DISPOSING OF HONEY.

How to dispose Of the honey crop

The value of the bee in the work of
fertilizing plants by carrying pollen
from one plant to another is greater
than its use in producing honey, says
the Southwest. In fact, without the aid
OF bees many crops would be complete
failures. Darwin found that in 100
heads of purple clover protected from
the visitations of bees not a seed was
prod uced. while lUoheads visited by bees
produced nearly 1900 seeds. When two
varieties of certain plants are grown in
the same neighborhood there is a liabil-

Prof. Henry says. in Feeds and
Feeding" the demand for w~ell-fattened
lambs steadily increases. the tender.
juicy meat finding favor among Amer
leans. Not only do prices for fat lambs
rule high as compared with mature
sheep and farm animals generally. but
there are other advantages in favor OF
feeding of lambs before they reach ma
,urity. A given weight of feed goes
further with the lambs than mature
sheep; the money invested is sooner
returned, and there Is less risk from
death and accident. Thus, everything
tends towards hurrying lambs to mar
ket as rapidly as they can be fattened
and as early as they can be disposed OF

A v HERO'S STORY.


From the Times-Herald. Chicago. Ill.
Late in 1861, when President Lincoln is
sued a call for volunteers, l.. j. Clark, of
Warner, Trumbull Co, Ohio, was among
the first TO respond. He joined the mortar
feet of Admiral Porter just before the
memorable operations on the VI Mississippi
River began. 1t was at the terrific lombard
ment of the Vicksburg forts that the hero of
this story fell with a shattered arm from a
charge OF schrapnel.
After painful months in the hospital he
recovered sufficiently to be sent TO his home
at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops
fred his patriotic zeal and Clark soon en-
listed in Company IL Of the 9TH Ohio Vol
unteers. In the army of the Potomac he
was in many engagements. Being wounded
in a skirmish near Richmond, he was sent to
the hospital and thence home.

have only been 1,466500 pounds for the
week, and about fifth of la st years
for the quarter. Prices of wool are in
all markets only nominal, though there
are sales at concessions. The demand
for boots and shoes continues, and
shipments have been 10 per cent. larg-
er for March, but after the extraordi-
nary buying of late the new orders
are limited, leather is in small demand,
and hides at Chicago have declined
about per cent. on the average, money
to carry speculative ventures indef-

The iron and steel markets show no

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Il FAILING orr IN THE NUMBER
OF FAILURES.
Rates for Money Have Advanced and the
Six Per Cent. Which Used to be the
Ruling Rate in Active Times Again
Prevails-Great Imports of Gold.


New York, April In. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
Tomorrow: In spite of foreign condi-
lions since the destruction of the
Maine, February Is, failures in three
months are smaller than in the first
quarter of any year since 1886; the ra-
ito of defaulted liabilities to payments
through clearing houses has been the
smallest from that quarter since 1881;
the average of liabilities per firm in
business has been the smallest since
1880, and the average of liabilities per
failure has been lower than ever be-
fore in any quarter. Rates of money
have advanced, and the 6 per cent.
which used to be the ruling rate in ac-
tive times again prevails, which COM
pels many spectators to liquidate. But
the imports of gold, $21, 100000, have
been received thus far, with $44 ,40S, 800
ordered in all, including $9,966,50O this
past week, go far to prevent any real
anxiety.
1t is admitted that unliquidated mer-
chandise balances against Europe were
far larger than bankers had expected,
and March exports from New York so
per cent larger than last year, in spite
of per cent. increase in imports here,
indicate a further merchandise balance
of about S23, 600 for that month.
The outgo of breadstuffs continues.
For the past five weeks from both
coasts the exports have been 1852, 917
bushels against S,226,256 last year.
Wheat has declined slightly, but corn
has advanced one quarter cent. for the
week Cotton has advanced an eighth
because of the idea that production
may be reduced, although receipts from
plantations thus far have been greater
by about 900 bales than in 1895 from
the largest crop ever raised, and while
the mills are now nearly all active the
consumption does not exceed the max
imum.
