1t WILL be az once noticed that there
have been two distinct periods of high
prices since 1890. One was in the first
three or four years of the period covered,
the others in the last three years. Both
may be regarded as periods OF prosperity,
and the contrast with the intervening
''hard times" years is quite marked.
There can be no doubt that if the aver
age for the first quarter Of 1902 could
be aseertained it would show an advance
over 1901. This would surely be the case
as to farm products foods and house fur
nishing articles, in which tAe upward ten

was quite strong and las not yet stopped.
1t will also be noticed that the aver
age of all commodities in 1900 and 1901
was almost as high as in the flush
years, Of 1890 and 1891, Notwithstanding
the wonderful progress made during the
decade in the economies of production
by the Introduction of labor-saving ma
chineTy, industrial combinations and
cheaper money. The showing made by
the figures is such as to cause consumers
to pause and ask if they are getting their
fair share of the benefits of industrial
progress. progress whose constant aim
is to make things better and cheaper for
the use and comfort Of the masses. The
1901 price for all commodities is far
above the average OF the last decade.

In order to ascertain the condition of
fruit or provisions which are stored in
an ordinary barrel man must either
empty the barrel or, at any rate, re-

Another advantage is that in this

Neither the gardens nor field beans
need a very strong heavy SOIL They
do better on a light loam, rather sandy
than c'ayey. 1t is warmer than the
clay or muck, soil. md thus admits of
being planted earlier, and the bean Is
almost tropical in its liking for hot
weather and wanm land. If the soil
is made too rich the vines may grow
so rank as to shade the ground, keep
ing it cold, which results in less beans,
and there is more tendency to spot or
rust on a damp, cold soil Barnyard
manure is better than that from the
horse stables, as the bean needs but
little nitrogen. Like clover, it gath
ers nitrogen by means of the nodules
on its roots. The manure should be
well rooted, and fresh manure should
never be used.-American Cultfvator.

that this will prove boon in the case
of fruit and provisions is undoubted.
A Good serd Bed.


The Importance of having land made
well pulverized and mellow before
seeds are sown or planted in 1t Is not
all in the fact that the roots penetrate
it better when so than when 1t is in
coarse Jumps, and thus find more cas-
lily the plant food that is in it, though
this is an important consideration. but
it Is true that the seed terminates more
rapidly after two or three days, and
with some varieties a week, before it
comes up in soil that is but half work
ed, in which, by the way, much seed
may fan to terminate at ALL The soil
that is fine and mellow fits closely
around the seed and gives a supply OF
moisture to all parts alike. 1t excludes
the drying air, and yet it is more even
ly warmed by a bright sun, which helps
to draw up moisture from below by
capillary attraction. An extra day
spent in putting field in good condi-
ton before the seed is put In will not
only hasten the growth ana maturity
of the crop, but will increase its
amount.

Curry the Cows.

The currycomb and brush is just as
needful on the cow as ON the horse.
Cows should be curried and brushed
daily, and before milking the teats and
udder should be carefully wiped, so
that all uncleanliness is removed;
furthermore, the cloth used for this
purpose should not be used for more
than one milking The hands should
be perfectly clean, and the first milk
from each teat should go onto the floor,
but never into the pail, for there is
likely to u; 10 Bacteria in this first spoon

cows in this way, and to keep the milk

How to Grow Cow Peas.

To grow COW peas the soil should be
prepared the same as for the corn crop,
and if the best result. especially in the
seed crop. is desired, some fertilizer
should be used. The varieties selected
should be those that will ripen the crop
before early fall frosts, hence in North
these sorts should be the early ones
such as Warren's extra early and Early
Blackeye. The later varieties may be
grown with success in all sections Of
the South. According to the section
the seed shoUid be sown frcm the mid
die Of May 20 the middle of June,
and be drilled In at the rate OF
twelve pounds per acre drilling
them in rows from two and one
half feet TO three feet apart each

its Constitution. we are under strong
arrangements that will in some degree
compensate the island for the political
concessions we have exacted. President
Roosevelt evidently had this IN mind when.
in urging reciprocity of trade in his
Charleston speech. he said: I'VE must
give to Cuba a better position economically
in her relations with US than we give to
other powers" adding: This is the course
dictated by sound policy. by a wise and
far-sighted view of our own interests. and
by the position we have taken during the
past four years" Under the circumstances
there was reason to hope that a bill pro-
viding for generous reciprocity Of trade
with Cuba would go through the House
without opposition, and so it would have
done but for the interference of the beet
sugar interest. 1t is doubtful if the en-
tire history of Congress would show
parallel to the bitter opposition by single
interest to a measure involving the ma
tional honor and welfare that has been
made in this case, or to the success with
which it has rallied other interests and
factions to its support The result appears
in the protracted struggle in the House
and in the mutilated measure it has passed.
Senator Spooner's opposition to the meas
ure-Or that which it is said he will make
will not be factious nor in the interest Of
beet sugar. 1t will be sincere and based
on constitutional grounds Moreover, it
has been invited and almost justified by
the shutting, dilatory and evasive policy
of a minority of the House in dealing with
the subject. If the whole question should
be relegated to the President and Senate
as the treaty making power, where Senator
Spooner contends that it belongs, there can
be no doubt Cuba would fare much better
than she would under the House bill.
