appeared in black and white.
This compromise was made by the
plaintiff with the defendants without
advice or knowledge of her counsel

Current Comment.

OATs,-There is dull tone to the market
but prices maintain steady Tone and the
general range is higher than week ago.
EGGs.-Receipts have been very heavy
this week and the consumptive demand
disappointingly light, with prices ruling q
shade lower than last week.
CoRN.-There has been frmer tone to
the market, with prices advanced, but the
demand is slow. and it does not take much
to meet buyers needs.
CHKEsE.-Receipts for export, 4, 767 boxes,
The market is still literally supplied and
there Is no sign OF improvement in any re.
spect. Sales continue in small lots and at
easy prices
FLoUR-The market has ruled very slow
during the week with sales confined to q
car or so here and there, as buyers have
been forced to operate. Wheat has MAIN
tanned fair strength and the asking price
for -four is we'll maintained but sales rule
slow.
BUTTER.-Receipts have increased con-
siderably for the past week but as the mar
ket is Just about bare OF old stock, the sup
ply OF fresh made has been running short Of
the demand. Prices have been working
upward and at the close average about q
cent higher than week ago.
LUhBRR.-The outlook for the opening of
the lumber season, which is near at hand,
Is very much better than it was. The
weather is favorable for an early spring
opening, but unfortunately our present ex-
traordinary strained foreign relations has
given building set back. Until building
operations assume their natural volume we
are likely to have the quiet from which we
are now suffering. The yards will, how
ever, commence purchasing soon, as they
will naturally be obliged to lay in a spring
stock.
WooL.-The market continues extremely
dull. The largest sale of domestic wool was
100000 pounds of ancient territory. The
largest sale Of foreign was 225, 900 pounds of
Montevideo. sold by a speculator to deal
er. Some OF the largest buyers in the trade
have been looking over the market, bus
they have not bought. They have found
that as q whole the trade believes that the
present depression is abnormal and tempo
rary, and is quite content to wait until
square settlement in favor OF peace or war
again turns the wheels of trade.

Sowing Peas and Oats,

For the northern section OF the
United States and south Canada, pos
sibly no forage crop is more valuable
than q mixture of field peas and oats
seeded in the spring as soon as the
ground is in condition to be worked.
The common method of sowing is to
clear the ground, intended for the crop,
of cornstalks or other rubbish, SOW on
ground a bushel of pea seed to the
acre, then pillow under to depth of
about four inches. Before the field is
worked further SOW a bushel and half
per acre of oats and cover we'll with a
harrow, continuing the work until the
ground of the seed bed is well fined and
compacted. No further treatment will
be needed until the crop is to be har-
vested.
Some farmers prefer to pillow the
ground as for oats, then make q mix
ture Of the seed in proportion to one
bushel Of peas to one and one-half of
oats and SOW this, putting the seed
down to depth of about three and one
half to four inches. If the ground is
in first-class condition, this can be read
lily done and possibly is more satisfac-
tory, but in early spring the soil is
usually wet and the method Of sowing
on broadcast as first described is best.
If this crop is wanted for the grain
particularly, allow the seed of both to
mature, then cut, place in shocks, and
thresh as any other grain crop. The
grain is ground to fine meal and is
then ready for the stock. 1t contains
large percentage of heterogeneous mate
rial and is excellent for balancing the
ration. The crop is also an excellent
one for soiling and for this purpose
should be cut just before or just about
the time the bloom begins to appear.
BY sowing number of fields at differ
ent dates the feeding period may be
extended over several months.
Mixtures of peas, oats and wheat in
any proportion desired, sOwn and har-
vested as described for peas and oats,
have been found valuable, particularly |
in sections where much attention is |
given to furnishing animals for critical |
markets or for securing high grade |
dairy products. These crops may be |
harvested for hay, in which case they |
should be got when in full bloom, or |
just little before, and thoroughly |
cured. The difficulty with this crop is |
that because of the thick leaves and |
stems of the peas, curing is exceeding
ly difficult, particularly in moist eli
mate or during wet season. If prop
erly cured, however, the resulting hay |
is as valuable as well cured clover and |
is used on the same basis. These crops |
are receiving more and more attention |
and every farmer who raises stock |
should try small field this season.

Sowing Mixed Grains,

In many parts of the country very
satisfactory results can be secured by
seeding mixture of oats, barley and
wheat in the spring, allowing this to
mature, then threshing and grinding
the grain together. The combination
makes well-balanced grain ration and
is exceedingly valuable, particularly
for all kinds of young stock and for
fattening hogs. The amount of seed
of course will depend somewhat upon
the kind of land, but it is usually the
custom to mix the seed in the follow
ing proportions: Wheat 2, barley 2,
and oats l. or course the proportion
of each is entirely optional with Che far
mer and the grain which does best in
any locality should be given promi-
nence. Sow two or three bushels of
the mixture to the acre, the same as
spring wheat or oats, taking care to
cover well and have the seed bed thor
oughly pulverized. Sow as early as
convenient in the spring and do not

Brains Needed In Farm Work.

