BraIstreet,s Financial Review.

NEW YORK, April 10. -Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Excessive dullness prevailed in specu
lative circles during the greater part of
the week, the condition of the market
being in marked contrast to the activ-
ity which asserted itself q fortnight
ago. The prevalent lethargy would
seem to be mainly due to the some
what dubious position of the crops and
the belief that the uniavorable
weather since April 1, negatives the
rather cheerful showing made by the
government crop report of that date.
Uncertainty about tariff legislation has
again become a factor and tended
to create hesitation on the part of
large speculative interests. London
has done practically nothing, and it
would seem now that the recent buy
ing from that quarter wasl maiDly the
work of professional dealers or jobbers
of stocks who purchased with a view
to the probability Of selling to the for
eign public at an advance within the
next few months.
An Investment demand for bonds
and few his b grade stocks still as
serts itself, but buying has been prac.
tically suspended for the time being.
In spite OF this the market was gener-
ally firm with a notable absence OF
any general attacks on values
by professional traders. The
bears, it is true, have made
some slight impression on a few stocks
A little realizing by small operators

t!ced, but the market as whole shows
plainly that there is at present to OPP
portunity for or desire to bid, the fact
that weakness in prices is accompanied
by dizziness being significant indica~
ton. The engagements of gold for ex-
port amounting to So, 950,000 had a
little effect, and at the close of the day
the market was stimulated by the an
nouncement of strong reorganization
committee for the Atchison company.
Little interest was shown IN the rail-
road list.

HorsI Logic.

A healthy foal will usually have
movement of the bowels in one, or at
most, two hours after standing on IFS
feet. Should they remain inactive
for longer period, with no other
symptoms, then castor oil given in
ternally, with injections in the rec
tum of tepid water, would be benefi-
cial.
Prof Sanborn reports, after two
carefully conducted experiments, that
there is very little, if anything, in the
theory that watering Immediately
after feeding causes the food TO be
washed or forced out OF the stomach
into the intestines, where it will not
receive the benefits from the gastric
juices of the stomach to aid digestion.
Prof. Sanborn concludes that sit
seems advisable to water before and
after feeding, which logically means
give water whenever needed.
The use of the biting sulky is very
essential in training colt, but it
must be used judiciously or it will do
more harm than good. 1t should be
left on but short time at first, not
more than an hour, gradually increas-
ing the time to half day. A great
deal of style can be developed, and .
colt well-trained in this way will
never need a check-rein to keep its
head up.--Northwestern Agriculture
ist'
If the horses are at pasture, take
them up during the day through July
and August and give them a dark
stable or shed. They can get enough
to eat when the sun and flies do not
combine to make them unhappy and
poor. The mixture of cottonseed oil
and little pine tar sopped on the
underside Of the head, breast and
forelegs " i'll do much toward keeping
off flies. Mares and colts suffer par
ticularly.
He who treats his horse as he treats
himself will not make any mistakes.
What man, after hard run on bot
day, would jump under shower
bath? Some men have tried it and
have died. Yet men have been known
to turn the nose on heated no Sc, or
dash cold water over him, and think
they were doing him good turn.
EVERYBODY knows how refreshing it is
to battle the face in cold water when
heated, and to rinse the m0uth, but 70
use too freely over the heated body is
very dangerous experinent.-Mass.

Will Not Work in Texas

A bill has been introduced into the
New York Assembly by legislator
named Eldridge, amending the penal
code so as to make it a misdemeanor
for any person to peddle without a
license. This is All attempt to compel
farmers to take out license in order
to sell their products at retail. 1t is
very doubtful whether such g law
would be constitutional if adopted.
A ttempts by aldermen of various
cities have often been made to
put farmers under restrictions for
the benefit of retail dealers, and they
have always core to naught.
1t is as much against the interest of
consumers as it is to farmers to have
retail trade on farm products unre-
strained. The constitutional conven-
ton in New York this year
should frame a constitution in which
the right of farmers to sell without
hindrance the wholesome, natural
products of their farms could not be
intertered with by any intermeddling
legislation, either state of local. Am.
CuitivatOr.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1894-04-19
Fertilizers.

