The Future of Wool.

Owing to the uncertainty caused by
the war it is somewhat difficult to fore
cast the future of the wool market.
Manufacturers undoubtedly have a
large supply on hand at present, and
they will not increase it, but await
developments. The demand is very
slight, and, in fact, no sales are taking
place at present. Under these circum-
stances the prices quoted in the market
reports are merely nominal. However,
none of the holders of old wool are
willing to sacrifice it; all are waiting
for higher prices, and the likelihood is
that they will get them.
The probabilities are that this year s
crop will be largely forwarded and
held on consignment until better times
arrive, and we consider this the wisest
course for growers to follow. When
bushes starts to improve then the buy
ers will enter the market with rush,
for there is nothing in the way of high
er prices.
Under present conditions wool cannot
be sold for what it is really worth, and
pushing it onto the market means sacri-
fee. In all probability the present
stock in the central markets is much
larger than the average person believes.
Boston, Philadelphia and New York
are all carrying large supplies and it
will take some time to work them off.
Until this is done prices will be kept
down. As stated before our advise to
woolgrowers is to hold on for better
prices. They will come in time

DISAPPOINTMENT. With Poultry.

Disappointment come frequently to
the keeper of poultry, but most often
to the man that expects to get great
deal of money out of the poultry bust
ness with little work. He buys lot
of hens, builds big house, fences off
big lot, makes numerous nests and
puts the fowls and the establishment
together. He expects they will take
care themselves, and they do it, after
fashion. The lice multiply and the
eggs diminish. The fence breaks down
and the providing animals get in. He
feeds without regard to their health,
and the birds get Indigestion. Disas-
ter after disaster comes upon him. The
little chicks fall a prey to lice, cats
and rats. Now and then hawk
swoops down and carries away fat
pullet. The gapes get into the Threats
of the chicks, and they begin to fall
over and die. The old birds succumb
to indigestion and the flock rapidly de-
creases. All of this comes as result
OF too little work put on the flock.

Seven Hundred Years of Coal.

According to the most authentic his
ncry of the coal trade, last year marked
the tooth anniversary of the use of coal
as fuel. Taking the most moderate es-
innate of the antiquity of man, and
considering the fact that the coal was
always here, 1t appears that we were
long time In avalling ourselves of this
most valuable asset which nature
placed at our disposal. Many clviliza-
lions fiourished and died out without
Its use, and 1t may be said that Its po-
tentialfties, as factor in the progress
of mankind, were never realized fully
until the present century. Up to its
dawn, aside from the warming of the
body and the cooking of food, little Inn
portance was attached to the fuel ques-
ton. For these purposes a few fagots
or billets of wood sufficed. But in time
we discovered that In the fire there was
giant a thousand times more power
ful than the tabled monsters Of antiq-
uity.
Then the fuel question became the
allimportant one. With Its aid all the
liaClSo vi the ages were 10 DE sur
passed. Give to a nation or a COM
munity abundant fuel, and it could
levy greater tribute upon the rest of
the world than had ever been exacted
by the greatest conquerors. When its
possibilities We're realized, and when
mankind was ready to take advantage
of them, behold 1t was found ready to
hand, stored in the earth In the shape
Of coal. This has been called an age of
iron and steel; but little claim would
1t have to that designation were it not
for coal. More than gold or iron, or
kings, or princes, or battles, or revolu-
lions, has 1t affected the fate of man.
Kind. 1t is notable anniversary, and
t Is surprising that more should not
have been made of it.-Pittsburg

plans for Ruling the philippines.

New York. A special telegram from
Washington says: Major-General Mer-
rift, who is to 90 to the Philippines as
Military Governor, is expected to gov
ern them under martial law until Con-
gress decides what shall finally be
done with thems There is little doubt
that they will be permanently held by
the United States. In view of the
jealousy existing among European ma
tons many Senators and Representa-
tives believe that it will be more diff
cult to relinquish control of the Philip
pines than to hold them.
In view of this belief some consider
alton is already being given to the
problem of devising civil government
for the islands when the war is ended.
The extension of the territorial system
of the United States to the Philippines
is out of the question, as it will be a
great many years before the inhabitants
are capable of any degree of self-govern-
ment. The proposition that seems to
meet most favor is to have the govern
ment of the islands administered by a
board of three commissioners, to be
composed of two civilians and one
officer of the United States Army, as
in the District of Columbia. When the
number of Americans in the islands in
creases sufficiently very limited form
OF popular government might be intro
duced, to be expanded in the future.
Tariff taxes are to be collected by
military authorities and are to be
turned into the United States Treasury.
As the war progresses the same system
of collecting taxes is to be applied to
such Spanish territory as may be occu-
pied, thus compelling the conquered
territory to aid in defraying the ex-
penses of the war.
Until such time as Congress shall
take action formally annexing the
Philippines or any other conquered
Spanish territory to the United States,
all goods coming from such territory
will be taxed at United States custom-
houses just the same as goods from
other countries.

