And target FOR many n marble hard

Dly birds and my beasts have fled,

A bear with vanished head.

And Noah, wife, and the children, too,

Crento n Private Market.

II Is not very hard matter for any
farmer to create n private market for
his products. Some of the most pros
porous dairymen are those who only
keep few cows and sell the milk and
butter from them TO private parties
at better figure than they would get
elsewhere. II pays for the farmer to
create Il demand for his goods and
then to see that the goods are always
kept up to the standard set by him.
All this tends TO give the purchaser
confidence, and that is what each indi-
vldual farmer should he looking and

Much having been said lately about
the tests made at the Rhode Island
Experiment Station in the use of lime
upon certain soils and for various
crops, we desire to call attention to
the possible danger of using lime with
an acid phosphate. The object In
treating bone and phosphate rock with
sulphuric acid is to render the phos

may become more readily available
for plant food. II does this by remov.

soluble form. Lime may be used with
bone meal, because that already has
its phosphorlc acid combined with ns
much lime as II can take up, and II
really becomes available as 1t is acted
upon by the acid in the soil. But
where one uses enough of bone meal
there is little need to use lime in any
other form.-Boston Cultlvator.

TRADE REVIEW.
Wheat Prices Rather Wcak-A Big Export

preaching Elections.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S "Weekly Review
OF Trade" says: A settlement Of the coa
strike having been effected, business
breathes more freely in the East and dis
tribution OF merchandise is increasing
slowly again, though the election ex-
citement keeps new buying in many
lines down to wants for immediate con-
sumption. In the West there is not
the same hesitation, and there, as well
as in the South. the marketing OF crops
IS responsible for feeling OF much con-
hdence in the movement OF business ii
the Nation acts conservatively at the
polls. Prices OF commodities are weak
or, and the caution so gratifying in a
presidential year keeps speculation at
minimum. Wheat has shown more
weakness, due in part to the greater ac-
tlvity at Russian ports; and Atlantic ex-
ports Tor the week were only 2,647, 1925
bushels, against 3,27o, ,22o year ago.
Corn also declined, but is 6 cents above

loss in exports, in three weeks 7,6547o5
bushels, against Io,o24,4o6 bushels in
1899. Few important fluctuations oc-
Cured in iron and steel, but there were
small advances in Bessemer pig at
Pittsburg, and bilets at Philadelphia.
Moderate gains are reported in the vol
ume OF transactions, although the ten
dency is to delay large contracts few
weeks. lmplement-makers take bar
iron freely and orders for pipe are ur-
gent with severe weather coming on.
Structural shapes are taken for foreign
points as far distant as Egypt, and do

mills have gone into blast and the gen.

the week were 200 in the United States,

Bradstrcet says: September exports
were the largest ever reported for that
month, and swelled by high-priced cot
ton shipments, the nine months returns
are far in advance OF all previous years.
Imports, on the other hand, show few
gains, and the outlook is for a record
breaking export trade. Wheat exports
