issue another price list shortly,
which will show some variations as a
result of the placing on the market
of new crop wheat flour At the mo-
ment, however. patents are still quot
ed at $3.50, with seconds at $5.25.
Feed-The strong undertone to the
barley market that has prevailed for
some time bids fair to continue in
definitely. Supplies are hard to get.
for the apparent reason that growers
turned most of their attention to
wheat with the expectation of getting
high prices for that product. Oats
are in good supply and moving fairly
well. AS to price changes, previous
quotations hold good.
Tacoma.
Wheat The wheat market has
shown a 81 arp reaction during the
week, both locally and in eastern cen
ters. Bluestem is selling off &C to
csc per bushel, and club soc, with a
moderate volume of business passing.
One of the elements of weakness in
the price situation is the continued
advance in freight rates, charters
having touched new high-water mark
during the week at 105 shillings, while
there is still a scarcity of available
vessels, serving to restrict export
operations. The past weeks receipts
were a little larger, but still low, con
sidering the season, aggregating about
400 cars each at Tacoma and Seattle,
with $50 cars at Portland. Total re-
ceipts at North Pacific terminals to
date aggregate 1876 cars, or approx.
imately 15,500,000 bushels, showing
that less than one-third of the proba.
BILE surplus has been moved to this
time Holders are well situated for
retaining their stocks, and seem In
clined to do so, awaiting later season
least reasonable doubt as to the
trend of the future.
Flour-Market is still holding quiet
The slump in wheat has caused deal
ers to buy with conservatism, al
though the undertone of the market
is still fairly well sustained. Export
operations are holding quiet. The
volume of business offering is disap
pointing and, while some interior
mills are still shipping to centra
Washington points, operations are g
trifle restricted. Export brands still
hold at around $4.10 for club straights
but firm at this figure.
Feed-There have been few changes
in the feed situation during the week
With the slump in export wheat, feet
is quoting off from last weeks ad
vanc at $30@31. Oats are steady a
$25 5000, with moderate business, ant
an inclination to hold on the part o
! growers, which is the only element o
present strength. Barley has sus
tanned the advance of the week, wit
: some export business passing, but
light demand from the brewing trade
Hay is holding at the higher figure
quoted a week ago.

USE HERALD WANT ABS
Gazing FOR THE COLT IN WIN
TER

As the pastures dry up and cold
weather approaches, the question of
how to care for the growing colt
through the winter confronts the farm
er. Many colts will be taken from
pasture with goodly store of fat only
to be turned out to a straw pile for
feed and shelter, and will come out
next spring lighter in weight than they
are this fall. On the other hand, not
few colts may be ruined by heavy
feeding in stalls, where they cannot
take exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is a tightly
built shed, open to the south, where the
animals may go in and out at their own
pleasure, and where they may have the
run of good big field for exercise.
Idle farm horses can best be sheltered
in the same way. A dry bed and pro-
lection from cold winds, snow and rain
is all That is needed.
Two parts of oats preferably crush
ed), and one part of bran, makes 4
very suitable feed for growing colts.
In cold weather little corn may be
added not to exceed rs per cent Of the
ration. 1t clover or alfalfa is used as
half Of the roughage ration, no oil meal
will be needed, but if the roughage
consists Of wild hay or. corn slower,
about 8 per cent of oil meal should be
added to the grain ration. Where oats
is high in price and barley is plentiful,
a ration of crushed barley 60 per cent,
bran 30 per cent, and oil meal 10 per
cent should rive rood results.
There is little danger of over-feed-
ing colt if it is properly exercised. A
colt should receive at least one pound
daily for each 100 pounds Of live
weight, and if out in the cold a little
more may be used to advantage.
Growth can be made more RAPIDLY
and cheaply during the first year than
at any other time, and feed should not
be spared at this time.-J. s. Mont
gomery, University Farm, St. Paul.

POTATOES ROTTING; STORE WITH
CARE

Potato-growers in different parts Of
Minnesota are suffering losses through
potato rots, and these losses will in
crease unless great care is used in stor-
ing the crop.
The two types Of rot which are most
serious, says E. G. Stakman of the
Minnesota Experiment Station, are the
late blight dry rot and black leg rot.
The late blight dry rot appears on the
surface Of the potatoes as sunken, dark,
purplish, or brownish areas. On cut
ting into these areas the flesh Of the
tuber is found to be undergoing a dry
decomposition. If the air is moist
such spots sometimes show white mold.
The black leg rot usually gets in at the
stem end of the tuber causing a soft
decomposition, the margin of the de-
composed areas often being quite dark
or even black. If the rot gets into the
flesh of the potato it may spread faster
than on the outside.
For this year, say Mr.. Stakman, the
only thing to do is to store the potatoes
in dry, we'll ventilated, and cold places.
A low temperature is essential. Tests
have been made with potatoes, the
vines Of which had been DESTROYED bv
late blight, in storage at different tenn
peratures. After two months at 40 de-
gress. II per cent OF rot had occurred:
at IS degrees, SO per cent, and at 70
degrees, 70 per cent. This kind of
thing may happen to farmers this year
If their storage conditions are not fav-
orable.
Practically all of the loss sustained
from late blight rot could have been
prevented easily by proper spraying.
Where tests have been made over a
long period Of years, an increase of los
bushels to the acre has been obtained
by spraying from two to four times.
and other tests have shown that stor-
age rot has been reduced from IS per
cent on unsprayed potatoes to less than
I per cent On sprayed potatoes. The
spray used is Bordeaux mixture which
can be applied with Paris green at verv
slight expense.
To remove danger from black leg. all
potatoes that show evidences Of intec-
ton should be discarded when seed
potatoes are selected in the sprinx, and
after tubers have been selected thew
should be treated with corrosive sub
ounces to thirty gallons
of water.
Corrosive sublimate is deadly moi
son and potatoes treated with it should
not be eaten by man or fed to stock.
