Brdditreets.

The market Is showing more activity,
sales footing up in excess OF 4,5OO, 900
pounds. More manufacturers have been in
the market, and in some instances they
have purchased large blocks. The princi-
pal movement has been in territory grades,
the sales including 9. 236, 900 pounds of this
kind, GAO, 900 pounds of Texas, and $4,000
pounds OF Oregon. About 100000 pounds
of washed feeces were sold, mostly Ohio.
For Xxx and above Ohio 23a24c is yet
quoted, with delaines at 25c for choice par
cells. Medium fieeces are in very good de-
mand, while spot stocks are well reduced.
A steady tone is noted for one-quarter and

featureless. The next London sale opens
November 2S. but it now looks as though
few American buyers will be present.

DRX GOODS.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-The vino. up
of the week shows in looking back, but
very little important interest bearing on
any line Of goods during the week. There
has been little improvement in the plac
ing Of spring orders for goods and perhaps
enough done to give some small indication
of the outlook OF the market for spring
trade. Staple cotton goods show limited
request and the demand is generally poor.
Colored goods are comparatively neglected:
Print cloths continue firm. Prints and
print fabrics are, however, In little bet
ter request. Ginghams and woven fabrics
in slightly improved demand, but dress
goods are stagnant in almost all lines. The
demand for foreign dry goods has been
rather fair, taking the week through, but
not important on any line.

Just here it is in place to state Just how
the amount Of work done by these in
sects is ascertained. The fruit that falls
and shows the mark of the curculio is
carefully collected and counted, and
then placed in a vessel covered with
cloth netting to keep out intruders, and
to day the curculiO larva leave the fruit,
then they are placed in another jar that
contains sand sifted to make sure that
nothing is introduced that is not wanted.
This jar is also carefully screened. In
few days the parasitic flies emerge as also
do the curculiO. After little observation
one can distinguish between the parasit-
lied larva and that not parastized.
The curculiO during it's larval growth
stores up great amount of fatty matter.
This is made use of by the parasitic
larva and thus both host and guest can
live along in the same skin for some time.
About the time the host is full grown the
parasite is nearly so, and to complete it's
growth it is now compelled to eat on the
vitals OF the host and thus completes the
destruction.
DIR. Riley and others have repeatedly
observed the parasitic fly while eating
through the skin of the curculiO and
finally reduce it to nothing.
After these little parasites have com
pleted the destruction of the host they
spin yellowish brown cocoon of silk
and at the same time curculio immerge.
these flies also come out. (See figure Of

Can Farming be Made Profitable


For some years past farmers have been
losing ground as to the matter of realiz-
ing any gain or profit from their line of
labor; and especially SO in comparison
with those who pursue other useful in
dustries and callings. For this there is
some real cause or causes and it BELTS us
to find the same and endeavor to have
the proper line of remedy applied.
II we are truly interested in the farm
ing interests there is a field Of work right
at hand for us, calling for our highest in
telligences as we'll as our most earnest
efforts. This work is to bring farming
interests up to a point where there is
some perceptible gain to be realized by
the average farmer There need be no
doubt entertained, but what this can be
accomplished.
To state that the earth does not bring
forth Of her products of grain and fruits,
of milk and oil and honey, of roots and
grass and meat as abundantly as of old
would be only folly. To state that the
cost Of producing these crops is greater
now than in the past would be untrue.
To state that the prices now obtainable
are lower than is meet and proper would
be only idle talk. If our fathers were
able to gain livelihood from agricultural
pursuits, why then ought not we to be
able so to do? Have the seasons lost their
courses or bring not with them the timely
sunshine and rain as in the former days?
Labor saving machinery has enabled
large farmers, on favOra bic lands, to pro-
duce crops at less cost than can others
not SO we'll situated. Railroads and in
creased water transportation facilities
have enabled farmers to transport their
crops from far distant points at little
expense. Home markets as formerly
understood, have become almost, if not
quite unimpOrtant. A general uniform
ity of price, for any specified product,
prevails pretty largely throughout the
length and breadth of this country.
While these discernable changes have
been brought about within the genera
ton just now passing away, other changes
by no means unimportant, have oc-

costs them less to replace their tools and

dollar will purchase more of what
farmers have need to buy, at the present
time, than in the past-except it is in
some lines Of personal service. Lands
have advanced in price at some points
and have fallen at other points.
supplementary fertilizers are more at
tainable than was the case time gone
by. What then is there to prevent the
farmers of this day from living as well
as did their fathers?
Why then co we complain so griev-
Ously of our lot? Are the farmers of
any other CO. ntry better situated than
are those Of It's country? Are their sur
rOundings aught more comfortable? Do
they enjoy any larger measure of indie
pendence? 1t is no doubt quite true the
farmers Of France are more prOsperOus.

