Current Weekly Comment.

PoTAToEs.-Receipts, 81, 900 bushels. The
receipts have been larger the past week and
receivers have been forcing sales at every
opportunity without much regard to price.
CoRN-Receipts, 304, 233 bushels; stock in
elevators, 242, 428 bushels; exports, 271 GIL
bushels. The demand is quiet, but spot
offerings are moderate and are kept well
cleaned up.
OATs.-Receipts, 1921 bushels; stock in
elevators, 1855 bushels; exports, SO, 1853
bushels. A fair demand is noted, but buy
ers are not operating ahead OF meeting pres
emit demands
FLoUR.-Receipts, 22,49O barrels. 24,S5O
Sacks exports. 4,214 barrels "a $40 sacks.
The market continues dull, with very few
sales making from the fact that buyers have
no use for the goods.
EGGs.-Recsipts, 81 ,035 cases. Receipts
are running very heavy and large proper
ton OF the arrivals are of ordinary quality
We are still having dragging trade and
prices have settled little lower.
CHEEsE.-Receipts, $3.50 boxes; for ex-
port, 951 boxes. There has been a little
more demand for fine old stock OF late and
the market is cleaning up slowly at steady
prices. Receipts OF new are moderate.
BUTTER. = Receipts, 1,1O1, $50 pounds.
Trade has been quiet since our last report
and stocks have accumulated. There is but
little speculative demand as yet. Prices
have ruled steady, but at the close the feel
ing is not quite 80 strong as it has been.
HAY AND STRAw.-Receipts, 243 cars hay,
3 cars straw. There is a firm tone to
choice sound hay and such will sell at full
prices. The supply of choice is moderate
but the market is yet heavily stocked with
medium and lower grades, and for such
values are weak. Rye straw is scarce.
WooL.-Sales for the week, 1,751 100
pounds. The market was never more quiet
or devoid of interest. Buyers are staying
out of the market and nursing their credits
and bank accounts, and there are very few
who will pay cash even for bargains. The
trade for the most part is badly scared over
the financial future, and this feeling is not
only checking sales of wool but sales Of
goods.
LUMBER-In boards there is compare
lively little doing. There should be good
demand for this stock, but there is not.
Hemlocks and pines are the varieties that
should be in the best request, but they are
not Box boards of all kinds are slow of
sale The larger grades are comparatively
the frmer, but even they are neglected.
Prices are depressed on this class of stock
as much as they have been at any time this
year The box manufacturers have had
rather poor season of it.

A LabOrer's Garden.

A writer in the Massachusetts Spy
describes the garden of an Italian
laborer in the city of Worcester. The
lot was one hundred fifty feet wide by
fifty, with the house in the center. The
man worked on it morning and even
ing, the wife and children doing the
wedding and other light work. The
walk to the front door was under a
rustic archway covered by running
beans; the walk to the side.door was
bordered by radishes and lettuce, and
backed by grape vines. These were
also on other borders, and there were a
few peach trees. Peas were planted in
early March, and were ready to pick in
June. Tomatoes and cabbages were
set along the border after the radishes
and lettuce were gone. AT the side of
the house were several rows OF bush
beans and hills of summer squash.
At the back of the lot was some sweet
corn. A larger circular bed in front of
the house contained beets and carrots
in alternate circles, presenting an artis-
tic effect. The Trimmings furnished
greens for long time, and as the main
roots were for winter use, the bed re-

Protection for American Hay,

Farmers are appealing to congress for
increased protection for their hay.
Thousands of petitions have been in
circulation in the country in the past
few weeks, signed by hundreds OF thou
sands of farmers, asking congress to
increase the duty on hay, because of
the enormous increase in the importa
tions of hay, mostly from Canada,
since the repeal of the Mckinley law.
The rate of duty on hay under the Nc
Kinley tariff was four dollars per ton.
In the year following the enactment
of that law the importations of hay
dropped from 5000 tons TO 10000
tons. The Wilson law reduced the
duty to So per ton and the result has
been an enormous increase in the i'm
portations of hay. The amount Of hay
brought into the country since the
enactment of the Wilson law has been
more than double what it was in the
corresponding length of time under
the Mckinley law. The official figures
for the first seventeen months of the
Wilson law show total importation Of
373,S60 tons of hay, against l4O ,OS3 tons
in the last seventeen months of the
Mckinley law. This is an increase of
233,773 tons. 1t will thus be seen that
the importations under the new law,
by reason of the reduction in the tariff
rates, have increased more than $50
per cent, and that nearly two million
dollars, which would otherwise have
gone to the farmers of the United
States, have left the country for the
benefit of foreign farmers.-American
Economist.

