Y. gek, Hock Advices received this week from leading buyers in the United States urge local dealers to exerc se caution in the purchase of this season‘s wool clip. It is stated by a leading American dealer that considerable of the wool purchased in Canada and exported to the United States last year is still in hand. This was expected, however, becaase it was pretty well known that a duty that would be almost prohibitâ€" ive would be imposed and dealers bought in that expectation, sufficient wool to last them two years or more. The situation this year is exciting much interest,. Tb is not a very leasy matter to get at the exact value of the Canaâ€" dian clip this season. But it may be arrived atb approximately in this way : The price of wool in the United States is 28¢; taking the duty of 12c per lb. from that price leaves 16:; then the freight and profit when deducted from that amount would leave 14c, which local dealers believe will beabout the price that the bulk of the wool will sell mt the opening of the season. It is thought that some of the Canadian woollen mills could profitably engage in the manufacture of some lines of low grade goods fromUanadian fisece wools, and if this is done it will increase the News of the Waterloo County District Gleaned From Exchanges. The Coming Wool Clip. CONSUMPTION CURED, OBITUARY. Failures in the various spursuit called "businers," or in other words mercantile ventures, gre u:ually attriâ€" bauted to three causesâ€"first, lack of ability ; second, lack of capital ; and third, too much competition, whereby the supply is rendered greater than the demard, and hence a cutting of prices to get rid of an overstock, which results in such a sacrifice that the firm canuot prosper, and tharefore fails. _ Raising pou‘try for prif‘, when it takes the nature of a business, can be compared to other pursuits of a s‘milar objâ€"ct, and must, like all mercantile ventures, be run on business principles, or certain failure will be the result. IThe majority of poultry plants sre run for profit, and are either a distinct business by themselves or are a part of a general dairy, fruibt or farm business. The minority are run at & loss, and are usually corducted by wealthy amateurs, who enter into the pursuit for a fad or to gratify a love for pou!try keeping, or perhaps to improve the different breeds, willing to sacrifice the money for the goo14 of the industry, and with no idea of profit. Raising poultry for profit is subject to two of the three irfluences which govern any other business pursuit. It requires ability and capita‘, but so far has cot been affected by the third. aamely, competition, over production and its consequent disasters. The first quality necessary, therefore, either in any ordinary business pursuit or in raising poultry, is avility. There are thousands and thousands of small flcks of poultry throughout this country which add many welcome dolâ€" lars to the other crops of a farm and produce the bulk of all our eggs. There are also a few hundred large poultry plaots, housizcg from three hundred to a thousand or more head. These, both large and small, are run on strictly business principles, as their succes: year after year denotes, and the profit realiz:d from them shows conclusively the ability of the men running them. When this ability can accumulate money ib is turved into capital which is invested in enlarging the plant, and the business continues to grow in pro portion. Now when any pursuit is prosperous, it does not attract our attention spec: ial‘y, because we see at a glance that with its system and business principles and the sbility of the people running it, it is bound to succeed. _ We therefore pass it by and stop at a wellâ€"cquipped plant where we reglize at once that plenty of capital has been invested and where in appearance everything should ba prosperous, but where, on the conâ€" trary, everything is a failure. The capital in this case is being sacrificed through the lack of ability to turn it into a profitable channel, The secret of the failures of wellâ€" equipped pou‘try plants, where capital is plentiful, lies in the fact that the owners think to make a profib by hiring some manâ€"of course a poulbryman preferredâ€"to run_ the establishment and make it succeed for them. This is not an impossible thing to do, but one of the first reqaisites is the poultryman, or in o‘her words, the ability. First: class poultrymen out of employment are as scarce as hens with teeth. Again, a firstâ€"class poultryman hired by a man who knows nothing about raising poultry soon becomes a second class man ab everything. There may be exceptions to this rule, but they are scarce. Raising poultry is a peculiar and at the same time a fascinating pursuit. The person who enters into it must, above all have a great fondness for it. It at no time becomes mechanical or commonplace. The foreman of a canâ€" ning factory would not therefore sucâ€" ceed in raising chickens if he ran them on the same principle he had been run«, ning his canning room on. As each