New England Farmer.
A great many "big stories" have appeared in
print about the profits in bee-keeping and some
books have evidently been printed for the sole
purpose of blooming" the market-the market
for bees and the market for hives and supplies.
In the first place consider your adaptability to
tho business. If you cannot stand still ana be
stung without finching it is possible that you
will not succeed. AT first, at least, wear veil
and gloves, even if the old bee-keeper laughs
and tells how he hives bees by scooping them up
with his bare hands. Decide upon the frame to
be used, and then get box to fit the frame. 1t
may be found for less. There is
no disgrace in beginning Bookkeeping with a
soap-b for hive, but it must be sufficient to
keep out the rain. If you are to begin with one
colony, all you need is two hives, frames, veil.
gloves and smoker. The last-named you will
discard by and by, but it gives confidence to be-
gnners.
A colony of bees in New England, the best
Italians. with choice queen, on ten frames in
a good hive good enough, need not cost more
than 3d. and may be bought for less The
price includes all bees, queen, hive and
frames. If you pay more, you have money to
throw away A hive of bees sent to person
in Massachusetts, from any part of New Eng
land, would not cost much if any more than
dollar. Buy as near home as possible, to save
express and save bees.
The colony will send out one swarm at least
if in good condition That gives 100 per cent
increase in bees. The two colonies will produce
honey worth at least So So probably much more,
but suppose it is only So so. The profit. then.
not counting labor would be % per cent. If
you make up your mind to be satisfied with that,
you will not be disappointed.

The Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, March 8.-The Mark Lane Express
says Continuous frosts retard spring work.
Values of wheat are very irregular; in some Sec
tions they are not improved, while in others
they. are 6d01s dearer. The sales of En-
glish wheat during the week were II, los quar-
tiers, at 29s against So O2S quarters at Bis Sd for
the corresponding period last year. Flour was
delivered freely, and prices were fairly steady
Foreign wheats were inactive but firm; prices
have occasionally been dearer. The long winter
and the short supply of vegetables largely in
creased the consumption of bread. Foreign
-four quiet but steady. American grain was
rather weaker. Round corn was stronger.
two were sold, and three remained. At to-day's
market sellers demanded Cd @1s advance on red
wheat, and oats were Cd dearer Canadian oats
were still further against buyers.

article is steadily increasing, while prices rule
lower. During the year 1885 expended
nearly SAT 600 900 for about $685. 0O0 600 pounds
of coffee In 1884 our coffee bill was about $780,
1000 we receiving therefor about 535, 000. coo
pounds, thus showing that the price per pound
of coffee was less during the last year than dur
ing the preceding year. From this showing it
would appear that coffee TO the people of the
United States is no longer luxury but neces-
sary of life, and very generally used, while the
peopleof Great Britain spend nearly four times
as much for tea as for coffee. With US the pro-
portions are reversed; $4,000, 900 was
sum representing 100000 pounds
The produce markets are fairly active. Re-
ceipts CT eggs large, and prices weak. Choice
butter and healthy, fat poultry, however, sell
readily at our quotations. There is nothing
specially new to note in the wool market. The
Boston Journal says: st is evident that manu-
facturers are not so confident purchasers as
few weeks ago, and do not consider the outlook
quite as encouraging The labor movements
continue to be disturbing element, and when
contracts are made for goods it is understood
that they will be delivered unless strikes among
workmen interfere. On this account, also, they
do not feel like stocking up with wool to any ex-
tent, and believe cautious and conservative
policy is the best to pursue. We do not, there
fore, look for much activity at present, although
manufacturers in want of desirable lots of fine
ana medium woods could not do better than pur-
chase them now, because assortments are fast
disappearing, and it will be months yet
before new woods begin to arrive. We cannot
look for California and Texas before May next.
and it appears to us that buyers will hesitate to
purchase at the opening prices if extreme
figures are asked Reports are. in fact, in circu
lation that wool has been purchased in Texas

Much of the value of potatoes as q hog food
depends upon the cooking. If fed largely raw
they produce securing and do not all digest
This is due to the fact that the potato is com
posed so largely of starch as to make cooking an
almost Indispensable aid to digestion. A little
raw potato is beneficial to the hogs stomach,
when fed largely upon corn. 1t is laxative
and cooling, allaying the feverish ten
dency arising from the heating effects of
When fed, to realize the most benefit from
them for fattenine, they should be boiled soft,
and if grain be fed with Them they should be
boiled together. Potatoes and corn go well to-
gether, the former giving bulk and the latter
concentrated nutriment. The potatoes have
more value, judiciously fed, as promoting health
than for nutriment Although more nutritious
than other roots. the potato, nevertheless, is rs
per cent. water, so that its nutriment value is
far below that of corn. In fact, it takes 1888
pounds of potatoes to be equivalent in nutriment
to 100 pounds Of dry. corn.
