CONDITION. or WHEAT.


WASHINGTON, April 10.-The April
report Of the statistician OF the depart
ment of agriculture will show the av-
erage condition of winter wheat on
April / to have been 82.1 against 17.9
on April /, 1899, S6.7 on April l, 1898,
and ten-year average Of 1913. While
the ravages of the Hessian fly in ONO,
Michigan and Indiana will probably re-
suit in not one of these three States
producing more than half crop, an
exceptionally high condition is report
ed from the winter wheat States west
Of the Mississippi river and from the
Pacific coast The principal averages
are as follows: Pennsylvania, u; Ohio,
AZ; Michigan, 81; Indiana, 81; Illinois,
8S; Missouri, 81; Kansas, SO; Texas,
10l; Oklahoma, SO; Washington, 100;
The average conditions Of winter
rye is S4S, against $40 on April l OF
1899, 92.1 on April 1, 1898, and ten
year average of S9.1.
The percentage of mortality among
farm animals during the year ending
March 81, 1900, was not only below
that of last year, but was also below
the ten and fifteen-year averages. VI
horses, 1.8 per cent are reported as
having died from disease, against 2.3
per cent. the preceding year, and ten
year average of 1.9 per cent. OF cattle,
mortality Of IL per cent. from winter
exposure and of 20 per cent. from dis
ease is reported, against % per cent.
from exposure and 2.03 per cent. from
disease the preceding year and 10
per cent. from exposure ana l.S per
cent. from disease as the ten-year av-
erages. Of sheep, the deaths from ex-
posture amounted to 1.S per cent. and
those from disease to per cent,
against 35 per cent. from exposure
and 81 per cent. from disease the pre-
ceding year and 2.6 per cent. and 2.3
per cent. the respective ten-year av-
erages. No estimate of the number OF
swine on January l last having been
made by the department, the rate Oh
mortality for the country at large
cannot be determined. OF the seven
teen principal States, however, twelve
report mortality below that OF last
year, in Texas the rate is unchanged
and only in North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Arkansas is it even
slightly higher than in 1883. only
in five States, containing an aggregate
of less than one million head OF swine
is the mortality reported above the ten
year average
AS regards condition on April l
horses are reported at 81, cattle at 9I.2
and sheep ait 1913 as compared with
94.4, 92.5 and 92.4 respectively on
April /. 1899.

METAL MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The local
market for tin reached from yester-
days decline to $50 5O@30 rs, a net
rise of 25 points. The advance was
due chiefly to favorable advices from
London and the scarcity of sellers.
The close was frmer. but quiet at

CHICAGO, April 10.-Uncertaintv

this afternoon, and the prudence of a

wheat market to-day. May wheat

May oats 1sc over yesterday. Provis-
ions were strong and active, closing
from 21a@5c for May ribs to 25c i'm
proved for May pork.
Wheat began the session firm, May
1sc over yesterday at 670671sc. Paris
was higher and the Michigan condition
was put at GA per cent. Ordinarily
such items would have received but
little notice, but as there was no early
news of another sort, traders took
what they could get and acted on it.
The market touched $3.50, following
the opening, but reacted later helped
by Bradstreet's decrease in the worlds
visible and the strength of corn, Nav
ascending to 67sac. The close was
firm, May A@ssc up at 674c. The
market was narrow and mostly local
in character. Uncertainty over the
government report had the effect of
blocking any big moves either way.
As the session progressed the belief
that the report might put the condi-
ton under previous expectations grew
and undoubtedly had some effect in
boosting the price. Receipts here were
II cars, none of contract grade. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 3SS cars,
against 529 last week and 1S5 last
year. Primary receipts were 1000

The forces of reaction finally pre-

low last nights close. This result was
achieved after many vicissitudes and
extreme irregularity, but the mere fact
of the presence Of an aggressive bear

terrent to the buying demand from
outsiders, which has constituted the
underlying strength of the market.

