BOSTON MARKET.

Boston. July 11.-There Is a steady
market on flour, with moderate trade.
Confidence seems to be on the increase
In spring patents, and all spring wheat
flours, In fact. The small visible supply
includes so little spring wheat that it is
plain that something Of shortage must
be felt before the new wheat Is ready
for grinding. Winter wheat flours con-
tinue to be offered for forward delivery
at easy prices, and spring wheat fiours
are also offered low, to be made from
new wheat. Flour Is quoted by the
chamber Of commerce price committee
as follows: Spring wheat. clear. SAC
4.5O; straight, $425@4.75; patents, $4.75
W565; winter wheat, clears, $4@4.65;
straights, 4.25Q4.90; patents, $4.7O@5.25.
The best known spring patents, in not
less than 10-car lots, sight draft, ship
,ment from the mills, are quoted at $50
ELS.
The meal markets are little changed:
Barrel cornmeal, $1.SO@1S5; bag meal,
SQSOc; yellow graduated, $2.S0@2.50;
rolled and ground oatmeal, $3.S5@4.25;

quite an increase in the demand for ex-
port: No. yellow, to arrive, 4Ok@
4O%c; No. yellow, 4O@4OAc; track
steamer yellow, 4Oc; No. yellow, 400

LIVESTOCK MARKET.

The beef situation Is scarcely as firm
as expected early in the week. 1t is
plain that lack Of demand has taken
some of the strength out of the market,
which strength was purely worked up
from the standpoint of the owners Of
beef in the west. Quotations are easier
than earlier in the week, though rumps
and loins are still very firm. The ar
rivals of beef for the week have been
larger, and the supply on hand in this
market is larger than week ago. The
arrivals have included 154 cars for Bos-
ton and 11S cars for export, a total of 267
cars; preceding week, 139 cars for Bos-
ton and 1913 cars for export, total of
262 cars; same week year ago, 1876 cars
for Boston and 107 cars for export,
total of 292 cars.
Iced poultry is dull and easy under a
supply larger than immediate require
ments. There is but little fresh killed
stock coming forward.
The pork position is quiet, with little
change. Lard is firmer than early in
the week, and yet quotations are no
stronger.
Talow is firmer Bulk tallow, $50

formerly.
Beyond all these known causes, how

too rapid civilization is often fatal to
primitive races. The sudden inflow of
new impressions on unprepared nerve
centers breaks them down. The wear
ing of clothes seemed for time to make
the native women barren, as they paid
no attention to the ordinary rules for
keeping their raiment in healthful con-
dition. Another cause has lately been
assigned in these words: Hawaii is
holiday land-a lazy land--a soft, lux
nrious, voluptuous land-and the de-
preston from safety is correspondingly

no firm and high resolve, and SO when
melancholy comes it kills"
No other man dies SO easily and gently
as a true Kanaka. He can lie down and
die whenever the notion takes him, and
with no apparent disease. This happens
among many dark races, but with none
so often as the Kanakas. Captain Cook
guessed their number at 100000, and it
may have been half that. In 1922 the
missionaries placed it at $4,000. The
first regular census, in 1882, returned
the population at 13O,313. In 1872 the
natives were returned at $500 and all
others at 1896, and then the tide turned.
The pure Kanakas. it is true, have de-
creased little, but foreigners and half
breeds have increased rapidly, and here

The statement Of the Quincy Market
Cold Storage company for the week is
as follows: Put in, 17,49S tubs; taken
out, 800 tubs; stock, 114,972 tubs, against
ll6,464 tubs same time last year. For
the corresponding week last year %. 3S1
tubs were put in and $50 tubs taken out.
According to this statement the stock
in cold storage is 1892 tubs less than
last year, but there is probably enough
more in the Eastern Cold Storage COM
panys warehouse to make up the diff
ference.
While the receipts in June ran a little
smaller than in the same month last
year, the receipts in May were consider
ably larger, and the total for the two
months shows an increase Of 271 900
pounds. The exports for the two months
are not one-third as large as last year,
and after deducting these and the
stocks, the estimated consumption is
9,571,SS5 pounds, or 730, 1872 pounds more
than for the two months last year. In
this estimate the stock in the other ware
house is not taken into account. If it
was, the consumption might not show
much if any increase.

First Suction Dredging.

Probably the first successful at
tempt at suction dredging was on the
construction Of the Amsterdam canal
in 1867, wherea centrifugal pump was
fitted to an old bucket dredge. A YER
tical shaft, driving spinner" three
feet six inches in diameter was fitted
near the bottom of an upright cylin-
der twelve feet high, so arranged that
the contents of the buckets falling
through it were met by the ascending
column of water from the centrifugal
pump. This liquefied the silt, and it
was forced to the shore through wood
en- pipes placed on buoys or floats.
These pipes were connected by leather
joints or sleeves. This machine
could deposit at point 1900 feet dis
tant 1000 tons of solid matter to q
height of eight feet above water sur
face in twelve hours. Three years
later double machines of this kind
were used ON canal work at Cron-
stadt, Russia. Attached to the ver-
tical shaft of this machine, however,
were water jets under high pressure,
which were directed into the cylinder.
By this means stiff clay could be suf-
ticiently broken up to be moved
ashore. This kind of machine was
afterward employed on the Danube
Engineering Magazine.

electrical engineers of prominence

The Canalman.

