Financial and Commercial

r. d. Lackey & Co., stated to-day:
Sentiment Is more optimistic over the
financial situation than has been I'm the
case for some time past. The demand by
influential interests for the metal shares,
especially Steel and Copper, Is inducing
the public In general to come into the
market, but after stocks have advanced
several weeks It Is no more than natural
TO expect somewhat of a recession. II
Is believed, however, In well informed cir
cles that the upward movement I'm the
market has only just started and be-
fore long all classes OF securities will be
selling much higher"
G. I. Hudson and Co. stated at noon
New high prices were reached by stocks
this morning there being apparently no
uneasiness over the forthcoming Supreme
Court session at midday u. S. Steel led
and the entire active list moved u@ We
think the rise has gone for enough for the
present, and that we are apt to meet a
good deal OF long stock from now on.
Probably specialties, notably new ones,
will be in more favor from now on. But
Il IS just as we'll to leave those stocks
alone. which have had the sharpest adj
vance. Wait for a substantial setback
before buying high-priced shares"

rectangular mesh is preferred to the
diamond shaped mesh. These racks
are usually made about three feet wide
at the top and about IL inches wide at
the bottom. They can be made
Of any desired length up to 16 feet,
depending upon the number of hogs in
the pen. They are also light in
weight and can be moved from one
part of the yard to another without
difficulty.

FEEDING RACK FOR ALFALFA

A large number Of successful farm
ers feed alfalfa hay on the ground,
claiming that hogc are almost GER
tain to pull the hay out of racks and
eat it from the ground more or less
anyway. In cold weather when the
ground is frozen or when the yard
ie dry. there would seem to be no seri-
GUS objection to feeding alfalfa in this
manner. Hogs are less delicate in
their choice Of food than other farm
animals and are inclined to eat the
hay though It has been somewhat
soiled. If, however, the ground is
soft there is certain to be consider
able waste, due to the fact that some
of it is trampled into the mud.
At the Nebraska experiment farm
alfalfa hay is fed to hogs from an or
dinary sheep rack, having vertical
Stats about three inches apart, Just
wide enough to permit the hogs to
reach the hay. These racks stand
about four feet high and are approx.
mately three feet wide at the top and
eighteen inches at the bottom. The
accompanying drawing shows a very
satisfactory rack made from wire fenc.
ing. This design was furnished by
Prof. Chase Of the department of farm
mechanics Of the University of Ne
braska. The rack has been used by
several well known farmers in the
state and all who have tried it seem
well pleased, owing to the simplicity
of its construction and the fact that
there is little waste of hay. 1t is
made by using S0-inch wire fence in
verted so that the larger openings viii
be at the bottom. 1t is desirable tc
use fencing made of heavx wire and 8

Paraaltn of ponItrv-

The worst external parasite Of poul.
try against which the poultryman and
farmers have to contend is the com
mon chicken mite" or red chicken
mite" (Dermanyssus gallinae, Redi.)
There are other species of mites
which attack poultry, but they do
much less damage. This bloodthirsty
pest causes great loss to the poultry
industry Of the country by killing
adult fowls and chicks and cutting
down egg production. It not only at
tacks poultry but horses and even

ASKS NEW TRIAL
in RUSSO CASE

In the Court of Oyer and Terminer
this morning argument was heard for
new trial in the case of the State
VS.. Carmine Russo. Russa was con-
victed OF first degre murder Of Will
liam J. Kidd. Leonard r. Wales then
asked for an arrest of judgment and
hled reasons for a new trial for his
client. II was upon these that ar
gument was made today.
In the court OF his argument Mr.
Wales said he had asked for a post
ponement Of the trial owiEs to the alb
sence of a witness, but Nd not filed
his motion for continuance on that
ground as the Attorney General had
stated at the time that the State had
been diligently trying also to find Phil
ippo Rosaro, the absent witness. Mr..
Wales said that as the life of a per-
son is in jeopardy he did not think he
should be held down strictly to the
court rules. He, as counsel assigned
for Russo. made an affidavit that he
had been assigned by the court to de-
fend Russo He argued that owing 70
the shortness of the time given him
to prepare a defense he had been un-
able TO property prepare il.
+'AiF N'A'' eNA bdt0 Aiidl II Is the nlcL
case in the courts of Delaware where a
man whose life was i'm Jeopardy was
compelled to go to trial in two weeks.
Mr. Wales argued that the testimony
for the State had been contradicted
and did not support the claim Of malice
aforethought, as contended by the
State.
Attorney General Crap opposed Mr..
Wales reasons for a new trial for
Russo.
Mr. Gray argued that the evidence
was heard by an intelligent and con-
scientious jury, and that the evidence
was conclusive.
The court reserved decision. Russo
will be brought into court to be present
when the decision is handed down.
Russo is sick and his condition is
such that he can scarcely walk across
a room.

