AGRICULTURAL HINTS,
THE JAPANESE WALNUT.

4 Tree That IL Now Attracting Some A..
tention In This Country.
The japanese walnut, which is now
attracting some attention, appears to
have been introduced into the United
States about twenty-five years ago.
The Oldest trees are at Tower House,
Shasta County, Cal, the property
of Charles Camden. There are two
trees. ''They bore nuts at eight years
of age" Mr.. Camden writes. ''The
trees grow very thrifty and are hand
some in shape, and are very full and
regular bearers" The illustration is
made from specimens from these trees.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Camden
sent trees to General Bidwcll, at
Rancho Chico, and they are now bear
ing. These and the two original trees
are the only ones yet fruiting in this
country. The tree is now offered by
some Eastern nurserymen, and we
shall soon hope to know something
definite as to its hardness and capabil-
tiles. The species grows in Northern
Japan and is said to be as hardy As an
oak.
Juglans Sieboldiana Is closely allied
To j. Handkerchief. another species Of
Eastern Asia, though it is not recorded
rs cultivated plant in Japan. DIR.
Maximowicz, the author of both species,
says that he has often seen them grow
ing and knows of no good distinction
between them, except the characters Of
the nuts. J. Mandchourica has Oblong
and ridged nuts. while J. Sieboldiana
should have short and smooth nuts. In
shape, the nuts of the specimens figured
(see ilustration) are very Like those OF
J. Handkerchief, but their smOothness

MINNEApoLls. Jan. 3l.-The mills last
week ground the most flour since Dec. l,
and the bulk of it was produced through
the medium Of steam as a motive power.
The aggregate output for the week lend
ing Saturday, was l4l,30o barrels-av-
eraging 1850 barrels daily-against
liz, 600 barrels the week before, and
117.74O barrels for the corresponding
time in 1890, and s4,loo barrels in 1889.
The mills are now running nearly as
strong as they were week ago, and
will probably make as much -four for the
six days Us they then did. There were
fourteen in operation to-day. and the
number Will be increased by the starting
of one or two others Monday. The
water power continues very short, and
several of the mills that possess steam
have lately not been trying to utilize
their meager portion. The upturn in
wheat Saturday caused quite an active
demand for flour to set in from domestic
markets. Foreign trade is still quiet.
Probably the largest and most i'm
portant mill contract ever letFin this
country was awarded here Wednesday,
says the Northeastern, Millcr. 1t was no
less than the complete reconstruction OF
the east side of the Washburn 4 mill,
and increasing its capacity from 500 to
$500 barrels. The contract goes to the
Edw&rd p. Allis company. of Milwaukee.
The deal has been in process of incuba
ton for . number OF weeks, but so
quietly was it carried to a consnmm;s-
ton that scarcely a dozen persons were
aware of its execution, and they were
mostly principals. The Allis company

Tho Death of Secretary WINDOW Clear!

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The effect Of
the death of Secretary Window was
clearly visible in all the departments of
the government this morning. While
the treasury department was the only
building actually closed, business was
practically suspended in the others. The
president is very deeply gricved over the
loss of his friend, and this morning gave
instructions that he could see no ono on
business to-day. Gen. Spalding, who is
acting secretary of the treasury, ordered
the department closed for the day, and
the flags OH all the executive depart
ments have been placed at half mast,
and the treasury department is dressed
in mourning. AT meeting of the but
rcau chiefs and heads of departments in
the treasury department., it was decided
that they go in body to the railroad
station this afternoon and meet the body
when it arrived. A committee to draft
appropriate resolutions was also ap-
pointed.
