In North Indianapolis 1.50") Transfers, 6; consideration $10,200 Experiments with the Soli. Philadelphia Record. The use of fertilizers with the view of procuring them at the lowest cost 13 the object of all farmers, yet it is safe to assert that a majority of them buy more substances that they do not require than of those that are needful, because th?y have never attempted to test their soils. The garden Is a suitable place to test fertilizers on different crops, as a greater variety of crops are grown in the garden, and also because only a short row may be devoted to each kind. It Is well, however, to make tests on plots In the fields for staple crops, on ground that has not been so highly manured as the garden soil. Experimental plots teach the farmer which fertilizers to buy, and which will serve his purpose best, thus enabling him to select the most desirable substances and to avoid loss by rejecting those not needed. On those farms where dairying is practiced and from which milk 13 sold daily a ltrge proportion of the nitrogen and phosphatD.s are sold with the milk, leaving the manure rich in potash, but deficient In the two substances named. If clover Is made a special crop in the rotation, the greatest requirement of th2 soil will be fhosphorlc acid; but farmers make an alowance for what they already possess, and consequently purchase potash or that which may be temporarily dispensed with, and fall to supply the soil with phosphoric acid, which would balance the plant rations, give larger yields, and lessen the expense of the fertilizers. If grain crops are grown and sold the land will give up a large share of potash also, and certain crops will demand more of one kind of j piam ioou man oiners. in;re is ro way oc arriving at a knowledge of what is lacking in the soil except to make practical tests with different fertilizers, uslni: them singly. and in combination, on different crops. Judicious us? of fertilizers will reduce the cost by increasing the yield, as but little more labor will be required for a good crop than for the one that Is poor. Iu;t year a fruit grower, on light sandy ground in New Jersey, applied fifty pounds of a mixed fertilizer on one-eighth of an acre of strawberries (at the rate of 400 pounds per acre), the cost of the fifty pounl3 bfing 80 cents. He picked, during the season, 500 quarts more than he secured from an ordinary plot of the same arra, nnd of the same variety, which he sol J ot 3 cents a quart, or $25. The cost of the fertilizer in that case was but a trifle compared with the difference In yield. The crop that received no fertilizer succumbed to the drought, because the plants had an insuificlent supply of food, and really produced but Httl?. while the inferior berries sold at a sum that barely paid expenses. Farmers cannot afford to discard fertilisers unless they have a large supply of well-rotted manure, and nothing pays as well as plenty of plant food; but to buy fertilizers intelligently a farmer must experiment in order to learn just what his soil requires. A Movable Fence. Philadelphia Inquirer. There is hardly any investment which will pay better on most farms than one hundred to two hundred rods of movable fence. It will take the place of other fences, and after two or three years' ue most farmers will be inclined to dispense with .all other fencing material. The cost of Inclosing a farm and of running division fences through it is usually as great as the cost of tne necessary farm buildings. It is very rarely that a fence will remain In good condition for so long a period as fifteen years. The cost of repairing them, of constant repairing, and of the injury to crops by relying on poor fences often makes the most burdensome tax our farmers have to bear. The way to avoid this is to do awav with every unnecessary fence, and to use movable ones as much as possible where they are absolutely needed; but if we will look at the matter quarely we will lind we do not need as many fences as we have been accustomed to think we do.

