NEARLY four-Gftus Of all the cauli-
flowers supplied to the New York mar

of about thirty miles on Long Island.
The soil and climate of this region is
peculiarly adapted to the development
of this excellent vegetab e, and nearly
every farm from Southold to Iiiverhead
is devoted to its cultivation. 1t is
stated that In no other locality on Long
Island, or in The New England or

in such perfection, and this fact gives

No FEAR OF Too Much POULTRY.
Under this healing Mr.. w. W..
Weber gives some interesting figures.
He has heard 1t remarked that as SO
many are engaged in the business there
was danger of an over-supply of poultry
in the market. Let us look, he adds, az
few facts furnished by the Bureau Of
Statistics Of the Treasury Department
at Washington. In 1876 the United
States imported 4,903,77l dozen of eggs
valued at $500, 1888. In 1885 it appears
that 1G,09S, 450 dozen were lmpOrte i,
valued at s., 476 ,672, or an increase of
nearly four times the quantity first
named. Great Britain imports 1885,
900 dozen egg, valued at ST., 900, 600.
Ireland furnishes S500,000,U01 more,
and the home production is probably
equal to the home importation. The
annual production in the United States
amounts to 9,0O0,000,0t0, representing
value of not less than $50, 200. 00O
for eggs alone. Let those who worry
in reference to the future prosperity of
the poultry business ponder the above
figures, and not be concerned about an
over-production which is far from ike y
to happen.

one nf the best disinfectants and insect
destroyers that can be used. A small
quantity need only be applied at time.
To keep green vegetables for a day

A remedy for ring worm-Take a
sheet of ordinary writing paper and
burn on a plate. After the paper is
burned in the form of a yellow spot a

several days.

UNDERBILLING FREIGHT.

Penalties Attached to Same by Recent
/ Amendments of the Interstate COM
merce Act.
A circular issued to shippers and railway
employees from the Western Railway Weigh
ing Association and Inspection Bureau
calls attention to amendments recently en-.
acted to section 10 OF the Interstate Com.
merce Act. 1t provides that any common
carrier or employe Of the same WHO by
underbilliDg or any other device enables
any one to obtain transportation for goods
rat less than the regular rates shall be
deemed guilty OF misdemeanor and on
conviction shall be subject to fine not ex.
ceeding $4,000 or imprisonment for not
lore than two years or both in the dis.
cretion OF the court.
The same punishment is meted out to
any person who shall deliver property to
any common carrier who shall knowingly
and wilf:lly under bill freight whether with
or without the consent of such common
carrier.
The same penalty lie prescribed for any
person who shall bribe any common car
rier to discriminate in his favor against
any other consignor or consignee in the
transportation OF freight and shall be liable
jointly with the common carrier in an
action brought by the party Disseminated
against for ali damages resulting from such
discrimination.
The association promises to submit any

tion of the law, making no discrimination
between shippers, railway agents and en-

The prohibition mo, ement met with a
decided check In New Hampshire last
week, when number Of proposed amend
ments to the constitution were voted
upon by the people. One Of these amend
ments prohibited the manufacture, sale
or keeping for sale beverage of alco-
holic or intoxicating liquor except cider.
The result Of the vote on this amend
ment has been complete surprise both
to the advocates and opponents Of the
same. 1t appears not only the amend
ment has not carried, but that there is
an actual majority against it. To carry
the amendment a two-ihirds vote Of the
electors would be necessary. There are
evidences Of a change Of feeling in
reference to the prohibition question in
Rhode Island, which has already tried
the experiment Of constitutional pro-
hibition. The upper branch of the state
legislature has concurred with the lower
branch in passing resolution to re-sub-
NIT the prohibitory amendment to the
people Of that state. Similar action must
be taken by the next legislature of the
state to bring about the re-submission,
but the condition of sentiment In the
state seems to indicate that like result
will be reached.

Its History in Brief.

Its History In Brief.
Tacoma, w. T. dispatch of March Is: In
q packed court room, at few minutes be-
fore O'Clock this evening, the jury brought
in a verdict OF not guilty in the trial oi
William M. White for murde-. The trial
which was a noted one. consumed a week
and was the third trial of the accused
White was arrested in July, 1885, on q
charge OF killing James Mcmillan on farm
six miles from here.
McMillan's father foreclosed q mortgage
on Whites farm and sent his son James to
cut hay. He went armed, and White or.
dered him off. In the melee that followed
Mcmillan was killed. White was tried in
November, 1885, and the jury failed to
agree. In June, 1885, he was again tried
and convicted of murder in the second de.
gree and sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tentiary. He served eighteen months,
when new trial was granted by the Su.
preme Court.
The indictment was quasbed because q
woman had served on the jury, and last
July new Indictment was found. White is
n man with grown-up family, and McMil-
lan's family is well known in the county.
Able counsel were engaged on both sides,
and the case was fought fiercely.
