ON BOARD
Six UnfOrtunateS on the
Springburn.
A Battle on the Stronsa-The Oregon
Pacific Settles Promptly.
Marine Notes.

Six unfortunate seamen were sent to the
United States Marine Hospital from the
British ship Springburn yesterday. The
men were suffering from scurvy. and al
though the loathsome disease had not got
a very strong hold upon them their condi-
ton was sufficiently pitiable to remind
land folks that sailors lie is not always
happy one.
Whether some sea lawyer will develo D
who will tell of wormy seabiscuit and de-
cayed pork IS causes which aggravated the
scurvy on board the Springburn rem aims
to be seen.
British sea captains are not slow in
speaking lightly of the American merchant
marine, but too often cases of sickness
caused by poor food and worse treatment
on board of English ships are brought to
the notice of our local authorities.
1t has been particularly noticeable of
late that very poor class of ill-fed and
cheap sailors have been brought into port
by foreign vessels.
There are several foreign vessels in
harbor that compel their crews to do ell
the work of discharging from the hold and
part of the work of loading for wages
amounting to about So month. English
vessels ire not referred TO in this case.

Business in China Is Not
Good.
A Steady Decline in the Tea Exports.
The Sungpu Massacre Remains
Unpublished.

A. W. Lowe. who has been representing
passed through the city yesterday en-
route to his home.
His account OF business at the trading
ports of the Celestial Empire is not en-
couragipg. The depreciation in silver had
4 sufficiently paralyziDg effect on trade,
but other causes have combined to make
the outlook rather dark.
while the Chinese as individuals" re-
marked Mr.. Lowe, ''can adapt themselves
to any set of conditions the same thing is
not true of them as a nation. So rigid are
they in their modes that while the English
and other merchants have been educating
the Western nations to consume Indian
and Ceylon teas they have stood supinely
by and allowed the trade to slip away. By
FAR the best patron of the Chinese tea
market is Russia. The finest grades are
sent through to st. Petersburg and the
compressed brick tea travels by caravan
into Siberia and elsewhere. In these re-
mote ATTITUDES it even passes freely as
money and so far fulfils the facetious
suggestion made by Professor Edison.
The crop to be gathered early in the
coming year will only be medium. In ad-
ditlon to other draw backs, foreigners resi-
Dent at the several ports on the Yang tss-
hlang do not feel any too secure. Two
years ago couple of Englishmen were
murdered at Wasuch, a place about thirty
miles below Hankow. While an indem-
nifty was paid by the Government, the local
officials who, to some extent at least, were
implicated in the offense, were never pun
ished.
This year the Sungpu massacre took
place, two Scandinavian missionaries be-
ing killed. The place is only about fifty
miles from Hankow but up TO the date of
my leaving no steps had been taken toward
punis ming the murderers. A spirit of un-
rest is abroad in China, and with the tea
trade declining. deprecated currency and
life itself not any too safe. the outlook can
not be considered encouraging"

WOOL AND MUTTON.

Cross- Bred Sheep Mast BE the Main De-
pendence OF Wool Growers.
Wool IS now differentiated by breed,
and by the parts of the sleeps body.
1t must not be supposed that the whole
body of sheep bears the same kind
and quality of wool. This would be
wholly mistaken idea, and one that
would stand prominently in the way of
any intelligent consideration of this
subject And this is one of the most
important things for the wool grower
to study when he is thinking of improv-
ing his woolbearerS The diagram
here given will represent the differ
ence in the quality of the wool of any
one of the Down breeds. and approx
imately of that in Merino. For the
quality of the fleece is yet dependent to
q large extent on the form of the frame
even of the most highly bred Merinoes,
and it will be centuries, perhaps. be-
fore the most skillful breeder will be
able, if ever. to overcome the tendency
to this local variation in wool Hence
the wool-sorter's occupation will still
remain until by successful crossing and
long continued breeding the whole car
cass may bear wool of high value if
this were desirable. That it will be
desirable to the wool-grower seems to
be very certain. although there is
necessity for many grades for the
manufacturer.

Ducks for breeding Purposes

One drake and five ducks is the pro-
portion of sexes, and flock of ten
ducks should supply all the eggs that
may be required for next year. As long
as grass is plentiful and the ducks
have wide range they need cost moth
ing at this season, but as soon as it be-
comes necessary TO feed them the flock
should be reduced 70 4 minimum. as
they are voracious. Young ducks will
bring as much now as at any time during
the remainder of the year. and i; Will
be an advantage to sell them. The old
ducks will prove the best layers for
next year.-Farm and Fireslda

legs being almost like hair. Every
Merino breeder will know how much
has been done with that breed in
bringing the fleece to a more even
sameness of quality. for in some of the
Merinoes the belly wool is much better
than in the Down breeds, and the leg
wool is wool down to the hoofs. This
exemplifies the possibility that exists
in the improvement of sheep by sue
cessful crossing. The wool buyer takes
note of this difference. and it is this,
he handles the fleece. that causes him
to give better price for the fleeces of
one flock than he will give for others.
This is one of the essential points to be
considered in choosing the rams to be
used in crossing as we'll as in selecting
the flock of ewes.
That cross-bred sheep must be the
main dependence of the wool-grower is
as certain as an axiom. There is not
sufficient supply of pure-bred sheep to
produce all the wool required and there
never will be any sufficient uniformity
in the pure-bred sheep to keep the staple

many breeds: even of one rice. We

origin. all alike and without sensi ole
change for ten years. but in that short
time these fioclss will exhibit surprising
differences. This is very well known
to breeders. who must exercise the most
rigid selection to keep their standard of
excellence intact. Thus the slaughter
house is one of the absolute necessities
of the successful breeder. and. as there
are weeds in f1ocks as in fields. the

for his success as is that of the farmer
