Bradstreet's Report.

New YoBH, December 18-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say !: General
trade presents the usual holiday
characteristics. A majority of the
wholesale dealers aud manufacturers are
beginning or have finished taking ac-
count of stock or arranging settlements
for the new year The main activity
has been for Christmas spec'aties IN
retail lines. The practical conclusion
of the holiday trade has brought about
a moderate reaction, aud this empha-
sizes the dullness noted in preceding
weeks.
Jobbers claim the outlook for trade
during the late winter aud early spring
is for very conservative buying. But
iu some lines, notably. however, tex
tiles, recent cold weather has stimulated
sales, and reports from retailers West
and South indicate that stocks are low.
almost beyond precedent. This is
taken as Indicative Of a better merchao-
disc trade in the near future than for
several years past. Travelling sales
men, with few exceptions, are of the
road Merchants generally inclioe to
the view that 1895 promises favorable
business, although. IS indicated. opin-
ion is divided as to whether renewed
activity Will mark the early mouths OF
the coming year or not.
Industries are shut down in many
instances to make repairs and take
stock. and owing to extreme low prices
for Industrial staples the wage move
nent tends downward. Quotations for
staple merchandise show much 6rmness,
with sugar, cotton. wheat. corn, steel.
naval stores, tobacco. tin and copper
practically unchanged in prices Coffee
is depressed and there are rumoFs CT
contracts for iron aad steel at shade
uuder last weeks quotations although b
uncoa6rmed.
Southern cities uniformly report a
very quiet trade in jobbiug lines.
Charleston. Savannah ADD Augusta re-
port collections slow, but at Nashville,
where merchants regard prospects for
spring business reasonably good. collec
tiops are fair. Manufacturers at At
lauta are doing little aud Chattanooga
jobbers likewise A moderately i'm
proved demand for funds is announced
from Memphis and at New Orleans the
only gaia is better feeling in the rice
market. Galveston uotes the excep-
ton with an improvement expected
shortly after January and wholesale
merchants in nearly all lines sending
out travellers.

COWS AND BUTTER.


Some Things Taught by the Worlds Fair
Dairy Test.
The test of cows at the worlds fair
was significant in more than testing
the breeds. A great point was made
in favor of small cows, SO frequently
shifted at by the man who knows it
all The largest COW tested weighed
almost LOO pounds. She consumed
S22. pa worth of feed while making lat
pounds of butter. During the same
period COW weighing less than $50
pounds only used S22 worth of food to
make 179 pounds of butter. Another
COW weighing considerably over half a
ton used S27.22 of food to make 1879
pounds of butter. And another 500
pound COW made from S23.24 worth of
food 1ss pounds of butter. The two
large cows yielded butter at cost of
1872 cents and 13.5 cents per pound re-
spectively, while the little cows yielded
butter at a cost of 1855 cents and 1914
cents per pound. But some one says
these little cows are good for nothing
for beef when we have got through
making butter. This is true; and it is
also true that we don't buy sewing
machine or a moving machine with the
view of what they will bring at last at
half a cent a pound as old iron. We
overlook this and buy them for the
work they viii do, and demand that
it shall be done in the quickest and
most satisfactory manner. Don't buy
a COW for the beef she will make five
or ten years from now.-Hollister Sage
in Country Gentleman.

MANAGEMENT OF COWS.

An EnEliah WRITER Advocates Patleut
Animals and Kind Treatment.
The following plan of management
detailed by an English writer is gem
orally good Most of us, however,
viii not agree with his advice to
change mixers He says: Good prac-
tical management soon finds out the
cows that are good mixers and too
tough to milk. You may mark them
down as bad milking animals quite
believe in the plan of having each cows
milk weighed. but the want of sufi-
cient and intelligent mixers is an OBJ
stacle. The milking should be done as
quickly as possible, care being taken
to annoy the cow rs little as can be
helped. Careless and slow milking
soon spoil the best of cows and put
them difficult to milk for others. It is
a good plan to change the mixers at
every milking, as it accustoms the cow
to different mixers. The cows should
be managed quietly and spoken to
gently. From calves they should be so
treated that they will have nothing to
fear from their attendants. Halt of
life frightened out of them by bad
usage. Where cows are abused by bad
tempered mixers, and where, as I
have seen, good cows tail broken at
the rump by a blow from a byre stool,
we need not be surprised if some cows
are nervous and quick when they see a
stranger. Cows being driven by vicious
dogs also makes them scared, and I
make it practice not to allow dog
near cows. have seen some dogs that
could be allowed tot gather the cows,
but only in rare instances, and that
where the cows have been reared to it.
One quick COW in herd may do a lot
of harm by startling others When
one cow starts the alarm generally the
whole crowd follow. Everyone who
pays close attention to the milk yield
will find that when cows have been
alarmed and running, as when for in
stance they break out of the field, it
diminishes the yield of milk. This is
why l advocate quiet-tempered cows
and kindly treatment.

