The  other  day,  Bernard  Miller,  a  German  tailor  24 
years  old,  died  In  this  city  of  sheep  rot,  contracted 
while  cleaning  woolen  cloth,  some  of  the  dirt  and 
grease  of  which  got  under  his  linger  nails.  At  Bel  le- 
yue  Hospital  the  disease  was  diagnosed  as  erysip¬ 
elas;  but  an  autopsy  showed  it  was  sheep  rot. 
For  several  years  Mystic,  Conn.,  haB  been  paytng  a 
bounty  of  $5  per  head  for  old  foxes  and  half  that  sum 
for  young  ones.  A  genius  has  been  raising  young 
foxes  till  they  brought  the  highest  price  and  drawing 
large  sums  from  the  town,  which  has  on  discovering 
the  scheme,  just  reduced  the  bounty  on  old  foxes  to 
(3  each. 
In  at  least  three  great  Russian  provinces  famine 
will  be  felt  this  winter.  The  Governors  of  two  of 
them  have  ashed  the  Government  for  7,000,000  rubles 
to  prevent  starvation.  The  Czar  has  given  3.000.000 
rubles  (61 cents  each)  and  public  works  are  to  be 
started  to  give  the  starving  population  a  chance  to 
earn  a  living. 
paying  an  Income  tax  on  an  income  never  earned. 
Resolved,  that  the  laws  of  land  tenure  should  be  so 
amended  as  to  secure  to  tenants  the  value  of  the  im¬ 
provements  they  make  on  their  holdings;  also  that 
distress  for  rent.should  be  abolished  and  that  an 
equal  division  of  rates  should  be  made  between  the 
owners  and  occupiers  of  land.  A  resolution  In  favor 
of  protection  for  agricultural  products  in  the  line  of 
“  fair  trade  ”  was  enthusiastically  passed.  The  con¬ 
dition  of  agricultural  affairs  In  Ireland  Is  fully  as  bad 
as  in  England.  Cattle  are  unsalable  at  almost  any 
price,  and  the  flax  crop  has  proved  a  disastrous 
failure.  Measures  were  taken  to  organize  an  Agri¬ 
cultural  Union,  so  as  to  give  greater  weight  to  the 
demands  and  recommendations  of  the  farmers. 
Neutral  newspapers  speak  well  of  the  conference 
proceedings.  Eight  hundred  farmers'  societies  were 
represented.

and  cask  prizes  is  sure  to  be  profitable

The  Minnesota  Supremo  Court  has  just  decided 
that  a  wife’s  contingent  dower  right  In  real  estate  Is 
not  lost  by  a  transfer  of  title  to  a  purchaser  at  an  ex¬ 
ecution  sale  founded  on  a  judgment  against  the 
owners.  The  decision  Is  contrary  to  the  legal  custom 
In  the  State  for  33  years,  and  must  lead  to  endless 
litigation,  as  It  clouds  the  titles  to  millions  of  dollars’ 
worth  of  real  estate. 
This  new  swindle  Is  extensively  practiced  In  rural 
districts  In  some  parts  of  the  country.  A  gllb-tongued 
stranger  sells  as  many  bicycles  as  he  can  at  a  low 
price;  a  few  days  later  a  confederate  turns  up  and 
“proves"  the  wheels  were  stolen  from  him  and  takes 
’em  away.  Other  things  are  often  substituted  for 
bicycles  by  the  rascals. 
The  Milwaukee  broom  makers  have  formed  a  com¬ 
bination  and  advanced  prices  30  per  cent.  There’s 
also  a  corner  In  broom  corn,  manipulated  by  a  num¬ 
ber  of  Chicago  dealers  operating  under  “  an  agree¬ 
ment  between  gentlemen,"  which  does  not  forbid 
them  to  “  skin  ”  growers  by  giving  them  only  starva¬ 
tion  prices  for  their  product. 
The  38th  annual  meeting  of  the  Western  New  York 
Horticultural  Society  will  be  held  at  Rochester,  N. 
