THE Chicago distillers, at a meeting held

fact that Ohio distillers are able to undersell

Raum, a letter setting forth their grievances,
urging investigation into this condition of
affairs, insisting that the only explanation
of the ability of the Cincinnati distillers to
put highwines on the market at lower rates
than the Chicago distillers can, is that they,
the Cincinnatians, do not pay full tax They
say if the tax was abrogated, there would
not be a single disttllery running in Ohio,

The Barley GfOD.

The circular of r. II. Lawder, of Whitby,
Ont, under date of August /, contains the
following:
The largest source of supply is from the
Northwestern States OF Iowa, Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Nebraska, and the
territories farther west. Circulars and let.
tiers indicate deficiency in acreage of from
40 to 90 per cent. Two weeks ago the pros
poets for the growing crop were brilliant,
but the Intense heat and heavy rains during
the past fortnight have so shriveled and dis
colored the grain that the crop there is now
reported as practically failure, with very
little barley likely to grade as high as No. 2.
As regards the crop in Canada, dealers
generally agree that the acreage in 1873 is
from thirty to forty per cent. less than in
1877. About the middle of July, reports as
to the probable yield and quality were un-
usually favorable; the yield was expected
to prove 10 bushels per acre over that of
1877, with fine, plump berry and bright
color. But during the last two weeks the
same causes which injured the crop in the
northwest have operated disastrously in
Canada, and Il IS now thought that the yield
will be five bushels per acre less than last
year; berry thin, and light in weight per
bushel, and TIE greater part of the crop bad
ly stained, and large portion of it of small
value for mailing purposes.
In New York state the barley crop of 1877
was of unusually large acreage, yielded
abundantly, and the quality was very good.
1t is generally conceded that last years crop
was the largest and best ever produced in
that state. This year the acreage is reported
from one-fourth to one-third less than last
year, and the crop has suffered much injury
from the same causes as in the northwest
and Canada.

Terri bic Fxnerience.

Daniel 5. Whetherbee, an old man
living in Milford, Mass, was missed on
the ID of July and not found until the
9th. When found he was lying on the
ground, partly across a log, trying to
get drink of water out of hole he had
scooped in the mud, using the leaves of
pitcher plant to drink from. About
twenty-five feet from his drinking place
he had constructed a rude shelter of
sticks, moss and twigs, just large enough
to crouch down in. Here, almost dead
with hunger yet with all his reason left
him, he had made himself home, crawl
ing to the mud hole for water and sue
ceedlng in catching frog or two, eating
them raw with roots and checkerberries.
He was within fifty rods of travelled road
and within twenty-five rods of cult
waited field, yet SO faint that he knew not
the direction of any human being,
though house was within half a mile
For twenty days he had no fire, and he
was starving to death when found. He
was cared tor by the Selectmen.

start in. / have grown good crop by
burning off wheat stubble, and cultivat-
ing and narrowing the surface until mel
low, and prefer this to ploughihg the
land. l have never tried superphosphate
or bone dust for turnips, but / should
think that these manures would be ex-
actly suited to the crop, and ] expect to
try them this year. In pulverizing land
for tlirnips and TIC cover the seed, there
is nothing so good as a plank drag: 1T
grinds up the clods and leaves mellow
surface, and in covering the seed 1t
presses the earth on it 50 as to terminate
readily. 1t requires great care to SOW
turnip seed just right; nearly every one
puts it on to thick. Some mix with
ashes or dust, but can SOW better clear:
| use only the thumb and forefinger, and
SOW about six feet wide, a cast to every
other step. The best time to sow is the
first ten days in August, but if have
large crop to SOW | begin as early as the
middle of July; these early-sown turn
fps, however, are not so sweet and nice
for the table as the later crop. There Is
one rule of the utmost Importance in
sowing turnips, and | attribute my sue
cess to its Observance more than to all
other causes, and that is, always SOW as
soon after a rain as the ground can be
worked. From long experience L am
sure that there are more failures IN
turnip growing from the almost universal
practice of sowing just before ram than
from all other causes combined. On
sandy soils this may be different, as all
my experience has been on a clay SOIL
