Less Activity in the New York Market, but the Demand Continues to Increase. New York, Feb. 21.—Money, I®l£ per cent; offered at the close at 1$ per cent Prime mercantile paper, 4®5 per cent. Sterling exchange quiet; 60 days, SLB3S; sight, $4.80*. Governments quiet State securities strong. The stock market was less active to-day, but the business was well distributed, and dealers report a good demand for all classes of securities, including some which have been neglected f or many months past, especially the low-priced etocks. The liquidation which was a feature of late trading yesterday afternoon continued this morning, and still lower prices were recorded for almost every thing on the list, the decline ranging from i to | per cent During the forenoon the market was dull and irregular, but after the first ialf hour some of the weakest stocks ft>n the list including St Paul & Missouri Pacific, accompanied by Lackawanna, which gave promise of again being a leading feature for the <!&y, began to move upward, and by noon an ad v&nce of 1 per cent for the stocks mentioned *nd for Delaware & Hudson had been established. In the same time, New Jersey Central gained 1* per cent and the rest of the list showed fractional advances. Persistent strength, with moderate transactions, was the feature of the afternoon business. The gains over midday prices were not large, and the movement upwaid was somewhat erratic, and not steady. The'e was an advance of the whole column, and ■st the close of the board prices were about the best of tho day, and from 1i to 32 per cent, higher than at the same time yesterday. The oal stocks were conspicuous for strength, Delaware & Hudson advancing, on small transactions, from 75i, its lowest price, to 79, and closing 2J higher than yesterday, at 78f. Only 300 shares of Lackawanna sold below par after 11 o’clock, and from that time until the close of the board the price fluctuated between 100 and 1002, and closed at 100£. It was claimed that Jersey Central’s condition would be improved by cancellation of the lease to Reading, and that such change was likely to be effected soon, on which the stock further advanced in the afternoon until It sold at 39J, at which it closed —a gain of 12. It was positively denied, during the day, that Vanderbilt had anything to do with tho recent advance in Now York Central and Lake Shore. Both New York Central aud Lake Shore took a less prominent position in to day’s stock market. At the close, Lake Shore is at the highest price of the day, 66j}, a gain of p, and Central is up I, at 94J, after celling at 942. Northwestern gained 12 per cent, at 94, and St. Paul, the most active stock on the list, as measured by the number of shares traded In, is | per cent, higher, at 72§, after selling between 71*9722Business in railroad bonds was well distributed, but tho trading was for comparatively small amounts in each case. Quotations for this class of securities continue to advance, very largo gains being made to-day for several issues. Transactions. 237,000 shares, to-wit: 40,000 X*ackawanna, 32,000 Lake Shore, 20,000 Northwestern, 11,000 New Jersey Central, 61,000 New York Central, 41,000 St. Paul, 13,000 Western Ucion.

TRADE AND COMMERCE, Another Off Week—Business Drags—Unfavorable Weather Responsible. Indianapolis, Feb. 21. The week closing to day will be remembered M the off week in trade of the earlier part of 1885. Probably the volume of business done falls below that of any week in many years. Snow blockades and severe cold weather practically brought most of the railroads to a stand still, so far as moving freights is concerned, and this means a stagnation of business generally. The belief prevails, however, that with milder weather, which must soon follow the extreme cold for Indiana, there will be a general revival of busi ness, as the markets need the grain, the produce, the live stock, and have the money to pay for it, and this means a freer distribution than has been experienced in many months. The firmness in prices of leading staples, in spite of the light movement, is a favorablo omen. Coffees, sugars, canned goods and many other articles in the grocery line show no weakening in prices. Leather dealers, hardware men, all talk of prices as firm and tending higher. In the produce market, whenever there is a mild day trade is active. Poultry, butter, apples, potatoes, onions, etc., are all firm at quotations. Eggs are weaker, as they should be. Prices quoted for two weeks past have been only nominal Hog products moving with more freedom. Prices firmer than ten days ago. • CRAIN. It was rather an off day in the local market; Utfcpndance on Change slim; bidding lacked *‘snap." So far as prices are concerned there was practically no change. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: “Prices steady, with fair inquiry for cash delivery, but only small lots offered. Receipts light; futures dull.

Wisconsin Apiarist. Some time during the month of September I examine all colonies, and if I find any that are weak I unite two or more, and should I find any colonies that are strong numerically, but having ft small supply of honey, 1 feed them with sugar diluted with water—doing this, however, in the evening. A colony of bees should have at least fifteen or twenty pounds of honey to carry them through the winter. I leave my bees outside until snow falls which I think will remain during the winter. 1 then place them in a cellar, the conditions of which should be as follows: It should be warm enough not to allow of freezing. It should be dry; dark; have good ventilation, so as to allow a circulation of air during warm weather; should be kept quiet; should be kept free from rats and mice. The hive should be raised one-fourth of an inch from the bottom board, to allow a free circulation of air between the combs. Towards spring, jot any time during the winter if there is no snow on the ground, they should be taken out of the cellar during a warm flay, to a sheltered spot and allowed to fly out and air themselves if they choose to. Tho bottom board should be well cleaned before the hives are returned to the cellar. They should be loft there until April 15, or later. By taking them out be fore that time too many are lost during tho

