The May report of the Agriculture De-
partment contains some interesting data
concerning agriculture and farm labor i'll
New Jersey. The condition of winter
wheat is 91 per cent, it having declined 4
points since last month. In May, 1887,
the winter wheat in New Jersey was only
rs per cent. The condition of winter rye
is given as 9G per cent. The proportion of
blowing work already done in the State is
&C per cent, whereas the proportion usual
ly done by this time in May in an average
year is over 20 per cent. The result of the
May investigation of wages OF farm labor
shows that in New Jersey farm laborer
receives on an average S93.33 per month
without board, or S15.73 with board.
During the harvest time the same laborer
receives 81. SO without board, or Sl.5O with
board. In transient service, other than
harvesting. the ordinary farm laborer re-
ceives 81 90 day without board, or "
cents with board. The lowest per diem
wages paid such laborer is in Virginia
where they receive on an average but 5l
cents per day. In this connection tho re-
port says: I'm New Jersey one half is the
rule in share contracts, with somewhat
variable conditions, and labor alone re-
cciyes one -fourth to one third. The item

to the report 81, 307 farms, of which num-
bcr 25, 500 are cultivated by the owners.
Altogether the New Jersey report will
compare very fayorably with those of the

sad Death of pemDerfon pierce.

Pemberton Pierce, of Philadelphia,
formerly a resident of Pennsgrove, was in
stantly killed ON Monday, at Roekdale,
Texas, by jumping from the window of the
hotel in which he was stopping, and which
had caught fire. Mr. Pierce was engaged
in the capacity of travelling salesman for
George II. Zeigler, a manufactures of shoes
in Philadelphia, and when not on the road
lived with his wife at 1888 Fontaine street,
that city. A reporter of a Philadelphia
paper had the following interview with
Mrs. Pierce concerning the sad affair:
Il have had presentment that some
thing awful was TO befall us, " said Mrs.
Pierce, ''and SO had my husband. Before
he left on this trip to Texas, four weeks
ago, he spoke to Mr.. Ziegler and asked him
to look out for me if anything should hap
pen to him while away. His policy of in
surance for $4,000 in an aecideEt insurance
company had expired and the day he left
he gave me the premium money and urged
me not to fail to renew it at once, as he
feared that something was to befall him
and that anyhow delays were dangerous.
He often told me of the dangers he had
to pass through in the rude villages and
towns of Texas. Many nights he was
afraid to go 10 sleep in the places where he
was obliged to lay his head
''The last letter | received from him he
told me that lie had been very sick but was
getting stronger. The place where he met
his death is an obscure town of only two
Thousand inhabitants. He was evidently
delayed there two days, as he was to have
left on Saturday The hotel accommoda-
tions are poor at that place, and suppose
he was in a sound sleep and the flames
came on him without warning"
Mr.. Pierce jumped from the seeond-story
window of the hotel when it caught fire
and struck on his head, being instantly
killed. Ten other persons in the house
were burned to death. He was AZ years
