which will be uncallabe. This would
save the company $4,000 in interest
saved each year on the preferred, and
the cents per ton for every ton Of
coal mined, which now has to be set
aside for sinking fund for the bonds,
This item will amount to 100000 the
next year, and the two will save $40
900 year, or nearly per cent on the
common. This new preferred stock
would easily sell at 100, which accounts
for the present quotations Of the stocks
and bonds for which it is liable to be
retired.
The Pacific Coast Co, successor to
the late lamented Oregon Improvement
Co., is somewhat less of a local institu-

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, March 1.-THE sensation
al rise in Sugar was largely response
BILE for the elimination of much of the
short interest in the rest of the list,
material gains appearing notably
among the speculation while the rail-
ways at the high point averaged ia
per cent. but there was recession from
the best, and the market closed under
pressure.
II was a wild day on the exchange,
Sugar figuring for over quarter OF
million shares, with the aggregate
trading reaching nearly million
shares. The market was moving eau
tiously upward when Sugar burst into
prominence and touched 40. rise of
29A points over last night, II points
above the September boom prices of
"9I." The stock closed at 15912.
The fluctuations were erratiC. An
instance in point was the drop of ten
points on two transactions from the
high point. A trader sold short 300 off
the 500 shares traded in, at 10, and
within a moment covered at 100, the
only intermediate transaction being 100
shares at 1859. thus the broker realized
$4,000 on his short sale.
There were various rumors connected
with the movement in Sugar among
them the report that the trade war had
been settled and that an agreement had
been reached with the Glucose Refining
Company, and the Doscher and Ar
buckle interests. People in the trade
generally discredited the rumors, pro-
Tossing ignorance of any deal upon
which they were likely to be posted
were it in existence. Local interests
identified with the concerns mentioned
likewise discredited the reports except
in the case of the president of the SUI
gar Refining Company, who made no
statement before the market closed.
In some quarters the movement was
attributable to a corner in the stock
and a punishment of the shorts, while
on the other hand, house which was
active in the dealings claimed to be
ignorant of the advance, but thought it
of too great a magnitude to have been
merely a maneuvre against the shorts
! Tobacco, after yielding ~ points, made
an extreme rise of 1914 to ZIG in SYM
pathy with the movement in Sugar.

points, coincident with the movement

a lesser degree in the advance -Four

BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
In the Spraying of Pears of All Kinds
and Apples 1t Has Proved
Quite Effective.

AT Green's fruit farm we have found
by the present years experience that
pears are greatly benefited by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture. The spray
should be applied three times. The
first time at once after the trees have
blossomed and the next time few
weeks thereafter. The Seckel pear is
particularly inclined to be imperfect
unless sprayed, but where sprayed the
Seckel was smooth and beautiful. The
blemishes on other varieties of pears
can be largely removed by spraying
and the quality of the fruit is greatly
increased. In apple orchards buyers do
not care TO go far to see orchards that
have not been sprayed, knowing that
the fruit of such orchards cannot be
first-class. One spraying is not enough
for apple orchards, since frequent
showers are liable to occur at the sea-
son of the year when spraying is done,
which is at the close of blossoming We
have also sprayed our peach trees with
partial success, but the spraying not
entirely preventing the peach leaf curl.
There is no question whatever that the
orchardist must have spraying equip
ment in order to market the finest speci.
mems of fruit.-Green's Fruit Grower.

AIsike clover IL Valuable.

