ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Mr.. Wingieby Explains to Georgia About
tho Seasons.

on see, Georgia, said Mr. Win
Glehy, whose youthful son had asked
him how we camo to have different
kinds of weather, "the weather is put
up III tin cans, II days weather to II
can, and usually they put up about "A
years supply ahead, enough to last
through spring, summer. autumn and
winter In filling the cans they sort il
all ont rs we'll as possible. Sometimes
when they get II can full there may he a
little left over, and whatever remains
III this WAY they throw into one lot.
When they've got pretty nearly all tho
cans full and tho regular stock of wealth
or has run out, they fill up from that
lot of odds and ends, Tho cans so filled
contain what is called variable weather,
because it's mixed, but most of tho
weather they get pretty we'll sorted ont
according to the season.
When they've got all the cans filled,
they stack EN- up where they'll be
handy To get at, and there's Il man that
does nothing but open them. Every day
he cuts can and pours out the weather
Tor that day, and of course great deal
depends upon him. Sometimes this man
gets careless and pulls down lot of tho
wrong cans, getting them, say, from the
July shelf III the month of April and
likely as not getting down week
supply at once, SO rs TO have them handy
ON the opening table. OF course he dis
covers his mistake the first can he opens,
but he is too lazy to put the rest back,
aud SO he keeps ON then until he has
opened them all, and that's how it
comes about, as it sometimes does, that
we get hot spell at season when we
ought TO have nothing but cool weather.
But of course those April cans are
not lost. They must DO around some
where, and we get 'em later. Maybe
the man will sprinkle them along with
the hope that we won't notice them
much, but as likely rs not he opens
them one after another together, maybe
after some terribly hot spell i'll July or
August, when they are sure to be u
blessed relief, and if he does this we are
prettyapt to forgive him his mistal Q in
April. Louisville CourierJournal.

A COIN In tho RottIc.

There have been patented all kinds Of
schemes devised for the purpose of Sc
curing n bottle that cannot be refilled
after having once been emptied of its
contents. \ great deal Of fraud is said
to be perpetrated by filling the bottles
of some standard liquor with an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
bottling. An ingenious Philadelphia
proposes to accomplish this by blowing
ii coin in the body of the glass bottle,
and he thinks that this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one 20 break
the bottle as soon as it has been emptied.

SHEEP AND LAMBs.-The offerings for the
day consisted of 1876 head, and it took much
persuasion to make a sale, buyers not being
very anxious to purchase, as dressed car

rant them in buying at values demanded by
the selling interests. The most important
sale was One hundred and ninety.two,

Mich Cows AND SpRNaKRs.-The offer

week. The demand did not come up to the
expectations OF the selling interest. Sales
Two milch cows sold at S65 apiece new

VEAL CALvKs,-The receipts for the day
were light, with fair demand. Values
were favorable to the selling interests.
The quality of the offerings was not as good
az those of last week. Sales: Twenty

NORTHERN AND EASTERN BEEF CATTLE
The supply was very light and the demand
was such that drovers who had beef cattle
on hand had their faces wreathed in smiles
and whitfield pine knots while buyers were
in the pens looking the stock over. Values
for the day were advanced from 4 TO per

Thrifty growth, frequent transplant

desirable to put in plenty of seed, as
they seem to come up much better than
when sown thinly. A certain amount
of heat is engendered in sprouting,

Cost Of Making Butter.

Editor of the Wdtchn,dn-1n your issue
OF February "a notice letter from L. W.
Pitkin on the cost of making butter in the
dairy and the creamery. In the first place
1 think Mr.. Pitkin places the cost OF help
too low. Ten cents per hour for labor suf-
ficiently skilled to make butter 1 do not
think is enough Creameries have to pay
from $50 to $75 a month for good butter
maker, or we will say twenty cents an
hour. According to Mr.. Pitkin 1t takes
twenty-five hours work to make 1874 pounds
of butter, which would be SIS, or nearly
three cents per pound Package, salt, color
ETC., would add another cent, making -four
cents. Creameries charge from three to
four cents for making This includes pack
age, marketing, etc. Taking into consider.
alton the fact that creamery butter sells fol
from two to four cents pound more than
dairy butter, think the advantage Is on the
side OF creameries. CREAMERY MAN.

