NEW YORK, Aug. 27-Henry Clews
weekly stock letter says: The period of

ranks of Wall street operators will be
reinforced by the return of absentees 1t
would seem that they may be safely ex-
pected to resume operations only with
buoyant expectations. During their two
months of absence the whole drift of af-
fairs, both in finance and trade, has been
towards the maintenance of an active
bull campaign during the fall months.
The activity Of cur industries far exceeds
anything ever witnessed in the past; nor
is there anywhere an indication of i'm
pending overproduction or of any reac-
tionary tendency; and, what is still more
important, producers have now guar
anty they never had before, in the rapid
growth of their ability to command for
etgn outlets for any possible surplus of
supply in the home markets. At the be-
ginning of the summer there were some
uncertainties in the situation which pro-
duced degree of hesitancy in the Sc
curities market and made operators the
more willing to take a breathing spell
after several months of extraordinary eX-
element. Those obstacles have now dis
appeared. The crops, taking them as a
whole, are more than a good average.
Our grain market may be expected to re-
ceive the stimulus of another season of
short crops in other countries; and, judg-
Ing from the present temper of business
on the produce exchange, it seems posi-
BILE that while the quantity of our EXPORT

easy to exaggerate.
Again, the money market has taken q
course much more favorable than was
feared few weeks ago. Those who have

American Meat in Scotland.

The public health act of 1897 applic-
able to Scotland contains provisions
in regard to meat inspection which are
more severe than the provisions of the
public health act of 1875 applicable to
England. The Scottish law not only
gives the local sanitary officer full con-
troll over slaughterhouses but also en-
powers inspectors to enter premises
within the district of the local author
ity at any time, search any cart or We
h1cle or any barrow, basket, bag, or
parcel, and examine any animal, alive
or dead, or article intended for human
food. If it appears to him % be unfit
for human food, he may take it away
to have it dealt with by justice The
justice may condemn it and order it
to be destroyed. and impose g. penalty
on the person to whom the condemned
article belonged or in whose possession
or on whose premises it was found.
The department Of sanitary and mar
ket inspection in Edinburgh was con-
stituted on its present basis under the
public health act Of 1897, in May, 1898
During the past year, not only have
the slaughterhouses been under careful
supervision, but inspectors have paid
more than 5000 visits to the butchers
and other shops. The quantity of meat
seized or given up as unfit for human
food was 149,163 pounds. One Canad-
ian carcass was seized. Not pound OF
American meat was condemned. In
asnuch as the butchers OF Edinburgh
handle large amount OF American
chilled meat-the quantity of Ameri-
can chilled beef alone consumed in

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTURISTS
Some Up-tO-Date Hints About Gull

Horticulture.
Smut of Corn.

To the Farmers Review: What
farmer does not know corn-smut, that
cankerous growth that appears in his
cornfields every summer? But what
FARMER calculates the damage this dis
ease does? The disease is not con-
fined to tho ears alone, but
lessons the yield of the whole plant
thus affected. This fungus does not
gain access to the plant in the same
manner as oat smut enters oats. The
spores OF corn-smut germinate in the
dew upon the plants and finds entrance
to the tissues of the part in a very
short time. Once within, they grow
with great rapidity and often produce
the smut boils in three weeks from
the time they first enter. A few days
after these bOils are produced they
break and give their seed-bodies or
spores to the wind, which carries them
to new plants.
The most economical method OF
fighting this disease is to cut off and
burn all these smut masses before the
grey vail has broken. II taken at this
time the chance Of spreading the
spores Is prevented. The operation
may be done in the early part of the
season when the corn is being culti-
waited, box or basket being carried
upon the cultivator to hold the growths
removed. After the crop is laid by
boy by visiting the field once week

In hand. When eaten, the vitality OF
the seed-bodies is not destroyed. 1t
will therefore he well to have as little
smut in the fodder as possible. And
this remark applies to stover and en-
sllage. The manure In which the
spores fall seems to assist in their
termination and to carry infection to
the field. For this reason, also, have
as little 80 to the stalls and feeding
pens as possible. Common opinion
says that corn-smut produces abortion
in cows. Such. however, is not the
case, as has been proved by expert
ment with number Of pregnant and
milking cows fed excessive doses of
the growths. The general health and
the milk yield were constant and reg
ular throughout the test And if an
imals could stand these excessive doses
1t is hardly likely that the quantities
obtained by cows in ordinary cases
could be harmful. The smut contains
no ergotine nor other poisonous aka
loid, but resembles coarse folders in
composition. The cattle treated ate it
readily and in preference to grain. 1t
seems safe, therefore, to conclude that
cattle under ordinary conditions will
not suffer from eating this material.
