6OO,O00 BUSHELS OF CRANBERRIEs,
/ The American Cranberry Growers
Association met i'm Philadelphia on
Tuesday and compared notes on the
outlook for the present years crop. 1t
is estimated that the country over
there will be harvested GOO, 900 bushels,
as compared with 400, 1000 in 1894 and
1,OOO, 900 in 1893. The gain over last
year is fully so per cent, and is largely
made in the Cape Cod region. New
jerseys crop will be per cent. better
than last year, and the Wisconsin crop,
like that Of year ago, cuts but a
small figure. The Jersey berries are
suffering from drought, and many of
the berries are dropping off the vines
else there would have been a much
larger crop. The reports of the burn
ing of cranberry bogs near Medford by
forest fires last week, were greatly ex-
aggerated, and very little damage was
done. The association will ship ber-
ries to England again this year, but it
has not yet decided whether or not to
send an agent to the other side of the
POND.

RAILROADS AND THE CROPS.

| RAILROADS AND THE CROPS.
AS the fall approaches and the har.
vest is about to be garnered it becomes
clear that the railroads of the United
States are about to encounter one of
the serious problems which every now
and then confront railroad manager.
1t has been year of unprecedented
plenty; corn, wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley have flourished as never before.
There has been no drought, not even
in Kansas, where, as is well known,
they have to fire cannon ball at the
clouds to make it rain, and then it
rains somewhere else. Never was
there such yield of corn. Never such
a harvest of oats. Wheat, while not
produced this year in unusual quanti-
ties, has still resulted in more than
average crop. Railroad freight agents
recognize the fact that the crops are
going to tax to the very utmost the fa-
cilities of their roads. In railroad cir
cles there are felt grave doubts as to
the capability of the roads to meet the
demand for cars when the crops are to
be moved.
Notwithstanding this fact the rail-
roads from the West to the seaboard
are already beginning a rate war.
With more business in sight than all
of them can handle, they have under
taken to cut one another's throats
through methods of competition out of
which can come no advantage either to
the stockholders in the corporations or
to the shippers. Cheap rates are not
necessarily good rates, for the very SIM
pie reason that the cheap rate, the cut
throat rate, is obtained not by the Or
binary small shipper, but by the big
fellow to the detriment of the small
shippers. Decentralization in railway
rates means decentralization of trade.
If one road, desirious of securing
larger share af the business from its
territory, should make open and frank
declaration of a freight rate less than
that of its competitors, there would be
in it profit to everybody having goods
to ship. This is not, however, the
way in which railroads compete with
each other. They cut rates only for
the benefit of the man who by the ex-
tent of his shipping business or through |
influence with the road gets in on the |
ground floor. The average farmer
profits not whit. This being the
case, rate war in the presence of un-
demand for shipping fa-
,ilities amounts to nothing more than
of the fact that the rail-
'oad manager, for one reason or an
'ther, finds more profit in pressing his
'wn scheme than he does in conser-
ing the interests of the stockholders
n his corporation. n.-Chicago Chroni-

HOW DO You LIKE ITs

might have an opportunity to examine
it and perhaps become sufficiently in
terested in it to become a regular
reader. Is it good paper? Is it not
an advocate of the rights of the people
as against the bad in politics ? Is there
not necessity for such paper and is
it not to the public interest to give 1t
your support? A large subscription
list from among the leading and most
conservative citizens of this State,
will give a wonderful moral support
that can come in no other way. 1t is
not the subscription fund, though that
is not small consideration, 30 much
as it is the feeling that the best citizens,
the most patriotic, are giving to the
paper the influence of their support in
Its efforts for honest and good govern
ment. II you are not a subscriber,

brush, but of the best hog bristle. The
animals are irst scraped over with the
currycomb and then brushed. In ad-
dition, the udders of all COWS ought to
be washed and dried before milking.
and the mixers ought TO dip their
hands in cold water after milking each
animal. Care must be taken to COM
pletely empty the udder when the cow
is MIXED. In large establishments
where several mixers are employed it
is advisable to select one or two of the
more careful persons to strip the COWS
after they have been MIXED. BY this
means the carelessness of some of the
mixers may be corrected. Each mixer
should have his own stool and pail
marked or numbered, and should be
held responsible for the cleanliness of
the same. The milk ought to be poured
from the pail into the milk cans
through double hair strainer, the milk
ought, if possible, to be placed outside
the cow house, Connecticut Farmer.

BEE KEEPING

Few people in America realize the
Importance of bee-keeping industry.
It is estimated that Europe produces
about SIS, 600, 900 worth of wax and
honey, and that a similar sum results
from the benefits conferred by the fer
tilizing habits of the bees. So highly
is this industry esteemed abroad that
Germany has 100000 hives; Spain,
100000; Austria, 1850, ,OO9; France,
950,0O0; Holland, 24O, 900; Russia, ,11O,
0e0; Denmark, 10000; Belgium, 2OO,-
600; Greece, 10000. These countries
practically consume their own honey
crop. There is no reason why our
consumption should not be proportion
ately great. The chief obstacle is the
general ignorance of the value of honey
as food and the use of it only as an oc-
casional treat instead of an article of
daily food.

THE APPROACHING SUGAR SEASON.
The New Orleans Picayune says:
"The time is now rapidly approaching
when the Louisiana sugar crop will be
ready for market. 1t is true that the
next three or four weeks will exert a
considerable influence upon the ulti-
mate size of the yield, but the fields
are now in condition and at a period
of the season where fair idea of the
promise of the crop can be arrived at.
From present appearances people in a
position to be we'll posted are of opinion
that the coming sugar crop will fall
little short of that of last year, but
will prove as large if not a larger than
the crop of 1893, which amounted to
100000 tons. A large crop is there
fore promised, even if it does fall
trif1e short of the bumper yield of last
season.
