Although several prominent oils met
profit taking on an early upturn and
saggcd thereafter, others continued in
demand and scored net gains for the
day, the final trend being irregular.
Standard of Indiana worked up more
than a point and a half to within a
short distance of the recent high for
tho year.
Imperial Oil fell off to III u, while
Maracaibo dropped back to 25. Cities

arc probably moro extensively planted
than any other sorts. They grow three
to four feet high, arc vigorous and
FREQ and almost continuous blooming.
The beautiful rich dark bluo with
white center of Formosum Coalestin-
um and the clear turquoise blue of the
Belladonna, are scarcely euuaed by
any other flower In cultivation. Seeds
of any or all of the hardy species, sown
in shallow drills in the cold frame grow
readily and soon make plants large
enough to be set in the open ground.
AS rule the young plants transplant
quite as successfully as lettuce and
cabbage. and spring-raised plants II
set out when large enough will bloom
in the autumn.
The oriental poppies will endure the
drouth and make a grand display every
summer by banking the roots well over
winter. Have large circular bed OF
one color only. The sweet peas, cam
panulas. perennial heliotrope, canter-
bury bells, columbine and golden glow
arc very satisfactory, as are the old
fashioned bleeding hearts. sweet Will
liams and many of the perennial lilies.
The wild flowers SO familiar to all
do exceptionally well when brought
into the yard. given good rich soil and
some attention. Each summer sees its
group of now favorites triumphantly
added to the bed by some member of
the family. Many of these. notably the
wild geraniums and bluebcils, have
remarks ole blooming period and are
very useful for cutting, while the wild
columbines and violcts in variety share
favor with them when the vases are
to be filled.
As for tho shrubs, n number of them
have boen tested and found not want
ing. Choose the Reouen lilac, for it
goes right on growing and producing
flowers no matter what tho season.
There arc three kinds OF tho Reouens.
the red, tho deep rcd and the white.
Theys bloom in the greatest profusion
and are completely nantled in robes
of splendor. The Spirea van Houtu
will grow anywhere and its beautiful
white flowersc arc desirable in the
spring time. These shrubs will keep
on growing whether tho rain comes or
not, and tho beautiful spring flowers
sivc real worth for the space they oc-
cup-.
There is no moro charming semi
shrubby perennial than tho old-fash-
ioned rosemary, with its fragrant gray
green foliage. As single specimen or
grouped with other shrubs and peren-
malls II is ono OF the most useful OF the
casily grown plants. 1t is not cxscting
as to soil conditions and is exceedingly
resistant to drouth conditions. AL
though II is not generally employed for
hodges 1t is one of tho finest hedge
plants for hot dry climates. 1t grows
readily from seed sown in the fall Of
the year or from hcrhaceous cuttings
taken in the spring.

When an elevator company or a mill
has hedged its transaction, subsequent
price fluctuations are of no further in
terest. Should the price advance, tho
elevator company will make nothing
nor will it lose should the price decline,
except its regular profit. All risk has
been transferred to man willing to
carry it. The elevator company's
profit is, after hedging, the difference
between the price paid for the wheat
in the country and the price at which
he sold his future contract less freisas
and other charges.

bushels of actual wheat that the eleva-
tor owns" may be asked. That all
depends. Any contract made in the pit
may be offset by another purchase o.s
sale as the case may be. If the mill
wants that wheat, it can always get il
by holding the contract. Sometimes il
wants only the protection and will get
its wheat somewhere else Sometimes

hedging, may arbitrarily be divided into
two classes: first, those who sell futures
against grain they own and those who
buy futures against sales of cash Tor
actuaD grain made to other parties or
against sales of -four or other manufac-
tured grain product.
A great volume of trading in the pit
is carried on by speculators-men who
are trained to know and base their ac-
tions on the shifting values. Without
these active participants, hedging could
not be done in large volumes and with
out hedging markets, the producer
would be forced to carry the bulk of
his crops and market them gradually or
sell at price low enough that would
give somebody else, who would be will
ing TO carry the grain for him, q mar
gin of profit.
In this way consumption for months
ahead is anticipated and the price regu-
lated accordingly. This method acts