season comes round, there is something new, something different to learn about chickens. _ As a rule, ib is all in the line of improvement, and with an aim to be more successful each year. When disâ€" aster and bad luck overtake the breedâ€" er, it is his great fondness for the pursuibt which carries him through. He mustfalso have a sufficient quantity of common sense and knowledge of his business to be able to make up losses and finally come out with a prospsrous season. Of course there are many instances in other business enterprises where one man invests capital and another man tries by ability to make a profit for the concern ; but in such a case the capiâ€" talist must bave confidence in the ability of his partner to make a snccess or he would not entrust money to him. So ib should be in the poultry business. If a capitalist hires a poultryman to provide the abilityâ€"which means, or should mean successful experienseâ€"the former ought to get a fair return for the wages at least. .But the truth of the matter is that there are no firstâ€" class poultrymen to be hired. They aroe either all working for some one else or are in business for themselves. The second quality necessary for a successful poultry plant is capital. Without this all the ability in the world cannot succeed. The capital may be great orsmall, but capital it must be, and available at the start. _ There is really more chance for success for a man with capital who is willing to learn by experience, than for a man with ability and no capital. At the beginâ€" ning of one‘s career in poulbryâ€"raising there are houses and yards to make, stock and eggs to be bought, and a living to be paid for before any returns can be counted on. Investment of capital should be by easy stages, never putting in more money than you can conbrol. One man may succeed with a bundred hens whofinvests a few hunâ€" dred dollars for their housing and keep, and another may fail who invests largely and goes into the venture on an extonded scale. Qne should learn to The Requisites of Success. creep before he walks, in this, as in any other business. Master the numâ€" erous details step by step, and eventâ€" ually master the business. There may not be sny very large fortunes to be made in poultryâ€"raising but there is a handsome living for any one who hss the love for the pursuit, the ability to raise and care for stock, and a small capital to start with. These three things must go hand in hand ; separately they will not bring success.â€"E. 0. Rorsstr, in Country Gentleman, FOOD SUPPLY IN WAR TIME. A Timely Topic Uppermost in Great Britain. New York, May 8 â€"Mr.Ford,in his cable letser to tha Tribune toâ€"day from London, says : ‘The power of the Unitâ€" ed States over the food supplies of the world has been demonstrated already, even if the war has only Jasted & fortâ€" night and a decisive naval engagement in the Wost Indies still hangs fire. The proofs are the bread riots in Italy, the compulsory reduction of wheat duties in France, the rise of provisions in Germany and the advance of the price of Eaglish wheat to 50 shillings a quarter. Earop3 has been subjected at once to the pressure of high prices for food, and has been warned that its privations will increase with the durâ€" ation of the war. Nob a single grain ship has been captured on the Atlantic and neutral commerce is safe, yet the loaf is already dear in England and on the continent. Even a fortnight of indecisive campaigning serves to prove that Europe, owing to her increased dependence upon imported food supâ€" plies, is illâ€"prepared to face the risks of starvation from prolonged warfare and grain speculation on a large scale; ezâ€" pecially when the world‘s wheas crop last year was insufficient for current requirements in the absence of any large reserve stocks, as toâ€"day‘s Statist clearly points out. This subject is attracting much attention in England, owing to the timely publication of the Yerburgh Committee on national wheat stores, The theme is not a new one; experts have discussed it in the magaâ€" zines for many years without having had a fair hearing. Market quotations and bakers‘ prices now emphasize the committee‘s declaration that after a harvest home the supply of wheat lasts only fourteen weeks, and that after the first of March there is never more than aix weeks‘ store of. food on hband. Bounties for farmers and subsidies for millers are rejected as impracticable. The committee considers national wheat granaries as indispensable to the deâ€" fence of the United Kingdom in time of war and recommends the purchase of 8,000,000 quarters of wheat, with the renewal of a third of the stock every year. Objâ€"ctions point out that even this reserved stock of food would serve for only fourteen weeks‘ supply. The press discussion of the whole subject leads up to the general conclusion that a royal commission must be appointed to conduct an exhaustive inquiry into the national food supply in time of war, and that England must have a navyy able to beat all creation.‘ Mars.

