The operators were like well matched contestants tn a wrestling bout, first one and then the other party beinz uppermost and the yi tory ic the end was a narrow one, bat such as it was rested with the bulls. Wheat for May delivery is higher than at the close of the market on Saturday. A fair amount of steadiness was the first characteristic of the trading followed in a few minutes by decided weakness. The price for May at the start was 97c, with plenty of sellers at 97c, with a lightn.n transformation to 97?aC and as quick a change to 97c, 97c and down to D6)ie before buyer predominated. The fluctuations here noted occupied the first baif hour of the session. The predominating influence at the opening was the cold wave harrying hrtherward from the Northwestern storm reservoir, and this was succeeded by the easy wheat market at Liverpool and the expectation of not over 200,000 bo. decrease in the o2Ici&l visible supply. But the chief disturbing factor to holders near the opening was the heavy receipts at primary markets. Cautious local speculators were indisposed to ell abort after a week's decline aggregating 5c pr bn. and easily persuaded tnemselves when prices began to recover from the break noted above that the least dangerous operation was to buy "for a tarn." The local crowd was encouraged in the above conclusion by a good many outside buying orders, and before they called a halt the prices of May wheat bad advanced to VJsCadSc. Early in the day Linn, Cud shy and Fardridge were the sellers most prominent and persistent, but covered on the break. At the highest price the prominent speculators named were sellers onoe mors, and tee crowd wss with them. Bloom bought heavy on the f.rst advance, and at 97)40 he was bidding only for a quarter of a million. Fiom 97n98o for May there was a rapid decline, commencing after the visiMe supply was posted and H,''o was reached with every appearance of a further break, when it was whispered around that Liverpool stocks had decreased ti00,000 bushels in a week, and the crowd, having sold iuelf short, acrmin became alarmed, and in their eCorta to clear themselves, the price shot np in five minutes tn 97?c. The opening strength of wheat made first trades in eorn close to the latest quotations of tatorday. Way opened at 53o with sales at Wc and also at 530. Trere were a few sales soon after at h?W') 53c, and these were followed by m slump of lie, and after an interval of trading aroand 63c, weakness became the predominating featare of the deal and when a little later the receipts for tomorrow were estimated at 473 cars the market lost all rallying power gad was unheld odr by coveriag' purchases cy

those previously short as prices gradually shrank. The lowest price on the decline was 53 a, and at the close sellers were oSerin; it at b2)ie, or ?c lawer than on Saturday. Oats attracted comparatively little a'tention. the market beinz rather dull, with moderate trading in ail the active fa to res. Milmine-Bodman and Hehwartz-Du pee were th. prineibal sellers, the buying being scattered. The provision trade was scarcely prepared for receipts of 60,000 hogs which was the number the early advices from the yards announced. Later the receip's were even further increased 2,O0. There was a ruia to sell at the opening, pork standing 15c under Saturday's closing figures and lard and ribs at a decline of 10c These prices were too tempting to be resisted by the shorts and consequently there was a rally and a steadier feeling after the first few minutes and in the course ct the day a recovery which left the loss to speculative holders measuring it by the closing priees of today and Saturday, only 2j'c ou pork, 5o on lard and on ribs. The estimates of the receipts of hojrs for tomorrow are 45.000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows:

Keferrin: to the monetary situation, the Finawiaf Vi' of Henry Clews says: During the past week the tone of a''airs in Wall-st. haa shown distinct signs of improve ment. The "bear" eleturnt has been more cautious, and some proutineut operators on that side have narrowed their risks while others openly acknowledge tbt the drift is against them. Tlie forces on the "bull'' side are leathering strength and numbers, and some cf the inoii noted lenders of speculation are beginning to marshal themselves for an upward campaign. This change of tone can hardly be snid to have been the result of anything new of decided importance in the actual situation. It has been some gain that, as the contest between the two tides on the silver question develops, the chances of the pro-silver j'arty being defeated (at least for the present session) decidedly improve; and although some desperate expedients may till be adopted by the mining interests, yet their ultimate defeat seems very probsbie. This has no doubt helped the tone of the market quite materially; for the possibility of the enactment of free coinage has had a more seriously damaging ettect upon confidence in hieh quarters tnau is generally apprehended. Ire bank of England was prepared to pay its ', GX) loi.n from the bank of France when she reduced her rate to 3 per cent., and the yues'tion there of 1 per cent, in money iu the opn market, in the close prosrtct of such an important withdrawal trom the bank, shows how extreme the ease in London must be. The uncertainty as to the final disposal of the free coinage rroTemect is at the moment, a serious draw baok upon London buying our stocks: but in the event of the defeat of S'lver legislation London buying ii likely to ei;ume a volume that will surprise Wall-st, and prove a treat stimulus to prices of both storks and bond. llr.NKY CLETYn The Ieal markets are in good shape and today wrb principally unvoted to looking after mail ordure, v.Mchwera numerous.

