Western Operators and Others Still

Scores Gain of a Point

NEW YORK, July 31.-The tendency
of the stock market toward smaller
dealings and narrower fluctuations was
even more pronounced than yesterday.
, The total sales were nearly 100000
shares less than yesterday, the decrease
resulting chiefly from a falling off in
the dealings in the usually active stocks.
The opening of the stock market was
. strong, influenced to an extent by slight
ly higher quotations for American stocks
/. in London. But that condition did not
last long. The Western contingent and
/ its following. as we'll as local profess
sional operators. were apparently still
intent upon taking profits, certainly in
some stocks, notably Atchison common,
st. Paul. Union Pacific, Southern Rail-
way. and Illinois Central. The selling
of the last named was most effective,
and depressed the price for it more than
points.

Rumor of New Control.

This movement was accompanied by
rumors, which, of course, were denied,
that the control of the st. Louis and
San Francisco Company has been secur-
ed by the interests that control the
Southern Railway Company. A reason
for the suggested acquisition is found
in the fact that the San Francisco Com
pany. through its control of the Kansas
City, Fort Scott and Memphis Company.
and allied roads, has line extending TO
birmingham, Ala, large part of which
is in the territory of the southern Rail-
way Company. and also in that of the
Louisville and Nashville. Both of these
companies, as is well known, are con-
trolled by the same interest
If 1t is true that the st. Louis and
San Francisco, which has now acquired
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road.
has become member of the federation
OF railroads operating in the Southern
States. that combination has secured
not only important lines to Chicago.
including the Chicago, Indianapolis and
Louisville, but an important system in
the Southwest which will facilitate the
exchange of products between the east
ern and western Southern States.

Recent Leaders Neglected.

All of the recent leaders of the rail-
way list, except Missouri Pacific and
Atchison common, were comparatively
neglected. The first named was second
only to Southern Railway in respect to
activity. The market for it was ex-
ceedingly erratic, being alternately
strong and weak. There was a revival
of interest in Norfolk and Western and
Chesapeake and Ohio. 1t seems prob
able that both of these stocks have been
taken in hand from time to time because
of the material reduction in the floating
supply of them, caused by the heavy
purchases of both by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
AT the moment Norfolk and Western
appears the more attractive. because
the company is enjoying immunity from
labor troubles at its mines. At a frac-
tional reaction from the best price Nor
folk and Western enjoyed a net gain of
Yearly a point, while Chesapeake and
Ohio lost nearly all of its early i'm
proyement.

Favorable to Southern.

To what extent these alliances will af-
feet the Illinois Central Company it is
impossible to forecast. That they are
regarded as favorable to the Southern
Railway Company was indicated by the
unusual activity in its common stock
today at a steady though not material
advance in price. In the early dealings
there was further sharp advance in
San Francisco common to s5ia, but pro-
fit taking wiped out all of the improve
ment and left the stock fractionally
lower.
The guaranteed stock OF it's leased
line, Kansas City, Fort Scott and Mem
phis preferred, also advanced material
ly on unusually large transactions and
retained the greater part of its maxi
mum improvement. The upward move
ment in Chicago and Eastern Illinois
halted, but there was a further advance
in Evansville and Terre Haute on the
idea that the road of that company will
be utilized in completing the San Fran
cisco Eastern Illinois system.
In sympathy with these movements
Kansas City and Southern issues were
more active, at advancing prices.

yhed II. Rankin says: DO not at
tach undue Importance to popular
strains that happen to be fashionable,
or to fancy as to color Of hair, ETC.,
provided that you do not get outside
the color of the breed. But I would
emphasize the giving OF special regard
to yigor of constitution, robustness,
and capacity for digestion and assimi-
lation. Some OF our more observant
breeders are coming to think that In
some OF our breeds OF swine, the pro-
cess Of refining the bone and tighten
ing the framework has been carried
very near to the danger line, and the
time has come to emphatically call
halt in that direction. Too little atten-
ton is being given to securing sturdy
straight limbs and strong upright feet,
whereby the pig is able to stand
squarely and steadily on its feet.
Among the Objectionable features to
be guarded against are the long, slen-
der, pipestem legs ending in slim, I'M
certain ankles and weak feet, together
with failure to carry the meat OF the
ham full and well down toward the
hook. The strong arched back, the well
sprung rib, the full heart girt, the
broad shoulders, the deep ham, the
strong underpinning, the strong,
shapely foot-these are among the
more vital points to be observed In
the building up OF good and thor
oughly useful herd of hogs. These are
the points chiefly sought after by In
telligent farmers and breeders. An at
tempt at the combination Of as many
of these good points as possible in the
shaping of the farm herd is good
thing.