WHEAT ROSE 3 CENTS Panic in the Chicago Pit and Lonsrs Refused to Sell Out. Sensational Move of the Lcailinsr Cereal Communicated to the Other Pits with Everything Higher. CHICAGO, March 23. Wheat treated the bears to a pyrotechnlcal display to-day, shooting up 3 cents within the first hour of the session. The cold wave caused a wild stampede of shorts to cover, and although the offerings became free at the advance. May closed only c from the top, scoring a gain since yesterday of 2c. The trading was unusually heavy. Corn and oats were both firm and a little higher. Provisions were a.galn very strong and scored a further good-sized advance. Wheat surprised even its warmest friends when It took a Jump of 3 cents and appeared to feel quite comfortable at the height it had reached. It was wholly due to the effect of the weather that the market woke to an activity to which It has be-en long a stranger. For half an hour, although there was decided firmness, there were yet no signs of the wild scrambling and whoops and yells for wheat which, a little later, made the carpenter's temporary scaffolding with which the hall is filled quiver with sympathetic excitement. The price for May at the opening was 5Sc, which, compared with yesterday's resting price, showed a gain of c. It rose gradually under a good demand from I G. Logan & Co., Boyden & Co., Kennett-Hop-ins, Lamson Brothers, and other commission houses until It had got to 59c, when, In an Instant, 60c was bid. Sellers practically withdrew, and the cries of the shorts as they bid In quickly ascending Jumps of '.ic at a time became piteous. Before relenting holders gave heed to those cries 61c was bid and paid for May. July, in the same time, rose from 60c at the opening to 63VsC The prediction of warmer weather to-night, following on the prevailing blizzard, and that warmer weather to be immediately succeeded by a severely cold wave was the occasion of the alarm which the advance indicated. The usual market news was not of a sensational character, but in the main favored the bulls. Foreign markets were rather apthetlc and for the most part weak. There was a general covering by the local shorts. Parrett, Cudahy, Captain Phillips, Brandt, Walker and the other nimble runners among the bearishly inclined home talent took in deep draughts of short wheat. A good deal of long wheat was sold out when the shorts were in their anxious mood. Perhaps the biggest seller of wheat, which had a good prolit attached to It, was J. C. Schwartz, who figured so successfully a few months ago on the short side of corn. lie sold out not less than 2.000,000 bushels, having about 2c per bushel attached to it, making him about $40,000. One broker sold for him 5o0,00i bushels of the lot in ten minutes' time. The elevator men got badly scorched. They sold July wheat on the first little advance, expecting to depress May thereby. The price, arter the early razzle, fluctuated between 60c and 61Hc for May. The price of May was fluctuating In the balance at from COT&c to 61c In the last fifteen minutes, and the closing quotation was 6o"c or 2?ic higher than at the end of yesterday's session. The corn deal was helped by wheat, but it did not enthuse very much. Liverpool was quoted firmer and somewhat higher, and receipts here were only 96 cars. Those bullish points were of seme assistance in starting the price of May at Vc advance, compared with yesterday's resting price. The bullishness of wheat caused a further advance of c, bringing the price of May uo from 37'ic. at the opening, to 377ic. but the superior attractiveness of wheat emptied the corn pit. The closing price was at the highest notch of the day. Early lh the session trading in oats was active, but after the market had fallen off slightly the demand slackened and only a very small amount of business was done from that tlm up to the close. The firmness was mainly due to sympathy with corn. May opened steady at 314c, sold up to 3134c, and declined to SU-jHTlc. It was offered at that price at the close. The provision market promised to be the csr.ter of attraction at the opening. The biggest crowd was congregated there, but wheat drew them off, although Interest in the hog products was well maintained by the regular 'traders In those goods. The market was again strong, and prices considerably higher. Hogs were quoted from 5c to 10c higher at the yards. Packers- r.nd shcrts were the buyers, and some rather lively reactions were occasioned by the realizing of longs. May pork closed 20c higher. May lard closed with a gain on the day of .10c and ribs of ,15c. Estimated receipts for to-morrow were: Wheat. 22 cars; corn, 1C0 cars; oats, 170 cars; hogs, 30,000.

Boston Transcript. Now that snowdrops and crocuses are up, don't forget to sharpen the pruning knife and give all the shrubs, vines and fruit trees which have not before received the attention a vigorous treatment always excepting, of course, that class of spring flowering things, especially the forsythia, which needs all the new growth it has brought over for the forthcoming display. The roses particularly should bt well looked over now, all weak and diseased wood cut out, and the bearing stems shortened to give symmetry to the bush and to concentrate its strength upon a select number of blossoms. Nowhere does the use of the knife pay better than upon the currant and the grap The latter.especlally, is a rampant grower, needing careful e.nd Judicious cutting-In to Fecure the very best results. The vineyard1st who restricts his vines to very little wood and persistently pinches them through the summer is the one who can tantalize you in autumn with large, fine bunches. The currant, too, is an enterprising woodproducer, and has a tendency to run up to long spindling stems, which, as they grow older and the fruit sets higher and higher, bend over and drag It in the dirt. To obviate this, some of the older wood, which constantly works to the outside as it matures should be cut away each year, and the new growth, which pushes up from he center, encouraged. This keeps the bushes constantly renewed with a fresh short growth, able to stand up under its load of fruit, which will also be better and cleaner than from very old top-grown wood.