THE FARMING WORLD.
THE COOLING MOTH.

Secretary Morton Tells Fruit Grower
How to Destroy It
The apple trade of the United States
with foreign countries has always been
profitable. The demand for apples
grown in the United States has always
been in excess of the supply. Great
Britain. alone, during the nine months
ending September, 1894. paid the or
chards of the United States So, 500, 900.
The greatest enemy to our export APP
tire crop can be made wormiess if the
orchardists of the United States will
use the following recipe:
Use Paris green at the rate OF
pound to $50 gallons of water. Weigh
out sufficient poison for the capacity of
the tank used, and make it into thin
paint with small quantity of water
and add powdered or quick lime equal
to the weight of poison used, mixing
thoroughly. The lime takes up the
free arsenic and removes the danger of
sca1ding. Strain the mixture into the
spray tank, taking care to pulverize
and wash all the poison through the
strainer. During the operation of
spraying see that the liquid is agitated
with sufficient frequency to prevent
the settling of the poison.
THE prime essential in spraying is
to break up the liquid into a fine mist,
so as to coat every leaf and part OF the
plant as lightly as is consistent with
thoroughness. This should not require
more than from to gallons for q
comparatively large fruit tree"
Let the first spraying follow within
week after the falling of the bios
SONS of either apple or pear, and fol-
low this with second treatment just
before the fruit turns down on the
stem. or when it is from one-fourth to
one-half inch in diameter. The first
spraying reaches the eggs laid by the
moth in the flower end of the fruit
shortly after the falling of the bios
SONS, and the second the later eggs
laid by belated moths. Do not spray
trees when in bloom, and if a washing
rain Immediately follows treatment,
repeat the application.
Knapsack sprayers suitable for ap-
plying the insecticide can now be OBJ
tanned at reasonable prices at all agri-
cultural implement stores--Secretary
Morton.

Keep the Poultry House warm.

It is proper to lath and plaster the
whole house in a cold climate, but this
might be overlooked if those keeping
fowls did not freeze them with venti-
lating appliances 1t is useless to at
tempt to keep the hens comfortable
and the house warm, and at the same
time make openings to allow the
warmth to escape by attempting to
afford ventilation. The use of tarred
paper on the outside of the poultry
house is a cheap and effectual method
of keeping the cold out, and it is better
to use it on the outside than the inside,
as it is liable to condense moisture if
used on the inside. The wood absorbs
warmth during the day if there is
plenty of glass, and for that reason
paper should only be applied to inside
walls when they are plastered.-Con-
pecticut Farmer.

JAPAN'S AMBITION
L. 70 Advance in the Path of Progress and

Ii 60 Advance in the Path of Progress and
Develop Her Industries.
PARIS, April 24.-The Journal Des
Debats publishes report of an inter-
view with Mr.. Some Arasuke, japanese
minister to France, upon the results of
the China-Japanese war. The minister
declared that European trade would
be unable to withstand the COMPETE
ton of Japan. This, however, he said,
was purely a pecuniary question,
and could be modified in accord
ance with the adoption by European
countries of a bimetallic standard or
the retention of the existing standard.
Japan, he said. does not project any
conQuests. Her one ambition is to adj
vance in the path of progress and de-
velop the trade and industries of the
country she has recently acquired.
The fears of Spain that Japan will en-
croach upon the PHILIPPINE islands, the
minister said, are groundless- Japan
is perfectly satisfied with the posses
sion of Forniosa.

-Preyer, the German student OF the
child mind, taught hiss of two years
to distinguish primary colors by means
of small ovals each of different color.
A student of Preyer's book has hit upon
less scientific but more poetica1
scheme of teaching the same thing to
a little child by means of flowers and
other natural objects. The difficulty.
of course, is to be sure of uniformity of
color in natural objects throughout the
year. Even a very young child soon
learns to dissociate the idea of color
from the object itself when a yellow
pansy, red rose, or a blue violet is
presented after drill with different
colored flowers of the same kind. A
red rose and a yellow rose are quickly
recognized and differentiated. and the
quality of color is accentuated when q
red rose and a yellow pansy are brought
to the child's attention.