There are certain facts concerning
three valuable Ingredients OF plant
food, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, which should be understood
by all farmers who expect to succeed
with fertilizers.
Nitrogen is the most costly ele-
ment Of plant food, and losses from
fertilizers are often due to eXtrava.
CANT and i-judicious Use of nitrogen.
Expenses LOT nitrogen may be re-
duced by practiciDg green manuring;
that is, ry planting clover, peas, or
vetches, which have the property OF
absorbing nitrogen from the air.
Green manurlng pays best on light
soils, but is of no benefit to the peaty
soils.
Phosphoric acid and potash, though
present in nearly all coils, are 70 the
most part insoluO ole, and therefore in
an unavailable condition. Small guam
ties of these mineral plant foods are
annually dissolved by soil water and
plant acids, hut not enough to supply
the plant roots sufficiently with nour-
ishment. For this reason, phosphoric
acid and potash must he added 10 the
soil if full crop is desired.
Nitrogen must be applied during
the growing season as that is
the time when needed by the plants,
and it is we'll TO apply it as a top
dressing. Nitrogen is apt to leach out
with the soil water.
Phosphoric acid and potash are best
applied some weeks before planting
crop and should be plowed under.
There is little danger OF teaching from
these mineral fertilizers.
Kainit is a good form of potash for
sandy soils, as it makes them more
compact; for stiff soils muriate and
sulphate of potash are best.
Potash is especially valuable for
fruits, tobacco, potatoes and vege-
tables of all kinds.
Sandy and limestone soils nearly al.
ways need potash. Clay soils some.
times contain sufficient potash apd
again they do not; this should be as
certained by experiment.

decay for long time. Potatoes lay
cred in lime kept for IA months,
and were in as good condition
as when dug. Beets, onions,
apples, grapes and ounces similarly
treated kept we'll for varying periods,
but all for several months longer than
they would have done ordinarily. The
lime keeps away moisture, prevents
the fruit from absorbing unpleasant
odors, and destroys any microbes that
may have found q resting place upon
the skin or about the stem. This is
preventive within the reach of all, and
much cheaper than cold storage.-ES.

Bre ading "Cattleo. "

Among the late arrivals is William
Weavey of Durbin, N. D., who is en-
gagged in raising "cattleo." or half
breed buffaloes and domestic cattle
The word "cattleo'' is a compromising
!. of the two words cattle and buffalo.
Mr.. Weavey has brought three OF his
, half bloods and four pure buffaloes
salong. They are all very hadsome an
finals, of different ages, aud the cat
tleo, which are young, are Of a ricn,
seal brown color and as fat as moles.
Mr.. Weavey, who is a pioneer OF
Dakota, was for some years extern
sivelv engaged in raising wheat. One
year he raised as much as $4,000 bush
els, but later he retrenched. Four
years ago he hit on the novel industry
of raising cattleo, and he now sees
much money in it.
The reason for this is that both the
meat and the skins are vastly more
valuable than of the buffalo or cattle.
Mr.. Weavey at first had much trouble
in getting cross that would survive.
MANY men had tried it, but as a gen.
eral thing it was failure. Mr. Weayey
brought a number OF buiTaloes to his
farm and made many experiments.
At length he tried cross OF the
BOILED Angus breed of cattle with the
buffalo, and soou began to get results
3that were entirely satisfactory. AT
FIST the young cattle died, being
slbrought forth at the wrong season of
the year, but in time MIR. Weavey
J learned if they came with the new
spring grass OF the prairies they would
flourish like the grass. He began with
one buffalo bull and polled Angus
cow. and now has as pretty a little
herd as one could wish to see.
Besides he has sold skins and meat
enough to bring him handsome rev
enue. The skins are much superior
to those of the full blocd buffalo, the
fur being finer and longer and OF the
uniform seal-brown color. They are
worth. Oh the average, from SlOO to
$3.50 apriece, but the skin was so line
that he got $3.50 for it. The meats at
least so Ter cent finer than buffalo,
too. partaking of the native wlsdness
of that animal and the high blood OF
the Polled Angus. The latter oreed is
black. which accounts for the rich,
uniform color of the cattleo.
Ont of both the skins and meat,
therefore, it will be seen that If they
Nhrive with anything like the certainty
tof domestic cattle there ia plenty OF
money in it. But another thing has
been discovered which was unlocked
for and that is that the cattleo are
much larger than the buffalo.
Two of Mr.. Weavey's yearling cdttleo
now weigh over 100 pounds each; One
of the cattleo, too, oddly enough, is
without horns, like the polled Angus
cattle, which never have any horns.
The cattleo show the heavy shoulders
and stout neck of the buffalo, but not
to the degree, by any means, OF the
/ latter animals. Altogether, they are
nretty and docile animals. His object
IN bringing them here was to exhibit
them at the fair. and thus TO illustrate
what could be done in propagatiDg
new bovine race, which, in his judy
ment, is to succeed and prove much