INDIANA FARMING SYSTEM.

THE NECESSITY OF A REFORMATION. A Practical Taper ty Ceemopolttaa Some General Farm Hints Hints about Ttreakfast and a lladget of Valaabl Keclpee. The time has now coma when the farmers of Indiana ehould shake themselves loose from the fetters of oldtimeiem, if we may coin a word to express our meaning that is they should seek some other means of making their farming more proiitable than it has been of late years, add not content themselves with tamely following out year after year the same system that they and their forefathers before them have followed, tbe profits from which have become more and more precarious, often affording but scant remuneration for their unceasing toil, for a farmer's work is never finished; he can never eay, well all my work is over for the next few weeks or days and I can take a vacation. N'o, there is no vacation for a farmer ; each day brings its ct n task ; thero ia always tome work to be pushed. What are tho main causes which have led to this condition of affairs amongst our farmers? Well they are many, but the principal ones are: The lands under culti alien are becoming unable to arrow croja without the aid of artificial or farm yard manure; second, the unfavorable lessons which ar-a becoming so frequent of late years, due as many believe, to the enormous extent of timber lands cleared every year by ax and by fire, which has been proven beyond ull'doubt to be the cause of droughts and floods one almost as undesirable as the other. (31 The competition of the East Indies and other countries Russia more particularly in tha production of wheat and corn for the Furopean markets. These are, we believe, tho three jrreatestopix.nents to the prosperitof our farmers. It would be well to call vour readers' attention here to what has been done in France and the F.ast Indies for the protection of their forests, and which has had, particularly in the case of the former country, such a beneficial effect upon the seasons, in their relation to successful agriculture. It was found in certain districts in France, where thre had been wholesale de.-truction of forests tho timber being used for fuel, for making charcoal, and for building and manufacturing purposes that the seasons which beiore had been 6o suitable fur agricultural purposes had become entirely changed, tho most notable feature of such changes being the almost entire absence, not only of rainfall, but of all moisture, during the summer months. The government, seeing tho necessity for interference on its part, in order to prevent what had hitherto been some of tho best land in Franco for the growing of crops and France is above all other countries dovoted to the cultivation of the soil becoming almost worthless framed laws for not only the reiorrestinfof the denuded lands, but also fur the care of the standing timber of the country. The substance of the laws was to the efTect that the lands were to be replanted which had been cut down, and this applied not only to the state forests (the state owns about one-third of all the forest lands), but to private property also; and for every tree to be herealter cut down a young tree was to replace it to be planted. Not only were crops ruined by droughts and floods, but it was found that the soil from the hilf-s'opea and valleys was in many instances washed away by the rainstorms and floods. Th rivers, too, were subject to sudden overdowings of their banks, causing great destruction to property of all kinds. It was in 18tX that the laws now governing the care of the forest lands were promulgated, though long before that they were subject to state sutervision, but still the destruction had continued and further legislation was deemed necessary, fcince then there has been extensive planting principally in the southern parts of France particular attention being paid to the planting of hill-elopes, and about the headquarters of some of the rivers whose overflowings were attributed to the deforesting of tho district- from w hich they took their rise. Even in the short epaeo of fifteen years it was found that the reforesting had already produced most beniScent climatic changes. In tbe case of one river, in particular, called the Durance, which was formerly the most dangeroua in the country from the destruction caused by its sudden and frequent overflowing of its banks, it has now, owing to judicious planting at its head-waters and along its banks, entirely lost its former reputation, and in 1S74, when other rivers were doing so much damage to propertv, owinc to the creat floods caused by their oterflowmg their banks, this river gave no cause for anxiety. In the East Indies for centuries the most wanton destruction of forests had taken place, largo tracts had become arid wastes owinii to the lack of rainfall, and even in districts where the evils of deforesting had not become so provoked, yet frequent droughts, which caused terrible tamine amongst the inhabitants, owing to the failure of their crops, decimated them again and again, until in ImU the government of India took the forests under iU control and formed a special department with an inspector general of forests. It also founded a college for the special education of young men iu forestry. Not ;only did it undertake the care and management of all within the boundaries of P.ritish India, but to save tho many splendid forests situated in tho territories of native states, governed by native rulers, from destruction it leased these forests for long terms of years, paying annually a fixed rent for the same. Not only has the government succeeded in preserving tho then existing forest lands, and ia rapidly reforesting such districts as had suffered most by the baring of the lands originally covered with trees, but it has made it a source of income from tho profits obtained bv sales ot timber firewood, etc., though each year there is a large sum expended upon improvements n the shape of roads and fences. What with irrigation and reforesting, immense tracts of land in portions of India, that were almost valueless, supporting a sparse population of famine-riudea people, are now as fertile as any in that country, growing splendid crop rendering famine impossible, or at least improbable. We have thus dwelt at length upon this subject because wo believe it ia one of vital inijortanco to all, but more eniecia!ly to the farmer, and in no country in the world has legis'ation for the protection of our forests become more necessary than in the United States. Few are aware, perhaps, that most probably before the expiration of the next thirty years or so w e will have to import timber from Canada forborne consumption. There is more wasted and destroyed by fires, which conservation would almost entirely prevent, than is cut down for home use and exportation. Each state bhould have an inspector of forests, one who has had special training to suit him for the oflice, and every farmer should be iuduccdj if possible, to plant more or less ground in trees every year for the threefold object of providing for the judicious sheltering of his farm, the regulation of

