aged 50. A party was held at his home in the 
evening. The guests had just left when he 
was suddenly taken ill, and died before a 
physician could be called His association 
with the firm of C. Aultman & Co., agricul¬ 
tural implement manufacturers, the Wrought 
Iron Bridge Company, of Akron, and the 
Mansfield Mower and Reaper Works, together 
with other big enterprises, bad made him 
known throughout the country. Mr Ault- 
man’s life was insured for over ? 100,000. he 
took out policies for £50,000 six months ago. 
He leaves one child, Mrs. George D. Harter, 
of Canton, and bis second wife. He contri¬ 
buted §00,000 to the new' First Methodist 
Episcopal Church, and contributed largely to 
Kenyon College.There were received 
at the Warkworth cheese factory, Wark worth, 
Ontario, Canada, for the season of 1S84, 2,877,- 
023 puunds of milk, makiDg 251,052 pouuds of 
cheese, which realized the sum of §28,620.23, 
making an average of §20.80 to the standard 
cow, or 3,000 pounds of milk.A league 
has been formed in New Mexico to prevent 
cattle from being driven on the ranges unless 
their owners have secured water rights, and 
cattlemeu who have already monopolized all 
the water rights are said to be determined to 
enforce this regulation “for their own pro¬ 
tection.” .Bad drinking water given to a 
few cows owned by a single farmer in Ayr¬ 
shire, Scotland, caused an outbreak of typhoid 
fever in three hospitals, and the illness of 104 
patients. The germs of the disease were trans¬ 
mitted by milk.

A change in the system of corn grading 
in the Pbiladelphia market has been made. 
The principal feature of the change is that the 
grade of corn that has heretofore been known 
in Philadelphia as sail mixed, and in .New 
York and Chicago as No. 3, is now designated 
No. 2 mixed, to conform to the grading in 
ottier cities. There is also a grade of No. 2 
yellow which takes the place of the former 
sail yellow; and a grade called No. 1 yellow 
has been established to piovide a suitable 
standard for the receipts of fancy yellow from 
Delaware and Maryland and a few sections in 
the West. The grade of rejected has been 
changed to No 4. 
Tne Mark Lane Express says: American 
papers continue to report a probable diminu¬ 
tion in the wheat area of the United Htat.es. A 
passage to this effect quoted in “Foreign and 
Colonial Agriculture” to-day is very striking. 
Similar reports come from New Zealand. In 
England, too, the latest reports indicate a 
considerable reduction in the wheat acreage. 
On the other hand, the accumulation of wheat 
in India is said to be very large, and auy con¬ 
siderable rise in price would bring it here in 
large quantities. On the whole, the chances 
appear decidedly against much improvement 
in prices in the near future, but in favor of a 
rise next year, unless crop prospects should be 
uuusuaily good on both sides of the Atlantic. 
Returns of the imports and exports of grain 
in Austria-Hungary during the first half of 
1884 show a striking contrast with correspond¬ 
ing time in ISsS. During the first six uioutns 
of 1883 the surplus exports reached 5,718,000 
bushels; for corresponding time iu 1884 there 
was a surplus import of 8,340.000 bushels— 
making a total change of 8,058,000 bushels. 
It is assertod that Russian wheat will soon 
move more freely into British and Continental 
markets. Arrangements have been made 
with the Riga Mitau and Libau-Romuy rail¬ 
ways for a direct sea service from Loudon, 
Hull, Newcastle, Antwerp, Havre, Bordeaux, 
Lubeck and Copenhagen via Libau to Riga 
and vice versa. The new railway service 
was opened on the 13th of December at re¬ 
duced rates, and will bo continued during the 
Winter.
