The exports of wheat are very heavy. The low prices induce foreign countries to supply th-mrj?Ives early as possible, and if the price remains abnormally low for two or three more months we may find that our surplus Is entirely exhausted, and the stock remaining will command a good figure. The Sentinel is still of the opinion that its farm readers should not be In a hurry to market their wheat, and confidently hopes that they will get a substantial increase la price by holding. It is seldom that we advise any holding of farm products when they are ready for market, but vrhen we believe that there Is good reason to expect improved prices, our interest in the members of the farm circle Impel us to counsel them not to overload the market just now. The condition of wheat, considering both winter and spring varieties, when harvested was 74, against 85.3 in 102. The general average is the lowest since 1S85, when it was 72. The reported conditions from the correspondents for the principai wheat growing states are as follows: Ohio, 38: Michigan, 80: Indiana, $S; Illinois, 60; Wisconsin, 80; Minnesota, 63; Iowa, S3; Missouri, 61; Kansas. 42; Nebraska, 55; South Dakota, 66; North Dakota, 67; California. all; Oregon. 93; In the East, New York. 76; Pennsylvania, S3; Maryland. 9S: Virginia. 96, and Texas, 68. In the New England, eastern and most of the southern states the crop was harvested in good condition and the yield averaged well. The same can be said in Ohio. In Indiana the quality Is good, but the crop light, while in Illinois. Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska the. yield is small and of an inferior quality, much of it grading at No. 3 and under, and In some places Is reported to tie worthless. In the Dakotas the yield is licht, while the quality is generally good. In Iowa ami Wisconsin the winter variety yielded well and was of gowl quality, while the spring varietv yield was poor and of an inferior quality. In Minnesota the yield has been poor and not up to expectations, the quality generally good, with some complaint of shriveled gm in. In California and Oregon the quality of the grain is up to an average, and the yield has been good, except on lowland?, where it was generally damaged. The price of wheat is kept down by such mi.s:-epre5entutions as the following from the New York Commercial Bulletin: "It 13 within the past three years that farmers' organizations, formed for the express purpose f asserting what they consider their rights against all the rest of the community, have extended widely throughout the wheat growing region. One immediate effect of these organizations has been to deprive almost completely the official reports of the measure of accuracy and reliability to which they had formerly been entitled. This was not a mere coincidence. It must be remembered that the farmers themselves declared their intention to control as far as possible the markets for their principal products and also to control the sources of information regarding the past and prospective yield of such products. Organs supported by the money of the farmers were published, in which the farmers solemnly declared that their crops were far below the average and adjured each other to keen back their grain in the certainty of much higher prices. The officials charged with the duty of crop reporting In the several states were to a great extent brousrht within the influence of these organizations. Undoubtedly it is a fact, though It can not w?ll be proven, that a very Targe proportion of the correspondents upon whom the United States relies for infomnati'-'n were brought within the same influence. Favored by extraordinary circumstances, the farmers obtained high prices for their wheat for two years. They deceived the public so completely regarding crops that the market became overloaded with wheat. The conseouence has been an extraordinary depression, which has now lasted for a full year, and yet the same tactics are repeated in oihcial and other accounts of extraordinary decrease in yield. Monetary difficulties aggravated the depression to an even more serious degree. Concerning this I'bel upon farmers' organizatijn one journal says: "Is it necessary to convert the Al'iance. Grange and other fanners' organizations Into vast lying societies in order to account for these mistakes? In Is!") the estimated area in wheat was "G,0S7.154 acres. It would require an underestimate of less than one bushel per acre to account for the unexplained surplus carried over. The acreage its'-lf may hav? been underestimated enough to provide for a part or even the whole of extra yield. With a system of unpaid reporters, not enough of them, and no official resi r.risibility. it is not to be wondered at that crops are sometimes under or overestimated and it is not necessary to slander farmers' organizations to account for it. As a rule a small crop is always overestimated, and a large crop is underestimated." Some Facts About Alfalfa. There has been much inquiry about alfalfa. B. F. Johnson, a