In the case of the pasture, the an

acre for grubbing and weed cutting,
while with the cultivated area the
expense runs several dollars per acre.
But there are other advantages of
the pasture. Having pasture, we nat

Learn the ways of bees, how TO han
die them. and what kind of equip
ment is best. Then begin on a small.
scale, make the bees pay for them
selves and for all additional appara-
tus, as well as some profit. and let
the business grow gradually.
Above all II should be emphasized
that the only way TO make bee keep
ing a profitable business Is to pro-
duce only a first-class article. We
can not control what the bees bring
TO the hive to any great extent, but
by proper manipulation we can get
them to produce fancy comb honey.
or If extracted honey is produced IL
can be carefully cared for and neatly
packed to appeal TO the fancy trade.
Too many bee keepers. in fact the
majority, pay too little attention TO
making their goods attractive. They
should recognize the fact that of
two jars OF honey. one in an ordinary
fruit jar or tin can with porly
printed label. and the other in a neat
glass jar OF artistic design with n
pleasing label. the latter will bring
double or more the extra cost OF the
better package. It is perhaps unfor-
tunate but nevertheless a fact that
honey sells largely on appearance.
and progressive bee keeper will
appeal as strongly as possible TO the
eye OF his customer.
Much information along these and
other lines in bee keeping can be
found in a new publication OF the
Department OF Agriculture. Farmers
Bulletin 397. entitled Bees The
aim OF this work is TO give briefly the
information needed by persons en-
gagged in the keeping OF bees, and 10
answer inquiries that are frequently
received from correspondents. of the
Department. IL discusses the loca-
ton, equipment, and stocking OF the
apiary, the habits of bees and their
manipulation, the production OF
honey and wax. wintering, and dis
eases and injuries. 1t also gives such
general information as how to obtain
and introduce queens, laws affecting
bee keeping, and journals and books
on the subject. This publication can

Special Correspondence of The Star
NEW YORK, March 5.-The buying Of
stocks has been going on steadily and
on reasonably heavy scale, Gin spite of
the apparent opposition of many of the
leading operators in. the street and the
skeptical position of representatives Of a
number of the leading banking institu-
tions. Signs of revived activity on the
part of several of the pools and cliques
are also in evidence. The copper stocks,
for instance, and especially shelters,
have been active and are coming into
popular favor symptoms multiply that
the men behind the guns have organized
for another bull campaign. The ''Gug-
senheims'' are beng industriously touted,
the effect being that in most of the COM
mission and brokerage houses the chair
warmers and tape crimpers are mouth
ing rumors and opinions as to the future
of this group of stocks
Back of all this activity in the copper
and allied stocks looms the theory that
by the middle of next summer the great
copper merger will have been formed.
largely through the active agency OF j.
P. Morgan & Co. This idea will not
down, in spite of the many discouraging
which have been coming
to the front for the last two or three
months. 1t Is noticed that mergers and
combinations are being put through in
several divisions of the copper mining
industry and the belief gains ground
that at some psychological moment there
will be great big blending of the sew
eral branches and subdivisions into one
enormous holding corporation. capitalized

The reasons for the special advance in
the stock in the last few days have been
hitherto fully noted in this column but
il may be again repeated that they COM
prise in general a gradual public recog-
milton of the fact that the business of the
steel corporation is still running sub
stantially full and that earnings of the
corporation for the present quarter will,
in all probability. be much larger than
six weeks ago it was commonly thought
they would be.
Particular mention must again be made
of the bright prospects for the iron and
steel trade day by day unfolding as re-
CARDS orders for new equipment from the
railroad companies Compilations made
during the present week from known de-
veiopments are to the effect that the
Hartman and Hill lines. the Rock Island
the Baltimore and Ohio, the New York
Central and other roads are already in
the market or IL is known soon will be,
for over $50,0o0.000 worth of new rolling
stock and other equipment involving the
use of iron and steel materials. and it is
understood that probably larger volume
of orders still will shortly be uncovered
on the part of the many of the other
large systems, such as Pennsylvania
Atchson, New Haven and St Paul COM
panes.

NEW YORK. March 5.-The stub
born strength displayed by the stock
market today. In the face Of ostensibly
disquieting developments regarding the
labor situation, was no doubt surpris
ing TO many people. But the attitude
of the stock market in this regard was
plainly enough disclosed yesterday, and,
indeed. early In the present week.
An optimistic prophecy may be made
as regards the movement to obtain
higher wages upon the part of the rail-
road employees of the eastern part of
the country that is now becoming more
or less acute. There is very little doubt
that the railroad managers in the case
Of each company will. If they cannot
themselves come to an agreement with
their men, offer TO refer the matter of
arbitra ton to the interstate commerce
commission, and there seems to be little
doubt that the mediation of the COM
mission will in turn he accepted by the
employees. The upshot of this may be,
very likely general increase in rail-
way wage scales, but some such event
as this has long been expected In all
well informed financial circles.

market before the beginning of business
on our own exchange.
In the first hour of business the tend
ency of prices here was, perhaps. to sag
slightly, but the pressure in this line
was SO extremely moderate and the de-
sire to buy stock at quotations a little
below the ruling level was so definitely
strong that after a time offerings of
stocks ceased entirely and the market
became very stagnant. Then again,
slowly but with sustained force, the mar
ket moved upward and closed at practi
caIiy the highest level of the day, leaving
net gains and losses still irregularly dis
tributed. but with gains usually showing
in the active and standard issues.
Among the inactive stocks a rise of Ale
points in the ST Louis and San Francisco
second preferred shares attracted not a
little attention. But the real feature of
the market was the distinctly advancing

Public Expected to Bite.

Inasmuch cas- the big merger will be
composed mainly of high cost producers.
sweetened with just enough of the low
cost mines to give it the appearance of
covering the whole situation, the public
will be expected to come in and buy the
securities wholesale and retail-in guam
titles to suit. After the public has taken
on the load then such independents as
control the great low-cost copper fields
of Arizona and Alaska can come to the
front and flood the market with cheap
metal to the ruin of the great consolida-
ton of cats and dogs. The scheme is very
clearly outlined, and as many of the most
important interests in Wall Street are
identified with it, the chances are 1t will
be carried out to a successful conclusion
that il, successful so far as the schemers
and organizers are concerned, but colos-
sally ruinous to the general public. By
that method an extravagantly high mar
ket will be found for a lot of copper
mines which are producing the metal at
a cost Of 10 cents a pound and upward,
which in the natural order of things
would have to close down within two or
three years because of utter inability to
compete with the six to eight cent copper
of Arizona. Nevada. Utah and Alaska.
The next great scandal of Wall Street is
likely to follow the fiotation of the Sc
curities of the impending big copper
merger.
