An important fact is discussed bya writ
er in The Manufacturers Review VIZ,
that wool after it Is shorn and clcanacd
preparatory TO the carding and spinning
processes, is capable of being highly
charged with electricity, and that though
tho phenomena resulting from this charac
tcristIc are familiar to all cardcrS the in
nucnce of thisagcnt is oitcntimcs so active
as to Interfere materially with the wori;ing
Of the wool. The fact, however, that wool
when thoroughly wet or we'll fabricated,
either artiiiciaily or with its own natural
grease shows no effects from the presence
of electricity, may be considered as cstub-
fishing the fact that in all grades Of wool
the susceptibility to the influence of cleo
tricity increases in the ratio of drync5s or
absence of lubricating material in the
fiber or, in other words, to its freedom
from the moistcning effect Of oil or water,
while sufficient moisture properly applied
will not only prevent all the evil effects of
electricity in wool, but will destroy every
evidence of its existence in both the picker
and cardroOms. The writer adds that by
making the feed light in bulk speeding
the feed roll and doffcrs faster for II quick
speed and quick delivery, and reducing the
speed of the main cylinders, tumblers,
fancics and the vibrating motions of the
condenser, tho effects in question are done
away with

In q Kansas station bulletin is given
alCcOrd OF experiments conducted three
consecutive years to test the relative
value for seed Of tubcrs from the first
crop and from the second crop. By carly
planting of early varieties seed potatoes
were secured il July sufficiently maturod
to produce a second crop in the same
season. The second crop WAS light, the
tubers often small, but firm and of fine
quality. Second crop potatoes kept until
planting time, were sound, firm and
nearly free from sprouts, while the or
binary crop became badly sprOuted and
shriveled. In most cases second crop po-
tatoes used as seed gave a larger yi2ld
than seed tubers from the first crop,
the increase in 1890 and 1891 averaging
49, per cent From second crop seed
potatoes the growth of tops was larger
and the blooms more abundant. Second
crop seed, allowed to become sprouted
and soft before planting, yielded only
If per cent more than ordinary seed po
tatOes.
Flat culture and hill culture gave
practically tho same yield.

You can purchase subsOil plows Of
any implement dealer There are also
attachments made that may be put on
ordinary stirring plows. These general
ly give very good satisfaction.
As to the time of year to do the work,
that depends on the soil and other cir
cumstances the same as i'll ordinary
blowing A correspondent of Farm
Field and Fireside says that it may be
done every year or only once in two or
three years as circumstances will per-
nit Subsoil blowing is loosening tho
subsoil without bringing it to the sur
face Where the loosened subsoil is laid
on the surface, it is called trench plow-
ing. Subsoiling is probably advisable
on larger variety of soils in this coun-
try than is trench blowing On un'
drained soils it often is worse than use
less, unless in rare cases. where there is
a thin layer of compact soil above por-
Gus soil. In heavy clay soils the effects
are not permanent. In deep, loose soils
the practice may do some good, but not
always enough to repay the extra cost.

AUSTRALIAN TRIBUTE TO YER
MONT BLOOD.

From American Wool aud Cotton Rcporter'l
Much has been said from time to time
i'm these columns as to the praise worthy
efforts of leading Australian sheep breed
ers to encourage the use of high class
sheep of our Vermont strain among their
huge Mcrino flocks. None have done so
much in this direction AS Alex. Mactar
land of Barooga, y. ;. Wales; aud sam
uel McCaughev of GoOlglumbia anu
Coonong, in the Riverina district of that
colony. a recent visitor to Coonong
station, after eXpatlating on its many
attractive features, says: Coonong con-
sists of about $1,000 acres, well grassed
and amply supplied with running water
and completely encircled by rabbit proof
fencing. Any one who has seen the
Coonong locks (about 10000 head can
have but one opinion, that for American
sheep of the very highest class Mr.. Nc
Caughev stands alone Cone might ask,
where does Mr.. Macfarland "come in
after this sweeping assertion. but let
that pass. The drawing room is full
of prizes taken at the prin ,pal sheep eX-
hibitions for years past. The sheep may
be described generally as cross between
the celebrated Nermonts and pure bred
Australian Mernos; for in all his eXpe-
rience he has found none TO equal these,
either for heavy neeces of fine quality
wool, or for monetary value. The wool
in the first instance is more pleasing to
the eye than the pure-bred, and besides
this the introduction of the Vermont
strain to the Australian Merino has in
creased the density of growth and COW
ering of points. without shortening the
staple. Mr.. McCaughey has sold these
sheep at from $3.50 to $1,000 each, while
for choice ram he considers $4,000 a
fair price. and for a eve which cut a
fleece of 3l4 pounds at five years old, no
figure could he named to induce sale.
These sheep look as if thick coils OF
cable rope had been wound around them
from nose to tail, and the shearers call
them "Concertinas."

