HEAVY SALES ON
POOR LIVERPOOL
Professionals Hammer Entire Day,
Resting Orders Prevent Dip
Below 1850 for January.

NEW YORK, Sept 30.-Liverpool ca
bles were unsatisfactory at the opening
of the cotton market to-day and first
prices were at net decline of to II
points from last nights close. The I'M
dertone was steady on reports of heavy
rains over the central and eastern belts.
Weakness in Liverpool was attributed
TO rumors of an impending strike in
Lancashire and to Southern selling.
After the call offerings became heaV-

the end in view of replacing their sold

The decline came in the face OF "a
vorable news regarding the anti-option
bill. 1t is said the House is in favor
OF the Smith Lever amendment, as OPP
posed to the drastic Clarke amendment.
1t is said. however, that a serious dead
lock at Washington is in sight. How

MAKING THE FLOWING EASIER
Hardest Wori; That the Farm Horses
Are Called Upon to Perform
Keep Shares sharpened.

Flowing is at best the hardest work
our farm horses have to perform.
Few plow teams are not doing 10 to
80 per cent. OF unnecessary work. The
writer has seen plows which he be-
lieyed were pulling SO per cent harder
than they should, writes Z. w. Ham
iltonI in an exchange.
We are told that about so per cent
OF the draft OF a pillow Is due to the
cutting OF the furrow slice. The con-
dition OF the cutting edge must then
be Of first Importance. Expert plow.
men recognize this and IN competi-
tons file their shares to knife edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown SO per
cent. heavier draft than a new share.
Again. engine plows OF the same
make and size have under the same
conditions shown 45 per cent. differ
ence in draft in favor OF the new fresh
ly filed shares over resharpened
shares In ordinary condition. II will
certa My pay to keep the plowshares
sharp and in proper form.
The set and adjustment OF a plow
has almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A
riding pillow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than a
walking pillow or plows of the same
widths. Yet how many do it? About
80 per cent. OF the draft of a walking
pillow is due to the friction of the
pillow on the bottom and side of the
furrow. In the riding pillow this fric-
ton is eliminated by carrying the
weight and down and side pressure OF
pillow bottom on wheels.
To accomplish this the rear furrow
wheel is set out about an inch and a
quarter SO that Landslide cannot touch
the side furrow. The wheel is also
set down so the heel of Landslide is
raised off the bottom of furrow. When
so set the pillow bottom will sink into
the ground and hang there. When
pillow bottoms float" in the frame
none of the bottom and side pressure
is removed and the draft of the bot.
toms is the same as that of the walk
ing plows to which must be added that
due to weight of plow frame and
driver.

PROPER TRAINING OF COLTS
Two Thirds of Horses Called Vicious
Can Be Managed by Judicious
Treatment-Many Spoiled.

Many valuable horses are spoiled by
improper or harsh treatment in train
ing. A man who is incapable of un-
derstanding the disposition of horses
is certainly incapable of training
them. T~wo-thirds of the horses that
have been called vicious can be man.
aged by proper treatment, says the
Farm and Home.
it is bad policy to train a colt un-
less he is in the best of spirits. The
brain will be more active, therefore
the disposition easier TO control. On
the other hand, il you train a colt
while he is thin in flesh. in poor spir-
its and on light food, as some men do.
he will not take notice of objects, and
when on good feed later he is not well
trained. Have them in good spirits,
give plenty of feed, and us less whip.

SELECTION OF FEEDER STEER
Width and Straightness of Back, With
Accompanying W~eII-sprung Rib,
Most Desired.

While the butcher desires ~fneness
of bone and high quality in all parts
SO that there shall be little waste on
the block, it is not desirable to have
this 90 TO extremes. A steer with too
much refinement, as indicated by a
light bone and frail head, and a small
paunch, will not be able TO stand the
strain Of heavy feeding, and then fin
ish out with the great weight that is
desired.
No n point is considered more i'm.
portant in selecting feeder steers Than
the width and straightness of the
back, wits the accompanying we'll
sprung rib. 1t is an index to the feed
ing quality and points to the ability to
put on meat in the expensive cuts.

Getting Seed Grain Esrtv.

Do not wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do it
while you have plenty of grain at
hand from which TO select. The best
twenty-five bushels OF grain out OF a
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from a much smaller
amount in the spring.
The cost OF thus cleaning and grad.
Ing the grain is very slight, and it
enables one to have heavy, plump seed
grain at very little outlay.

LARGE SLIDING BARN DOORS
RecoiI Spring Buffer Prevents Them
From Jumping Track When They
Are Thrown Open Quickly.

Large sliding barn doors have a
tendency to jump the track when they
are thrown open quickly. This may
be prevented by using a recoil spring
to stop the door at the place where it
is entirely open, writes j. Harry
Priestly of Lawrence, Mass, in the
Popular Mechanics. A buffer or re-
coil spring can be easily attached to
the outside of the building wall as
shown in the sketch. The Buffer A
is fastened on the ends of two sliding
pins, B and c, each one inch in diam
eter and is inches long. The pins

keep fowls out Of the garden and away
from the front of the house without

depends greatly upon the quality and
what they are wanted for. Some Of
our highest show types of collies are
the most intelligent and useful around
the farm. Good puppies sell to the
farmers at from $500 to $1,000 each.
The fancier who desires to raise col
lie puppies pays from $40 to $50 for
puppies not V two to four weeks
old.
One collie was brought to this
country from England several years
ago for $1,000, and one came last
year at the reported price of $4,000.
Every year several change hands at
$1,000 each, and many at 500 UP.
Collies a be trained easily and
quickly. to do many useful things. but
there is one thing that should be
borne in mind, and that is, the train
ing should be done by only one per-

he result will be a spoiled dog. When
well trained, no farmer will ever re-
greet having spent a little time and
money or a collie.
