CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, November Assumptions
that export trade from the United States
would soon become larger, encouraged
bullish sentiment today in the wheat
trade The outcome was a steady close,
4 to 7sa1 net higher, with Decem-
ber at 105Is and May at LOGS. Gains
were scored also by other speculative
articles-corn, l1a Is to * oats. Is to u,
and provisions shade to E1saio.
Leading bulls in wheat took the ground
that foreign developments appeared to
be directing the immediate European de-
mand more and more to this country.
Stress was laid on reports that the supply
in Great Britain was almost negligible,
and on the continued strength of prices
here and at other domestic centers, not
withstanding the exceptionally heavy crQ
movement of late. Views of this char
acter helped to bring in sufficient buying
to start prices upgrade right at the out
set, and there was at no time any serious
reaction except of the most transient sort
Decreasing arrivals in the northwest
had considerable effect in gaining addi-
tional friends for the bull side of the
wheat market. In this connection gossip
was current that much wheat was being
h;pped from Minneapolis all rail to New
York for export. Due notice was also
taken of advices from Kansas City telling
that demand there was brisk.
Demand for corn broadened out to
notable degree, especially on the part OF
rural dealers. Despite hea>. profit-tak-
ing by some prominent longs, the upward
tendency of prices could not be over
come. Complaints regarding the poor
quality of the crop gave the chief in
centive to the buying. Oats hardened in
sympathy with corn. Gains were some
what checked, though, by knowledge
that receipts here for the week had been
the largest for any corresponding week
in five years.
Provisions responded to the strength OF
hogs and grain. Export sales were said
to have reached an average Of more than
twice the normal total.

Farmers who yesterday brought in
their produce and sold it on the coun-

found a good demand for almost every
thing they had for sale. and they were
able to dispose of practically all their
stock at fair prices.
Many vegetables which up to a week
ago were plentiful have disappeared,

record was published she was still

A correspondent of The Star. writing
of his experience last winter as the
owner of a flock of more than 700 hens,
says:
Last winter our hens just about
dried up on us. We gave them the best
care we possibly could after cold win
ter weather set in, but all through the
months when eggs were bringing the
highest prices and when feed was most
expensive we brought in practically no
eggs. When you think of what it
means to feed and care for between
that feed money going out and not a
cent coming in. you can readily imag-
Inc that we were pretty blue. But we
have found out what was the matter.
We Matched fine lot of pullets a year
ago and were sure they would be right
on deck with their eggs during the
winter season. but they. too, went back
on US. The reason of this was that we
were busy with other things ,and did
not get our pullets in out of the trees
and other out-of-doors roosting places
they had chosen until a sudden cold
snap came along, during which the pull
let's and hens were thoroughly chilled.
Then. too, on account of that same
to attend to the old hens were neg
lected in the fall and did not go into
winter quarters as they should have
done Add to this the fact that we
did not send the oldest hens to market
in the fall, as we should have done, and
you have the secret of our heavy
losses"

WINCHESTER, Va, November 13.-
William Jennings Bryan Brown, nine
teen years old, who shot and killed his
father. John w. Brown, early In Au-
gust, following a quarrel during which
the youth resented his fathers action in
ordering Mrs. Brown away from home.
began serving a life sentence in the
penitentiary at Richmond tonight. AL
though he has many relatives and
friends, his mother was the only per-
SON to say goodbye at the station. The
elder Browns body was found in a
state of putrefaction hidden under
loose earth and leaves, near their home
at Main, three months ago today. The
dead man had served a term in the
same penitentiary some years since for
shooting Charles F. Keiter. a neigh

All Around the Place.

Take advantage of the fine fall
weather and clean up the garden, the
lawn and dooryard and all around the
place. Pull up all the cabbage stalks.
etc. from the garden and work them
into the compost heap. Rake up the
dead leaves and grass from the yard
and add it to the heap that is to sup
ply the finest kind of fertilizer for next
years garden and flower beds. If pos
sible, plow--or spade-the tract that is
to be used for gardening next year.
and even as late as it is, sow the land
to rye or. winter wheat. If the land
lies very fiat it may be left plowed,
and in this way many insect larvae, as
we'll as partly germinated weed seeds,
will be killed.
AS the frost has killed all the foliage
on the grapevines and the leaves have
all fallen, the vines may be pruned
back and laid on the ground for the
winter. The vines should be deeply
covered with straw or leaves, weight
ed down with poles SO that the cover
ing may. not be blown off during the
winter, and this work should be done
before the ground freezes.
Squashes intended for winter use
must be handled carefully in hauling
them in from the field. Store the
3qudSHeS one layer Oeep on WOODEN
racks in moderately warm and well
ventilated storage house. They need
no covering.
If the place has a field of alfalfa, give
It winter fertilization with an abun-
dant covering of old stable manure.
