abundantly on the report for ammunition 
during election time.The Govern¬ 
ment’s new Land Purchase Bill will pro¬ 
vide $100,000,000 or over for the purchase of 
the landlords’ interest in Irish estates 
which will be divided among peasant pro¬ 
prietors to be paid for by the installment 
plan. It will combine the Landed Estates 
Court and the Land Commission into a sin¬ 
gle great tribunal for the settlement of all 
land disputes, and will simplify and cheap¬ 
en the transfer of land. 
Count Julius Amlrassy, the well-known 
Hungarian statesman, died last Tuesday, 
at the age of 07.Mr. Joseph Gillis 
Biggar, Member of Parliament for the west 
division of County Cavan, father of ob¬ 
struction in Parliament, and the most 
dogged of the Home Rulers, died suddenly 
at Clapham, a Surry suburb of London, 
last Wednesday, at the age of 60. 
At the recent fair of the Illinois Dairy¬ 
men’s Association held at Belvidere, four 
packages of butter salted with Kellogg’s 
Royal Salt, (Office and factory, 384 West 
11th Street, New York City) were awarded 
prizes under the following conditions: 
“ Butter made anywhere, by any process 
or system, previous to January 1st, 1890.” 
This salt will positively prevent butter 
from becoming rancid and cause it to hold 
its flavor and aroma for many months, 
although exposed to atmospheric changes. 
This certainly speaks loud praises for the 
Kellogg’s Royal Salt.— Adv.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
SATURDAY, February 22, 1890. 
California raisins of the new crop are 
beginning to arrive.The price of 
hops has reached a very satisfactory figure, 
but it is to be regretted that this advance 
has gone largely into the pockets of dealers 
instead of those of growers. Unless the 
foreign demand increases, there is no prob¬ 
ability of much higher prices.Chi¬ 
cago dressed beef has a new competitor in 
the Canadian markets, Manitoba having 
begun shipping to the Eastern cities in the 
dominion. As beef can be sent from there, 
at as low. if not a lower figure than from 
the United States, this may materially cur¬ 
tail shipments from this countrv. Phil 
Armour says that he does not fear this com¬ 
petition, as this beef is range-fed, while Ca¬ 
nadians want corn-fed. We might send 
them the corn. 
The annual meeting of the Dutch Belted 
Cattle Association was held in this city, 
February 13. Several new members were 
admittea. A committee was appointed 
to represent the interests of the associa¬ 
tion at the World’s Fair. Hon. Nat. W. 
Howell, Washingtonville, N. J.. was elect¬ 
ed president, and H. B. Richards, Easton, 
Pa., secretary. 
There were some large crops of potatoes 
grown with the Mapes Potato Manure the 
past season, the following being some of 
the largest yields upon single acres: Mr. 
Alfred Rose of Penn Yan, N. Y., grew 669 
bushels and 361 bushels from a second 
planting between the rows, making a total 
of 1,030 bushels on a single acre in a single 
season. J. H. Hitchcock, Weaver Minn., 
had a yield of 532 bushels; J. M. Ogle, 
Slaughter, Washington, 460 bushels; 
William C. Cusick, Union, Oregon, 428 
bushels: A. S. Wells & Son, Granby, 
Conn., 340 bushels; Frank Marvin, Mata- 
moras, Penn., 328 bushels; E. A. Trout, 
Croton, Ohio, 324 bushels: T. M. Godiug, 
Ayer, Mass., 280 bushels; G. W, Whitney, 
Williston, Vt., 270 bushels.
