WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Office of Downing, Hopkins & Co., Chicago
Board oi Trade Brokers, 711-714 Ch amber ol Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.
In describing the local conditions of
the Chicago wheat market for Decem
ber delivery it is simply a matter of
opinion whether to assert the market
is manipulated or not. The latter
supposition is the more reasonable.
Stocks of oontract wheat have been ex
hausted by the unprecedented expert
and interior demand. High values ob
taining have induced speculative short
sales, with the resulting condition of a
constantly oversold and congested mar
ket. Granting all of which to be true,
the general conditions which ordinarily
control values are so extremely favor
able to high prices that it is a matter
of great doubt as to whether specula
tion has played any important part in
advancing and maintaining values.
Export clearances of wheat and flour
for. the week have been large. The ex
port demand continues urgent and
promises to increase rather than di
minish. Stocks at market centers
show but a small increase for the season
compared with previous yearB, al
though the forward movement of the
crop has been unusually large. Reoeipts
at primary points are beginning to fall
off, and it is becoming more and more
apparent that the spring crop of the
Northwest has been over-estimated.
The continued drought assures only a
moderate acreage seeded to winter
wheat, and that under favorable condi
tions. Crop advices from Argentine
oontinue conflicting and contradictory.
Advices from Australia assert that
their orop will be below an average and
give no surplus for export. . France
continues to buy wheat freely. From
all reports, publio and private, it is a
certainty that European stocks are un
usually small and European require.-
ments abnormally large. The prospeot
for the immediate future seems to fully I
warrant present values for wheat, and
should any disaster overtake the Argen
tine crop it is probable that they will
be fully maintained if not materially
advanced during the balance of our crop
year. .
The situation regarding corn values
shows a decided improvement during
the week, although still possessing ele
ments of radical weakness. Stocks, al
ready larger than ever before recorded,
show no immediate signs of decreasing.
On the other hand, the cash demand,
both for home consumption and ex
port, shows a gratifying increase; Val
ues are now 15 cents per bushel below
an average for the last ten years, and
the new crop is certainly below an av
erage in yield. There is little to war
rant a decline in supplies.

Feeding; Pen for Hogs.
Where hogs are fed near the house or
barn, the fowls are apt to go among
them and eat a large portion of the
feed. An Indiana farmer has solved
the problem by constructing a feeding
pen so that the hogs and pigs could go
In and out at pleasure, but fowls of all
kinds were excluded. In the Orange
Judd Farmer he tells how It is made.
Build a, feeding floor several inches
above the surface of the ground and
inclose with a tight board fence sur
mounted with pickets a foot or more
long. Make one or more openings near
the ground lor tne nogs ana nang a
door, a, from the top so that it will
swing pretty freely either way. Leath-
er straps or hinges that work easily
will answer. The hogs will soon learn
to go back and forth, but fowls will
fiot enter. If there are two sizes of
hogs, make a partition and in it con
struct a small swinging door just large
enough to admit the smaller pigs.
A Good Old Rotation. ' - ' '
The siyear rotation so long followed
in this section, the Shenandoah Valley,
has some strong points in its favor.
The crops during the six years are In
this order: Corn, followed by wheat,
the ground being harrowed and the
wheat drilled in. Immediately after
the wheat is cut the next year, the
ground Is plowed thoroughly, prepared
by harrow and roller, and sowed again
to wheat, this time accompanied with
about a bushel of timothy to six acres
and the same quantity of clover in the
early spring. Then three crops of hay
are mowed, making the six years. Very
often four crops of hay are made.'
I have not counted the second crop of
clover usually cut and hulled for seed
the first, season. Since Western seed
generally can be bougtit at low prices,
many think it better to pasture, or cut
this second clover for cows. It will be
noticed that this rotation, running six
years, calls for plowing only twice dur
ing that time, and gives three crops of
uay, which we think pays better than
other crops. Farmers who follow this
old-time way are not getting rich, but
they are probably holding their own
about as well as others who follow
newer and shorter -plans. Try all and
hold fast to that which is good, Is not
a bad motto.-'-Amerlcan Agriculturist.
New Destroyer of Fruit.
Re-enforcements to the seventeen
year locusts, the gypsy moth, the
browntail moth and all the rest of the
busy army of fruit
destroyers are to
be found In vast
quantities In the
"San Jose scales."
The San Jose scale
takes its name, not
the san josb scale fr()m the locality
to which it confines its depredations,
but to the one in which it first ap
peared. Since it made its debut in Cali
fornia It has shown an impartial fond
ness for every part of the Union. Flor
ida has not been too warm for it and
Massachusetts has pleased. New Jer
sey has not escaped and the Pacific
coast as far as British Columbia has
appealed to it. The scale, though ap
pearing only recently, has evidently
spent several decades In preparing to
descend upon the world. It is a micro
scopic insect, which pierces the green
bark of the tree with its proboscis and
sucks the sap. It has, doubtless with
an eye to this age of germicide solu
tions, rendered spraying an infested
tree useless, because it has a scaly cov
ering which remains on the bark of the
tree or the skin of the fruit and which
acts as an armor against such weapons
as washes. Fruit infested by the scale
Is unmarketable.'
Government Seed Shop.
Last spring the Department of Agri
culture distributed, at a cost of $130,
000, enough seeds of all kinds to plant
an area of 355 square miles, or 227,200
acres. Now, if there were some way of
finding out just how many acres were
actually planted with these seeds, and
how much the crop produced therefrom
Is worth In cash, we would probably
have a better argument than we can
produce now in favor of knocking the
Government seed business on the head.

