day in lifting the level of prices. But
it became manifest early in the day that
Yesterdays sustaining influence in the
strength of New Jersey Central and its
allied stocks was lacking today. Never
theless a considerably higher level of
prices was obtained in the Grangers Bal
timore and Ohio and Missouri Pacific.
Sugar, the local fractions and Peoples
Gas were also strong. The steel stocks
suffered from realizing on the published
racort that the steel interests were
comforting to maintain prices. The Lon
don selling was persisted in later than
usual and had an effect in combination
with the break in the Steel stocks. The
later efforts of the bears conferred on
Louisville and Nashville which after
rising u was driven down 2%.
In January the directors declared
per cent. dividend on this stock for the
semi annual period, which was called
l1a per cent regular, and " per cent.

afterwards rushed up on the assertion
that the coming semi annual disburse-
ment would be 2h per cent Now the
traders are selling the stock on the sur
mise that at Mondays dividend meeting
there will be declared ~ per cent. and
Y per cent. extra, as was done in Janu-
Try. Other stocks which have been promi-
nently mentioned for dividend per cent
were most sharply effected in sympathy
The whole market fell below last nights
level and closed heavy at about the
lowest.

New oYrk, July 6.-Strong Liverpool
cables dominated the local cotton market
today and inspired considerable bull spec
ulation in the afternoon. The bearish
effect of fine weather reports, sensational
political news from China and a better
tenor of crop testimony was for the
time being small in comparison with the
influence of pronounced advance in both
spot and future cotton abroad especially
as news of the latter was supplemented
by generous buying orders from Liverpool
Our market started firm in tone at an ad-
vance of one to six points and scored
net rise of ten to seventeen points be-

our market was less firm and prices
slid off from the top several points Under
exceptionally fine weather reports and
predictions for the entire belt Shorts
were quite active on the theory that
Liverpool would respond to the fine
weather tomorrow. The market later
turned firm, July reaching 1910. The

Avoid Now Treatment" for nox&
Bulletin So, Indiana Experiment Sta
ton: Several years ago. when lectur-

Mr.. s. II. Todd OF Ohio advocated the
feeding OF meat from hogs that had
died OF cholera to healthy pigs. The
claim was that feeding this diseased
flesh produced a mild form OF the dis
ease. and the pigs fed the same there
after would be free Of cholera This
view advanced by Mr.. Todd caused
considerable comment. Apparently.
however. the method OF treatment
adopted by him was not entirely a sue

was perhaps just as much a case OF
cholera as many swine breeders re-
port on.
At the present time an attempt IL

on the market much such a method of
treatment as that adopted by Mr..
Todd. The claim Is made that preK-
nant sows fed flesh from cholera-dls-
eased swine will have the malady IN

experiments have been conducted BY
disinterested parties to prove the ef-
fectiyeness of this method, reasoning

ence with other diseases. both with hu-
mans and animals. It Is entirely I'M
iikeiy that this method will prove a
preventive. Further, this station In in
possession OF facts proving that pigs

Probably NO forage crop has attract
ed more attention In IL, at years than
the COW pea. 1t was slow in getting \
toothold in public esteem. but when
that position was once obtained 1t ad-
vaneed very rapidly in public favor.
This Is largely due to the fact that the
experiment stations took up the COW
pea and Investigated it. They found
II to be very good plant for the COL
lection Of nitrogen and its introduc-
ton into the soil. The farmers are now
In close touch with the experiment sta

and safely grown. We do not hes,sSts
to say that II we had no experiment
stations the COW pea would be still
struggling for recognition Without
doubt the COW pea is destined to play
much larger part in our agriculture
than at present. There is no reason
why the farmers that have ground in
the early crops in the spring and first
part OF the summer should not plant
COW peas afterward. or course the pea
