Hints for Farmers.

Sod Flowing in the fall will help kill
out the white grubs.
Aeration of the soil is one great
benefit from blowing.
Haul in a good supply of dry earth
for use in the stables.
Have you a good pile of fire wood
cut, split and piled where 1t is dry and
handy?
Farming demands a mans best eff
fort. No use to try TO work any old
scheme and expect success.
Root up the old. unproductive fruit
trees and plant in their place young,
vigorous trees from the nursery.
II not, attend to II now so the WON
en- folks won't have to hunt in the
snow some morning for wood to get
breakfast.

THE RESULTS OF BOARDING.
One wall Street Firm VIII Buy Nor

New York, Nov. 23.-The demand for
a higher premium on currency by per-
sons who have been boarding has be-
come so insistent and the opportunity
to dispose of the purchases at profit
able percentage has become so meager,
that the Wall street house of thinner
man and Forshay, which has dealt in
many millions since the money string
ency began, announces that after the
close of business today it will neither
buy nor sell coin or bills. This firms
example will probably be followed by
all the money brokers in the financial
district.
The highest rate obtainable lately in
large lots has been 21s and 2A per cent
and about the best rate at which cur
rency could be bought has been "a per
cent, making the margin of profit too
small to make the business worth while,
save in large transactions
It Is estimated that since the begin
ming of the shortage, which brought
about the exaction of a. premium, the
currency sold and bought footed up
$50, 000, 000 In the beginning the money
brokers were able to command pur-
chases at from q to per cent and were
able to sell at from 21k- to, 8 per cent,
and one day at per cent. 1t is .esti-

tiers gave as a reason for their action.
The question has been referred to an
arbitration committee provided for by
agreement by the employers and the
men, but the representatives of the lat

than accept a reduction.
Mechanics in the other trades are
fearful that If the master carpenters
are successful in reducing wages, their
example will be followed by employers

BUSINESS MEN HOPEFUL.
B. F. YoaEum Says Conditions in the
West Are Satisfactory.

New York, Nov. 23.-Several railroad
presidents who have just returned to
this city from the west expressed hope
full views of the business outlook in the
west, while admitting that the disturb
ances through which the country is
passing must of necessity be reflected
in a falling off in railroad earnings.
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Rock Island
and Frisco systems, said that business
in the west was being resumed and
that business men in the states he Wis
tied were maintaining a hopeful atti-
tude. Mr.. Yoakum said:
Business is being gradually resumed.
TheMtine for talking about conditions
seems to have already passed in the
west and they are now looking for
resumption of business on normal
lines. 1 think from my observations of
business conditions in the west that the
outlook, all things considered, is Salts
factory
Frank Trumbull, president of the Col
orado Southern, said that he was hope
full regarding the conditions on his line.
The recent financial upheaval must, he
said have it's effects on all parts of
the country, but he thought that the
Colorado and Southern lines would suf-
fer as little as any road in the coun-
try The returns for the second week
in November showed increases of II per
cent in the gross earnings, and so far,
he said business on these lines was
keeping up we'll.

HARTMAN GIVES UP.
Won't Try to Gain Control of the
Santa Ee.

New York. Nov. 23.-The amount
of Atchison stock held by E. H. Harri-
man and his associates in the Union
Pacific, says the Times today, which
in the investigation before the inter-
state commerce commission last win
ter was stated to amount to about
$3O,000,00 has been reduced to about
$10,OOO,O00. This is exclusive of $1O,-
600, 900 of Atchison preferred, which
is owned directly by the Union Pa
cific which stock has been kept in
tact.
The Atchison still held by the Har-
riman interests. it is understood, rep
resents merely the personal invest
ments of the Union Pacific president
and his associates, the surplus line of
stock which had been acquired and
held in connection with the Union Pa
cific's plan to gain a voice In the
Atchison management having been
disposed of. These sales of Atchison
took place some time ago and were
not therefore, transferred on the
basis of the present low prices of Sc
curities.
The important feature of the
changes in the Atchison holdings. &C
cordiTg to- tn esTimes. is that the in
f1uence which the Union Pacific was in
a position to exert in Atchison affairs
has been greatly diminished.
