HELPING FARMING ALONG.
An Agricultural Paper Ingenlously Combines Business and Pleasure.

An ingenious method of combining self advertising with the collection of useful data and the awakening of agricultural enthusiasm in the young has been hit upon oy one of the farming journals.
 The paper wished to ascertain the per- centage of germination among various grains. Instead of going to the trouble of securing all varieties and testing them for itself, the farming organ has invited the young members of the families of It's subscribers to plant 100 of ono or more grains under conditions which 1t 1e- scribes ard send in statements of the re- suits.
 hese Will be compared and tabulated and from them 1t s expected to extract the figures required. At the same time the collection acquires a philanthropic and educational flavor which helps the paper along.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.

New York, May e-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Important weather conditions furnish the keynote for the more cheerful tone in distributive trade. Copious rains, while not repairing in Kansas, seems to have put the rest of the crop out anything like Immediate danger. It has also plac- ed the ground in excellent condition for the later crops, such as corn and oats. The situation in manufacturing general ly may be summed up in the one word activity" the only important exception to this being noted in the wooden in dustry which Is interferred with by strikes. The unsettled anthracite coal situation also overhangs the Eastern trade situation. but the bituminous h. dustry reports open activity.
 Iron and steel trades are still pushed 10 the utmost tension to keep up with the current demand. Building and all lines dependent thereon are active despite the increase cost of lumber and of build CTS hardware and the higher level of wages. Prices, particularly of food pro- ducts, showed practically undminished strength. four-flfths of all staples being as high if not higher than a month ago, while only one-flfth are lower, while as compared with a year ago four-fifths of all rrices have advanced. Railroad earn tnss are really surprisingly good.
 The feature in Iron and steel Is the scarcity of supplies of pig iron and the strength of the demand for finished pro- ducts, particularly structural materials. Few rails are available and what tonnage can be secured for bars and plates in scattered lots of standard rails, have brought $31 per ton this week, against the nominal prices of $2S per ton. Struct- ural material sales have been very heavy this week at Pittsburg, the mills report ed to have orders six months ahead Bes- semer pig iron is active and quick deliv- cries will easily bring s2O. while steel billets are selling at s3350 The only branches of the trade which are approxi- mately up with demand are tin plate and sheet industries. Among the other metals tin is Higher on the week, while copper Is rather weaker.
 Little or no decrease in the demand for lumber is noted. though higher prices and higher wages demanded are reported to have interfered with some contemplated work of western points. Builders hard ware Is apparently sympathetically high CT in price, though the formation of the new hardware Jobbers' combination Is credited with some effect. Eastern shoe tra'i' advtcs are tf a heavy r, iiiber of orders cunning in and sh'rnents are cer- tainly larger than for some time past. but arc still below thcae Of a year ago for the week and for the season.

CEREALS OR MEAT. A Prepared Food Helps to Solve the Problem of Good Living. PRICES OF MEAT 60 IJp

While the average housekeeper may be ignorant as to whether a beef trust has been formed or whether the increase in the price of meat is due to other causes. if she is a woman of moderate means she has become convinced that she must turn to something except animal food for the main fare of her family" says the Buff falo Express.
 Tt Is not an entirely new thing this advance In the price of meats, and it is even rumored that prices have not yet reached their limit. but cert ain 1t Is that the cost of living for the average family has increased rapidly of late until meat has become an article of diet that must necessarily be eliminated from the daily fare of the very poor and has become al- most luxury even to those who have a moderate and usually adequate amount to spend upon the family food
 To-day domestic science and public opinion have joined in teaching an im- portant lesson to rich and poor alike. the necessity of consuming body building food, supplying material that will keep nerves, muscles. bones. flesh and brain in the proper condition, feeding into the human engine the fuel needed to make good the constant waste"
 A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich. has produced a food especially intended to supply more nutriment than meat. fish or fowl, and that costs the con- sumer about one cent meal It is called 'Grape-Nuts," and has more nourishment for the body and greater strength and vitality for the brain and nervous sys- tenn, and is an economy that reduces the cost of housekeeping to the minimum and at the same time pleases the palate.
 Grape-Nuts Is a condensed food and about four teaspoonfuls with cream is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. It requires no cooking or preparation of any kind, and is ready for immediate use and suited to the laborer. athlete, brain worker, epicure and invalid
 One pound of Grape-Nuts contains more nourishment-that the system will ab- sorb-than ten pounds of meat. An ex- pertinent was tried by man who found that by leaving off meat altogether At breakfast and lunch, and taking in its place four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape Nuts he began to gain flesh and strength and before the full pound package was gone had gained four pounds in weight whereas he had been losing on his meat diet.
 Present conditions. therefore regarding the price of meat. are solved to the fami- ly provider by supplying Grape Nuts to the individuals of her household-a food that not only recommends itself by its economy and pleasant taste, but by it's Misunderstanding properties and its abiii- ty to build up fiaboy muscles, restore color to the cheek, brightness to the eye and replace the daily loss occasioned by brain and nervous work.
 A package of Grape-Nuts costs IS cents and makes 14 meals. All grocers,

GREAT DEMAND FOR SltEL

New York May 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow Will say;
 At time when consumptive demands surpass all previous records in the na- tion's history. it is unfortunate that pro- duction should be curtailed. Yet tn ! the present situation. Fires and
 controversies and a tornado stopped N = at many points, greatly reducing the out put and many mere wage di5putes must be settled before the end of the month. or furnace fires will be banked and wheels cease to revolve. Losses by the elements have been severe. Prices or commodities on May 1, as shown by Dun's index number. rose to the highest point in recent years, gaining 6.a per cent over the corresponding date last year. but this week there has been material decline in some productions, notably grain.
 Distribution through retail channels continues very heavy, seasonable wealth. CT exerting most helpful influence. Rail- road earnings are steadily gaining. full returns for April exceeding last year by 1os per cent, and 1900 by 25.o per cent.
 Procrastinating consumers who pre- dicted a collapse in the iron and steel market similar to the break that oc- cured two years ago have greatly aug mented the pressure by tardily attempt ing to supply their requirements. It has been obvious for some time that there has been utterly lacking the artificial element tending to inflate prices that was conspicuous in the opening months of 1900 The only limit to prices appears to be the ability of purchasers to pay fancy figures according to the urgency of their needs. Meanwhile there Is no advance on long term contracts. and these cover the large bulk of the business. Productive capacity is being greatly enlarged, but there Is no evidence as yet that the na- tions reeds are not expanding equally fast.
 Footwear shops in New England have received more orders, although the ag- gregate of new business Is not heavy. Western jobbers have not taken all their spring shoes. while there is general tendency to delay placing contracts for fall A few small concessions in prices are reported. Leather is steady, with in- creased trading In belting butts. Domestic hides have again advanced. especially in packers varieties. A disposition to await developments Is still seen in the textile markets, although outside distributing points make more favorable returns as crop prospects improve. Recent depres- sion In silver has seriously affected ex- ports to China. Holders of cotton goods are not urging sales at the expense of values.
