The Wheat Crop.

Washington, October 24.-The agricul-
tural report says returns have been re-
ceived from counties representing large
proportion of the wheat of each State,
which indicate an increase of about five
per cent. over the product of last year,
which was estimated at 100000, 900 BUSH
els. 1t is probable that the computed es-
innate will not fall short of 240 ,OOO, 900
bushels upon on area of little less than
2O,O00,00 acres. This will make the
yield between twelve and thirteen bushels
per acre, which may be considered an av-
erage for the United States. The increase
in the States west Of the Mississippi appear
to be about 5000, 900 bushels.
The report states that the per centage of
the product, in comparison with last year,
in each of the States is as follows: Mary
land, Go; Virginia, 10l; North Carolina,
1876; South Carolina, 1903; Georgia, 1870
Alabama, 1873; Mississippi, 1O1; Texas,
$40; Arkansas, 1902; Tennessee, 200
West Virginia, 104; Kentucky, l75.

The Horse Alalady.

Ne,o York, October %. - The weather
this morning was very damp and foggy.
The horse disease has now spread to every
stable in this city. Symptoms of the con.
tagion are now visible on almost every
horse on the streets. The stage and street.
car lines are continuing to lessen their trips.
at about eight o'clock last evening there
was not Broadway stage between the
Battery, and City Hall. This morning that
thoroughiare seemed to be almost without
vehicles.
Altogether it is calculated that about
$4,000 horses are now affected. The ami
mails attacked the day before yesterday ex--
hlbit the worst features, and it seems evil
cent that, dating the cases from Monday or
Sunday, the crisis can yet hardly be said to
have arrived. The continued working of
affected horses is beginning to tell in the
rapid increase of the dangerous cases. Not
many deaths have been reported as yet,
but it is known that deaths are occurring.
rs the opinion of veterinary surgeons
that the distemper may not prove fatal, but
that the horses will suffer for some time
from weakness. The Sanitary Committee
reported to the Board of Health yesterday
that the disease, though general, is not fatal
or contagious. The course of the disease
seems to be, say: Friday, the animal
appears sick, Saturday, worse, Sunday,
the malady has attained its climax Mon
day, the horse improves; Tuesday, he is
almost fit for work.
The effect on business, it is noticed, has
been very severely felt, and it has already
caused drayage and carriage, in some in
stances, to rise to war prices.

A Butter Tree.

Tallow trees, milk trees, pitcher trees,
and bread fruit trees are found in various
parts Of the world. They are no longer
wonders. But new discovery in part
of Africa not frequently visited by travel
lers has been announced thatquite eclipses
anything in the tree line. 1t is tree
yielding butter, but not such as they sell
in Washington Market. 1t belongs to q
natural order sapotacea
According to NJ. Chevaul the product
consists of small proportion OF aromatic
principle, oleine and stearine, very much
like mutton talow. At go Fair. it is
liquid, becoming turbid at 1C0, with
globules floating through tie mass. It's
a poor substitute for butter, yet there is
an approximation go that an amateur
would pronounce it strong-the regular
boarding house article. Salt improves,
but under no aystem of treatment cen it
be introduced to take the place Of taat
churned from milk. When heated slight
ly the new product it easily converted in
to soap with a solution of potash or soda,
and thus becomes inodorous. Probably
this new article may have some future
commercial value in the manufacture of
saponaceous compounds and mixing with
ordinary butter on the principle of put
ting sand in sugar.

"Marle Aun went to the front door,
last evening, to see if the paper had come.
She had been delivering a short address
to me concerning what she is pleased to

remarked, Il like to see a body move
quick, prompt, emphatic, that was all !;
but [ heard some one humping down the
steps in a most prompt and emphatic
manner, and | reached the door just in
time to see my better half sliding across

gested, as she limped back to the door,
that there might be such thing as too

"Right in front of me- on the slippery

for this climate, and as l passed by she
was trying to lift him up.
"Two lawyers coming from the court

acres of timber land in Pike county, of
Hon. John Shouse, paying the handsome
sum of 100000 for it. Subsequently he
disposed of half of it to Mr.. Collingwood,
of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and the two
went into the lumber business at the mills
at Wilsonville, three miles above Hawley
They run three circular saws, and their
capacity is 10000 feet day. There are
at present at the mills 100000 feet of
logs, and the firm expects to ship 2,000,-
600 feet of sawed stuff this Spring Their
lumber is shipped entirely by rail and
canal, for Newburgh and Poughkeepsie.
Joseph Atkinson, of Paupack, is doing
a lively business at his mills at that place.
His lumber is mostly taken by the Della
