The blossoms were bright on the ground

The birds of the springtimc all joined in the

Now the winter is on, with its storms and its

But the love that came under the tree
Continues as true as the tide in its flowing
As true as the stars in the Infinite glowing
As the magnet the mariners course to him

Who sails on the ultimate sea.

Eggs by Weight.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
There is from twenty to thirty per
cent difference in the weight Of
eggs, yet the custom is almost univer-
sal in the Eastern markets of selling
them by the dozen at a uniform price.
Even ducks eggs, which are much
larger, and regarded by some asmuch
richer, bring no more than the small
est hens eggs of not half the weight.
In California, eggs, fruits, and many
other articles which are here sold by
the dozen, the bunch, or by measure,
are sold by weight. The practice is
a good one, and works benefcially
for all parties, especially for the pro-
Queer. 1t operates as premium upon
the cultivation of the most produc-
tive varieties of fruits, vegetables and
farm stock. The farmer who is pains
taking with his poultry and gets the
largest weight of eggs, has fair re-
ward for his skill and industry. The
present custom is a premium to light
weights, and good layers. We need
a change in the interest of fair deal
ing in trade, and, if necessary, it
should be enforced by legislation. If
the legislature is competent to fix the
weight of bushel of corn or pota-
toes, it can easily regulate the weight
of a dozen eggs, and thus promote
exact Justice between buyer andseller.

Cause of the Disappearance OF Swine
Plague.

Chicago Tribune.
That the swine of this country have
been almost entirely free from cpl
denies for the last two or three years
is a matter for which the farmer and
consumer of pork may well be thank
full. The ravages of the diseases
which were popularity described I'M
der the broad term "hog cholera"
ceased almost entirely some two years
since, and last year there was so little
fatal disease among hogs, that in
quiries by the Department of Agri-
culture failed to bring to light in the
whole country cases enough to be of
note, if it were'not for the fact that a
single case is proof that the germs of
disease still exist. The causes of this
remarkable cessations of attacks Of
disease are not mysterious, nor are
they such, unfortunately, as warrant
the expectation that American swine
will certainly continue to enjoy com
parative freedom from sickness.
1t will be remembered that the last
two winters have been extremely
cold, with heavy falls of snow. The
summers have been characterized by
frequent and very cold rains, which
checked the development of many
plants, notably of corn and other
crops, which need for their maturing
hot, comparatively dry, and long sea-
sons. The causes which serve to pre-
vent the development of some of the
more important crops, have also pre-
vented the growth of the germs of
the diseases which have caused the
loss of so many hogs. Long-contin-
ued hot weather, with rain enough to
make rapid growth and early MATURE
ty, followed by open winters in which
the snowfall was light, tended to
cause sickness among hogs multiply
ing to an enormous extent the germs
of the malaria so fatal to these ami
mails. For several years in succession
the seasons were favorable to crop
growing and the farmers were pros
porous, but during those years they
lost enormous numbers of hogs.
The assertion made by some of the
newspapers that the statement pub
lished five or six years ago about the
losses of swine from disease were
"notoriously sensational and absurd"
is without a shadow of truth, as will
be seen by any one who will take the
trouble to read the records made pub
lie at that time bymen whose reputa-
ton is more valuable to them than
any amount of money would be.
The papers of those years frequently
almost constantly, in fact-contain-
ed accounts of losses from hog cholera
from all parts of the States east of the
mountains and west of the Ohio.
These accounts were unquestioned
until lately, because a part of the of
fetal records of the government, were
well known by the people in other
lands, and are as fully sustained as
anything can be sustained by the evil
dence of unbiased witnesses. Yet
certain newspaper writers seek to gain
some object by the hopeless course OF
misrepresenting the long and widely
known truth. 1t is not so long age
that the packers themselves talked

Millions in Beet Sugar.

"Do you know" said prominent
official of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, to a correspond
ent, "that in spite of all the time that
we have had in the past few years
about sorghum sugar, and the report
ed success Of the past year or two in
its manufacture, that more beet sugar
is made in this country than sorghum
sugar 2"
"No."
at is fact" he replied. "There
is just one beet sugar factory in the
country, that is in California. 1t
turned out last year and the year be-
fore more sugar than all the sorghum
sugar factories in the country"
"Do you think there is any future
to this industry in the United States?"
81 think that if the United States
were ever to produce its own sugar it
would be in this way, and there is no
reason why it should not do 500
In this connection some facts and
figures recently received at the State
Department from Consul Kiefer at
Germany (Stettin) are especially in
teresting. He shows that the export
of beet sugar from Germany to the
United States, begun in 1881, has
grown with wonderful rapidity, not
withstanding the heavy tariff which
this country imposes upon foreign
sugar, and from that Consular district
alone amounted last year to nearly
100000, and it is to be largely in
creased in the coming year. Com
menting upon the great quantities Of
beet sugar manufactured in his dis
trict, and the profits growing out Of
that industry as well, Kiefer says:
"As l look at the astonishing re-
suits l cannot help thinking that in
the cultivation of this root a new and
large field of enterprise and prospect.
ty would be given to our American
people. Some States are particularly
well adapted to the cultivation of the
sugar-beet, for instance, Michigan
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, and
100000 acres lying idle now, if utili
zed for that purpose, would yield
rich harvest. The time will come
when the beet root will be for the
North what the sugar cane is for the
South, and sugar factories replace
within the Northern States the cotton
mills now springing up in the South
and the wealth of the nation will bt
increased materially, not only by
adding a new industry to the coun
try, but also by saving the hundreds
of thousands of dollars now annually
sent abroad for this article"
