McKINLEY'S
!. TRIP TO END.

Washington, D. c., May ia
telegram has been received here
from a member OF President Mckin-
ley's party, now at San Francisco,
saying that owing to Mrs. Mckin-
ley's illness the trip will be aban-
doned at San Francisco and that
the president and Mrs. Mckinley
will soon leave Tor Canton, while the
rest Of the party will return to
Washington.
The closing of the President 8
trip at San Francisco causes no
surprise 10 Washington. especially
among those who saw Mrs. Mckin-
lev When she left here. She did not
then seem to be as strong as usual
and her ability to endure the long
and trying journey was seriously
doubted. .rE
Mrs. McKinley's health has visi-
bly, failed during the laat six months
A lady who has known her Tor 70
years, said today:
1.-The TACT that Mrs. Mckinley
has borne up this far against the
fatigue incident to her position ls
the result OF the most assiduous at.
tention ON the part of President
McKinl y, He has wonderful in-
Huence upon her. With few strokes
of his hand he can subdue her most
violent attacks of headache. With
cheering words he can rouse her
quickly from condition of almost
utter collapse. His support OF his
wife during her affection is one OF
the most touching cases Of person
al devotion, aud one Of he most
significant examples ofthe power of
animal magnetism on record.
Mrs. Mckinley has never been
herself since President Mckinley
was attacked by the griplast Janu
nary. Her anxiety. although she
was not permitted to spend her
strength In nursing him. wore her
out, and since his recovery Presi-
dent Mckinley has not enjoyed to
the full degree his usual robust
health and spirits. Her collapse
during the trying inaugural season
and now on this trips more to be
attributed TO this debilitated nerve
force ofthe President than loss OF
her own strength.
Secretary Cortelyou at noon gave
out the following bulletin as toMrs.
Mckinley s conditions: Mrs, Nc
Knley rested well during the night
and this morning was quite as com.
Portable as her ply sicians expected
her to be.
There is strong probability Of
President Mckinley abandoning
hisproposed trip into The Norlhw est.
Unless there is a radical change
for the better in Mrs. Mckinley s
condition the Presidential party
will leave for Washington soon at
ter the celebrations in this section
are over. Mr.. Mckinley is very
much worried over the condition oil
his wife, and it is even possible that
many ofthe functions arranged in
his honor for this week may be
postponed or abandoned.
President Mckinley went to San
Jose this afternoon. remaining there
only two hours, after which he re,

Current Comment.

PoTATos.- Receipts have been pretty full
again this week but the country roads are
now in such bad condition that light arriv-
ais are expected for the next week or 30,
and there is frmer feeling in consequence.
At the close best Aroostook Green Noun
tains are in steady demand at 70 to 73c,
and best Hebrons ire bringing 65 to CSC.
York State and western round white steady
at 90 to 55c.
FLoUR.-There has been an easier tone to
the market the past week, and prices show
a considerable decline at the close. Buyers
show no desire t. purchase beyond meeting
their actual needs, however, and this makes
business drag. Some leading 1ours have
cut prices down to 81 for spring patents,
which has depressing effect on quota
tions. About $50 to 10 will cover the
sales of most Of the better brands OF spring
patents made, although some special brands
are held above these figures. 1t is hard
work to enthuse the trade on an advancing
or a declining market, there being an en-
tire absence OF any speculative feeling.
Winter patents are slow Of sale at about
$3.50 to for New York and Michigan, with
Ohio and Illinois at S385 to 4 10. Clear
and straight winters are slow at $3.50 and
$50 as to quality.
HAY AND STRAw-Trade has ruled quiet
and receipts liberal, although not so heavy
as a week ago. Prices are Id about the
same, but values on lower grades rather
more favor the buyer. The receipts for the
week include 81 cars for export and 254 cars
for local use. Best hay is quotable at SIS
to 10 while the range on lower grades is
S14 to II as to quality. Rye straw is quiet,
with sales making at about eli to IS for
choice. Dat straw Is dull, with p.ices nom
inal.
BEANS. - Receipts have been moderate
and there has been further slight improve
ment in the market for white beans since
our last report At the close best domestic
marrow peas are generally held al 81 10.
Demand is not very active, however, and it
takes very choice stock to bring full quota
tons. Yellow eyes are steady. Red kid
neys quiet.
WooL.-The smaller mills have been buy
ing with some freedom this week, and
though trade seems quiet as compared with
the week that went before, il is distinctly
above the average of 1900. The bargain
hunter has been present and among the
the sales there still figures proportion of
damaged goods, furnishing a significant
comment on the overloaded condition Of
the market at the beginning of the year.