Fred H. Rankin: If it had not been
for the cannibalism of some of tho
people of this and some European
countries, who persist in eating raw
pork, we probably would never have
heard Of trichinae outside of the lab
oratory of the chemist or the lecture
room OF the scientist. How can you
protect man-even with microscopic
inspection-w will go and deliber-
ately eat raw pork, needless Of its con-
dition and in direct opposition to every
dictate Of reason and every decree OF
civilization? We claim superiority
over the Fill Islanders. forgetful that
we have cannibals in our own midst
who eat raw pork of every conceiv-
able age and quality and then express
holy horror at the Fiji man eating
raw missionaries" A mere observ-
ance Of the most primitive laws Of CIV
ilized life which demand that we make
distinction between the cannibal and
civilized man and cook our meat food,
would be the surest safeguards for the
future of our American pork in the
provision markets of the world.

Utilizing Free Seed.

Dispatches from Southern Missouri
state that hundreds of farmers in the
Ozark hills of Missouri and Northern
Arkansas, who suffered severely by
last summers drouth, have been re-
duced to very short rations this win
ter and in some cases have lacked ne
cessities. They are of proud, indie
pendent spirit, however, and have re-
fused all offers of assistance until now,
the planting season being at hand,
they are willing to accept seed which
the ,overnor of Arkansas has secured
with money borrowed by him from the
banks. The situation is being inves-
tigated by a representative of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Charities at the
request of Governor Dockery. who has
proposed that the Missouri allegation
in Congress apply the seed, which they
are authorized to dispense under the
free seed distribution allowed con-
gresham. to the relief Of these unfor-
tunate farmers.

Keep the ridge. Covered.

Some OF the best farm land in tn,
country has been rendered OF no value
by being allowed to get into a con.
dition In which the rains can wash
the soil away and leave the subsoil OIL
the hillsides ridged and quilted. Al
the Wisconsin roundup institute Q. p
Goodrich related a little farm history
that strlkingly bears out this assertion
He said that when he was a boy be
lived on his fathers farm In New
York state. The land was worth at
the time OF his leaving 1t $125 per acre.
That was about fifty years ago. The
soil was productive and the farm a
Dloncy-maker. lie land was rolling.
The ridges were kept In grass and
gave good pasturage, when they were
not cut for hay. There was another
farm not far away on which ne some
times worked.
Recently Mr.. Goodrich visited the old
home farm Of his boyhood. He found
II In most dilapldated and rundown
condition. The men that had been liv-
Ing on IL had devoted 1t mainly to
grain growing year after year. They
had kept the ridges plowed up, till
they got so bad they could net be
plowed. The rains year after year had
washed the soil from the ridges and
had carved out deep gullies. often not
more than two rods apart, and so deep
they could be neither plowed over nor
filled up. In time the men that owned
the farm had abandoned all the ridged
part to Canada thistles and other
weeds, and even these were stunted in
growth. The land is now worth hard
ly more than SIS per acre.
Mr. Goodrich visited the farm on
which he used to sometimes work. He
found 1t In high state OF fertility and
productiyeness. The owner said that
he had been offered $3.50 per acre for 1t,
but had refused the offer He had
farmed that land successfully. He had
not robbed the soil and then stripped
1t Of its sod and left it to the mercy
OF the elements. He had kept the
ridges covered with good mantle OF
verdure. This had held the soil from
being washed away when the rains
came. Once in awhile the sod on the
hillsides had been broken for a single
year, when II had been put into some
crop that would rotate we'll with grass.
Thea II had been seeded down to grass
again.
Where 1t is possible for ridges to be-
come quilted they should be kept COW
cred If they are not suitable for
meadow land. they should be put and
kept in pasture. If they are not even
ut for that they should be allowed to
grow up into thickets or even have
trees planted on them. The roots will
then act as soil binders.

