WATER FOR TEAMS. 



Levi Bartlett, of Warner, New Hampshire, writes as follows concerii- 

 ing provisions for watering teams on public highways : 



In the article in the report of 1868 on county roads and road law.s, page .361, relative 

 to " water for teams," it is said : " It is a matter of so great importance that a full sup- 

 ply of water by the roadside l)e provided for teams, at intervals of at least an average 

 of five miles, that the subject should no longer be neglected, but a provision for secur- 

 ing a supply should be made in the county road laws." I am very happy to say that 

 such a provision has been made by our State laws. lu the town where I reside (War- 

 ner, New Hampshire) there are on the main traveled road through the town four of 

 these permanent watering troughs, and four on the cross roads. The owners receive 

 from the town treasury two dollars, each, annually. I think every tax-payer in the town 

 is perfectly satisfied with the arrangement. Two of the troughs are supplied with 

 water by lead or wooden pipes, the others are supplied from permanent springs i.ssuing 

 from the base of hills, near the roadside, in open spouts. Such is the temperature of 

 these spring waters that there is no trouble with ice in our coldest winters. 



GRAIN IX NORTHERN RUSSIA. 



The following has been received from Eugene Schuyler, United States 

 consul at Revel, (on the Gulf of Finland, west of St. Petersburg,) Russia : 



According to the results of the harvests of 1869 the exports ought to experience a 

 sensible augmentation, for the cereals are so abundant as to allow the filling up of the 

 reserve storehouses, which had been entirely exhausted, besides furnishing enough for 

 local consumption, and leaving a large quantity for foreign demands. 



The distilleries, which had sufl^ered so much in consequence of the poor harvests, are 

 reviving, and in Esthonia there are already 133 in full activity. This prosperous con- 

 dition is not due solely to the abundance of grain, but in great part to a chance event 

 which has very much increased the prices of whisky (vodka) in the government of St. 

 Petersburg — the burning of the bridge over the river Usta, on the Moscow-Petersburg 

 railway, which occurred in the early days of November. The arrivals from Moscow
