A Feature Of the Market Was an Inquiry md Advance in the Vanderbilts.
 New York, April 5.-There was little disposition to trade at the stock ex- change to-day. The dullness was due to
 the desire on the part of operators to await the outcome of the meeting of anthracite coal presidents. The latter were in session all day, and finally ad- | journed without accomplishing any, thing of great importance This was not a disappointment, however, as 1t
 was not expected that the presidents could adjust matters at this session. It was announced that the question in dispute will be submitted to arbitration,. if necessary, and further that a resolu- tion had been adopted restricting pro- duction for April to 2,60O,0O0 tons
 The coalers were again rather feverish. New Jersey Central declined from 951a to 94B, and rose to 94s. Reading ranged between 12%@13M Delaware and Hudson sold up # to 12S, and re- turned to 127h. LaclSawanna declined h to 159B. A feature of the market was the inquiry for and advance in the Vanderbilts. Canada Southern sold up 5s to 5OB, Michigan Central 13a to 931s, New York Central % to 96and' Lake Shore 1s to 13S. A belief that thJ trunk line presidents at their meeting on Tuesday next win restore eastbound freight rates strengthened the stocks The grangers held firm, except for Bur lington and Quincy, which was inclined to weakness on juniors that the forth coming report will be worse than gen. orally expected. There was very little to the International stocks, except their firmness.
 The industrials were far more active than the railways, the sales of Sugar, Electric and Distilling alone figuring for 54,740 shares on the grand total. Sugar held we'll, selling at 1O0%@1O19s1 101B, ,the reduction in certain grades of the refined not having had any in- fluence on the stock General Electric was, higher, rising 11s to S47s with re- action at the close to o99M. The firmness was due to the practical completion of the deal with the Westinghouse company. Distilling and Cattle Feed ing company advanced to 161S and later receded to t5%@%. The early rise was based on reports that all differences with the American Distributing com pany had been adjusted. Cordage se- curitles were more active, and %Q21s per cent. higher. Chicago Gas ran off a point to 71M, but closed unchanged. The weakness was the result of rumors of reduction in the dividend rate. The formation of the Standard Tele- phone company was used against Vest ern Union for a time and the stock de- cllned 9s to SIS. Speculation closed ir- regular but in the main firm. Net changes. show gains of 4 to 7s per. cent.
 The bond market was irregular. Sales $1. .239. .000

That Part Of Irrigation is Best Taught By
Practice.
As Euclid told the Egyptian Ptolemy
Of old, e'There is no royal road to learn
ing, so in our modern Egypt we may
say that there is no golden rule telling
us exactly when to irrigate our plants.
It is question which the experienced
irrigation farmer has TO settle, and
each individual case has to be settled
separately. Tt is a question where ex-
perience has generally to be learned
by failures, or partial failures.
Nevertheless there are natural laws
and facts, a knowledge of which viii
greatly aid US, and of these I propose
to dwell upon the most important.
When to apply water is governed by
the needs of the soil and the plant
The soil needs it all through the winter
months. The plant also needs it toward
the end of the winter This much, 1
think, we may safely decide uyon.
The moisture left in the soil from
the winter irrigation should be suffici-
ent to start the spring growth. Now
as 75 per cent of the growth of nearly
every plant consists of water it follows
that it must be well supplied with this
at the time when the great growth is
being made This should be Ill middle
or late spring. Also at this time are
our drying winds most prevalent, and
the quick evaporation from the leaves
has to be met by an equal supply of
moisture from the rO0tlets; and here
let me remark that for every cubic foot
of water eyaporated from the leaves
a cubic foot air has to enter the soil to
replace the moisture taken out; and ii
/ the air canuOt enter freely the mois-
ture cannot come out freely, and the
/ plant will witheF or burn, no matter If
! there are oceans Of water below It is,
| therefore, as essential to keep the soil
open as to supply water
If plant appears to want wafer, ex-
anime the soil six inches from tho sur
face and see if it be dry. IL not dry, il
is probably cultivation that the plant
requires.
During the hottest month of summer
/ the plant growth is partially suspended
and the tissues are hardening, and it is
probable that little if any irrigation
( will be needed. The fall rains will
render irrigation still further unneces-
sary. After cropping, it would be very
desirable, and l think would pay we'll,
to irrigate and pIow, leaving the land
rough and moist for the winter frosts,
except, Of course, where it is desired to
pat in a crop such as oats or rye.
Except for these general rules, it
would be misleading to say when to
water One plant can stand and re-
quire water enough to kill another
plant. A tree may flourish we'll under
liberal supply Of water, but it may
not bear fruit. Water enough to rot
one tuber may be needed by another.
A good deal of experience may be
saved, it is true, by a knowledge of
botany. If you learn the natural sur
roundings and climate of a certain
class of plants, for instance, you will
know more or less what to do in the
matter of irrigation them; but the only
true way is to study the needs of each
individual plant.-E. NJ. Skeats, in

the sun was shining down upon the

gladdened the eye of man. The heads
were as large as ears Of corn, each stalk
having several heads. He saw thousand

in the distance like a golden sea, its

SEED WHEAT pR0BLEh
Farmers SfolId Take Advantags ot
Any Offer Of Seed.
EHE WHgAT sgFPLE FERY LIHIgED
Even sheuid the Wheat Bill Go Through
There WoaId Still Be shortsge
Take What Can BE Had.

The question Of seed wheat that now
eonfronts Sherman county is a serious
one and one that must be met at once
or it viii be too late. as February is the
best month for seeding.
In 1892 Sherman county had the
largest acreage Of spring wheat, lead
ing the van Of Kansas, counties, with
1888 acres. To seed even this amount
Of land would take about 10000 bush
els Of seed, but as no winter wheat has
been put out to any extent, the acreage
would probably be double that of 1892,
could seed be procured.
Should the legislature make an ap-
preparation to furnish seed to the farm
ers of Western Kansas 10000 bushels
would be the very largest amount that
Sherman county could hope to secure,
and conservative estimates place the
amount at a much lower figure.
Between 10 and 15 bushels per capita
will probably be the pro rata Of distri-
button. This Would only be drop il
the bucket Of cur needs. The terms Of
one-fourth to one-third which the fer
nishers of seed are asking are onerous
but even these rates are better than NJ
wheat.
This seed must be procured from the
eastern markets or from the coast a,
the supply at the Missouri river mar
kets has been exhausted and it is very
doubtful if carload of spring wheat
could be purchased west of Chicago OF
east of Portland.
Under these conditions the farmer:
will probably be forced to submit to
the inevitable and accept the term:
exhorbitant as they may seem. The
people Of the west are this year placed
in position where they cannot be
ehoosers, and they must take what car
be had.
The prospects for a bOunteous croE
were never brighter, and the seed al