the rainfall in his district and as a source of supply for his own U!e and for sale in the future. Such planting would cost but little each year and in course of time add much to the Belling value of his property. But to return to the subject which we desire more particularly to treat of in this communication, viz: What means should our farm?rs adopt in order to insure the profits to be derived from their lands in the future, and make them less dependent upon the seasons a bad or unfavorable season for the crops meaning no profit, yet their labor must be almost as much bestowed upon a poor crop as upon a good one. The remedy that we venture to propose, to use a homely old saw, is nut to nave all their ezgs in one basket, that is, not to confine themselves almost entirely, as they now do, to the raising of grain crops, but to very materially lessen the quantity of land they have under cultivation and go iu for the breeding and fattening of sheep and cattle lor the markets. Every year now makes the assistance of a ferti.izer either artificial or farm-yard more a necessity, therefore adding to his expenses and consequently lessening his profits. But as he has to have such an aid to the soil, it is far better he should manure and ti'u ten acres really well than twenty acres imperfectly. It will pay him better hile only taking a less amount of work to cultivate and care for. Iet each farmer content himself with, say onethird the quantity of land now under cultivation and place the remainder on grass. Now, if he has made up his mind to go in for htock-rai?ing a very imjrortant question ari.-es. Which is the most suitable breed of cattle and sheep to select from. Tho most suitable is that breed experience has proven to be the most easily fed while attaining maturity in the shortest space of time, and carrying at the same time the greatest weight of meat. The writer has had experience in stock raising, not only in Ireland, but in the West Indies, Ruenos Ay res, and finally in Indiana; so his views are not theories gained from books or journals, but actual experience is his mentor. In his opinion the Durham breed of cattle is the most suitable for the Indiana farmer to commence with. This breed is a good milker yielding a good proportion of butter, and is easily fed. These cattle have this advantage, that while the' carry a good weight of meat upon them when fat they finish at an earlier age than most cattle. They are, also very gentle and Kood tempered no small advantage upon a small farm. All these good qualities toint toward the Durham as the breed that would bring in tho inobt profit, because the returns will be more speedy than they would be from any other breed of cattle. Now as to the best kind of sheep for the farm. To start in with the writer pronounces for the Lineolns. He has tried or seen tried nearly every known breed of sheep, including the" Rambullet and Myrette, but his experience has taught him that for wool aud for meatthereis nothing like the Lincoln sheep. He has seen theyearling Lincoln sheep allogget, os we called them in the old country whose wool measured fourteen inches in length and tho fleece weighed nine pounds of well-washed wool A Lincoln ewe is a food breeder, has plenty of milk for its lamb, and the latter can be nut on the market earlier than most Iambs of other breeds. On small farms where the number of 6heep might not exceed lilt v or sixty head, they could be housed ami" fed like pigs, as they may be trained to eat all the refuse from the farmer's kitchen, flesh meat excepted. Then, too, if a man is able to house his calves he can have lambs fit for marketing a month or two earlier than the usual time, and he can command nearly double the usual price for tfiem in such an event. We have no hesitation in saying that the farmer who carries out the system of farming a niened one, he will make more money than he has done under the old time one of putting c very available acre under cultivation. Then and this is of much more importance to him, he will bo much less dependeut upon either the seasons or the grain market, the latter being almost ae variable as the former and as little to be relied upon. Again, he will always have momey coming in to him. At one time he will have his grain for which be will get a much better price than before, because of better grain, owing to superior cultivation. At another he will have some fat lambs, or his wool, then will come in the money for the sale of his fat cattle and so on. It seems to the writer that on consideration the farmer cannot fail to see the truth of the arguments put forth here for the proposed change in his system of farming. With the system advocated the farmer and his family w ill no longer be so tied down to the working of his lands as he is now; he will have more time for recreation, mental and bodily. There is no reason why his life should be ns it is now, a regular tread-mill sort of existence, one unnecessary round of labor from year's end to year's end. A few months ago the writer spent two weeks' at a farm-house about sixty miles from this city. The proprietor w as wealthy, owned several hundred acres of good land, and he and his good w ife mu.-t have been well on the wrong side of seventy years. Their children had married and settled on farms in close proximity to tho old homesteed. Yet these old folks were up at o o'clock every morning. Breakfast was at ( o'clock sharp, and they toiled all day he in the field tilling the soil, and she about the house and garden. They worked as long as there was daylight ; they would not rest even a half hourafter meals. They had too much to do; even on the Sabbath day there was work to t9 done cows to be milked, horses to be fed, and so on ; always in a hurry to get some work complete, yet their work was never done. And thus had they to do all the time, and would continue to do as long they could keep on their feet A ride to church on Sunday a church fair or the yearly trip to the city their only recreation. Of course they had hired help to assist them, but it was with them work, work, always work. There is no reason why a farmer's life ehould be so monotonous, ho full of hard work and above all so unceasing. If they w ill, as the writer has sail before, but cast aside the fetters of oldtimeism and adopt the Mened system of farming they will make more money, have but one-third of the amouut of work that is now a necessity with them, and their lives will be so much more pleasant and cheerful. They will have time for self-culture, they will live more like men who iiave something more to live for than a mere subsistence. Efp M. r. S. Your correspondent will bo most happy to reply to any queries addressed to tho editor of this journal as to the care and management of the breeds of cattle and sheep the introduction of which he advocates on the farms of Indiana, or as to the proper treatment of such, if suffering frum any disease or ailment. HINTS ABOUT BREAKFAST.

