In the minds of most people Siberia
Is connected only with eternal cold and
convicts, and it will surprise many to
learn that it produces some 100000
tons of grain every year, and since the
completion Of the Transsiberan rail
way quite feature has been made of
the expectation of Siberian butter, says
The British Food Journal. Last year
no less than $500 tons of this article
were carried over the 1900 miles COW
cred by this line. That it is likely to
prove lasting source of income is
proved by the fact that the Russian
government has granted 10 per cent
reduction in tariff in favor Of Siberian
butter. Owing to the low temperature
at which it is produced and which pre-
walls In the districts through which it
is carried, there Is no necessity to APP
ply refrigeration methods for preser-
walton.

The possibilities Of crop production
so far exceed the average yield Of
crops produced that an illimitable field
is ever open for the enterprising farm
er to work. We have before us seven
ears of corn grown in one hill of three
stalks which weigh ~ pounds. As
Stunning that each hill ON one acre Of
corn could be made to do as we'll,
which of course could not be done, the
yield would be 29S bushels per acre. If
we recollect Alright, yield Of 262 bush
els has been obtained from one meas
ured acre.

pressed with the idea that they must make
strong local nominations If the county is to be
carried for Mckinley and Roosevelt. Proof of
this statement is found in their apparent selec-
ton of Henry w. Hill as their candidate for
State Senator in the xLvIIth Senate District
This district is ordinarily Republican one In
1893 Charles Lamy. the Republican candidate
for Senator in this district, received 12,4O0
crat, who thus defeated by $500 votes. In
1893 the Democrats nominated William r,
Mackey and the Republicans nominated Ma
thaniel W. Norton. Mr.. Mackey made strong
and demagogic campaign, and, aided by Re.
publican dissensions and some mistaken sepub
lican nominations for local offices, managed to
bring about his election by a plurality of TO
votes.
Mr.. Hill in 1898 had been an Assemblyman
from the lid Assembly District OF Erie County,
and had rendered such services to the county of
Erie in advancing its commercial interests at
Albany that his nomination for Senator was
then advocated, but II thought best to
nominate him for Assemblyman once more. He
will be nominated with the conviction
the part of the leaders of the Republican party
shat he is the strongest Republican who could
ne nominated in that Senate district, and that
le will redeem il. AS member of the Consttu-
uonal Convention Of 1894, he was conspicuous
in the movement Cor the expenditure OF
s9,0O0,0o0 IN canal improvements, and as an
Assemolyman ne has yearly pushed every Dill
which would enlarge the commercial facilities of
Buffalo. No man more than he was response

OF this year appropriating S200,O00 for survey
OF the canals of the State, determine what
should be done for their further improvement.
THE NOMINEE FOR SENATOR
Senator George A. Davis, Republican, will be
renominated in The XLIXth Senate District.
Mr.. Davis has heen Senator Of high merit and
much Independent spirit. and has thoroughly
satisfied his constituents. He and Mr. Hill
passed the bills for the construction of magnifi-
cent new armories for the National Guard regi-
ments of Erie County-one bill appropriating
100000 for the armory of the 18th Regiment,
and the other 5000 for the armory of the
Goth Regiment. Both Senator Davis and As
sembyman Hill also have brought about the
passage of bills making large appropriations
by the State for the Pan-American Exposition.
In the XLVIIIth Senate District, now repre-
sented by Democrat, the Republicans will
probably nominate Assembyman Metzler, and
they hope to elect him.
1t looks though Frederick Howard would
be nominated for Assembyman in the I'D As
semby District if Mr.. Hill is nominated for
Senator The Republicans hope to elect most Of
the Assemblymen of the county.

AT all events, the interview not very pleas
