method of exterminating the superabundan 
bunnies.A ranchman at Dayton, Nev. 
found one of his cows choking on a potato. 
He thrust his arm into her mouth and pushed 
the potato down her throat, but when he tried 
to withdraw his arm she set her teeth in it 
and kept them there until her jaws were pried 
apart with a crowbar. The arm was so badly 
crushed that it was necessary to amputate it. 
.Boston has just received 1,500 tons of 
potatoes in one consignment from Glasgow... 
.... .The makers of refined lard in the 
United States used, in 1887, 50,000.000 pounds 
of cotton-seed oil. A California bee¬ 
keeper is said to be growing rich by selling 
honey made from horehound blossoms for 
medicinal purposes.In the last three 
years Russia has exported 204,640,000 bushels 
of wheat. The United States during the 
same period exported 377,308.000 bushels. 
... From all accounts the largest area ever 
known will be put in oats this year “out 
West.” Early sown wheat there is reported 
as doing well; while later sown is poor and 
sickly. Dakota and Minnesota having raised 
a fair corn crop last year, are going into corn 
much more heavily this . 
-Mr. Thompson has introduced a bill in the 
N. Y. Legislature fixing a bounty of two cents 
per head for English sparrows, and Mr. Hus- 
ted one requiring veterinary surgeons to reg¬ 
ister in the County Clerk’s office before Jan. 
1, 1^89 .During the last three months 
of 1887, the imports of potatoes from Great 
Britain reached 152,000 sacks of 160 pounds 
each . . ..The Dakota Farmers’ Alliance 
aims to establish a system of elevators from 
Dakota to the seaboard, so that their wheat 
may be handled by agents of the farmers. It 
is estimated that the scheme will secure 18 
cents more per bushel to the farmers. 
.... Sharpers are swindling Indiana farmers 
by peddling lightning-rods that will protect 
against cyclonesll!.For the four 
months from November to February inclusive, 
known as the winter packing season, the total 
number of hogs received in Chicago was 
2,348,858, and the average weight was about 
230}^ pounds. For the corresponding period 
a year ago the arrivals were larger by about 
270,000 hogs, and the average weight was 235 
pounds. .... The Postmaster-General denies 
that American seedsmen are discriminated 
against by the new parcel post convention 
with Canada. He says that the uniform rate 
of one cent for four ounces prevails both in 
Canada and the United States_ Dr. Law 
says pleuro-pneumonia among cattle in all the 
the five infected counties of New York is 
now under control. Long Island seems to be 
the worst affected part now, particularly the 
outskirts of Brooklyn, where at present there 
are between one and two dozen herds waiting 
to be killed. Professor Law has little faith in 
inoculation, despite the strong claims of its 
advocates. He is confident that under the sys¬ 
tem now in operation the disease will be over 
here within a few months.... Springfield, 
Mas3., has subscribed the $10,000 guarantee 
fund needed to secure the holding of the next 
Bay State Fair tnere.The General Gov • 
ernment has decided that all of Massachusetts’ 
share in the Hatch fund must go to the State 
college .Professor C. H. Pettee 
has been chosen Dean of the Faculty of the New 
Hampshire Agricultural College.At a 
meeting of the milk producers of New Eng¬ 
land it was voted to advance the price of milk 
during the summer two cents per can . 
... .The House Committee on Agriculture is 
securing a great number of petitions, memor¬ 
ials and resolutions praying for the passage of 
the pending bill to protect the manufacture 
and sale of pure lard. It has also received a 
number of letters from commission merchants 
in London,Antwerp, Hamburg, Liverpool and 
Glasgow, testifying to the injurious effects 
which result to the sale of pure American lard 
abroad by the exportation from the United 
States of compound lard.At New Or¬ 
leans a successful exhibition has been given 
of a new machine for cleaning cotton seed. 
Experts are of the opinion that it will revolu¬ 
tionize the present system.A farmers’ 
institute, under the auspices of the State 
Agricultural Society, will be held at Chat¬ 
ham, N. Y., March 20 and 21.. 
. .The Sugar Trusi has a capital of $45,000,000; 
but Claus Spreekels, the California and Sand- 
which Islands Sugar King, is resolved to fight 
it to the “bitter end,” and has come East to 
select the best site for one or more sugar re¬ 
fineries to start with. He has visited Phila¬ 
delphia and is now in this city, and will in¬ 
spect other places and select the place which 
offers the best inducements. He says: “It is 
a fact that I mean to build a refinery in the 
East capable of manufacturing 4,000 to 8,000 
barrels of refined sugar daily. The refinery 
will be located either in New York, Philadel¬ 
phia or Baltimore. I am here on the chal¬ 
lenge of the 8ugar Trust and will accept the 
gauge of battle on their own demands. They 
opened the contest against me and began a 
war of extermination, because I would not 
join the Trust. They took my antagonist, 
the American Sugar Refining Company of 
San Francisco, into their Trust, and now claim 
that they have taken from me the bulk of the 
Sandwich islands product. I am a planter my¬ 
self in the Islands, and raise now 40,000 tons 
of sugar there and my crop is increasing every 
year. But I shall not depend on the Sandwich 
Islands for sugar. I shall bring it from Cuba, 
Manilla, and everywhere else in the world 
where it is raised and for sale. Besides, 1 have 
great confidence in the raising of beet sugar. 
Machinery worth $200,000 for my beet sugar 
works in California, which has been made in 
Germany in accordance with my plans and 
directions, is now on the way and we will have 
it set up and begin operation in a few weeks. 
I can make and sell sugar as cheaply as it can 
be made and sold in this country, and I intend 
to keep up the contest until the Trust is dis¬ 
solved into its original elements.”
