Smallpox In tho summertimc.

Ell PAso, Tex, July 26.-At Big
Springs, Tex, some 800 miles east OF
Ell Paso, smallpox has bfckenput among
the numerous laborers employed on the
railroad sections in that vicinity, mostly
Mexicans and Chinese, which causes a
good deal of uneasiness among the vari-
GUS stopping places between Big Springs
aad places further west, for fear that the
disease may spread. With the lower
class of these laborers smallpox is an al.
most permanent aftiiction, but it usually
breaks out in yirulent form in winter
only. That it should appear during an
exceedingly hot summer is somewhat re-
markable.

Convention Find it Necessary

WASHINGTON, July 26.-A conference
was held last night at the house OF Sena'
tor Evarts by Republican senators to de-
termine on the party policy on the tarif
issue in the senate. 1t was agreed that
the bill prepared by the subcommittee
of the finance committee should be re-
ported in due course by the full commit
tee to the senate, and duly considered by
that body and vote had on it before
adjournment. The bill, it IS said, will
effect an annual reduction of the revenue
of about $40, 900, 900. About twenty-five
senators were assembled in the Evarts
home by O'Clock. Informal converse
tion took place, after which the dining
room was visited and light refreshments
served. The conference proper lasted
about an hour breaking up at midnight.
Senator Sherman made the first speech
of consequence and advised in a most
earnest manner that no tariff measure
be considered by the senate. He asserted
that the main issue would be affected il
bill was to be passed. Remarks were
made by members of the subcommittee
in charge of the bill, who claimed that
there was but one course to pursue, and
that was to pass tariff bill. Senator
Chandler said that bill could be passed
by thirty nine Republican votes, and
urged that the party pass a bill and go to
the country with it in the coming cleo
tion. 1t was soon discovered that those
opposed to considering a bill were greatly
in the minority. A standing vote showed
that with three or four exceptions the
senators present favored the considera-
tion of tariff measure. After adjourn.
ment of the meeting Senator Allison,
chairman of the subcommittee, said to a
representative of the United Press: "It
will not be over aweek before the finance
committee, will report tariff bill to the
senate. believe there will be an elab-
crate discussion of it, and eventually a
vote. But when that vote will be taken,
cannot say. 1t may be months y
Senator Aldrich, who has been more
than any one else interested in framing
the bill, said that the bill was ready TO
be reported, and that the question of the
date when the report would be made
would be settled when they determined
how long the written report was to be.

ing of stocks used in the Iowa college
orchard), have used this word only
as a quotation. This l did from con-
seriousness of the laxity of meaning and
the consequent liability to be misunder-
stood. 1t is doubtful If the word can
be reduced to definite Specification;
since an Iron-clad" in southern Iowa
will be quite likely to be such in Min
nesota, and is very sure to fail utterly
in Manitoba, if not even in Northern
Minnesota. True, the crabs are very
liable to blight at the northwest; but
my limited observation has not led me
to suppose them any more so than are
the Russians as a class. 1t is my pres
ent impression that if the Objectionable
word is to be made TO convey definite
meaning, it must be by always coupling
it with definite locality and possibly
by also referring to particular test sea-
sons. Fruit culturists very commonly
express themselves, and even draw con-
illusions, with much laxity. Mr., Gideon
AYERS that the Wealthy apple originated
from cherry crab seed, forgetting how
easily one or even many other apple
seeds may have found their way into

Whitney's No. 20 is called crab, al
though neither the tree nor its fruit
can be said to betray such origin, ex-
cept, perchance, by the length of the
stem. Many other examples might be
given, but forbear. Very Truly Yours,
South Haven, Mich. T. I. LYON.
A remark or two may be in order
here as regards the origin of the
Wealthy apple. Mr.. Gideon, we I'M
derstand, does not depend so much
upon the character of the seed from
which it although cherry crab
seed is so much smaller than apple
seed, and although Mr. Albert Emer-
son of Bangor, Me-, who sent it to him,
was a very careful man, and an expert
horticulturist, Jas he does upon the
fact that very large, if not the larger,
proportion of the many seedlings which
he has grown from the Wealthy show
very marked crab characteristics, while
some are complete reversions of the
original type. We have been informed
that Mr.. Emerson's crab-tree, from the
fruit of which this seed was taken,
grew in his city garden, surrounded by
a number of choice dessert apple-trees,
the Fameuse among them, which has
led to the supposition that the Wealthy
is a hybrid. If human testimony, as
reliable as we are likely to get upon so
difficult point, is considered, we have
very similar case in Vermont, in the
origin of the Mortified Beauty apple,
from a seed of the small yellow Siberian
crab, purposely planted by the origina-
tor, Mr.. Leonard Cady of Mortified,
VT. This apple was originally known
as Cady's Crab" but being so large
and fine fruit, the name was thought
to be prejudicial, and it was changed,
as above. In season, size, quality and
beauty of fruit, and in the general ap.
pearance of the tree, as well as in hardi.
ness, Wealthy and Mortified are about
alike, and neither would be classed
with the crabs from appearances alone
The only point looking that way is theil
hardness. We do not know that seed
lings from the Mortified have evel
been grown, but such an experiment
would be neutrality-suspicious..

