health, and that the questions whether the 
manufacture of oleomargarine is conducted 
so as to involve such danger to the public 
health as to require the suppression of the 
business rather than its regulation, are ques¬ 
tions of public policy, which belong to the 
legislative department to determine. 
.... About 25 ships loaded with wheat are now 
lying in San Francisco Bay unable to receive 
crews because the rapid growth of the coast¬ 
ing trade has absorbed all the sailors. 
It is expected that Cornell’s experiment sta¬ 
tion will soon be in successful operation. Be¬ 
sides the “Hatch fund,” the institution will 
spend an annual appropriation of $10,000. 
... Said to have been very cold at Staunton, 
Va., Thursday night and ice formed half an 
inch thick. The peach buds are greatly dam¬ 
aged .Foreign potatoes are still rush¬ 
ing into this city. During a recent week 72,384 
barrels were delivered here against 23,985 for 
the corresponding time last year. Seed pota¬ 
toes are very high—too high. The dealers 
seem to have underestimated the stock in the 
country.Mr. Gilbert, ex-cattle 
commissioner of Maine, says that in all cases 
so far as known, where hog cholera has ap¬ 
peared in that State, it has been where the 
animals have been fed on city swill, or on 
wastes from sources where VV estern hogs have 
been cut up and used, or it could be traced di¬ 
rectly to pens w'here such food had been used. 
... By to-day’s telegrams we learn that 
recent rains have greatly improved the agri¬ 
cultural prospect in California, and the 
largest yield of grain and fruit in the history 
of the State is expected. Chicago citi¬ 
zens have raised $100,000 to build an addition 
of 150 feet to the exposition building, for the 
annual live stock exhibition, in connection 
with the fat stock show.Horses are 
plenty in the Chicago market and are selling 
freely. Streeters sell at $125 to $135 per 
head; draft horses at $190 to $225; extra 
draft horses at $225 to $250; drivers at $125 
to $300; coupe horses at $250 to $350, and car¬ 
riage horses at $450 to $1,200 per pair. 
“ Nature’s Sweet Restorer.” 
Thrice happy is he who can full into sweet 
refreshing sleep nearly as soon as his weary 
head rests upon the pillow, to slumber on till 
rosy morn arouses him to conscious duty, just 
as the sweet babe, weary from constant pat¬ 
tering of its little feet, has closed its silken 
lashes and floated to the land of dreams, while 
its cherub form lay cradled in its mother’s arms. 
Not so the tortured sufferer, languishing 
from exausted nerves and feverish disease. 
To him the bed seems as though it were filled 
with nettles instead of feathers. He finds no 
sleep either on right side or on left; the bed is 
uncomfortable, the clothes too heavy, the air 
stifliDg, and the pillow too low or too high. 
Sleep, he declares, has gone to the dogs and 
he wishes the bed had, too. 
A mother in Eastland, Texas, in June, 1886, 
wrote of the benefits of the Compound Oxygen 
which she had received from Drs. Starkey & 
Palen. 
“It is doing a great deal for me, too (in re¬ 
lief from kidney disease and neuralgia),though 
more slowly. I am able to resume my place 
as organist in church without being made so 
very nervous, as I have been, and am getting 
some good sleep every night.” 
A farmer, writing from Bareville, Pennsyl¬ 
vania, February 1, 1886, stated his case as 
follows; 
“Age 37. Rheumatism. A year ago pain 
commenced in hollow of foot; very severe in 
Southern fruit and vegetable shippers com¬ 
plain of a late, backward spring, retarding 
the growth of the early fruits and vegetables, 
being from two to three weeks later than 
usual. 
Colman’s Rural World estimates that on the 
whole the strawberry crop within reach of St. 
Louis is the smallest in 10 years, while the de¬ 
mand—growing each year rapidly, is larger 
than ever. The prices will in consequence be 
the highest paid in many years, and will no 
doubt lead to extensive planting next year. 
According to Bradstreet’s, marked inactiv 
ity continues in all the wool markets. The 
complaints of dull trade and weak values are 
even more pronounced than at any previous 
time this year. With the exception of me¬ 
dium wools prices are everywhere in buyers’ 
favor, and the demand for these descriptions 
is not so good as it has been. The manufac¬ 
turers are buying only moderately for present 
requirements. With the near approach of 
clip time naturally enough they are not stock¬ 
ing up for the future. The general state of 
the goods market is unsatisfactory and tends 
to inspire caution in buying supplies. Shear¬ 
ing is under way in Texas, and the condition 
of the clip is reported as unusually excellent. 
The weather in Montana has been favorable 
for a good growth of clean wool. 
The Washington Department of Agricul¬ 
ture, in its April report on winter wheat, 
states that the seeding season in some of the 
Southern States was three months long. 
When winter came the wheat fields were un¬ 
even, though the wheat plant was rooted. 
The sections affected by the summer drought 
there were slow in seed germination, in soils 
not well pulverized causing thin stands. The 
appearance was deceptive, the improvement 
slight; later rains improved the prospect. In 
the South the growth was generally good. 
In the Middle States the seeding season was 
fairly favorable, though in sections the soil 
was dry. In California, with few exceptions, 
there was a favorable season for seeding and 
germination. In Oregon the drought delayed 
the growth of the wheat plant. In the North¬ 
ern belt only partial snow protection. The 
variable March temperature injured the wheat 
plant in the central States of the West, and 
there is some winter-killing as far South as 
Texas. On the Atlantic coast there was little 
winter injury. South of Maryland the tem¬ 
perature was generally favorable. The first 
appearance of the winter-wheat crop is quite 
unfavorable. The late-sown has but little 
growth. Favorable spring weather might 
make material improvements. 
Eggs in this market are scarce and high- 
priced, the cool weather having interrupted 
laying. Bad roads on Long Island prevent 
farmers from bringing in fresh eggs in the 
usual quantity. Long Island stock costs 25c. 
a doz., retail. State, Western and Southern 
eggs, sell at 23c. a doz. Long Island duck eggs 
costs 30c. a doz., and those from Maryland 
are 25c. Goose eggs are sold four for 25c. 
There is a large quantity of asparagus on 
vegetable stalls here and it is of many qualites, 
some of it is sold for 20c a bunch, It is, of 
course“slender grass,” but if eaten the first day 
of its arrival here it is fairly good. The finest 
asparagus is now arriving from Mount 
Pleasant, South Carolina, It has tender green 
stalks and is of different sizes, the colossal cost¬ 
ing 75c. and that smaller 40c. a bunch. New 
celery from Charleston is excellent quality, 
and looks crisp and refreshing in comparison 
with old Long island stock.

