N*f** '^Yobk, February 15.—R. G. Dan 4b Co.'s weekly review of trade nays: The business outlook I* somewhat more favorable. While a- large amount of money has gone into the treasury, rates here remain moderate and the market easy. All interior market* are also easier. Report* as to collections are satisfactory, with the few exceptions. There la still no really adverse change in tlbe iron business, and the weekly oat* pint of furnaces February 1st was 173,051 tons,against 174,038January 1st, again of 16.6 per cent over the output of a year ago. The demand for plfj does not yet indicate a probable advance in price, and at Pittsburg beesemer is a little weaker, but other iron rather strong because of the increase of 12 per cent, conceded in wages of coke workers. This, with a reduction of 30 per cent, in Western freights, makes a difference in favor of Southern snd Western producers, but there are now reports of a probable strike in the Alabama coke works. At Philadelphia rails are steady, but not stronger, re-sales of large lots taken for speculation at $27 and $2H having caused weakness* There is no snap in the demand for bar and the market for pistes is "dull and disappointing, with no great activity in structural iron, nails dull and old raits lower,"
•%c
Copper and tin are lower abroad, sellfng here at 14 cents for lake and 20$ cents for strati, and lead Is lower at about $3.80. No relief appears in the coal business, and the February tonnage has been reduced by agreement to two million, the output in January having been 320,000 tons below that of lost year. The textile industries present a more hopeful aspect. With a steady and strong demand for goods, cotton manufacturers have increased their taking of cotton largely since January 1st, so the aggregates now exceed that of last crop year to date. There is a better demand for woolan goods also. The speculative markets have not tended upward during the past week. In wheat, with sales of 22,000,000 bushels, there has been a decline of cents, and in corn, with salt* of 10,000,000 bushels, a decline of cents, the current price even at this aboard being only 35f cents. Oats are also cents lower, and pork products unchanged, as is oil with small transactions. The speculation in cotton has been enormous, mU'n rearhing 850,000 bales for the week, with an advance of a quarter. Coffee has been steady with moderate sales, bat sugar 1-16 lower and sales 0 cents per luO pounds below the trust prices continue to weaken the refined, though tho trust stock has been vigorously advanced. The exports of wheat and flour have fallen much below those of the same time last year, while corn exports continue large The general level of prices, notwitbstand ing the decline in breadstuff*, Is about of 1 per cent, higher than for the past
The treasury has taken in $1,000,000 cash more than it has paid out, and while its disbursements for pensions are expected to be large, further purchases of bonds in large account are not antici pated. If no further supplies of money return from the interior a closer market will naturally result before April 1st. Exports of merchandise for halt of Feb ruary have been fully up to those of last year, hut from this time some excess of Imports over exports is probable.
The business failures number 302, as compared with a total of 321 last week. For the corresponding week of last year tho figures were 289.

The object for which tho council is summoned is tho consideration of the measures necessary to regulate the position of the working people, before submitting these measures to the legislative bodies, with whom must rest the final decision as to their wisdom, regard it as important that the council shall conscientiously and impartially examine ray proposals and give* its Judgment npon the expediency, practicability and scope of the suggestions, The task is a serious and responsible one.
The state council should endeavor to frame a scheme for the protection of
igrooA advantage and their inability t* help themselves by any other mean* than the desperate remedy Of strikes. It should also attempt to project women and children against protracted hours of labor. At the same time due regard should be given as to how far German industry will bear the increased burdens thus pl«**l on the cost of production withoutjjeMardy to Germany# position as a eompeWor in themarketsof the world.

The Supreme Court set on a raised plat form. Beside Chief Justice Fuller sat a gentleman who seemed to be In the most joyful spirits. This was ex-Presideut Cleveland, and his friendly intercourse with Judge Fuller was so conspicuous as to attract general attention. These two men passed what seemed to be anecdote and joke, indulging often In laughter that was hearty though dignified.and occasionally the ex-president, lapsing into the seriousness which characterises him usually, gesticulated with his fore-linger upon the palm of his hand that he might emphasise some'comment which he was pouring into the ear of the Chief Justice.
Stretched out in either direction were the members of tho Supreme Court. Justice Field, taciturn, occasionally glanced ever to the table where his two equally distinguished brothers, Cyrus and David Dudley, sat side by side, and once held up his glass as though

Prominent educators among as have for a long time recognized a seriooa defect in the course of study in the common schools of the country in that the study of the natural sciences Is almost entirely and In many cases
g«dte
ignored.
Public attention has been from time to time called to the matter, and the defects of our system, or rather lack of system, dwelt upon, but without enlisting public attention. Particularly it been claimed that In a farming community, where the scholars are constantly surrounded by works of nature In their myriad forms, the elements of the sciences relating to agriculture should claim a
share of
attention in the
common schools. But public teachers obey the demands of those whom they serve, and do not shape public opinion. Any radical change must come from the parents of the children In the schools, so tbe scholars must go on grinding over their arithmetic, algebra and geography or taketotiie Greek or Latin,asso many of them do, and
the
natural sciences re
main unknown. It Is altogether probable that more students would find their tastes leading them to tbe colleges of agriculture were their attention di reeled in these channels in their earlier years.
To make this desirable change, the people, more than the educators,
must
demand.it And to even make a start text-books must
be available for use by
the scholar*. The Somerset Pomona Orange, under tbe lead of two prom inent farmer educators, Professor Q. Winslow and Mr.
M. L.
in the
Merrill, both of
St Albans, h&ve taken hold
of this prob
lem In earnest, and with a full comprehension of what Is needed in the matter. Hie matter lias been under consideration at several of their meetings in the county, and resulted In their bringing it before the State Orange, at Belfast, for broader consideration and further action. Professor Winslow is the superintendent of schools