Corn Versus Grass.

Mr.. j. L. Howe of Greene raised
the past season three and half acres
of sweet corn, on high land where it
was not injured by frost. The land
was MANFRED heavily, and the corn was
even, thick and stout. Being planted
late, and the latter part of the season
being so unfavorable for ripening corn,
only about half a crop went to the fac
tory, and the remainder was left with
out picking. Eighteen cows were put
into the barn and fed on this corn green
from the field. The entire crop was
eaten up clean in thirty days. No grain
was fed. 1t was quite surprise that
the field of corn did not serve to feed
the stock longer. Though no record
was kept of the quantity of corn eaten
per day by an animal, yet rough COM
parison with hay may be made. Land
so rich as that would easily have grown
three tons of mixed clover hay, in two
crops, or ten and half tons on the
field. This would have furnished each
cow forty pounds of hay per day for the
time they were consuming the corn
crop. Twenty pounds of hay per day
is full ration for a COW, with grain
feed added. So the field in clover, with
grain added, would have carried the
cows twice as long as did the corn; or
at the end of thirty days feeding, the
value of the hay left would fully meet
the cost of the grain feed given. Every
feeder knows that mixed clover and
grain in productive results would be
more than equal to the corn. Thus it
is easily seen that the field in grass
would have been at least of as much
value for the keeping of stock as was
the corn fodder in this case, while the
labor attending its production would
be much less. 1t is not claimed that
this experience is definite proof of any
thing in the matter. 1t is, however, a
pointer which may well set farmers to
studying the problem, and it may well
raise the inquiry whether we have not
been placing too high an estimate on
fodder corn as comparative crop, and
also as fodder, when fed with meal
whether in the form of green fodder or
as ensilage Farmer.

Annual Meeting Of the Vermont
State Grange.

In compliance with the directions of
the state grange at its last annual ses-
sion, the executive committee have
made arrangements for holding the
seventeenth annual session of the state
grange at Montpelier, commencing
Wednesday, December II, at ten O'Clock
A. NJ. The coming session will be one
of much Importance and interest to the
order in this state. The biennial cleo
ton of officers will occur at that time,
and several other important matters re-
lating to the prosperity of the order
and the general welfare of farmers
will be brought forward for the DELHI
Grafton of the members. The sixth
degree will probably be conferred for
the first time in this state. The cordial
reception of the representative men,
bers of the order at the state capital
one year ago will doubtless be repeated
and everything will be done to make
the session one of pleasure and profit
to all who may attend. 1t is expected
that not only will there be full repre-
sentation of the voting members of the
state grange but that there will be large
delegations from the membership in
different parts of the state. Don't fail
to attend the coming session of the
state grange.

to the green corn fed, as well as to the

only because mixed hay, with clover,
is far better dairy feed than clear

unbalanced nature, the very unripe-

of crude and watery matter in it, which
the cows had to wrestle with was against

GREAT BRITAIN is evidently resolved
to let American adulterated food prod
ucts severely alone. There have been
three convictions at Liverpool of agents
of American firms who sold adulter-
ated lard, in and each case heavy fine
was inflicted. This will be warning,
which will doubtless greatly decrease
the quantity of adulterated lard ex-
ported by Armour & Co., and our other
adulterating capitalists. British i'm
ports of American cheese are also
steadily declining. In 1887 the imports
amounted to 759 1853 hundred weights,
against 1,355,745 hundred weights in
1878. The cause of this great falling
off is said to be the wholesale adultera-
ton of American cheese with lard,
cotton-seed oil, and skim-milk. All
English dealers selling this adulterated
product are liable to prosecution under
the recent merchandise mark act. 1t is
not at all unlikely that American
makers and shippers of fraudulent agri-
cultural products will soon be made to
learn that honesty is the best policy"