NAMED undisturbed till fall, and was as
handsome as any collection of foliage
plants. After the corn was taken off,
turnips were sown, and winter cabbage
set out from plants grown in boxes.
After these were pulled in the fall, and
over most of the land, rye was sown
and dug in the spring to enrich the
land. No potatoes were raised, they
taking up too much room for small re-
turns. Flowers we're not forgotten. A
large clump of red hollyhocks bloomed
by the front windows, and the little
woodshed was hidden behind dahlias
and sunfowers. The neatness and or
der of this little garden marked the
owner as man Of thrift, with an eye
for beauty as well as utility.-Country
Gentleman.

About the Oats and Peas.

Some time since we spoke of the
catch crop of oats and peas for late
feeding, and our liking for it as an aid
in maintaining the milk flow. We
have been lately reading up in relation
to them, and now think that either as a
soiling crop, or one to be harvested in
the usual way of farm crops, there are,
including clover, no crops which can
be grown upon the farm that will re-
turn so much of the needed nitrogen
quality with which to balance the ra-
tons as these crops, and the beauty OF
the thing is that all can be home
grown. Clover in itself is almost a bal
anced ration, to SO, while in pea-vine
hay the ratio is l to 7, and oats are not
greatly dissimlar. So it is seen that
with good ration of corn fodder, and
these other foods, with some OF the
grain from the peas and oats, the COW
has a well-balanced ration, and home
grown. AS cow of l 900 pounds needs
about two and one-half pounds OF pro-
tein, twelve pounds of starchy matter,
and three-fourths of pound OF fat
daily, it would need a 35-pound ration
of either the clover hay, or the peas
and oats hay, but in dry food this is
too bulky to be best digested; some
added pea or oat meal would be better,
and cut down the hay by at least ten
pounds. In general way. oats and
peas, with clover, make an almost per-
feet fall feed, and the man with the
dairy cannot go wrong who calls in
these three crops as an aid to the
cheaper production of milk.-Practical

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Gentleman says: l built hen-house
several years since, and to prevent rats
from digging in from below, l removed
the surface soil (the building being SET
on brick walD and then put in tin
wasteior old sheet-iron, roofing iron, old
stovepipe, ETC., enough to keep rats
from digging through; and then COW

To THE REcHABITEs OF EAST VIR-
GINA DISTRICT:

At the annual meeting of this
District held at SaXes in July, your
representatives saw fit to elect me to
the Office OF Chief Ruler, an Office |
did not seek after but rather stunned
from accepting, and only my love for
the temperance cause and the cause
of Rechabism induced Inc to accept.
The Office carries with it great
many cares and anXieties, and l am
going to ask you to bear some Of these
with me.
Anyone who has passed the chair
of District Chief Ruler knows that
the great anxiety OF the Chief Ruler
is that his District should be pros
porous, and ! know that if you share
with me this burden, this anxiety,
and respond to the call Of the Spirit
as it says: go work in My vineyard"
we shall reap such a harvest as was
was never before known in our Dis
trict. Will you do it? Will each in
dividual Son and Daughter of
Rechabites see to it that no stone is
left unturned to advance our cause.
Brethren the fields are white unto
harvest, one mighty effort and that
harvest is ours, and we shall roll up
such membership that We will De
proud Of.
Our opportunities for doing some
thing for the Master are many, for
nowhere are they cursed with the
saloon as are we; in d local option
county, whisky is doing its damn
ing work despite the fact that the
people Of Accomac said there should
be no saloon; even as [ write the
blood of the Innocent calls from the
ground for vengeance; mothers pray
ers are ascending TO Almighty God,
praying for a way for the escape OF
her erring boy and all around us can
be seen the terrible effects OF drink
and saloon, and my prayer is that
God will roll upon you The burden
of the sutferings OF our people and
get into the arnor and fight.

Daniel Norris Dead.

