AN ADJUSTABLE GATE. lower one being
made oblong, say, a half inch play on
the rod that the gate hangs on. Now
have your hangers made of round rods
as large as you think necessary to sup
port the weight of the gate and any
length You require to raise the gate.
You can have it so that hogs or sheep
can pass under as well as for snow
drifts. Have holes punched or drilled
in the lower rod and square headed
plugs fastened in them, and they will
support the gate at any desired height.
When yOu wish to raise the gate, just
take hold of it with both hands while
the gate is shut and raise it up above
the plug and then let got, and it will
stay there unless you raise too much
on the front end while closed. The

The Mexican burroS ascertain where
to dig for water by closely observing
the surface of the ground. One oh
server writes:
I'VE had found water in an arroyo
of Il sufficient quantity to make cot
fee, when we saw three burroS search
ing for water. They passed several
damp places, examining the ground
closely, when the leader halted near us
and began to paw Il hole in the hot,
dry sand. Having dug a hole some
thing over Il foot in depth, he backed
out and watched it intcnly. TO our
surprise it soon began to fill with wa
ter. Then he advanced, took Il drink
and stepped aside for his companions
to drink. When they went away, we
drank from their well and found the
water to be much cooler than any we
had found for many IL day. There is
no witchcraft about Mexican burros,
but they have good horse sense"

sTAKED AND PRCNED TOMATO VINES.
fields and kept busy pruning too. This
method of culture has been systemat-
ically tested by the New Jersey expert
mcnt station, but the success in the
north has not been as great as that in
the south.
In the first place, the tomatoes are
planted in rows three and one half feet
apart and three feet apart in the rows,
which would be close for ordinary field
work, where the plants lie on the
ground. The plants are cared for in
the usual manner until they begin to
bend over with their own weight. Then
six foot stakes rived out of pine are
pushed firmly or driven into the
ground after a sOftening rain and the
plants tied closely to them with
piece of ordinary white wrapping
string ten inches long. Next every
plant is pruncd, and every sucker is
pulled out. leaving only single stems
with no limbs. In a short time, with
rapid growth, another tying IS ncces-
sary, care being taken to tie the fruit
bunch on the outside, so as not to rub
against the stake. Almost constant
pruning is necessary.
The effect of this cultivation is to
force the crop ahead of the rest about
six days. The tomatoes grow to a
large size, and the fruit clusters make
an almost continuous line the height of
the stake. The fruit is where it gets
plenty of light and air, and there is no
rotting and practically no sun scald-
ing. 1t is also easily picked, no time
being lost in looking for ripe fruit.
With tomatoes bringing from s.
down to 50 crate this method pays
well, but ii is hardly of any practical
value in the northern tomato field for
the main crop. However, the plan has
a number of advantages for the home
garden or patch. concludes a writer in
Farm and FireSide in an article from
which these items and illustration are

Solid or Spoke Wheels.

"Noticin" the recent complaint in
The Rural New Yorker about the
heavy draft of broad tired wagons
with spoke wheels in very soft or
muddy roads or fields, and which is
entirely truthful according to my OBJ
servation. wish to say further that in
loose sandy ground the same objection
holds. The loose earth drops in over
the fCllips and makes veritable plowS
of the wheels. But this objection is
entirely overcome by using wheels
with solid cCnterS. We are now using
a low wagon with wheels having five
inch tires and no spOkes. the entire
space between the tires and the iron
hubs being wood. OF course there is
hollow space between the two plank
sides of each Wheel in which are light
iron SpokeS that give sufficient strength
and yet lightneSS. These are the best
wheels | ever used on the farms that
have owned and worked. They do not
and cannot load up with mud nearly
so much as ordinary wagon wheels"
says Il writer in the journal mentioned.

