WHEAT FROM RUSSIA.
Brought Here by the Agricultural
Department for the Benefit of
American Farmers.

During the last year the United States
department. of agriculture has had four
agricultural explorers at work in diff
ferent parts of the world, having in
view the introduction into the United
States of such seeds and plants as may
prove to be of economic value. Prof.
Mark A. Carleton has just returned from
Russia. He is confident that some of
the seeds he secured will prove of ben
eft. He mentions a winter rye which
is grown at Ust-sisolsk, which is in
about 60 degrees north latitude. The
climatic conditions are similar to those
of Labrador. It is believed that this
rye will do well in Alaska.

Bran with COrnmeal

Where cut feed is fed to horses, a
mixture of corn and oats ground to-
gether makes the best meal to put on
the cut and mOistened hay. If the oats
are not to be had, grind the corn and
mix the meal with twice its bulk of
wheat bran. Corn meal alone is too
heavy a feed to put on cut hay, but
mixed with bran and the whole chewed,
as cut feed is sure to be, the saliva from
the horses mouth will be mixed with it
and enable it to digest without ferment-
ing in the stomach. When we fed corn
and oatmeal on cut hay to horses, we
usually put in some bran also, and think
the horses liked it better, as the COM
bination of the three feeds gave the
whole very appetizing flavor, especial
ly as hot water was used to moisten the
hay.-American Cultivator.

suits is the Kubanka wheat from the
Kuban territory, in the Volga region.
While this is a spring wheat in Russia,
It is believed it can be changed to a
winter wheat here. 1t is harder than
any of our wheats, and is the great
bread wheat of the Volga region. This
wheat needs a warm climate and is
expected to give good results in Texas,
No-Man's-Land, western Kansas and
eastern Colorado. 1t does best in Rus
.jia, where the annual rainfall is only
Is inches. In western Kansas the an
,tual rainfall is IS inches.
A variety called Polish wheat, which
was obtained, has the largest grain of
AL wheat in the world, the average
length of the kernels being about five
vixteenths of an inch. Like the Ku-
sanka, it is exceedingly hard, but is
not bread wheat. Its use is in pastry
and as a macaroni wheat. The Polish
wheat needs warm climate.
Several varieties of broom millet are
to come. These are for cold, dry eli
mates. They are grown in Russia for
the seeds principally and are used for
food in the way of soups and gruels.
1t is possible that we may thus add
something desirable to our dietary.
Two varieties of oats, the Swedish and
Tobolsk, are expected to be the thing
needful in the dry, cold regions of the
west. The government importation is
from this selected seed. The other va
riety is from Tobolsk, in the northern
part of Siberia, where it is dry and
cold.
The total importations amount to
about 80 varieties of cereals and for
age plants, besides vegetable seeds and
melons.

Manurinx in the Hill.

No coarse manure should ever be put
in the hill in contact with or under the
seed. 1t will dry out the soil and do
more harm than good. All that is need
ed in the hill is either some concen-
trated mineral fertilizer, or a very lit
tie well-rotted stable manure, made as
fine as possible and mixed well with the
soil. 1t needs very little to give the
plants vigorous start, when if the
land around the hill is made as rich as
It should be, the roots will forage for
themselves till the end of the season
of growth. In all plants that branch
much the rainfall after they have made
a growth of foot or more is away
from the hill into the middle of the
row, and where the most water goes in
midsummer there most of the feeding
roots will be found also.

BROKE THE EGG MARKET.
A Woman from Bangor Was the
Cause of Lenten Excitement
in Salem

