ritth In the Milk.
Milkmen dfpeliil too liilli-h upon the
hi miner for removing tilth from milk.
Any siiliKiaiiee tbat iIIm-hIvis In the
milk will pass through the ot iiilu.r
with the milk. If Milt is involved In
water and smred through a strainer, '
It Is well known that the sah will be
pri-sent In the water after the prongs '
of straining. In the face of this fait.!
so plain to all, full reliance Is placed
on the strainer to perform an Iuihiks. ,
hlllty. There Is nearly always tilt li onj
the teats or udder when a cow has'
been In her Mall over night, and. while'
the strainer may an est the solid r
tii.ns of the manure from reaching the
milk, yet the mine, tilth on the hands
of the milkers, and even fine dust, will
pass Into the pall. The remedy Is to
wash the hands Is-fore milking mid
also the udder nihl teats of the cows.
Kln rlnu Orspe Vln'-m
The fact that cutting a ring through
the sap wood of the current year's
growl Ii, so as to check its return, will
both Increase the size and hasten the
ripening of grapes. Is well understood
by most grape growers. Yet wherever
the fruit will ripen naturally It should
be left to do so, as Its duality Is Hot
nearly so good when It Is ripened by
the ringing process. A better way Is to
divert sap to the fruit by stopping the
growth of all the outer shoots. This
will Improve the quality, and cause
atiler ripening. The grapes will not
look so well as those that have been
ripened by ringing the vines. Itut they
w ill create a demand fur more, which
the ringed grape w ill not.
I'ercilltary Taste.
There can be little doubt that the Ilk-:
lug for certain kinds of food Is hcreill-1
tary. Fifty or sixty years ago uolioily
had a natural liking for either tomatoes
or celery. Now a great many people
are Isirn with Ihls taste, or at least have .
the liking for these vegetables In all ;
their forms so soon as they can eat any
kind of victuals. It may In- In such
cases that It is the mother who Influ
ences her unborn offspring to a liking i
for certain fisids. This Is Indeed tliei
way In which most hereditary Inllii-!
cures are trmismittcu. me moiiier
rather than the father Is always the j
most Important factor as regards likes ,
or dislikes, while the male parent latin-
nces the physical form more than does
the mother. !
l et thi Hops Hlp-n.
The weight and value of hops In
crease very fast towards the lust of the
ripening. It Is then that the germ fer
tilization of the hop by the male blos
som makes Its most rapid progress. It
Is this which gives the aroma and
flavor which makes the hop valuable.
Yet every year many hops are picked
before tills maturity Is obtained. It Is
usually done to save the crop from
storms, which may Is-at down the vines
and Injure the hops. Hut It Is lictter to
ii Ihls risk, and have hops to sell
w hich have 1 n fully rtp-neu. i ne
others may look all right, mu me ev
porlenced hop picker will priTer tliu
mature hops every tine.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
0nli.. ll..,.kln. ,,,,., (.w

The leading feature of the market
1'irinit the w.-k but been the rapid
iil..i,l, n.-e .,( tH. speculation that in
part cause. I tl rke,l ai.d mi.l.lcn ad
vance in values. The market is now
once more iim plane of action w licit
"ipplics n, demand can be exi-ected
to exert tlie controlling influences.
The forward movement of the winter
wheat crop has been f.iirly large and is
now almut to be supplemented by in
freeing receipts of sptingwlie.it." Cp
Io tile present time export cleai.in.es
bae 1,1-,-n sullicicntly large not only to
prevent any increase, but to cause a" .le-
crease, in available Mocks that Were aU j
iea.lv reduced uliiiost to depletion. Tim i
u lvan.e.l values have checked export '
sales, and we may, with the larger rt- I
'eipts in the near future, look for in- i
creasing Mocks at centers nf accumula
tion. Si, while the general situation
remains as strong us ever, the advance
appears over for the time Ifiug, or at
least until the foreigneis Hgain become
large buyers of w heat.
In corn the week lias resulted in some
marked changes. A large crop is no
longer anticipated by anyone, and the
only question is bow small it may
prove. We are justified, from all the
information obtainable, in claiming
that the early planted Corn promises
well nnd is practically beyond damage
from frost. The planted corn is ill an
entirely different nsition. Cn.lcrtlie
most favorable weather conditions it
can make nothing but nubbins and fod
der. The final result promises not
more than two thirds of a crop, and
frost w ithin the next two weeks might
further reduce the vield.
T'ic advanced values for wheat have
attracted sp.rul.ttitoii to corn ii'id re
sulted in some improvement in values.
A still further advance would have
taken place had it not been for the
enormous receipts of corn sold to arrive
before the extent of damage to growing
crop had become known. Since then
farmers have ceased selling freely and
receipts next week promise to be much
smaller. The market, relieved of the
selling pressure for country account,
suplsirte.l by an excellent cash demand,
promises, with the aid of the increas
ing speculative support, to advance still
further.
