Last Monday the various electoral colleges, 
consisting of the Presidential electors chosen 
on November 6, met at the capitals of their 
respective States, as provided in the United 
States Constitution, and cast their votes for 
President and Vice-President. Altogether 401 
votes were cast. Of these Harrison got 223 
and Cleveland 168—a majority of 65 for the 
former. As a matter of interesting record 
and condensation the fodowing table briefly 
shows the results of the recent election....

A bill has been introduced into the Lower 
House of Congress by Representative Funston 
authorizing the Commissioner of Agricul¬ 
ture to establish and maintain at some central 
point a station for experimenting in the man¬ 
ufacture of sugar from beets, sorghum or 
cane. The Commissioner is authorized to 
receive at such station for education in sugar¬ 
making processes students who will agree to 
continue in the busines three years after they 
leave the station. Each State will be entitled 
to send two students to such station, and the 
Territories and District of Columbia, one 
each. For the purposes set forth in the 
bill, $100,000 are appropriated, together with 
all unexpended balances of appropriations 
made for sugar experiments. 
The total number of murders committed" in the 
country, as reported to the Chicago Tribune,

Evidence. 
The best we can say of Compound Oxygen 
is not half so convincing as the report our 
patients give of it. 
While you may be ready to accept our 
statements still the words of others have 
more of the character of evidence. There is 
encouragement in the following:

ful remedy, and shall ever be grateful to you 
for it. Jas. B. Martin. 
Middletown, N. Y., January 25, 1888. 
“ I have used the Compound Oxygen now 
for about three years, and consider it the 
most efficient remedy ever offered to the 
sufferer. Rev.' Wm. McGlathery.

Saturday, January 19, 1889. 
The demand in the foreign quarters of Lon¬ 
don for roasts and fillets of horse-flesh, has 
assumed such proportions, that meat venders 
are obliged to maintain a constant supply of 
this equine product. In 1887 the 
United States exported bread stuffs to the 
value of $158,528,053; the exports for 1888, 
notwithstanding the shortage in European 
crops, were valued at only $112,615,376. 
Before the harvesting of the next crop it is 
probable there will be a revival of tbe export 
trade; but a reduction of nearly $36,000,000 in 
the value of bread-stuffs sold has made a seri¬ 
ous pull upon the trade balance . 
The Pennsylvania Agricultural Society, in 
session at Harrisburg, has elected John Mc¬ 
Dowell President; A. H. O’Brien, First Vice- 
President; D. W. Seiler, Secretary; John J. 
Nissley, Treasurer.—The shipment of 
corn from Baltimore to European ports was 
unusually large this season. On Saturday 
five steamships sailed with an aggregate of 
332,000 bushels. There are several other ves¬ 
sels in port loading, and others are expected 
there soon to take on cargoes for foreign 
ports. The greater portion of the grain goes 
to Ireland, although French ports and Ant-

The December report of the Department of 
Agriculture, which publishes in detail esti¬ 
mates of some of the more important crops, 
makes the product of corn 1,987,790,000 bush¬ 
els, grown on 75,672,763 acres, valued on the 
farm at $677,561,580, or 31.1 cents per bushel, 
against 44.4 for the crop of 1887. a decrease of 
23 per cent., the product of 1887 being 27 per 
cent, less, in volume, than that of 1888. The 
yield of the commercial belt, or seven 
corn surplus States, averages 33.2 bushels 
per acre. The Atlantic Coast, south of the 
Potomac, averages 11.2 bushels of compara¬ 
tively poor quality. 
The wheat aggregate is 414,868.000 bushels, 
grown on 36,339,138 acres, valued at $384,248,- 
030. Tbeaverageyieldistbereforell.il bush¬ 
els per acre: winter wheat 11.6 bushels, and 
spring wheat, 10.3 bushels per acre. The aver¬ 
age farm value is 92.6 cents per bushel, 
against 68.1 cent for the previous crop, a dif¬ 
ference due more to foreign than domestic 
scarcity. 
The aggregate for oats is 707,737,000 bush¬ 
els, grown on 26,998,282 acres, and valued at 
$195,424,240. This is 27.8 cents per bushel, 
against 30 cents for the crop of 1887 
A comparison of aggregate values shows 
that the present corn crop is worth $31,000,000 
more than the previous one; wheat $74,000,000 
more; oats $5,000 000 less. 
It will be noticed that in the above report 
Statistician Dodge says nothing about the 
deficiency in the weight of the wheat crop, 
leaving that presumably for his March re¬ 
port as usual. This shortage is variously 
estimated at from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 
bushels. In measured bushels, Professor 
Dodge’s latest estimate is about 8,000,000 
bushels more than the last previous estimate, 
which was 406,000,000 bushels. At Chicago the 
report was accepted on Monday and Tuesday 
as an exceedingly bearish document by the 
wheat speculative public, and the market was 
borne down by tremendous offerings. New 
York came in first with terrific selling orders. 
All the private wire houses and a great many 
firms that do not have private wires were 
heavy sellers. Local heavy-weights were 
quick to catch the drift, and among the 
number Ream figured as a tremendous seller 
early in the day and during the early stages 
of the break that followed the reception of the 
Government bulletin. 
The annual report of the tomato pack of 
the United States and Canada, as compiled by 
the American Grocer, indicates a second era 
of over production. Of tomatoes there were 
put up last season 3 319.437 cases of two dozen 
tins each, or a total of 79,666 488 cans, costing 
at points of production about $6,000,000 and 
reaching consumers at a total expense of 
$8,000,000. The acreage was largely increas¬ 
ed in all directions, but fortunately (as the 
result shows), tbe weather was unfavorable to 
the proper and full development of the crop; 
and yet, in spite of a cold and backward sea¬ 
son, heavy periods of rainfall in some States 
and long droughts in others, and early killing 
frosts in October, the pack turns out to be un¬ 
usually large, reaching a total of 3,319,437 
cases, against 2,817.048 cases in 1887. The 
canning industry has grown rapidly in the 
Western and Southern States, largely reduc¬ 
ing the demand upon Baltimore, Philadelphia 
and New York for such goods. In a few 
years each section of the country bids fair to 
supply its wants from home canneries. The 
leading points of production are Maryland 
and Virginia, credited with 1,118.733 cases; 
New Jersey. 789 363; Delaware, 227.030; New 
York, 197,432; Western States. 789,363; East¬ 
ern States, 43,360; Canada, 73,990.

Mr. Wallace Barnes , Box 604, Bristol Conn. 
Dear Sir:—Tbe beifer is in calf and will be 
due February 17th. She bad a calf when two 
years old, but for two years we have not been 
able to get her in calf until last spring; we 
gave her your medicine for three weeks before 
being served, and but one service proved 
sufficient. We have had her served bv dif¬ 
ferent bulls. We sent her away from our 
farm several miles to another farm and had 
her served there. We gave her prescriptions 
from good veterinary surgeons, and we used 
injections, trying at the same time to dilate 
the os uteri, but it was all in vain. We had 
determined to beef her, when your advertise¬ 
ment caught our eye, offering Harboriri at 
$3 a bottle. Yours truly, 
A. DEVERAUX & SON.
