FINE WOOL IS SCARCE.
Holders of the Article in the United
states Are Facing n Very Prom
ising situation.

The increasing demand for good
mutton is doubtless inducing nearly
all of the smaller sheep farmers to
cross their Merinoes, if they possess
any, with some of more distinctly NUT
ton breeds, in view of charging the
carcasses for the increasing profit
there is in doing so. Report says the
shortage in fine wool the world over
Is daily becoming more apparent. Adj
vices from Australia show another
shortage of 100000 bales of wool, this
time on the new clip. Continued
drought has cut short and greatly en-
feebled the last crop of lambs, and
scarcity of winter feed threatens to
make extensive inroads upon the stock
of weak and impoverished ewes. The
present Australian wool clip is light
and much of it poor in quality. The
next seasons clip will show still
greater falling off in quantity and
quality. ross-breeding has cut down
the fine wool clip of Argentina to very
modest proportions. France and Ger
many produce considerably less fine
staple than formerly and, with the pos
sible exception of Russia, there has
been no noticeable increase in the pro-
duction of fine wool in any one of the
leading wool-growing countries, but
rather material and serious diminu-
ton. In the United States the amount
of fine wool of home growth is alarm
ingly small. Stocks of fine staple in
store or factory are steadily going in
to consumption, with comparatively
little in sight anywhere in the world,
to replace them. Growers and holders
of fine wool are facing very promis-
ing situation in which there are no
possible contingencies of loss.-Farm-
er's Union.

the engraving; it makes sort of vesti
bule, sheltcring the interior of the
coop from the hot sun and sudden
driving showers. At night it is let
down, and makes the coop warm, dry
and safe from rats, skunks and other
nocturnal providers. Above the flap is
an opening for ventilation, covered
with wire cloth.
When chicks are eight weeks old
two roosts are fastened into the coop
a few inches above the ground, and the
youngsters make the coop their night
ly lodging until nearly full grown.
This saves them from great deal of
persecution and suffering to which
they are liable if placed with the older
fowls at night as soon as the mother
hen is removed.
At all times when the coop is occu-
pied it is shifted to fresh ground as
frequently as once week, and is fire.
Quently turned over and sprayed inside
with kerosene.-George S. Martin, in

Aug. 16.-President Mckinley has de.
cided to reduce the army immediate
ly and at least 10000 men will DO
mustered out. The gunboat Man
grove bombarded Caibarien August
Is, the commander not having heard
of the signing of peace. After q
Spanish gunboat had been damaged
word was brought from the town
under flag of truce that the war
was over.
Aug. 17.-Gen. Merritt as military gov
ernor took formal possession of Ma
Mia. Gen. Merritt and Admiral Dewey
were instructed that the Philippine
insurgents must recognize the au.
thority of the United States, and
that there could be no joint occupa-
ton of the city. The massacre Of
more than 100 natives of Puerto
Rico by Spanish troops on August
Is confirmed. The only offense OF
the people was in raising an Amer.
lean flag at Cieles.

SHADE FOR THE BEES.
as Much as They Require
Plenty of Water.

In warm weather shade is quite nee
essary for bees. If the hives are in
sunny location, as they usually are,
shade may be easily provided by plac-
ing board two feet wide on the top
of the hive with cleat between the
lid and the board for an air space. II
it is not desired that the bees swarm,
plenty of hive room should be provided,
and if swarms are desired a little
crowding will usually start the new
colony off. Of course, honey storing is
abandoned during the swarming period,
and care should be taken to furnish
every facility for hiving the swarms as
quickly as possible SO that they viii re-
turn to business. Hives set near few
dwarf pear trees are well located, for
nine times out of ten the swarm will
alight on the pear trees, where they
are easily handled without the use of
ladders. Water is necessary for bees:
in warm weather especially, and they
have particular fondness for water
little salty. Keep shallow vessels
near the hives filed with salt water in
which are placed few chips of wood
en- which the bees may rest while drink