Eggs for sitting should be from healthy adult birds not related. Never breed from late turkeys if it is possible to got better. Never breed from yearling turkeys if you can get 3-year-olds.
The beat prices for chicks are for those hatched early. When a hen desires to incubate It is better to allow her to do so, aa the hatching and raising of a brood will put her in better condition for laying than if she is "broken up" from sitting.
Hens, like horsos and men, do not need »nch things as condition powders, and only seldom are tonics required. The true tonics for poultry, and tho only conditioning, are strict cleanliness, good, clean, nutritious food, and pure water, with sufficient room to exercise in.
The claim that pounded oyster shells assist in providing lime for egg shells is not sustained. The hens in limestone sections and along the seathore, where shell* are plentiful, lay eggs with soft shells as frequently as those elsewhere. The lime of egg shells derived from the food.
When corn aells for IS cents and wheat for 60 cents per bushel, what is the cost for producing a dosen eggs or a pound of poultry meat? asks the Farm Journal Which yields the greatest profit)* What do yon know about the matter For the lack of sneh knowledge many farmers are wasting their grain and losing money.
Scatter newly slaked lime la the henhouses as often n» yon wish, as it will absorb moisture and dry the apartment Do not scatter it o« the droppings that have accumulated, however, as it will ovum Iocs of ammonia, but dust it on the door, «the walls and over the nests, as well as or?r the yards. It win greatly prevent disease, and also destroy ail lies that it touches. Ho hen-honse that Is frequently dmtsd with lime will be affected with lice If they have not secured a foothold. lime purifies the qnariem and dries them, and as It Is cheap and plentiful it should be often and plentifully.

cannot put the elementary study of agrl culture into the schools without books for teaching it So, while cultivating public sentiment, text-books must be provided. The matter was referred to the committee on agriculture, who subsequently made an excellent report, and further moved the raising of a committee of three to pursue the matter and take measures to procure, if possible, the publication of suitable text-books, that one branch of study, at leastj pursued at school shall have direct reference to the occupation of farming. The matter met the cordial response of the State Orauge, and Professor O. Winslaw of St Albans, 21 A. Gilbert, North

Cross-bred Poultry for the Market. The most successful market poultry is obtained by proper crossing. And what branch of the business pays so well as that which supplies the tables of the rich and poor? There is profit in breeding fancy fowls after a reputation has been acieved, but that costs money and tima Market poultry needs no reputation. All it requires is good common sense, and enough experience to run the business. The average farmer has these,
The writer has been severely criticised by some fancy breeders for his stand on crosses, but, as bis aim is to benefit the market, he feels justified in his position Besides, tltere Is plenty

fancy and market poultry.
We need the
fancier by all means. We cannot pro* duce crosses without pure-breds. There are two groat points desired in the breeding of poultry—an increased production of egg*,
and improvement for the table.
These are the legitimate
as
grounds whioh
justify crass-breeding. In crosses we combine quality with sice, as, for example, Houdan on Cochin or Brahma, or Cochin on Dorking. This latter cross is after the English fashion.
They

take
a good two-year-old Cochin cook and mate with six good Dorking hens
of a
year old. The pullets of the cross are next season mated with game, and their produce is

marketed. Thus
they gain sice from the Cochin, and quality from the Dorking. By the game cross very little in size Is sacrificed, while another first rate cross, in point of quality is added. An Englishman, referring to tbis cross, once said: "Tbefieshis as white
as
savory as any
aldermanic gourmand could desire." It must be understood, however, that nothing is gained by mating the progeny. Crose-bred birds should never be mated together. When we make the cross we have the ideal of onrexperiment beyond that there l« a downward tendency.

can be obtained in mating for egg-pro duction. That

It Is well known that muscles put to any unusual or severe strain are likely to suffer lameness and soreness. Some* times this paves tbe way for rheumatism. A brisk rubbing of the parts that have been overworked will save subsequent lameness. If the lower limbs are treated In this way after an unusual and fatiguing walk, the naturally-expected lameness will be quite sure to be missed the following day. Those who find ft difficult to get to sleep at night should try the experiment of giving the body a brisk and thorough rubbing just before retiring, using the palm* of Hie hands, ora moderately stiff towel, or fieth-bru*ht while the effect of freeing the pores of the skin from deleterious matter would he beoftficlai to the general health.