Retail grOcers in Salem are still dis
cussing the way their egg market was
Hurried not many days ago in the height
of the Lenten season, when eggs were
beginning to get scarcer and scarcer
and the price mounted little higher
daily. Just at this time Mrs. Kirk
patrick from Bangor, Me-, arrived in
Salem to make a new home. Her hus-
band, who was a prosperous merchant
in the Pine Tree state, had sold out his
business to engage in another line in
the neighborhood of Salem. Their fami-
ly consisted of two lively boys.
Not long after Mrs. Kirkpatrick ar
rived she found the price of eggs to be
40 cents dozen-an exorbitant price in
Maine-with the prospects that they
would be still more costly. So she
wrote home to relatives and asked them
to send her few eggs at Bangor prices
30 cents a dozen. Her relatives were
generous and when the eggs arrived
Mrs. Kirkpatrick found herself con-
fronted with an entire case filled with
the best stock. what shall we do with
them?' was the question of the hour in
the Kirkpatrick household that day.
The boys finally solved the problem.
After some pleading from them, their
mother gave them baskets and allowed
them to go out on the streets of Salem
peddling Maine eggs at 80 cents dozen.
The youngsters started at noon and in
two hours had sold out. The eggs were
Drown and fine and went as fast as the
housewives had a sight of them. AS
the eggs went, so did the news. Before
many hours the information that eggs
af the best quality were selling uptown
1t 80 cents, when the market price was
getting to be considered prohibitive,
reached the storekeepers. Agents went
tbout and soon discovered the cause of
ahe trouble
To lower the price of the overdue eggs
the stores would not have had the
slightest effect in the face of the SUI
9erlority of the fresh Maine stock. The
1ealers held meetings to try to find out
where the new eggs had come from, and
it would be safe to try to buy up lot
IT them. The news spread further. The
agitation of the marketmen betrayed
hem, and a brakeman on a Boston e.
Maine train received tip. On his next
Grip up to Maine he ordered a box of
eggs sent to him in Portland, and on his
next trip but one back through Salem
ne took them off into the station to ped
lie them at 35 cents. Although there
was not very much of crowd in the
station that day the eggs were sold be-
fore the train started and the brakeman
had the cash in hand. He telegraphed
for another case and went on to Boston.
That was the last straw The next day
every grocery store in Salem was sell
-ng eggs at 80 cents, although mostly
at loss.-Boston Transcript.

A WIDOW SUES FOR INSURANCE
The Masonic Mutual Relief Associn-
tion rs Defendant.

Mrs. Louisa NJ. Scharr today through her
attorneys, Ambrose & Archer, filed suit
against the Masonic Mutual Relief Asso-
citation of the District for $1,000, claimed
on an insurance policy issued by the de-
fendant 10 George C. Scharr, the deceased
husband Of the plaintiff.
The declaration of Mrs. Scharr states
that on July 2s, 1897, the Masonic Mutual
Relief Association issued to George G..
Scharr certificate or policy Of insurance
upon the payment Of certain assessments
and dues, promising TO pay TO the plaintiff
81 600 within sixty days after satisfactory
proof of the death of the insured, George
G. Scharr. The plaintiff declares that all
the requirements and conditions imposed
by the defendant were complied with and
that all assessments whereof he had notice
were paid by the deceased, George G.
Scharr. II is, however, alleged that the
defendant did not notify the deceased of
the falling due Of the assessment next be-
fore the last. Notwithstanding this il is
stated that the deceased Scharr when the
last assessment became due rendered il
through the plaintiff but that il was re-
fused by the defendant.
1t is understood that the testimony OF
the plaintiff in this suit will be of a very
sensational character. 1t is stated that the
result of he proceedings is being closely
wached by the Masons of the District.

NEW YoRK's DEWEY RECEPTION
Fears That the International Yacht
Race May Hamper 1t.

New York, July 29.-That unusual inter
est is being manifested in the international
yacht races between the Columbia and the
Shamrock is best shown by the fact that
although the contests are more than two
months off, il is almost impossible to char
ter a steamboat or yacht for the occasion
Nearly every available boat in these waters
is contracted for Not only that, but the
ports of Boston, Providence, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore have been drawn upon un-
til about every available seaworthy steam
boat in Eastern waters has been booked for
the yacht races of October. The fact that
there is to be an international yacht race
the first week in October does not seem to
have occurred 10 the Dewey committee. The
| first race is scheduled for Tuesday, October
8, and Admiral Dewey has cabled Mayor
Van wyck that he expects to reach New
York on Sunday, October i.

bility today. The official did not want his
name mentioned for fear his views might
conflict with those of his fellow members,
but he said: II don't believe one of us
has thought that the yacht race might
conflict with the reception of Admiral
Dewey. but if what you say is true about

AFFAIRS AT HAVANA.
Hope That Cuba Has Seen the WOrs
of the Yellow Fever.


