COTTON MARKET
 WEAK AT OPENING
Steadied at the Decline by Bull
 Support
TRADING WAS VERY QUIET
October Seemed to Show a Rallyne Tendency, Coming Within Two .. Points of Saturdays Finals.
 Sales Estimated at 15,ooo.

New York, September A.-The cotton market opened weak at decline of 4a16 points, following lower cables, and clear ing weather over the belt accompanied by predictions for expanding receipts backed up by more liberal estimate for the days movement. But the market was steadied at the decline by bull sup port and covering encouraged by the continued low temperatures, which were believed to be against the report tomor- row. This carried prices up little with October in particular showing a rally Ing tendency, and recovering to within couple of points of Saturdays finals, while the other options were from un- changed to points lower except Sep tember
 That option showed relative weakness during the entire session, selling no high CT than 11.SO, and as low as 11.1S, closing at 1116, the declines being due to liquid ation, apparently by the smaller longs, whose selling was accelerated by few notices that were stopped during the day by brokers supposed to represent the bull party. Trading was very quiet dur ing most of the session. and demand, af- ter the partial recovery, falling off, the bears turning slightly more aggressive and the market again developed a down ward tendency, closing steady, to points lower, that being within 1Q3 points of the lowest on the active options. Sales were estimated at 15000 bales.

The New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, La, September 21.-The spot cotton market today was very quiet and while there was a good demand the offerings were light. Factors do not ap- pear to be making any great effort to dispose of their holdings and buyers are equally indifferent. Freight room Is scarce and the unfavorable cables from Liverpool had the effect of checking op- erations. Sales 150O bales including HOO to arrive. Quotations revised; middlng reduced 1-16c and higher grades 1sc.
 Futures were steady at the opening and five to six points lower than Saturdays closing figures. Later in the day the market eased off to points additional, caused by unfavorable cables and favor able weather map not a trace of rain being shown in the belt and the forecast CT predicts fair and warmer weather. In the trading September sold down to 10.G5 and up to 10.75, October down to 9.79 and up to 9.S2, December down to 95S and up to 9.63 January down to 9.61 and up to e.67, March Gown to 9.6S and up to 974 The fluctuations were numerous and before the close the market receded four to nine points from the highest figures of the day, ,he list showing net losses of 1S points on September, 8 each on Octo- Der and November, and four to six points on the other months.

Jonathans for ENGLAND.

The finest car of apples ever sent
out of Atchison, Kan, was recently
shipped to Liverpool, England, says
the Atchison Globe. They were Jon.
athans, 160 barrels selected from
1900 barrels, and every apple pol.
ished and wrapped in oiled tissue pa
per. Every apple was perfect and
when the English people see this
Kansas product there ought to be an
exodus from that country to this
vicinity. The company gets six dol-
lars barrel for the apples on board
car at Atchison and could probably
have gotten more for another car.
Before the apples were picked an
agent of the buyer looked at them
and wanted three more cars, but Mr..
Tomlinson said he would not pack
another car in the same way for love
or money. ~ >,s..-. j.

SPRAYING CORPORATIONS.
The Senator "spluttered~ IN Hi
Speech and an Umbrella
Was Called For. 2

Senator Spooner told story the other
day, in which the late Senator Ingalls, and
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, fig
ured. Van Wyck was making one Of his
CHARACTERISTIC speeches in attacking cor
porations. He he'd peculiar style of de-
livery, and as he warmed to his subject it
was his habit to move restlessly from one
side of the chamber to the other, contin-
ually talking. He talked 90 fast that no
often "sputtered," and senator's were care
full to keep out Of range Of the moisture no
Kissed through his closely-set teeth, says
the Washington Post. 5s5
Mr.. ingalls, and Mr.. Spooner once sat
directly in front Of "Mr. Punch" as Sen.
stor Van Wyck was often called, because
of his resemblance to that noted character,
when he was delivering an impassioned ut
tesance, and an atom Of spray rested upon
the hand of the immaculate Ingalls,.
He adjusted his spectacles, carefully
inspected his soiled hand, and deliberate
ly signaled for one of the pages to cons
to him. Then in one of his famous whis-
pers. which penetrated the entire chamber,
ingalls, said:
aBoy, bring an umbrella for Senator
Spooner and q rubber overcoat for me.Y
The incident. provoked general laugh
ter, but it did not interfere with Van
Wyck's speech. He simply shifted his
position 80 as to get beyond range q.
his always faultlessly dressed and -
castle colleague. : IA

The farmers Bank Account

When does the farmer make q
profit? There are hundreds of farm
ers who have become wealthy, yet
they have handled very little money
and have had difficulty in meeting
their obligations. There is one bank
account which they do not draw
upon and the deposits accumulate
for years, which is the soil. A farm
er takes poor farm, works it, adds
manure and receives but little over
expenses, but every year his farm
has become more fertile and also in
creased in value. In ten or more
years the farm may be worth five
times the original cost, and it repre-
sents just as much profit as though
the farmer had received money. All
farms are, to a certain extent, banks
of deposit, where the profits of the
farm slowly accumulate.-Troy IN.

water for Dairy Cows.

