WALL STREET PANIC,
A FURRY in Stocks and the Suspen
sion of Three Firms.


The growing scarcity of money at the
financial center, New York City, eliminated
in the inability of three banks to make good
their debit balances at the Clearing House
in the morning.
It was a day of wild excitement in Stock
Exchange and financial circles Decker
David Richmond suspended, the first
named with liabilities of $4,000. 900.
The Bank of North America, the North
River Bank and the Mechanics and Traders
Bank were unable to make good their
balances at the Clearing House and the
associated banks had to come to their relief
and advance S1,3OO0OO Clearing House
certificates will be issued and bank panic
prevented.
It was also announced that the firm of
Narr & Friend, at Philadelphia, one Of the
members OF which belongs to the New York
Stock Exchange, had failed, and the failure
of John T. Walker, Son & Co., merchants
and importers, at No. 81 Pine street, New
York City, was also made public but their
suspension was only Indirectly connected
with the tight money market in Wall street.
This monetary stringency is due to two
causes-frst the exigencies of London,
brought about by over-speculation in almost
every part of the world in general, but in
the Argentine Republic in particular; and
secondly, to the almost unprecedented &C
y
drawn funds away from the Eastern centres.
The present disturbance is a repetition of
the two preceding ones. In the great de-
preston of 1873 the first to go were the
Northern Pacific stocks, which were then
controlled by Jay Gould, who went down in
the wreck. The Northern Pacific stocks led
on the decline of 1884, and buried in their
ruins Henry Willard, who was the master
spirit in them.
The action of the Clearing House in voting
to issue loan certificates to the Bank of North
America and all other banks connected with
it that might require assistance, went far
toward relieving the panicky feeling in the
market
Some idea of the great loss sustained in
Wall street is afforded when it is said that
twenty-three stocks showed up to the time
of the panic, a total shrinkage in value since
November of about 500, 600, 900.
The associated banks of New York City
have available assets of $685. 900, 900. Against
this it was voted to issue Clearing House GER
tiicates in such volume as the situation
might suggest or require.

material of the crock absorbed the fner
oils of the butter, and color along with
it, and so bleach out a circle of butter
next 20 the crock. That the butter gets
''salvey" would indicate that the TEN.
perature Of the cellar was subjected to
great extremes, hot and cool, alterua-
ting. This would cause chemical change
to go on In the elements not butter, and
the heat would tend TO fuse or rather
cause the butter to lose its glcbular form
or granulation. BY some ''chance" the
salt may be charged with too much lime,
and SO act upon the butter as to cause il
TO lose color.
From the fact that the butter is all
right when made, and becomes unstable
only after being "made two and three
months" raises the inquiry, why this
butter was not sold rs fast as made. In
the long run. the butter maker who holds
butter for two or three months for rise,
pays fifty per cent. interest on the ven
ture. The market ami the consumer do
not want butter that is ''old," or has
been held for rise. The butter that
brings highest price is that freshest
made. The good butter made yesterday
always sells highest and is first inquired
for. Holding butter only clogs the
market when it does find its way to the
city, and its depressing influence Injuries
all alike from maker TO consumer. The
most successful butter makers are those
who sell their butter as fast as made, and
try to make the bulk of their butter be-
tween October and June
Whatever the cause of the trouble may
be, we would suggest that when the milk
| is put into the pans or cans 70 add to
each four quarts of milk one quart Of
water at 125 degrees, and if possible set
these cans in tank of cold we'll water.
Temper the cream evenly, and churu at
the first sign of acidity. AS soon as the
cream breaks up into distinctive globules
add two gallons of water and half tea
cup full of salt to the churn before trying
to remove the buttermilk. This will give
| perfect separation of buttermilk and
butter. Wash twice more with clear
water. Salt this wet butter with one and
ne-fourth ounces of salt TO the pound
and churn it in. Let it stand an hour
and work over lightly. and pack into
well glazed crooks. Cover we'll with a
cloth and paste of wet salt; set in
cool, dark place where the temperature
is as near stationary as possible, and sell
this butter every week, and if the cows
are we'll fed and have wheat shorts and
little corn meal it is not likely that the
butter will fade or get salvey.

GETTING RID OF QUACK GRASS.

Quack grass, or witch grass, is some
thing not easily gotten I'd of. 1t may
well seem waste of labor to pillow and
cultivate this weed, for the more this is
done internationally the more it spreads.
Every root will grow and make new
plant in the course of few years after it
has been nearly eradicated, being as bad
as ever. Yet continuous culture during
a single growing season will entirely de-
stroy it. The cultivation must be often
enough so that not single spear of the
grass reaches the surface. Where quack
grass has grown. unmolested several years
it is a good plan to pillow the piece just
deep enough to throw to the Surface the
network of main roots which are found
exactly on the hard pan left by the keel
of the pillow in previous years. It is often
possible in this way, by careful blowing,
to throw most of the main roots on the
surface, where during the winter they
will freeze and dry SO that they can be
raked up in winrows and burned. Con-
tlnuous cultivation with some hoed crop
will do the business in one season, though
to make sure that none escapes it is bet
ter to plant in hoed crops the second
year. Great care is needed to prevent
this plant spreading from one lot all over
the farm. 1t spreads by its roots, which
sometimes penetrate potatoes, and are
thus planted by careless farmers. Its
seed usually ripen in August, though we
have seen it ripened in July enough to
grow. Quack fields should not, there
fore, be sown with oats, as both ripen at
the same time.-C0 urier-Jvurndl.

