The London Chronicle reviews the
result of case which recently came
before the court in London, to test the
right of wholesale provision dealer,
to legally sell preserved peas contain
ing 3. l6 grains of sulphate OF copper
to the pound. The evidence of the
analysis differed as to the amount only,
and the judge based his decision on 3
grains, deciding. in the absence of
scientific testimony to the contrary,
that such an amount was dangerous
to the health of the consumer. This
decision is of serious effect, as no fewer
than 1000, 900 tins of these peas are
consumed in England per year. We
do not think the Chronicle should
speak in tone of commiseration of
this fact, as for that reason alone, if
these peas are so deleterious to health
thus processed. it is terrible menace
to the nations health conditions, and
their sale should be stopped at once.

Peanut Statistics.

A firm of extensive dealers in pea
nuts, Messrs. Holmes & Dawson, of
Virginia, have been pursuing peanut
crop statistics through correspondence
with growers. Forty-four per cent of
the replies to their inquiries show an
increase Of 20 per cent in acreage over
last year, another A per cent report no
increase in the acreage, and the re-
naming IL per cent report decrease
in the acreage. Forty-tive per cent of
the crop is reported fair. 10 per cent
good. and the balance poor. Extern
sive rains have seriously affected the
vines and retarded their growth.
Seventy-tive per cent of the correspond
ents believe that full crop cannot be
made this year. The firm above named
sums up the report with the conclu.
sion that the increase in acreage will
be about 10 per cent over last year,
throughout the peanut growing coun.
try.

What Kind of a Hire?

This is the usual inquiry of the
novice, who wants the one in which
the bees will store the most honey says
the Los Angeles Cultivator. Some
appear to entertain the idea that there
is something in the construction of
hive that will cause bees to store more
honey than they would in plain box
or nail key. The patent hive vendor
cries Eureka" but it should be
remembered that it is the bees that
gather the honey, and not the hive. +"
This is basic principle. There is
an endless variety of hives-many that
suit humbugs better than bees. A
plain, well-put together 8 or 10 frame
hive is all that any experienced and
practical beekeeper wants. All the
costly and unnecessary work that can
be lavished upon hive will never
bring a pound more of a crop if the
season and bees are both failure.
We fancy the bees dislike complica-
lions as well as an intelligent keeper.

SHOULD BE SET FREE
Strong Stand Taken by O'Conror in
the Castle Case

LONDON, Nov. ST. P. O'Connor,
In discussing the case of Mrs. Castle, in
the Sun today, says: Some proof of
the esteem in which this family is
held in San Francisco can be found in
the fact that friends Of mine have
cabled me to do anything that lies in
my power in this matter. My feeling
is that this poor woman ought to be
turned over to her friends Immediately.
There is not the slightest doubt that
she is unhinged in mind, for she is
wealthy, educated and of a nature en-
tirely free from viciousness. Mr.. Cas-
tie deserves the sympathy and respect
of every man and especially Of every
husband. His trial has been a terrible
one. I do not think there could be a
finer exhibition of manliness and gen
erosity than this poor fellow has ex-
hibited in standing by his wife in her
hour of extremity, faithful, tender and
unreproachful. The American author
tiles are now working for her liberia
ton, and am sure that public opinion
in Great Britain will back him up with
full hopes Of success" Continuing, the
Sun says that the county magistrate at
Clerkenwell, has memorialized the
home office in favor of Mrs. Castle.
