COW was 81 80. Mr.. Smith. speaking of
such poor cows and the loss they entail
to their owners. well says that of the

of them were at once sent to the butcher
or fertilizer heap, their owners would
have more money at the end of the year,
because they would have the foods these

THE LUMBER MARKET.


\ Talk with president Hall of the IN
port Company.
Lewis \ Hall is president of the EX-
port Lumber company, which it is esti-
mated had S1.000,00O worth of lumber
burned in the Ottawa fire. In speaking
of the loss and the effect of the fire he
said:
"rhe destruction of the large amount
of white pine lumber at Ottawa which is
reported as amounting to from 100000
600 to 20O,000,00O feet, together with the
loss of mill capacity of between 100000
600 and $50, 100000 feet per annum. will
have greater effect upon the white pine
and spruce lumber markets than it would
have had at any other period within the
last ten years. Not only does 1t take out
of the market for the next twelve months
over 100000, 900 feet of lumber, princi-
pally white pine, but it does this at a time
when the demand was increasing alto
gethcr out of proportion to the available
supply. During recent years much tim
Der has been cut, while the demand for
lumber has been steadily Increasing. more
particularly within the last year, owing
to the prosperous conditions of business
in Canada, the United States and Gres;
Britain. Not only had the lumber which
has been destroyed been practically all
sold, but contracts have already been
made for the full 1900 cuttings of the
mills which have beet destroyed.
IL have Just received the following tele-
gram from our agent in Ottawa Cancel
all orders possible for common lumber in
the States. II Is necessary for us TO have
this lumber here. Owing TO the great
demand for lumber in Canada. it looks to
me as if lumber will have to be shipped
from the L nitcd States to Canada to sup.
ply part of the immediate demand
Fortunately the Export Lumber company
has large stocks of Lumber at its yards at
Groenpoint, Boston, and at mills of the
West. as we'll as at the interior mills in
Canada. amounting to about l25.000 O0C
feet. This Is independent of the 81 .OOO..
600 worth of lumber at the Ottawa yards
which was fully covered by insurance
principally in English companies
Therefore our company will be in a pos
ition to prevent any serious loss to tho
building interests Of the West Indies anc
South America."

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN


W
Marked Change in Conditions.
The week ending May has been
characterized by low temperatures,
strong winds, much cloudlness, and
heavy, though not uniformly distributed,
precipitation. The average number of
clear days. >; partly cloudy, , cloudy, 3.
The weather is too cool yet to produce
a marked change III crop conditions.
Grass continues to grow, and forest
trees are beginning to put out leaves,
thus giving the landscape far more of a
summer aspect than characterized it a
week ago. The rains of the first of the
week checked farm work in the eastern
portion of the section. These rains not
being accompanied nor succeeded by
warm weather did not stimulate great
growth in vegetation. In the extreme
north very little grain has been sown.
The ground is still cold, ard on only
sheltered slopes has any important work
been done. In New Hampshire and
Vermont about half the oats has been
sown. In Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut practically all the oats
has been sown and, perhaps, one-half
the fields are green. Ii is estimated that
onp-third of the blowing has been done
/ in Massachusetts.
Reports continue favorable for rye.
Some spring wheat has been sown. But
little corn has been planted, though
preparations IN the southern localities
are well advanced. Dat fields seem to be
well SET.
Despite the cool weather grass is grow
ing. Some old meadows are reported ia
be unpromising. All young stock and
sheep are on pasture which, however. is
deficient except on marsh lands.
The fruit outlook remains unchanged.
Little perceptblc damage has resulted
from the froSts. Some varieties of fruit
have hlOomed in Massachusetts,. though
neither plum nor cherry buds have
opened yet in Vermont. Catcrpillars are
Matching out on apple trees in some
orchards.
Only the earliest vegetables have been
planted in the northern districts. Three
fOurths of the potato crop has beer
