mile they bred for over an hour at an

In country road making there is much
plowing of roadsides and scraping
awayoftbesurfacesoil. This la almost
alwaysa mistake. But the fanner should
ee to It that at least the work of road
improvement does not obstruct the ea
trauces to his fields. Making It easy
for the fanner to use any part of his
farm is for him about the most neces
sary part of road improvement. Out
of this field Into tbe road he will each
year draw many loads, besides tbe
loads of manure he will likely draw
into It. If a plowed ridge or ditch ob
structs tbe entrance to the field many
wagons will be needlessly broken. If
a ditch Is required In the roadside op
posite a gate, the path master may be
obliged to convert it at that point into
a sluiceway, with stone or tile passage
ror the water. An underdraln beside
the road, three feet deep, with good out'
let. Is the best way to Improve moat
poor roads. But whatever tbe method
adopted, the farmer should see to It
that road Improvement does not ob
struct gateways that he baa to use.

The usual failure In getting seeds to
grow Is from sowing them too deeply
In the earth. If It were possible to
keep the seeds dark and moist, they
would be all tbe better fiom being
sown absolutely on the surface. Ev
ery one familiar with forest growth
must have noticed how forest-tree
seeds, which simply fall to tbo earth
and are covered by the few leaves or
the remains of grasses, germinate
without difficulty. In cherry trees, es
pecially, the stones which have fallen
from the tree, lying on tbe surface all
winter, sprout and grow rapidly when
spring time comes, and yet cherry seeds
from the same tree, collected by the
seed sower, sown In tin way In which
seeds are usually sown, frequently fall
to grow. In order to have seeds as
near the surface as possible and ye'
protected against drying up the great
prince of American practical gardeners
the late Peter Henderson recom
mended for planting vegetable seeds
that the garden line should first be
stretched along In tbe direction where
the vegetables were to grow, inink!e
tbe weds along the line entirely on tbe
surface, and then simply tramp them In
the ground along the line. In this way
no garden seed ever failed to grow If
It were good, and garden seeds are
generally good, for It has been found
that even old seed, If guarded agulnst
extreme heat or moisture, will continue
to preserve its vital power for an In
definite period. Still every purchaser
desires to got seed as fresh as possible.
If tbe suggestions given are borne In
mind there will lie very seldom com
plaints about the failure of garden
seeds to grow. Meehan's Monthly.

aeon established during the week aa the
result of diminished speculation, In

these conditions, with still lower ten
loiioy. Clearances continue, largo.
Export sale have been only moderate,
iiitl there seems to be a pause in tli
European demand. . The diminished
volume of speculation is probably ; the
weakest feature In the market at pres
ent, as the trade generally have accept
ed as a faot that Europe wants all thd

lare. The presence of a so-ohIIihI

sible for the decreased trado ami dona

cient to depress values, but lu conjunc
tion with the lessened export ilomuud
and absence of speculation tho current
of the market has been turned ami un
til conditions are changed a lower range
of values is to be expected temporarily.
Corn values have auffured a severe
decline, due in part to local sieculatlve
conditions. The salient points of
weakness In the market, however, hava
been the large receipts, enormous stocks
and the Insufficiency of the cash de
mand. The forward movement is now
falling off. Farmers have practically
ceased selling. The cash demand is
also improving and a stronger maikot Is
probable next week. Crop prospects
are unfavorable. Herlotia damage lias
occurred since the lust government re
port was compiled, and the next report
will show a very large decrease in the
estimated yield. Present values are
below the average for years past and in

self warrant butter values for com, but
in connection with the serious shortage
in the potato crop, etstimated at

that corn will be in greater xort de

Timothy grass Is often sown on
sandy soil, not beeauw; It Is especially
adapted to It, but because sandy soil
is not easily seeded with anything, aud
timothy, which can be sown late In
summer and all through the fall, suc
ceed rather better tlmu the grasses
and clovers sown in spring. All sandy
soils are deficient in mineral plant food.
Timothy does not require much, either
of phosphate or potash, until Its seeds
begin to form. It does not need one
quurter as much of these mlucru's or
of lime as does clover, aud as Its roots
run near the surface. It Is manured
chiefly by tbe ammonia gathered by
falling rains In their parsage through
the air. When once seeded with tlm-
otJhy, the grass will remain In sandy
soil until It is starved out, and musses
take its place. -
