A Good Poultry Paper.

OF these one of the very best is Farm
Poultry. 1t is Boston paper, comes
twice month"; is well printed and
finely illustrated paper, well gotten up
in every way. 1t succeeds in gathering
some of the most practical, scientific
and commonsense articles on poultry it
has ever been our lot to see. Farm
Poultry treats of poultry keeping in all
its branches, but it is of special value
to the farmer who wants to learn how
to take care of his fowls 30 as to make
money from them. There is probably
no paper so well adapted to the farm
er's needs as this one. We do not see
how any family can read this journal
for year without getting very many
times more than it's price from it's in
structive pages. There is fascina-
ton in poultry keeping, pleasure in
it which attracts many people, and we
are sure there are many of our readers
who not only thoroughly enjoys poultry
keeping, but who desire to make at
least little money as well as get
pleasure out of it. To all such we
would commend Farm Poultry, for it
tells as well as can be told, how to
make money out of the hens. Pub

Boston Wool Market.
Current Comment.

OATs.-There is a limited demand noted,
but the tone of the market has ruled strong
er with values higher at the close.
EGGs.- There has been little change in
the condition of the market since our last
report. Fancy fresh are scarce and wanted.
PoTAToEs.-Receipts by rail have been
considerably lighter than last week and we
have had good steady market for choice
stock.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export 918 boxes.
There is no sign of Improvement in the de-
mand and the market is in an exceedingly
dull and unsatisfactory condition.
CoRN.--The demand has ruled slow dur
ing the week, but the tone has gradually
hardened. Spot supplies have been kept
well sold up and this keeps prices at about
the cost to ship from the west.
POULTRY Choice northern turkeys sold
readily at zoe and best dry-packed western
at 16 to 1Sc with now and then fancy mark
cent or two higher. Choice chickens sold
at lac to 15C per pound, with common to
good at 10c to 12c per pound.
FLoUR.-The market is quiet and sales
have been mostly confined to a car or 80
here and there as buyers have required sup
plies. There is no speculative feeling and
| buyers will only operate to take the place of
goods that they are able to put out.
BUTTER.-Trade has been very quiet for
the past week and nothing new has devel-
| oped in the condition of the market. Re-
/ ceipts of fresh made stock are steadily fall
ing off, but there is still enough for the de-
mand. Prices remain as last quoted.
WooL-Sales for the week, $685., 900
pounds. The market is again more active,
and all wool above threeeight blood seem
| slightly firmer in price. The business done
during the week has been almost exclusively
sales for consumption. Speculation has
| figured to trivial extent.
LUMBER.-By this time about all the
water mills in Maine and the Provinces
have closed down, and but few cargoes re-
main to come forward. The cargo mills
thus eliminated throws the trade on to the
mills that ship by car. The latter, most adj
vantageously situated for this market, have
a great many orders on hand, and it is said
they could get great many more than they
now have. had they the facilities to fill
them.

1t seldom pays to retain strawberry

1t seldom pays to retain strawberry
plants more than two years. S. Pow
ers, strawberry specialist to the Florida
Experiment Station, says that careful,
energetic grower, can turn his beds un-
der every spring and replant them out
right in the fall more cheaply than he
can fight crab-grass all summer, labo-
riously scrspe and pick it out of the
beds in the fall and refill the many
missing places. To adopt this bold
course he should make sure of a gen.
erous provision of vigorous young
plants early in the fall or late summer,
then he may do it fearlessly.

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

constitutional disease, requires con-

upon the blood and mucous surfaces of

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

the poultrynan the expected profit, but
the health of the entire flock will amply
repay the little trouble and expense of
providing them with a place where
they can work for their living. 1t is
not so much the kind and amount of

1t is very Often that the nest in which
the chickens are Matched is 30 foul with
parasites that the chick has hard time
getting start. Tn is one advantage
of artificially Matched chickens, for they
come into the world with rarely bug
or insect upon them. This alone helps
to reduce the loss by death, and aids in
building up strong and healthy flock.

There are thousands of people in all
walks of life, particularly at this sea-
son, who are "not exactly right" and
yet are not sick, for whom a single
bottle OF Hoods Sarsaparilla would do
a world of good, as it has done for
others. Business and professional men
as well as the busy housewife are es-
pecially susceptible to this debilitated
feeling. 1t is the peculiar combination
of the best tonic, ambitious, diuretic

combined, which enables Hoods Sar-
saparilla to reach simple as well as
serious ailments when all other medi-
cines fail. Read Mrs. Hunts letter:

The tin plate lobbyists were before
the Ways and Means Committee on
Saturday demanding higher duties
on the flimsy and false pretense that
but for the reduction of duty BY the
Wilson bill, wsges would have tsen
advanced 25 per rent. What trans
parent zham this is. The tin plate
combine is governed in it's rate of
wages by what it can get labor for.
If the market is overstocked down
comes wages, and it has been over
stocked a long time. just In pro-
portion as wo threw Welsh workers
out they cahhe to this country in
search OF employment, and being
here they must have work or starve.
The tin plate combine does not ac-
cept the tariff law as factor in Ak
ing wages, but only the law of sup
ply of labor.
At present rates the tariff on tin
plate is 5l.S6 per cent, and it is like
ly to be increased. The trusts and
combines will pool their issues and
dictate terms to the Dingley com
mittee, For what else did they "put
up to Mark Hanna? To those who
think there should be a higher duty

the following remarks in the last is
sue of THE Iron Age" a recognized
authority in the iron and steel in
dustry.
American tin plates now monopo-
lie the market throughout the
United States, except ON the Pacific
coast, and are selling on the Atlantic
seaboard at from 25 to 40 cents be-
low the price at which Welsh plates
of corresponding grades. caii be laid
down there. tmportations are now

to lots designed for use by the ex-
porting oil and canned goods inter

per cent of, the duty on all such for
eign material reshipped abroad.
For long time past the price of
the domestic product has been lower
than that of imported tin plate, and
has been fixed by a combination
agreement. The advanced duty is

ties.
We have some sympathy with the
demand of the tin plate combine that
the 80 per cent rebate allowed the
Standard be repealed and that trust
forced to pay its share of the tax or
purchase American made plate. But
that is a war between rival trusts,
with which the great public has lit

unjust that Americans must be tax
ed to enable the Standard aud the
meatpaekers to sell their products
cheaper in Europe than in America.