noted Illinois farmer, says: "My satisfactory experiments three years in succession, suggest that I report some essential details of management for" a crop pretty sure soon to be a leading one with those advanced farmers who recognize the necessity for the introduction of some forage crop that will successfully resist summer drougth. And first, as for the proper preparation of the land. The essential is that It has a rich soil, a parmeaile and well-drained sub?oll, and that soil and subsoil be completely free from the roots of perennial weeds and weed seeds of every kind. Thus the Ideal soil for an alfalfa crop would b a well-set blue-grass pasture, or new prairie from which the sward has been taken up and removed; the next best would be that piece of land which had ben put through so complete a soilstirring and summer-fallow as to mike It thoroughly clean and tllthy. So prepared, the seed should be sown a week or ten days beforo corn-planting time, at the rate of twenty pounds per acre if broad-casted and fifteen pounds if drilled. Under these circumstances, nothing need be done with the crop until the first blossoms appear anj the leaves begin to tum yellow. Then comes the essential of essential things to b done to insure success with alfalfa, and that Is to cut the herbage off Hush with the surface at once, no matter If the upright growth does not exceed three inches. Centuries of the repetition of the certain kird of treatment has made it imperative that the growth above ground be removed as soon as mature. The neglect to do this accounts for nine-tenths of the failures to grow it. A day or two after the first crop i3 cut a second one starts. and in a few weeks makes double the ! growth of the first: the third crop increases over the sevond, the fourth crop exceeds the third, and it Is the fourth year before the largest yield is obtained. "After the third or fourth year, something should be done to subdue the' weeds and grasses that sooner or later Invade the alfalfa field. This is best done with a sharp-toothed harrow, as soon as the frust Is out of the grc'und and settled in the spring. The harrow can be safely used, even though Its teeth seem to tear everything up by the roots, and the mistake H often made cf too little harrowing than too much. Aged German farmers, who have been familiar with the crop at home, have told me experience had taught culti

vators that nothing Ws than a stirring of the surface of the most vigorous and prolonged character would enable the alfalfa plants to hold their own. as they do for ten years and longer. As to manures, they contain too many weed seeds to be safely applied to the crop, and the fertilizers depended upon should be nitrate of soda in moderate quantlty in the spring, and unlimited phosphates in the autumn months."

To Care a Kicking Horse. Dr. James Law says that there Is no Infallible cure applicable to all kickers alike, as much depends on the temper of the animal, its past habits and experience, and not a little on the man who undertakes the cure. Some nervous mares given to switching, holding the rein under the tail and kicking, may be cured by simply driving with an overdraw cheek, kept rather short, and by rolling the crupper with a strip of flannel until it is three Inches thick and will not allow the tail to settle down closely enough to hold the rein tightly, or fixing the tall to the breeching straps at each side so as to prevent it from getting over the rein may suffice. If it is from nervous sensitiveness when touched on the quarters or hind limbs by harness, shafts, whip or hand, Magner's method of turning in a narrow circle to render the horse dizzy and submissive may be tried. A strong hitching strap or stout hemp cord is carried from one ring of the bit back on one side of the body, through an opening made in the hair above a knot tied on the end of the tall, and back through the other ring of the bridle. This may be drawn so tightly as to bring the nose near the tall nearer in the less nervous animal and not so near in the more nervous and tied with a running noose which may be loosened In a moment by pulling on the fore end. Or in place of tying it may be held in the hand tightly, but ready to be slackened when necessary. Most horses in these circumstances will turn rapidly round toward the side to which the head and tail are turned, and the more rapid the turning the sooner will the animal become dizzy and will fall on the opposite side if the process is too long continued. If the horse declines to turn, or turns slowly, he may be made to do It more actively by striking the nose gently with the whip. It Is not necessary, however, to whirl him till he falls: he need only to be made giddy. After a few turns, touch his quarters, rump. thighs, hooka and sharks with a light pole. He may kick, or try to. at first, but the pole must be applied lightly again and again, and he will soon dismiss all thought of kicking. The pole must be repeatedly brought In contact with all parts of the hind limbs, inside and out. until he no longer fears or resents It, but takes it as a matter ol course. As the effect of turning to one side is liable to be temporary, it is best to loosen the horse in a few minutes, tie him on the other side, and let him turn for a while in that direction. The p-!o can now be brought more effectively in contact with the whole of the other hind quarter and leg. so that the horse bonies educated to bear it at all points without fear or retaliation. Rye for Hoars. Why. not drop out when and use rye Instead cn hog f?rm.