of the Yellow Fever.
Havana, July 29.-Reports received from
all parts of the island by Surgeon General
O'Reilly show that the health of the troops
and American civilians is remarkably good.
Yellow fever has practically disappeared
from Santiago In Manzanillo there are no
new cases. In Puerto Principe two cases
were reported yesterday, one of the patients
being soldier and the other a civilian,
more than twenty cases in Puerto Principe
since January /. Thus far there has not
been a single case in Cienfugos. Spaniard
in Matanzas was attacked by the disease
yesterday. This is. the first case that has
occurred there in several months. There
are no cases in Havana. DR.. O'Reilly does
not attribute this condition Of affairs solely
to the efforts of the Americans While
everything known to science is being done
TO fight the disease, DIR. O'Reiliy thinks that
good luck is partly responsible for the few
cases of fever reported. He points out that
in 1866 there were less than $50 yellow fever
deaths in the whole island, while in 1865
and 1867, when the conditions were ap-
parentiy the same the death rate was enor-
nous. He thinks II is yet too early To
crow. He is not the least pessimistic, but
knowing just how little science understands
the causes of the epidemics, he is not will
ing to claim a victory when there is yet a
chance that the disease may break out as
virulent as ever before.
A bitter fight is being made here by
the enemies of Chief OF Police Cardenas to
force him to resign. He was grossly in
suited in public last night by Inspector
Hernandez, who had been removed from
the committee for alleged protection Of
gamblers. There will be a public demon
stration tonight against Senior Cardenas.
Pedro de Villegas, li>utenant of police
and a former soldier of the Cuban army,
has been arrested here on the charge of at
tempted wife murder. He was married
only two months ago. 1t appears that he
was extremely Jealous of his wife and
locked her in the house every day. He
also forced her to drink digitalis. The
condition of affairs was discovered by the
| woman's brother. but she was then very
ill.
Governor General Brooke will be asked
to grant permission for the destruction of

TEXTILE MACHINERY IN JAPAN
A FavorabIe Market for the Amerf-
can Manufacturers.

The subject OF spinning machinery
in Japan is treated in a late communication
from Consul Samuel S. Lynn, OF Hiogo, to
the State Department. In his report he
says:
Il cannot ascertain that any machines
have as yet been imported into Japan for
spinning yarns with which to manufacture
either vigogne, shoddy, carpets, or fustians
The textile business here chiefly requires
machinery for the spinning of yarns for
manufacturing goods in cotton, silk, fax.
ramie, wool, and worsted. All cotton-spin-
ming machinery in Japan, except some Oh
the reeling machines and some other ac-
cessories. has been imported from England.
The total number of mule and ring spindies
is about 300, 00o.
''Woolen machinery has been chiefly sul@
piled by German and French makers; some
by English firms. The manufacture OF
wooden goods in this country, however,
remains as yet in very primitive condi-
ton not more than 20, 600 spindles being in
place Silk, fax, and ramie machines have
been mostly supplied from England, but
small number Of them have come from
Germany and France. The total number
of spinning machines is about $4,000, and
In conversations with prominent manu-
facturers. l have learned the English man
ufacturers do not send their cotton and
other machinery here to be dealt with by
unskilled Japanese workmen. but that they
send their own expert workmen along with
their machinery, who carefully instruct the
Japanese in its use. The latter quickly
learn to handle il. The fact that English
manufacturers do this creates strong
feeling in their favor. which brings buyer
and seller into much closer connection
Japanese manufacturers inform me that
spinning mills have proved quite profitable
| from the start, and that consequently they
have found no difficulty in capitalizing
| their business.
They also say that hitherto they have
| ordinarily preferred spinning machinery
made by the same manufacturers; but.
having become more and more used to all
kinds, they do not now feel SO tied to that
practice but are prepared. other things
being equal, to welcome competition from
any quarter, and this new condition
would especially commend TO our Ameri-
can manufacturers of machinery. The field
should be entered by them. in order to
supply q fair proportion of the cotton and
other spinning machine-v and equipment
in the great manufacturing city OF Osaka
and elsewhere. In exporting to Japan 9TH
er lines of machinery, the United States
has made notable progress, and there is
no doubt we would succeed if We exploit