Some men are hindrance rather
then help in many operations on the
farm. They seem to be too dull, too
beetle-headed, to understand what is
wanted of them. They can work, and
work hard, but they accomplish 30 lit
Tie that they actually do not earn their
board. They break tools, injure ami
mails and have to be constantly watched
while at work to prevent them from
doing the very thing you do not want
them to do. A farmer of my acouain-
lance sent man he had hired for
few days into the field to thin out
couple Of acres OF corn that had been
planted too thickly by another man.
He told him distinctly to leave four
plants in each hill, and in every in
stance to leave the strongest plants.
After he had been at work a few hours
a neighbours boy, who couldn't under
stand his antics, went to see what he
was doing; and he found him pulling
four Of the strongest plants out Of each
hill. When there were only three or
four plants in hill he had pulled all of
them. He was working lively and had
about ruined one acre. Another
farmer sent man into the field to re-
plant hills of corn that the squirrels had
taken. He said: "When you find
hill with only one plant in it put in
three grains about foot from it," He
worked two days, and then the farmer
went out to help him and discovered
that he had been planting the three
grains on any side Of the single plants
that came handiest. Of course the
work had to be done over again.
A friend of mine sent man into
back field to cut down a patch of rag
weed that had grown ON half acre
that was too wet to plough in the
spring. He had just hired the man
that morning, and as he had worked on
farm all his life my friend supposed
he "knew BEANS" About hundred
yards from the weed patch was q half
acre of fine buckwheat in full bloom,
and what did the fellow do but slash
down the buckwheat instead of the
weeds. AS that was al the work that
was pressing just at that time, my
friend paid the man seventy-fve cents,
gave him dinner and sent him on his
way rejoicing. He did not discover
the accident" until nearly week had
passed.-Fred Grundy, in Farm and

Can We Farm without Commercial
FertiIizersf

1t is not much done in these days,
but il it could be done, it would save
the farmers vast amount OF money.
Let every farmer who reads this figure
up how much he pays out yearly for
fertilizers and then multiply that by
ten or twenty, and we think it will
make him stare when he sees the fig
ures. 1t is the fertilizer bills, the feed
bills, and the bills for hired help which
keep the farmers of Vermont poor.
And when farmer devises way to
farm with no fertilizer bills and With
small feed bills, you will find that man
making money, provided he grows good
crops. Some men are doing this, but
they are very few, and the men who
do it and who can tell others how to do
it are fewer yet. In fact we do not
know Of but one man who has been
and is yet making money out of farm
ing without commercial fertilizers, and
who has written book to tell others
just how he has done it, and how they
can do it. The man is T. B. Terry,
and the book is sour Farming: How
We Made Run Down Farm Bring
Both Profit and Pleasure" This man
is one of the best writers on farm top.
les we have in this country, and he is
probably doing more than any other
man to help the farmers of the United
States to improve. Now Mr.. Terry
does farm without fertilizers, and in his
book he tells all about how he does it,
and if any reader of the WATCHMAN
wants to save his fertilizer bills, let
him send so to the Farmer Company,
Philadelphia, Pa, for Terry's book and
they will get more than $40 worth of
information. In fact we do not know
of book on farming which gives 30
much practical information as does this
of Terry's. He took poor worn out
farm, was a poor man, 80 poor that he
could not afford decent clothes to wear !;
he and his wife worked like slaves and
got little for it besides scanty supply
of food, for it took all and more than
all they could get to pay their interest,
and they were deeply in debt. The
book tells how all this was gradually
changed, how they learned to farm SO
as to pay all their debts, make thou
sands of dollars, and get great deal
of enjoyment out of their farm life.
We are far from saying that if you get
this book and read it, you can quit
right off the buying of fertilizers, or
that you can turn right round and 60
to making money, but we do say that
we know of no other book which tells
so much about how to make money by
farming, and how to farm without buy.
ing fertilizers. The book contains 1857
large pages and many illustrations, is
well gotten up and ought to be owned
by every farmer. 1t tells just how Mr..
Terry grows big crops without buying
an ounce of fertilizer. He did though
try ton one year, but could not see
that it did mite of good, and so of
course he bought no more.

harvest until the grain is we'll ripened.
1t is advisable to select varieties of
these grains that ripen as nearly at the
same time as possible. Spring wheat,
barley and oats usually mature together,
but by careful selection this can be
made almost certain.
This crop can be used for soiling.
Cut any time after it is mature enough
to be of value. If cut just before the
blossom appears the greatest amount
of digestible nutrients will be obtained
and the most beneficial results. BY
sowing succession, soiling material
can be had during the entire season,
particularly the last part of the summer
and the early weeks of autumn, when
pastures are apt to be short.-New Eng
