LIVERPOOL, ENG. March 11.-The
British steamer Lake Winnipeg, from ST.
John, II. B., February IA, arrived here to-
day, having consumed twenty-five days
on the voyage.
Her commander, Captain Taylor, re-
ports having had one of the roughest
voyages in his experience. The heavy
seas, which washed over the ship, partly
filed her engine-rooms with water and
shifted ner cargo, making it necessary to
call upon the passengers to help remove
the water and right the vessel.
For more than two weeks the ships fires
were out, and owing to the scarcity OF
drinking water and the failure OF th e con-
densers to work it became necessary 10

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL.
March 1.-THE farming class about
Stanford University predict al unusually
large crop this year. Mr. Reynolds, the
efficient manager of the Palo Alto estate.
in speaking OF the farming outlook said :
The indications are that the yield OF
barley and hay will be nearly double the
usual crop. On the hillsides and eravelly
soil the grain has a splendid start. With
the warm weather of the coming mouths
the prospects could not he better. Had il
not been for the recent cold spell the
growth would have been too dense. The
grain in the hollows has been drowned
out and it necessitated replanting.
"If we have much more frost, however,
there is no telling how much damage will
be done the early fruits. The almonds
and apricots will suffer most. There is
an almond orchard among the foothills
southwest of here that has already been
seriously damaged by the frost.
1T is too early to form an idea as to the
probable yield of grapes. The buds have
not set as yet. A frost last year reduced
the crop to one-fifth the usual output
