BAKING EXPERIMENTS.
The annual report Of the department
of agriculture, just out, shows one 81
the features Of the years work to have
been series of baking experiments with
flour OF different grades from all parts Of the
country. The result Of the investigation has
been TO show that the weight Of bread pro
duced from a given weight Of -four is almost
entirely dependent on the percentage Of
moisture in the -four rather than
upon the quality or amount Of
gluten in IT. These experiments we're
conducted primarily for comparison
with those Of McDougal Bros, in England,
a short time ago, which did not result very
favorably for the American -four as regards
quantity. Our results show much higher
yield than was found abroad.
The report states that the department has
information that large number OF trees are
being planted in the northwest, u o less than
300, 900 having been planted In Nebraska
alone in the present year, and more than
1000 bushels Of walnut and other tree

TELEGRAPH MATTERS.
RumOrs Regarding the Postal Com
pany-The Western Union Re-
ducing Wages.
special Telegram TO the Globe.


CHICAGO, Dec. l2.-For the past two DAYS
the employees of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany have been severing connecting wires
with the Bankers & Merchants telegraph
from New York and other places. Rumors
have been circulated that the Postal had been
leased TO the Western Union, because Jas.
Gordon Bennett and Mackey had become tired
OF the cable scheme. The separation between
the Postal and the Bankers 81 Merchants has
been attributed to the swallowing up Of the
Postal by fzzle Of the corporation.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter called on
Col. Clowry, the general manager Of the
Western Union in this city, but that gentle
man knew absolutely nothing about any
consolidation or the taking possession of the
Posta's lines. He thought there was nothing
in it, as, If there was, be would have heard
something about It.
Manager Patten, Of the Postal, said that he
didn't believe that there was word Of truth
in the rumor that they had disconnected
from the Bankers aud Merchants because
the latter had completed its lines east The
Postal, be believed, would continue as an In
dependent corporation.
A re porter had a talk with F. II. Tubbs,
the district manager for the Western Union
telegraph, IN regard TO the cutting down Of
the salaries Of employees.
''We are doing" said Mr.. Tubbs, 'sjust
what any corporation is doing that has de-
sire to continue in existence. We are look
ing sharply TO our pay rolls, and reducing
expenses wherever ii can be done. We are
not reducing salaries at all, but are cutting
of over time. The reduction will not aver
age over 10 per cent on the pay Of anyone.
l know where railroads have shut down eu-
tirely on Saturdays to reduce expenses, while
others have just paid their men half time.
We are trying earnestly to get along without
doing this"
''Do you mean to say that your business
has been so reduced as 10 demand such an
emergencyP' asked the reporter.
''Yes," replied Mr.. Tubbs. "all business
has been reduced, and our business follows
the others. Look at the board Of trade, for
instance, or the grocery, or any other bust
ness, aud see bow II has been affected"
"How much has the volume of your BUSH
ness been redueedli
al can't tell that. This Is usually a dull
time CT the year, but, this being presIden-
tisl year, our business has been unusually
dull, and we've had to cut of corners. In
some cases we have raised salaries this
month where they have been too low. There

The Res, of German Wines.
lCoblenz Letter to London Truth.

lSOotcuA LcblcE " Louuou lfulu.
It is perfectly ridiculous for wine merchants
to assert that the flower of the produce OF the
vineyards of the Duke OF Nassau aud Of
Prince Metternich gets into the hands Of
'the trade" The best Is almost invariably
retained for certain imperial and royal cell
lars and for few favored customers. The
''SchlOss" vineyard at Johannisberg extends
10 only forty acres, while that of the DIXIE Of
Nassau, near the Abbey OF Eberbaeh, is only
sixty acres; you may, therefore, form some
idea Of the inadequacy OF the supply as COM
pared with the demand. The fact is that the
wine usually sold as Johannisberger does not
come from Prince Metternich's famous vine
yard. The best is grown on the adjoining
estate Of Count Schoubo while most of that
which Is sold In England is the produce Of
the vineyards around the village of Johannis-
berg, which, although not bad, Is very far
inferior 10 the second-rate growths OF Rudes-
heimer, MarcObrunner, and Rauthenthaler.
berg-Stein berger, Cabinet, in the same way,
comes, as a rule, from vineyards in the dis
trict behind Hattenheim.
The prices at which the supposed johann
nisberger aud Steinberger are sold in Eng
land show at once that they cannot possibly
be what ignorant people supposs them TO be.
At Johnanisberg good bottle of the Schloss
cabinet" wine cannot be purchased under
twenty marks, but you can obtain bottle OF
inferior growth, also Labelled ''Johan nisberg-
err" for fifth OF that price. There are sew
eral growths of each district. You can get
'-Rudesheimer'' at Rudesheim for three shiI-
lings bottle, but for really frst-rate Rud S.
heimer you pay nearly three times that price.
and the same with ''MarcObrun ner,n and
"Rauthenthaler. People who like Rhine
wine Of high class land there is no finer
tipple) must be prepared TO pay V cry liber-
al price for it, and the present rates are like
~ to increase. In any case, the best plan is
to obtain the wine from a respectable wine
merchant at Koln, Coblenz, Mainz or Frank
fort; but before entering into negotiations it
must be remem bered that good Rhine wine
is very expensive, and l am sure no honest
vender will controVert this assertion. The
"crack" vineyards Of the Rheingau are iecap-
able Of producing twentieth part OF the
wines which are sold as coming from them.
