Why the Thrifty German F.r.~r 4.
Geaeraify More Prospers.s
rhaa His Fellow

That German farmers in this eoun-
Try generally are more PROSPEROUS
than American farmers Is a well
known fact But why is this? In an
swering this question our peouie
jump TO the nearest eoneluSion-,har
they can live on less than natives.
That this is erroneous every one
knows who has associated with these
foreigners at their homes As a
rule with very few exceptions their
tables are abundantly supplied with
good. wholesome food, well cooked
and heartily eaten This Is also con-
hrmed by their health. strength and
energy They are industrious. but
who ever heard of Germans DENYING
themselves rational recreation or so
cial pleasures IL would be wen for
American farmers TO initiate their
German neighbors in more WAYS than
one One reason why German farm
ers prosper IS that they are practical
and rational economists They know
they can get more for their money
by paving cash for what thew buy

CTS went into the field early and strong demand sent prices up several cents a pound. This year they are ranging from 12 to IA cents, with eX- ceptional extra fine at 15 cents. The mutton market was better than year ago feed stock selling as high as S755 hundredweight, These prices were superinduced by light supplies in feed lots, because of tn high price of corn. The shipments this fall of grass-fat stock of the ranges promise to be very heavy as the grass pretty well over the entire West is good, excepting In the territories, where the moisture has not been sufficient to sustain the great focks and which will be greatly aug mented by lamb crop, which it is es- timated will average 80 per cent.
 Hogs have been a prolific source of revenue to the grower. Although the receipts as compared to a year ago at the markets were heavier prices per- sistently remained strong and higher Marketing was free, because of the high price of feed also, but the demand ex- isted and the prices prevailed. The fu- ture of the hog industry is every bit as good as that of cattle. "-Denver Dis patch to the New York Journal of Com- merce.

FIREPLACE FLNERIES.
THEY MAKE 4 SUMMER ROOM
 AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY
And Preserve Delightful Atmos-
 pheTes

Of number of excellent plans for screening or decorating fireplace, none is more sensible or ornamental
 than that of turning it into a sort of fernery. Ferns, ivy, swamp lilies, per Wrinkles and two or three varieties of Oriental Iris love to root in cool, dark, moist places, and properly drained and
 planted, a garden fireplace can be made
 just as attractive as one in window.
 One woman whose cottage drawing room is provided with very old-fash- toned brick fireplace, in which the an- which the narrow mantel shelf is set very high, resorted to very simple measures for beautifying it during the summer. She bought three copper pots such as the orsts hang in their win dows full of flowers. These she had filled with earth and planted with green things that love the shade, and string ing them along the crane she effective ly screened the smoke blackened cav eli Wiele the llditES Hdu ledpeu all Winer.
 Many of her friends have since had polished steel cranes fixed in their mod ern fireplaees, and on these they have hung brass kettles and bowls, and one went so far as to have her hric-a-brac dealer hunt up for her a true old-fash- toned three-legged iron crane pot.
 Another resourceful housekeeper, who has had large experience with house plants, found last winter that English ivy would grow gracefully if allowed to keep it's green toes moist. With the coming of spring she dared not plant her ivy outdoors, knowing it could not withstand the whitening heat of our climate. Accordingly she bought two boxes, made of small green tiles, filled them with rich earth and larger DOT tion of sand, and, taking two well grown ivy sprays from the water, she planted them on either side of her plain hearth. Two more sprays she put in boxes and set them on either end of the black mantel shelf.
 The ivy has already grown up and down and promises to throw rich green veil over the whole fireplace, frame the mirror above 1t and do away with the need of bric- a-brac at that point.-Denver Republican.

THE STOCK MARK EFT.
Slips Back Into a Rather ApathetIc Con

Slips Back Into "a Rather ApathetIc Con
 dition.
 New York, June 20-The speculative liquidation which broke prices yester-
 day was not in evidence to-day, but the
 market slipped back into rather apa- | thetic condition. the dealings dropping 1 well blow half million shares again. Of this total a large proportion was l concentrated in a few leading stocks,
 notably United States Steel, Missouri | Pacific, St. Paul and the Wahashes The l evidence of support for United States 1 Steel was an effective influence in l steadyng the market, unsettled by yes- | terday's sharp break in that stock. l There was evidence of rebuyng of stocks by the large interests which iiquidated yesterday and the day be- l fore
 To-day's strength was restricted to a | few points and was not very well man- tained, the closing being dull and heavy. The Southwesterns and St. Paul absorb cd a large share of the strength. st. Louis Southwestern pf. rose nearly 3 points and in connection with & slightly greater rise in Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois gave rise to a report that tue lat ter road was to be purchased by the former. The movement in the western roads was not accounted for by the crop news which was rather unfavorahle as to grain too much rain being indicated The coalers were rather neglected and moved in q narrow and irregular way. Reports by the banks of gain on the interior currency movement up to Thursday night of over s3,000 900 gave rise to the hope of favorable bank statement tomorrow,
 Bankers expressed the opinion this evening that the statement would show 9 considerable expansion in loans, but the continued ease of call money does not indicate that the surplus has been materially impaired. More attention was given to the sterling market, which advanced an additional fraction. Con- tinental exchange was also strong, while sterling at Paris fell another frac- tion. The Bank of England gained nearly $3 ,000.00 in gold yesterday, which is a reassurng development for the whole financial world in view of the heavy semi-annual requirements upon lUdl lllSLliutlIll' iltdNS ptllSloH pdy- ments during the week are the cause of the light demands of the New York sub treasury upon the money market.
 The rains in the west which are de- laying the harvesting of grain promise 1 also to postpone the demand on New York for money to move the crops.
 There was an active demand for some of the southwestern railroad bonds | The market generally was irregular. l Total sales par value $3, 935, 900.
 United States 2s coupon declined 3s | per cent. on the last call.
