worry her. To initiate these ideal con.
ditions is what the wise dafryman
strives to do. He supplies plenty Of
sible. Then, he sees that the cows
have some shade and does what he
can to reduce the great swarms of
flies that come during August and Sep
tember to torment the COW. Elimina.
tion of manure piles and old straw
piles goes a long way to reduce the
numbers of flies, for these are their
breeding places. Some of the flies may
be killed by making Il preparation of
one pint of milk and four tablespoon
fuls of formaldehyde. Pour this in
dish of sand and lay piece of blot
ting paper sprinkled with sugar over
the dish.
A succulent feed is one of the fore
most considerations in attempting to
approach the ideal conditions of June
during the hot dry weather of August
and September The silo is the only
practical means of supplying this sue
culent feed. When the regular silo is
out of the reach Of the dairyman the
pit silo can be constructed at small
cost.
Legumes in pasture or hay are very
important because they furnish the
nitrogen necessary for the cows ra-
tion and they furnish it in the most
economical form. They also furnish
needed mineral substances. Corn is

training for leadership secured by the.
members and the development of COM

impossibility of the club agent to SUI
pervise the development Of all the
teams in the county, it was necessary
for each club to take the initiative.
Good sized audiences of adults and
juniors attended all of the meetings.

Canadian Losn in Doubt

Very little information regarding
the prospects Of a Canadian govern.
ment loan offering in this market has
recently come from acros. the border
and bankers who are in touch with the
situation in the dominion feel that
such an operation is unlikely in the
near future. Prevailing sentiment is
that the dominion government will
seek. if possible. to finance its 1922
maturities, placed at close to $780,
100000. in the home market, falling
in which, it will more probably turn
to New York than to London. The
strength of Montreal funds, which yes

would otherwise be the case The i'm

aside from the important influence of
the appreciation in sterling, is ascribed

Sterling at Sd.3n5s

New high quotations for the year
we're achieved yesterday in a strongly
advancing foreign exchange market by
sterling, francs, lire, Belgian francs,
guilders and Canadian dollars. The
movement, initiated under the leader
ship Of London, carried sterling cables
TO S439&s, the close being at the top:
francs to 9.2t cents and lire to 800
cents. Sterling vas fs cent above its
previous hign for 1922 and IA cents

newcd rise. An acute scarcity Of com

cotton bills, continued and buying vas
or the same general character that
accompanied tho earlier advance. Gov

Canadian dollars were correspondingly

ment came from London, but after the
New York market opened leadership
in the upbioding centercd here Nc
new figure seemed to sway the cx-
changes. Tho scarcity of bills, partic-

the rates extremely sensitive to buy

for the day and "a OF cent above the
previous high for tho year, sterling

The strength of the European cx-
changes. which has the effect of in
crcasing the purchasing power of Old
orld customers in this market. was
an influence in the rise Of wheat quo
tations. which ascended to new high
levels, gaining from 4 to 6'4 cents a
bushel. May futures were quoted at
Sl.46'4 and July at s1.27 bushel The
gain in May is equal almost to 80 per
cent, compared with the lowest price
quoted on this delivery. In the last
month the disparity Of farm prices
grain. hogs and other livestock-com-
pared with the general price level has
been greatly reduced. This heighten-

Mexican Oil Tax Settlement

No comment was forthcoming yester-
day from local oil men on the reported
settlement of export taxes due the
Mexican government from American oil
companies, although meeting of the
Association of Oil Producers in Mexico
was held during the morning The atti-
tude Of the association as we'll as the
members of the committee of five oil
executives who negotiated the agree
ment last September has been that all
statements and information should be
made by officials of the Mexican gov
ernment. The taxes have been accumu-
lating since June 1, 1921, and when
the decree bears the official signature
Of President Obregon the amount to
be paid will amount to approximately
l3,5O0,O00 pesos. If this money is used
to buy Mexican bonds in the open mar
ket such action, it was said yesterday,
would be strenuously opposed by Amer
lean bankers.

Coincident with the gains in tn.

rather than specific information, lent
support to the theory that the markets
course was being shaped in a measure
by operations associated with the re-
quirement that Germany pay each ten
days the equivalent Of $4,000, 900 gold
marks TO the Allies -Four Of these
payments have so far been met and the
opinion is held that Germany is now
having to resort TO She exchange mar

More Peace Dollars Arrive

The first shipment of peace dollars
OF 1922 mint was received yesterday
by the New York Federal Reserve Bank
and is now ready for distribution at
the old Sub-Trcasury Building. The
demand for these is not expected to
be so great as for the issue bearing
the 1921 date. which was strictly linn
tied. The amount Of the shipment was
not stated, but others are due to fol-
low, which should assure supply to
meet the demand.

Tho Markets Strength

The continued strength Of the stock
market in the face Of higher cali money
rates and the belief in some quarters
that it is due for a normal setback vas
attributed by number Of brokers
yesterday 10 the enormously increased
value Of wheat, corn and oats resulting
from the big demand during the lsst
month. This advance has been est
mated as high as s7oo 100000, not al
owing for the rise in hogs and other
livestock products. Such great rlse,
it is calculated, will greatly increase
the buying power Of the farmer and
cause corresponding improvement in
all lines Of business throughout the
West.

Of 1871 in active trading yesterday
sold up TO new high level of 90, clos.
ing at sos& for a net gain on the day
of IA points. This movement. which
was an outstanding feature OF the bond
market, was attributed in part to the
strength Of the foreign exchanges

ticularly to the operation of the sink.
ing fund in this issue. The loan was
poorly distributed at the outset gnc
the understanding has been that ths
