seed without obtaining "a stand, and
at the end of the fourth planting,
the planter was positive that the
seed was utterly worthless. He
made a fifth sowing, however, and
got a perfect stand, thus showing
that the seed was all right, and that
his four failures had been due to
some unknown cause, probably one
or more of those already mentioned.
Considering the season at which this
crop IS sOwn in the South, and the
usual climatic conditions which pre-
vailat the time of sowing, the planter
must not think it strange if he does
not obtain a perfect stand in every
instance.
Sow the seed in drills 20 to "a
inches apart, covering the seed from
q to l inch deep, and firming the
soil. When the plants are we'll up,
they should be thinned out from 5
to 10 inches apart, according to vari-
ETY.. Cultivate often enough to keep
the ground in good mellow condition
and free from weeds. 1t often hap
pens that more turnips are raised
than can be marketed to advantage
when the crop is sold. Remember
that by storing properly, they can be
kept for a considerable time and
used as wanted, or held until the
price has advanced. In the Central
South, a common method of storing
is to pile them in the field, after
pulling them, being very careful not
to break or cut off the roots, or to
bruise OF cut the turnip. Cover the
piles with dirt, from Is inches to 2
feet deep, to prevent the turnips
from freezing. When piling them
in this way, about an inch of top
should be left on each one. They
will stand through the winter in
this way, and in the spring the pile
should be opened, and the tops and
roots trimmed off close. They should
then be stored in a cellar o potato
bank, between layers of straw. If
desired they can be stored in this
way in the fall, without piling them
in the field at all. The object is to
keep them cool, and prevent them
from freezing, which will cause
them to rot.
Every winter and spring an i'm
mense number of barrels of turnips
and rutabagas + shipped South to
be sold in our markets. This de-
mand should be supplied by wv
growers. Dairymen, who raise ruta-
bagas for their stock, will do well to
pay special attention to the growing
and storing of this crop, which may
be made one of the most valuable in
their business. While the r~utabaga
has not the high feeding value of
the more concentrated feeds, yet 1T
is very close to that of the cabbage
and a supply of well-grown and stored
rutabagas throughout the winter
will supply the stock of the dairy
farmer with the change of feed
which is so essential in obtaining the
best results from stock. The amount
of fertilizing material returned to
the soil in the case of this crop,
either by the use of leaves as green
manure, or better still, as stable ma
nure and compost after having been
fed to stock is very considerable, and
should tend toward a largely increasd
cultivation of this useful crop among
dairymen and general farmers.

TRADE Is RATHER Dull
BRADSTREET'S SUMMING Up OF
THE BUSINESS SITUATION
FOR THE WEEK
GRAIN CONDITIONS A FACTOR
other Staples Are nt Higher Rates,
and the War in China Is
Having Considerable
Effect.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
"Distrbutive trade is dull, seasonably
so in most instances, and prices of man
ufactured products are generally weak,
but exceptions to the former are found
where crop conditions are exceptionally
promising, and in the case Of prices
where the readjusting movement has been
overdone on the down side.
The upward rush of wheat prices cul-
minated at the close Of last week, and
the reactions and iTregularity since,
mainly due to heavy realizing, would
point to the movement having been,
temporarily at least, overdone. Reports
of rain in the Northwest, though it is
claimed too late to help the crop in Min
nesota and the two Dakotas, have had
some reassuring effect, and second
thought apparently incines bears to the
belief that the late advance discounted
much of the expected, or predicted
shortage in yield of the worlds crop.
Advices from the Northwest are of little
more than half crop of wheat, but es
Inmates as to the outturn in bushels
vary accordingly as the government re-
port of 160000,000 bushels, or the com
mercial estimate of 200, 100000 bushels
yield last year in the three states is used
DIS a OASIS.
"a short-nved scare on the reports on
the dry weather in the corn belt sym
pathy with the early advance in wheat
and, what is more important, apparent
increased popularity of corn on home and
export account, was responsible for this
cereal reaching the highest point paid for
a year past. Oats and other farm crops
also sympathized, as did most hog prod
ucts
Butter is higher on small receipts.
Sugar is at the highest price reached at
this time for ten years past, owing to
active canning demand and the strength
is chargeable with the advance in teas,
not only from the former country, but
from Japan, some interruption in trans
portation being apparently looked for if
the Asiatic trouble increases.
Heavy rains are complained of in the
entire cotton belt east of the Mississippi
and the crop is very generally in the
grass The result has been an advance
of 1-3c on new crop futures, while the
critical position of old supplies, the visi-
Bile being 100000 bales smaller than a
year ago, however, resulted in an ad-
vance Of nearly 15c on spots. Increased
cost of the raw material Is not balanced
by an advance in finished products. The
contrary is in fact the case, because print
cloths are 14c off and prints are 1zc low
er per yard.
Reports from the iron and steel trade
are as pessimistic as ever. Nominally,
quotations at Pittsburg are unchanged,

Loggers on the ST. Croix are to make
effort to secure a share of the logs cut
last winter, Notwithstanding the fact
that creeks and streams tributary TO the
main river are lower than they have
been at any time for years. Fortunately
dams on some of the streams are in good
condition and considerable water has been
held back, the idea being to-hold it until
rains increased the volume of water and
then to turn it loose. Rains, however,
have failed to come and logGers and mill
men are badly in need of logs. Yester-
day about sixty drivers We're sent to
Mosse river and, after working there a
few days, they will try to drive in the
Mosse river drive and the logs now in the
st. CroiX above Kettle river rapids. 1t
is estimated that there are about lO0,-
OJ0 900 that can be reached that way, but
of that amount they fear they Will be
unable to bring in more than 40OOO,O0O

some of the mill men supplied for time