Y.,  January  25  and  26.  An  elaborate  programme  Is 
being  prepared,  Including  papers  of  great  interest  to 
horticulturists,  as  well  as  reports  and  question*  for 
discussion  Secretary  and  Treasurer  John  Hall,  400

The  other  day  the  first  marketable  tea  ever  pro¬ 
duced  in  the  United  States  was  exhibited  In  Balti¬ 
more  by  C.  U.  Shepard,  of  Summerville,  S.  C.,  who 
grew  and,  by  means  of  a  common  fruit  evaporator, 
cured  40  pounds  this  year  on  hit  farm.  It  was  pro¬ 
nounced  equal  to  the  best  high-grade  breakfast  tea 
and  superior  to  many  grades  from  India  and  China. 
The  “Industrial  Legion  of  the  United  States,” 
a  political  offshoot  of  the  Farmers’  Alliance  and  Peo¬ 
ple’s  party,  started  at  the  late  Memphis  convention, 
Is  reported  to  be  spreading  rapidly  in  the  West.  It 
consists  of  three  classes— males  over  21 ;  males  under 
21  and  over  1 4,  and  a  Women's  Aid  Corps,  an  auxiliary 
to  the  first.  It’s  modeled  after  the  G.  A.  R.,  and  par¬ 
takes  of  its  secret  character. 
Royal  decrees  are  published  permitting  the  free 
Importation  of  American  vines  to  repair  the  losses 
caused  by  the  phylloxera  In  the  vine-growing  dis¬ 
tricts  of  Spain.  The  districts  mentioned  are  Barce¬ 
lona,  Alraerla,  Granada,  Seville,  Salamanca,  Za¬ 
mora,  Orense,  Lugo,  Malaga,  Gerona  and  the  Balearic 
Islands.  Vineyards  covering  880,000  acres  have 
already  been  destroyed  by  the  phylloxera,  and  08,000 
acres  more  have  been  Invaded  by  the  pest. 
The  latest  weekly  report  of  the  shipments  of  wheat 
from  India  Indicated  a  movement  of  400,000  bushels, 
of  which  240,000  were  to  the  United  Kingdom  and  the 
remainder  to  the  continent  of  Europe.  The  ship¬ 
ments  for  the  corresponding  week  one  year  ago  were 
1,440,000  bushels.  The  total  Indian  shipments  of 
wheat  since  April  1  are  placed  at  21,040,000  bushels 
against  38,140,000  for  the  corresponding  period  of  1891, 
showing  a  material  falling  off  in  the  amount  India 
Is  enabled  to  feed  Europe. 
After  12  hours  of  continuous  sky  bombardment  near 
8an  Antonio,  Texas,  Gen.  Dryenforth's  attempt  to 
cause  artificial  rain  came  to  an  end  at  6.30  a.  m.  on 
December  1,  Five  thousand  pounds  of  the  new  ex¬ 
plosive  roselllte  were  let  off.  and  10  of  the  hydrogen- 
oxygen  ballons  were  exploded  at  altitudes  varying 
from  2,000  to  3,000  feet.  Beyond  a  slight  local  shower 
lasting  a  few  minutes,  no  rain  fell  during  the  experi¬ 
ment  or  the  following  day.  It  Is  now  generally  be¬ 
lieved  even  by  the  most  enthusiastic,  that  no  useful 
results  can  come  from  sky  bombardments. 
On  December  1  a  gigantic  barbed  wire  trust  with 
headquarters  at  Chicago  and  branches  at  St.  Louis, 
New  York,  Pittsburg  and  San  Francisco,  was  organ¬ 
ized  under  the  laws  of  Illinois,  and  the  name  of  the 
Consolidated  Steel  and  Wire  Company.  It  has  a  paid 
In  capital  of  $16,000,000  and  Is  composed  of  the  follow¬ 
ing  concerns:  St.  Louis  Wire  Mill  Company,  St.  Louis; 
Braddock  Wire  Company,  Pittsburg;  Lambert  & 
Bishop  Wire  Fence  Con  pany ,  Joliet,  111 ;  Iowa  Barbed 
Wire  Company,  New  York  city  and  Allentown,  Pa. ; 
Baker  Wire  Company,  Chicago.  Look  out  for  a 
rise  In  the  prices  of  the  monopoly's  goods. 
