who follows his shipments to sale may
be enlightened, and from which mar
ket quotations may be made that will
be of aid to those that have sheep to
sell.
With respect to control of receipts
so that violent fluctuations in prices
do not occur within very short space
of time. the Chicago market has great
ly improved during the last 20 years.
Until the sheepmen of the west be-
came fully recognized as specialists in
mutton production. treacherous and
violent fluctuations were matters of al
most daily occurrence. There are rec
ords of declines of SO cents per hun.
dredweight in prices within an hour.
The large western shipper was obliged
to forestall such ruinous conditions.
This was done by establishing feeding
stations on the railway lines tributary
to Chicago from the west. Most OF
these are owned and controlled by the
railroad companies. although few are
owned by private parties. The large
shipper consigns his sheep to some
one of these feeding stations, and then
awaits the advice of his commission
firm as to the number OF sheep and
the time he shall send them to market
A shipment of say 10000 sheep is thus
| distributed over period OF a week or
ten days, instead of all being dumped
on the market on the same day. Since
from 65 to 10 per cent. of the sheep
reaching the Chicago market are con.
signed first to the feeding stations. 1t
can readily be seen how much they
aid in preventing market Cutting.
The record run OF sheep on the Chi.
cago market for one day is little less
than 10000. and a run of 10000 is con.
sidered very heavy, but were it not for
the feeding stations 1t Is claimed that
there would frequently be days when
the run would be from $4,000 to 100.

Foreign Crop conditions.-T

wardness of spring blowing and SOW

versal characteristic of current reports
concerning the growing crops In Eu-
rope. The long and rather severe win
ter continued well into March. The
first half of the month was character
lied by snowfalls in all but the most
southern parts of the continent, and
II was not until practically the middle
of the month that the snow cover dis
appeared. The success with which the
autumn-sown crops survived the WIN
ter Is still a matter of speculation and
OF widely divergent views. It seems
reasonably clear that in the western
countries the crops wintered unusually
well. There has been. 1t is true. con-
siderable fear that the alienation Of
frost and thaw in France two months
ago will necessitate more or less re-
sowing, but even there losses have
been by no means abnormal. while in
Great Britain the outlook for wheat is
exceptionally bright. In central Eu-
rope the prospects of the winter crops
are not satisfactory. Severe weather

only delayed spring blowing and seed

one of those who have unconventional
but effective ways of doing things.
This is shown by his personal achieve

trusts, raising the cruiser Yankee,
backing the government down on a
proposition to raise the Maine, he has
done other things of note. His views
upon the subject Of helping young
men are well worth reproducing, and
we give them here:
