small compared with recent months, but
large enough TO encourage more opening
of long-cosed works and more advances

show that the advance is not enough for
some but seem not more threatening than
q week ago. The small shipments Of gold
counted for nothing, and money markets
are undisturbcd
Prices of iron and steel products still
rise. the feature this week being the
startling advance Of 30 cents per key in
cut and wire nails with new cards for
various sizes which. il is stated, make
the advance actually greater than il APP

traD stalk ground is the best for oat
seeding, and Il two-wheel broadcast

leaves the ground in rows or creases.
prefer a disc to any other implement
because it is faster and cheaper. One
man can seed and disc fifteen acres Il

depends very largely upon the ground.
Rich. black land requires from three
and half to four bushels; on upland

oats is plenty. like the German white
oats very much both for food and for
market. The yield is very large, and
in good seasons it will weigh from
forty to forty-two pounds per bushel.
prefer sowing us early as the ground
will permit, say from the 9th Of
March to the 10th of April Earlier
than the 18th of March will not do.
Many prefer fall blowing for oats, but

keeper and swallowed him. with all
