Wells THAT ARE IN FAVOR
Novelties introduced During the win
ter Have by No Means Lost
Their Attraction.


There are some novel wells that
have found favor in the realm of fash
ion, which, though they have been
worn to some extent during the past
winter, are still holding their popu-
larity and will continue to do 80 dur
ing the early summer months.
They are made of Shetland wool,
woven in wide-mesh patterns, ana
they neither crush nor tear easily.
They are also shown in heavy silk
and silkaline and are said to be q
great protection, both to hat and the
complexion in inclement weather.
They are particularly well liked for
automobile use and there is no end
to their durability. Black or white
are the most acceptable Colors, al
though they can be had in variety OF
colors to match the hat and gown.
March and April winds cannot be
overlooked. They are disastrous to
ones appearance, if not properly
COPIED with, and, If one wishes to
reach ones destination in a proper
frame of mind as well as in a neat
condition as to hair and skin, one
must be yelled.

Green Asparagus PAYS Best.

During a discussion on asparagus
at the recent meeting of the New Jer-
sey State Horticultural society, Ar
genteuil was generally considered as
the most profitable variety. 1t was
the consensus of opinion that green
asparagus has been steadily growing
fl popularity during the last few
years, while asparagus is becoming
increasingly difficult to sell at as
good prices This is especially true
of New York and Philadelphia mar
kets, but several growers say that the
whole matter depends largely on the
individual market.

as he can harrow before quitting tins
at night.
Manufacturers have devised an at.
tachment to the pillow which enables
one to plow and harrow as he goes.
The harrow is a rotary attachment
and can be hitched on to any sulky or
gang plow The manufacturers claim
that it takes no extra power to oper.
ate it, and it does the work Of an ex-
ira team and man, thus saving operat-
ing expenses.
We are inclined to doubt somewhat,
the statement that it requires no ex-
ira power, because it seems to us that
the rotary harrow wide enough to COW
er two broad burrows dragged behind
the plows would make quite differ
ence in the work of the team.
However, as many of these attach.
ments are now being used, particularly
in the west, it is quite evident that
they are regarded with favor by pro-
gressive farmers.

COMBINING BEES AND FRUIT
Honey Gatherers Add Materially to
Fertility of Berries and Fruits
by Pollen Distribution.
(Rv d w OTIs1

The ideal fruit-farm, with it's or

plums, its shade-trees and it's gardens,
is hardly complete without at least a
few STANDS of bees. Properly man.
aged they will not only add to the
profits of their owner, but supply his
table with an abundance of the most
luxurious of all delicacies; and add
materially to the fertility of his ber-

sess.
This important feature, however. is
generally omitted, or carried on In
such a way as to result in very little
profit and a great deal of trouble;
and usually results in failure in the
end; and this in face OF the fact that
it might easily be made one of the
most profitable and fascinating of the
fruit-grower's occupations.

The past week has witnessed a
marked change for the better In the
copper metal market, heavy sales hay
ing been made az 1875 cents, with high
or prices predicted before the close of
1911. The aggregate November sales
are probably the largest for amy month
during the past two years, despite
which there stu continues a good de-
mand for January and February de-
livery.
The monthly exports of copper ag-
grcgatc about 65.0O0,O0O pounds COM
pared with GO,OO0,OOO pounds last year
In addition. Europe is taking consid-
erable copper direct from Australia,
which last year figured i'm this coun
try's refinery output. The foreign con-
sumption of the red metal is unques-
touably of a scale larger than ever
heretofore. Not only is this confirmed
10y the bi-monthly statistics from
London, but also from Rotterdam and
Hamburg. The total stocks of copper
i'm the two latter cities as of January
LIST was estimated at 22.6OO tons, which
compares with l71OO tons reported last
month. 1t is apparent from this That
the worlds surplus stocks OF the metal,
including Rotterdam and Holland, to-
day stand az less than 3O0,OOO,OOO

Domestic trade conditions show inn

The fact does not admit Of doubt
that the continuous low price of cop

MARKETS

Boston-The markets today opened
up quite materially but for the rest of
the session were little disappointing
inasmuqh as i'm most cases best prices
were the initial ones. Copper prices
were strong but influenced partly by a
stiffening Of money rates and partly
by fact that the presidents message
was given TO the printer today calling
attention TO early converting of Con-
gress, considerable profit taking was
apparent all day and buying orders
We're not as plentiful as they might
have been. The stiffening of money
rates means increased general business.
Nothing like tight money is possible
and better rates are bullish really, be
cause it means better business. The
trend of the market is upward and
stocks should be bought whenever
weak. j. Sturgis.

The total coal production of the
world I'm 1910 was approximately
/ 800. OOO. 600 short tons. OF which the
United states contributed about 80
per cent. This country has far out
stripped all others, and in 1910, accord
ing 10 the United states Geological
Survey, il exceeded Great Britain,
which ranks second, by over 100000
900 tons Great Britain's production in
1910 was les than GO per cent of that
of the United States. and Germany
was less than half The increase in
both of these countries in 1910 over
1909 was comparatively small, whereas
the increase in the United states was
nearly equal to the entire production
of France and was more than the
total production of any foreign coun-
try except Great Britain, Germany
Austria Hungary and France.
The United States has held first
place among the coal producing coun-
tries of the world since 1899, when it
surpassed Great Britain. In the IL
years since 1899 the annual output of
the United states has nearly doubled,
from 253,741.192 short tons to 50l.-