A canalman, unless there happens
to be member of his family who can
help him, hires a man called 'the
hand" The men who run the boats
come from various positions in life to
become canalmen. Some have been
farmers, who own farms along or near
the canal, and not few have been
born and lived all their lives on
canal boat. Perhaps one of the most
unusual cases is that of well-educat-
ed man who was formerly a Methodist
minister, but is now, and has been for
several years, living with his family
on one of these boats and driving
mules for living.
The majority, however, are rough
and Ignorant, and the proverbial
swearing is to be heard in its most re.
pulsive forms. One notices frequent
ly lame or crippled man in charge of
boat, since this is one of the few
positions in which a manned person is
able to earn a livelihood. A canal
mans family, if he has one, lives with
him on the boat during the open sea-
son, and the rest of the year some live
on little plots of ground, often too
small to be called farms, or perhaps
they may live in one of the larger
towns nearby.-Godey's Magazine.

DRYING Cur Potatoes.

1t is very important that potato
sets cut for seed should be thoroughly
dried on their surface before planting.
If put in the ground while moist they
will quickly rot. 1t is quite common
to sprinkle gypsum or land plaster on
the cut surface, under the idea that
the plaster being dry will absorb the
pieces of the potato as they exude. In
stead of this, the gypsum only causes
the cut surface to blacken and be
rather more likely to decay than be-
fore. Fine powdered lime is much
better for this purpose. 1t absorbs
water until it takes in all it can hold.
In early planting lime is especially
useful, for it helps to dry the moist
soil, and thus prevents the potatoes
from rotting in the hill.

Temperance and AthletIcs.

The Duke OF Connaught recently spoke
OF the improved sobriety In the British
army since he Joined It. 1t Is no doubt
very remarkable, and some OF the credit
must be given to the Army Temperance AS
sociatlon. But something is also due to
the improvement in the social habits Of the
officers, from whom the men naturally take
example; something, moreover, to the In
PRODUCTION OF short service, as vt was mainly
old soldiers who were the best customers
Of the canteen. And there Is something,
further, In the proof which several OF Lord
Wolseley's campaigns ind the recent fight
ing OF Gatacre's Brigade have given, that
abstinence from stimulants does no harm
In the field, and therefore cannot hurt men
In camps and quarters. But the main i'm
provement is undoubtedly due to the In
creased attention given TO gymnastic work
and to athletic sports. Men who go In for
these cannot attain excellence II they drink
to excess. And that has wrought q silent
revolution which Is none the less effective
because 1t is not talked about. All these
things together have consplred to make
the soldier the self-respecting man he Is
to-day.-London Chronicle.

Boiled wheat is food much relished.
Feed night meal an hour before
dusk.
Proper feeding means health and
profit.
Good stock almost always finds quick
sale.
Be very careful to keep the feed
troughs clean.
Beans are a good feed because they
are nitrogenous.
Undulating land is better for the
growth of crops than level soil.
Green bone is a valuable food for
growing chicks and matured fowls.
Ground oats, cornmeal and bran
constitute proper foods for poultry.
Filthy quarters produce sickness,
and sick hens will not produce eggs.
STEPPED clover, mixed with the
morning hash, Is great egg pro-
ducer.
Ten hens in a house 10x10 feet are
enough. The yard should be at least
ten times as large as the floor of the
house.
On the average, perhaps it costs us
about 81 head to feed our poultry
for year; therefore the hen has to
lay about 100 eggs to pay for her
keeping. 1t is only after that that the
clear profits come in.

Intensive Farming In Kansas.

In the Introductory to the report of
the Kansas State Board of Agriculture
Secretary Coburn says: "Kansas
farmers are learning year by year that
their business, if profitable. must be
so conducted that it is not the mere
playing of game of chance with the
weather or with single crop; that a
somewhat diversified, and yet not toe
scattering agriculture and studying
of and adaptation to climatic condi-
tions, the demands and the markets
are essential mot more, perhaps, but
as much) in Kansas as elsewhere.
Those who most fully recognize these
conditions and most intelligently re-
spond to their inexorab!e requirements
are realizing a fair or large prosper
ity. Others who persistently defy or
deny them are ready to declare that
farming is no longer source of
profit, that farmers are slaves OF. those
in other pursuits, aud that the times
are politically, financially and morally
out of joint. Although no vocation is
all pleasure or all profit, the men who
conduct the business of farming with
the same energy and skill as the sue
cesful merchant or professional man
will reap the same and, as rule, n
greater and more certain measure of
reward; the time has passed, however,
if it ever existed, when fortunes were
made by unsKilled owners of farms,
large or small, anywhere. Convincing
proof of either proposition can be
found in almost any one of the 105
counties in Kansas. Muscle, to win,
must be fabricated with brains"
