1erino Wool Decrease in Australia.
The annual wool trade review issued
BY Messrs. Winchcombe, Carson & Co.,
OF Sydney, New South Wales, calls at
tention to the decrease in merino wool
in that part of Australasia, and the
relative increase Of crossbred woods.
It says:
There are now so many different
degrees Of cross existing that the old
New England type of wool seems in
danger Of losing its identity altogether.
Many solicitors have actually bred
from crossbred rams. Result, chaos.

cent Of the sheep in the Argentine Re-
public are now crossbreds, and about
Is per cent Of the New Zealand sheep
are either crossbreds or long-wools.
Consequently the man who breeds for
a crossbred wool abandons the class of
staple which can be grown nowhere
to such perfection as in Australia in
favor Of a commoner grade which IL

to submit the grain to a bath of vitriol
and lime water just before time for
sowing. All the wheat sown is spring
grain, hence the bath is given after the
seed has been stored in the granary
during the winter. The bath is made
by dissolving ten pounds Of vitriol and
an equal amount of lime in a barrel
OF water to make enough for one ton
of wheat The barrel is filed almost
full Of this solution and the wheat is
Dipped in and allowed to thoroughly
saturate and then spread out to dry.
Some farmers use a tin bucket or coal

bottom. Others shovel the barrel full
Of wheat, and after leaving it stand

Il put on the top, the frost is coon
taken out Of the surface soil and the
temperature will be high enough to
induce decay. The secret Of success
with the winter storage of celery is to
keep cool. As the severe weather Of
winter approaches. the covering Of lit
ter may be increased unless there il q
fall of snow.
To open the beds take the litter OF
nom one end. break the crust Of soil
with q pickaxe. and remove any de-
sired amount Of celery. Then care
FULLY replace the covering. This plan
has the merit Of cheapness, and for
holding plants through the winter is
preferable in a pit or cellar. If the
plants are to be disposed of a. early
as January, they may be stored in .
cool cellar or pit. In this case the
plants are set very closely together on
loose moist Loan. To avoid heating
consequent on packing large Quanti-
ties Of the plants together. compart-
ments about two feet wide by eight or
ten feet long are made by setting up
boards, which shall come to the tops
OF the plants when In place. II the
plants are closely packed so as to ex-
clude the air it is unnecessary to use
boards between them. When pants
are stored in this way it is necessary
to keep the temperature of the pit or
cellar as near the freezing point Is
possible. II, however, it is desired to
hasten the process of blanching. the
temperature Of the place may be
raised. The soil in which the plants
are placed should be kept moist to
prevent whiting, but tie foliage should
always be kept dry, or there will be
trouble from rotting.

The Mushroom Season.


The mushroom season has opened
with a good supply of this delicious
vegetable. Years differ very greatly
In this respect. During the last five
years We have had three mushroom
seasons. They we're 1894, 1896 and
1898. The years 1895 and 1897 were
on years. so to speak. The lack of
rains during the summer and early fall
made it impossible for the mycelium
to develop. At least this was the con-
dition in Northern Illinois, and We
presume the same was true over q
wide extent of country. Good rains are
necessary some weeks before the fruit
OF the mushroom appears, for the plant
itself Is Of slow development.
1t would be Of value to our readers
If they would educate themselves on
the wild mushrooms. At present
Agaricus Melleus is growing in large
quantities in the vicinity of Northern
Illinois and We doubt not throughout
the whole country. This mushroom is
described in a report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for 1891. It is a
honey colored mushroom of great pro-
Efficacy. We will not try to describe
It, for we think it unsafe for our read
ers to attempt to gather this or any
other mushroom on word descriptions.
The government publishes colored
plates Of the principal mushrooms
that are good for food. In this way
one could be about certain of the
variety he is gathering. If any of our
readers wish to take up the subject
at this time, We would advise them to
send to Washington for reports on
mushrooms. We will add a word of
caution: Do not take any chances on
varieties that you do not know, and do
not trust any Of the rules that are
given for determining good and bad
mushrooms. Such rules are very dead
ly. as they fail at the very point where
they are supposed to be strong. Take
for instance the rule that says put q
teaspoon in the cooking mushroom and
II 1t be poisonous it will turn the SPOON
black or at least discolor It. One of
the deadly Amanitas will do no such
thing, but nevertheless 1t is as deadly
as a rattlesnake, no antidote having
been found for it.

lean C~oaIing station i'm Samoa.

