THE HEAVY SEEDING OF OATS
A Cheap Way to Begin Farming-Rapid
Decline in Breeding Mares
Successful Tenant Farmer.

Lodging Of oats is due to the imper-
feet development of the tissues of the
stem, and this is the result of an in
sufficient exposure to sunlight in con-
sequence of the plants being too close
together. The greatest exposure will
doubtless be secured by moderately
thin sowing. 1t is usually considered
that the quantity Of seed per acre
should vary with the condition of the
land and the time of sowing, a great
quantity being sown when the land is
IN poor condition, and when the season
is late. A greater quantity of seed is
required on poor land, as the oats do
not "stool OUT so we'll, and in a
late season it is necessary to increase
the amount in order to hasten the har-
vest, as, where the land is thinly sown,
the "stooling" process is liable to be
carried on for too long time, making
the harvest late. In England, aa high
as eight bushels per acre of oats are
often sown, in other year-tests that
quantity of seed yielding an average
of forty-three bushels per acre; six
bushels, ffty-three; and four bushels
seed yielding an average of forty. three
bushels per acre; other things being
equal. In America, four bushels per
acre is usually considered heavy seed
ing for oats, and one and one-half to
two bushels Is the amount usually
soWn.

MUST APPLY TO THE POWERS
The sultan's Reply to Terrelps Request
Regarding the Dardane1les.

The sultan's Reply to TerrelPs Request
Regarding the Dardanelles.
Constantinople, Feb. 10.-Regard-
ing the request Of Minister Terrell,
that the United States legation be al
lowed dispatch boat for it's service,
the Turkish cabinet contends as the
passage of the straits of Dardanelles
was regulated by an agreement be-
tween the six powers, the United
States must apply to them for the
necessary permission, as she is not
party to the treaty of Paris. On be-
half of the United States, it is under
stood, the contention is made that the
regulations do not apply to the United
States, and she considers the straits
of Dardanelles to be open water. It
is stated in well.informed circles that
the reason for the porte's hesitation to
grant the request is the opposition of
Russia.
The sultan has replied to the auto
graph letter from Queen Victoria,
which it had been understood was
personal appeal to the better nature of
the sultan against the condition Of Asia
Minor, sympathizing with her in the
humane sentiments expressed and de-
claring the reports of the massacres
were spread by evil-disposed persons.
The sultan adds that, contrary to allega-
tions, the Turks were first attacked
while praying in mosque. The sui
tan assured the queen that the meas
ures taken had succeed in restoring
order, and except in Zeitoun, quiet
prevails everywhere, and negotiations
going on with the insurgents at Zeitoun
will undoubtedly lead to quiet.

General Trade Improved by
the Recent Bond Issue.
THE TREASURY ON A SAFE BASIS
It's influence Felt In All Manufacturine r

New York, Feb. 1O.-R. g. Dun
Company's weekly review of trade
says:
The wonderful success of the popular
loan alters the face of events. The in
fuence Of this event upon all manufac
turing and trading industries cannot bt
lightly estimated. It puts the treasury
on safe basis for time, whether con
gress does anything useful or not. I,
notifies foreign nations that the United
States has power as we'll as purpose.
It unlocks millions of gold which have
been gathered in preparation, brings
directly several millions in gold from
Europe and stimulates the anxiety OF
foreign investors to obtain American
securities. With such revolution in
business suddenly effected, the custom.
ary records of the past week and month
are of less value than usual.
But there have been signs of i'm.
provement in the iron manufacture,
although the average of prices is nearly
per cent lower this week, for orders
have been booked for nearly 800, 900
tons of rails this year, against total de-
liveries in 1896 of 1000, 900 tons, and
orders for wire nails are stimulated by
decision to advance the price again
on March 1. Speculation has raised
copper to 1o14 cents. with sales of
100000 pounds, and tin to 13R
cents. and lead to $3.10, with large
exports of Mexican.
Speculation in wheat has again lift
ed prices, although Western receipts
have been 2,80O,907 for the week,
against 792, ,971 last year, and for the
year thus far, 15,067,695 bushels,
against 6,039, 933 last year. Atlantic
exports have been increasing, though
not in the same proportion, amounting
for the week, flour included as wheat,
to 1885, 1855 bushels, against 1 ,458,255
last year. The speculative market has
been largely Influenced by rumors of
injury to the coming crop, and by for
eign advices, and prices advanced 31c
for cash and Q 5-8 for May.
Failrues for the week have been 1928
in the United States, against 281 last

condensed RECORD OF the DO1nRS OF the
Nations Lawmakers-Senate.
Washington, Feb. 8.-Today the
senate passed resolution calling fo1

bond bills. Another resolution was
agreed to, directing the secretary o1
state to send to the senate copies of all

