portant that the crossbar be the proper

of an inch thick there will be likely TO
be numerous brace combs between the
super and brood frames. The latter
should have thick topbars, aud spaced
properly in the hive. If more conven-
lent the crossbars can be run ,lengthwise

IT is a difficult Job to make a super the

SAN FRANCISCO Markets.
THE STATE OF TRADE,

San Francisco, April The vegetable mar
Eel was fairly active for green stuff and re-
ceipts today were more liberal. Tomatoes and
beans are In good demand and the former are
very scarce. There are no green peppers in the
market. Asparagus is weaker, and a large
amount is being carried over, owing to the high
prices asked.
The market for dairy produce seems more de-
moralized than ever Heavy receipts of butter
make this article weaker, and the shipping de-
mand having to a great extent subsidized
further decline is looked for. Eggs are little
nrmef, as inclement weather retards arrivals.
The fruit market was dull and offers little Of
interest Oranges continue in over supply and
stocks were increased by the arrival OF one car
load this morning. Apples are scarce and show
alittle more inquiry. Four chests Of straw
Ferries arrived. The dried fruit market is
quiet and prunes are the only variety that re-
cave any attention

A Good Early Pear.

Early pears of desirable quality are in
demand, and when such a variety is found
and tested it is sure to become popular.
The pear depicted in the accompanying
cut, while still classed among the new
fruits, has been sufficiently tested to
warrant favorable report.
Mr.. Vandeman, United States pomol-
ogist, has the following to say concern
ing this pear:
Among the summer pears there is none
that pleases me better than this one, ex-
cept that its size is rather small But, like
the Seckel, what it lacks in size it makes
up in quality, although it is larger than
that variety. 1t is chance Seeding.
The tree bears profusely, and the fruit
when fully colored is quite attractive. 1t
does not rot at the core.

Avoid planting near trees.'as it resents
shade. To grow large berries and plenty
of them fertilizers must be used freely
Unleached wood ashes is a specific fertil-
izer for the strawberry; ground bone is
also excellent.
In planting take but few plants from
the trench or package at time, and ex-
pose as little as possible to wind or sun.
Never plant on windy day and never
plant in freezing weather. Do not plant
deep, but press the earth very firmly about
the roots. Should the weather be warm,
shade valuable plants for few days
with handful of coarse litter over each
plant, or with baskets or boxes. In
autumn planting it is good plan to defer
it until just before freezing weather, and
cover each plant with earth, to be re-
moved at the approach of spring. By
this method the plants start early, make
a strong growth and scarcely one will
fall.
For hill culture plant in beds four feet
wide, with alleys two feet between them.
Plant in each bed three rows of plants
fifteen inches apart, and the plants the
same distance apart in the rows. For the
matted row system plant in rows three
feet apart and the plants q foot apart in
the rows-requiring IA, $40 plants per acre.
Lovett, in his Guide to Horticulture, /"
from which the foregoing is reproduced,
advises planting at least three varieties
early, medium and late-to extend the
season to its full limits. Pistillate vari-
cites must have row of perfect lowered
sort planted every nine or twelve feet
apart among them, or, better yet, every
third or fourth plant in the row, to pol
lenize their blossoms. When properly
fortified the pistillate varieties are the
most prolific, and there is no reason for
any prejudice against them. When grown
in good soil the roots of young plants are
to. With old plants the lower roots are
black, dead and wiry, with generally few
young roots just below where the leaves
are joined to the crown, as shown in the
same cut

effect was very satisfactory, as well as

Up to the time that my peaches began to

was obliged to let them go slack. Up to
that time I discovered very few worms
after the third or fourth time going over
and had comparatively few wormly ap-
plies. This fall the first time over them I
found from three to forty worms under
the bandages. l have LOO apple trees
and about 800 pear trees which shall
wrap this winter. l leave the bandage on

Only few days since 1 looked under
two of them and found quite a number of
the worms, which killed, and think this
process, if followed and attended to care
fully, would tend more TO the extermina-
ton of the Goblin moth, than all the spray
ing. l had less wormy apples than my
neighbors who sprayed four and five, some
six times. l would like to hear of a great

Goblin moth. There will be quite a num-
Der of orchardists about here giving it q

The method and material used was,
first cut burlap sack into strips, length
wise. about eight inches wide; wrap it
around the trunk of the tree about an
inch from the ground. Take good stout
Irvine string Tor cloth is better, half an
inch wide), tie about half an inch from
top of bandage, leaving bottom loose, or
not tight to the tree. Make the bandage
to go around the tree twice, as the darker
they find it after getting under the sooner
they stop and spin their cocoon.
One man will do more in exterminating
the codling moth from an orchard in this
way than two men with spray pumps.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE


CHICAGO, April 2-If the Board of Trade men
were always as faint-hearted as they seemed
today few OF them would ever get married The
trade never faltered more from start to finish
and tonight, compared with last evening, wheat
is off 114c, corn &c and pork 15c. There was
not much demand, as the great bulk of the
shorts had been driven in yesterday and buying
was largely confined to those who had sold on
the bill the day before and covered on today's
break. The outside markets were slow and
weak, with considerable declines reported
May wheat opened at 79l<c, fell gradually to
7S14c, reached to 100 and at IL o'clock was 1870.
There was some close figuring in the last hour
Before 1 o'clock the market had a rally to 79l<c
for May. This the better closing, the
cables giving Berlin l mark up and Paris 10 TO 80
confines up on wheat, on the talk of decrease
OF $50 900 to 10000 bushels. Holders were eau
tious and before the closing May was pulled to
the low point of the day, 7si<(G7S5sc. Attention
is being directed TO the very small receipts of
wheat coming to hand. The visible supply,
according to current estimates, should show q
decrease of about $50 900 bushels
In corn the receipts were less than expected
and did not include a single cay of contract, but
the weakness in wheat had a depressing effect,
and 1t was also rumored that the clique was
selling good deal and there was a drop of
nearly a cent May opened &c lower, at 401ssc,
