tary Stone, who said 1t was, in a large
measure the weighing department Of
n city's grain exchange that was re-
sponsible. The statement is made In
connection with the facts that 450.-
100000 bushels were handled by the
weighing department OF the Chicago
Board and that the clearances jumped
from $43,4S0.450 in 1906. to $1O6,
in 1907. "The; weighing department"
says Mr. Stone. has maintained its
reputation. not only In this market but
In the chief grain markets Of the
world. for efficiency and accuracy In
weighing grain, seeds, etc. The GER
tihcates Of weight issued by this de-
partment are unquestloned. To the
excellence of the WORK of this depart.
ment may be ascribed in large meas

grain center. "The more dramatic In

bulls" and bears" on change has
ecllpsed the equally important facts
concerning the enormous amounts OF
an established grain exchange. The
hucketshops, OF course, merely use
stolen quotations as a gambling device,
on actual purchases being made on the
floor. of any exchange, although their
advertising makes alluring mention Of
private swiresr and memberships
Because of this, the Chicago Board
has spent thousands OF dollars each

field of fifty acres to plant to oats, and
who had during the last week of March
seeded about one acre when the rains
came and put stop to further opera :
tons, says this little patch of oats is
up nicely, while the remainder of the

Work Stock in Demand.

A Bourbon farmer who is we'll post
ed in everything pertaining to the farm
tells us that nearly every farmer in
the county will be compelled to BUY
from one to three additional teams in
order to pillow their fields and plant
their crops. He said he has 240 acres
of ground to pillow and had calculated
that six teams could do the work, hbut
the consequent delay has caused him
to increase his working force 70 nine
teams, he having to pay exhorbitant
prices for work stock, which are now
higher than at any time in two years.
