CHICAGO. Sept 14-Lower prices in for eign grain markets caused liberal liquida- tion of wheat here today. resulting in de- clines of nearly cents Corn was also weak. December closing sa q i4c lower; oati down 1sc and provisions up from 21ac tS 7hc.
 1.14& d1.15A and May down Ad%c to < 91c at 1, ,17G1.17%. The principal cause for the break was the indifference of cables to the sensational advance here yesterday From the start the market was sub iected to heavy realizing sales. report that prom inent bull operator was selling freely in- duced considerable profit taking. The weak ness at Minneapolis tended to ring out in- creased offerings and before the end of the first half hour prices had dropped to q point almost 2c below last nights closing December tD 1.l4 and May to 1.16A. On a sudden spurt in corn, there was renewed purchasing of wheat, and December went up to LICK and May to 1.1sA. Small pri- mary receipts and an active cash demand aided in the upturn. During the last half hour the market weakened rapidly under heavy realizing sales, the close being at the lowest with December at IA and May at 1.16. Clearances equaled 55,2OO bushels. The visible supply. according to Brad streets. showed an increase of 2,S69,o0 bushels. Primary receipts were 99e,1O0 bushels. against 1.l76. 900 a year ago
 Weakness prevailed In corn early, owing to the failure to materialize during the night of the predicted frosts, rains over the greater portion of the corn belt having pro- tected the crop from damage. The initial decline in wheat also had a depressing in- fluenee on corn. Later in the day the mar ket suddenly turned strong. the bull factor being a Minneapolis crop experts estimate on the total yield According to this au- thorty, the Government figures should be discounted by BOO. 900, 900 bushels. The mar ket again weakened later under liberal liquidation the selling being a result or pri- vate advices claiming little damage by frost. December opened k9%c lower at 62K 95sA. sold between 52% and 541s and closed at 5Sa531s. Receipts, 50 cars. 36 contract.

Weak shorts covered freely and assisted in sending prices up on themselves, the advance being about 25 points above yesterdays closing level At the middle of the morning a reaction was caused by profit taking by longs coupled with some fresh selling by bears This reaction sent prices down about 10 points.

Virgin & Faunce'a Cotton Letter. (By Private Wire from J. Waiter Labares

NEW YORK, Sept 14-Higher Liverpool cables. cold and unsettled weather in the cotton belt and an active demand for spot cotton by spinners all contributed to the bullsh enthusiasm in the cotton market this morning and was instrumental in caus- ing an active covering movement by the short interest. which was materially n- creased by the decline last week.

 ed out, the demand from spinners could not other than have beneficial effect upon the market. They have realized that the present price for cotton is as low as i- consistent with the growing demand for cotton goods, and even with a good crop outlook. the hope for lower prices has been abandoned. We are still bullish on the flu ture outlook and think that cotton should he bought at present figures and slight reactions.

THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
How to Make the Best Wheat.

The Fidelity Loan and Trust Company of
Spartanburg has offered $50 for the largest yield
of wheat from one acre of land. This will stimu-
alte a score or more of farmers to enter the con-
tet. One of them has asked the writer how to
make fifty bushels to the acre. He seems to think
that one who takes the prize will have to make
that much or more. The answer given him will
suit all wheat growers who read The Progressive
Farmer.
Select soil with humus enough in it to keep sur
face from packing and baking after rains. There
should be sand or slick enough to make the straw
stiff. The land should be broken eight to twelve
inches deep and narrowed until the soil is we'll
pulverized. An acre of land would require about
one hundred pounds of ammonia, forty-four
pounds of potash and thirty-four pounds of phos-

WHEN TO FEED.

WHEN To FEED.
Again, l venture the assertion that not a man
among my readers who likes to eat a big meal
and Immediately do hard work; yet we feed our
horses large quantities of hay and grain and at
once put them to hard physical labor. If we
eat heartily, and then work hard Immediately af-
ter, IL not only makes us feel uncomfortable, but
may actually make us sick. 1t also does the
same for the horse. Why? Simply because if we
force an animal to do hard work with his muscles,
a larger quantity of blood must go to those mus
Giles, and, therefore, less can go to his stomach,
and Indigestion and collie follow as a natural con-
sequence if his stomach is over-full. Let me show
this to you by calling your attention to one other
point: When do our cases of collie develop? Did
you ever know a case to develop in a horse or mule
before breakfast? He may have been sick all
night; but if he remained well until morning
the case of collie did not develop before break
fast. When does collie usually occur? From
8 to II O'Clock in the forenoon, 3 to 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, or just after dark at night. Now,
after an opportunity to study and observe these
matters quite closely for the last twenty years,
/ am convinced that more farm horses and mules
die during the summer from col1c than from any
other half-dozezn diseases combined, and [ am
further convinced that ninety-nine out of every
one nunQreQ OF LnoSo cases OF COLO are Cne result
of injudicious feeding and working. In other
words, it might be prevented.
SIMPLE FEEDING RULES.
The question arises, then, how should we feed?
| cannot lay down rules that will be found &C
ceptable on every farm, for conditions vary, but [
will state the way / believe the hard-working
farm horse ought to be fed, and if this be done,
it will lesson the number of cases of collie and in
crease the efficiency of our farm work stock.
When the Woodworking horse is brought into
the stable at night, tired and worn. he should not
be given any feed for half an hour. He may then
be given all the hay he is to receive during the
twenty-four hours. An hour later he should be
given his grain. If he is to receive fifteen
pounds during the twenty-four hours, give him
seven pounds at night. If this is too much trou-
Bile, then allow the animal to eat hay for from one
half to three-quarters of an hour after being put
into the stable before feeding the grain. If
either of these plans is adopted, feed the horse
all his hay and sven pounds of grain at night,
four pounds of grain in the morning and four
pounds at noon; but if the horse is fed as soon
as put in stall, then, while [ would still feed all
the hay at night, would not feed more than one
third the grain. TAFT BUTLER,
State Veterinarian, North Carolina Department
of Agriculture, Raleigh.
