String beans are not q very common
crop for forcing under glass, but fairly
successful results were obtained with
them at the Wisconsin Station. Start
ing them in pots was found to be a
waste of time, since better results
were obtained when beans were plant
ed in hills about one foot apart each
way. Later they We're thinned to stand
eighteen inches apart. The yield of
beans was Increased about three times
by the use of complete commercial
fertilizers. Neplusutra and Golden
Eyed Wax were the most productive.
1t was found that fumigation with to-
bacco injured the plants, but the white
fly was readily controlled with hydro
cyanic gas, using ten ounces of po-
tassium cyanide for six million cubic
feet of epace. The best temperature
was concluded to be about fifty to sixty
degrees at night and seventy degrees
in daytlme.-American Cultivator.

Sheen Good Properiy.

A Wisconsin man interested in tine
sheep and wool business says that the
reduction in sheep in this country in
the past few years make the sheep in
dustry good safe business. He esti-
mates that it will require from five to
seven years to breed up and regain this
loss. The present high price of sheep
will induce every sheep owner to sell
off just as closely as possible. and that
is bound TO keep the number down. He
says that many years ago there was
used more wool to the person in the
United States than there is to-day.
since cotton has come into such general
use, but a quarter of a century ago
there was very little demand for NUT
ton. To-day the demand is great. and
1t is on the increase right along. This.
with the shortage in the number Of
sheep and the high price of wool. is
bound TO make sheep raising and feed
ing profitable for several years to come.

II Paws To Aduertise.

When James Gordon Bennett the
elder was editor of the Herald, Rob.
ert Bonner, publisher of the New York
Ledger, was struggling to build up its
circulation, and decided to try a little
advertising. He wrote an announce.
ment consisting of eight words: Read
Mrs. Southworth's New Story in the
Ledger" and sent ii to the Herald
marked for "one line" Mr.. Bonner's
handwriting was so bad that the
words were read in the Herald office
as "one page" Accordingly the line
was set up and repeated so as to oc.
cupy one entire page Mr.. Bonner
was thunderstruck the next morning.
He had not to his name money enough
in the bank to pay the bill. He rushed
excitedly over to the Herald Office,
but was too late to do any good.
In a short time the results OF the
page announcement began to be felt
Orders for the Ledger poured in until
the entire edition was exhausted and
another one was printed. The sue
cess of the Ledger was then estab.
lished. Ever after that time Mr.. Bon.
ner was an ardent believer in adver.
tising and liberal purchaser of space

The Grand Union, the largest sum-

among green trees with its long wings
enclosing a court with fountains and

with guests. With the progressive

ed TO its attractivencss by introduc-
ing acetylenc gas TO make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The genial
proprietors believe IN furnishing their
guests with the best of everything,
and now, after investigating and find
ing that Artificial Sunlight can be had,
they have installed n complete acety-
lenc gas plant to produce il, and have
connected upwards Of six thousand
Acotylcnc burners in and about the
plant.
Like many discoveries of recent
years, which are coming into popular

adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap-
paratus can be understood and oper-

.ottonseed meal is used quite exten-
svely in some sections of the country
as fertilizer. A good grade meal will
carry about 6.S per cent nitrogen, 20
per cent. phosphoric acid and is per
cent. potash. Based upon the valua-
tions that will be used by New England
experiment stations in 1905 for com
putting the value of commercial fertiliz-
ers, meal analyzing as above will be
worth about 500 ton as a fertilizer.
Notwithstanding its high value when
used directly in this way it will usually
be found more economical to use ii as
a food for stock aud to apply, the re-
sulting manure to the land. When
used thus, from eighty to ninety five
per cent. of the nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid and practically all the
potash will be contained in the manure

the Improvement manifested last week,
for which warmer weather is RESPONSE
bic. Sales of summer goods are more
active and business for fall delivery ap
pears well from all sections save Texas,
where impaired wheat-crop returns have
a deterrent effect. Confidence in the
future still continues. Export trade is
good, railway earnings are large, build
ing is active and steel mills engaged on
the heavier forms OF finished material
will not close down this summer The
labor situation, though disturbed here
and there, is, on the whole, a pleasant
one. Crop prospects in general continue
favorable, although corn conditions are
spotted and the plant is very much be-
hind. Prices of all products still seem
to favor the agricultural interests. On
the other hand, new business in industrial
lines is less active. Pig iron prices are
recedng, stocks tend to increase and il
is buyers and consumers market ratil-
er than one favoring the seller. Flour
mills are inactive, awaiting receipts of
new-crop wheat. For many scattered
wholesale lines it is a period OF quiet
and unsettlement in some prices, as bus
mess is now of midsummer character.
Firmness in cotton goods is a feature
calling for note. Buyers are insistent for
quick deliveries. Recorder business with
iobbers has been fairly good, especially
at the West. In wooden goods trade is
seasonable, and clothing men report
good business. Southern trade centefs
report trade rather quiet, as is usual

funeral in their town had said that no
animal except man was capable of

Sympathy, | think, is beyond the low
er animals. When we sympathize
with a person we put ourselves in his
or her place; we feel sorry for him;
we pity him; we would gladly allevi-
ate his suffering-all of which implies
more or less imagination and disin-
terested regard. Susceptibility to the
sufferings of others is one of many
higher attributes. When sympathy
was born the race lifted above the
purely animal plane.
The next step is taking the suffer
ings Of others upon yourself, which is
the highest form of altruism. Pure
selfishness rules the lower animals.