Slake the First Meal or the Day Very Pleasant. Breakfast ought to be made a very pleasant meal, beginning tho day, as it does, alter tho family have been separated for the night, says the Boston HwJ'jrt. Yet in how many families is it the custom to send oli the master of the house to his daily round of business with an unsatisfied feeling after partaking of a hunied, uncomfortable meal, composed mainly of the remains of yesterday h dinner, warmed over in any way most easy to tho cook, w ithout seasoning, and altogether unpalatable. I am not finding fault with the materials for the breakfast, but with tho manner of

preparing and aerting. By all means ue at breakfast what ia lft irom dinner the day before, but cook it carefully, season it appetizingly, serve it prettily, and have it hot, smoking hot, not merely warm, tiive your cook to understand that she must le down in tbe morning in time to get ready the breakfast with as much care as she bestows upon the dinner. Be dow n yourself at the moment of dishing it, to eee to its being served temptingly. If summer, and your tome is in the country, have always a few llowers on th breakfast-table no matter w hat you do at other meals. Even a few daisies or clover blossoms with the dew still on them lend a grace that is pleasing. Jf winter have highly colored fruit if possible, such as oranges. If your purse cannot allord this see that at least the silver is shining, the coffee-pot bright and tbe tal.de has an air of warmth and comfort. An aid to this is a red tablecloth in winter, but be sure that it is clean and spotless. Do not allow it to bo left on tLe table between meals, but substitute a different one for this purix9e.

