Current Weekly Comment.

MAPLE SUGAR AND SYRUP.-Trade has
been quiet but receipts are now light and
stocks are working out slowly at steady
prices
CHEEsE.-Receipts, 1921 boxes; for ex-
port, IL ,219 boxes. The net receipts are
light and stocks are being steadily reduced,
but sales have to be made in small lots and
at easy prices.
OATs.-Receipts. 10, 400 bushels; stock in
elevators 81 521 bushels; exports 10Y ,765
bushels. The wants of buyers continue
moderate, and il takes but little to meet
the daily needs of the trade.
CoRN.-Receipts, 29,636 bushels; stock in
elevators, 36,8S3 bushels; exports, 1913
bushels. The demand has ruled moderate,
but arrivals have been small, and this has
tended to keep values fairly steady.
FLoUR.-Receipts, 81 ,457 barrels, %, 1852
sacks; exports, 1903 barrels, 81, GIG sacks.
Prices are held steady, but the general de-
mand continues very meagre, and outside
of some well-advertised brands but little
flour Is being sold.
LUMBER.-Short lumber of all kinds is
quiet. Clapboards are meeting with con-
siderable request and are very firm. Shingles
are rather firm also, but not as active as
clapboards. Lath is still quiet. Some call
has been springing up within the past week
for hemlock and pine boards.
BUTTER.-Receipts, 1857 tubs, 1906
boxes-S18,56l pounds; lfor export, 1884
pounds. There has been further con-
siderable increase in receipts, and with the
accumulated stock the market has been
overloaded and the tone dull and unsettled.
There is very little call for the under
grades. Box butter in large supply.
WooL.-The sales for the week were
1,815,000 pounds. There has been no i'm
provement in the condition of the market
for domestic wool. The sales have been
light in volume and confined to small lots
In the matter of prices the market is back
to where it was few years ago at its low
est ebb, and there is nothing to encourage
holders, aside from the very low position
of prices, that would seem to make it i'm
possible for any further shrinkage to take
place.

Concerning Churns.

There are said to be over 700 differ
ent patterns of churns in the patent
office at Washington on which patents
have been issued. In this number are
included many principles, but the one
great point aimed at by inventors has
been rapidity of work; at least this has
been the rule until within the last few
years. 1t was supposed that the more
the cream was agitated the sooner the
butter would come. Acting on this
principle, churns were made with
almost innumerable fans, wings aid
dashers, with which to vigorously agi-
tate, whip and slash the cream. The
time required to bring butter is only
one of the minor points in churn, and
this can be regulated largely by the
butter.maker in tempering the cream.
The more important points are ex-
haustive churning, ease OF manipu-
lating, convenience of washing butter
and keeping the churn sweet and clean.
Such a churn will be found in any Of
our swinging or barrel churns. With
these we have the best method of
churning of modern times. In these
we depend entirely upon conclusion in
and employed by the early Egyptians,
who put their cream in bottles made
from skins of animals and dragged the
bottles around until the butter came.
With the old-faehioned dash churn, or
the barrel churn, one can make good
butter-just as good, perhaps, as can be
made by a conclusion churn-but ii
takes more time to care for the butter
All of our leading churns now are made
without any inside fixtures, 80 that the
butter can be sailed and worked enough
to evenly distribute the salt without re-
moving from the churn until ready tC
pack. My advice to any one thinking
of buying a churn is to avoid the churn
with inside fixtures, no matter how
highly recommended by glib-tongued
agents. Farmer.

Manuring the Garden.

