- CUTTING BICYCLE PRICES.
High Grade Wheels Being Sold Be-
low Schedule Rates.

New York, April f7.-The attemptof the
big bicycle manufacturers to maintain
standard scale of prices for high grade
wheels has proven futile, and local agents
of the firms who have advertised wheels
at S10O-"no more, NO less"-have been
compelled to cut prices, owing to the rush
for cheaper wheels
Prospective purchasers can, without
trouble, select any 1897 wheel catalogued
at 500 for SIS or $50. The practices
of cutting prices has become widespread.
The only houses maintaining list figures
are the main offices of the large firms.
The small dealers are being gradually
forced out of the business by the whole
sale cutting OF prices on h-grade wheels,
and indications point to the adoption OF
a reduced schedule of prices for the stand

Where dodder tangles its lustrous threads.

has some strong points in it's favor.
The crops during the six years are in
this order: Corn, followed by wheat.

wheat drilled in. Immediately after
the wheat Is cut the next year, the
ground isplowed thoroughly, prepared
by harrow and roller, and sowed again
to wheat, this time accompanied with
about a bushel Of timothy to six acres
and the same quantity Of clover in the
early spring. Then three crops Of hay
are moved, making the six years.
Very often four crops of hay are made.
I have not counted the second crop
OF Glover usually cut and hulled for
seed the first season. Since western
seed generally can be bought at low
prices, many think it better to pasture,
or cut this second clover for COWS. It
will be noticed that this rotation, run.

twice during that time, and gives three
crops OF hay, which we think pays bet.
