NOTWITHSTANDING the fact is generally known that eating raw meat, particularly pork, is injurious; cases yet occur occa- slonally of persons injured by the prac- lice. There have recently been several cases of trichinosis in Chicago, and these will serve 10 cause q great many foolish arguments against eating pork. Itis the positive damage to the l.ork interests that the people who persist in ignoring all advice not to eat raw meat, and be- come afflicted with trichinosis, cause, that is the most lamcntable feature of The matter. It has been stated in almost every paper in the land, that occasionally hog is infested with trichinm, and it has been proved, sadly to a few, that tuchine can be transferred alive to the human body by eating of the infested raw pork.

IN France, where the growing of beets for sugar is carried on on large scale, it has been found that beets which have been forced to large size by strong manure are not the best for sugar-mak- ing There is too much foreign matter in them to make such system of culti- yation desirable. They do best on heavily manured land which has borne a crop since, bringing the beets in as the second rotation. Those who grow beeta for market want the largest size, as sell ing the best, but the sugar man must un- derstand that he will not always gain by having large beets.

A PROMINENT miller in Minneapolis states that the mills of that city will grind l6,000,000 to 1S,000,000 bushels of wheat during the cereal year, and the Minnesota mills outside ofthat city will grind as much more. Whereupon the Chicago Times remarks: "As this is not far from equal to the product of the State, after deducting seed, there should be little wheat left to come to Chicago or Milwaukee It seems, however, that the millers there are drawing upon Dakota for good wheat, and leaving the poorest sort of Minnesota growth to find mar ket elsewhere. The mills of Minnesota are running to their utmost capacity to fill export orders for flour; these orders are now sent direct from Europe. This shows that the surplus wheat Of the Northwest is beginning, to greater ex- tent, to seek the oonsumptive channel through the grlst mills rather than through shipments unground. The ex- ports of unground cereals is less than last year, although that of ground exhibit an increase.p

FARMER JOHN,

AT ia nothing to do" said Farmer John,
$40 fret or tO bother ne
We're | but rid Of this mountain Of work,
What u good man could be
The pigs get out, and the COWS get In,
Where they have no right to be-:
And the weeds In the garden and the corn
Why, they fairly frighten me.
1t worries ,ne out of temper quite,
And we'll nigh out of my head.
What cur. . It Is that man must toll
Like this for his daily bread
But Farmer John he broke his leg,
And was Kept for many weak,
Helpless ard an idle man
Was he therefore mild and meek.
Nay; what with the pnin, and what with
the fret
Ofsttting with nothing to do
And the teamwork botched by shiftlsss
He got very cross and blue.
He scolded tho children and cufted the dog
That fnwned about his knee;
And snnrled at his wife, tn ugh she was kind
And patient rs wife could be.
He grumbled, and whined, and fretted, and
fumed,
The whole of the day through
''Twill ruin me quite, cri& d farmer John
10 sit here with nothing to do"
His hunt got we'll, and he went to work,
And q buster man than he
A hay bier man, Or a pleasanter man,
You NO, er would wish to see.
Tho pigs got out and he drove them back,
WListrng right merrily;
He mendcd the fence, and kept the cows
Just where they ought to te.
Wedding the garden with jolly fun,
And ditto hoeing the corn.
'l'm happier far SAID Farmer John,
"Ihau I've been since was born"
He learned lesson that lasts him we'll
Twill last him his whole life through,
IL frels but seldom, and never because
He has plenty Of work to do.
y tell you what, says Farmer John.