the soil that has lately been disturbed.
The winter frosts will also penetrate
more deeply, and in a winter when
there is much freezing and thawing
will gradually lift the post up. If posts
are set in fall for a fence the boards
must be nailed on so as to keep the
posts from being twisted, so that they
must be reset before a fence can be
made.
Milk as Food on the Farm. '
To every city resident one of the ad
vantages of living in the country is that
those living there can easily secure
fresh and pure milk directly from the
cow. It Is a most valuable food pro
duct, whether used directly as milk or
cooked in custards and cakes, in the
various ways that milk and cream can
bei used. Probably most housewives
who have lived in the country find
when they remove to the city that the
absence of the best milk and' cream
which they used to have in abundance
was a stronger handicap to successful
cooking than anything else. At the
wholesale prices that are all tfiat milk
producers can get for milk it is a muoh
cheaper food than any other thaf comes
on their tables. If farmers ate more of
their milk product they would be better
off physically as well as financially.
What they then sold would probably
bring as much as does the larger por
tion that they sell now. -
Turnips Among; Corn.
There is no crop grown so easily and
with so ldttle cost as late-sown turnips
in a field of well cultivated corn. The
shade of the corn will keep the turnips
from growing much until the corn !s
cut. Possibly also their growth will
be checked by the demand of the corn
roots for plant food. , But In the Indian
summer that follows the first frost the
turnips will make rapid growth, as
they will then have all the land for
their own use. The turnip will endure
a pretty heavy frost, and grow again if
warm weather follows it. But in our
climate turnips cannot be left In the
ground all winter as they are In En
gland. ; 7
A Milk Strainer. -
One correspondent of the American
Agriculturist seems to think that a
wire screen In a milk strainer is not de
sirable, while an
other asserts that
if rightly placed
it will be found en-
tll-olv fifitlof atniv
In the illustration

Inches in diameter.
Place a piece of
muslin over the
neck at c and slip
the collar b over it.
A perfect strainer
is formed. The
cloth must be kept
perfectly clean. Each time the strainer
is used remove the cloth and wash it
thoroughly, scalding in boiling water.
Renew frequently, for it is less ex
pensive to get new cloths than to .run
the risk of tainted milk. Also scald the
wire screen at each washing and care
fully scrub the tin portion. ; '
Orchard and Garden.
Fruit trees or plants will not take
care of themselves. y
Grapes thrive best in well-cultivated
and well-drained land. .
Having the orchard trimnied up
keeps the trees bearing well.
Cherry trees must be grafted early
if good results are expected. I
; Choose young, - thrifty trees?;) with
good roots and straight, clean tops.
Annual pruning largely avoids the
necessity for removing large limbs.
No fruit repays judicious pruning
and trimming better than the pear,.
' Make quality rather than quantity

All trees that have roots or tops
bruised or mangled should be discard

In setting out a tree, save some of
the top soil, especially to put around
the roots. ' '
It is not a bad plan to plant trees
along the roadside the whole length of
the farm. -
Nectarines and apricots can be
grown anywhere that the peach or
prune will thrive well.
Mulching prevents the early flow of
sap by preventing the ground from
warming up too soon.

WHY SO MAtfY EEGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL '
To Cure Female 111b Soma True
. Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
Is More Sucoesful Than
the Family Doctors.
A woman is sick; some disease pecu
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi
cian and tells him a story, but not th
whole story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that th
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame the womai, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even to
her family physician. .
Tt was for this reason that veara
ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.,
determined to step in and help he
sex. Having had considerable e:
perience in treating, female ills wit
her Vegetable Compound, she encour
aged the women of America to write
to her for advice in regaia to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are tho
grand results of her experience. 1 ,
There are 71,000 more women than
men in, the state of Massachusetts, and
this excess is all in persons over 14. '