70 PREVENT APPLE scAs.

There may be some readers OF these
notes who have orchards which have
been neglected for some time past and
in which scab and other fungous pests
hold sway, not only reducing the size
OF the fruit produced. but greatly in
juring its quality. To right these ills
one musi spray the trees within the
two or three weeks before the bios
som buds open with the bordeaux
mixture. This is made Of blue vitriol
"copper" sulphate), lime and water and
is prepared as follows: Slack FIVE
pounds of fresh stone lime in a tight
box or small barrel, using care that it
does not burn in the process, for the
finer and moro creamy its texture the
better the mixture therefrom will be.
When thoroughly Stacked dilute to
twenty-five gallons. preferably in the
small barrel in which the Stacking has
been done. Next dissolve five pounds
OF the copper sulphate in two or three
gallons of water and dilute to twenty
five gallons. This may be done in fif-
ty-five gallon vinegar barrel and the di-
luted lime mixture added, the contents
being stirred thoroughly as each pail
full is poured In. When all OF the lime
water has been added and the con-
tents have been thoroughly stirred the
mixture should be tested by taking n
little OF it in n small dish and adding
few drops of prussiate OF potash, a
dendly poison. If a chocolate brown
precipitate results it means that there
is not enough lime in the mixture, and
enough should be added so that the
portion tested will not turn the red
dish brown. However, in making
many tests Of this kind the writer has
never got the brown precipitate when
the above amount Of lime was used.
For small operations the barrel spray
outfit will likely be used. and the solu-
ton should be strained through a
twenty mesh copper strainer or two
thicknesses Of gunny sacking. Where
the operations are on a large scale the
above $3.50 receipt, as it is called,
may bo multiplied as occasion may re-
quire. In this case a saturated stock
solution Of the copper sulphate may
be kept on hand, made by suspending
in sack in keg of water more OF
the chemical than win dissolve. A
gallon and two-thirds OF this solution
win give the necessary five pounds Of
the copper sulphate, while enough of
the lime solution should be added so
that the chocolate precipitate will not
result when few drops OF the prus-
state of potash are added. The solu-
tion should be kept agitated while it
is being used and should be applied to
the trees under heavy pressure. Where
orchards are badly infested with scab,
sooty blotch and other fungous pests
a second and even third treatment
should be given with the bordeaux. it
being well TO add paris green to that
applied just after the blossoms fall. in
order to kill the larvae Of the codling
moth. Spraying treatment OF this kind
VIII do wonders for the fruit OF a
neglected orchard, and the showing on

A NEW APPLE CLASSIFICATION.
At the recent national apple show
held at Spokane. Wash. various reso-
lutions were adopted tending to foster
the development Of the apple industry,
aud among the most important were
those outlining a new and what it is
hoped will be uniformly adopted as
the countrys apple classification. The
resolutions we're as follows: First,
that our apples be packed in three
grades. Second, that the said grades
be named extra fancy choice and
orchard run Third, that where the
words extra fancy are stamped on a
box it shall signify that the apples
when packed were sound. uniformly
graded as 10 sizein each box, smooth,
practically free from bruises. worms,
worm stings OF disease and have rea-
sonably proper shape for the variety,
fully matured; all red varieties in this
grade shall be at least 80 per cent red.
except Spitzenburgs. Winesaps. Jona-
thans and Arkansas Blacks, which
shall be at least 20 per cent red; Yel-
low Newtons. White Winter Pear
mains, Grimes Goldens. Bellefowers.
Ortleys, Winter Bananas and Red
Cheek pipplus win be allowed in this
grade. Fourth, that the choice grade
shall consist Of apples sound. uniform
ly graded as to size in each box, free
from any breaks in the skin or black
bruises, also free from worms or any
disease which materially Injuries the
quality of the apple. Fifth, that where
for any reason the grower OF packer
does not care to use the extra fancy
or 'choice' grades we recommend the
varieties be packed In one grade term
ed orchard rum which shall apply to
apples free from worms or any dis
case which materially Injuries the
quality Of the apple and those not
smaller than Eve tier nor less than two
inches In diameter"
