Wheat was dull, and easy at the opening todays in;,, marked contrast to the nervousness' and excite ment which prevailed in the .pit yester day. Opening prices for May were sc lower at 9292c and a few minutes after the market had declined to 91c. December opened unchanged ' at $1.07, and declined to $1.06. c Liverpool showed but d advance at the open ing there, and this trivial ; response to the jump here yesterday caused a rath er bearish feeling, and for a time offer ings were quite liberal. Northwestern receipts were modrate; Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 628- cars," against 759 last week and 539 a year ago. . About 45 minutes after the opening the market suddenly developed I a good deal of strength, May selling up to 93c and december to $1.08. Shorts attempted to take advantage of the" lull and fall in prices to cover, but- they ; found , some difficulty in doing so and the ; market cae XraT e adce-ad May reacted to 92c arid December to 1.07.

' . -J "' ? !, .'A recent bulletin ht the Minnesota experiment station' discusses . humus; and . draws the following conclusions : The animal and vegetable substance in the soil? In varying degrees of decay or decomposition are collectively spoken of as ' humus, " or organic "matter. These substances, when they reach the proper stage 5f decay, unite, chemically, with the potash, phosphoric acid and lime of the soil, forming compounds called hu matep. , 1 , . Humus has been found to be valuable in the following ways: -r z 1. It absorbs or "fixes" hitrogen,v thus preventing the loss of this - the most- valuable of all fertilizing elements, j 2. It absorbs water, thus enabling t0j son to uetter witnstana aroutns. 3. It renders potash and phosphoric acid soluble, so that they can be taken into the sap of plants through the roots. . For these reasons farm manures pos sess an advantage and value over and above the marjeet price of the nitrogen, potash arid phosphoric acid they con tain. Their bulk- is mostly humus, a valuable material which exists in very small quantities . in commercial fertil izers. . . . For the same reason clover, peas and other green crops even weeds turned under, are largely beneficial to land, aside from nitrogen they have gathered from the air and the phosphoric acid and potash their long roots may have brought up from the subsoil. Investigations at the- Minnesota station-prove the following interesting and valuable facts relating to humus: Farm manure, green clover, blood, fish, tank age, cotton seed, etc., produce , humus rich in nitrogen, while oats, straw, saw dust and carbohydrates form humus poor in nitrogen, but rich in carbon, and the nitrogenous humus more readily unites with the potash and phosphoric acid of the soil to form humates than does carbonaceous humus. The humus of virgin soils is much richer in nitro gen and humates than the humus of soils that have beefi propped for a 3eries of years. It often happens that the doctor, is'out of town when most needed. The 2-year-old daughter of J.' Y. Schenck, of Caddo, Ind. Ter.. was threatened with croup, he writes. "My wife jinsisted that I go for a doctor at on;e; but as he was out of town, I purchased a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, which relieved the child immediately." A bottle of this remedy in the house will often save the expense of a doctor's bill, besides the anxiety always occasioned by serious sickness. When it is given as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will pre vent the attack. Thousands of mothers always keep it In their homes. The 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Dr. T. C.