tieneml Farm flints. i Give the colt a good mess of ground oats twice a day if you wish him to grow ' fast and develop. An anim:il raided on a farm is always more valuable than one purchased, and it does not introduce disease. Poultry droppings should be mixed with the manure from animals, and it will then keen better and give better results. Begin now and scatter air-slaked lime around the grape vines, first cleaning un all the debris of last year, and you will thus assiat in preventing the rot nest season. In this section young pigs will get a good start for spring if kept warm, and will grow rapidly as soon aa the weather opens, but they will need care during the cold days. Your fine spring of pure, delicious water may drain a graveyard a long distance away. Always endeavor to know something about the drinking water, and w hence it comes. Asa safeguard against the borer some fruit growers use fine wire mosquito netting, wrapping1 a small piece around the body of the tree a few inches above and below the soil. Large crops are grown at less cost than email crops, as Jthe same iabor of cultivation is required in both cases, while the extra manure that may be applied will either increase the crop or remain in the soil for another season. Corn land should be plowed early, in order to expose the cutworms, and the seed should be plantsi as soon 83 the season permits. A week's earlv start with corn gives it an advantage in ecurine root growth and resisting the effects of drought. Old strawberry beds are mulched when the ground is frozen, and then burned over clean. It does not harm the plants, but clears off the ground and causes the plants to come up in better condition in the spring. It is a method now highly recommended by some fruit growers. A New York farmer raised an acre of sunflowers for seed and found that tho seed was an excellent addition to grain for the use of hogs aud poultry, a small mill being used to grind it for hog. Tbe stalks made excellent kindling-wood and the heads and seeds were ground together. A herd of eighteen cows in Vermont froduced 1(2 pounds of butter per year or each cow. Tho amount is not a large one, compared with the records of noted cows, but it is excellent for a herd, and shows what dairymen ran do by using well-bred cows and giving them proper care. If you cannot grind or pulverize the old bones you can reduce them by laying them in wood ashes and keening the mass damp (not wet). A small quantity of urine poured over the bones and ashes occasionally will hasten the decomposition of the bones. If you cannot do this bury the bones around the fruit trees and grape vines. Small potatoes, though not so attractive in market, are just as valuable on the farm as tuose that are large. They can be cooked and fed to cows, hogs or poultry, and will provide an agreeable change of food for them. If turnips are added to the potatoes and a small quantity of bran sprinkled over the mess the whole will be improved, as well as more highly relished. As the epring opens the orchards will require cultivation and fertilizers. The best fertilizers for all kinds of fruit crops are those abounding largely in potash, such as ashes ami muriate or sulphate of f iotaah. Pone meal is also excellent, and j nitrate of soda gives good results, espe cially on small fruits, but the most important ingredient of the fertilizer is potash in some form. Tbe farmer who does not breed up his stock and retain his calves for the dairy makes a mistake. One of the greatest sources of loss is the practice of buying fresh cows and selling off the dry ones. When a cow is bought nothing is know n of her until she is tested for her results. She may have many faults, and may bring disease into the herd. Abortion in some herds is due to this cause, aa it is known to be contagious. A well-bred cow, raised on the farm from healthy, productive stock, is more valuable than two animals purchased at random, and can be raised at less expense than to buy an inferior animal.

On Saturday night a mob battered a hols in the jail and six men went through the passage to kill Link Waggoner, tbe desperado recently captured and placed there for safe keeping. As soon as Link saw the six men were after Lim he began firing on them, having in his losselon two sixshooters. He shot two of the men in tbe arms, defied the whole number and held them at bav. The mob was composed cf E rav-haired men and strong younqr men. t seems that argoner had not been placed in a cell and did bis shooting; from the corridor, dodging in different apartments. In trying to pull optn the door of a fellow priconet's eel', tho latter caught the door with one hand to keep him out, w hen Waggoner drew a knife and cut off his lingers. The sheriff" says when placed in jail ho was searched and no weaions were found, about him, and it is supposed hLs friends furnished him with arms.
