IN THE WORLD OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, May 21.-Money on call easy
at 1(d2 per cent, last loan *, closing at IL.
Prime mercantile paper 415@61l. Sterling ex-
change quiet but firm at 1861 for 60-day bills
and 1881 for demand. The total sales of
stocks to-day were 202, 734 shares
The stock market was considerably mixed
to-day, being alternately firm and heavy, with
but slight fluctuations, and finally leaving
prices close to those Of Saturday. The great
bulk of the trading was confined to ST. Paul,
Union Pacific and Reading. The first men,
toned stock was the great feature of the day,
and it continued weak under the hammering of
the bears, and it was largely oversold, the
feature of the loan crowd being the heavy de-
mand for it, and it renewed and loaned fat.
Many of the late sellers appeared as borrowers,
and the rates reached LIZ per day. Most of the
remaining interest was conferred in Union
Pacific, and it was bought freely for the loan
account, the friends of the property believing
that some favorable legislation at Washington
viii be forthcoming in the near future, and
there is q strong effort being made to get an
other day for the funding bill, and its
friends are confident of its passage
when brought up. Reading and Missouri
Pacific at times showed considerable strength

mer though its volume of business was much
smaller than usual of late The opening was
dull and generally heavy declines from last
evenings prices ranging up to &c per cent, and
under the influence of st. Paul, further frac-
tional losses were sustained over the entire list
Union Pacific, however, was strong from the
start and quickly moved up 1Hc per cent,
which was further increased later in the day.
This rallied the rest of the list, though st. Paul
was forced down a fraction further toward
noon, scoring a total decline of 1Ic. In the
afternoon there was a general dropping ten
dency, but the movements in the list were con-
fined to the smallest fractions, and in the last
hour more strength was shown and the market
closed quiet but firm at irregular changes for
the day. Financial institutions that are seek
ing TO invest their surplus money report great
difficulty in securing any blocks OF bonds.
There are no new securities now being manu-
featured while the old ones being rapidly
absorbed and the investment demand must
soon be felt by the dividend paying stocks.
Union Pacific is up per cent this evening, but
all other changes are for fractions only, and
about equally divided between gains and losses.
Railroad bonds quite active, the sales
reaching 81 ,52S,0OO, OF which Jersey Central IS
furnished $4,000 at advancing prices. The
tone of the market was strong throughout and
prices are generally higher. st. Paul. La

slowly the first hour after meal. Allow
the horse to roll on dry earth or sawdust
once week at least. The evening is the
best time. Then at once groom him
thoroughly and outside the stable.
Thorough grooming cleanses the hide
as well as the hair. A dry shampoo
is best for horse. Better use
elbow grease than water Bed literally.
Fairly good ventilation is secured by holes
under the caves. Have windows on east,
south and west. Light and dryness de-
stroy fungus growths. Do not throw the
bedding against the Manager. Clay or &C.
ment floors are the best. Battle the shout
ders with salt water each evening six
weeks before spring work opens and con-
tinuing through the summer. Fit the
harness to the horse. Better drive twenty
miles to good farrier than have a next
door botch put on the shoes. Blanket in
winter in the open air Ia blanket is to
protect the lungs rather than the back !;
net in fy-time; fasten green leaves TO the
top of the bride when the sun is hot.
Temper firmness with kindness. Cut the
hay and grind the grain; feed them moist
ened and mixed. To feed the meal alone
is wasteful and dangerous.

A New Rival.

The Argentine republic, which is the
most progressive and promising country
in South America, is rapidly rising into
position as a competitor with us in the
production and export OF farm crops. Its ex-
ports ofwheat have risen from ZOO bushels
in 1873 to 16,0O0.000 in 1887; flour from
1000 barrels to 100000 barrels; corn from
100000 bushels TO 100000 bushels, and
linseed from 5000 bushels to 100000
bushels. From 1886 to 1887 the value of
the wheat export increased from 81 3d.
600 TO S9,514,000 corn from S4,663, 900 to
s., 229, 600; flax from 81 so, 900 to S4,059,-
900. The country exports also hides, wool,
peanuts, and turnips. This prosperous
republic lies in the same latitude south
that our country lies in the north, and its
seasons are, therefore, the very opposite
Of ours-winter there when il is summer
here, and fall there when it is summer
here II extends from latitude - degrees
TO 40 degrees, and through 1850 miles OF
longitude. Its northern portion has much
the same climate as Key West, while its
southern portion is as cold as north Mis-
souri, II receives a large immigration
every year from Europe, chiefly Germans,
and it is destined to become leading
power in this hemisphere.

she was given hoe. She went 10 mar.

something handsome in the way OF a dona-

Old pear trees that have apparently been
worthless have been revived by the applica-
ton Of peek OF salt and ashes scattered
around the base. Now Is the time 20 try the
method.
Remember 10 give your breeding fowls n
little sulphur In soft food twice q week II you
want the eggs TO hatch. Fowls running where
they can get grass or other green food do not
need this.
An excellent mode Of supplying supports for
growing pea vines il 10 have two or three
strands Of cord running along the rows. IL Is
cheaper than lath or pea-sticks, and can be
more easily removed after pea harvest is
ready.
The fertility In a good farm that has never
been abused Is practically inexhaustible II

blessed with strong horse-sense and keen in

Notes, Etc.

