1T OPENS UP WELL
Business for the New Year Is
Promising.
DuLLNESs IN CERTAIN LINES
The Wonderful Prosperity of Last Year
Win Not Be Equzlsd BY the
Present One.

NEW YORK. Jan. Or G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
Ire business OF the new year opens
we'll. though there has hardly been
time as yet to get fairly under way. In
some branches OF manufacturing there
Is very conservative feeling, owing to
the scantiness Of satisfactory orders.
but IN the textile branches the extraor-
binary demand creates general conf
dencs. In every part OF the country
and apparently in almost every branch
of business the traders are looking for
ward to year of large transactions.
But in financial circles the year opens
at q considerable feeling of uncer-
talnty. owing to . revival OF gold ex-
ports. which will be about $1,000 900
for the current week, and to the
doubts about tho action of congress.
The annual reports of various branches
of trade come IN with fresh evidence OF
the unsurpassed property and volume
| of business IN 1892, but cast no clear
| light upon the future, which depends
IN . large degree upon monetary in-
| tiuences. The government crop report
started little stronger buying, but
wheat soon reacted to 77sc, . decline
Of nearly lic for the week; western re-
ceipts IN three days being over :, 900. 900
bushels. In spite of the large receipts
corn gained over.lc for the week, and
oats also, while pork rose 81 and lard
soc, and hogs soc per 100 pounds. Cof-
fee IS under, and oil lie stronger, but
cotton showed no change, with sales OF
$50, 900 bales.
| Enormous Business of Last Year.
! Speculation in stocks 10 depressed BY
monetary anxiety, although reports OF
traffic and other things continue more
favorable. Government and other
large disbursements make the money
| market easier, but bankers expect ex-
ports Of gold ~ continue for some
time.
Industrial reports are mainly con-
fined to the unprecedented transaction.
OF last year, but in iron . weaker tone
IS manifest, with reports of reduced
prices for pig by some southern con,
Germs. Deliveries of rails for the past
year were but 800, 900 tons. The Ca.
pacity outruns the demand for finished
products, so that markets are irregular
and weak, though In structural and
sheet iron large business is in pros
pect. The condition in relations of the
Lehigh and Reading does not effect
prices OF coal. Copper and tin are wei
supported, but lead rather weak.
The most prosperous year ever
known IN textile manufactures leavel
the full production Of most of the
mills sold for months ahead. aud the
new year opens with great strength II
woolens and cottons.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the
last seven days number for the Unitee
States 323, and for Canada seventeen
or q total of $40, as compared with ,
total of 435 for the corresponding weel
OF last year, representing 1913 failures
IN the United States and forty-tw0 il
the Dominion of Canada.

wood.. church 500 Years old.

The oldest wooden building in the
world is the church at Borgund, in Nor.
way, which was built in the eleventh
century, and has been preserved from
the effects of the weather by repeated
coatings of pitch. 1t is built of pine,
and is of fantastic Romanesque design
with strangely-carved wooden pima
cles and a great deal of carving in high
relief all over the interior of the church.
The old stone altar still stands, but the
church Is no longer used for service.

"A large quantity of the finest manure
to spread on the land in the winter.
But when it is possible to haul out
the manure in the winter it some-
times IL q question whether 1t will
pay to take a week from the crop aud

the corn crop say one week.
Now, can say from experience
that il will pay, and pay well, for the

Some OF the writers are wasting
lots Of INK in the assertion that the
quantity OF butter fat in milk eau
not be changed by changing the
character Of the feed. But as there
are hundreds and perhaps thousands
of our best farmers who have done
Just that thing, and do it almost
every year, ana who do not hesitate
to buy cows that have poor or email
butter records, if they have the APP
pearance of good cows, and feed them
up uutil they make butter enough to
pay for good keeping, it is not Of
much use to try to convince them
that the good qualities OF a cow are
not "half in the feed and half III the
breed" or, ~ an old farmer told W.
years ago, the COW that was "half
Jersey and the other half corn me&ln
could be depended upon to make
good butter and lots Of it.
The experiment stations may not
make great changes in the quality of
milk in "A three weeks test, hat q
great change can be made in six
months, add a greater in a year,
while we think that q second year of
liberal feeding would prove still more
profitable in increasing the butter
product or the cheese product either.

Grass Sod For Corn aud Potatoes.

An important question Away
comes up at this time. 1t is in re-
gard to the turning under or clover
or u grass sol for corn or potatoes.
Is il best 10 turn the sod some time
before the planting or Immediately
before it? Experience goes 10 show
that IN many cases, if not invariably,
the blowing Of the SOD Immediately
before the planting has been the
brst for the crop The sod il really
the manure, but it has another effect,
viz that OF making the soil opeu aud
mellow. Both the plant food in the
soil and the condition Of the land are
better for these crops when they are
planted on the newly.turned land
The succulent heritage is quickly
rotted and the young plants gain all
the benefit of the decomposition,
which not Only Supplies food but has
physical result OF the soil and
brings it into the very best condition
for plant growth. The decay of the
organic matter gives out some heat,
which il certainly beneficial to the
young plants, and it supplies food as
ra,idly a. it is needed.
There is one other point which is
not to be missed. This is that the
seed terminates more quickly in the
fresh soil, and a saving of few days
may easily make an important differ
ence in the maturity and safety of
the crop. Besides this, the weeds are
not go forward aud more time is
given to destroy them by the first
cultivation, which should always be
given as soon a. tue painting IL COM
p'eted. There is no need to wait for
them to appesr. We know they are
there and the sooner they can be at
lacked the more easily they will he
destroyed. AS the marks of the
planter make the rows distinctly
visible, the cultivator need not wait
for the plants TO appear, and the
wOrl; may be begun without any de-
lay, while il they have had more time
to grow the labor Of XII ling them will
be doubled.-N. Y. Times.

10 Make Cows DO Their Best.

The American Agriculturist says:
Those who want TO make dairy COWS
do their best must in some way pro.
vide clover pasture in summer ana
clover hay in winter. The COW is do
ing bard work when she converts her
food into milk, and ought not to be
required to "hustle" much for her
living. If it taxes her all day to get
three square meals, she cannot do
what she would really like to do in
the milk-producing line, but when
she stands half deep in fragrant
clover, and has only TO take q few
nips for swell balanced ration"
and then lies down with "a grunt of
content and meditatively chews her
cud, she will do justice to her pedi-
gree, and show what she was made
for. Glover seed is high and likely
to be higher, but clover seed is the
one thing that the progressive farmer
must have, no matter what it costs
If he grows his own seed, so much
the better, but he must so do it, II he
has to buy at the seedsmens' prices

Improvement Of Horses.

The sooner the farmers in the Uhi-
ted States realize the fact that the
ordinary and commonly bred horse
is likely to deteriorate in value year
bv wear, says II writer in Harper's
Weekly. the better it will be for
them. The use of cables to drag
street cars has already reduced the
service performed by horses in the
cities, and the extension of the troll
lev system IN the suburbs and the
perfection of the electric motors will
relieve many other thousands of
horse : from such service. 1t has not
been 80 very long since nearly all the
threshing vas done by horses; now
only a very small percentage of even
the neutrality-suspicious. are worked
by horse power. Practically all Of
the blowing is now done by horse, /;
but a cheap aud practical steam
pillow W i'll be shown TO visitors at the
Worlds Fair, and it is not improba-
BILE that i'm ten years from now quite
a large percentage of blowing will be
done without the aid of horses.
The need in the cities and on the
farms for fewer horses will tend more
aud more to reduce their market