AS result of series of experiments
conducted at the Pennsylvania expert
ment station to determine whether or
not dairy cattle could be fed to best
advantage in loose pens with con-
slant supply of water or kept in stalls
and watered at certain intervals, Prof.
Harry Haywood concludes that there
is practically no advantage in having
water constantly before the cows in
the stable. Cows turned into the yard
for water once day made as good re-
turns as those having constant access
to water in the stable. It was found it
required much more bedding to keep
the cows clean and comfortable in the
pen than in the stalls. Considerably
less labor was required to care for the
animals in the pen than in the stalls.
A smaller number of germs or bacteria
were found in the milk of those cows
kept in the stalls.

Unsafe.

A short time prior to the outbreak
of the civil war, Wendell Phillips was
travelling through the west, making
abolition speeches, says the Philadel-
phia. Ledger. On the same train
one day was pro-slavery Baptist
minister from the south, who, on
learning that Phillips was on the
train, entered his car and introduced
himself. "And you are Wendell
Phillips, I believer Yes, SIR" said
Mr.. Phillips. Engaged in saving me-
groes from slavery, eh?" eyes, sir.''
"Well, why don't you go down south
to save them?'' Mr.. Phillips replied:
"You, I believe, are minister of the
Gospel?" .sYes, sir" Engaged in
saving souls from help" "Yes.''
''Well, why don't you go there and
save them?'

How to Prevent Fsrnatie. q !. oerr

This trouble is not uncommon n

veloPing SO rapidly that Tactic acid
germs cannot grow, hence while the
milk appears sour it is perfectly sweet.
have seen this germ SO far advanced
that q can of milk would have almost
the consistency Of liver. Steam or
boiling water are the effective agents
for its destruction. Small tools such
as are used in the case at hand can be
put into some large tank or stove boil
er and boiled in water for Is minutes,
which will kill the germs. The cows
udder should be washed and wiped be-
fore each milking. If convenient set
the milk in another room for few
days and whitewash the walls. Prob
ably in nine cases out of ten the germ
finds lodgment in the seams of the tin
ware. or in the strainer. Another
fruitful source of germ trouble is the
formation of small holes from the in
side of the can or pail into hollow
space formed by using tin or iron for
Strengthening, like the bottom of the
''iron-clad" cans or pals. The putrid
stuff herein formed works back into
the dish when hot water is applied,
and of course remains there. A drop
will contaminate canful of milk. It
may not be out of place to repeat q few
simple principles that underlie pure
milk. They do not fail. Cases are rare
that cows give bad milk if fed the usu-
al foods. Warm milk is an ideal
medium for the development of germ
life at the normal temperature and
down to 70 degrees. The germs that
do mischief are ever present, hence
milk should be taken away from the
stable and cooled to 60 degrees or I'M
der at once. If the germs get in, a low
temperature retards their growth,
and their effect is not noticed. Always
use steam or boiling water in daily
cleansing. In case of severe trouble
boil the tools, etc., for several minutes.

Effective Dairy 1n1tructiion.

A novel method of dairy instruction,
which has been very successfully car
ried out the past two summers in Cape
Breton and Nova Scotia, is that of a
travelling dairy, combining lectures
and actual practice with modern, up
to-date apparatus properly used. Miss
Laura Rose conducted this travelling
dairy school and during the past sea-
son held III meetings, addressing over
5000 people, travelling 723 miles, test
ing $40 samples of milk, and making
9o3 pounds of butter. Three counties
were covered this year, in addition to
four last season in Cape Breton. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Chapman says
the work will continue till every coun-
ty is reached. This is a great contrast
to the remarkable Indifference shown
by many of the states in our common
wealth which boasts such progress.

Hint for Ansora Breeders.

Most goat men prefer the long
broad ears that hang down straight;
but there are many excellent Angora
goats with the small pinch ears, or
as they are sometimes called,
quinch ears. These small ears are
so small sometimes that it is impos.
sible to earmark such goats. It is
a well-known fact that those small
cared goats are in nearly all cases
extra heavy shearers, and their
feeces always very fine and lustroas
of long staple and very silky.-H. F.
Fuchs, in Farmers Voice.
