cassidy's and Grav's Market Letter


WHEAT-A little selling took place
early on the record breaking Argen-
tine shipments and on declines in con-
tinental markets, although Liverpool
was strong; but little wheat was for
sale. and prices worked up on COM
mission buying and shorts covering.
The most bullish feature, however,
was an advance Of 1Mc per bushel In
Winnipeg that reflected heavy buying
Of seed wheat by the government for
the farmers in the northwest territory.
Minneapolis was weak and aside from
Russia buying durum wheat of Lon
don, there were no reports of export
business on this side that we could
learn Of. Commission houses contin-
ued to absorb May and July all
through the session, with the closing
strong enough to suggest decided
bull turn. While this may materialzs
we would favor the acceptance Of
profits on sharp upturns.
CORN-Liverpool was firm and
higher and as sentiment here was
bullish, prices worked up easily, the
strength in wheat also being of as
sistance. Sample lots were un-
changed. with a good demand for dry
corn. There was some profit taking
sales around 81 cents for May, but
local shorts covered and there was
good buying by the Patten house, also
some through brokers that looked like
Armour. We regard the situation as
very strong one.
OATS-Sample lots 1sc higher early,
later unchanged. There was some SELL
ing of May by cash houses, but the
Patten concern were leading buyers,
the market displaying very strong
tone and 1t was noticeable that pri-
mary shipments We're almost equal to
receipts
PROFESSIONALISM were cain in
tremendous supply through the west,
which brought about hedging Gales by
the packers, especially the big con-
Germs. There was some buying orders
for May and July product largely for
pork, due to strength in wheat and
corn, but the market closed heavy and
looks lower, with 10000 hogs here to-
morrow, and $4,000 estimated for
Monday, and 215,000 next week.

Chicago, Feb. THE market is
wabbly for inferior offerings, as re-
ceipts are too liberal to hold values on
steady basis for aged and blemished
classes. Country orders are fairly lib
oral, but not of proportions to move

by the decline in prices since last Oc-

tho narrow demand from the principal
sources which furnish an outlet for
the multitude of horses that are con-
signed to Chicago for distribution to

Glover and Timothy.

The Missouri station has conducted
very careful experiments In steer feed
ing. using different kinds of roughage.
These experiments show that, as an
average result, a bushel Of corn with
Timothy hay produced 4.93 pounds Of
grain, while the same amount Of corn
with clover hay produced 6.58 pounds.
Rating the gain at the low price Of five
cents per pound, the feeder gets some
thing more than eight cents per bushel
for his corn when he feeds it with
clover than when he feeds it with
timothy. Put the hay away having In
mind to feed the clover to the steers
and to all growing and all mllch ami
mails, and to sell the timothy. Good
real good-clover hay is as good for
work horses as timothy. If you don't
believe it, try 1t out. But the clover
must be cut early enough-when the
heads have just become real red-and
handled without much rain or dew,
and not be overcured-that means the
use of the best haying machinery. In
cidentally, the use of the best haylng
means hay at less cost for
the making-Weekly Witness.

an elliptical orbit about the earth) the
smaller is the apparent size of her di-
ameter to us, and hence the lessened
amount of the suns surface she will
cover.
The same conditions prevail as re-
CARDS the earth's position in her orbit
about the sun, for in her elliptical
course about him she also has a near
point (perihelion) and distance point
(aphelion) and the nearer the earth
is to the sun the larger will his disk ap-
pear to us; so that If the earth is in
perihelion and the moon is in apogee,
no total eclipse is possible; but an an
nular one may prevail If the centers of
each of the three bodies, earth, moon
and sun, are on one and the same
straight line connecting them.

THE OLD PLAYHOUSE.

/ know a place where the sunlight falls,
Whether in frost or whether In shine,
Day and night on the pictured walls,
That ne'er have changed at the touch
of time.
Tho you might search for the. spot in
vain
(The key Of the castle belongs to me)-
Some happy days | can find again
My playhouse under the apple tree.
The mansion old, in its cloak of gray,
Orept out Of sight to make way for
trade;
Gone are its walls and the garden gay,
Where vi'ets grew with the lark spur
staid.
They say that the orchard, too, is gone,
And naught remains that l used to
see
But l visit still, tween the eve and dawn,
Ny playhouse under the apple tree.
They say the friends that my childhood
knew
Are men, grave-browed, and are women,
sad;
But l meet them there as used to do,
Each merry girl and each sturdy lad.
Little we know of each others lack,
Whom Fame hath honored and whom
left free.
The years are forgotten as we troop back
Into the playhouse beneath the tree

WHEN THE MOON OBSCURFS THE sun.

The moon, coursing in its orbit about
the earth, cuts off the rays of sunlight
from a part of the earth's surface,
making long, marrow, conelike, deep
shadow (see illustration between U and
u, which the earth intercepts In her
orbital course about the sun. This dark
shadow is called the "umbra," and it
marks the "totap'-or in this case FAN
nular"-pathway of the eclipse. The
part In the diagram marked U and U
(of lighter shadlng) is called "the
penumbra," or "almOst shade" where
not all the rays Of light from the sun
are cut off.
The name "annular" Is given to the
variety Of eclipse where the suns disk
is nearly but not entirely covered or
hidden from us; there remains a mar
row ring" of bright sunlight all
around the dark body Of the moon as
1t covers over the disk Of the sun. All
eclipses Of the sun are caused by the
moons coming between the earth and
the sun, and this results in either a
partial eclipse, an annular eclipse, or
a total eclipse Of this body.

sag and loop it is no longer attractive,
nor Is it sure means Of keeping
stock within bounds. Many devices
have been suggested and even patented
for stretching wire, but here is a
simple little contrivance that anyone
can make In a few minutes that will
do the work quickly and well. For
short spans it can be made of wood,
although for heavy wires or for long
stretches it would be better to make it
out Of iron. This little contrivance Is
about two feet long, with two pins
about three inches apart at one end.
Place the wire between these pins and
turn the stretcher around until the
wire Is drawn tight. By engaging the
pin at the other end of the stretcher
the tension can be maintained while
the wire is being nailed fast. With
an arrangement of this sort one man
can do rapid work alone and fix up a
agging fence in short order.
