NEEDED AS~JUDGES.

Miss Martha Van Rensselaer,, SUI
pervisor of the reading course for
farmers wives conducted by the Ag-
ricultural College of Cornell Univer-
sity, believes that there should be
a woman Judge in Juvenile courts
where girls are tried. She bases her
opinion on personal observation of
various juvenile courts, notably those
in New York City. She believes that
there are many questions which girls
would answer truthfnlly If there was
woman on the bench, but which
they now invariably lie about when
questioned by a man. This is one
of the very few instances in which
Miss Van Rensselaer, believes segre-
cation of the two sexes would be
beneficial.-New York Sun.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Growth of Confidence Evidenced by
Increased Preparation of =
Fall Business.

New York-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
"Weekly Review of Trade" says:
Encouraging reports of CONNER
cial conditions outnumbering adverse
statements, and in almost every in
stance earlier gains are fully main
tanned, while the growth of confidence
is evidenced by increased preparations
for fall trade and revival of struc-
ural work.
Retail trade is reasonably quiet,
but wholesale and jobbing markets
are responding to the usual attend
ance of outside buyers, while the big
cotton goods auction sale had no de-
moralizing effect on prices. Scarcity
of hides holds prices at very high
position, and leather is also relative
ly much stronger than other materials
of manufacture, which retards busi-
ness in footwear. Mercantile collec-
tions are irregular, but money is
abundant and cheap, and prices of se-
curities establish new high records
for the year almost daily.
"More interest Is shown in the iron
and steel markets than at any earlier
date this year, although the railways
are not buying freely Prices are
unchanged, but some furnace and
foundry interests will take no more
orders without an advance. Domes-
tic roads have begun to buy rails, but
most new contracts in this department.
are for export
Results of the first big auction sale
of dress goods were most satisfactory,
relatively high prices being realized.
AS to the woolens, most interest is
shown in the higher grades of mems
wear. Confidence is shown by some
mills that are purchasing raw wool
freely, helping to prevent accumula-
tion of stocks in Eastern markets, as
the new clip comes forward.
Footwear manufacturers in New
England report that jobbers continue
to purchase conservativeIy, placing
only enough contracts to cover imme-
date needs"

THE STRAWBERRY BED.

For a hundred times probably in
our life we have written on this sub
ject and urged the necessity of care
full tillage and culture in the straw
berry bed from the time it is set out
until the runners are well set and
matted in July, and yet a cor
respondent writes as follows: "We
purchased few hundred plants last
spring and planted them out. They
grew, but the weeds have grown so in
the patch and the runners have COM
menced running so we cannot plow
the weeds out without injuring the
plants. What would you suggest to
do Tor bed in this condition."
| If 1t was ours we would plow 1t un-
der and try and learn a lesson from
the past. There is no excuse for a
man to plant out rtrawberry bed II
he don't intend to take care OF 1t. 1t
Just shows the folly Of man spend
Ing his money for something that he
don't intend to give proper care. AS
the strawberry is so easy of culture
and requires so little care, yet it must
be at the time that the plants are es-
tablished and new plants setting on.

Buckwheat is an excellent crop to
plow under for green manure, also to
clean land of weeds. When sown for

ADvIsABILITY OF KEEPING BEES

It is safe to say that every farmer
would support, at least, few hives
of bees. Nearly all parts of our coun-
try produce honey in quantities suf-
ficient to pay for the gathering. The
amount of honey that goes to waste
every year for want of bees to gather
it is very large; in fact, too large to
estimate. Every farm has on it fruit
trees, berry patches, clover or buck
wheat fields, all of which, in the alb
sence of bees, is evaporated by the
sun and practically wasted. The for
ests also contain many linden and
white wood trees which are good
honey yielders. Then there are the
autumn wild flowers, such as boneset,
goldenrod, heartsease and wild asters,
which bloom for succession of two
months, from which the bees do not
only store a quantity of surplus
honey, but also fill the brood nest OF
the hives fer winter stores. In my
locality beekeepers get the most and
finest honey from autumn wild flow
ers which grow at random every
where.
Every one growing fruit or any
plant that is intended to yield seed
should be interested in beekeeping.
and either try to induce some person
TO keep bees near him. or keep few
colonies himself ANN arlcal Cuitiya-

Where Did They Get 1t?

Both the old parties raise immense sums Of
money to use in presidential campaigns Where
does it come from?
From corporations and individuals who want
special favors. Some politicians give large
sums, expecting appointments to Office.
Thus John Wanamaker gave 100000 to
the Harrison campaign fund and drew the
prize of the Postmaster-G eneralshlp
In like manner, a Newport Society man,
named Van Allen, gave $4,000 to the Cleve-

to be appointed minister to Italy.

expect to be repaid by Legislative favors. Laws
will be changed to suit them, and thus the ma

In that case, GET BUSY! Don't lose an hour
Hurry to the nearest printing Office, and have

not raise the money to pay the bill, go right
ahead and have them printed anyhow. Send
the bill to me. If necessary, put trusty men
on horses, and rush the tickets to the various

In 1904 there were no tickets to be had in
some of Our strongest counties. Let us see to

Mississippi, Arkansas are heavily sprinlled
with Popu1ists-to say nothing of Nebraska,

Nevertheless, believe that if my friends I'M

ture, the postage and clerical work for neces-
sary correspondence.
For the hire of opera houses, travelling ex-

Same Old CEebeIand Gang.

The Teffersonian, in it's feeble way, has been
doing what it could to- prove that Bryan has
made disgraceful, mercenary capitulation to
the p1utocratic element Of his party and has
thereby secured the support of the corporations
which debauched Cleve1ands second admins
tration.
We now introduce witness whose evidence
may convince thousands who could not be con-
WINGED by the Jeffersonian.
Seeing that Bryan has chance to be elected,
his Excellency, Hoke Smith, has left his post
of duty as Governor of Georgia, and rushed
across the continent to get on the Bryan band
wagon. He no sooner reached Chicago>than
he burst into speech.
Here is what he said:
Gail the advices [ get from friends over the
whole country" said Gov Smith, indicate
positively to me that the old Cleveland forces
to man are behind Mr.. Bryan this time, and
that we are going to win. The Democratic
party is more united than it has been at any
time since 1892.
"Now, as it was then, the tariff is vital is
sue, and the voters of the country SO regard
it. Every member Of Mr.. C1evelands Cabinet
now living is earnest and sincere in his support
of Mr. Bryan, and that fact is in itself full of
significance"
Does that leave any doubt Of Bryan's shame
full desertion of the people?
EVERY member of C1eveland's Cabinet now
living" is an ardent Bryanite, which proves
the immensely of Bryan's moral decadence.

General, and he is strong for Bryan-Olney
