Incubators are usually run at 1O3 de-
grees above zero. One very successful
hatcher runs his at 1921 degrees, while
another almost or quite as successful
runs his at 104 degrees. Not few fail
ures in Matching have been due to the
incorrect registering of the temperature
by the thermometer. If the thermometer
indicates less degree than 1921 degrees,
no alarm need be felt-the Matching may
be delayed little, but that is not a seri-
GUS matter-but if the thermometer goes
above 10 then there is good cause for
alarm.
There is a possibility that absolute
uniformity of heat may be disadvan-
tage in Matching, and yet few are willing
to trust to much variation. The varia-
tion secured by the taking out of the eggs
for turning is considered ample for the
requirements of successful hatch, and
the advice given by writer in American
Agriculturist is to secure as great uni
formity of temperature as possible.

Subirrigation In Greenhouses.

Subirrigation is the latest scheme for
greenhouse culture. It is astonishing to
a novice to see how glass gardening is
increasing. Around the great cities are
acres of glass, under which are grown
lettuce, cucumbers, rhubarb-in fact, al
most all the outdoor vegetables. Pro-
fessor Rane, who made the experiments
at West Virginia, considers that subir-
rigation in greenhouses is a pronounced
success. He considers it a more COM

plete system of watering than the usual
sprinklng, as with it the soil does not
harden, bake or dry out. It saves time,
labor and water and causes plants to run
more evenly.
This under watering hastened the
growth of parsley and spinach and gave
better lettuce, tomatoes and radishes.
Fungous diseases were better held in
check-in fact, lettuce rot, one Of the
worst troubles in many greenhouses, was
prevented by subirrigation. This sys-
tenn of watering greenhouses is well
worth the attention of those who try to
deceive plants by turning winter into
summer.
At the Ohio station similar expert
ments have'been conducted. The DEVICE
used for subirrigation in these expert
ments is pipe with numerous holes that
run around under the soil at the bottom
Of the bed. At the top is tunnel through
which the water may be poured.

SMALL CABBAGE PLANTS "CLUBBED."
root. Many of the facts contained in
this bulletin are of general interest to
the cultivators of cabbage. turnip, kale,
etc.
Briefly stated, the malady is due to a
microscopic parasite which infests the
cells of the roots, causing them to be-
come swollen and distorted. The spores
OF the fungus, upon the decay of the part
affected, become scattered through the
soil, and from thence the enemy enters
the host plant. The club root infests
several plants of the cabbage family, in
cluding turnip, kale, radish, stock and
candytuft. Two common weeds-name-
ly, shepherds purse and hedge mustard
are now to be added to the list of
plants infested with club root.
Preventive measures must be relied
upon, for the affected parts of plant
are below ground and not readily reached
by any fungicide. If the crop is diseased,
all refuse at harvest time of roots, stems
and leaves should be burned. All seed
lings from hotbeds, with signs of club
root, should be destroyed, and, if pos
sible, use only plants from beds in which
there is no disease. Cabbage, kale, Brus-
sells sprouts, kohlrabi, turnip or radishes
should not follow each other on the same
land if club root is prevalent. Lime add
ed to the land, rs bushels per acre, has
proved effective. It is possible that some
commercial fertilizers may be found to
check the trouble. Keep the land free
from shepherds purse and hedge mus
tard and other weeds of the same family,
as their roots become "clubbed" and
thereby propagate the enemy.

FINANCE and COMMERCE.
A PERIOD OF SUSPENSE.
The Condition of Trade in Doubt on Ac-
count of the Election.

r. q. Dun h Co.'S. "weekly Review OF
an exciting election near, cannot indicate
much OF the true condition OF business. In
some trades the season is too far advanced
for great activity and in others the supposed
effects of the voting hinders operations. The
volume Of production Is well maintained and
In one or two branches increased.
No monetary difficulties disturb, bread
stuffs are little higher and no material de-
cline appears during the week In manuiac-
tured products. Payments through principal
clearing houses for the week have been 1913
per cent less than last year and 3i.4 per cent
less than in 1892. The depression OF cotton
and wheat md the partial loss Of the corn
crop must be reckoned important because OF
the hesitancy 10 the retail distribution OF
products. This hesitancy affects industries
very differently. The boot and shoe manu-
iacturer is retarded only in continued prefer
ence for low-priced goods, for the numbers
OF pairs produced ahd shipped seems greater
than ever. In five weeks All ,56l cnses against
2ss, ,s64 last year and 1856 .646 in 1892.
There Is still large demand for cheaper
goods, crowding beyond their capacity the
producers OF cheap mems and women's
shoes and, while jobbers in wax and kid
boots and shoes report the smallest sales for
years, on the whole their sales Of lower
priced goods are larger than ever Waiting
Tor retail trade depresses textile manufac-
turers and concession in price have been
made to effect large contracts.
The government has sustained heavy def
icit for the month Of October and customs
receipts are disappoin,inRly light. Otherwise
money markets reflect only remarkable ab-
sense OF commercial demand, though the
possible reduction Of interest on deposits may

capital. Nevertheless, he held fast TO
peace policy Last year he reached an
understanding with France during the
visit OF the Russian fleet at Toulon, and
ever since Russia and France have been
regarded as constituting dual alliance
counterbaancing on the west the power OF
the triple alliance. Nothing has been pub
lished, however, to show that any formal
agreement between the two powers was sign
ed, or that the czar pledged Russia TO help
France In recovering Alsace and Lorraine
from Germany. The czar left five children,
the Crown Prince Nicholas 26 years old; the
Grand Duke George, now Ill in the south OF
Russia; the Grand Duchesses Xenia and Olga
and the Grand Duke Michael, boy In his
teens.
The young man who on the death OF Alex
ander III, ceases to be the Grald Duke
Nicholas and becomes the next ruler OF more
than 100, 900 900 people, Is only 26 years old,
having been born In May, 1868 the eldest son
OF the czar. But into his brief life has been
compressed the experience Of ages SO far as
instruction by the best masters. extensive
reading, travel and mental and physical de.
velopement could do so.
Gossip has coupled the name OF the Care
witch with that OF an opera dancer, who is
said to be causing some trouble on account
OF his approaching marriage to Princess Alix
or Alice, the English form OF the name. The
health OF the Grand Duke was for long
time delicate and II was often predicted he
would not live TO wear the crown. Recently
his health has improved and he is said to be
now in good physical condition. He has two
brothers and two sisters, so that the line
direct from the Romanoffs will continue on
the Russian throne for some time, in spite OF
the Nihilists and of the ma,.1:ss, which
seem to be part OF the royal familys heredi-
taments.
As might be expected from mild-man-
nered young man, he is not partial to war,
as some Of his forelathers have been. There
II nothing OF the Don Cossack in him. He
has no ambition TO crush the Turks or to
wage war with Austria or with England on
the Eastern frontier. He Is peaceable
young man who would rather improve the
somewhat expensive ground now known as
Russia. and no one denies that there Is room
for Improvement. He is unlike his two
brothers in this respect.
There Is one thing to be said OF the young
man that cannot be said OF other knights OF
his age. His life has been clean. His name
is unsmirched by scandal. He has lived
quietly with his books and studies. His
habits have been and are OF the simplest.
