Are You :. B. L.?

Did you ever notice how the tall

suit of clothes, mix in few letters

TO ask, but was put aside in some
casual way, which plainly showed me
that the tailor did not wish me 10

mind a fact stated by the late Cen
eral w. H. Harrison in an address
before the Hamilton County Agricul-
tural Society of Ohio in 1881. In
the address mentioned General Har.
rison said: THE wood of the Ca
talpa affords perhaps a more lasting
material than either that of the To-
Gust or mulberry; is of a very quick
growth and easily cultivated. Its
ability to resist decay has been suf-
ficienly tested in the neighborhool
of Vincennes, both under ground and
in contact with 1t. Over the little
stream of the Desha, five miles from
Vincennes, one of these trees had
fallen before any immigration had
taken place from any of the States, to
that place. 1t was certainly there in
the year 1855, when a colony of Vir-
ginians, from the south branch of
the Potomac, emigrated to that place,
and for many years served as foot
bridge over the stream. l was in.

Experience With Sheen.

Much depends on the quality of the
sheep ard the care and management
OF them o give the best result. With
nock q forty-nine ewes and a ram
one ought to raise at least sixty
lambs. Until the pasture gets a good
start in spring the breeding ewes
should be fed on clover or alfalfa hay
and a mi;ed ration of grain, such as
ground corn, oats and bran. A feed
OF oats occasionally will be relished
by them. The lambs will begin eat
ing the grain when but few days old
and II furnished with a feed lot to
themselves until selling time will
make better lambs than can be pro-
uuced othdrwise. These sixty lambs
we will sol any time between the
latter part Rof July and the first of
September at six dollars per head, or
1850 The tffty sheep sheared 400
pounds of wool and at the present
price of twenty cents will amount
70 S92, making total of S452 for the
lambs and wool. Then the cost OF
grain and pasture for the fifty head
oil old sheep for one year would not
exceed 500 and for the sixty lambs
until sold, IL fed grain, about $50,
which will leave a net profit of $500,
which think would be a safe esti-
mate to make. But, of course, we
nave got to give them the best OF
care and attention II we expect to
get the best results.-E. X, in the

TABLET TO GOVERNORS.
Memorial Proposed For Famous
Meeting At Altoona In 1862.

Altoona.-A movement has been
started by veterans of the War of the
Rebellion to erect a memorial tablet
to commemorate the famous meeting
of War Governors here September 20
and 26, 1862. The Governors were
called by Governor Curtain, and
they met at the Logan House, still
standing, and it is proposed to place
the tablet in the Logan House Park.
Committees are being appointed
by the Grand Army posts, Legion
encampments and Sons of Veterans
to arrange the details, and Congress
man John M. Reynolds will probably
be invited to solicit Federal aid in
the project, since the meeting was
so largely instrumental in maintain
ing the Union. The Governors pledg-
ed President Lincoln their moral
support, as we'll as their troops, and
so well did they uphold his hands
that much of the disaffection in the
North disappeared.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says
with the disturbing tariff question
soon to be out of the way and with
crops that give promise of satisfac-
tory dimensions and of an aggregate
value of hundreds of millions OF dol
lars in excess of the best previous
record business confidence is devel-
oping rapidly, although it is notice.
able that enterprise is not yet out
running conservatism in buying FOR
the distant future.
Prices continue to advance in
several branches of the iron and
steel trade and higher quotations are
expected on some products that have
ruled on a very low basis. 1t is
believed that the leading interest
will shortly follow the action of in
dependent producers in asking better
terms for steel bars, plates and
shapes, which have been in active
demand since the general recovery
set in"
Bradstreet's says:
Improvements in the crops,
rather better advices as to ultimate
outcome of the leading cereals, cas-
ing in prices of breadstuffs consequent
thereon or because of a larger wheat
crop movement, good distri-
button at retail under the stim-
ulus of clearance sales and
slight enlargement of fall trade with
jobbers and wholesalers are the
leading features this week Connect
ed Herewith in some degree are
the advices from leading industries
of enlargement of output, of a con-
tinuance of the upward tendency in
values of Manufactured goods, larg-
er demand for money for crop-mov-
ing purposes and a perceptible in
crease in the friction visible between
employers and employees in a num-
/ ber of lines. This latter is a nat
ural phenomenon of the industrial
situation, possibly made more no.
ticeable this year by reason of the
high level of prices of commodities
and the consequent cost Of living.
Business failures in the United
States for the week were 239, against
zoo last week, 263 in the like week
of 1908, 155 in 1907, III in 1906
