ALREADY the United States are beginning
to feel that impetus of Mexican trade that
will, in few years, become an immense
commerce. In 1875 we imported from
Mexico products to the amount of S5,149, 57S,
and exported to them "a .7o6, IT'S; during the
year ending June, 1880, the import was
$7,2o9, 5s3, export s6,o65,s74 III 1881, i'm
port $685., s02, export sl1,l71,23s. When
the railroads that now extend only sixty
miles into Mexico stretch from border to
border and from sea to sea, and a reciprocal
treaty has banished hindrances to trade,
commerce will make an Unreasonable bound
and how greatly in our favor the 1881 re.
turns make manifest.

Arrival of Jewish Refugees from Rus.

PHILADELPHIA, February 23.-The steam

Jewish emigrants on board. The refugees
number three hundred and twenty-fve-men,
women and children-and were received down
the river by members of the committees
Although the party yet show traces of recent
suffering there was but one death on the yoy-
age, child aged three years. When the
steamer reached the dock and the emigrants
and baggage had been examined, the cars of
the Pennsylvania road were backed down
close to the vessel and the entire party were
taken to the old Pennsylvania railroad depot
where they ad supper and were provided with
change OF clothing. The depot is provided
with eating, sleeping and bathing rooms and
hospital. The refugees are in charge of J.
r. Littman, of Kannitz, Poland, who was
driven from his home two months ago. They
come mainly from Koaf, Odessa and War
saw. Most of them are tradesmen, and a
few are farmers. They say that when the
riots occurred at Warsaw some of them were
driven out of the city at the point of the
bayonet and forced to fly with their wives
and children. They were without money
and without friends, but contrived to get be-
yond the borders of Russia, being aided in

There is no grain that deteriorates
90 fast under ordinary cultivation,
particularly in the dry climate Of .
considerable portion Of the Unit 4
States, as oats. They require cool
and moist climate. They grow well
in the British Isles and the northern
part of Europe, and give yields there
which are almost unheard of here.
In the Canadian provinces and
the extreme northern part of the
United States the deterioration is less
rapid, butincreases toward the south
where it is difficult to raise them
with any profit.
1t is always noticed that heavy
oats, weighing, perhaps, forty-five
pounds per measured bushel, inn
ported or brought from the north,
will in a year or two begin to de-
crease in weight until they finally
become 10 heavier than the common
oats. Very much depends on the
season, the soil and cultivation; but
the decadence will surely take place.
The only apparent remedy is to fire.
quently import seed from those re-
gions where they more nearly reach
perfection. Where this has been
done once in three or four years the
result has been satisfactory. Oats
that weigh the heaviest per bushel
are not always the most desirable
because they shell much easier when
harvesting and usually do not stand
up well, which is a serious fault.
The points for oats are: weight of
grain, stiffness of straw, earliness and
of course yield in bushels.-Detrest

How to Set a Hen.

There is right as well as wrong
way to set hen to secure a good
hatch" Poor Matching may be due,
in some cases, to the infertility of
the eggs, yet most of it is due Ell; her
to restless hen or to her not having
been properly set. If the eggs be-
come too dry, which they are apt to
do in early spring, when high winds
prevail, or if set high upin a nesting
box and the nest made of dry, alb
sorbant material, the chicks will be
found daad in the shell, even though
they are about ready to hatch. The
skin which surrounds the chicks be-
comes dry and parchment-like, end
clings fast to the little prisoners. We
prefer no-bottom box for nesting
box, set right on the ground floor of
the hen house, and a medium-sized
nest, made of well-broken and fresh
rye straw. Where there is danger
from rats, weasels, dogs, ETC., neces-
sitating more secure nests, the pro-
per amount of moisture can be Sc
cured for the eggs by putting a fresh
sod, about three or four inches thick,
In the bottom of each nesting box,
and making the nest upon it. If
fresh and moist at the time it is lut
in it will exhale all tbs moisture the
eggs need. Two-year-old hens make
better settlers than yearling pullets,
as they are far more constant, sell
dom deserting eggs, or the young
broods subsequently,, as pullets fire.
