NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New YORK, Nov. But little trans
pired to-day, bearing upon the specula-
ton in stocks. London was alternately
buyer and seller in this market. In
most instances the railroad earnings
published for the fourth week in Octo-
Der were favorable. Advice from the
leading European financial centers We're
more re-assuring. Per contra the rates
of sterling took a sitter turn, although
so far as can be learn no arrangements
have yet been made for export of gold.
The scarcity of commercial bills excites
nnfayorable comments.
Rumors that the large sugar refneries,
except the Franklin, of Philadelphia,
would resume operations this week,
failed to exert sustaining influence
upon the price Of the stock. The market
opened moderately active and irregular.
A hardening tendency soon developed,
and, on increased dealings, prices began
to move upward. The improvement ex
tended to 2 per cent. in Tobacco and
Leather preferred.
Following their usual programme, the
bears started raid about Ii o'clock to-
day, taking advantage Of an advance IN
sterling exchange figures. Chicago Gas
was depressed 2 18 per cent, and less
material losses occurred in other shares.
After mid day excellent support APP
peared in the railway shares and adj
vances were made in them TO the best
of the day. Toward 2 o'clock sales for
both accounts caused slump in values.
The decline was regarded as largely due
% renewed liquidation.
In the late speculation frmer tine
was observable and the closing was
strong, with many stocks recording sub
stantial net gains. Bonds were moder-
ately active and generally strong. The
sales were 81, TAP, 900.

CHICAGO, H., Nov. THE soaking
rain in Chicago rejoiced the bears to-
day, and helped those who were short
to a profit of 1-4c. per bushe, on Decem-
Der wheat that being the net decline at
the close since yesterday. Corn was firm,
the bulls in that market deriving COM
fort from the same wet weather which
discouraged the wheat people. The i'm
proyement in prices was slight however.
Oats were very aull. Provisions de-
clined sharply on further large receipts

A snake-Haunted Tract-India.

In spots of jeopardy and awkward
angles, attack from behind is the main
thing to guard against. Walking on
tous, communed with myself of
snakes and beasts, duly considering
what terrible bugbears they are to
stay-at-homes. An old poet has told us
not to whistle till we are well clear of
the wood; "but whistle We merrily to
yourselves" soliloquized, "all we
who range the byways of snake
haunted tract. Sing somewhat loudly,
by the way; let there be melody
not in your hearts only, but on your
lips. Thus shall We prove yourselves
very lords of creation. From the notes
of your hymn shall each lewd beast
and unclcan reptile fee away, alright
ed and amazed!'' Would that l had
practiced what / unused on in silence;
for, even as 1 unused, the swish of
a rattan rang sharp behind, and, look
ing back, saw my boy fell deadly
serpent to the earth. l had stepped
clean over him! 1t was great escape.
My pyjamas were tucked up to the
knee, and if the brute had had time to
coil and strike, my bare legs lay at the
mercy of his merciless fangs. He had
been lying at full length in rut, be-
tween some logs transyersely placed in
Doggy bit of way, and l, walking
past noiselessly in rubber-soled shoes,
had caught him mapping Good Words.

THE FARMING WORLD.
NOTES ON wlNDsREAKs.
Directions for Making Various ServiceabI
and Simple Types.

Directions for Making Various Serviceable
and Simple Types.
Almost every country home needs
windbreak of trees, the exceptions be-
ing where hills check the air currents,
or natural grove can be utilized for
the purpose. In regions of low tenn
perature, place it on the cold side of
the house. In mrild ATTITUDES place it
SO as to shield the premises from the
most prevalent and dangerous winds.
Do not set the trees too close to the
dwelling, or the quarters of the live
stock. If less than 100 to 800 feet dis
tant, the air is close and damp with
poor ventilation, which tends to de-
velop disease. On this account the
minimum number which will afford
protection is better than a large grove.
The space between the trees and the
buildings can be utilized for lawn,
garden, or for small fruits, avoiding
thick setting. Admit plenty of sum
light. 1t is vitalizer of most animal
and vegetable life. Better have no
windbreak than one too closely set. IT
you have no tree shelter, start one this
spring. The form, size and distance
from buildings must be governed by
circumstances A single row of thick
ly growing evergreens-white pine,
Norway spruce or red cedar-15 feet
apart will suffice. Limbs will then
grow close to the ground, while If more
than one row is used, the trees will
prune themselves, as in forest, and
in time destroy the efficiency of the
windbreak. Deciduous trees of almost
any quick-growing, hardy variety will
answer, but require more land, a grove
so to 100 feet wide being necessary.

Weight of Young Pigs.

A pig at it's birth should weigh about
three pounds. At the end of the first
month the weight should have in
creased to fifteen, and it should con-
tinue to grow until at the tenth month
it has attained weight of 300 pounds.
That is, if it is kept SO long, but the
most profitable hog is the one marketed
when seven or eight months old. The
cost of pork is so per cent. greater if
made in the tenth month than in the
fifth month IN the food consumed.
Quick returns and quick profits should
be the aim of the swine breeder

FARM MACHINERY.
Some Buy Too Much of 1t, and Others Not
Quite Enough.

Some Buy Too Much of 1t, and Others Not
Quite Enough.
One may easily go to either extreme
on almost any question. This is GER
tainly true in the matter of buying
farm implements and machinery. A
prominent place in the causes of fail
ure of not few farmers should be
given to their habit of recklessly buy
ing farm machinery when not needed,
and of neglecting to care for it after
it is bought. Where one has good
implement or machine, it is folly to
throw it aside and purchase another
because of some triaing claimed i'm
provement. On the other hand, it is
at least equal folly to continue to use
nearly worn-out or inferior tools, neg
lecting to avail oneself of important inn
provements. A noticeable tendency of
agriculture in the prairie regions,
which are so admirably fitted for the
use of farm machinery, is to reduce
hand labor to minimum. 1t is not
only ATTEMPTED to do almost all parts of
field culture work by the aid of horse
drawn machinery, but to do it with
the smallest possible number of men.
Wide-cutting or gang plows, harrows
or cultlvators, or seeders, and so OF
mowers and reapers, are becoming
more common. Many of the new ma
chimes are decidedly better than the
older ones of the same class, some are
not. 1t many cases it will be clear
gain to buy new machinery; just as in
others it would be needless waste of
money.
If the new pillow will cut an inch, or
two wider than the old one with no in
crease in draft, it will soon pay for it
self. If equally good work can be done
with a harrow which cuts fifteen feet
instead of ten, the saving in cost of
labor will soon equal the cost of the
harrow. One or two bushels increase
per acre in the yield of corn on the
area which can be cultivs ted with
good cultivator will make the price of
a good cultivator in one year.-Prairie