-?? The Swine Breeders' Journal names some advantages rye has over wheat. "It is a harder plant and can be sown with hope of success when wheat is almost sure to fail. When the weather is favorable it can be cast in the growing corn and covered with a shovel plow or cultivator, although it is safer to sow it with the same care exercised in sowing wheat, after the corn - is cut. It will make a quicker growth fall and winter than wheat, will stand hort grazing and then if desired perfect a crop. By letting the hogs harvest it, it has an advantage over wheat, still, some one says, wheat can be hogged down. Well, so It can, but if the weather is wet, the loss from decay and sprouting is much greater. When rye is hogged down the hogs carry nothing away except the r.ioat produced, the straw being left on the land making an excellent mulch for young grass. Rye is better to start clover in than wheat, the shade is not so dense. Experience has also shown that clover Is not Injured by pasturing the rye. As good a stand of clover as could be desired Is secured by sowing the seed about the middle of April on land sown in rye in October. The stock went on this field as soon after the clover was sown as the land was dry enough to allow and remained during the season. Notwithstanding the close pasturing given the clover made a good catch. Rye with a good growth of clover in it makes excellent hog range, and we know of no preparation better than this for a roundup on new corn. The hogs can be hold off without any serious loss till it can bo made to reach new corn. Growing rye and hogging down saves the heavy harvest work incidental to wheat. We call to mind a crop of rye grown, and hogged down years ago. When the hogs were turned on it was worked down, the straws breaking about eighteen inches in hight. At this time the medium red clover was coming out in bloom, the heads showing above the straw broken rye- The hogs did fir.-t rate on this field. We are satisfied that farmers would find it profitable to grow rye In rotation as we have indicated Instead of wheat. I'nder favorable conditions muh land that i sown to wheat does not give a profitable return. Just such land sown to rye will almost to a certainty bring a good crop." Low Temperature Weeds. It is the low-temperature weeds that knock out the berry growing of many farmers, says L. B. Pierce. Weeding is stopped with the advent of September, the close proximity of Jack Frost being considered a sufficient protection against further injurious encroachment of the enemies which the summer produces. Wlih the first white frust the farmer's boy straightens his back with a satisfied, permanent air and remarks softly to himself: "Now I shall have a rest." A well-known gardener said to me the othr day: "Thanks to the wet season and to too little help. I have more weeds than I ought, but Jack Frost will help me out before long." Unfortunately for him and others who put their trust In this slippery assistant, he simply clears the way for a small army of cold-blooded enemies who at once proceed to occupy the newly cleared ground. White clover, sorrel, chlckweed. blue gra?s. dock mullein, thistle and horsetail (I mention them In their rank as enemies), have each put more or less of their 'kind to growing In a quiet way under the summer growth all ready to spread out and occupy the ground whenever there is a chance. "They were too small and piddling to bother with," a hired man once told me, so he pulled up the more prominent pigweed and purslane and hartseed. that the frost would have killed any way, find left the ground pretty nearly covered with white clover and sorrel that unmolested would have swamped the strawberries beyond nil redemption by the following June. The hardy perennials that I have mentioned, especially the first five, grow at a very low temperature, and without much waiting for sunshine, and the wet, dark weather of Novemter seems exactly adapted to their requirements. Hnrrrstlng Apple and Tears. A late writer says that he has lost 100 barrels of choice apples In the course of his experience by not picking them In the right season, often deferring the work for his corn cutting or potato digging. There is no doubt that mjny orchardists lose a great deal by not gathering their a pries In season, or else on the other hand, by picking them too soon. If the orchard and its crop are valuable, many kinds of fruit are worth two seasons of picking. The first half is when they begin to drop from the tree; but here Is another half or more, with some varieties vhlch adhere tlrmly and remain. If the gathering of these is deferred about two weeks, they will keep longer and be better in quality. It is not diiScult to select th most