During  the  last  fiscal  year  raw  cotton  was  Imported 
free  of  duty  to  the  amount  of  $3,215,303.  as  against 
$2,826,004  for  the  previous  year,  and  $1,392,728  for  the 
year  ending  June  30,  1890.  Most  of  it  came  from 
Egypt,  as  manufacturers  want  it  for  some  character¬ 
istics  not  found  in  the  domestic  product.  Some  comes 
from  Peru,  however,  and  all  this  Is  reported  to  be 
used  Instead  of  wool,  its  character  being  such  as  to 
make  It  especially  available  for  mixing  with  woolen 
goods  without  detection.  The  Department  of  Agrl 
culture,  with  the  cooperation  of  the  experiment  sta¬ 
tions  In  the  cotton  States,  has  undertaken  experi¬ 
ments  with  a  view  of  producing  a  substitute  for 
Egyptian  cotton  at  home. 
The  great  Agricultural  Conference  of  the  farmers 
of  the  United  Kingdom  concluded  its  work  on  De¬ 
cembers.  Resolved  that  Imperial  and  local  farm  taxes 
ought  to  be  reduced.  Farms  now  greatly  overtaxed,

Prominent  among  tho  advertisements  In  the  New 
York  produce  trade  papers  are  thoso  calling  the 
attention  of  dealers  to  the  facilities  offered  by  the 
advertisers  for  the  cold  storage  of  all  kinds  of  per¬ 
ishable  produce. 
Some  enterprising  Long  Islander,  by  some  means, 
kept  a  lot  of  tomatoes  until  all  others  were  out  of 
market,  and  then  secured  what  must  have  proved 
very  satisfactory  prices  by  springing  them  on  an 
unsuspecting  public. 
In  regard  to  the  Interior  hop  market,  the  Water- 
vllle  Times  says  that  there  is  a  little  business  doing 
all  the  time.  The  prices  at  which  the  majority  of 
stock  Is  moving  are  20  to  22  cents,  although  Inferior 
grades  aro  bought  for  less.  The  highest  price  paid 
last  week  was  22%  cents. 
E.  L.  Goodsoll  reports  exceptionally  good  sales  of 
California  fruit  this  year.  The  sales  of  one  car 
containing  800  packagesof  grapes  of  various  varieties 
realized  $2,474.80  gross,  and  $1,745.81  net.  This  Is  the 
highest  price  yet  realized  for  California  shippers. 
One  lot  sold  as  high  as  $9.10  per  crate.  These  crates 
hold  20  and  40  pounds  respectively,  the  single  crates 
holding  20  and  the  double  40  pounds  each.  Mr.  Good- 
sell  attributes  these  high  prices  largely  to  the  fact 
that  the  shippers  of  this  car-load  have  established 
reputations  for  themselves  for  careful  picking  and 
packing.  They  use  Individual  brands  also,  which 
Identify  tho  fruit  at  a  glance. 
The  Cooperstown  Journal  says  that  a  few  hundred 
bales  of  good  brewing  hops  have  been  purchased  by 
Cooperstown  dealers  during  the  past  week,  most  of 
them  at  21  cents  to  22%  cents.  Choice  shippers  wou  Id 
command  about  25  cents.  The  local  market  Is  still 
as  high  as  that  of  any  otner  point  In  the  State.  It 
Is  estimated  that  about  12,000  bales  of  Otsego  County 
hops  of  tho  crop  of  1892  have  been  purchased,  mainly 
by  Cooperstown  dealers,  since  the  market  opened 
September  1,  and  a  local  grower  shipped  abroad  on 
his  own  account  about  1,000  bales.  This  disposed  of 
about  one-half  the  crop  of  the  county.  Those  grow¬ 
ers  who  own  the  other  half  are  likely  to  get  as  much 
money  for  them  as  the  first  half  brought  If  they  do 
not  crowd  them  on  the  market.
