WHEN you discover a hen pulling

R. G.. Dun & Co.'S review of trade for last
week is as follows:
The unprecedented interruption of business
by centennial preparations and celebrati ions has
made the week nearly blank in commercial or
financial respects. At New York accumulated
orders gave surface appearance of greater
activity Thursday and Friday, but it is not too
soon to judge which way the tide will turn, and
the reports from other Cities though nearly all
hopeful in tone, do not indicate the expected i'm
pr0vement. The situation seems better at Mil
waukee, satisfactory at Omaha, good at Cleve-
land as to most branches, but questionable as to
iron rather dull at Kansas City and st. Paul
and less encouraging at the chief centers of the
grain, iron, coal and leather trades Collec-
lions are "far from satisfactory" at Milwaukee
and not improved at Detroit, but in other lines
the situation seems fairly satisfactory At New
York some dry goods dealers complain that
collections are "too good"-buyers keep so far
within means. Reports about the wool trade
are contradictory. report that the Treasury
may not decide the wooden worsted question

ALMOST everybody can get bees of

even by express.
IT is always best if you find that a
colony has nearly finished case Of Sec
tions, and then have done but very little
for two or three days, to remove it at
once and give them a case of empty Sec
tions, as they might not finish it in
several days.
SORGHUM molasses will do for spring
feeding whenever the bees fly freely;
that is, providing the bees will pay any
attention to it. Unless the quality Of
the sorghum is quite good, and no
honey of any sort is to be had in the
fields, bees will seldom work on it,
G. NJ. DooLITTLE, in answer to the

Much depends upon the season of the
year, and the condition of the colony.
They are usually sold at from 81 to Sc in
spring. The reason for the difference
in price is that, of late years, there
seems to be much risk in wintering,
throug hout all the United States being
lost during one or two of our worst win
tiers, while the average Toss for the past
fifteen years has not been much less
than twenty per cent. If ten or more
colonies are purchased of one party, the
price should not be above the lowest
figures given, for each colony. In an
average season, and in favorable local
ity, such a colony of bees should give
fifty pounds of honey, besides one good
swarm. The honey would readily bring
10 cents per pound, or S., and the swarm
should be worth 81 without the hive, in
the fall, which would nearly give the
purchaser his money back, even if he
lost the old colony, or so per cent. of
his bees, during the next winter.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

More Rain Needed in Most Localities from
South to North.
The Government crop report for the week
ending April 80 says:
In the grain regions of the central valleys and
in New York and New England the season ia
from three days to one week in advance while
in the Northwest the seasonable temperature
has been unusually high and especially favora-
BILE to farm work. which is from ten to twenty
days further advanced than usual. The rain
rail- for the week has been below the normal
generally throughout the cotton, wheat, and
corn regions OF the Mississippi Ohio, and Mis-
souri, Valleys, except in Eastern Minnesota and
Northern Wisconsin, where large excuses are
reported. The seasonable rain fall continues in
excess over the Eastern Rocky Mountain Slope
from the Texas coast nOrthward to Dakota.
There is q large deficiency in, moisture in the
Ohio Valley, where the rain fall for the season
has been about one-half the usual amount.
Over the greater portion of the winter wheat
region from 80 to IS per cent of the usual amount
of rain has fallen, while in Missouri and eastern
Iowa there has been about 80 per cent Of the nor
NAL rainfall. In all of the States west of the
Mississippi, from the west gulf northward to
Minnesota and Dakota, the weather during the
week Was favorable to all crops and fruit, which
are reported in splendid condition. and corn
planting is progressing rapidly. The deficiency
in rainfall from Kentucky northward to Michi-
gan has retarded the growth of crops, which are
greatly in need of rain
