Generally the foreign sorts of gooseber.
ries have been found so difficult to grow
free from mIldew that their culture has
been largely given up IN this country.
Fortunately. however, we have O good list

are ordinarily hardy and free from disease.
Formerly / have been quite suocessful IN
growing several native sorts of gOoseber-
ries. and for q few years before changing
my location grew considerable quantities
for market.
To be successful with the gooseberry re-
auires some skill and Judgment. In locat-
Ing the gooseberry plat. select. If possible.

scorching rays full upon the bushes mnch
past midday. The soil Should be neither
too wet nor too dry. a moist soil well un-
derdrained, SO no water will stand about
the roots at any season. IL preferable.
Work the soil deep-no danger of going tco
manure and work 1t into the soil before
setting the plants. Keep up the fertility
afterwerd by fall applications of manure
and spading IL In between the rows. Mulch
heavily in summer.
PRIME the vines quite severely after the
plants have been set u few years; this will
give large frnit. Keep the gooseberry
worms in check by applying white helle-
bore, first as soon as the eggs are found aft

days go over them again. applying the pol

being to wet all the foliage, especially that

portion OF the eggs is laid on the under side
oi the lower leaves. One or two spplica-
tions after the fruit is gathered should be
given. to destroy later broods of these in

ARE AFRAID OF THE CLIQUE
Shorts Rush to Cover the Instant q
Buying Streak Is Threatened.
More Wheat Dumped on the Chicago Market
in the Early Trading Hours Yesterday than
Conld BE Absorbed by the Short Sellers.
TRADING AT CHICAGO.

All Grain Declined and the Only Changes
in Provisions Were for the Worst.
CHICAGO. March 21.-Tbere was more
wheat for sale to-day than the market left
TO itself could readily absorb. After @
period of weakness, however. came q spas
modic bulge. caused by the appearance of
Parker and Barrett In the pit as buyers of
May. They are known as clique brokers.
and there was instant alarm among the
sports, and q scramble to coverfollowed. The
price rose Ac In a very few minutes. but the
Improvement did not hold, and at the close,
compared with last night, the decline
amounted to lao In May wheat. Ac in July
wheat, lac In May and hcin July corn, and
40 in May oats. Provisions averaged firm
with the exception of lard. which was
weak, but at the end there was no change
since yesterday in the prices of pork, and
lard closed loo and RIBS .07lac lower for
May.
Wheat at the opening was about $50
lower than yesterdays closing. Operators
were puzzled by the operations of brokers
who early sold May and bought July, and
afterwards bought May quite freely at the
decline. 1t Is stiil o question whether the
parties interested on the 'bulT' side OF
wheat are endeavoring to get rid of their
holdings or are increasing their lines. Out
side trade was light; in fact. business was
light all around. The receipts IN the
Northwest were quite free. and cables did
not offer any encouragement to holders.
The fine spring-like weather is a bear
factor, and was somewhat cOunteracted by
talk of q prospective cold wave.
Corn receipts exceeded the estimate of
fifty-four cars. One or two operators sold
literally and prices went off 40sSc.
In oats the pressure to sell was more ur-
gent and the demand slow. Receipts were
larger than expected.
The high price of pork has reduced the
amount OK ported Co such nm extent that
the government microscopic experts here
are working only half time. The feature
in the provision pit to-day was the bidding
up of pork quotations by q prominent pack
ing institution until offerings became lib
eral, when q reaction followed.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are:
oars: hogs, IL. 900 head. The leading futures
ranged as follows:
