The experiment stations and farmers
observation of cause and effect have
given evidence many times that the
amount and quality Of the wheat crop
and of other grain crops depend large
ly upon the quality of the seed used.
The larger and plumper seed gives the
most vigorous growing plant. 1t stools
out more, usually has a sitter straw,
II 1t is not forced by the use of too rank
a fertilizer, by which we mean one too
rich in nitrogen, and therefore the bet
ter the crop. But there are other things
desirable in good grain crop. One is
TO secure large heads well filed. and it
may also be desirable to have the grain
grow rapidly and mature early either
to obtain the best result in short sea-
son or to escape insect attacks. The
best way to secure this would be to Sc
lect the earliest maturing large heads to
be found and reserve them for seed.
The farmer who sows large areas may
think this too much trouble to get all
the seed he needs, but he should remem-
Der that if there is a profit in doing so
for one acre there would be a greater
profit in doing SO on a hundred. A mod
ification of this plan is to select in this
way enough to sow small plot very
thin, so that each plant will have a
chance to do its best, and then reserve
piece of the best land to SOW that on
1t to produce seed wheat. A continua-
ton of this process for a few years
would result in the production of an
extra early, hardy and prolific wheat.

POSITIONS FOR THE FIGHT.

the knee will add materially to the com
fort of the contestants.
The battle is decided by one of the
warriors knocking the potato from his
opponents fork. Topping over three
times is also counted as a defeat. If
one of the knights is obliged to let go
of his foot in order to keep his balance
it is counted as fall. Every time the
battle is interrupted in this way either
of the contestants is at liberty to
change the foot he is resting upon. If
one Of the warriors falls against the
other and upsets him it is counted
against the one who is responsible for
the tumble. You are not likely to real
ize on your first introduction to a po-
tato joust the amount of skill and prac-
tice required to really become expert
in handling the fork. A slight turn of
the wrist, quick push and the prac-
ticed knight will defeat the novice; so
deftly, so easily, that you are left yon-
dering how he did it.
Practice is the only way to learn
how he did it. One or two axioms is
all the help l can give the novice.
Move your fork as little as possible;
long, sweeping strokes are more likely
to throw off your own potato than to
interfere with that of your opponent.
The most dangerous stroke is one
from underneath; always maneuver to
keep your potato below that of your
antae eonist

1t Is beginning to dawn upon the
minds of farmers and feeders that
there is such thing as having animals
too fat for the slaughter as well as
for breeding purposes. Butchers and
marketmen have long known it, but
they made themselves safe by weigh
ing the meat before cutting off the fat,
a practice which they will probably
keep up until the customer complains
that he gets only II ounces of meat to
the pound. But he would complain
quite as badly if he had the other four
ounces in fat that none of the family
would care to eat. Then the price must
be increased if the surplus fat is to be
trimmed off before weighing. This is
one reason for the popularity Of the
baby beef that has been well fed from
birth. Having been growing while it
was fattening the fat is not all in a
layer upon the outside of the meat or
stored up around the kidneys, but the
whole flesh is tender, juicy and just
fat enough. The same thing is true in
mutton, and well-fed yearling gives
better satisfaction than the three-year-
old wether that once used to be called
the best. Even some of the judges at
fat stock shows are beginning to look
a little shy at animals with great Jumps
of fat plastered along the backbone.

these serve to highten the interest in
the great project. The site selected

on the neck OF land that runs out on

Atlantic ocean and terminates in Cape

countries, but this suggestion has been

that he was doing anything but a
service to Mr.. Paine of Boston in noti-
flying him that part of his income was

TO receive from Mr.. Paine of Boston
a few days later a reply, which was in
substance as follows:

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

stocks Quteter-COttOn Weak-G rain
Weak After EARLY Strength.
There We're not many features of in
terest in the weeks stock market.
Chiefly owing to the continued unfa-
vorable crop news from the West the
early tendency was irregularly week,
the Western roads suffering the most
Later, on reports of the practical break
ing of the drought there was a rally in
the general market, this being materi-
ally helped by more hopeful feeling
regarding the strike situation in the
steel trade. Naturally the iron stocks
improved the NEST, closing generally at
material advance from last weeks
prices. The closing is mixed but ad-
vances are in the majority. The mar
ket acted rather sluggishly all the
week, and failed to take on any decided
show of strength or activity despite
another favorable bank statement on
Saturday. There are a few stocks
scattered through the list which look
low, but most of them seem, to say
the least, to be quite as high as condi-
tons warrant
Cotton showed somewhat greater ac-
tivity, attended by material slump in
prices. The failure of July manipula-
ton to materialize caused a decline in
that month of a cent pound. Holders
of August also were dempralized, that
position losing over so points, becoming
the cheapest month. Reports of rains
in the southwest broke the new crop
months, January declining 40 points.
The close was slightly above the low
est, August, 7.18c: January, 1880.
There appears nothing in the weeks
developments to justify any such break
in the market, especially for the new
crop, as rains have been insufficient
In fact in the worst places there has
yet been no rain at all. Thereupon it
now seems reasonable to expect rally,
more particularly since the weak hold
ers of August have already been pretty
thorough ly noticed" out.
Grain speculation was again active
Early i'm the week prices advanced
sharply on reported further crop dam
age, corn going to Coo and wheat to
7Sc. The later irregular reports of
rains caused a sharp reaction, and
most of the advance was lost. Septem-
Der wheat closed a cent up at $3.50;
corn only a fraction higher at $3.50.
Further rain reports will probably
cause somewhat more decline, but the
damage irrevocably' done is certainly
enormous, and wheat especially is COM
paratively very lew. 1t looks advisable
now to buy wheat on good breaks.

A BREAD TRUST.
New $a,OOO,OOO Concern Has Ma

New $4,000, 900 Concern Has a Ma
chine That VIII Beat knuckIes.
From the New York Worl6, July q.
A bread trust is the latest thing in
the trust line. There was incorporated
in Trenton yesterday the National
Bread Company, the immediate amhi-
ton of which, according to one of its
output of New York city, Jersey City
and Newark, and eventually to control
the breadmaking industry in all the
more important cities of the United
States,
Already several of the larger city
bakeries have been absorbed by the
National, which had its beginning in
the United States Bread Company, now
erecting a plant at Nos. 362S64 West
Broadway.
The capitalization of the new com
pany is 100000, and 1t is said to
have behind 1t a number of we'll
known capitalists. At present only
$1,000 of the stock Is subscribed. There
are to be 10000 shares of stock, 10000
preferred, bearing per cent. diYi-
dends, and 10000 shares common. John
H. Strange of Orange, N. j.; John r.
Roche and Paul f. Larger of Jersey
City are the incorporates. Ex-Judge
Augustus Van Wyck is the attorney.
He refused yesterday te make any
statement
The National Bread Company aims
not only to consolidate all the large
baking firms, but ii viii use in it's man
ufaeturing a new bread baking ma
chine which Mr.. Strange said kneads
bread without handling and at the
same time increases by 90 per cent. the
weight and size of the baked loaf with
the same quantity of -four
The labor-saving problem will enter
largely into the calculations of the new
concern, it's promoters figuring that so,
900 men can be dispensed with. The
claim that by the new process a5O to
500 pounds of bread can be made out
of 1876 pounds of -four instead of 275.
as now. will be used as = strong ar
gument to force large concerns into the
combine.
The scheme of consolidation will be
for the various baking companies to
give to the National a large portion of
their stock, in return for which they
will gain the use of the patented ma
chinery which, 1t Is alleged, does away
with nearly so per cent. of the labor.
These companies will also be given ex-
elusive territory for the sale of their
make of bread.
Mr.. Strange was unable to state
just what the new machine was, ex-
cept that the dough was pounded in
stead of kneaded. He said that the
product had been tested by chemists,
who stated that the new process was
much superior to the old, and that the
days of handmade bread were over
except for small bakeries.
Mr. Strange said that branches were
to be established In all the large cities
of the country, but he did not think
the smaller bakers were to be frozen
out by larger trust methods. IT would
be the larger companies, which employ
thousands of men, which would be af-
feoted, he said.

tor, of Mo. 80 Broadway, is said to be