The present potentate Of Pago-Pago.
where the United States nave a coaling
station I'm the Samoan archipelago, is so
inflated with a characteristic Samoan
sense Of his own greatness that he re-
CARDS himself as an independent sover-
eign, a fact that may tend to complicate
affairs when the navy assumes its right
To maintain a coaling and refitting sta
ton in that bay of Tutuila. 1t was only
after much fighting and more pickering
debate, the latter by no means yet end
ed. that the present chief secured the
title OF Maunga, the mountain, which
is the official designation of the chief Of
the hamlet of Pago-Pago, and carries
with it to a forceful chief the rule over
that half of Tutuila which lies east of
PagO-Pago. He is physically a large
man and has shown himself able to sus-
ain his part in war; but then it was
Samoan war in which Oratory and in
trigue count for far more than bravery.
He is of low birth. and lacks that for
NAL courtesy and quiet restraint which
were formerly characteristic of all rul-
ing chiefs and still survive in a few who
nave kept remote from the disturbances
of the last 20 years. He is Of a coarse
and hot temper, and has cOntrived to
keep his position only through the vio-
lence of his words and deeds.
Maunga regards himself so highly that
he refuses allegiance to the constituted
government of Samoa, and looks upon
King Malietoa as no more than an equal
in rank, n a feeble equal at that.
SO far as concerns the American coaling
rights i'm his bay he makes no OPPOSE
ton, but insists that they are based not
on the Berlin act, which he processes
not to accept, but on the Narragansett
treaty, entered into in 1873 between the
Maunga of hat time and Captain b. w.
Meade. He makes loud professions of
his friendship for the United States, but
i'm utter scorn Of the authorized govern
ment of Samoa, claims that he and
America are friends because they have
entered into a treaty together. This
claim he never puts forward before
white officials, but in native debates he
has more than once gained his point by
insisting that he has the backing of the
government Of America.
In one particular Manga is capable
of making trouble at the outset of the
Te-establishment of the coaling station.

about "a general disarmament Of the

In one respect America will miss him.
He has always been the friend and ad-

THE RED RIVER VALLEY.

When the incomparably rich Red
River Valley is farlned something af-
ter the manner of New England's
sterile hills; that is, when rotation
and close, careful cultivation take the
place of the present weed
system of farming, that region will
astonish the world with it's produc-
tions and productivity. In that sweet
by-and-by, that is sure to come, there
will be less than half the acres of
wheat grown there but probably
double the number of bushels. The
other half of the acres in the mean
time will, in part, be receiving the
cultivation between rows of corn that
will insure clean fields for wheat the
next year, and other parts will be in
pastures where clover is devoting it's
wonderful alchemy to the enrichment
of soil with material gathered from
the "emty, vast and wonderful air :"
and others to other grains that are
nursing into strength and usefulness
a new generation of grass and clover,
and furnishing the wherewithal to
feed through the winter the live stock
that must be large factor in the sys-
tenn of farming that alone will enable
the ''Valley of the Red' to realize it's
agricultural possibilities. When the
richness of that soil can be devoted to
useful crops only, when the same
field is not required to grow a good
crop of wheat, big one Of wild mus
tard and bumper one of French
weed the same year, then all will be-
gin to realize how marvelously rich
that region is, and how it's natural
powers have been neutraized by bad
methods, and methods that must be
radically changed if>the realization is
to ever materialize.
But this change, necessary and de-
sirable as it is, cannot he accomplish