and diseases of the Bronchial Tubes, no better 
remedy can be found than “ Brown's Bron¬

March 22 he submitted the following report: 
“I have been taking the Compound Oxygen 
for rheumatism, and I have had good comfort¬ 
able sleep for six weeks, which 1 had not had 
for six months previous to taking the Com¬ 
pound Oxygen. 1 also have a good appetite, 
which is worth more than I paid for the Com¬ 
pound Oxygen.” 
A lady writes from Macon, Ill., May 3,1886: 
“Please to send your treatise to address 
below, as I think he will get a supply as soon 
as he knows what it will do. I feel like a new 
woman now; such sweet sleep I have not had 
for years.” 
From Wilbraham, Mass., we have this re¬ 
port: 
“My ability to sleep is quite satisfactory, i. 
e., it has wonderfully increased. Mother 
thinks she has slept better since taking Com¬ 
pound Oxygen than she has in the same length 
of time in twenty years.”

The Cincinnati Price Current report of the 
pork packing of the country is just published. 
The winter packing in the West was 5,921,181 
hogs, a decrease of 517,828 compared with last 
year; average live weight of hogs decreased 
9.01 pounds; lard yield decreased 2.48 pounds; 
cost of live hogs increased 85 cents per 100 
pounds; cost of produce increased $1.25 per 
100 pounds. At last year’s average weight 
he decrease in packing equals 730,000 hogs.