NOVEL TRAIN ROBBERY.
A Sneak Thief Opens Safes and Gets
Away With $4,000.

Two night trains on the Georgia Railroad,
one leaving Atlanta for Augusta, at II: 80
o'clock, and the other leaving Augusta for
Atlanta at the same hour, were robbed on a
recent night. The Southern Express Com
pany takes no way packages, and the mes
sengers sleep on cots in the express car. The
train leaving Augusta was robbed of about
$40.
Messenger Ficklen is heavy loser. tel
egram from Atlanta saying That his pack
ages amounted to S12, 600. Ficklen says he
must have been robbed between Conyers,
which is about thirty miles from Atlanta,
and Ocol,ce bridge, about eighty miles from
Atlanta. He was asleep on a cot in his car,
and the robber must have entered the door
next to the engine Ficklen's key was in
his vest pocket, which hung on the wall
One package could not be got into the safe
and lay alongside. In the morning when
Ficklen reached Augusta his key was miss
ing After two hours search, failing TO
discover it, his safe was broken open, and it
was then discovered that he was robbed.
Both robberies were evidently the work OF
the same man, who probably knew the run
of the road. The trains were not stopped,
the robber NJ uniting them at a station quiet
ly, and doing his work and getting off after,

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
HARVESTING THE APPLE CROP.

The gathering of fruit is at ali times
an operation requiring care and tender
handling. In the case of apples, a
squeeze, or drop, hard enough to pro-
ducea bruise, renders them unfit for
keeping purposes, on which much of
their value depends. There is
an additional reason for careful hand
ling the present season, owing to the
scarcity or the crop and the high price
of the fruit. In picking from the trees,
baskets with smooth bottoms should be
used, and the apples laid, not dropped
into them. By rough handling Of the
basket in the interior of tree or care
less movements of the ladder around its
outside, careless picker can easily cause
more loss in an hour than his wages for
the entire day would be worth. The
same man or the same ones, where more
than one is required, should always re-
ceive the baskets and do the packing.
Place the first two rows stem end down
against the head to be taken out when
the barrel is opened for sale or use
Uniformity in size should be observed as
closely as possible. 1t is always best to
make two qualities when barreling, and
the present season, when even very in
ferior apples will sell, the latter, if packed
at all, should make third class. Leaves
and twigs ought to be carefully ex-
cluded and the apples should be pressed
in, so there will be no shaking when
moving the barrels around after these
are filled and headed up.-NeO York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Sawdust is an excellent litter for duck
coops.
The income from sheep is always sure,
st least.
Now is the time to weed your flock, il
you have not done it before.
Overcrowding is fertile cause of the
breeders worst enemy-roup.
There is nothing better for your tur-
keys than curds squeezed dry and crum"
bled.
Unless care is taken, hogs will begin
to fail now, unless extra feed is sup
piled.
Cool, sweet water is one of the most
important factors in the health of the
flock.
In managing the teams it is best not to
use unnecessary words in giving COM
mands.
If you have not feed sufficient to keep
the pigs growing, some of them should
be sold.
Do you believe the health of horse
largely depends upon the cleanliness Of
his skim
A dairy school in every State would
revolutionize the dairy and creamery
business.
Better throw the grain feed among
straw or leaves and make the fowls scratch
for their living.
A small lump of pine tar in the drink
ing water supplied to the fowls will be
found beneficial.
In purchasing a horse, always reject
one that is not good walker. 1t is an
important quality.
The failure to make sheep pay can, to
considerable extent, be traced to failure
to give proper care.
Destroy old blackberry and raspberry
canes as fast as they become useless, and
thus destroy insects.
Two full crops-one of weeds and one
of grain or roots-cannot grow on the
same soil at the same time.
Set out groves of sugar maple as wind
breaks. In few years you will have
both a windbreak and a sugar orchard.
This is the month you will have TO de-
termine what birds you Will exhibit at
the coming shows. Make your entries
on time.
In many cases it will pay to purchase
and feed bran, shipstuff and oil meal to
the growing pigs. 1t will be better and
cheaper than corn.
Sugar beets are counted worth ten dol
lars per ton for feeding, and they are as
easily grown as corn or potatoes. They
will keep as well as mangolds.
In these days the fascination of a
sspure bred" is not strong enough to
loosen the purse strings Of a business
man unless you show that great profit
may be had.
Raising plug horses for market rarely
pays. They cost as much TO raise as the
better class and sell for much less. Re-
member this this fall when engaging o
horse for service.