Strong bone and lean meat are es-
sential to hardy race of swine, as has
been shown by the Investigations car
ried on by our experiment stations.
Those same investigations have shown
that corn as a swine food has limita-
lions. 1t is the proper food for fatten-
ing swine, but it is not the best food
for building the frame that is to carry
the fat For the development of the
frame clover is one of the cheapest
and best foods. Grass is good where
clover cannot be obtained. These two
may be fed as pasture, and their har-
vesting and subsequent handling is
thus avoided. Milk is great frame
builder. Roots play minor part in
the ration, but can be fed to advantage
with other feeds. The eaters of ork
naturally prefer pork made in this
way to that made by feeding whole
corn ration. When the fattening time
approaches the feed should be changed
gradually from the kind we have men
toned to whole corn.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find II
Contains Alum and Rock, Declare 1t
Dangerous to Health and Dump
1t Into the River.


The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tozs Of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in
Sixth ave. department store The re-
port Of the analysis of the Health
Department stated that it was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder Is
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stuff
and cast it into the river without any
discussion. The latter way is certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at low price ten to
twenty cents pound, or with some
prize, as temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high grade baking
powder of established name and
reputation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as "just
as good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS max
ers, and is selling an alum powder
without knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right
and not be induced to risk the life o.
the family for an imaginary saving OF
a few cents.

A. c. True says: At the Indiana
Station the conclusion has been
reached that not only can larger crops
be secured, but that the fertility OF the
soil can be better improved by judi
| cious rotations. A comparison OF con-
| tinuous grain growing with the rota-
ton OF grain with grass and clover
showed a gain by the latter method of
bushels OF corn. bushels of oats,
and 6 bushels OF wheat per acre. The
average percentages OF gain were for
corn 22 per cent, oats 26 per cent. and
wheat A per cent. In such systems of
farming as sugar production in the
South and wheat production in the
Northwest. condition has been
reached. even upon land originally q
great fertility. where a system OF ro-
tation must be employed. In Louisl-
ana the growing of leguminous crop,
like the cowpea, has become a neces-
sity with the sugar planter. The
North Dakota Station has taken up
the study of suitable rotation for
the wheat farm. Experiments carried

1t Is thus seen that the difference In
favor OF the south and east sides OF a
tree is quite pronounced, amounting to
three-tenths Of pound. Similar trials
comparing north and south tapping
made in 1899 and 1900 also give re-
suits that favor the south side.

tionably true that south exposure

review of the figures also calls at
tcntioD to remarkable difference be-
tween trees. Number 4, from which
the greatest yield of the richest sap
was obtained, was a large vigorous
tree standing in the open. AS is we'll
known such trees give large amounts
OF rich sap. This is due to the in
creased leaf area and full exposure to
sunlight The green | ayes IN sun
light during the summer season make
starch from materials gathered from
air and soil. This starch is stored
throughout the tree and is the source
OF sugar in the spring. Sunlight, ex-
posure and leaf area are therefore i'm
portant factors in maple sugar pro-
duction. The percentage Of sugar in
sap from different sides of the same
tree is found to way but slightly.

John w. Lloyd in a circular of the
Illinois Agricultural College, says:
The bush fruits require careful atten-
ton to pruning, If the best results are
to be secured. Proper pruning insures
stocky growth of the canes, so that
they will hold up their fruit, thins the
fruit so that the individual specimens
VIII grow larger, and reduces the size
OF the top in proportion to the roots,
thus insuring q vigorous growth OF
new wood. The best pruning for black
berries, black raspberries, and the
strong growing varieties of red rasp-
berries (such as the Cuthbert) con-
sists of four distinct operations: Cd
Nipping off the tips of the growing
shoots in summer when they have
reached the height of one and a half
or two feet, thus causing them to
throw out strong laterals; (2) remov-
ing superhuous shoots. so that only
three to five remain in each hill; (3)
cutting back the laterals to from
IL to 20 inches the next spring;
(D removing the old canes after they
have produced their crop. The annual
pruning of currants and gooseberries
may be all accomplished at one opera
ton. which Is usually performed early
In the spring. 1t consists in removing
such of the old canes as have passed
their most useful period, and all of the
one-year-old canes except such as are
needed to renew the bush where older
canes are removed; and of thinning
out and shortening back the new wood |
on the old canes that remain. Cur |
rant worms, gooseberry mildew. straw

are the enemies most likely to cause |
damage to the small fruit plantation. |
They can be controlled by the timely
application of the proper spraying ma
terials, and the practice of other sani-
tary precautions, such as the burning
over of the strawberry bed after har-
gesting the crop.
