Provisions Live Stock, Grain and Ctock Markets

RICHMOND MARKETS The grain and feed dealers of Rich mond expect to see timothy hay decrease in price within the next few days, aa much shipped hay is finding its way upon,the market. Many far mers have been holding back their hay for one reason and another, but as soon a3 the quantity of shipped hay becomes of such proportions as to cheapen, that which they hold, the farmers will rush their feed onto the market, so as to take advantage of the prevailing prices. The grocery market remained quiet yesterday, no changes being made. The live stock market which has afforded so much room for speculation within the past few weeks, seems to have reached a stationary point. Hogs are entering, the market In plentiful quantities, although the market is not overcrowded. The quality of the animals keeps the price quoted at the $7.00 mark, and It is expected to remain at this figure for several weeks to come. THE LOCAL MARKETS.

Miss Anna M. Town of Utica, N. Y., has invented an arrangement of electric lights of practical service to those who cannot hear the doorbell or telephone bell. When either bell rings a brilliant light flashes through the rooms, a difference in color distinguishing the two bells. After seventeen years striving tirelessly to invent a mechanical device which experts told him. was impossible Joseph Petrillo of Boston has succeeded in inventing the long sought for "one wheel quarter hour striker" for clocks. For a century skilled workmen from all over the world ha,ve been at work trying to accomplish this striker. TALES OF CITIES. 'New York is seldom thought of as a manufacturing city, but it has 60,842 manufacturing establishments. Kansas City consumes 125 carloads of peanuts every year, but the streets and sidewalks give evidence that the city makes no effort to hide its shells. Administrative London contains 11S square miles and a population of 4,500,000. Greater London contains an area of 693 square miles, with a population of 6,581,372. Postal London has no fired boundary, the limits being extended or reduced at the pleasure of the post master general. FLOWER AND TREE. Scarlet flowers stand dronght better than any other. Hyacinths, paper white and empress narcissus will thrive In comparatively dark windows. The primrose and lily of the valley will stand the shade of trees better than most other flowers. If plants are watered at night, they have a better opportunity to absorb the moisture than in the daytime, when the sun dries the soil very rapidly. SHARP POINTS. Better believe yourself a dunce and work away than a genius and be idle. For one who cannot thoroughly respect himself the high and abiding confidence of others is impossible. The moment others see that money Tabbing is your dominant passion then the bud of your nobility perishes. A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements. Success. Social Level. "Mamma, can't I go up to tne next block an play with the Jones boys?" asked Henry, a boy of six, who was being brought up very carefully. "No, indeed" answered his mother. They are very bad boys. Then can't 1 go over to see Mrs. Smith's little girls?" . . "No, Ilenry; I'm afraid to let yon go." The little fellow left the room. Later he stuck his head inside with. "Say, mamma, I'm going over next door an play with the dog." Woman's Home Companion

CHICAGO MARKETS Publishers' Press Chicago, Feb. 9. The wheat market opened fairly active, but prices were inclined to be weak. May, the most active month, opened off 4c and sold down to 79MC. Later in the session there was an Influx of buying orders by shorts and the market closed at about the top of the day. Corn opened easy, with little trading. May was off Yac and sold to 40c. In sympathy with wheat, corn firmed up near the close, which was practically the same as the opening. . . Oats opened easy, but was influenced by the other grains and closed at outside prices for the 'day. The provisions market was dull, but prices were firm in sympathy with a strong market for live hogs. (By O. G. Murray's Special Wire.) OPEN. CLO. Wheat. May 79 SOYs July 79 79 Sept. 78 79 Corn.

In part one of the third volume of the United States census for 1900 will b found a tabular statement which shows in a very striking way the rise In the death rate during the decade from 1S90 to 1900 for all ages f r6m sixty up. The figures given are now six years old, and so I have brought them up to date with the help of fresh, information from Washington, a matter of no little importance, inasmuch as the Increase has been marked ever since 1900. Thus corrected for accuracy the reckoning shows that since 1890 there has been this increase in the death rate for the entire United States: For people of ages from" 60 to 64. 7 per cent. For people of ages from 65 to 69, 6& per cent. For people of a gas from 70 to 74. 15 per cent. For people of ages from 73 to 73, 7 per cent. For people of ages from 80 to 84, 15 per cent. For people of ages from 85 to 89, 12 per cenL For people of ages from 90 to 94, 304 per cent. For people of ages from 95 and up, 10 per cent. These figures tell the story more clearly than the most eloquent discourse on the stibject. They show that, notwithstanding Improved medical knowledge and the benefits of modern sanitation, we "are dying earlier than our grandparents did. The reason why offers a topic for a consldera. ble discussion and is not to be summed up in a word. But one may discover It without much difficulty in the more complex and luxurious life that we lead. The lives of our forbears were comparatively simple, and their constitutions, nnweakened by the luxury and Intense nervous strain of an existence like that of today, were stronger than ours and better able to withstand the approaches of disease.