for on the score of their greater prudence
their more untiring industry, producing
more fully their required food supplies
within themselves, commonly having
some surplus products to sell, wasting
nothing, having small holdings of land
and these kept under excellent tillage
and good fertility. In broad sense we
may call them teachers of practical
husbandry, to the farmers of this coun-
try.
Nor need we go so far from home to
find others who can teach us of husband
ry; across the line in Canada, in the
British Isles, their system of rotation of
crops, of long standing meadows and of
more thorough preparation of the land to
receive the seed, and better tillage and
stronger fertilizing, all or sing1y may
serve us as an object lesson from which
we can copy with profit to ourselves.
But aside from these practical lessons
continually spread before us, we find
certain conditions pertaining to this
country that must needs be changed be-
fore our farmers can go forward with
that same measure of courage and pros
perity existent prior to 1860. TO refer
to these conditions but briefly is all that
we can now do, as any rev1ewof their ex-
tended influence would lengthen this ar
ticle unduly. LIST. Farming to-day is
largely based upon the growing Of money
crops instead of crops for home consump-
ton, this was much less the case for
merly.
2nd. A moderate surplus of certain
lines of products is called for to insure
success, while this may not be in any
sense alluring it's general result is mainly
independence and freedom from debt
Bird. All attempts to get rich off the
farm can be considered only as wild and
distracted ideas, almost sure to bring dis
cOntentment sooner or later Such ideas
have been fostered too largely within the
present generation.
4th. Manufactured goods having been
largely fOstered by the general govern
ment were thus enabled to hold up prices
disprOpOrtiOnately high in comparison
With farm products, relatively to the
cost of production; the result of which
has been taking little daily from farmer
Peter to donate the same unto manufact-
urer Paul
9Th. Professional services prior to 1862
were more on a par with the farmers
earnings; since that time they have been
largely accomplished by i'll advised leg
islation, the result of which is, the farm
ers now have to give about four or five
days labor in exchange for one from the
professional worker.
9th. Officers fees have been doubled
or trebled and in some cases still more
largely increased while the income Of
the farmer remains about the same as of
eye Olden time" 1t is not at all strange
that farmers sons are leaving their homes
to better their condition or that half the
farmers have become office-Seekers.
18th. Taxes have been trebled or still
more largely increased, while the farm
income is nearly or quite the same as
thirty odd years ago. Is it any wonder
the farmers groan under the burden
placed upon them? A false light along

Orchard Grass For Pasture.

Owing to its habit of starting anew as
soon as cut down, almost without regard
to weather or season of the year, if the
ground is not frozen, orchard grass
makes an excellent pasture when thickly
seeded, giving feed both early and late
in the season. 1t will bear continuous
feeding better than almost anything but
blue grass, but it has one fault: If not
cutor fed down, the last late fall growth,
when heavy, is liable to fall down upon
the crown of the roots and smother itself
out. Those who have it should look out
that there is not much left standing on
the field when winter comes in. 1t is also
easily smotaered by weeds when it first
comes up, and if they are plenty they
should be mown down until the grass
gets above them.
For pasture SOW in April or May, using
about % bushels of seed to the acre. 1t
may be mown twice the first year if it
does well, and moving one or two years
would seem to make better pasture after
ward than to turn the cattle on the first
season. The tufts stool out more and get
q better and deeper hold. 1t will grow
upon almost any field where blue grass
will, though it likes best rich, deer
soil. If not mown, the cattle should moi
be turned ON it before the late fall, but
it might be cut and fed green or cured
in July. We should certainly sow blue
grass and white clover with it for pastur-
age unless seen that they would come in
spontaneously, says American Cultiva-
tor, authority for the foregoing.
