PHYLLoxERA DISAPPEARS.

Mature Now Does what Mem Have Long

Nature is doing for California vine.
yardists what they long and fruitlessly
tried to do for themselves. 1t is re-
ported from many localities that the
phylloxera, the most serious pest that
has ever attacked the vines, is dying
out. The experts have tried every
remedy to stay the progress Of this
pest, but without avail, and six years
ago the vineyardists Of the Sonoma and
Napa valleys plowed up all their vines
and replantcd the ground with resist
ant stock. The experts believed that
all non-resistant vines were doomed
to destruction by the phylloxera. But
reports have recently come to the state
inspector Of orchard pests that ma
tesial falling OF in the ravages Of the
pest has been noticed for some time.
Vines once affected by it are now al
most free. The inspector has begun
q thorough investigation of the pleas
ing phenomena He thinks some nat
ural enemy OF the pest has appeared
or that some deadly disease has at
tackled the phylloxera and is extermin-
ating It. Whatsoever is the cause, the re-
suit will mean great gain for the vine
yardists.

An amusing correspondence recently
took place between q Wisconsin farmer

wrote as follows: "Dere Sires I have !

dolers fer an engin thnt will do nv

what sort Of an engine he wanted. The
boiler firm saw that the engine nece.-
sary to accomplish the devastation 81

and they informed him to this eject a
week passed and then the following

Cattle On Ocsan Voyages % Receive the
Bsst Of Cars and Attention.
The improvement In the arrange
ments made for the protection Of ami
mails during the voyage across the At
lantic are said by Mr.. Tennan, principal
Of the animals division Of the board Of
agriculture, to have fairly kept pace
with the increase Of the trade. During
the early days, according to the London
News. the losses. owing to tempestuous
weather, bad ventilation and other
causes, were often Of q very serious
character, and in some cases resulted
in the destruction of the entire living
cargo. AS experience was gained, how
ever, an improvement took place. and
since the year 1859, when the losses
among cattle amounted to no less than
Fl Of every thousand that we've en-
barked, there has been q steady de-
crease in the mortality among this class
of animals, until, in 1898, it was re-
duced to three per Thousand, and dur
ing the year 1894 to five per thousand.
Sheep are at all times bad travellers
when compared with cattle, the losses
among them during long journey be-
ing almost always large, and during
the five years in question the average
losses amounted to 20 per thousand.
Notwithstanding the fact, however.
that the importation during 1894 in
creased nearly eight-fold, and leaped
up to upward of 4OO, 900, the losses dur
ing the past year only amounted to II
