In addition to these America shipped 10
Great Britain vegetables valued at $685.
992 bringing the total of all food ship
ments up to $50, 600 900.
A very serious question that the British
must ask themselves before they can think
of war Is, Can we get along without this
food?
The great mills of Nottingham, Bir-
mingham, Paisley and other manufactur-
ing towns depend mostly upon the United
States for cotton for their looms. Last
year this country shipped to England near.
ly 5000, 900 bales of cotton, valued at
SLY, 573, 47o Tho withdrawal of this sup
ply would cause enforced idlenoss fol
many thousands of men and women, who
even now, while working all the year, find
1t extremely difficult TO keep the wolf from
the door.
Great Britain's enormous breweries re-
ceiyed from the United States last year
Is e02, 0is pounds of hops, worth $3,662,-
493. The shipments of mineral oils from
here to the United Kingdom amounted to
30i, 05s, 557 gallons, valued at $40, 964, 4s3.
War would simply cut off all these sup
plies, and they furnish ponderous reasons
for tho statesmen of England to hesitate.
Not less, too, ar6 they weighty matters for
the consideration of the wise men of this
country. War would mean the loss of this
tremendous commerce, for the greatest
market of the world would be closed 20

We May Grow Our own Coffee.

An experiment in coffee growing is TO be
made in the San Joaquin valley, California,
which if successful! may mean that coffee
planting will become an important indus
try in the state. Colonel Charles +. Crock
er, wealthy rancher of that region, las
just secured from various parts of Central
America I 900 yoarliDg coffee plants, and
will soon have them set out on his estates
in the valley. 1t will be at least six years
before the result Of the experiment can be
known. Experts are somewhat doubtful
of its success. They say the soil and sun
light are all right in tho Sap Joaquin val
ley, but the moisture necessary to the sue
cessful raising of coffee Is lacking.

POETRY ON THE SUBJECT.
Sir Lewis Protests In Sorrow Against
America In a Poem.

Sir Lewis Morris has half column
poem in the London Daily News entitled
Armenia, America. December, 1895"
The poem pictures desolate Armenia turn
ing to England for help, and then pro-
Ceeds:
Now, at the moment when our England's arm
Should save the innocent from deadly harm,
To cripple her for some mean, sordid aim,
Some lust for gold or place,
Sure tworo the very irony OF shame,
The debt of deep disgrace!"
IL then proceeds 10 reproach the great
home of freedom in the west for staying
England's arm, and continues:
Forbid it, heaven 'Tis crime 'Tis worse
than crimc
To dreaml This villainy--the despot's cloak
OF base mtrigue-suits not thy limbs sublime,
August republicl
1t was rumored some months ago that
Sir Lewis Morris had been appointed poet
laureate.

Evidently it had met with the
same fate.
DR.. Emerson was called to the
chair.
More discussion followed. Pri-
vate opinions were expressed.
Some favored the minority report
of the committee, others the ma
jority. No conclusion could be
reached. In a happy moment, j.
A. McCandless moved that the
question of disbanding be indefi-
nitely postponed which was passed
almost unanimously.
H. w. Peck sought to make a
motion. Lieutenant Wall thought
that the meeting had been called
for a reconsideration of the ques-
ton of disbanding, therefore no
other matter could be brought up.
The motion to adjourn was car
ried.

About Bees,

Look out for robbers when the har.
vest becomes scarce.
. When the harvest is plenty you can
let honey stand around unprotected for
half a day.
But woe DO to you II you try that
trick after the honey flow has ceased.
And when robbing commences your
bees that had seemed so quiet and gen.
tie become like little demons.
I'll tell you a trick worth knowing
about robbers.
Ii they commence on a comb of honey
or on a weak colony, and have got fair
ly to work, don't take away what
they're working at and leave nothing
in its place.
If you do. they'll go to hunting all
over to find what has become of it,
and like as not pitch on the nearest
colony and clear it out.
But leave in its place something that
looks like it, with at least a little
honey in it, and when they get that
oil cleaned out they'll leave 1t satis-
fed, thinking they've got all there is
to be had.
II robbers are started on a colony
that you think might take care OF
itself with a little help, pile straw or
hay around it,
Pile 1t 4 foot high about the en-.
trance.
Then pour water on it.
Drench it good.
Keep pouring on some mots,
The robbers won't stand that very
long.
But If the colony is q~ueenless and
weak, the robbers will begin work
again as 0 o 40 it dries of.
Better not keep any queenless col
onies anyhow.
They're not worth fussing with.
Break them up at once and distrib-
ute h brood and bees to others.
A weak colony with a good queen
will be glad of them.
If you work for extracted honey,
don't extract too close.
Nowadays 1t isp,t considered beat to
extract out Of the brood nest.
1t pays to leave all in the brood nest,
and perhaps a little beside.
Unless the combs are crammed very
fun the bees may starve before that
time.
They'll not wasteit if they have mora
than they need.
The only possible danger is that there
may be SO much honey In the brood
nest that there isn't room for the queen
to lay.
There is some pressure Just now to
get the government to have apis dor.
sata, the giant indian bee, imported.
But those who ought to know say it
It's a breed of bees that a not be
kept in hives.
Better work for Improvement on the
bees we have.
They've been bred for color till they
are all yellow.
Now IT breeders breel as much for
quality as they have fitpr looks, great
advance may be made. National Stock.