THE NEW WOMAN OF UTAH
She May Vote Upon the Proposed
Constitution
Piucky Female Compels, by nandamus,
Her Name to Be Placed Upon
the Registration Books

SALT LAKE, Aug. 10. j udge Smith
OF the fourth district court handed down
a decision today at Ogden declaring that
women in Utah had a right to vote for
the ratification or rejection of the new con-
stitution and also for the officers of the
proposed state The suit was brought by
Mrs. Sarah Anderson against the regis
tration officer of the second precinct of
Ogden. 1t was a special proceeding by
mandamus requiring the registration Off
Ger to place her name on the registration
books as a voter. The registration off.
Ger appeared by counsel and led de-
murrer. This brought the case up
squarely on the question of woman suff-
rage.
After reviewing the case at great
length, the judge says:
There is no doubt whether congress
ever intended by the enabling act to pro-
vide an electorate for selecting the first
officers OF the state of Utah. In fact 1t
would seem that such was not the inten-
tion.
''As to the question of who shall be en-
titled to vote upon the constitution, the
second section of the ena bling act prov
ldes that all male persons in the territory
prior to Novem Der, 1894. shall be entitled
to vote. and section four of the enabling
act provides that qualified voters Of the
proposed state shall vote for or against
the constitution.
The plaintiff in the case possesses all
the constitutional qualifications, and il
seems clear that she is entitled to vote
upon the constituti on and certainly Tor
officers of the state.''
A peremptory writ of mandate was
ordered requiring the defendant to regis
ter che plaintiff as an elector of the Sec
ond precinct.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 10. = Only
meager details have been received from
the burning district west and south of
here. The wires went down yesterday
and the only method of communication
is by messenger. The city is covered by
dense smoke and showers OF fine ashes
are falling continuously. Thus far two
deaths have been reported. Lars Peterson
and Thomas White were riding on log
ging train near Shelton when the train
went through burning trestle. The en-
gineer and fireman escaped. Peterson
and White we're burned in the wreck.
Simpson's logging camp was burned out
completely and the heavy draft horses
were saved only by the heroic efforts of
the men who rode them through the
flames. The men saved their clothing
aad personal property by digging trench
es. All logging rallraods are blocked by
falling timber. Heavy winds famed the
fire through the dry timber until the roar
ing of the flames is heard miles away and
the quick successive falling of the giant
trees resembles the noise Of battle.
AT Summit, fifteen miles west of here,
several ranches have been destroyed anG
fear is expressed for the safety of some
settlers whose escape by the road is cut
off. Millions of feet Of valuable imber
have been lost.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.-James J.
Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons had an
impromptu set-to tonight in the bar room
of GREEN'S hotel, but neither man was
injured. Both are stopping at GREEN'S
hotel. Corbett reached this city about
IL 80 tonight from Wilmington, where he
spared four rounds with John McVey.
He in company with his brother Joe and
some friends, went down to their hotel.
where they met Fitzsimmons in the bar
room. Corbett walked up to the New
Zealander and said: "Well, you'Ie shoot
ing your mouth again about me funking
out of that bicy Gle race, and that you
would pull my nose. Now I'll do some
nose-pulling." and with this remark the
big champion gave Roberts nose a smart
tweak. The two men clinched, but before
any damage had been done they were
separated. Fitzsimmons then turned upon
Joe Corbett who Lad grabbed the lanky
fighter and attempted to butt him with
his head. Joe broke away from Fitzsim-
mons, at the same time saying: "You
big ---- -, you can't whip me,
to say nothing of my brother" Fitz-
simmons reached around. picked up
decanter and hurled it at Joe Curpett, bu1
it went wide of its mark. He then
grabbed caster and was in the act of
throwing 1T at young Corbett, when he
was seized by special officer. When the
quarrel had apparently been smoothed
over, Jim Corbett walked over to Fitzsim-
mons and spat in his face. The New
Zealander was apparently not anxious to
tackle the Champion and Fitzsimmons
was taken ou. of the hotel by friends.

LOCKPORT BADLY SDORCHED
Business Portion of the Town Entirely
Wiped Out
The Losses VIII Reach $500, 900, About
Two-Thirds of Which Is Covered
By Insurance

LOCKPORT, ILL.,. Aug. 10.-The busi-
ness portion OF this place was completely
destroyed by fire today, entailing loss
of 5000. 900, of which about ono.half or
two.thirds is covered by insurance. The
fire started in the roof of building
owned by J. s. Mcdonald, where some
timers at work use a small gasoline stove
and set portion of the roof on fire. They
en"eavored to put out the flames with
blankets and coats, but it was too much
fol them and in a few minutes they were
glad to let the fire alone and run for their
lives. The town has no fire protection
except some crude hand apparatus. and
in IA snort time after its start the flames.
famed by strong wind, swept the flames
through the buildings and carried every
thing in it's path. Two engine companies
were sent from Chicago. one from Joliet
and one from Lemont. The fire had
eaten up most of the business portion of
the town when the engines arrived. 1t
was extinguished without much trouble
within an hour after the Chicago enignes
arrived. By the time the fire was
checked, however. 1t made wilderness
of the business part OF the town.