Current Comment.

EoGs There has been a large increase in
receipts this week, but there has also been
good fair demand, and the market has kept
we'll sold up.
PorAToEs.-Receipts have been rather
light this week, but trade has been 30 quiet
that there has been little reduction In the
supply Offering.
The market has been quiet for the past
week. and there are no material changes to
report. Holders are firm, and buyers are
taking small lots as wanted at about former
prices.
| CoRN.-The market is quiet but spot Of
ferings are moderate and values hold about
steady. Most sales LOT steamer yellow on
track billed through to outside points are at
about 81 to 32c, with lower grades ranging
down as to quality and color.
Observation-Disclosures in short lumber Is of
very moderate proportions. Clapboards are
quite steady and without change. Shingles
are dull. The board trade is not improving,
both pine and hemlock being very quiet.
The box board trade is very light.
OATs.-There is quiet steady demand in
progress, with buyers meeting their present
needs at about the former basis of prices.
The best-clipped white range at 26l to 263c,
with the range down to "a to 25c for the
cheaper lots. Mixed oats are dull.
FLoUR.-The market yet rules slow, with
buyers only operating as they need sup
plies. The wheat market has kept within q
certain range Of price, and it has got 80 that
an advance or decline does not start buyers
in the least as the market is certain to be
back to the original point in a few days.
BUTTKR.-Receipts have been lighter than
last week and while trade has been gen.
orally quiet, there has been a steady fair
demand for the finest fresh goods, with
prices we'll sustained. Extra Vermont and
New Hampshire creamery has been selling
at 20 to 21c, with most sales at the outside
price.
WooL.-Sales for the week, 6,73O, 600
pounds. The market continues active.
Prices are exceedingly steady, but no higher
in any branch Of the business. There are
frequent cases Of offers refused, and the
whole tone OF trade is of the most buoy ant
description. The old boxes of West vir-
ginia stoges, 80 familiar during the past
four years, have disappeared, and in spite
of the rebellion in Cuba, customers are gaz-
ing again as in the good old days upon the
strapped cigar and the Havana label. The
stock of wool in this city is much depleted.
This is especially true OF fleeces, which are
very scarce. The heavy losses of the
American flock cut down the sources of fu-
ture supply to such q marked degree that
even the heavy imports of Australian past,
present and prospective will be to a con-
siderable extent Offset

of the soil. ThusIit comes about thatun-
der wise system of agriculture chemic-
ais may enrich the soil in humus. Mr..
Wait but gives expression to an old
view and one, be it said, that has au-

That my conclusions are not wrong

Lawes for many decades. Testing a
section 16 years apart, he found that
the soil had gained in organic matter
by $4,000 pounds. Yard manure of
course will give more, yet it may be
true that chemicals actually enrich the
soil in humus.
While have been using chemicals
experimentally for twenty years and
equally long in field practice, am but

tire area of 40 acres. In 1896 the whole
field was plowed and 20 acres planted
with potatoes ard IL acres with corn.
The corn was fertilized with 10 to IL
tons to the acre of yard manure and
some 60O pounds of chemicals. The
potatoes were treated TO about Zoo
pounds to the acre of chemicals. Fol
the season of 1896 the IL acres to corn
were sown to oats for hay and fertilized
with chemicals, IA acres of the potato
ground receiving 15-tons of ashes ant
the remainder chemicals again; and in
lieu of oat hay grew hungarian. Tht
crop of 1896 was estimated, after weigh
ing many loads, at 80 tons. Thus il
two years 10 tons Of hay were convert
ed into 80 tons and chiefly by the us'
of chemicals, for the two years repre-