Frequency of Cultivation.

The frequency of cultivation must
vary with variety of circumstances.
1t must be repeated as often as new
crop of weeds starts. 1t will usually be
true also that the field will need going
over as soon after rains as the soil will
permit, provided the rain has been
heavy enough to destroy the mulch. In
the early part of the season it will gen.
orally pay to cultivate az often as once
per week, because while the soil is wet,
frequent GUILTY. alton not only saves
moisture, but it hastens the develop
ment of nitrates in the soil from
which the crop must derive its nitrogen
supply.
When the season is dry and a we'll
developed dry mulch two or three III
ches deep has been formed, there will
be little gained by cultivating, if the
field is free from weeds. On the other
hand, if in such time the dry portion
of the mulch is not more than l 10 u
inches deep it may be made enough
more efficient to pay for another cult
walton. 1t must be remembered that
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-04-17

mulches tend to become less and less
effective by standing, the moisture
creeping upward through the soil, caus-
ing it to draw together and become
more compact.
There is often another reason for 60
ing over the field with the cultivator,
even when good mulch exists and
there are no weeds. The evaporation
of water from the soil results in con-
centrating right at the surface the SOL
uble salts held in the soil water and as
the nitrates form most rapidly near
the surface, these are especially liable
to gather there where they are entirely
out of reach of the roots. But to go over
the field with the cultivator, stirring
the soil to depth of 3 inches, will
throw much of this most valuable
plant food down where it can again be
dissolved by the soil water and the
roots thus secure it. 1t is because of
this need that the very shallow cultiva-
ton is not as effective as that inches
deep is likely to be.
Most farmers are familiar with the
fact that after the middle of July corn
roots throw up short fingers into the
top soil, reaching almost to the surface.
This is to take advantage of the nj
trates and other soluble salts, which
are concentrated there by capillary.
The dews of night and the light sum-
mer showers dissolve these salts and
then the roots are able to procure them.
To cultivate the field after this condi-
ton has developed will destroy these
roots and thus prevent the crop from
utilizing the plant food concentrated in
this way.--Prof F. Fl. King in N. E.
Homestead.

Value Of Poultry Manure.

My experience with poultry manure
as a garden fertilizer leads me to value
1t very highly, and to endorse what
The Fam Journal says about it in one
of its last Issues:
Poultry manure c. ntains more Of
the heterogeneous element in an avail
able form than any other yard manure
and for this reason is especially suited
to stimulate plant growth. Its value,
of course, depends largely on the way
it has been handled and kept. An av-
erage sample of well preserved poultry
droppings, slightly mixed with siited
coal ashes, dry muck or other absor-
bents, and moist, but not wet, will be
worth. 81 10 SO ton. Clear, dry, pull
verified droppings would have much
higher value. On The other hand,
most Of our poultry writers are prone
to exaggerate. its value and effective
ness. We are not afraid to spread it
on the vegetable and small fruit garden
pretty thickly as top dressing, often
usings.all the manure produced by a
hundredsfowls during fall and winter
on less than one-fourth of an acre.
Such application has telling effect"
believe that the last statement has
also repeatedly come from my own
pen. 1 usually keep on an average
aboutss oneih hundred fowls-more in
summer, Hess, perhaps, in winter; but
am in the habit OF using all the ma
nure that comes from the poultry house
on a spot of scarcely more than quar-.
ter acre, and this year after year, the
spot being used mostly for the produc-
ton of close planted vegetables-let-
tuce, celery, onions, beets, carrots, etc.
Besides the poultry droppings, however,
also use plenty of other manures, both
chemical and domestic, on the same
spot.-(T. Grenier, in Practical Farm

AGRICULTURAL.
Government Seed Distribution,

Under the pretence of fostering agri-
culture, the national and State govern
ments waste incredible sums of money
from the Taxpayers. Possibly the most
outrageous of these expenditures is the
seed distribution of the national gov
eminent.
The excuse is that new and i'm
proved varieties may be widely extend
ed. Our wide awake seedsmen get
novelties long before the government
officials get them. There is nothing in
this plea. OF the hundreds of thousands
Of dollars that have been spent in this
way in recent years il would be difficult
to name single item in which they
have been ahead OF the trade. At any
rate, II government be justified in
''improving" agriculture in this gener-
GUS way, it would be still more justified
in distributing "improved" breeds of
fowl, swine, horses and cattle. If we
must have free seeds, let there be gov
eminent stock raising farms and free
distribution of the breeds. As factor
in politics, the stock distribution would
beat the seed packages clean out of
Saskatchewan Monthly.