AS rule there is not enough thought
given to the manuring ofgsrdens and
orchards, especially where vegetable
crops are not grown. 1t seems singu-
lar that for vegetables many gardeners
will apply loads of manure, but when 1t
is case of trees or flowers, manure is
never thought of, and the trees and
plants must shift for themselves. 1t is
not uncom non to see flower beds filed
year after year with no renewing of the
soil at all, nor any food given them;
nothing, in fact, being added except
what may be in the flower pots. 1t is
no wonder that 80 many unsatisfactory
beds are seen. 1t is the same in the
fruit garden and on the lawn. Rasp-
berries, blackberries, pears, cherries
and like fruits need manure, especially
while they are young. AS fruit trees
become of bearing age, manure may
be discontinued to some extent, but the
smaller bushes need it all the time. In
good soil the plants and trees named
can get along without manure, and 80
can vegetables; but as all the time the
soil becomes poorer if not fed, it is use
less to look for the best results unless
manure be applied. Lawns come I'M
der the same heading. In the course
of time the ground will become so poor
from sustaining the grass, year after
year, that it will become most unsatis-
factory in appearance. Apply coat of
manure in the fall, and the whole ap-
pearance will be very much different
during the following summer. 1t is
but recently that gentleman proposed
to landscape gardener to destroy his
extensive lawn in order that it might
be subsoiled, the grass growing so
poorly at the time. Subsoiling is all
right, and would have helped the grass,
but in this case it was pointed out to
him that all that was required was ma
nure. The lawn had been moved for
years, nothing had been fed to the
grass, and it was simply starving. A
thick coat of thoroughly rotten stable
manure is to be given to it before win.
ter sets in, and for comparative .tride
the gentleman will get good lawn.
AS said above, when fruit treesihave
reached a bearing age, manure may be
discontinued to some extent, but it
should not be omitted altogether.
There must be enough food for them
without applying it in such quantities
as to push them. 1t is not uncommon
to see apple orchards, which are but
little past their prime, almost worth
less for bearing purposes because
growth has stopped. And these trees
are starving, as is shown by the fact
that no young shoots are being made.
They need the soil stirred up and a
good surface application of manure.
In many of our public parks, where no
manure is applied to trees, many large
ones will present but forlorn appear
ance, nothing like the thrifty look SINH
lar trees present when in forests, where
decaying leaves and vegetable matter
furnish nourishment all the time

AGRICULTURAL.
Experiment Station Bulletins.

The Vermont Experiment Station at
Burlington is about TO publish Bulletin
40, on "Potato Blights and Fungicides"
and Bulletin 81, on " Analyses of Com
mercial Fertilizers" Bulletin 40 dis
cusses the distinctions between the va
rious potato bights, particularly the
different forms of potato diseases which
of late years have been grouped under
the general name of early blight"
These disorders are fully described and
illustrated by figures of the leaves, and
preventive measures discussed. The
relative value of various notifications
of Bordeaux mixture is also shown.
Bulletin 81 contains the analyses, guar
antees and station valuations of fifty
brands of commercial fertilizers sold in
the state this year. There is reason to
believe that fully nine-tenths of the
trade of the state is confined to the
brands contained in this bulletin, which
buyers may find helpful as a ready
means of comparing the relative agri'
cultural and commercial value of goods
offered for sale. These, as well as
other bulletins of the station, will be
sent without charge to any address on
application to the Experiment Station,

Call Loans Advance on Stock Exchange tf
100 Per Cent,


Call Loans Advance on Stock Exchange to
100 Per Cent.
New York, Oct. 29.-The feature in
financial circles to-day was an ad-
vance in call loans on the stock ex-
change to 100 per cent. The advance
was attributed to the preparations
making for the payment of interest
and dividends due November |, the
shifting of loans incidental to this pro-
cess and some boarding by the more
timid over election day. The stringen-
cy of the loan market compelled brok-
ers to call for additional margins. In
a number Of instances holders were
either indisposed or unable to respond
and their stock was thrown on the mar
ket.
! Considering the exorbitant rates de-
manded for call loans, the foreign SELL
! ing and the evening UP of accounts by
operators who desire to go over the
election without contracts on their
books, the loss in prices except in rare
instances was unimportant. The dis
| turbance in the money market, 1T
might be added. affected only belated
borrowers and caused little, If any, ex-
| element in stock circles.
The loss in prices at one time ranged
form y to 3 per cent. The principal de-
clines are: Sugar fell 21s, to 11o% Bur
! lington, IL, to 725s st. Paul, 2h, to
/ $685.; ST. Paul preferred, "a to 1872;
Rock Island, IA, to 621s; Delaware and
Hudson, H. to 1872; General Electric,

Pullman, 2, to $50; Tennessee Coal. /,
to 22A; Leather preferred, IL, to son,
and Western Union, /, to $685..
/ In the late afternoon trading Chicago
Gas jumped from 67A to s9% on adj
vices from Chicago that an order had
been entered BY Judge Gibbons modi-
| flying the injunction restraining dis
tribution of dividends. This was i'm
mediately construed as meaning that
the surplus Of the company will be dis
| tributed to stockholders at once.
! The rise in Chicago Gas and an I'M
| founded rumor that the clearing house
intended to issue certificates to relieve
| the stringency in the money market
had a good effect for a time, but near
the close when fancy rates were OBJ
tanned for call loans the recovery of
1@1% per cent. was partially lost and
speculation closed barely steady in

AS compared with yesterdays finals
