State Homeopathic Institute.
The sixth annual session Of the Minnesota
State Homeopathic Institute, was held at
Minneapolis on Tuesday and Wednesday OF
last week. Some thirty members were pres
cnt. A large number of papers we're read
| and reports submitted, upon which were in
| tcresting discussions. DIR. J. A. Steele Of
Minneapolis gave an interesting talk upon
the etiology and treatment Of Typhoid fever
| He attributed the extensive nature of the re-
| cent epidemic in that city to first, the long
continued rains of last fall and the conse
| quent miserable condition Of the streets:
second to the miles of sidewalk III that city
| laid flat upon the ground which easily rot
| and fill the air with decomposing vegetable
| matter; third, to bad sewerage and defec
| tive drainage especially the tight cesspools OF
many of our dwellings, fourth to bad waite,
| and some cases undoubtedly to contagion.
He attributed the great mortality Of eases
| under allorathic treatment to the extensive
| use ofquinine.

California Wheat in Minnesota.
Some of the Minneapolis millers, and a
mill i'll st. Paul have received some forty or
fifty carloads of wheat from California.
These purchases were made at about 81 81
per 100 pounds, or o. cents and a fraction
per bushcl in California, a commission being
| made to induce the trial. The rate of trans
portation was Ct cents per hundred, making

wheat, Minnesota grades. The lowest point
in the California market for
four months, about the 18th of
April, when the purchases were made by the
Minneapolis millerS The conditions which
led to such purchase in California without
loss, rarely occur~-lnay not again-and for
bids whatever hope is entertained that traf-
| fic III Pacific coast wheat can be established
for grinding purposes. Muc, doubt still OK
| list in the minds Of the millers upon the
quality of the California wheat. All reports
thus far gathered are unfavorable to it. The
berry is large and white tho wheat soft
which is the preponderating element of merit
in the Minnesota flour. The millcrs "are
afraid to tackle it," as one of them said, and,
therefore northwestern wheat raisers need
not fear California competition.

much finer piece Of ground for the expert
mental farm about three miles distant.
