COTTON LETTERS.
New York. May 16.-Hubbard Bros &
Co. say: Liverpool was the weak market
to-day, declining under the realizing of the
long interest which could not withstand
the heavy offerings from this side by the
arbitrage brokers who have taken over
the long interest here. 1t is now believed
the fluctuations of the past few days rep
resent the adjustment of the details of this
liquidation through many brokers. The
new crop was steadier all day on Euro
pean arbitrage buying and local covering.
Crop advices continue fairly favorabls,
the predictions being for clearing weather
in the Southwest. following the recent
heavy showers. Manchester spinners ap-
pear disposed TO fan back on their reserve
stocks as threatened manipulation In this
market seems past. Crop accounts will
govern the movement of the market"
New York, May 16.-Murphy e. Co. say:
Cotton in Liverpool declined 3-32d on
spots (middling upland, $500; sales. 5000
bales. Futures opened about 5-64d lower.
and after numerous intermediate changes
closed 7-64d below yesterday on other,
and to 5 points on new crop. Our market
opened 10 to 3 points lower, lost about 7
points more on old crop, most on heavy
selling by longs, and some European sci =
ing; also some fresh selling for American
account recovered. 1t is estimated that
ring settlements this week of August de-
livery cotton exceed 100000 bales, and it IL
thought that the leading bull interest In
that position has been pretty well even
ed up. Notwithstanding continued favor
able weather conditions in the South, the
new crop position shows strength and diff
ferences must narrow, we favor the new
crop months at prevailing differences"

Fertiiizing Fruit Trees.

II is only of late years that the necessity
Of Systematically fertilizing fruit ees
has been well understood. 1t was argued
that as a tract of lanl in forest trees
maintained its fertility and even added TO
its store of plant food the same would be
true of orchards TO large extent. This
argument was never a good one. inasmuch
as the leaf growth of forest falls to the
ground and remains there to decay and
become plant food while the leaf growth
of the more open orchards was blown
away by the winds of autumn. Forest
lands being shaded all the lime do ros
lose anything by evaporation. while or
chards being more open to the sun lose
large amounts of plant food in this way
unless they are properly cared for
The essential plant foods are the same
for trees as for other crops, but not in
same proportions always In ordinary
farm crops the largest portion OF the pot
ash used goes into the straw and stalks
and is returned to the soil while in trees
II remains In the body and limbs OF the
trees or is carried away with the fruit
and leaves. II follows that an orchard
is very exhaustive crop as long as "A is
growing and bearing fruit and needs fer
ulizing very carefully II vigor Of growth
and productiveness is TO be maintained. If
the orchard is on rich and naturally fer
tile soil the chances are that its greatest
need will be potash.
The phosphoric acid in the soil will not
be exhausted as quickly as will the potash
and the necessary amount of nitrogen
may be maintained by growing clover ON
the land. Experiments have proved that
barn yard manure is not as efficient as
commercial fertilizers I'm promoting tha

The FOrty-Acre Farm From IA West
ern StandpOint.

The Wisconsin AgTiculturlst argues that
the average Northwestern farmer is pos
sessed of the idea that not less than 100
acres of land is necessary in order for him
to profitabIy employ his time and labor.
While under a condition incident to a new
country, where land was cheap and meth
DDS necessarily slipshod and wasteful, this
assumption may have been justified, it
is none the less true that with the changed
conditions of the present there is much
to be said in favor of the smaller farm.
Small farms, well tiled, are a very mark
ed factor in all the most prosperous agri-
cultural sections of the cd world. We
have been asked to state in what man.
ner a man could operate, farm of forty
acres 50 as 10 make good living and
save little money. 1t is not an easy
question TO answer, because, giving the
best conditions for carrying on such a
farm, not every man has been properly
educated to successfully do so. The con-
duct of such a farm involves at the start
an entire change in existing methods
the adoption of an intensive system of
working the land and regard for small
economies which are largely wanting in
prevailing methods. There will have to
be a greater diversiication of crops and
a literal making of two blades of grass
and two kernels of corn to grow where
but one grew before. The COW, and for
such a farm she should be of the highest
dairy type, will have the leading place
on such forty-acre farm. The COW VIII
be supple meuted to the fullest extent pos
sible by the hen. A few pigs may be kept
but not many. There should be at least
two acres of orchard, vegetable garden
and small fruits, and if one can properly
care for them, twenty-five or thirty hives
of bees in the orchard. In the matter
of stock and poultry, only pure bred ami
mails should be kept, as quite an income
may easily be derived by having pure
bred animals, fowls and eggs for sale TO
breeders Corn should be the main grain
crop raised, as this, better than almost
any other crop, will stand forcing and
make the largest return for extra fer
tiizing and cultivation There are sew
eral special crops which on such farm
1t would pay TO raise, such as onions eel
cry, popcorn, potatoes. If not located too
far from a market, tomatoes, peppers,
melons, cabbages and a good large bed
of asparagus Could be made very profta-
BILE. The raising Of forty bushels Of corn
or oats to the acre on the quarter section
farm and the selling of such crop at 20
cents a bushei, as so many do, represent
what is probably the most Improbable
type of farming to be found, and from
this low level are a well defined series
of steps upward and forward and well up
toward the top will be found the well-con-
farm.

Much interest is now being taken in
