Recently barrel pork In Chicago ex-

ket by buying up $4,000 barrels. On
this point, Sir Thomas In an inter.
view, says:

that the advantage | now hold In the

Cannonading Hall Storms.

Consul Covert, at Lyons, sends to
the state department an interesting re-
port on an effort being made in that
section OF France to dissipate hail
storms by firing cannon at the clouds
Fifty-two cannon, manned by 104 can
noneers, have been distributed over
$500 acres of rich vine land. For the
expense of the experiment the govern
ment of France appropriated 1886, the
departmental council $3.50, the Nation
al French Agricultural Society S2,316,
and number of wealthy wine produc-
ers added fourteen more cannon. A
high point in the vine land to be COW
cred by the experiments was selected
as central post of observation and a
signal code was adopted When a
shot is heard from the central post all
the cannon are fired, at first twice per
minute and then more slowly after
the first ten shots. These experiments
have proved so satisfactory that or
ganized forces will be established In
places heretofore ravaged by hail, and
they will lombard the clouds when
ever they get angry. The wine grow
ers are organizing to attack the hail
storms in many of the great vine
lands of France. II is said that the
practice OF shooting at the clouds was
known in France over hundred years
ago and that 1t originated in Italy. II
is to be more extensively carried on
this year than. ever before.

horticultural Observations.

AS to the necessity for forest preser-
walton. We may learn a lesson from
some Of the older countries in the
world. notably India. Not because In
dia has protected her forests. but be-
cause she has not. The English au-
thorities In India have been trying for
many years to protect and conserve
the forests OF that country, but with
only partial success. Some areas have
been set aside as public forests, and
these are supposed to be under the pro-
lection of the government, but the
short-sighted policies of the native
populations make it extremely difficult
to enforce laws relative to the saving
of the forests. In spite of the watch
fulness of the officials, the natives set
fire to the forests, generally for one of
two reasons. The first is to scare out
the game; and 1t often happens that
for game worth a few dollars to in
diVidual hunters forest trees worth
thousands Of dollars are burned up
The second cause for incendiarism is
the desire of native farmers to get
early and good pasture for their farm
stock. In one province last year So.
600 acres were burned over. To show
the difficulty of stopping this incen-
darism by punishment 1t is narrated
that one man that had set fire to q
forest and burned up 1900 acres OF
valuable trees was fined ten rupees
-S2.O7. according to the present value
OF the rupee. Some of the natives set
fire to large bodies OF trees for the
