 The future market opened barely steady with the active months showinng an ad- vance of points over the close of Sat urday.

Following the un- successful efforts of local operators caught long, ir an anticipation of a much more bullish report than that issued, the mar ket eased off and there was a general recession in values. The drop was aug mented by reports of rain in those sec tions of Texas suffering from drouth and at the close, which was steady, the active months were IS points below Sat urday's colse.

When the spring opeps there is temp

and smooth the surface for the mower, il

ever and in many different forms. Very

THE FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY
Short Pnngant Paragraphs Gathered Here
and there

!
Unclean seed has more to do with the
distribution of weeds than all other causes
combined. These are brought upon our
! farms from garden and field seeds from
foreign countries. Russian faxseed is re-
sponsible for the introduction of the Rus
sian thistle, which first appeared upon a
single farm, and now covers over 10000
square miles in the United States. Alfalfa,
beet, turnip and other field and garden
seeds imported from Europe, are the
potent cause OF the contamination of our
lands with farm weeds. Nor are the farm
ers Of this country at all particular in
saving their seeds, fields containing weeds
often be ng set aside for seed crop, in
sur NJ the foulest seeds in many cases.
And then, in the purchase of seeds, the
farmer is not careful to buy pure seed
only, but plants whatever some dealers
fer him. Until these methods are done
away with We must expect to have new,
pernicious weeds constantly appearing
among our crops.
1t should be unnecessary to caution
farmers against leaving manure in heaps
in the field, especially when wintry
weather may prevent its spreading. 1t is
lar the safest to spread it from wagon,
u ing manure spreader.
Bees begin to work as soon as the
weather permits in the spring. The first
plants upon which they work are the
skunk cabbage and yellow willow, fol-
lowed by the blossoms OF fruit trees, hard
maple, white clover, small fruits, bass
aood, sumac, goldenrod. astor, Spanish
needle, smartwood, etc. Should the for
age be scarce, bees will use the blossoms
of weeds, which are not suitable for pro-

silk Braids and Ribbons

Silk braids and ribbons are important
parts OF the garnitures of gowns and

obtained by taking advantage of the pos
sibilities for easily accomplished decora-
ton that belong to these trimmings
Sashes, belts, bodices and bretelles are
quickly and prettily concocted with vel

Fur Sets and Fur Trimmings

Fur trimmings ornament some OF the
prettiest scarfs of chiffon, but fur makes
its appearance everywhere. There is no
better Investment than good fur, especi-
ally in the hanging furs for the season,
where each separate pet is distinctly Wis
ibIe and could at any time be transferred
to other uses. January sales offer oppor-
tunities for securing high grade furs at
prices that appeal 10 clever purchasers.
G. c. Shayne, as matter OF precedent,
makes substantial reductions throughout
their stock after January first and one
can rely on anything obtained from this
old established fur house as being made
up in the finest manner, and built of fine
skins, since no trash is ever allowed to be
sold in this establishment.
