Small Fruits.

Now it is time to apply manure to black
berries, currantS, raspberrieS and other
small fruits. 1t should be scattered broad
cast at the roots of these plants, which
should run over considerable territory. Au-
tumn and early winter are the most favor
able seasons for spreading the manure,
since the rains and SHOWS OF winter can dis
tribute the fertility through every portion
of the soil much more cheaply and effect
lively than man can with the best OF tools
for the purpose. With the so-called hardy
varieties OF fruits winter protection, even
I'm quite northern ATTITUDES does not appear
very general, and yet without doubt this
IS the true plan. If cultivators could but
see how their crops are oftentimes dimin-
ished by severe winters, even when plants
are not killed outright by the changes Of
temperature, protection would more regu-
larly be given. 1t is quite a simple thing
to cover the roots of plants several inches
deep with leaves or hay just after the
ground has begun to freeze, and thus pre-
vent the alternate freezing and thawing
which proves so injurious. In addition.
raspberry vines should be bent down and
covered partially at least. Winter winds
harm the canes to a considerable extent.
Opportunity is offered TO establish new
plantations until the ground freezes and
puts an end TO such operations. In trans
planting remove fully one-haif the canes
and set out in well-mellowed soil; cover
with deep mulch and protect the entire
plants as we'll as possible. If spring work
will not be too pressing the plants may be
secured now and "heeled in" 10 be in read
mess for setting early next spring. Really,
spring is a better season for transplanting
than fall.

Doing Away with Pastures.

HARTFORD COurdnI.
A. B. Barrett thinks that good farmers
will soon adopt soiling almost exclusively
in place of paSturage. That a steadier sup
ply of food can thus be provided is UNI
questioned. Pasturing is wasteful, whether
there is abundance of feed or not. Mr..
one and a half or two acres OF good rich
land can be made to furnish feed for a
COW a whole year, but in pasturing five
acres are required for summer and one for
hay for winter feed. The saving in this
is quite evident, especially where the tax
on every acre amounts 10 considerable.
Now. in the fall, is the time TO begin soil
ing. and to do it properly preparations
should be made so that the first feeding
can be made in April, and steadily there
after, Winter rye Is the first crop that
should be planted. This should be put in
in October or at the latest November. With
good preparation of the soil and good seed
ing the rye should take a steady growth
as soon as the first signs of spring appear.
too. and the rye will last until the grass
is ready TO grow up for eating. Clover or
orchard grass seeds must be sown, too. for
they give an abundance Of good, rich food.
Early corn must be planted as soon as pos
sible in the spring, and by the time the
clover or orchard grass gives out the green
corn should be ready for eating TO take
up the succession. Mednwhi the second
when the corn gives out the rye will be
ready for fall food.
Thus. all through the summer. a success
sion of green crops has been supplied TO the
COWS. and. with a little preparation in an
other line. the same can be continued
through the winter. Either beets or man
gels. or silage should be grown for winter
feeding. and this VIII complete the year.
To grow all of these crops considerable
planning is required, hut after the success
sion is once practiced il is no. a difficult
matter 10 follow and improve upon it.
Every available space of land must be util-
| lied.

Trade Taking ON n Holiday Volume
with Few ChnnEes I'm XnImes.

with Few Changes I'm Values.
In most departments trade is taking on a
holiday dullness. The retail merchants are
purchasing only goods which they can dis
pose of largely before the close OF the year
and In the way Of replenishing broken
stocks. In prices but few changes need be
looked for until after New Years. when,
1t is thought, there will be some declines
which will be a surprise in certain lines.
The houses that handle largely holiday
goods say that their trade Is 30 TO so per
cent. less than during the corresponding
ante-holiday season last year. Only the
confectionery houses speak of trade as very
satisfactory. In prices yesterday there
were no material changes. Poultry Is weak
for this season Of the year on heavy re-
ceipts. Apples have been placed on the
luxury list. Everything in the vegetable
line Is low, only potatoes being In good re,
quest. frlces IN dry goods were revised
yesterday, the tendency being 10 a lower
basis.
The local grain market shows more activ-
ity, the decline in rates acting as a stimu-
liant TO grain men, who are anxious TO
profit through such rates before they adj
vance. or the market drops TO such a point