Baltimore, Md., May 11.â€"At the scssion of the quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, toâ€"day, a memorial was introâ€" duced which promises to make things lively for church menkers who desire to attend theatres, dances, play cards, go to circuses, or horse races, or belong to clubs which serve liquor. The memorâ€" ial was introduced by the Virginia delâ€" egates, was simply read by title ‘Worldly Amusements,‘ and was reforrâ€" ed to the committee on revivals. The memorial is as follows :â€" ‘Questionâ€"What shall be done to prevent the spread of _ worldliness among our churches, especialiy in its most open forms ? ‘Answerâ€"1. Let all our preachers and members faithfully observe our general rules, which forbid ‘softness or needless selfâ€"indulgence‘ and the taking of such diversions as cannot be taken in the name of the Lord Jesus. ‘2. When any of our members engage in dansing, card playing, or horse racâ€" ing, or attend upon theatres, circuses, dances, or join social clubs which furnâ€" ish intoxicating liquors for the memâ€" bers, the pastor shall give private reproof to the offender. If there be any acknowledgement of the fault and promise of amendment, the person may be borne with, otherwise the preacher must take with him two or three faithâ€" ful friends who shall labor to bring the offender to proper repentance, but if he will nob hsar them and there be no sign of amendment, the offenderâ€" must be dealt with as in case of immorality.‘ The committee on temporance reâ€" ported against the request of the anti saloon league for the appointment of. a director representing the conference on the league board, and ailso against naming delegates to the national conâ€" vention, considering the appointment of delegates locally to be fully sufficâ€" ient. i &A & se Sm ‘WORIIDLY AMUSEMENTS.

Spanish Madrid, May 13.â€"A despatch from Havana says : "At 8 o‘clock yesterday mornivg three large and three small American ships appeared off Cardenas. A small boaat was detached with some marines, who landed near the fort and seized it. They. also seized the semaâ€" pbhore stabion, taking the coast guards prisoners. In the meantime the warships began a furious cannonade. Cardenas does not possess defences of any kind, and only the little gunboats Ligeria and Antouio Lopez were in port. They replied to the attack. The Antonio Lopez was disabled. But 300 volunâ€" teers defended the town, prevented a landing and compelled the American ships to retire with considerable loss A Spanish sergoant and seven so‘ldiers were wounded. The engagement took place inside the harbor of Cardenas. The cruiser Wilm:â€" ington, the torpedo boat Winslow and the gunboat Hudson were the only vessels engaged.. They entered the harbor for the purpose of attacking some Spanish gunboats which were known to be there. But the latter were not discovered by the American force until the Spaniards opened fire, The land batteries of Cardenas supâ€" ported the fire of the Spanish gunboats. The engagement commenced at 2.05 p. m., ard lasted for about an hour. The Wilmington and the Hudson were ahead and opened fire on the Spanish boats, which were lying at the docks. The firing began at a range of 3,500 yards. Captainâ€"General Blanco has congrat ulated the authorities of Cardenas." A feow minutes after the firing began the Winslow came up and also opened fire, In an instant the entire attention of the Spanish gunboats and land batteries were directed upon her. From all sides shot and shell seemed to pour in upon the little torpedo boat. â€" The Wilmington and the Hudson still kept up their fire, but they could not turn aside the terrible storm of fire and death pouring in upon upon the torpedo boat. The crew of the Winslow,. however, never faltered for a second. But at 2.35 p. m., a solid shot crashed into the bull of the Winslow and knocked out her boiler. In an instant she began to coll and drift helplessly. Then there wes a moment of awful suspence. A fierce cheer of triumph went up from the Spaniards on the gunboats and the firing was renewed upon the helpless boat. <The gunboat Hudson, which was lying near by, started to the assistanze of the Winsâ€" low. She ran alongside the torpedo boat and tried to throw a line to the imperiled crow. It was difficulb for the Hudson to get near enough to throw a line to the Winslow‘s crew, so terrible was the fire all about her. Finally, after trying for about 20 minutes, the Hudson approached near enough to throw a line. Ensign Bagley and six men were standing in a group on the deck of the Winslow. "Heave her, heave her," shouted Bagley,as he looked toward the commander of the Huadson and called for a line. "Don‘t miss it," shoated an officer from the Hudson, and with a smile Bagley called back ; "Let her come, it‘s getting too hob here for comfort." The line was thrown and at the same instant a shell burst in the very midst of the group of men on board the Winslow. Bagley was instantly killed, and a few others dropped about him. Half a dozen more fell groaning on the blood:â€" stained deck. ' The Winslow is badly damaged and will be sent here as soon as temporary repairs can be made. ‘I don‘t know that I need any work done about the hoase.
