The market has been under the hammer all
day, and the impression made on prices is COM
paratively Slight The bear faction failed to
dislodge long stock and the short interest ac-
cording to all appearances, has been considera-
bly, enlarged. Vague rumors of trouble in com
mercial circles were current, but the more i'm
portant one received a denial from well inform
ed bankers. The speculation has resisted at
tacks of the bears with encouraging fortitude,
for there are few feature at the moment likely
to assist the operators for fall.
1t is gratifying to note that number of prom
inent men who have just returned from the west
are satisfied with the unexpectedly good physi-
cal condition in which several properties were
found. The significance of this lies in the fact
that it will permit large economies in opera
tons which will tend to lessen the effect of de-
creased gross earnings. At the same time 1t is
probable that a lean period lies before the
roads, and it may be some time before compar-
Isons OF earnings will afford much encourage
ment. 1t does not seem probable that there
VIII be any new accession of outside support so
long as business uncertainties prevail, and the
movement of industry continues on restricted
and conservative scale. Financial conditions
abroad are not conducive to foreign support,
and the general outlook at home is too clouded
to permit restoration of full confidence. In
the absence of favorable developments little
may be looked for in the market. except occa-
sional rallies when the short interest becomes
excessive, but the professional is receiving
large but weak company ON the bear side and
1t is not unlikely the speculative situation is ap
preaching point when an upward twist is in

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month of October,
$685. wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are so rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only a relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor so all-important in the
transaction of Life Insurance Business
is of such a marked character, that a
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January 1st to October
31st, 1898, amounts to 1919, 1926 and when
compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows a very substantial de-
crease, thus

Turkeys Carrying Their Young.

The frequent remark that the turkey
hen will have better success in raising
her young if she Swallowed to carr,
them to the fields and manage them in
her own way, is true so far as the young
turkeys,are concerned after they have
reached the age of ten or twelve weeks,
but the turkey hen is just as unfortu.
nate with very young turkeys as are the
persons who take charge of the hens
and broods. The fact is that young
turkeys are very susceptible to damp
ness. and as they feather very rapidly
they require plenty of heterogeneous and
mineral food. which must be supplied
1t happens that the turkey hen some
times secures a greater variety of suita
BILE food when she is running at large
than when confined. which accounts fol
her success sometimes. The greatest
loss to young turkeys is due to the larg
gray lice, which work on the heads
and throats, but which cannot be seer

An Industry Which, in Time, VIII Pay
Usurious Interest.
At the present rate of consumption
the apparent supply of timber in the
United States will last for 1920 years,
but an increased demand would easily
reduce the period to a century. For
ests disappear at the rate Of thou
sands of acres annually. 1t takes many
years to replace this loss besides that
which may be caused by large forest
fires. There is no doubt that good
deal of money could be made out OF
land that is now idle by planting it to
forest trees. 1t will take few years
for the trees to get large enough to bring
any returns, and the interest on the
money invested is the only thing lost
in the meantime. Break the sod in

August the land may be plowed length.

CORN CULTIVATION.
The so-CalIed Old Method Compared
with the New.

Ihe so-Calied Old Method Compared
with the New.
The old method of deep cultivation
up to the time the corn is too large to
run in the rows safely with the horse
and cultivator, is being abandoned. It
is now found that the first two
civilizations may to an advantage be
deep as weed destroyers, but after the
roots begin to run out well in the rows
shallow cultivation is best. The dis
turbing or cutting of the roots by deep
cultivation is now considered mistake.
Breaking and checking the roots in hot
weather will surely cause the corn to
curl and appear to suffer as from pro-
tracted drought. Shallow cultivation
at the same period merely stirs the soil
above the roots and leaves the soil in
the proper loose or porous condition to
secure best growing results.
The main objects in cultivation are tC
keep down the weeds and at the same
time leave the soil in a condition tC
best absorb moisture and atmosphere
Killing corn has also been done away
with by many of the best farmers. il
the corn has been planted from one anc
half to two inches deep and leve
culture followed, better results follow
With level culture the corn is not Sc
easily blown down and stands drought