Lewis of West Huron asked Premier Laurier in the house to make a declaration of sympathy with the people of New foundland in their troubles with the United States over the fisheries. Premier Laurier said it was with some hesitation that he consented to make a pronouncement on the subject The question is 'before the colonial office, he said, and British diplomat lsts are not handling the matter in a way satisfactory to Newfoundland. Sir Wilfred Laurier onehy reviewed the fishery question and said the New foundland troubles may some day be come those of Canada.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

The Percheron Draft Horse. The Fercheron horse Is a French bred horse and has been developed through many years of careful breeding by farmers of central and southern France. Of all the draft breeds he Is probably the most popular in America today. While he possesses a massive frame, weighing a ton or more, his conformation is such as to give him excellent action, making him extremely well fitted for use on city transfers, where great" strength combined with reasonabl need Is needed. Neither is lie less well fitted for farm work, fcince he possesses strength, enabling him to do heavy work with ease, and his rapid walk Is very desirable both on the road and in the plow. The modern rercherou is short legged, closely and strongly built, with broad, deep, well rounded body, broad croup and full quarters. Farm Progress. Speltz as a Dairy Feed. Professor Shaw, who for several years was Identified with the Minnesota station and Is now one of the editors of the Orange Judd Farmer, is of the opinion that emmer, or 6peltr. is equal to barley. In an article in that paper he says: 'In the regions where It grows well speltz is likely to be fed freely to cows In milk. The Danes know full well the value of barley In milk production, and they use It accordingly. They feed it much -along with oats, and speltz may be fed with advantage In the same way. Equal parts oats and speltz are good for milk production. The same is true of these grains feil'In almost any kind of combination, but when the two are fed. nearly in equilibrium the results are usually more satisfactory." Working Butter. The butter is worked to expel the surplus moisture, to Incorporate the salt and to give the butter a compact body. Overworking Injures the texture and makes the butter appear greasy. Whoti possible. It Is. desirable to work the butter a little and then allow It to stand for a couple of hours or until the next day; then finish. If there is not a suitable place to keep the butter' In between workings, it is better to finish It right up. The working should be stopped when the butter breaks, with a slight tendency to hold together or string out In short pin points. As soon as it passes the stage where It breaks with a clean break, stop working. More butter Is injured by overworking than by insufficient working. Bulletin Purdue Station. Hog Wisdom. Give the brood sows warm, dry sleeping quarters. Be sure that there are no drafts in the pens. Hogs are subject to pneumonia if exposed to cold and drafts. Look out for drafts of Icy wind un der the floors. Do not attempt to keep a number of brood sows In the same pen. As they grow heavy separate them. Crowding may cause abortion. If you are troubled with lice on the hogs, use kerosene emulsion. Spray the hogs and spray the pen. In order, to make a success of hog raising every animal must be atten tlvely watched and every small detail of the business carefully attended to. Farm Journal. Poultry Pickings. You never saw a scrawny hen laying, says Farm Journal. It is the well fed hen, the one that looks neat and trim. Rusty iron placed In the drinking wa ter at this season . serves an excellent purpose as a tonic. . It is a mistake to think that common or mixed chickens are more profitable than pure bred varieties. Good birds cost high. Bear this In mind when purchasing new stock. Good ones are the cheapest In the end. It is Important that the Interior of the houses, Including the floors, be dry and that plenty of fresh air can get into the pens without drafts. Breed Is Not Only Factor. When one sees a great milk and but ter record of a herd of cows of a given breed he must not conclude that all he has to do to achieve similar success Is to buy a herd of that breed. lie must remember that the cows must have the individuality of the record makers and that he must possess the skill for management that the owner of the record makers does. Breed Is only one of many factors that make for success. Protect the Pigs. Special care must be nsed In prevent lng cold drafts. A cold draft on pigs will carry them off faster than any other kind of exposure. Protection against exposure is in fact the chief and most effective remedy for cutting: down the annual spring loss of pigs. The diseases they contract at this pe riod usually originate In bad colds. which develop Into more serious mala dies. Remember to Salt the Cows. The carefully kept cows on the De troit dairy farm receive four ounces of salt dally mixed with their feed. They eat their food better, and the owner thinks they do better when they have this amount than 'when the allowance is smaller. The cows are fed three times a day, and the salt is divided be tween the three feeds. Farm Progress. Oat Hay For Cows. " Ton for ton, many farmers are finding that unthrasbed oats, cut when the grain Is in the rather soft dough (milky) state and .cut fine with a stalk cutter. are better than meadow hay, cut equal ly fine, to feed cattle, especially milk cows. As a rule, good farmers raise far more weight of oats to the acre than of hay. Now that game Is so scarce and fresh game impossible under the law, the Intention of the poultry dealers has not failed them. Young broiling turkeys are not now in market and the poussin or squab chicken has ceased to be a novelty. The. young broiling guinea fowl has therefore come in as the delicacy of the winter. The fqwls are not as large as a grouse, and when split and broiled the white meat of the breasts is as delicate as any game that was ever put on the market It is just now the most popular alternative to the inevitable duck or squab of m season.
