Forest fires.

The idea that the best way to pre-
vent forest fires is to burn all trash
and small timber growth annually
seems to gain popularity. One who
is well posted in forestry matters
says:-"If the underground is kept
down and dead matters not allowed
to accumulate, there will be no fire
to hurt the live trees. We know of
a piece of woods that is burned under
every year by sparks from the Read
ing Railroad locomotives, but the
standing timber has never been In
jured. 1t will not cost thousanth
part as much to clear out all the
brushwood in the United States as
we lose in one year By the forest fires
and the true way to preserve our for
est start from here. AT any rate, the
idea removes the great objection to
forest planting-that it may get
burned. If rank vegetation is kept
down for a few years during the
growth of the forest it will, by its
own shade, keep down the growth
hereafter.

and sader still were his tenants and
neighbors to see him go. Crowds
greeted him at every station on the
way to Atlanta. Passing Madison

Atlanta is described as one of the
most imposing demonstrations ever
known in that city.

The age of Seeds.

Some twenty years ago a few
grains of wheat were found in the
tombs of some ancient mummies in
the south of France, supposed to
have been fully 1000 years old. 1t,
is said that this wheat was planted
and Produced the astonishing yield
of 1900 grains to one, and the French
government assumed charge of the
matter, and when the product had in
creased sufficiently, this new wheat
was distributed throughout the en-
pire. The result, according to official
reports, showed an immense increase
over the yield of the ordinary varie-
ties. AS natural result quite a
craze ensued in regard to sowing old
seeds of other plants. The excite
ment reached the United States, and
some agriculturists commenced saw
ing melon, beet, corn and other seeds
until they became four, six and eight
years old, and upwards. The theory
was that rest of years, instead of
months, gave the seeds unusual vital
/ ity and more prolific powers of repro
cdution. Many Of the experiments
proved utter failures, and no remark.
able degree of success seemed to at
tend on any. Much surprise was ex-
pressed in some quarters at such re-
suits, especially as the reports of the
unusual productiveness of the mummy
wheat appeared to be genuine. Those
who had carefully noted the progress
of the matter, referred the wheat sue.
cess to the fact that each package Of
wheat sent out by the French gov
ernment contained detailed instruc-
tions in regard to the best mode Of
cultivation. which all recipients were
enjoined to pursue faithfully.
1t may reasonably be doubted
whether any wheat from the case o.
a mummy ever sprouted at all; but
the lesson iii improved agriculture
was sent abroad all the same, ano
performed its work remarkably well
If the wheat cultivators of California
would take more pains to procure
good seed, and cultivate their field'
| and harvest their crops with dut
care, there would be no need tha
| they should look to the catacof11bs o
Egypt for seed with which to secure
marked increase in the yield o
their fields.

Cattle Shippers Scared

The rapid growth in the dressed
beef trade between Chicago and sea-
board cities promises revolution in
the cattle shipping business. The
refrigerator cars are at last receiving
that recognition that they have been
fighting for, for the past ten years,
and in the future they must proyea
most important factor in the matter
of live stock transportation. The
prejudice against western dressed
beef has greatly died out at the East
the past year, and its consumption
has increased two or three fold. Chi
cago slaughterers have invaded to
Baltimore, Washington and New
York markets, and are selling dress
ed beef in those cities to such an ex4-
tent as to greatly alarm local butch
ers. At d recent meeting of Baltic
more butchers, resolutions we're pass
ed denouncing this unequal compet-
ition, but they proved utterly impo-
tent. Shipments of western dressed
beef to their city continue as
| large as ever. and the rapidity with
| which it is sold indicates its growing
| popularity among consumers. In
New York this trade has increased to
such an extent as to seriously effect
| the live cattle, market there. Train
loads of dressed beet are received
daily and find ready sale to shop
keepers, who are underselling local
butchers to such an extent as to
make their business losing one.
To make this competition, a
butcher in Washington market CLAIM
ed that they were forced to sacrifice
$40 on every carcass. 1t is an un--
equal fight, they claim, and they are
Justly fearful Of the fntufe. The
business of supplying eastern cities
with dressed beefis yet in its infancy
aud there is every evidence of Its
steady and rapid growth. Shippers
OF live cattle east and the butchers
there are alarmed alike at the form
lidableness of this new departure, and
there are those in trade who prophe-
sy revolution in the cattle shipping
business east.

Divorce in New England.
(Stateman).

Of the frequency of divorce in New
England, the Interior says that cit
probably comes of an over supply of
literary culture and an under-supply
Of domesticity-they are too literary
and too stingy. There is not enough
variety among them-too much
sameness of novels In the library and
of boiled beans in the kitchen. 1t is
not human nature to stand so much
of George Eliot along with so little
to eat. Who ever heard of man
getting divorce from Pennsylvan
ia girl-one who knows the mystery
of fried chicken and waffles? or
from an Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana
girl, who understands the true in
wardness of hot Thread and fresh

United States Meat Production.

1OCal oO,ZoVUV o,oio,ooosoVo
For several years past the expor-
tation has been bout one-fourth Of
the pork products and nearly one
twelfth of the beef. A small amount
of mutton is exported, and little else.
About one-sixth of the domestic
meat products are exported.
In the above, poultry, game and
fish are not considered. The average
supply, upon the above estimate, is
$50 pounds per capita, against lo1
for Great Britain and fifty-one for
France. Most of the consumption of
meats in France is in Paris and the
towns. The average annual con-
sumption of family in the country
there would barely supply for a
month family in the United States.
