A Homemade Calf Meal.

DR.. Somerville, professor of the Dun
ham College, England, has recommend
ed the following homemade calf meal
from experiments recently carried out
in the north of England. 1t is said to
contain the same proportions of digesti-
BILE food constituents as new milk, has
been tried with satisfactory results aud
will be further used. 1t is cheap and
highly nutritious, and seems to suit
the calls stomach. Calf meal: Flour,
one part by weight; ground linseed' (no
oil extracted), two parts by weight;
ground linseed cake, three parts by
weight. To prepare it for calves;
Take two and one-half pounds of the
"meal" as days allowance for each
calf, scald with boiling water, after
ward adding more water so as to make
two gallons from the weight Of meal.
This cruel is recommended TO be given
in tepid condition at three meals to
young calves, adding a little salt, and
sweetening with sugar before serving.
1t should gradually be made to take
the place of new milk after the first
fortnight. Taking -four at 12s. per
hundred pounds, ground linseed at 13s.
Cd and ground linseed cake at Il. 3D.,
a calf would cost only Is. Sd. week to
be fed. Dairy World.

The Splendid Crop of Corn.

The final report of the corn crop of
the United States, which was published
in the american Agriculturist, Novem-
Der IL, affords some interesting details
Of its volume and distribution. The
average yield for the whole crop is
placed at 26 bushels per acre, against
1872 bushels last year, making total
crop, on the basis of an area of S3,677,-
900 acres, of 2,2O7 ,437 900 bushels.
Last year at this time the crop of 1898
was estimated at 1865, 100000 bushels.
The average of the four years 1S95-'98
was 2,058, 100000 bushels; average
yield per acre % bushels. This COM
parison shows that the crop of this
year was grown on the largest acreage
on record, and the rate of yield slight
ly above the average of the past four
years. An important feature of this
years crop is the fact that it is best in
the so-called surplus States. A COM
parison of the results last year and this
will emphasize this point. Almost the
whole surplus of this years crop over
that of 1898 has been produced in the
seven States that furnish the CONNER
cial corn surplus. Considerable COM
plant is being made that the forced
ripening left portion of the grain
rather light and chaffy. This will be
determined when the crop is more gen.
orally husked. The total crop of the
past two years and the portion of it
produced in the surplus States is thus
shown:

PUERTO RICAN RELIEF,
What Has Been Given and What 9.
Stili Needed.

The War Department has made a state
ment showing the progress made in relief
work in the island of Puerto Rico between
September - and November 80 1899. The
population of the island is estimated at
9lS,926. The average daily INDECENT was
,oSI persons, average weekly sick I7312
and the average weekly deaths tS32 per
sons. The annual death rate was 81 per
loo inhabitants. while the normal rate of
deaths was ~ per thousand inhabitants.
The amount of cash received for the re-
lief of the suffering people of the island
up 20 November 80 was sls,22l. The
amount of money disbursed up to the
date mentioned was S1.4l1. Up TO Noyem-
Der 80, the total amount of food received
TO relieve the sufferers was II, I62 IsS
pounds OF this amount 16.3Is.5l0 pounds
had been issued up to November ~ The
amount of unissued food on hand at San
Juan November 80 was 61i,272 pounds.
While the damage inflicted upon the peo-
pie along the coast Of the island was very
great 1t was in part offset by the improve
ment in the sugar cane crop, which inn
prOvement was produced by the overflow Of
water on the cane lands
The prompt action Of the American peo-
pie and Of the people OF The island was
all that prevented u terrible catastrophe.
The poor were fed and their lives were
preserved. Although a large part of the
island is no longer receiving relief, the
remains the same.
1t is believed that until February next
the demand for assistance is likely TO
increase in the mountain districts, the
plantains and bananas will not be ripe for
two months to come. The greatest distress
prevails in a locality where the greatest
difficulty is found in getting to the starry
ing.
Pestilence. which frequently follows flood
and famine, has appeared among the un-
fortunate inhabitants in the mountain dis
trictS and number of people have perish
ed. II is feared that the epidemic will
spread to the coast should there be gem
eral movement of the mountain people in
that direction.
1t is estimated that not less than 1000
additional tons of food will be required.
Four-sevenths of this amount should be Of
rice: twO-Serenths should be of beans. and
the remainder of the amount required
should be either Goldfish or bacon. With
the food already issued and now on hand
and with the 1000 tons required in add
ton to that already issued. the total issue
will be 30 1872 SS pounds.

FIRE LOSS At LAUREL.
Property Valued at 81 500 Destroyed
Suspected IBcendiarism.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md, December %, 1899
Two fires within ten days is the record
Laurel has made. 1t will be remembered
that on the 18th day of this month dis
astrous fire broke out here, destroying
twelve buildings and entailing d loss of be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000.
This morning at go, Immediately add
joining the recently burned district, fire
was again discovered. The property this
time destroyed was that Of Mr.. H. w. p.
Hunt of Washington, brother-in-law of
William Kennedy of this place. and con-
sisted of three small two-story frame
store buildings. located on the south side
of Main street between 18th and 9th streets
The estimated value of the property is
1880, and it was insured for $1,G00.
Only one of the buildings was occupied
at the time-the end one, nearest the ruins
of the residence of ex-Sheriff Robey. The
occupant of this building was Mr. John
Davidson, who was conducting meat and
provision store, and here the fire was dis
covered. A rather high wind was pre-
vailing at the time it broke out, but, for
tunately, it was from the west and the
sparks We're carried east over the recently
burned district.
The fact that the lock on the door of
Mr.. Davidson's store was found broken has
given rise to the belief that the fire was
of an incendiary origin, and efforts are
now being put forth to catch the firebugs.
The residence Of Mrs. NJ. L. Johnson on
the west was damaged to the extent Of
s75, and the household furniture in the
house, owned by her son-in-law, was in
jured to the extent of 500, both covered
by insurance.
This is the second fire which has broken
out upon this site in the past nine years,
and during the same period three fires
have visited the site directly opposite, each
time destroying all Of the buildings which
had been rebuilt.
