How 10 IL Conducted BY the Propristo,

" arrived in San Francisco and gave
some interesting details Of tho present
methods employed in their industry,
which has continued ever since the 90,

The whole coast OF the gulf Of Cali
fornia abounds in pearls, and the con-
cessions control the entire territory.
Until within the last few years native
divers were employed, and the depth to
which they could descend did not AK
ceed 80 feet
With the introduction Of diving ap-
paratus the limit Of depth was increased
to 80 fathoms. The best divers could
formerly remain under water not to ex-
oeed two minutes. "A modern diver
thinks nothing Of two hour stop In
water 100 feet in depth, though at
greater depths the stay is necessarily
shortened on account Of the enormous
pressure of the superintendent water.

THE COTTON DUTY.

The response from the South to the Sem
ate's action In placing an import duty on
raw cotton is pretty plain and emphatic.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal says
that 'the Republican party need not ex-
pect the 10000, 900 people Of the South are
going to be hilariously joyful because they
are to be taxed for the benefit Of few
thousand Sea Island cotton planters"
The Mobile Register says that Senator
Bacon 'overlooks the fact that his pro-
posed duty on cotton will be of no benefit
to the mass of Southern agriculturists; on
the contrary, it win be a burden upon
them.n

OverprOductiOn Of Small Fruits.

So many are entering into the raising
of small fruits that the question often
arises in regard to the probable over
production of them for the market.
Anyone who will look at the subject in
the right light will be convinced that
there is no danger of this. There will
always be a market for all the good
fruit placed upon it, says the Prairie
Farmer. "The best fruit sells first
and always brings in better returns. 1t
is always the poor quality, inferior fruit,
placed in unclean packages, that Is the
last to sell and brings poor returns. In
these times, when 80 many are enter
ing into the work of growing small
fruits for the markets, the grower must
see 10 it that proper care and attention
are given the plantation. He must
raise first quality fruit and thereby OBJ
tain first prices; give the proper care
and attention that will develop first
quality fruit; give civilizations neces-
sary to keep the soil loose and prevent
fruits Gin name only and weeds cannot
be grown together on the same soil.
Either one or the other will be a good
crop, and as a rule it is the weeds if
they are allowed to grow. Do not at
tempt to grow small fruits on WORKOUT
land. Land hat has produced crops
year after year without any fertilizer is
worn out and not fit to produce a crop
of small fruit. While you may give
the proper care and atte ntion to the
plantation in regard to planting and
cultivating, If the proper elements are
not in the soil you will o succeed in
securing a crop of good fruit. You may
secure a good stand of vines or canes
and yet you say you cannot get any
fruit. The trouble is the elements
necessary for the production of the
fruit are not in the soil. You must
study the plants growth and habits.
Give them what is lacking. A dairy
COW will give a good flow of milk on a
certain balanced ration, change the ra-
ton 10 one which has less milk produc-
ing qualities in it and you don't get the
flow of milk you did before. The dairy
COW is q sort of a machine. You feed
flow of milk. You see that that ration
has the i lk.producing qualities in it.
The plant of the strawberry and the
canes of the hush berries are just the
same as the cow-a sort of a machine.
You feed the plant the raw material,
and you get it back in the shape of
fruit. The better you feed the plants
the better will be the yield and quality
of the fruit. Place upon the markets
that which the markets demand. Do
not attempt to place upon the market a
variety which they do not want. Study
the market and find out which is he
greatest demand and then place that
variety there in first-class shape. Neat
packages, well made and put together,
properly marked and stenciled, sell
much better than cheap and dirty
boxes and crates. There is plenty of
room in the markets for those who
wish to place there first quality fruit
put up in a neat package. AS long as
the grower does this he will continue
10 find market for his fruit and get
good returns for it.-Green's Fruit
Grower.

Boston Wool Market.
Current Comment.