mature, first by their color, and they will readily loosen at the stem, while the others strongly adhere. The well known rule for gathering pears when the fruit will readily separate from the tree when lifted half way up. Is an excellent rule; but there is usually less difference in- the time of ripening than with apples. Pears which ripen early and in a medium season should always be gathered some days before ripe. Choice varieUes may be packed in drawers or boxes, and will become more delicious at maturity than If ripened In the open air and on the tree. This is particularly Important with early pears, and wrnpped In flannel and allowed to remain some days they will be greatly improved, and those which have a slight blush naturally will redden Into real beauty when matured. Late autumn or winter varieties require rather less care and may be treated more liko winter apples but at the same time they should be carefully and well secured in a cool and uniform temperature. Country Gentleman. Keediiifif Short. Here Is something to consider. John Gould, the veteran dairyman, says: "Yesterday I saw at the local mills, wheat being sold at J1S.50 per ton, and farmers loading up with shorts at $17 per ton to feed, for the drought Is demanding something for extra feeding. Did the man who received J1.50 to boot between wheat and shorts, get any value received out of the matter; or was it not the miller who got the flour? There is a widespread idea that the flour of the wheat is not Intended by Providence to be used as food save by the human family, but with wheat at 53 cents, it begins to look as If the beasts of the field had "the call" on the humans in the matter of high-priced food. The matter hereabouts Is being actively discussed, and if I am not greatly mistaken, there will be considerable quantities of wheat ground for milch cows, for it looks as if there were a screw loose in business calculations when wheat sells for 518. and mill feed for $17 a ton; and what's left as flour sells for 54.60 a barrel." Some w Recipe. Nasturtiums Pick small green ones, throw them into salt an1 water, adding fresh ones daily, changing the water at the end of three and then four more days. Pour off the brine and cover with scalding vinegar. Pear Jam To six pounds of pears put four pounds of sugar. Put the pears In a saucepan or kettle with a little water to cover them. Set over the fire until the fruit Is soft, then add the sugar and cook as other jam. Pickled Peppers Pick them Just as they begin to turn red; soak in strong brine ten days; take from th brine and soak one day in cold water. Remove, wipe dry, lay In Jars, cover with cold vinegar. The vinegar Is nice as an accompaniment to spring salad. Apple Tart Line pattypans with a good rich pie crust. fay In half tart apples touching each other. Put over them bits of butter, a little sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a little water. Pake quickly to a nice brown. Serve with sugar and cream. Appl and Pear Marmalade Take equal quantities of such apples and pears as will cook together, and to each pound when peared and cored add three-quarters of a jxund of preserving sugar. Cook over a slow fire, continually stirrinr until the frlut la quite soft. Store in the usual way. Mushrooms Use only the button variety, and rub them with a soft flannel and salt; sprinkle with a little' salt. Strew them with a little) mace and pepper. Shake them well as the liquor comes out and keep them over a gentle fire until it is absorbed. Cover them with vinegar, let come to a boil and turn into a glass or stone jar. These will keep two years. Cullflowers Lay them for an hour In cold, salted water: remove the outside leaves and the stalk and put on to cook in boiling water. Cook gently for half an hour, then turn oft the water and add one pint of mMk and a p'nt of holing water and a tahlespoonful of salt. Simmer half an hour longer. Take up carefully with a skimmer. Pour over this a cream sauce and serve. Crab Apple and Pear Preserves Cook and strain one-half peek of crab apples. Peel and quarter one peck of pears. Allow pound for pound of sugar with a couple of pounds extra for the crab apples. Boil the crab apples, sugar, a few cloves and a little unground ginger together. Add pears, and, when quite tender, bottle and seil. This makes a delicious preserve, as good as peaches. Tomato Make a hot spice sirup of one pint of vinegar, two pounds of brown sugar, one-half ounce of stick cinnamon and one-quarter ounce of whole cloves, snd cook It In four pounds of tomatoes: take them out and let the sirup cook slowly. When the fruit Is cool return to the syrup and ook ten minutes. Put In Jara when cold, and pour the sirup, which should he ns thick as molasses, over them. Seal carefully. Pickled