NEW LOW MARK MADE
Wheat Touched &C lac, but Raj
lied and Closed at 90 SAC.
No Material Changes in Corn and Oats,
but Provisions Showed Strength
and Made Advances.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Buying by shorts
caused by the low price and diminishing re-
ceipts resulted in a gain for wheat to-day
and May closed &c higher than yesterday
after touching 66Ac. Corn and oats aver
aged weak, and each lost a fraction of
their yesterdays closing values. Provis-
ions were irregular strong at first, then
weak. and wound up strong again.
Wheat opened unchanged at 661kc. The
market still felt the depressing influence
of yesterdays increase in the visible sup
ply and declined until it had made a new
low price record for May at 66Ac. There
was news in which the bulls found some
consolation, however. The Baltic and other
shipping ports exclusive of Indian and
American. exported 100000 bushels Of
wheat last week, which indicates a consid-
cradle falling off in Russian shipments.
Indian exports were $4,000 bushels. The
Northwestern receipts here also were light
In comparison both with those Of the week
before and of a year ago Minneapolis re-
ported 1872 cars received, and Duluth in
spected into store 164 cars. making together
356, against 554 a week ago, and 757 cars on
the corresponding day Of last year. Chica-
go received III cars, compared with Ala a
year ago. On this showing May advanced
30 " OO1BCp MllSIS IL Gu oNCdOy lOI d tCOll-
siderable time. Once again on lower Liver
pool cables it dropped to 66Ac, but soon
rallied. Export clearances amounted in
wheat and flour to 3O0,O 600 bushels from the
four principal Atlantic ports and New
Orleans and on this Improvement there was
some advance. Then shorts seemed to de-
termine hat the bottom had been reached
in prices and began to take wheat, n. b.
Ream leading in the buying. With this,
the price advanced steadily until the close,
and May finished at the top figure of the
day. May opened at 66lkc. lost &c, then ssc,
rallied Ac, lost lac, and advanced nc, to
close at 66Lc.
Corn began the day at &c loss, with May
at 3SZsc. The receipts were SOC cars. against
the estimate of $50, and this, with the heav-
mess In wheat, sent the price down hc.
Later the strength in wheat caused a re-
action Of Ac, and May closed at the open
ing figure.
Oats opened &c lower. with May at 30sc.
and, with free selling. lost sc, touching
294c. Boyd-Dunham were good buyers, sup
posed to be covering shorts for Cudahy,
of Milwaukee. With other traders buying
/ May advanced 13c, and closed but &c from
the top figures OF the day, at 9Ohc.
Provisions were active and fluctuations
considerable. Hog receipts were smaller
than expected, and the market opened
strong and higher. but the packers sold
cline followed. Shorts bought freely on the
decline. and a reaction followed. closing
prices being higher all around. Compared
with last night, January pork is 10c higher,
January lard .07lAc higher and January
ribs .15c higher.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, 400: oats, 100; hogs,
10000. Leading futures ranged as follows:

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-The dry-goods
market in general is showing the effect Of
the approaching holidays and the volume
of business is moderate. The feature of the
market Is a tendency to mark up favorite
tickets in the way of white cottons, with
brown goods likely to follow to what is
called by the manufacturers something
nearer the basis of value. Print cloths are
quoted at Sc for Ga squares. with the de-
mand preventing accumulation and some
belief in larger activity with the new year.
The same is true of ginghams and woven
dress goods: wooden goods remain slow Of
sale, the favorable weather having failed
to justify the hope of sellers. The foreign
dry-goods trade shows only moderate or
ders and a disposition on the part of sellers
to let no buyer escape. The jobbing trade
is dull.

Permanent Agriculture.
Philadelphia Record.

l@8At
There is one fact about our agriculture
which cannot be questiOned-the only per-
manent agriculture is that which provides
not merely for maintaining, but for increas-
ing the fertility of the soil. Ii Is not prac-
tically possible to keep the soil in any
given condition of fertility. II must either
grow worse or improve. and ii is in our
own hands to decide which il shall be. II
the cement be such as to cause the
land TO grow poorer. IL is hardly possible TO
make any permanent or profitable success
with the crops. Large crops cannot be at
tanned by such methods. not even any regu-
laritv of medium ones. If the soils get
barely enough fertility to make a crop il
will usually be a poor and Improbable one.
The system which increases fertility natur-
ally improves the yield. each year. II also
puts the soil in such mechanical condition
that IL Is less likely 10 be injured by drought
or excessive rainfall.
one OF the most handy utensils about a
farm and baruyard is "A wheelbarrow whose
wheel has a broad tire. The common mar
row tire on a barrow wheel cuts into the
soft ground so that ii makes IL a very hard
vehicle to propel.
