ceipts were fair and not as large AZ
the preceding week and the quality
has been irregular. comprising more
or less of the under grades. with a
number of cars OF sample grade--the
latter missing grade on account OF a
mixture Of Ergot. The demand was
good and the offerings OF choice were
taken up daily at the established
prices, but the poorer lots we're rather
slow. The buying was mainly to supply
domestic manufacturing concerns. with
some buying on speculative account
and there was some export business.
Millers bought a large percentage Of
theofferings. Receipts for week at
Chicago 80 cars, against "a cars the
previous week.
BARLEY--There was strong mar
ket for barely the past week. Prices
tended upward for all grades. good
advance was easily scored. An i'm
provement in prices amounting to so
4c was gained. In some cases some
fairly good was said finally sold at SO
loo above what it brought on late de-
cline. Later the demand was not so
good. Offerings became small. and
with other features of the market
strong, prices continued firm.
TIMOTHY-There was an easy tone
to the market. Prices at the same time
did not change materially. The demand
was of a tame order, some buyers at
times holding off entirely Spot Offer
ings were very moderate, but samples
Of lots were daily shown for to arrive
bids. AS a rule the quality was ordinary
to fairly good. but of really high grades
there were none. A few cars OF contract
were brought on the market for in
spection and passed. After that they
disappeared. No one cared to do any
thing in futures or contract grade, for
usually there was silence on that score.
The receipts were fairly liberal, larger
than a week ago, while the reported
shipments We're smaller. There was
finally quoted 15@25c decline In prices
CLOVER-There may be something
of interest in the market there prob
ably is. It has not come out, however
AS q field for news the clover market
remains sterile. Movement was small,
and the business done was less. Sales
were confined to few small bag lots.
These ranged at $10@12.50. There was
no speculation in the market, in fact,
no interest of any kind.
,HAY-Receipts for the week were
$50 tons, against 9,2S7 tons for the
previous week. Shipments for the week

better grades of both timothy and
prairie hay were only fair during the
past week. A good demand existed and
consignments sold readily. A firm feel
ing prevailed. especially toward the
close of the week, and prices advanced
81 per ton. Medium and low grades
were in liberal supply and the demand
was light. The market ruled quiet and
steady, with no change to note in
prices. Quotations at the close ranged

Best Methods of Using Harrow

A FTER your ground is plowed, what
nexti Just here is a point many
farmers disagree upon, as far as
grain land is concerned.
IL you sow before narrowing. the
harrow pulls clods Of earth on top of
some Of the seeds and the plant fails
TO come up You also fail TO level off
the ridges and fill in the dead burrows.
If you harrow before you SOW you
secure a finer seed bed and you have
q more level field, Then by narrowing
again after sowing you fail to cover all
Of the seed and your horses trample the
ground just twice as much.
The whole problem depends almost
entirely on the condition the land is
left in by the plow.
If you have used good Judgment in
the selection of plow, used this imple-
ment properly when the ground is in
the proper degree of moisture, the field
will bc level and smooth enough to SOW
your seed at once.
The best harrow is steel one with
teeth which can be changed from n
position slanting at a slight angle for
ward to wide angle backwards. The
advantage of being able to shift the
angle Of the teeth is to allow the har-
row to dig into the ground if it is de-
sirablo or to just skim over it. In
weedy ground the harrow with the
teeth set at a slight angle backward
will do good work and at the same time
allow the weeds to work clear, pre-.
venting the harrow clogging. With the
teeth laid almost flat backwards you
can break up the crust which often
forms after n rain and which will bake
hard and prevent the seed from com.
ing through. If set little straighter
the harrow will be very useful for kill

Automobile on the Farm

Tho possession Of an auto gives
added power TO man just as do good
clothing and the appearance Of well
being. II is said that clothes do not
make man, but that is only partially
true There is some psychological fac
tor that gives a man more power and
personality when he feels he is well
dressed. The possession Of an auto has
much the same effect ON the farmer
and his family.
1t is said by some croakers that
when farmer gets an auto he spends
his time gadding about the country
and neglects his work. The facts do
not bear out the croak- The man who
will do that is usually found to be no
good in the first place. When the
farmer has to be tied to his job he is
. mighty poor specimen Of farmer.
Rural soeiologists who are trying to
build up good, wholesome country com
munity interest should not overlook
the part the auto will play in their
plans. The units Of social activity will
be very much enlarged and the horizon
Of the farmer very much widened. His
experience will become fuller and
richer.
May the time speedily como when
every farmer may own an automobile.

tate the administration of the forests

to all users, but it will result in far

1t is aimed to build these roads in
such q way that they will connect

THROWING AN ANIMAL.

DY USING. the following method a
= 12-year-old boy can throw or cast
ton animal very easily:
A half-inch rope is needed, about
30 feet long. Make a loop large enough
to fit over the animals neck back at
the shoulders, then stretch the rope
straight over the back to point just
behind the front legs, carrying it
around the body of the animal, and
take a half-hiteh on top of his back.
Next run the rope back to the wethers,
bring it around in front of his hind
legs, and take another half-hitch on top
Of his back Then pull on the rope and
see the animal lie down. But he should
first be tied to stout post or stake.
Friction with rubber brush or a
Turkish towel is good for dry skin,
as it stimulates the glands.

ing young weed growth. With the
teeth laid flat and some weight pu.
on each section the harrow makes a
fine leveler and clod smasher.
To do the best work the team must
walk fast. Do not get too large a har-
row and overload your horses. A har-
row eight feet wide is enough for the
average team. Narrowing is harder
on horses than plowing. Do not try
to do too much, but what you do, do
well.
There is a vast difference in the way
harrows hold to the ground. Some
makes win persist in just scratching
the surface, while Others seem TO try
to get closer to the earth all the time.
Make a study of the different harrows
in use and get the one that suits your
conditions best.
Harrow the way you plowed. Follow
the plow. Never harrow against the
plow furrow. 1t pulls up clods and
weeds and often leaves the ground
worse than IL you had not used the
harrow at oil. In cross narrowing grain
turn sharply at the end of the field and
go back, tapping one tooth only on the
ground just narrowed. In this way you
trample less ground. When narrowing
in an orchard turn so rs to axe in two
rows Of trees. BY making a short turn
you are liable to bark some of the
trees. A specially made orchard har-
row is best for this work, and if you
have an orchard and open fields an or.
chard harrow will do all the work of
its kind required on your farm.
Always remember one thing-keep
the harrow teeth sharp.

ROADS SHOULD BE CROOKED.

~ GOD ROADS in the future should
u be built on the zig-zag plan for
the avoidance Of hills and steep
grades, the federal offices of good
roads announced recently in declaring
that the lives Of horses and auto
mobiles could be heightened thereby
and tho cost of hauling reduced ma
terially. The experts contend that
"the longest way around often may
be the shortest and most economical
way home" and decry the natural
tendency to build straight roads when
ever they must breast heavy grades.