FINANCE AND TRADE

Stoeks-The Saturday short session
of the stock exchange was a feverish
and exciting one, under the domination
OF much the same influences as for some
days past. The holiday in London left
the New York stock market without its
accustomed guide to the speculative
sentiment of the outside world with the
usual result that professional room
traders were at sea for a time after the
opening. The sentiment, observable for
some time past among the professional
that the market was oversold and was
due for a rally, was due for a rally,
was in evidence at the opening and was
reinforced by some obvious nervous
ness on the part of short. The latter
element covered freely in Northern Pa
cific and there was a firm tendency in
sugar the trunk lines and Reading first
pfd. which served as points of resistance
to weakness. But the continued de-
moralization in Brooklyn rapid transit
upset the confidence of the bull ele-
ment, and stocks began to come on the
market in large volumes before the end
OF the first hour. Northern Pacific IS
carried down over a point from the
high level after the opening. Extreme
weakness did not become general, the
trunk lines holding comparatively firm,
and shorts covered in anticipation of
the bank statement.
The excited advance in wheat here
was an influence in the break in stocks.
The market had become quiet and
steady when the bank statement APP
peared, and gave a shock to sentiment
by the large decrease shown in cash
rnsorvac Ectimatas bacpd on tho off
cial reports of s~ub-treasury opera
lions and statements of the movement
of currency by express to and from the
interior furnished by the banks them
selves had foreshadowed a gain in cash
by the banks, after allowing for the
gold exported during the week of a
million dollars or over. Wall street is
mystified as to the source of the drain
which has depleted the cash resources
of the clearing house institutions to the
extent Of $3,168, 800.
The only plausible explanation which
suggests itself is that the decrease rep
resents some provisions made by the
banks to meet the requirement for the
withdrawal of S., 200, 900 of government
deposits called for Monday. The insig-
nificant change in the loan item shows
that if further loans have been placed
in Germany this week, they have been
offset by calling of loans in the New
York market. The demand from time
money during the week indicated some
expansion of credits. Shifting of loans
caused in this way may have had more
to do than has been suspected with the
weakness in the stock market.
The late break in the market on the
bank statement carried some promi-
nent railroad and industrial stocks
from Ito 2 points below last nights
level. National Steel lost 3, North
western "a and Brooklyn Transit 43s.
Except for a few rallieh on covering
by room shorts, the market closed
weak.

larly towards a lower plane of prices.

ceipts here were IT'S cars.
Oats were active and strong. Wheat
was a great bull influence, but north
west damage to the crop and loss of hay
and pasture in that territory were inn
portant factors. Local interests took
profit on the bulges and elevator peo-
pie were sellers. July sold between 25c

The provisions market was excited
and strong at the best. Pork showed
an advance of almost 81; lard 25c AMI
ribs 35c. The market took its start
from the grain advance. Outside came
in a rush, as buyers and shorts were in
a semi-panic. From the top the mar
ket reacted partially, selling by packers
being the factor. July pork sold be-
tween $3.50 and $1,000, and closed
471ac over yesterday at $685.; July
lard between $7.05 and $7.17, closing 15c
higher at $7.O71A; and July ribs be-
tween S7.1273 and $3.50, with the close
171ac improved at Sis.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, June 23.-July wheat at
the close of a s~ensationally bullish SEES
sion to-day, closed 4Tc over yesterday
at 8Sc. | sold Immediately after the
bell rang at soc. A strong advance at
Liverpool and the almost total destruc-
ton of the northwest crop were the
factors. Corn closed A@%c and OTIS
&c improved. Provisions were excited,
July pork closing 471ac, July lard 15c
and July ribs 1712c better than the
close yesterday.
July wheat opened 2Bc to 3%c higher
at sec to SIC, advanced to sec, declined
to S6&c, and then rallied to SSc, closing
at the last given price, 47sc over yester-
day. This, in cold figures, is the story
of a wild, panicky and decidedly bullish
market. The opening was rather start
ling in its strength, but throughout the
session the market had the appearance
of bullishness gone wild. An advance
of Sd at Liverpool and a mass of mes
sages reporting an almost total failure
OF the spring wheat crop in the north
west, brought in buying orders by the
hundreds. Many sections of the Dako-
tas and Minnesota and of Manitoba re-
ported total failures. Others told of
thin, spare, sickly crops good to from
three to six bushels to the acre.
There was still no indication of rain
in the northwest, while the temperature
remained high. There was little talk
to-day of improvement if good rains
should fall even at this late date. Stat
istieian Shows estimate of a crop of To-
600, 900 bushels for the three States.
should there be no further deteriora-
ton, was considered too high by many
to-day. At the opening the pit was
damned with buyers and sales were
made all the way from sec to Sic.
Heavy profit taking by longs kept the
crowd from going perfectly crazy.
There was, apparently, no big short in
terest. Longs, following the opening,
forced July back to S51ac by dumping
large lots onto the market. Then the
market bucked with a vengeance. The
northwest was a heavy buyer as usual.
and foreigners, with whom most of the
short interest apparently lay, covered
freely. July, under this buying and
some let-up in the realizing pressure,
rebounded to SSc. Longs crushed it
back to $3.50 against, but permanent
dips were not on the schedule and the
market closed entirely recovered. July
47sc over yesterday at SSc. This is an
advance of 1850 since last Saturday.
Before the crowd had left the pit. how
ever, July sold at soc. The cash bust
ness was a small consideration. At
lantic port clearances in wheat and
flour were equal to 800. coo bushels.
Primary points received 5S7 600 bush
els, compared with LOOT, 900 last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported All
cars, against 451 last week and So a
year ago. Receipts here were 143 cars,
% of contract grade.
Trade in corn was active and broad.
The great wheat strength was unques-
tionably the influence, as country re-
ceipts were liberal and the shipping de-
mand poor. Following the opening adj
vance selling by longs forced the price
back, but a rally followed and the close
was with most of the advance held.
