The imports OF rice into the United
States for the eight months ending
March 1 we're 4S,O43 short tons, az
against 64,OS7 tons during the same
time the previous year. Included in
this were 22,255 tons of clean rice,
against 9S,792 tons during the same
time the year before. There were a.
900 tons of rice flour, rice meal and
broken rice imported, as against 90, 141
tons the year before. The notable fea-
ture of these imports is the falling off
in the imports of cleaned rice from 49,
1872 tons in 1S94-95 to 22,255 tons during
the same period in 1886. The low
prices at which homegrown rice has
oeen selling seem to have had the effect
Of diminishing the imports of compet-
ing rice to the extent of some $4,000
tons. Our annual consumtion of rice,
domestic and foreign, is estimated al
about 100000 to 10000 tons These
reduced imports would seem to indi-
cate comparatively bare rice market
this summer and better prices than last
year when the new crop shall begin to
come in.

Miss NJ. 4. Braddon, writing for the
Philadelphia Bulletin, says the right
Of woman to propose involves heavy
responsibility. 1t obliges the lady to
take her sweetheart to the opera, to give
him confectionery, and perhaps to sup
ply him with beer and tobacco. To do
this correctly the lady must pay the
necessary expenses, and therefore the
old way is the best and the popping
must be done by the old-fashioned man.
Sordid thingl AS if money were to be

Dean Henry of the Agricultural
school has issued a statement to
farmers telling them how to kill the
army worm. There is no use trying
to do anything while the worms are in
the field. They must be attacked
while on their way to new feeding
grounds. A deep furrow should be
plowed in the direction the warns are
going, making the wall of the furrow
so straight that when the worms at
tempt to climb 1t they will fall back:
as they accum ulate in the ditch log
should be dragged along its bottom
which will crush the worms and thus
destroy them. The worms may also
be destroyed by sprinkling Paris green
on the heritage where they are feeding
but this endangers the life of the
farm stock which may Craze on such
pastures. In grain fields where the
worms crawl up the stems they are
sometimes held in check by two
persons taking rope and stretching
it across a part of the field, pass for
ward dragging the rope over the heads
of grain, which will spring back as the
rope passes over and throw the worms
to the ground. This process must be
repeated as often as the worms climb
mp the stem. The chief remedy used
is that of checking their march by the
use OF the furrow and crushing by the
log or pole drawn in the furrow.

The question is asked by a Sawyer
organ. what Robert NJ. La Toilette
has done for the state. Let US tell
you. While the two Wisconsin
senators were planning with the
oleomarga rine lobbyist Payne to de-
feat the oleomargarine bill by side
tracking or pigeon-holing it in COM
mittee Bob La Toilette and l.. b.
Caswen were championing it on the
floor of the House. That constitutes
the difference between a representa-
tive of the people and the sympathizers
Of corporation interests. Il Toilette
voted for the interstate commerce
law. Spooner. undoubtedly with the
advice and consent of his silent
partner Sawyer, moved to strike from
that law the long and short haul
clause which constitutes the meat
and essence Of it. For proof of this
see Spooner's speech in the Congress
sional Record Of May 5. 1856, ia which
he favored striking out of the bill the
NOiuS Anu rum thC oaAhC VI = ma
point of departure. Farmers ought
to study the meaning Of those words,
and they viii learn that by striking
them out the old rates on grain from
local stations on the Omaha Road 10
Chicago. which were often twice what
the rate was from Minneapolis 10
Chicago through those local stations,
might have been retained. The paid
attorney of the read could not have
taken a more ultra railroad position
on the question. These are couple
Of the distinctions between La
Toilette and some men that are
opposing him. More can be produced
if wanted. The record is q public one.

The age of fish is almost unlimited,
observed an official of the Fish Com
mission in reply to a question. Prof.
Baird devoted a great deal of time TO
the question as to the length Of life of
fish, and he found that the ordinary
carp if not interfered with would live
500 years. In his writings ON the
subject he stated that there are now
living In the royal aquarium in Russia
several carp that are known to be
over 300 years old; that he had as
certained in a number of cases that
whales live to be over 200 year old. A
gentleman in Baltimore has had an
ordinary gold fish for 63 years, and his
father informed him that he had
purchased it over 40 years before it
came into his possession.-EX.
