WEAK WHEAT MARKET BECOMES
FIRM WITH ARMOUR BUYING.

visions sfere Heavy.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Armour was re-
garded as the leading factor in wheat to-
day. 1t was thought to be largely due to his
influence that a weak and bearish market
became firm at the close leaving off with a
net gain of &c Corn advanced &c and oats
A62sc Provisions were rather heavy
The wheat trade was a smaller volume,
but fluctuations were fully as wide as yester-
day. Opening sales were at BQl4c loss, and
sold off AGssc more rallied 1q1lsc, changed
some and closed as stated. The name of Ar
mour was at the bottom of all the fanciful
causes for the days strength. That Armour
& Co. have themselves or through agents
chartered vessels to load about $4,000 bu of
red winter wheat is generally accepted as
true. Among the influences brought to bear
on the market early which had depressing
tendencies were the indifferent Liverpool ca
bles, they showing no sympathy with yes
terday's rally on this side, and then reports
from western and central Kansas gave very
fattering accounts as to the condition of the
larger cash business closed late yesterday,
1l5,0O0 bu being sold by one concern for
spring shipment and total for to-day of
1i5.0O0 bu. Export clearings at the Atlantic
seaboard showed up we'll, forming a total of
$4,000 bu wheat and flour.
The market was again duh, but the
price advanced in sympathy with wheat and
the small receipts. The lowest price was
made at the opening, when May sold at
about last nights figures-29ss Q29lac-and the
highest was current near the close, when it
sold at 29Ac.
Oats were firm. Sympathy with wheat was
to some extent the cause of the advance, yet
good buying by shorts was the main cause.
Market was active throughout the entire ses-
sion. May opened unchanged at 1912c, sold
up to 1870, and closed with 1934 4Q197sc bid.
The provision trade was light and the feel
ing rather heavy. The packers were sellers
of July and buyers of May pork and ribs to
a moderate extent. The weeks packing in
the West was 225 900 head, against 10000 on
wound up with decline of 21sc for the day.

OATS AND FIELD PEAS.
Instructions for Growing a Nutritious
and Palatable Fodder.

The following bulletin has been issued from
the Agricultural Experiment Station of Pur-
due University
Feeders are coming to recognize more and
more thes necessity of plenty Of green food
for stock when grass is getting short. Own
ers of dairy cattle in particular feel this ne
cessity
For two years at the Indiana Experiment
Station we have planted Canada field peas
and oats for this purpose. The first year cf
planting we scattered pea seed at the rate of
a bushe and one-half an acre over the
ground. and plowed this in three or four
inches deep. A bushel and one-half of oat
seed per acre. was then scattered over this
plowed land which was then thoroughly har-
rowed. ~
In 1895 the above practice was not followed
The Land was plowed about seven inches
deep and then narrowed TO a fine filth. A
one and oneoaaif busheis | of each he per acre.
was then drilled in, 10 the depth of about
two inches. The plants thrived with great
growth, in common with all other farm
crops. Either method of planting will no
doubt be satisfactory.
In planting oats and peas the first seeding
should De gotten in at the earliest date pos
sible. when the land may be satisfactorily
worked One or two more plantinss. at ten
crops, covering about six weeks
While cutting the green crcp may begin
as early as wished, after some length of
stalk has been secured Ii is advisable 10 wait
until the oat head begins expand, and
when the peas are passing from the bloom
The best plan is to secure the green fodder
as close 10 the maturity stage as possible
consistent with about three weeks of use for
soil.lg.
Oats and peas make highly nutritious and
palatable food. They also give the earliest
green fodder TO be secured from paintings of
the same season, and follow nicely after
winter rye for selling. This crop is coming
more and more into favor. Oats and peas
should only be planted early in spring, as
these plants, as a rule, will not thrive from
May or. summer seedlings.
IL not all fed green, the balance of the
crop may With advantage. be powed under
orf1useds for hay.
,TAe expense for seed is not great. Oats
may be bought In the market at prices vary
ing from 10 10 . cents per bushel, according
TO location. The pea seed purchased by this
station this spring cost 80 cents a bushel
laid down at the home depot. In buying be
sure and get Canada field pea seed.

part OF the month. Comparatively speaking
the present month has shown few changes
in quotations owing to the fact that prices
could not wei go lower and the duilness
of trade prevented any advance. The
