REPORT LETTER
WHEAT KILLING
Chicago Hears He Cleaned Up Ssoo,ooo
ON Rise--Liverm0re
Won, Too.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-May wheat opened
on the local board of trade yesterday at
81 .5o1S per bushel This represented an
advance Of x OF a cent per bushei over
Yesterdays close. July wheat opened at
sl.344, which was an increase OF 9s
over the cost Wednesday night.
Recessions which came fraction at q
time continued until ll:45, when May
wheat was selling for Sl.491a and July
options at $l.33%.
Every one connected with the gram
trade here yesterday was asking the
question:
"Who is getting the money!?
The usual answer is that everyone
who has handled wheat during the last
few months, from the farmer to the
exporter and European grain Spectator,
has filled his pockets. But among the
dealers there are rumors OF killings
unequalled since the heyday OF d. I.
Hutchinson or Joseph Letter, and, oddly
enough, the most persistent rumor has
to do with Joe Letter himself.
Has Letter "come backl" 1t is COM
mon talk on the board of trade that he
has. 1t is said that Letter foresaw the
sudden upturn of the market on account
of the European war ana jumped in and
bought heavily while wheat was sell
ing around SIPS. His profits alone are
estimated in board of trade talk at close
to 100000.
C. b. Livermore, New York stock
trader, who is credited with having made
several fortunes in stocks, has been a
heavy trader in wheat add has made big
winnings on the long side of the market.
c. W. Partridge, the State street mer-
chant, also is said to have pocketed a
good sized fortune, and A. J. Lichtstern
is said to have taken down large profits
from time 10 time.
John Barrett of Chicago is another
trader who sold big line of long
wheat.

So STATES INTERESTED
IN PEACHES
Peaches Usually Prefer Site Consider
ably Elevated Above the
Surrounding Country.

In at least 80 of our As United States
there are peach interests of commercial
Importance, according to new farm
ers' bulletin (No 63ll of the u. 5. de-
partment of agriculture on "Growing
Peaches" This bulletin is the first OF
three on the general subject of peach
growing, which will treat of fundament-
al orchard operations. The questions OF
Site, propagation, planting, tillage, and
soil fertility are treated in the first bull
letin now being issued.
In locating peach, as well as any
other orchard other advantages must be
considered besides the natural ones Of
climate and soil If an orchard is too
remote from a shipping station, too far
away from a suitable market, or located
where ice for refrigerator cars cannot be
conveniently supplied, it may not be pos
sible to grow peaches there prohtably.
Peaches may do well on wide range
OF soil types including even some of the
moderately heavy clay loans and clays
But whatever type, soil must be thor
oughly well drained to be suitable for
peaches. They will not succeed on poor
ly drained soils. 1t follows that the
heavy clay types which are 50 hard and
impervious that water does not perco-
late through them readily are to be
,voded as rule Moreover, soil
should be moderately fertile. One very
rich in nitrogen is not to be desired as
general rule, since it is likely to in
duce an excessive growth Of foliage On
the other hand, the impression which IS
somewhat common that poor, unfertile
soil is good enough for peaches" is er.
roneous.
In districts in which alkah soils oc-
chr, sites should be selected with view
to avoiding them. While the peach tree
can be grown where there is a limited
amount of the alkali salts, they cause
disaster ii present in large quantities. 1t
is safer, therefore, to avoid them as far
as possible
As a general proposition, site that
lie elevated considerably above the sur
rounding areas is to be preferred for a
peach orchard Relative elevation u
generally Of greater Importance than ae-
tual elevation above sea level.

TESTING MILK AT HoME.-I.
Detecting Poor Cows.


How is an ambitious farmer 10 tell
which COW Is the best. or which is paying
him the greatest profit on the feed con-
sumed? The answer il a simple one,
namely, by keeping a daily record Of the
number Of pounds Of milk each COW pro-
duoes and by testing the milk every
month with a Babcock test, IN order 70
see how much butter fat il contains,
which also shows how much butter can
be made from the milk. seven pounds OF
butter fat making about eight pounds Of
butter.
This work i quite within the reach
Of any boy on the farm. and if directions
are followed he can soon learn 10 keep
records and DO all the testing. The APP
paratus used in making the test consists
OF four pieces, the tester or machine in
which the test bottles are whirled, the
test bottles with long graduated necks;
the pipitte. which i long glass tube

CALLING FOR SMALL DUCKS.
Hotels and Restaurants Catering to a
Growing Fad.
Il. O. MORTON

It has become lad OF latei IN lash-
onable hotels and restaurants, TO serve
small chickens, guinea fowls and ducks,
as individual portions, which has, OF
course, brought about a great demand
for the smaller breed of ducks, and
White Leghorns for squad broilers, ets,
The black duck fills this want admirably.
In size weighing about three and one hali
10 four pounds, they are hardy, easy 70
raise, and gentle to handle. A Mallard
also proves satisfactory for the same
purpose. II little larger duck Is want.
"a cross between Mallard drake and
small Rouen duck will produce a bird
weighing from six to seven pounds when
fully grown.
Ducks are like hens, in that they are
only profitable when properly handled,
for they must be well housed and well
fed IL they are TO thrive and lay their
full quota Of eggs. A suitable laying
house NAV be OF the shed-roof type, SKI

feet in front and four feet IN the rear,
The window opening, six feet long ana

sure 10 provide against any chance OF
dampness or draughts. The hoor should
be preferably Of cement covered with
