Justifiable Speculation.


Again, have to remark that Wall
street is type throughout the country
Of legitimate speculation on the one
hand and of ruinous gambling on the
other. Almost every merchant is to
some extent speculator. He depends
not only upon the difference between
the wholesale price at which he gets
the goods and the retail at which he
disposes Of them, but also upon the
fuctuation of the markets. If the mar
kets greatly rise, he greatly gains. If
the markets greatly sink, he greatly
loses. It is as honest to deal in stocks
as to deal In iron or coal or hardware
or dry goods. He who condemns all
stock dealings as though they were in
tquitous simply shows his own ignor-
ance. Stop all legitimate speculation
in this country and you stop all banks,
you stop all factories, you stop all
storehouses, you stop all the great
financial properties of this country.
A stock dealer is only a commission
merchant under another name. He
gets his commission on one style Of
goods. You. the grocer, get your COM
mission on another style of goods. The
dollar that he makes is just as bright
and fair and honest dollar as the dol
lar earned by the day laborer. But
here we must draw the line between
Legitimate speculation and ruinous
gambling. You, stock operator with
out any property behind you, financial
" irresponsible, sell s1O0 of nothing
and get paid for it.. You sell 100 shares
at $40, 900 at 80 days. II at the end Of
30 days you can get the scrip for s9.0003

Peafowls are not only ornamental,
but excellent for the table. They are
slow in reaching maturity, and the hen
seldom lays before she is two years
old. The chicks, however, grow very
rapidly at first, but as they begin to
feather almost at the start of life
they require frequent feeding or they
will perish. They soon begin to fly,
and roost on the highest positions
they can fnd. The hen lays from ten
to sixteen eggs, according to age and
treatment. The young chicks should
be fed the same as young turkeys, but
meat, finely chopped, should be given
three times a week after the first
week. The male is d quarrelsome bird
in the barnyard, and often makes
short work of young chicks. They
are more ornamental than profitable
though the tail feathers may be pulled
for sale as soon as the moulting season
begins.-Mirror and Farmer.

BUzzINGs FROM BEEDoM.

The young and unsealed brood
should always occupy the center of the
brood nest.
The best time to improve the bee:
by selecting and breeding is early il
the season.
1t is unwise to draw from moderate
Iy strong stocks too early in the sea-
son to strengthen weak ones
In spreading brood combs and in
serting empty combs, car must be
taken not to spread too rapidly.
In order to obtain the greatest
amount of honey swarming~ orincrease
must be controlled to some extent.
The principal objection to clipping
the wings of the queen to prevent
swarming is the liability of losing the
queen.
Bees must have plenty of water con
venient. In the spring if a little salt
is added all the better. A salt barrel
with water in it will do.
So far as can be done it will be found
very desirable to keep each variety
of honey separate when it is stored
throughout the season.-National Ru.

The Color of Egg Shells.

There is no uniformity in the colors
of the eggs. The breeds that lay brown
eggs do not produce them always OF
a dark color. Even two sisters will
vary the color of their eggs. The tend.
ency is to lay eggs that are white. It
is an old expression that "all non-sit-
ters lay white eggs" 1t is also claimed
that the greater the tendency of the
hen to set, the darker the color of her
eggs. When it is reported that a
Leghorn produces eggs that have
brown shells it may be claimed as a
freak, or something unusual, though
it is not an ~impossibility, and where
such cases arise they are exceptions;
but outside of the non-sitters the
eggs from hens of 7 @arly all breeds
viii vary greatly in color.-Farm and

Where poultry is raised in large nuin-
bers on the so-called poultry farms it
will pay well to put in speciaIcrops to
supply the required green food. Plen-
ty of greens are essential in late fall
and during winter, if best egg results
are to be ATTAINED. There are a num-
Der of things that are s~uitableto plant
for the purpose. If there is a field
that the fowls can nave access to dur

near enough to their quarterS-crim-
son clover planted about the middle
of August will make a splendid win
ter pasture and viii supply required
nitrogen for ~egg-making to form a
balanced ration with other FOOD given.
The clover can be turned unda- early
in May or before with great benefit to
the land, so the crop can be made to
serve 4 double purpose. Rye Ian be
used in the same way, but it is not con-
sidered as valuable for either Purpose

leave some of the turnips in the

them good. Farmers who do much

crops, and it will be a good Investment

Cured of Eatarrh of the Stomach

but never effects cure. Remedies for
dyspepsia have multiplied SO rapidly
that they're becoming as numerous
as the leaves of the forest, and yet
dyspepsia continues to flourish in
spite of them all. This is due TO the
fact that the cause of dyspepsia Is not
recognized as catarrh.
IF there is a remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations that
is in every particular adapted to dys-
pepsia, that remedy is Peruna. This
remedy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.

ROOM AT TIE TOP.
IN Man Who is Determined to Win
VIII Succeed in spite of All
Obstacles

The old school maXims There is al
ways room at the top.""No excellence
without great labor" etc.. etc, are as
true in after life work as they are for
the youngster who is just launching
out to try his hand at ~eonquering the
world. They may be old and common
place. but if there ever has been any
truth in them it is still there. The
great trouble with most people after
they have passed a certain age or have
had a certain amount Of experience
they begin to formulate maxims and
ideas of their OWE and those which
were good in their earlier life are dis
,arded.
Even in the most humble and obscure
work we find one man advancing more
rapidly than another. Among hewers.
of wood and drawers of water we find
leaders, those who take an honest
pride in their work and by their own
efforts advance themselves beyond
those who toll with them. Careful
study and an absorbing interest will
show an improvement in the live stock
and crops of the farm. The mar who
desires to be the best feeder, breeder
or farmer in his neighborhood viii
find an inspiration in his work that
those who do not care to improve viii
never know. There is room at the top
for the man who wants to get there in
any line of business. If the bottom is
satisfactory to a man he will be likely
to be found there. If some men would
cultivate a little more ambition and
fewer weeds they would be much bet
ter off. Not failure but low aim is