On Tuesday OF last week, January 7th,
1896, Daniel Norris, third son of Robert
Norris, OF Paradise Settlement, died at
the home of his parents after ten-day
struggle with typhoid fever. He had
three hemorrhagos of the bowels and
the third one robbed the above home OF
an obedient son and an affectionate
brother. The deceased was born in
Paradise Settlement on the 3lst OF
October, 1865, and was, therefore, 20
years, months and days old. Funer-
al services were held at the Zion G. p.
church at 200 p. NJ. Thursday, conduct
ed by Rev. H. G. Teagarden, of Olive
burg. The p. of H. Of Paradise, OF
which the deceased was an active and
honored member, had charge of the
funeral services. The church was too
small to accommodate the large con-
course Of friends and neighbors who
wanted TO witness the last sad rites over
the remains Of one whom they held in
high esteem. The funeral procession
was the largest one seen in that section
for sometime; there were about seventy
five conveyances in line. The last
words spoken by the deceased was: 81
am going home.'
Mary Norris, sister of the young man
whose death is chronicled in this
article, who was convalescing from a
severe attack Of typhoid fever and had
only been out Of bed week, was so
shocked by the death Of her brother
that she lost her reasoning faculties.
The doctors think as she gains bodily
strength her reason will return to her.
The home Of Robert Norris is now a
very sad one.

Instantly Killed.

s. A. Green, Of Big Run, returned
from hunt last Friday at noon and
laid the gun down to take off his over
coat, and in few seconds after the gun
had been laid down Mr.. Green's four
year-old son was lying on the floor with
the right side Of his face shot off. While
the father was taking Off and hanging
up his overcoat five-year-old son
dragged the shotgun into another room,
followed by three other children. The
boy laid the gun across the cradle in
which the baby was lying and began
playing with the hammer and trigger
and discharged the gun. Riley, the
four-year-old was looking into the bar
rel of the gun and was instantly killed.
Some of the stray shot struck Mr.. Green
and two of his children.

Took the Oath Last Week.

On Monday Of this week Judge Reed
took the oath of Office as president Judge
Of the several courts of Jefferson county,
for term of ten years. He now occu-
pies the bench alone, and to an on
locker there is an appearance of loneli-
ness around him, after seeing three
judges on the bench in our courts for
more than half century. After the
Judge had been sworn in, and remarks
had been made by him and several
members of the bar complimentary to
the retiring associate judges, on motion
Of E. A. Carmalt, Esq, the rules of the
court were suspended, and Judge Tru-
man and Judge Henderson were admit
ted as attorneys in the several courts Of
the county. This action was a graceful
compliment to these gentlemen, who
have closed out long line of associate
judges in the county, and will doubtless
be the last the county will ever have

See That You Go.

II Is only matter OF few days until
the political parties OF this borough
will hold their primaries to place a
ticket in the field to fill the various
Offices of this municipality. We want
to call the attention of the citizens to
the fact that 1t is us important that
they attend the caucus of their party
and see TO IL that good men are placed
on the ticket, as It Is for them to go to
the polls on election day. It'll generally
the rule when caucus is held to make
borough ticket that the Offices have to
go begging for candidates. An Office
In this borough is a thankless position,
and in place Of words Of praise and COM
mendation, censure and contempt are
mostly the fruit therefore, yet loyal
citizens should be willing to face all
obstacles to build up our town, and to
do this we must always have IL manned
with the best officers attainable, and
the place to begin the work is in the
caucus.
A number of Governors Of the United
States were recently asked what they
would suggest along the line of good
citizenship, and the reply from Gov.
Matthews of Indiana was that "the best
thing to do is to attend the primaries. Z"
The Pittsburg Times says "If the best
men of the community will all attend
the primaries, good men will surely be
nominated and right principles be en-
bodied in the party platforms. Every
Christian man ought to be good
citizen and there is no more important
duty than that Of taking part in the
primaries. We should say that in i'm
portance 1t even procedes that of voting
at the general election itself, for at the
latter there may, owing to the neglect
of good people to attend the primaries
OF all parties, be but choice OF evil
men and measures, whereas at the pre-
liminary meetings there is chance TO
support and nominate the best measures
and men,"
See to it then that the primaries are
we'll attended