Many people seem to believe in con-
tinually dosing their hogs for cholera with
some kind of medicine, but l do not.
When a man is in health he needs no
medicine, neither docs hog. The men
whom / have known to have the greatest
success in breeding of swine never gave
their hogs anything more than ashes, salt
and charcoal Then most people get
frightened at the first hog that gets sick or
ailing, and usually do one OF two things:
Either load them in car and start them
on the road to market IAN extremely bad
plan to say the least, that ought to be pre-
vented by legislatiOn-any of US would
shudder at the idea of having to eat chol-
era hogs, yet do not hesitate to sell them
for others to eat), or hasten off to the viii
lage drug store and secure wagon load
of the Lord knows what and commence TO
dose their hogs continuously until, sure
enough, they at last succeed in killing off
the greater portion if not all of the herd.
j would, however, insist that it is well
enough to be constantly on the alert.
think the disease contagious to a con-
siderable extent; so it may be lurking
near you at any time. Keep your hogs
well separated. If You should be feeding
two or three hundred head divide them
according to their size into half-dozen
or more different lots on disconnected
parts of the farm. They will do all the
better for il, and ut the same time are not
so exposed to disease in ease any of them
should take il. While | think it can be
carried in many different ways, yet also
think the care, feeding and management
of herd OF hogs has a good deal TO do
with their liability to disease. A friend
of mine few years since-a breeder of
thoroughbred hogs-sold 10 q shipper
some Gull boars that he had castrated only
q few days previous; but on taking them
10 the stock-yards the shipper was dis
posed to dock them too heavily TO suit my
friend, so he drove them back home. In
a few DAYS he had the hog cholera in fine
shape; it was contracted at the yards, and
their wounds still being fresh was per-
haps one reason why they took IL so read
lily. Again, am inclined to believe that
the hogs should be kept as free as possible
from cuts, wounds or any abrasions of the
skin and if any do occur apply pine tar
at once. 1t is about the best thing for use
as a healer l have ever ied,-Breeders'

Dwarf Apple Trees.
frf.f.s. nfn..t..r

A pretty thing in a garden is a nicely
trained young dwarf apple tree, or a row
Of them. They can be led into any de-
sired shape, and it is lasting amusement
and recreation 10 the amateur gardener 70
guide them into fanciful forms. which does
not debar them from giving him enjoyable
fruit, always handsomer and finer than is
usual on large trees. The sap has not far
10 travel painfully through thousands oil
cells and against gravity 20 reach the
leaves from the root points, and so the
leaves arc eompleter and the fruit better
fed than on the big trees. IL used 10 be
common in the neat French gardens and
probably is yet. 90 see rows OF dwarf
apple trees trained like low horizontal
fences az the back OF flower borders, sepa-
rating them from the vegetable ground.
In other places they would stand here and
there at intervals in the borders, their
shoots pinched into pyramidal form or
left long, but reduced in number and
trained TO wires, giving them the shape Of
letters or figures OF different kinds. To
an admirer of handsome fruit nothing OF
the kind can be more delightful than the
products OF these trees

Lesson in Butter.

A little maid In the morning sun
Stood merrily singing and churuing-
"Ohi how l wish this butter done,
Then off 10 the fields I'd be turning"'
So she hurried the dasher up and down,
Till the farmer called with half-made frown-
"Churn slowly
"Don't ply the churn so fast, my dear,
II Is not good for the butter,
And Will make your arms ache, too, fear,
And put you all in luttcr;
For this is a rule wherever we turn,
Don't be in haste whenever you ehuTn-
Churn slowly.
"If you want your butter both nice and sweet
Don't churn with nervous jerking,
But ply the dasher slowly ana neat,
You'll hardly know that you're working;
And when the butter has come you'll say,
'Yes, surely, this is the better way
Churn slowlyW
Now all you folks, do you think that you
lesson can md in butter?
Don't be in haste, whatever You do,
Or get yourself in n iutter;
And when you stand at LIES great churn
Let the farmers words TO you return

The CultirdfOr SAYS: THE main thing
in treating a balky horse is 20 distract his
attention. A handful of earth in his mouth
will sometimes do 1t, or string tied tightly
round one OF hisears. Whipping is hardly
ever advisable"
1t certainly does not pay TO keep low
grade of sheep and then let them take care
OF themselves. The small amount of wool
secured, as we'll as the poor quality, is such
that no margin OF profit will be lett 10 the
farmer over and above the cost Even
with poor sheep a much better growth of
wool can be secured, if they be reasonably
well cared for, than ii they are left TO them
selves.
The Rural World correctly remarks that
ii the breeders of short-horn, Hereford,
polled or other beef cattle, who are TO make
sales during the ensuing spring and sum-
mer, would get good prices for good ami
mails they will see the necessity of holding
back the mean and undeveloped ones and
fitting them for the butcher. They can not
afford, either for their own sake or in the
interest of high breeding generally, 10 offer
mean stock for sale 10 those who wish 10
use them for breeders.