Pears Stake a sirup, using six pounds of llht brown sugar and one quart of cider vinegar. Teel the pears nicely, leaving the stems on: leave the pears whole and steam until tender; have the sirup hot: put them Into the sirup for three minutes, skim out and put in two quart Jars, pour sirup over them and fill the jars full, then screw the coverä on. Allow five tablespoons of ground cinnamon, put In two bags and cook In sirup. Fried Cucumbers Cucumbers are good In any form, but they are particularly delicious prepared In the following manner. Pare and cut the cucumbers lengthwise In slices about one-quarter of Inch thick. Cut off the tough white part on the outside pieces and soak In cold water, slizhtiy salted, for one hour. Wipe dry. sprinkle each slice with a little salt and pepper, dust with flour and roll In sifted bread crumbs, or dip in beaten egg and then in crumbs. Fry in hot butter. Sweet Tickles A good, all-round sweet plckla Is made of seven pounds of fruit, three and one-half pounds of sugar, one quart of vineirar, one teaspoon ful of bits of mace or nutmeg, two tablespoonfuls of stick cinnamon and one tablespoonful of cloves. Extract the strength of the spices by simmering In a very little water. Strain the water Into the vinegar and sugar and when the sirup bolls put In the fruit and simmer from fifteen to thirty minutes. Add two sliced lemons, with two ounces of ginger root for cucumbers or mlons. A Delicious Dish of Tears Ingredients: Six large basket pears, half pound of sugar, quarter of a pint of wine, elsht whole cloves, hslf a lemon, half ounce of gelatine. Peel the pears and cut them In quarters. Put them In a shallow dish with sugar, cloves and water enough to cover them. Stew In the oven till tender, but not broken. Take the pears from the liquor, and nut them In a dish for the table. To half a pint of the liquor add the gelatine. Juice and grated rind of lemon and wine. Let thes Ingredients boil quickly for five minutes, strain the liquid warm over the pears and set them In a cool place. When cool serve on a glass dish. A few drops of cochineal may be added to the Jelly to improve its color. Preserved Ginger Select plump, smoothlooking ginger-ioot Gnsrled or rough pieces are unlit for u. Seraie them carefully, and as the pieces are scraped throw them Into cold water. Welqh the roots and allow seven pounds of root to eight pounds of sugar. Put the ginger-root over the tire In a large kettle of coll water. Let It boll steadily for about half an hour. Then drain it out of this water, cool It In cold water and put It over the fire axaln. Let It boll In this second water until it Is so tender that it can be easily pierced with a broom splint Make a Elrup. using

Coan Keller and Henry Frank, the former the son of a prominent furniture manufacturer, and the latter the son of a prominent furniture dealer, were fatally injured today at the Western-ave. crossing of the Tan-Handle. They were attempting to cross the track in front of the fast train, eastward bound. One was thrown forty and the other eighty feet from the track. Young Keller had his skull crushed and an arm broken in two places besides other Injuries. He died in about half an hour. Young Frank had both legs broken in two places, an arm broken in two places and the skull crushed, besides other Injuries. He died in two hours. Mrs. Keller, the mother of young Keller, Is at Columbia City at the bedside of her mother, whose recovery Is In doubt, while the parents of young Frank were away from home at the time of the accident, returning home just in time to see their boy expire. The lads were each about sixteen years old. The buggy was Utterly destroyed and the harness completely stripped from the horse, which escaped. This is the same crossing where Miss Ihrig was killed and a companion severely injured by the train just eight weeks ago today. UK KILLED IIIS FRIEMI. Had Harris Cnnl 1 1 lnodr Causes the Death of Harvey Xelaon. GOSHEN, Sept. 20. Special. Shipshewana was thrown into an excited condition this forenoon at what first reports had was a murder, but which investigation proved to be a very deplorable accident which threw the unwitting destroyer into a condition bordering on insanity. Yesterday Harvey Nelson and Hud Harris, two young men of Shipshewana, were out hunting. This morning they met at about 9 o'clock to arrange and put away their guns. Hud Harris was cleaning his gun and talking about the hunting trip, and while there were shells in the barrel, he thought they were empty and raised the hammer and let It go. A loud report followed and Harvey Nelson dropped to the Moor as If dead. Help was immediately summoned, but to no use, as Nelson died in twenty minutes. Investigation showed that the contents of the shell struck Nelson Just above th right hip, passing through the liver and upward through the stomach. Kate of a Yonng Swell. BEDFORD, Sept 23. Special. Peter Bramble nas been cutting quite a swell during the summer here. He was particularly favored by the fair sex.