falling off in the volume of orders,

were contested to-day by pool opera
lions in number of stocks, and the
continued demand from London for
stocks was against them. But the
operators for a rise seemed to lose
courage towards the close of the day
and realizing in stocks which had
shown strength was very general.
These included in the railroad list par
ticularly the Baltimore & Ohio stocks,
Missouri Pacific and other southwest

some of the coalers. The industrials

The stock sold off again with the gen.

suffered especially from bear pressure
and realizing, and the grangers were
somewhat affected by the forecasts
of the government crop report, which
had bullish effect on the wheat
market. The signs of encouragement
on the part of the manipulators for
the advance acccentuated the reac-
tionary tendency as the day advanced
and some sharp net losses in railroad
stocks are the result. A further rise
in sterling exchange to within a frac-
ton of the gold export point led to a
discussion of the prospect of an out
ward movement of gold The contin-
ued ease of money here would favor
such a movement, but the taking up
of the instalment of the British loan,
which stiffened to-days money mar
ket in London, may be followed by a
relaxation in money rates there and
a sympathetic response in sterling ex-
change here.

FARMER ANDPI.ANTER.
TREATMENT OF SANDY SOILS.
Care Should be Taken to escertaln
the Lacking Constituents
for Plant Food.

We have recently had a numter OF
inquiries in regard to the treatment
of sandy soils. Sandy soils, as Is ap-
parent to anyone, are naturally lack
ing in humus. A sand pile is SIMPLY
sand, and is utterly lacking in humus.
Sandy soil, as rule, has some aG-
mixture of other soils than sand. and
hence may contain some humus, out
not always nearly enough. The first
thing to do, therefore, is to introduce
this lacking element of fertility. 4. we
could mix with such soil good, rich.
black soil to the amount of 81 per
cent, we should aGd the necessary
humus and make good soil SO far
as that element can make one .,ut
that is not practical. 1t is sometimes
practical, however, to apply peat or
muck, and it is splendid for such soils.
But our main reliance is upon barn
yard manures and the legumes. espe-
cially COW peas, soy beans and Canada
peas. OF these We should choose -he
cow peas. There has been frequent
discussion of the question as to
whether the removal of the vines of
cow peas is warranted, and the roots
depended upon to supply about as
much fertilizing element as both the
vines and roots would. On ordinary
sell we believe that this would be the
case, as we have sometimes before
stated. But with a sandy soil we
would plow the vines under. We are
attempting to make new soil, to give
it more substance. II we can mix
in decayed vegetation, we can accom-
plish this. We should adopt short
rotation and nave it run into cow
peas as often as practicable.
There are other manures that act
bcnefic;ally upon sandy soils, and
among them nothing IS equal to dried
blood for supplying nitrogen. Some
times this fertilizer is adulterated,
and care should be exercised to obtain
the best, which will contain about IL
per cent. of nitrogen, and perhaps q
little more. Fish, tankage ana cot
ton seed meal are very good, and may
be freely used, unless the cost ss too
great. Phosphoric acid is very def
cient in sandy soils. and there IS no
better source Of supply of this than
basic Stag. Ashes may be used to sup
ply the required potash. which is
much less needed than either phos-
phoric acid or nitrogen. Lime has an
excellent physical effect upon the soil
and also supplies plant focd, but ashes
will furnish it, and If but little pot
ash is necessary. leached ashec will
do as well as nnleached. II lime is
used it should be exposed to tie air
a long time before being applied

A Strange Compact.

An interesting and puzzling sight
greets the visitor to Mount Moriah
cemetery, Philadelphia. Some 20
years ago three eccentric men OF
wealth put up in the most secluded
corner three tall shafts Of rough hewn
granite. They had been friends long
time and they agreed that as each
died his shaft was to be broken and
the fragments left where they fell.
The second of this trio has just passed
away and his column has been shat
tered, as was that of his former friend
years ago. No fence incloses the
strange monuments, and no names are
carved on the granite.-Chicago
Chronicle.