rough spring weather. They should be carefully watched in spring, and if found to be short of honey, be fed. A great many colonies are lost for lack of attention being paid to their wants during the spring time. Invalids’ Knitted Shoes. Home and Farm. Select two such shades of single worsted as you may think are pretty together, and likely to be nice for the purpose wanted. Os the darkest shade set up ninety-six stitches, on the largest size steel knitting needles, for a number one boot; four additional stitches for each larger size. Knit once round plain, then knit two and seam two, taking the back of the knitted stitch. Do this for two rounds; the third time round reverse, knitting the seamed stitches and vice versa. On the ninth round knit two stitches together as nearly in the middle as you can, and use this afterwards as the center of the front. After this, each time round narrow on one side and slip and bind on the other (narrow first, slip and bind after) side of this middle: stitch until the original number of stitches is reduced about half. This makes the ankle right. When eighteen times round (or nine blocks) have been knit, seam around plain three or four times to form border to darker color; then join lighter color, knitting once around plain. Then with the lighter colored worsted knit one and seam one, taking back of knitted stitch as before. Knit thirty-nine rounds of light-color, binding off very loosely on the fortieth. Get soles from a shoemaker, the right size, and have him cut, welt and punch holes for convenience in sewing on tops. Sew on with strong linen thread, or twist waxed and doubled. Paste cloth or canton flannel inside on the sole, and crochet or border a place to run ribbon (about an inch wide) through, and a simple scollop is enough around the top of the boot. Run in a ribbon the shade of one of the worsteds used and tie. Single worsted can be had in many more beautiful shades than can be found in the double. For this reason, and because we like it better, we prefer to use it and knit it double —that is, knit two threads of it together —than to use the double worsted as it comes. In crocheting around the top to finish off the boots, use but one thread of the worsted. These “invalid boots,” as they are called, are quite new, they fit the foot beautifully, and are very warm and comfortable, as well as handsome when nicely made.

Feeding Chickens by Machine. Milwaukee Sentinel. That curious contrivance, the French stuffing machine, was on exhibition at the pet-stock fanciers' show in New York city, last week. Its office is to make fowls eat, whether they want to or not, the object being to make them fat. The machine consists of a tripod supporting a cylinder. From the bottom of the cylinder runs a rubber tube with a curved metallic nozzle on the end. An iron piston connected with an iron rod fits into the cylinder. Now, when Thanksgiving or some other festival which requires the slaughtering of fowls is approaching, and the farmer sees in his flock some wise old hen or turkey which persistently refuses to get fat, he seizes that refractory bird and jams the nozzle of the rubber tube down its'throat. The cylinder is filled with fattening food and force is applied, so that the food is forced through the rubber tube into the crop of the fowl. Os course, the fowl is “mad as a hatter,” and tries its best not to digest its involuntary meal. But it is of no use; turkeys and hens are not blessed with dyspepsia, and the unfortunate creaturo treated to this process every day finds itself growing fatter, until finally the climax is reached. Farm Notes. A cellar is a good place in which to keep butter. About 100 bushels of wood ashes per acre are a fair proportion to apply on light soils. If the fences have not been repaired the work should be done at once, as the busy season is fast approaching. Hard sub-soils serve to arrest and rebain escaping fertilizing material, but aie usually cold and late in advancing crops. Rice is one of the best substances for fattening fowls quickly. Boiled and mixed with ground oats and corn-meal, it cannot be excelled. Good dairying fits admirably into mixed farming. There is a suitable return made to the land in the way of manure, and the waste in the manufacture of butter is a great help in the feeding of calves and pigs. A good Vermont farmer obtains his best crops of spring grain by sowing the seed, both rye and wheat, the last thing in the fall before the ground freezes up. He has practiced seeding to grass at the same time with excellent result. Although pears on apple roots will grow and be of a dwarfish habit and bear a few years, they are short-lived. It will not pay in the end to graft on apple roots. Bud or graft on pear stocks for standards and on augus quince for dwarfs. A little charcoal, fed two or three times a week to the pigs, is beneficial in correcting aeiaitj r of the stomach, to which hogs are liable when fed upon corn and confined in a pen. They will eat it greedily, ana fatten much more readily with charcoal than without. Cabbages will often head if placed, roots downward, in a pit of sufficient depth to bring the tops of the leaves just above the surface of the ground and covered with straw or hay to prevent severe freezing. Increase the covering as the weather becomes colder. A great width between and prominence of the eyes indicates a teachable and tractable horse. Width between the ears indicates courage, nobleness and strength of character. Roundness and elevation between the eyes indicates mildness of disposition and desire to be caressed, and to reciprocate kindness. While kerosene will take the hair off a cow or horse, says the New York Tribune, it has no effect on swine, hut assists to clean the skin nicely, though appearing to make them itch or smart for a short time. Where objection may he entertained against pure kerosene it should be mixed with a like quantity of warm lard. The Tuscarawas county bee-keepers petition the Ohio Legislature to compel all cider-makers to inclose their mills so as to exclude bees. The preamble sets forth that the bees are enticed by the cider, and in its production are drowned and crushed in great numbers, and that they carry away and store cider in their combs, and this, eaten in cold weather, causes dysentery, which sometimes depopulates whole apiaries. A Western farmer says that he uses the following as a combined food and condition powder, with excellent results: Oil meal, 50 pounds; common sugar, 10 pounds; fine corn-meal, 40 pounds; fine middlings, 20 pounds; turmeric root, 1£ pounds; anise seed, 10 ounces; ginger, 2 ounces; caraway seed, 2 ounces; gentian, 8 ounces; cream tartar, 2 ounces; sulphur, 1 pound, and fine salt, 2 pounds. The amount given each animal is not stated. The more crowns a strawberry plant has the more berries one can expect Pull off all the leaves after fruiting except two or three, and it causes more crowns to grow, besides bright, fresh and very green leaves. But before one goes into strawberry culture he should take account of the manure he can get, and also find out whether he can get pickers enough when the season opens. It is of little use to think of raising strawberries for market without manure and pickers in abundance.