THE MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Increasing stocks caused weakness in wheat today, notwithstanding large export clearances. Corn advanced on expected lighter receipts locally. Compared with Saturday night wheat Is c down and corn c up. Provisions show gains of 5c to 35c, near by options being the firmest. Wheat, at the opening, was rather firm, and prices higher than Saturday's closing, became weaker and declined $i"sC and closed Vic lower than Saturday. The early strength was Influenced by the reported decrease of 1.104,000 bushels In quantity of wheat and flour on ocean passage and smaller shipments from India which were reported at 580,000 bushels less .than the preceding week. There were quite a few buyers' orders, some parties evidently thinking the market favorable for a reaction. But the offerings were liberal, cables were lower, the conditions favorable for plowing and seeding. The visibly supply ' statement about answered expectations. Corn opened at about the final figures of Saturday and after selling off a fraction sold up i and remained quiet for a while but again firmed up, advancing another e, reacting lie later, changed some, and closed at U&c. gain. Severe frosts are reported in many parts of the corn belt but cut very' little figure as It is what Is now needed for curing. There was a moderate trade in oats and a steadier feeling, especially for the near futures, which advanced ftHc, while May only advanced c and closed at the outside. The provision market was firm on higher priced hogs, but there was no speculative demand from any outside point. Stocks are light, the demand for cash product Is reported good, but the speculative crowd apparently can see nothing but danger to themselves In meddling with the market on either side under present conditions. Vessel room was in good demand and rates Uföc higher than Buffalo at 2c for wheat and lic for corn and to Kingston at 3c.

Begs Firm at lSSlSc. INDIANAPOLIS. IND., MONDAY, Sept. 23. J. B. Berry's Chicago advices report: Early morning news was about an offset The bullish Items were decrease, on passage, lipht Indian shipment and expected large exports. The bearish Items were lower cables, expected increase in the visible supply and a private report from London that large stocks, particularly in Russia, was causing trouble with some of the houses there. As the day advanced the crowd and news appeared to become bearish, causing a very weak market. Larpe stocks and an absence of outside support are still the chief elements of weakness, although the market was influenced by a decline in the Northwest. Kxports turned out liberal, some 703,XK) bushels of wheat and flour, but this seemed to give only a temporary buoyancy. Visible increased about as expected. The close was weak at JflUc for December. Ä Corn was very strong again today. Frost was reported in the corn belt, but this did not appear to alarm traders. Speculators are now looking at the demand and shipments and as long as these continue as good and as larpe as they are, there is unquestionably little doubt of much lower prices. New York wires there is not a bushel of contract corn there, hlßher prices are looked for on the shipping demand and it Is safe to say a large proportion of the receipts here are going Into private warehouses. These facts are having their effect on the trade and with a short crop two years In succession makes a very etronjf arsrument in favor of corn. There la nothing new to say regarding oats. They fluctuate with corn and may be classed In the same position. Provisions have been exceedingly dull today. Higher prices at the yards, however, caused a strong market. Wheat Steady: No. 2 red.