OATs.-The market has ruled rather cas-
lily with lower prices at the close.
BEANs.-The sales have been very light.
and the market closes with a dull, weak
tone.
CHEEsE.-We are still having a dull mar
ket, and buyers are only taking small lots
as wanted.
BUTTER-Receipts have been light, and
strictly fine fresh stock has kept we'll sold
up at steady prices.
POTAToEs.-Receipts nave fallen off con-
siderably, and the market has been firm, at
last weeks quotations.
CoRN.-There has been a quiet demand
noted, and the market has maintained a
steady tone as a whole.
FLoUR.-The market maintains a fairly
steady tone, but the demand has been slow,
with only hand to mouth necessities being
met.
EGGs.-Receipts have been moderate, but
the weather has been so warm and unfayor-
able that buyers have been working very
carefully, and the market has weakened a
little.
DRESSED PoULTRY.-Receipts have been
heavy for the past week, especially of ordi-
nary chickens and fowls. The weather has
been warm, and most everything arriving
has been in a more or less bad condition.
Demand has been extremely slack, and il
has been almost impossible to find buyers
at any reasonable prices.
WooL.-There has been a revival in the
demand for woods during the week. A
number of manufacturers have been on the
market and they have made some good pur-
chases, principally of foreign grades, and
would have bought more freely both of for
eign and domestic had dealers been more
lenient and accommodated them in the
matter Of price.
~LUMBER.-The season being now prac.
tically over there are no developments OF
note. What few cargoes arrived this week
sold readily and at what may be considered
fair prices. The yards by this time, how
ever, are pretty well stocked and will now
get their supplies for the remainder of the
season from the mills that ship by car. The
latter are doing only a moderate business al
present, however, and are realizing fair
prices,

Oil Your Cow.

The usual advice given regarding unprott-
able cow is to get rid of them as quickly
as you can. Don follow this advice until
you have looked carefully for the cause of
the trouble. 1t does not follow that a COW
is Improbable because she is incapable
of being profitable. Her milk producing
qualities may never nave been developed
The lining OF the stomachs and bowels may
be constantly in such a condition as to pre-
vent these organs from extracting all the
~milk-making qualities from the food. Per-
haps the blood needs vitaliZing or the
womb and other organs OF generation are
weak and need strengthening. These Or
gans in the COW as in the human animal
play the most important part in her make
up. If they are out of order the COW will
surely be Improbable. 1t was to cure Just
three troubles in cows that five years of
study and experimenting were put in and
the result Is Kow-Kure, a positive cure for
diseases OF the stomach, kidneys, blood and
private organs.
An engine that is allowed to go rusty can
not give satisfactory service. To do good
work 1t must be constantly kept in good
condition. Your COW is a sort Of machine
converting hay and grain into milk AS
the engine needs something beside fuel, so
your COW needs more than food. She needs
Kow.Kure. 1t will be TO her as oil is to the
machine. No COW can take this medicine
and not have a strong appetite, good di-
gestion and pure blood. 1t will make the
cow that you are now losing fifty cents per
week on into a COW that will yield you a
profit OF over $1.W per week. 1t has lone
this in thousands of cases. 1t will do it in
yours.
Kow-Kure is a medicine especially de-
signed for the COW and it is the only remedy
known that entirely fits her case. 1t is
carefully compounded Of twelve drugs
which may be divided into four sets: There
is one set acting directly on the womb and
other organs OF generation. another set act
ing on the stomach, another on the blood
and the fourth on the kidneys and bladder.
Kow-Kure is in every sense a medicine
and in no sense a food.
Do not class Kow-Kure in with the cure
all for horses, cattle, sheep. poultry and
swine, nor with certain Foods" Kow-
Kure is a medicine and for cows only.
Kow-Kure cures cows. Price fifty cents

Mich Cows AND SPRINGERs.-A fairly
good inquiry for cows noted. Good mixers
brought from S45 to S55 per head. Drovers
say supply of good cows is not large
and are firm in their views. Medium cows
sold at S35 to 45 per head. Even common
grades were in better demand.
