superyisors Must Make REPORTS.

Supervisors will be interested in an
opinion given Secretary of State
Stearns by Atty.-Gen. Oren on the 9Th.
1t appears that some of the supervis-
ors do not take kindly to the duty of
gathering and reporting farm stats
ties, and in several instances they have
wilfully neglected TO do this work.
Secretary Stearns asked if alleged lack
of time or the fact that the law allows
no compensation for the work is a
valid defense in this regard He also
asked if the supervisor or the secretary
of state is the Judge of the sufficiency
of the report required. The attorney
general says the law makes it the duty
of supervisors to make full and true
reports as to farm products, etc, and
makes it the duty of the secretary of
state 10 report failure TO comply with
this provision to the prosecuting at
torney, who in turn is required to en-
force the penalty provided for failure
to make a full and true report. Secre-
tary Stearns proposes to bring the of
Tending supervisors to time.

A controversy has been going on
among the Parsees of India about the
advisability of having a cemetery for
burying their dead instead of expos
ing them to be devoured by birds,
which is their ancient custom. The or
thodox are, Of course, violently in ia
vor Of their old custom, and quote their
ancient law book, called the Vendidad,
which enjoins exposure, and forbids
burial. The Vendidad is full of strange
precepts, which are entirely impracti-
cable in these days. The Parsees them
selves have ceased to be guided by 1t in
nearly every point, except this. the
disposal of the dead, and a few others.
The dog, for instance, is treated in the
Vendidad on the same level with man,
and two whole chapters are devoted to
him. If a dog dies, his carcass. or,
rather, we should say, his corpse is to
be disposed Of with the same elaborate
ritual as that OF a man. If a man
kills his water dog, his punishment is
10000 stripes with the priestly whip.
Nay, it is safer to kill a man than to
serve bad food to a shepherds dog, for
the manslayer gets off with ninety
stripes, while the bad master of the
dog is a great sinner and will receive
200 stripes.

Weekly Crop HulIetIn.

In the Michigan crop report for Oc-
tober, issued by Secretary of State
Stearns on the 9th, the statement is
made that the September weather was
peculiar in many respects. Frequent
showers early in the month aided ma
terially in preparing the ground for
seeding TO wheat. They also promised
To help potatoes, but the killing frosts
of the middle of the month put stop
to all growth. A notable feature of
the month was snow storm.
The most important feature of the
report is the final estimate of this
years wheat crop in Michigan. The
total number of acres OF wheat on the
ground last April, as returned by the
supervisors, was 1,9l4,94l. OF this,
1,443. 344 acres were in the southern
counties, 342, 474 in the central, and
129,123 in the northern. According to
reports received from crop correspon-
dents, n per cent of these acres were
harvested. The per cent in the south
ern counties was 20, in the central GO,
and in the northern Sc. This would
indicate that the total number of acres
harvested was /, 4Os, 131 for the entire
state.
The final estimated yield per acre
for the number of acres harvested is
eight bushels in the southern counties,
six in the central, nine in the northern
and eight for the state. This would
make the total estimated yield for the
state, IL, 600 900 bushels.
The acreage of wheat sown this fall,
as compared with an average is 90 per
cent in the southern counties, 81 in the
central, IS in the northern and SO in
the state. The average date of sowing
wheat was Sept. 20.
The estimated yield of oats per acre
is 80 bushels; corn, 81; potatoes, 6s,
and beans IL.
The total acreage of buckwheat is
"a, sol, and the average yield per acre
is Ii bushels for the state.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in Sep
TENDER at the Touring mills is All, $50.
and at the elevators, Alp, 4s9, a total of
$40, 37l. The total number of bushels
reported marketed in the two months
ending Oct /, was 2,334, 247, or 1888
034 more bushels than for the same
two months of last year. The total
amount Of wheat shipped by railroads
from the various stations for the month
was All .67l bushels.

An Important Case to Determine the
Rights of "a Bishop is Occupying the
Attention OF the Supreme Court
Supervisors Must Make Reports.



An important case involving the ten
ure of Catholic church property was
argued in the supreme court at Lam
sing on the 9Th. The complainant in
the case is Bishop Foley and the de-
PENDANTS are members of the Catholic
church at Dorr, Allegan county. Some
of the members of the church did not
agree with the remainder and proposed
to build a new church in opposition to
the bishops wishes, claiming that they
were the owners of the church prop
erty and had a right to build church
wherever they pleased Bishop Foley
obtained an injunction restraining
such action on the part of the parish
toner's, but upon a trial of the case in
the circuit court the injunction was
dissolved and an appeal was taken by
the bishop. The decision of the SUI
preme court will determine whether
the bishop is the real owner in fee of
Catholic church property or whether
he holds il in trust for the benefit OF
the church. The land upon which it
was proposed to build the church was
owned by the bishop as all church
property is owned by him, and it was
argued pretty plainly that the bishops
title is absolute. In case he should
make an assignment for the benefit of
his creditors all church property held
by him could be sold for his debts and
the only reliance which the Catholic
people have in the matter of church
property is upon the integrity of their
bishops. The outcome of the case will
be watched with interest by all
Catholics
