BEARlSH DAY IN
WHEAT MARKET
EUROPEAN AND ARGENTINE RE-
PORTS CAUSE PRICE DECLINE;
CORN FLUCTUATES.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Europe and the
Argentine joined hands today in furn-
lshing beariSh news to the trade IN
wheat. Reports Of increasing stocks in
France were given as the cause of the
free offerings from Buenos Aires.
There was also a return to more fav-
orable weather in Argentine with more
promising conditions for harvest. The
market here, however, was steaded by
the Smallness of the worlds shipments
that northwest elevators were holding
in store only about half as much wheat
as in former years. The opening was
one eighth to quarter cent down. May
started at 9S% @9S1a to 9Sh, touched
9S2s and rallied to 9Sfs but again eased
Off
After a little further decline, large
export sales at Montreal and assertions
that the greater part of the winter
wheat in the United States was again
without snow protection brought about
a rally. The close was steady with May
b net higher at 9SAc.
Erratic fluctuations of the December
option attracted good deal Of notice
in the corn crowd. The price bObbed up
trade in that delivery as well as in the
deferred futures amounted to but lit
tie. May opened unchanged to shade
higher at 63A to 63A @63as, sold at
60 h 063A and rose to 63Ac.
Subsequently there was a further
upturn with wheat The close was
steady at 633s for May, gain Of rs
net.
Shorts covering put strength into
the market for oats. The motive power
came from the bulge in corn. May
started the same as last night to 1sc up
at 467s to Al, and assembled to AN a
47Bc.
The increased hog run made provis-
ions weak. January liquidation because
of the approach of delivery day counted
too against values. Initial sales were
unchanged to INC lower with May
$3.50 for pork, $9.32H to $685. for lard
and $S.571a for ribs.

whenever ensilage replaced a part of
the hay ration, there was a reduction
in the cost of production. 1t is fed
with good results in both winter and
summer
Filling the S!o.
The important thing in this is to ex-
clude the air by close packing. Wheth-
er the silage be delivered by carrier
or blower, it is very necessary that
one or two good men remain in the
silo to pack the ensilage thoroughly.
If air gets in, the ensilage spoils. The
heating of the ensilage is due to bac-
terra, which multiply at 40 to 100 de-
grees. After time slower fermen-
tation process succeeds and acetic
acid is formed, which assists in pre-
serving the feed. To facilitate these
processes, fair amount of moisture
is needed; so, if the corn is at all dry
it is we'll to turn a stream of water
into the silo as it is being packed
(See Farmers Bulletin No. 303, De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. c.. If the ensilage is frozen, no
material harm is done Cows eat it
just as eagerly.
