WEEKLY MARKET lETrgR.
Trade Conditions in tho Leading Cities

Trade Conditions in tho Leading cities
of the World.
Wheat traders last week struggled
with all kinds of foreign news, but the
market remained In the same old rut,
only that II became narrower. Com
mission men who have recently travel
ed all through the West and Northwest
say that speculation everywhere is
light. The farmers have paid off their
mortgages with the money received
from their crops, and the 5000, 600, 900
extra that Letter helped them to get
by advancing grain values has brought
about readjustment OF affairs in the
West
During the early days of last week
the foreign news was bearing, prices in
Liverpool and on the continent declin.
ing steadily under the pressure of Ar
gentine offerings. Friday there was
change in sentiment abroad, cables gen.
orally reporting reduced Argentine
offerings and advanced prices. An
estimate has been made that Argentina
will only have $4,000, 900 bushels 10
ship to the United Kingdom; 1000, 600
bushels of its surplus will 60 to Brazil,
and the balance to other countries.
This estimate does not make the sur.
plus over 25,0o0,0 900 bushels. There
are other good estimates Of 46, 600, 900
bushels. Should Argentina have 49,.
100000 to export, it will make ma.
terial difference in prices, provided the
present crop prospects are everywhere
maintained. In case it is only 25, 000,-
900 bushels there will be less wheat to
come in contact with arrivals from
California and depress the foreign mar
kets. Spectators are looking to the
foreign situation to lead the bull move
ment They want to see exports con-
tinue heavy, and the foreign buying
good. The latter has not been up to
expectations of late, but there is every
prospect of its continuing good through.
out January. One drawback to active
cash transactions at the seahoard is the
steady advance In cash premiums over
May.
Speculators who are very friendly to
the bull side take different view OF
the situation. They are inclined to
ignore the foreign conditions as the
real leader, and are looking to the
Northwest. They believe that stocks
in millers' hands in Minnesota and |
the Dakotas are the lightest in years.
Farmers deliveries are small and coun-
try elevators tocks are not over 8, 900, 900
bushels. Bulls have predicted a falling
off in arrivals there since December ],
but the reduction has not been fully
realized, the receipts exceeding last
years.

An Earth scraper.

This is valuable implement on the
farm. II perfect under-drainage has
not been secured. the surface channels
should not be lost sight of. On every
farm there are slight depressions or
basins, which might be easily emptled
by lowering the rim at some point by
removal Of the dirt to the lowest places.
1t will be surprise to those not having
tried 1t to apply a scraper in a judicious
manner to such places to see the re-
suits. Water should not be permitted to
stand upon the soil during any portion
OF the year. 1t is very injurious to
land. In fact, an excess of saturation
Is more damaging than drought. Water
destroys fertility as we'll as crops,
while dryness preserves the richness of
the land, If vegetation does suffer for
lack of moisture.

Coal Ashes as Manure.

Chemical analysis shows that there is
very little of value In coal ashes. Yet
the fact that they are porous makes
them an excellent mulch for fruit trees.
and If they are spread thickly on the
grass, by destroying that they save the
soil beneath from loss of moisture
and fertility, and have thus practically
the same effect as manure. Some re-
markable growths of squashes, pump
kins and tomatoes have been made on
heaps of coal ashes where the seeds of
those plants had been scattered. But
In every case there was some wood
ashes among the coal ashes, or else the
coal ash pile had been for months the
convenient receptacle for every kind
of refuse from the house, most of which
contained considerable of the elements
that make fertile soil.

Small Farms Pay.

Small farms can be made to pay If
properly utilized. One farmer in New
York State who has but twenty five
acres keeps two horses, one COW, and
raises two pigs each year, growing all
the food required to support his family
and stock, making poultry and eggs his
lspecialties. He devoted most of his
time to poultry, claiming that it was
less work than hauling milk to the rail
road station in the winter, aud that
leggs bring good prices every year. The
result was that he made a fair profit.
while farmers with large farms claim
ed to have made nothing When farm
ers decide that poultry can be made
leading object on farms, and not given
up to women and children, they will
have a source of income better than
many Others and for every month in
the year.

When loaded let the team stop often
to get their breath. 1t pays.
Better go twice than overload the
team. This overlooking is fruitful
cause for unsoundness.
Be especially careful in loading the
colts-a little lack Of Judgment has
ruined many fine horse.
If you find you have too much load
for the colt, throw part of It off before
he is discouraged. Let his muscles be-
come used to work by slow degrees.
Drive colts only short distances first
not far enough to tire them In the
least. Increase the distance a little
every day, and you will insure a
prompt, free driver.
Il you have man In your employ
who is timid and nervous, keep him
away from the colts. 1t requires a
leyel-headed, cool, courageous man to
handle colts successfully.
Inspire the confidence of colts bv
kindness and firnness every time Won

GOLD BY THE TON.

In personal letter, received In Port

respondent in Dawson City, he says.
among other things:
1.-THE stories OF the great yield Of
gold published in the United States
have not been exaggerated in the least.
The mind is unable TO grasp the real
situation, and appreciate the sights that
are so common here to everyday life.
In Dawson City today, ready for ship
ment, are between four and five tons
of gold. Can you realize that such a
thing is possible, or at all probablei
just consider, too, that all that Is
about one-third of the years output.
Men handle gold as you would plug
of tobacco. At the saloon bars, the
stores, restaurants or other places OF
business, the mines throw up their
sacks, and casually turn their backs,
never stopping to see If they are ac-
corded proper weight, Would you
think OF handing your purse over to
Portland barkeeper and allowing him
to take out the changer
I'm many OF the cabins along the
gulches where have visited l have
seen shelves loaded down with all
kinds of cans filled with gold. In one
cabin on Eldorado creek there are five
coal'oil cans full of the yellow metal,
weighing nearly l,200 pounds.
The Canadians are exercising the
laws leniently. and to the. satisfaction
OF the Americans, and generally speak
ing, the camp is orderly and very
quiet, considering the vast amount OF
money in circulation, and the number

variation il EnsiIaee.

1t is too commonly supposed that en-
silage made from fodder corn must be
uniform in its nutritiye value. This is
by no means the fact. The ensilage
put up the last few years is much bet
ter than that which was made at first.
when large quantity rather than quail
ity was what was mainly sought for.
All corn ensilage requires that some
supplementary food be given with it,
for corn is not weli-balanced ration.
But some corn ensilage requires more
of other food as its supplement. 1t is
possible to ensilage corn when it has
reached the caring stage, cutting up the
ear with the stalk. This is worth twice
or thrice as much for the same bulk as
corn fodder sown or drilled too thickly
to allow It to form ears, and cut as
soon as It got into tassel.

At Cornell University oats were sown
broadcast, in the usual manner, the
yield per acre being thirty bush
els. On another plot the oats were
drilled in fifteen inches apart, the
hand-wheel hoe being used to work be-
tween the rows. This may appear to
some as giving large share of labor
in that manner, but as the yield on the
drilled and worked plot was sixty-one
bushels per acre the method is worthy
of attention. A man with a wheel hoe
can go over large piece of ground in
a day, and it is possible that the meth
cd will pay.
