Irvine for T,Iag Woo.

The Michigan experiment station
asked this question OF some OF the
largest dealers in wool: SIS the use OF
inferior twine and too much of 1t
common enough to make it advisable
to explain to wool growers the best
grades OF twine to use. the amount to T
use, etc.," 1t publishes the following
answers;
Answer by NO. 1.-The use of in
ferior twine, and too much OF It, ia
certainly a great drawback to the
marketing OF Michigan wool. and un-
der all circumstances should the use OF
sisal or binding twlne be avoided, as
manufacturers discriminate strongly
against fleeeces tied up in this manner,
as the vegetable substance gets into
the yarns and ruins them unless the
wool is carbonized. The latter process
takes the life out of the fiber and also
weakens 1t, hence carbonized wool is
only used in inferior fabrics. We think
six to eight feet of twine is sufficient
to tie the wool in such manner that the
aeeces can be marketed in good shane.
Answer by No. At Is advisable for
the grower to use as little twine as
possible, and such twine should be of
the best Grade. 1t should simply ha
wound round the feeces once
Answers by Nos. 8, A, s and e.--Yes.
answer by No. GA small hard
round twine should be used. tying up
the fieeces once across each way, the
same as you would tie up a box, not
using any more twine than is actually
necessary. A thick fiber twine is very
detrimental and most especially that
called sisal
Answer by No. THE use Of infe-
rior twine Is a disadvantage.
Answer by No. S.--The use of sisal
tWlne Is very serious injury to wool,
ana causes such damage in certain
KINDS OF manufacture that manufac-
turers are obliged to use foreign wools
10 escape the risk of damage to their
goods. If your efforts can prevent the
use OF slsal twine throughout the state
IL Will make one step towards popu-
larizing Michigan wool.
Inc bulletin further says: Besides
weight there is still another reason
why buyers object to coarse twine.
The coarse, hard hbers OF the twine are
apt to work in among the wool fibers
manufacturers find it difficult to sep
arate these foreign fibers from the
wool, and unless they are removed
tney work injury to goods manufac-
tured from such WOOL We believe the
ume has come when Michigan wool
growers should adopt small twine of
better quality. A small linen twins
used by nearly all wool growers in
Australia Is to be recommended in
every way. While such twine costs
ABOUT 70 cents per pound 1t runs near
~ 200 feet to the pound. A pound OF
linen twine should therefore tie 270
neeces, allowing twenty feet to each
neece. This linen twine is soft twine
and should the fibers become mixed
with the wool fibers there would be
no injury done. Number Is hemp is
also TO be recommended There are
ABOUT sixteen hundred feet of this
twine to the pound and it can be pur-
chased for about 10 cents per pound.
Inc only objection raised to the use of
small fine twine for tying wool was
that 1t was hard on the wool packers,
hands,

Winter Wheat for Nebraska.

Press Bulletin Is, Nebraska expert
ment station, says: In the fall of
1896 thirty-seven varieties of winter
wheat were sown on the station farm
VI these, all but three varieties killed
out SO badly that it was not consid-
cred worth while to harvest them.
The three varieties that lived through
We're Turkey Red Big Frame and Cur
rell. In the fall of 1898 there were
soWn more than hundred varieties.
and only FIVE came through the winter
In good condition. Those just men,
toned were three of the FIVE. Last fall
iofty-two varieties wee sown, OF
which seven did not germinate and
nineteen Winterkilled. The seme three
varieties were among the best but the
ylelds have not yet been ascer. aimed.
In order to test the relative merits OF
the seed thus selected and that o. the
same varieties from some other sec
TONS of the country, seed OF the iur-
Key Red variety was brought from tEc
Ohio and Iowa experiment stations
and Of the Turkey from Kansas. The
latter is very similar to the Turkey
Red grown here. Seed of the Currell
variety was also obtained from the
Maryland experiment station None OF
these did so well as the Nebraska
grown varieties, with the possible ex-
ception of Kansas Turkey Contrary
to expectations, this wheat matured
earlier than the Nebraska Turkey Red.
1t did not lodge and was not badly in
fected with rust In these respects 1T
was as good as the Nebraskagrown
wheat. Both the Ohio and Iowa Tur-
key Red lodged and rusted badly and
matured later than the Nebraska Tur-
key Red. The Currell from Maryland
made a ranker growth than the Ne
braska Currell, but lodged and rusted
badly 1t is the aim of the experi-
ment station to extend the area OF
winter-wheat culture over as large
portion of the state as possible. To
this end a very large number of va
rieties OF winter wheat have been test
ed by the station during a period OF
several years. Those strains of Tur-
key Red and Big Frame varieties that
have been grown on the station farm
for several years have proven them
selves very hardy. Seed wheat of eith-
er one of these varieties will be sent
out on application. free OF cost except
transportation charges. % long as the
supply lasts, to parties living north of
the Platte river and also to those west
of the one hundredth meridian.-T. L.

STORM SWEPT TEXAS.
GALVESTON SWEPT BY FURIOUS
GULF WAVES.
Death Loss Estimated at From 1000 to
s,ooo--Property Loss beyond
Conjecture.


Texas Sunday night was the most dis
astrous that ever visited the section.
The wires are down and there is no
way OF finding out just what has hap
pened, but enough is known to make it
certain that there has been great loss
of life and destruction of property all
along the coast and for 100 miles in
land. Every town that is reached re-
ports one or more dead, and the prop
erty damage is SO great that there is
no way Of computing it accurately.
A relief train returning to Houston
reports they could not get closer than
six miles OF Virginia Point, where the
prairie was covered with lumber. de-
bris, pianos, trunks and dead bodies.
Two hundred corps were counted
from the train. A large steamer is
stranded two miles this side of Vir-
ginia Point, as though thrown up by a
tidal wave.
Two men were picked up who fioated
across to the mainland from Galveston,
and they say they estimate the loss of
life up to the time they left at 1000
private message from San Antonio
states that seriou. disaster occurred
at Corpus Christi, Rockport and other
coast towns, the nature of which cannot
be determined From Smithville at
noon it was stated that the grain ele-
nd ath Ia
Galveston had been washed into the
bay.
Telegraph wires are down to Port
Lavaca, Rockport, Aransas Pass, Corr
pus Christi and Brownsville on the
lower coast, and grave fears are enter
tanned regarding the safety of the in
habitants of those towns
The city of Galveston is entirely sub
merged and cut off from communica-
tion. The boats are gone, the railways
cannot be operated and the water is so
high that people cannot walk by way
of the bridge across the bay, even
slould that bridge be standing
Provisions will be badly needed, as A
great majority OF the people lost all
they had. The waterworks power
house was wrecked and a water famine
is threatened, as the cisterns were all
ruined by the overflow Of salt water.
The estimates made by citizens of
Galveston is that four thousand houses
most of them residences, have been de
stroyed, and that at least 1000 people
have been drowned, killed or are miss
ing. Some business houses were also
destroyed, but most of them stood,
though badly damaged.
The city is a complete wreck SO far
as can be seen from the water front
and from the fremont hotel. Water
was blown over the island by the hur-
ricane, the wind blowing at the rate of
eighty miles an hour straight from the
gulf and forcing the sea water before
it in big waves. The gale was steady
one, the worst of it striking the city
about o'clock Saturday evening and
con tinuing without intermission until
midnight Sunday.
The water extended across the is
land. 1t was three feet deep in the
rotunda of the fremont hotel and six
feet deep in Market street.
Along the water front the damage
was very great. The roofs had been
blown from all the elevators, and sheds
along the wharves were either wrecked
or had lost there sides and were of no
protection to the contents.