many, France, Belgium and Denmark,
which discriminate against the intro
duction of American cattle. Quay
brought up the resolution to recommit
the tariff silver bill. He offered an
amendment modifying his original res.
olution, that, instead of instructing
the committee to report back separate
bills, the measure be referred back ''for
further considera tion. The resolu.
tion went over. Turpie then addressed
the senate in favor Of the election of
United States senators by popular vote.
Shortly before o'clock the house bill
prohibiting prizefights in the territories
was brought over from the house, and
was at once taken up. Hoar stated
briefly the need Of speedy action. The
prizefghters, he said, had been driven
from Texas to Mexico, and now to New
Mexico, where they hoped to fight, be-
cause there was no restraining law.
The bill was read. No objection was
made, and, within three minutes of
the time it was presented in the senate,
it was passed.
Washington, Feb. 10.-Upon the
opening of the senate, the acting chap
lain. the Rev. Hugh johnson, in the
course of an eloquent prayer, referred
to the recent popular expression of the
financial strength and confidence of the
nation. Frye, Rep, was unanimously
chosen president pro tenn of the senate,
and in brief remarks, promised to JUS
tify the confidence reposed in him by
strict impartiality. The Republican
senators in caucus nominated A. J.
Shaw, of Spokane, WASH. for secre-
tary of the senate; 81. L. Grant, of
Notrh Carolina. for sergea nt-at-arms,
and Alonzo Stewart, of Iowa, to sue
ceed the late Captain Bassett as assist
ant doorkeeper. 1t was decided to

lain.

House,.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The debate
on the senate free-coinage substitute
for the house bond bill was scheduled
to commence today, and there was q
good attendance in consequence. The
session opened with an attempt to pass
a bill to stop the ''pugilistic carnival
billed to take place NEAR Ell Paso,
Tex" February II. Catron asked
unanimous consent for consideration OF
the bill. He explained that it was no.
torious that the preparations were now
going on at Ell Paso, Tex, for series
of prizefights, which could not take
place there. but were to occur in the
territory Of New Mexico, which was
within few miles of Ell Paso. The
governor of New Mexico had publicly
stated, Carton said, that he knew of NO
law to prevent fights. In view Of the
shortness of the time remaining Gone
week. he warned the house that if OBJ
lection were made, and the bill was
sent to committee, it could not pass
both houses and be signed in time to
prevent the mill" Knox objected,
and the bill went to committee. At 8
o clock, the house went into committee
of the whole, Payne ia the chair, and
took up consideration of the free-coin-
age substitute for the house bond bill.
The afternoon and evening sessions
were consumed in discussion of the bill,
the house adjourning at 1926.
Warrington, Feb. 8. The senate
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill was debated five hours in the
house this afternoon and five hours at
the night session. The speeches SO far
have been tame and dry. There were
two notable exceptions, however, to-
day. johnson of North Dakota, and
johnson of California, both Republic
ans, but on different sides of the sill
yer question, afforded entertainment
and perhaps instruction. The former
was once a schoolteacher, and he
brought the method of the schoolroom
into the house. He placed some charts
in front of the speakers desk, illustrat-
ing graphically the rise and fall of
prices in this country, the production
of silver, and, pointer in hand, like a
professor to his pupils, explained con.
verging and diverging lines. Johnson
of Californis, on the other hand. whose
fiery protests against the passage of
bill attracted general atten-
won the applause of the silver
T. bh an eloquent speech urged
the Republicans not to ignore silver,
and warned them of the dire conse.
quences which might follow if they
did. His wit was so trenchant and
his blade so keen that he was fre-
quently applauded by those who were
not in sympathy with him.
Washington, Feb. 10.-Debate on
the free-silver substitute for the bond
bill proceeded steadily in the house to-
day. The house met at 10:30 A. M,
with less than thirty members present.
Newlands awoke the empty echoes of
the vast hall with vigorous argument
in favor of the free and independent
coinage of silver. He asserted not a
single debtor nation of the world main
tanned the gold standard except the
United Statse, and we dds so as the
price of the continued bond issues.
Hartman and Kem followed in favor
of concurrence, and Tucker in favor
of non.concurrence.

Cheap Way to Begin.

Let one purchase hens of the COM
mon mongrel stock-which can always
be got quite cheaply-and with these
hens mate purely-bred male of the
variety desired to breed into. In the
autumn carefully select the strongest
and best-developed pullets, still re-
tanning the former male bird. Select
only those pullets which are robust
and perfectly healthy in every respect,
and stongly marked in form, color and
general characteristics of the breed
represented by their sire. Mate this
second crop of pullets to an unrelated
sire and the resulting generation will
be equal to thoroughbred stock of that
breed for all practical purposes in lay
ing and marketing Qualities.

A Ranid Dacline.

The failure of owners to breed mares
during the past two years is empha-
sized by decline of per cent in to ,
tai numbers on the farm. This decline
would be still greater but for the fail
ure of the ordinary demand for low
grade animals for city work, so that
an urban census would disclose de-
crease in numbers in addition to the
farm decrease measured here. The
most striking feature regarding horses,
however. which is brought, out by this
investigation is the decline in the aver
age value per head, amounting to
ST. so, or nearly 18 per cent in year.
