Agricultural Items.

Heavy rains last week have injured
the wheat crop in Maryland.
AT Abscom and other places In At.
lantic county, N. j., for two or three
days past strawberries have been selling
at from two to five cents quart.
1t is estimated that there are over
100000 sheep and lambs sent from Maine
every year. There are in the town OF
Arson, this year, 1900; in New Port
land, $4,000; New Vineyard, 5000.
The Jackson (Miss) Clarion says
encouraging accounts of the growing
corn crop are received from all parts Of
that State. 1t was never more promis-
ing. Cotton has not been so carefully
attended to and does not promise as well.
Pears are entertained that the wheat
crop in Indiana may again prove fail
ure. In the Northern part of the State
the weevil has inflicted great damage
and In the Southern portion the rust is
spreading rapidly. In some localities
the grain will not be cut at all.
"A very cheering feature in this sea-
sons business in California is the enor-
nous yield of wool received from the
Southern counties. Tulare alone is set
down for 600 900 pounds, worth to the
producers net less than $4,000. Fresro,
Merced and StaDislaus are also hecoin-
ing large wool producers.
The statute under which agricultu-
raj college scrip was issued, restricts the
location of it to quantity not exceed
ing 100000 acres In any one State, the
law making no restriction with regard
to territories, and 1t is learned that the
number of acres located with this scrip
has been as follows In the four states
below mentioned; Missouri, l47 800
acres; Michigan, 982, 400 acres; Iowa,
1880 acres; Oregon, 800 acres. Tht
area actually located in Michigan ex-
ceeded l, 600 900 acres but i. has been
reduced as above by cancellation Of lille,
gal locations.

BROKE JAIL.-About half.past nine
Saturday evening four prisoners broke
out OF the Chittenden county Jail at
Burlington, by saving off with a notched
case knife four three. quarter inch iron
bars, ol the "feed hole," in the upper

piazza jumped down and escaped. Their
absence was not discovered until 10
o'clock the hour for locking up for the
night. Pursuit was at once made, and
unremittingly kept up all day Sunday

traced down to Rock Point, where they
stole boat with which they made their
way to Appletree Beach, where they ex-
changed their boat for large "dug-out"
