CHICAGO, Sept 4--war prices In ear
nest were realized today on change, \
world wide urgent demand for wheat ana
flour was the power that lifted values.
After an advance OF &c 10 sac a bushel,
wheat closed wild at DC TO b1ec above yes
terday's finish. All other leading staples
showed decided net gains-eorn lac 10
lSsal%c, oats lrc to 1l9c and provisions
5Q1i5c to Zoe.
TTncontradicted reports OF open direct
buying for British. French and other Eu-
ropean governments, put the greatest
strength into wheat today since the war
Influence developed more than month
ago. Thee magnitude OF the REQUIRE
ments for ocean shipment we're Indicated
by estimates that in the last two days
export houses here had disposed OF nearly
1900 600 bushels. There was said not TO
be a single foreign country which was
not buying flour wherever round lots
could be obtained on this side OF the
water. \ purchase by France from one
concern alone was lsted at 100, 900 barrels.
For tho first time since war was de-
clared. vessel room from here to Nom
treal was I'm request, and there were char
ters for 10000 bushels OF wheat to go to
Buffalo Meanwhile Chicago houses
were drawing supplies chiefly from the
west and southwest. Northwestern re-
ports indicated that farmers In the spring
wheat belt were holding on tightly for
stlll higher prices.

terially greater volume than has been the
case for weeks. One OF the chief elo-
ments Of activity was In the removal
OF 40 called hedges by millers and eN-
porters. Profit taking failed TO cause
any reaction Of lasting kind and there
were but few II any operators daring
enough to attempt short sales,
Corn derived all its strength from
wheat A group of big houses were con-
spicous on the buying side and promptly
took charge of all the offerings which
were made Export call for oats was
hardly second to that Of wheat About
500 900 bushels OF standard oats were
taken on September contracts and were
ordered cancelled for shipment from
warehouses.
Provisions. although easy at first with
hogs, swung upward later with grain
The sharpest advance was for pork

krupp Was Outwitted.

United Press Dispatch.
 London, Oct. 8.-Herr Krupp, the noted gun maker, was out witted when he visited England few months ago, before the outbreak of the war. England paid the inventor great homage. They dined and wined him to a queens taste. In fact, dining was the principal thing he did while he was here. Not because he wanted to especially, but be- cause that was all his English hosts would allow him to do.
 Several times the gun maker expressed a desire to see Eng lands armament works, just a friendly desire, you know. He was shown them, between cours- es as it were. The English did not give him time enough a. round any armament works to find out whether England was using breech loading cannon or pop-guns.
 The English figured that Herr Krupp might possibly pick up some information which would please the Kaiser immensely. And so that was why they din-. ed him and dined some more.

ernment experts used only College Of
Agriculture serum with the result that
Of 5904 diseased hogs treated, only
1888 died, loss of only II per cent
Heretofore serum has been used only
as a preventive. The government test
in Petlis county first proved that the
serum can be used as a cure for sick
hogs, The ordinary loss in sick herd
is IS to 100 per cent, but in all gov
eminent tests, where college-made
serum was used, only II per cent died.
Tests in Pettis county showed that
when serum was used on well hogs in
actually diseased herds. only 2.8 per
cent died. and when used on herds
exposed bat not yet diseased, only
COS per cent Of the hogs treated weie
lost. These remarkable results show
that the serum is sufficient protection
for all practical purposes.
With experienced county farm ad,
visers working with the College Of Ag-
riculture in distributing and applying
the serum, the farmers Of no other state
have a better chance for co.operation
with the college in stamping out hog
cholera.

THE WIDTH OF THE EARTH ROAD WILL
DEPEND ON THE TRAFFIC.
a. dry cedar log, though elm, walnut.
box elder or soft maple are excellent.
Oak, hickory or ash is too heavy.
The log should be from seven to ten
feet long and from eight to ten inches
In diameter. 1t should be split care
fully as near the center rs RosSible and
the heaviest and best slab chosen for
the front. When the soil IS moist, but
not sticky, the drag does the best
work. AS the soil In the field will
bake If plowed wet, so the road will
bake If the drug IS used on It when It
IS wet, II the roadway Is full Of holes
or badly rutted the drag should be
used once when the road is soft and
slushy.
The earth rond can best be crowned
and ditched with road machine and
not with picks and shOvels, scoops and
blows. One road machine with a suit
able power and operator will do the
work Of many men with picks and
shovels and. in addition, will do it bet.
ter. II the road is composed Of fine
clay or soil 1t will sometimes pay to
resurface 1t with top soil from an ad-
jaceDt field which has sand or gravel
mixed with 1t.
Storm water should be disposed of
quickly before It has had time to pene-
trate deeply into the surface Of the
road This can be done by giving the
road crown or slope from the center
to the sides. For an earth road which
is twenty-four feet wide the center
should be not less than six inches nor
more than twelve inches higher than
the outer edges Of the shoulder. The
narrow road which is high in the mid
die viii become rutted almost as quick
ly as one which is flat, for the reason
that on a narrow road all the traffic ia
forced to use only a narrow strip.
The width OF the earth road will de-
pend on the traffic. As a rule, twenty
FIVE or thirty feet from ditch TO ditch
Is sufficient If the road is properly
crowned. Ordinarily the only bitches
needed are those made with the road
machine, which are wide aud shallow.
Deep narrow bitches wash rapidly, es-
peclally on steep slopes. The earth
road should not be loosened, dug up or
plowed up any more than is necessary
1t should be gradually raised. not low
cred, hardened, not softened.
