Current Comment.

BEANs.-Receipts are still liberal, and ali
kinds are having dragging sale. The best
marrow pea are generally held at 35c, but II
is an outside price and some very good
stock has been sold Tor less. -~<SE
FLoUR.-The market yet shows an alb
sence Of life, and the business is small
Wheat has ruled lower however, but the close
shows q firmer tone, and general values
are quoted about the same as week ago.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export 972 boxes.
Trade has been light for the past week, and
the only indication Of change in the condi-
vance in the Liverpool quotation. Sales
continue in small lots at unchanged quota
tions.
EGGS. Receipts show further consider
able increase this week, but there has been
little improvement in the demand, aud al
| though good many lots have been held off
the market by shippers order, the supply
Offering has been more than enough for the
wants Of the trade.
BUTTER.--Receipts have increased little
this week, but the supply of strictly fine
| fresh creamery has been little short OF the
wants of the trade, and prices have aver
aged little better than last week. Most Of
| the sales Of extra Vermont and New Hamp-
shire creamery have been at twenty-one
cents.
PoTAToEs.-Trade has been dull for the
past week and under a considerable in
crease in the receipts, the market has
weakened a little. At the close there is a
large stock at the roads and best Aroostock
Hebrons are meeting with slow sale at CSC.
Most sales Of white stock are in the range
| from 30 to 35c.
LUMBRR.-The situation in spruce is i'm
proving from week to week. There is said
| TO be considerable business in sight, but as
yet there has not much materialized in this
vicinity. The improvement to the situation
is mainly due to the good foreign demand
and the active demand in Nav York. The
foreign demand has not been better in years.
Some excellent sales have been made for
the British markets.
wooL.-Sales for the week, $685., 900
pounds. Wool is on the jump. While the
sales Of the week by no means break any
previous records as to magnitude it can be
said with perfect truth that at no time in
four years has such a buoyant, active feel
ing existed throughout the trade. AS one
| dealer remarked, an Office boy who cannot
sell wool at profit on to-day's market isn't
worth his salt. Sales would unquestionsbly
have been much larger were not the stocks
on hand here so largely depleted.

AGRICULTURAL.
Sweet Peas.

This is the season of the seedsmen's
catalogues, the time when people whom
the government has not provided with
garden seeds are looking up what to
buy, if they have not already done 80
AZ reminder, we wish to call the
readers attention to the merits of the
sweet pea. 1t combines more good
qualities than any other common
flower. In the first place it is hardy.
AS soon as the ground thaws out, we
can put in the peas. The old way
with peas was to put them into the bot
tom of trench four inches deep, but
this tended to make the plants run to
vines, They want hard bed to lie in.
1t dwarfs the was to have the roots
work for living in rather H' ~'o so'i'
An inch Is deep enough to plant them,
that is to cover with the earth, but
depression for planting is best for
some dry soils. Then they can be
hilled up little as they grow. Scatter
thickly, but in the end leave the plants
about three inches apart.
Another good quality is the length OF
time they are in bloom. Some of the early
kinds begin to bloom about the middle
of July, and, if kept picked off, the flow
ers will continue to come out till frosts
come. This is so much better than a
plant that blooms few days only.
Then their wonderful beauty is another
most attractive quality. An English
gentlemen, Mr.. Bickford, has done
more than any other person to develop
the beauty of the sweet pea, and his
seeds or varieties are now quoted in all
the catalogues. The colors and shad.
ings are marvels of beauty and feast
to the eyes. Their fragrance, too, is
unexcelled. Every one knows how
sweet sweet peas are, and Bickford'.
are surprisingly sweet.
For cut flowers the sweet pea is
without a peer. Taste can be devel
oped in children by teaching them to
group the colors properly. Probably
there is no better place for this plant Of
many excellencies than the farmers
garden. Put them where they can be
seen from the kitchen door and win
dows. II is good thing that the more
flowers you remove, the more you will
have. They have their enemies, JUS
as all plants do. The cutworm liket
no better breakfast than mouthfuls ou
of your pea vines. But bit of paper
heads him off, or you can poison him
if hens do not run in the garden, and
they certainly ought not to. Look ur
the catalogues, buy some seed and
grow sweet peas. They will brighter
your home, give you enjoyment, make
the most acceptable presents for your
friends, and if you live near good
market, they may provide you with {
little spending money.

"Last winter my wife was very sick, taken

The decision of the court is the highest

Judges hand down decision, 1t is only af-

recently brought in decision which affects
the whole people Of the entire country, af-

is given in the interests OF the health OF the
community.
The eminent Judge j. H. Hastings, Waits

DO You Like Strawberries

Do you have them, lots of them, nice
big berries, 80 refreshing in the hot
summer days? If you do, then you are
an exception to the general rule.
Travel the state of Vermont over and
how many farmers and village people
have an abundance of strawberries? By
abundance we don't mean a few once a
day in little stingy, old-fashioned
sauce dish, but great heaping saucers
full three times day, fresh from the
vines. And it comes in wonderfully
handy for the wife and children to have
few quarts to sell. The plants don't
cost much, land ought to be plenty, and
it is not great deal of work to take
care of large piece of strawberries, if
they are planted and managed right.
There are few investments which can
be made to pay better than a plat of
strawberries. Grow all you can, eat all
you need, sell some, if you have them
to sell. Find some one in your town,
or somewhere near you, who grows
them, learn the kind which he grows,
get some plants in the spring, and put
them into good soil in good shape.
Set in rows four feet apart and two feet
apart in the rows. Then run the cul.
tivator through them once week or
oftener, and use garden rake or sim
liar tool to stir the soil near the plants.
Don't let weed start. If you wait till
you can see them, you have waited toe
long. You simply want to keep ahead
of the weeds, that is all. And it is an
easy thing to do, if you run the cult
vator often enough the first of the sea
son. Do not run it deeply, but just
scratch the surface.
Do not let single berry grow the
first summer. If you cultivate throu 81
May and June, you can stop about the
first of July and let the runners grow
and very few weeds will grow after
that. Take some pains when you gel
time to guide the runners 30 as to have
plants about six inches apart, and yor
will get finer berries. In the fall, cut
out paths through the centers between
the rows, making them about twenty
inches wide. When freezing weather
comes, mulch with straw or strawy ma
nure, spreading it on evenly and al
thickly as you can afford. See that
when the danger from frost is over il

A Hard Lesson.

One of the most difficult lessons for
the herd is an individual, and has her
own plan OF life. and so wants a care
and treatment that is in harmony with
her born purpose, and only in this can
the dairyman work on the development
of his herd as noted by one of our ex-
changes as follows:
Some COWS are so constructed by
nature that if they are fed literally they
will turn it largely into body fat, what
ever the ration is; while others will
turn it into milk, TO great extent,
even if it is highly carbonaceous ra
ton. Thus true dairy cow will give
good quantity of milk on ration
composed largely of cornmeal or other
fattening foods, while COW having a
beef tendency would give a small
amount of milk and become fat on the
same ration. From this it is evident
that all cows do not want feeding alike.
The observing dairymen all over the
country understand this, and some of
them feed scarcely any two cows ex-
actly alike. For instance, if COW, be-
ing fed the-regular ration, gives large
flow of milk, but is gradually running
down in flesh, she is fed little more
fattening food like cornmeal; while
the COW standing right beside her, pre-
haps, and not doing quite 30 we'll at
the pail, but is putting on flesh, should
have her ration changed to one con-
tanning more protein. A successful
dairyman finds it necessary to closely
watch the cows every day in the year
and know exactly what they eat, and
know what they do with it, and feed
accordingly."-Dairy World.
