slave ut liberty,
and add vastly to the comfort of all in the
house. Hospitality rarely prevails in these
spotless line-and letter houses Company
disarranges the books, and disord rs the

The mother cainot throw off her household
cares, and sit down for real heart to heart
converse with the old friends of her child
hood. Still less can she enter into the joys
and pleasures right and delightful to her own
children, because of the extra work of clear
ing away it will be likely to make.
With all your tolls to make a house beau
tiful, do not neglect the first element of all,
to beautify yourself, body and soul, A
sweet, loving word, and warm clasp of the
hand, are far more to guest than the most
deliberately embroidered lambrequins at your
window, or the most exquisite damask on
your table. There are bare cabin homes,
that have been remembered with pleasure,
because of the beautiful loving presence
there; and stately palaces, which leave the
impression of an iceberg on the mind.

TOMORROW.


shining isle in stormy sea,
We seek it ever with smiles and sighs
To-day is sad. In the bland to DO
Serene and lovely tomorrow lies.
1t mockcd us, the beautiful yesterday
1t left us poorer. Oh, never mind
In the fair Tomorrow far away,
1t waits the Joy that we failed to find,
with fitful labor and meagre gain,
Life is a failure" Be still my heart
TO-day-the partial result, the pain;
To-morrow-fruition, the perfect part.
Time looks from our eyes with tenderest truth,
IL touches with silver the locks of gold
1t kisses away the tints of youth.
TIL we say, Tomorrow we shall be old"
We think of the countries far aud fair,
All free forever from blight and frost;
Where love lives on in the holy air,
wen find again the youth we had lost.
Twill still 90 on-the beloved task,
That drops half done from thy weary hand
Thy crown for another! "Why?" you ask.
Thoult waken tomorrow and understand.
Nothing is finished. From birth to the pail
Our love, or sorrow, ife's dear, brief day
Is Il little fragment, that is all,
Of the more that wait in the far away.
Why we are sorry, we shall divine,
When the life that is perfect holds its sway
when peace abides in the thine and mine,
And tomorrow melts into Gods to-day.