How 40 Be sueee..ful wien pes..

Scarcely any one is incapable OF
handling and controlling bees. 1t is
simply a mistaken idea of some people
that bees have a special dislike for
them, and that only certain individuals
can handle bees 1t is only necessary
TO know how to handle bees for anyone
to succeed with them. To handle bees
properly it is not necessary to go to
war with them, but absolutely wrong.
II We should undertake To fight a
colony of bees into subsection the fight
would continue till the last bee of the
hive was dead, providing we held out
that long ourselves.
Bees can only be handled successful
ly by kind treatment, and by studying
their habits and becoming well in
formed of their nature and mode of
doing things. Any one may succeed
with them by taking Advantage of their
weak points. Smoke is the controlling
agent to be adopted in handling bees.
BY smoking bees they become excited
and will at once proceed to fill them
selves with honey, and when thus
filled are perfectly peaceable and will
allow themselves to be abused, robbed,
and even killed without offering any
resistance. The Cyprian bees are the
only ones l ever had that at times
would resist smoke and in order to
handle them l have used simply kind
treatment and careful manipulation,
and fully succeeded. II we but take
the time, we may handle any colony of
bees without the aid of smoke by care
full manipulation if we get well ac-
quainted with their nature and habits.
If you are afraid of bees you will not
get along with them very well, and
the greater fear the less success you
will have. The fear of bee stings keeps
many from engaging in bee culture.
This reason to the practical apiarist
appears very foolish indeed. You may
say that bees sting persons whether they
are afraid of them or not. This may be
true to some extent, but am satisfied
that fear causes almost 80 per cent of
all stings received. Bees seem to dis.
likel all rapid-moving objects. You
may walk slowly through your apiary
and not bee will modest you, but on
the other hand, if you pass rapidly
among them some of the bees are likely
to follow you, and hence your actions
have much to do with it.-A. II. Duff

RANKS OPEN TO ALL CITIZENS,
The Present Call for Volunteers Does
Not Favor the Militia.

Washington.-The issuance of proc
lamation by the President calling for
rs, 900 more volunteers has added a
new and stirring phase to the lethargic
conditions which have prevailed of
late. The proclamation means not only
the assembling of large force OF
troops, but also the appointment of a
number of major-generals, brigadier-
generals, colonels, majors, staff and
field officers, for the organization of
this additional force of 70, 900 men into
army corps, divisions, brigades and
regiments.
Secretary Alger stated that the de-
termination to issue the call had not
been reached until late Yesterday.
The merits of it have been canvassed
more or less for some weeks, but it was
not until few hours before the call
itself appeared that the move was final
ly decided upon.
1t is settled that the enlistments are
to be thrown open, much as they were
at the our break of the Civil War, and
are not to be restricted to the militia
and national guard organizations of the
several states. 1t will be an encourag-
ment to the organization Of independ-
ent volunteer companies and regiments.
These will retain their identity to q
certain extent as state troops, as the
Governors will have the appointment
of all company and regimental officers,
while only the brigade, division, corps
and staff officers will be appointed by
the President.
The Pacific Coast States will be ex-
pected to supply troops approximately
as follows: California, 1888; Nevada,
142; Oregon, $40; Washington, 7O4;
Idaho, 1879; Montana, 3l4; Utah, 255.
The new force will require, either by
appointment or by officers already ap.
pointed, three Major-Generals and
about twenty-four Brigadier-G Generals.
The Colonies, Lieutenant-Co Colonies,
Majors, Captains and Lieutenants are
appointed by the Governors of the
various states as the law provides that
ali regimental and company officers
shall be appointed by the Governors OF
the states in which their respective
organizations are raised.