Alsike clover is valuable forage
crop and can be grown in many places
where ordinary red clover will not
yield profitably. 1t is perennial and
has no hairs on the stalk, SO it is not
dusty. Its bloom is sweet and makes
good honey. 1t will stand any amount
of wet. Planted in wet swules and de-
pressions, it will make abundant
growth and reseed itself from year to
year, affording a vast amount of eX-
cellent feed. II does not throw out
and freeze out, as do red and mammoth
clovers. Farmers would do well to try
patch on any low-lying land on the
farm. 1t withstands cold we'll and has
made good growth in Alaska.-Jeurnal
of Agriculture.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Long stable manure makes a good
r.ulch for the strawberry bed. but the
objection is that it contains too many
weed seeds.
1t is claimed that liberal dressing of
salt under ounce trees as far out as
the roots extend will help to induce
bearing
Moss-covered trees will be ben Gifted by
a whitewashing of lime and wood ashes
in equal parts, wet up to a proper con-
sistency with water.
The greatest enemy of house plants is
dust. Much of this may be avoided by
covering before commencing to sweep.
Wash the leaves occasionally.
If proper work in pruning is done at
the time of planting the tree and for
the next four or five years little time or
labor will be needed afterwards.
In raising trees or plants from cut
tings the important point is to have the
callus formed as soon as possible, so
that the emission of roots will be a
little ahead of the unfalding of the
leaves.-St. Louis Republic.

MANIToBA'S CAPACITY.
Can Raise Enough Wheat to supply
Britain All She Requires
from Abroad.

Toronto, Nov. 1Oth.--The World COM
ments on the report of the United En-
pire trade league on the capacity of
Canada as granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of AZ millions
acres. Deducting ten million for lakes,
rivers, townsites, and waste land, 81
100000 acres are left for farm cult
vation or homes for 10000 families on
800 acres each and as up to now there
are only 27 900 farmers there altogeth-
er, that leaves room in one province for
s9,0Os more wheat growers. Suppos-
ing, then, we got them there and each
one of them out of his 320 acres grows
on an average 100 acres at 20 bushels
to the acre, if you figure it up you will
find it is quite possible for Manitoba
alone to supply us with all the wheat
we require from abroad. 1t is only a
question of money, and, comparatively
speaking, not money either. The cost
of one frst-class battleship (about
6 750O0o) would put 5000 families on to
farms in the North West, allowing $50
to each to find them in implements,
seeds, horses, &c. Would keep them
until their first crop was harvested
Five thousand farmers, averaging 10C
acxes of wheat each at 20 bushels to the
acre, means an extra 100000 bushels,
for if that scheme is not liked Britain
would put duty on foreign wheat.
In addition to the wheat lands of
Manitoba there are the millions ot
acres in Assiniboia, Alberta and Sas
katchewan.

TRANsPLANTING TREES.
Description of n Rack and Boat E"-
pecinlly Designed for This
Operation.

1t is very often desirable to trans
plant trees which have already at
tained considerable size, but it is
not safe to do this either in the fall or
spring, for before the roots establish
themselves to the new conditions OF
things the tops become lifeless. As a
consequence very few large trees are
transplanted. If the tree could be re-
moved from one place to another with
out disturbing many of its roots, by
pruning the tops, the operation would
be attended with less difficulty.
A very successful way is suggested
by the illustration portrayed herewith
This operation is performed in winter
while the ground is frozen. Consider

Coughs of an Engine.

The cough, or puff, of a railway en-
gine is due to the abrupt emission of
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the coughs can, of
course, be heard following each other
quite distinctly, but when speed is
put on the putfs come out one after
the other much more rapidly, and
when IS coughs second are produced
they cannot be separately distin-
guished by the ear. A locomotive run
ming at the rate of nearly 20 miles an
hour gives out 20 puffs of steam every
second-that is ten for each of its two
cylinders.

able of the earth is removed from
around the outside before frost, care
being taken not to disturb the roots
any more than absolutely necessary.
The amount of earth left will depend
upon the size of the trees. This is to
remain until the ball of earth is frozen
hard enough TO stand moving. Then
the apparatus is applied as suggested,
and the tree we'll protected after it
reaches its new home. The latter place
of reception is of course to be prepared
before the ground freezes. The tree is
launched in the same manner as It was
loaded. The size of the arms of the
standards must be governed by the
weight they must sustain. OF course
for very large trees guy ropes will
have to be used. With smaller ones
little difficulty will be experienced in
getting the roots with their ball OF
earth on to the stone boat.-Farm and
Fireside.
