1t is said that Landing in southern
Arizona will average 100 per cent this
year as against sixty-fiye per cent last
season, and this is the best percentage
in two years. The winter was extra
mild and sheep came out in fine condi-
ton. The ranges were never in better
condition. and the grass is Of excellent
growth thus far this season.
Sheep-killing dogs are SO numerous
in many sections of the south as to
discourage farmers from attempting to
keep fiocks, for which they have am
pie range. A bulletin by the govern
ment recently published emphasizes
the value of Angora goats as a protec-
ton for fiocks Of sheep from the raw
ages of dogs.
An outbreak OF cattle poisoning
which occurred in the Gallatin Basin,
Montana. and which resulted In the
death of forty cattle. was investigated
1t was found that the poisoning was
due to the species of larkspur known as
Delphinium glaucum. and that this
plant had been apparently eaten in un
usual quantities, on account of the fact
that other green forage was covered
by a recent fall OF snow.

Mr.. Eden Eddis. famous English

once nearly elected an r. A., has Just
died within few days of his S9th

Mr.. Gladstone what was the brightest

that red was; the artist said that even
in the dark you could see the blue
flowers in garden. Mr.. Eddis

The Russian government is giving
its aid to develop the dairy industry.
Most OF what is known as the dairy
belt" extends along the line of the ST.
berian railroad, and to facilitate the
proper handling of these goods butter
trains. equipped with refrigerating ap-
paratus. have been used to transport
the goods to the seaports for ship
ment. During the season of 1900 two
special trains OF twenty-five cars each
were despatched weekly. loaded with
butter for the Baltic ports. United
States Consul Mahin says that the but

keeping properties and that it can be
produced at low cost.

observations on Southern Horticulture.
The question OF transportation OF
fruit is the great one at present. In
northern Alabama and In some parts
of southern Tennessee the Strawberries
were rotting on the vines this spring
at time when they were selling for
Is cents per box In Chicago. They
had been picked to supply the local
demand till the prices fell to point
where picking was no longer profit
able. The price was low because the
growers were virtually cut of from a
market. Within few hours from that
time, the writer was in Atlanta, where
berries were selling from wagons at
from to IL cents per box. The
growers around Atlanta simply had
access to a good market.

There are certain fruits better suit
ed to the sandy lands than others and
these only should be grown. We men
ton the peach and plum, the cherry
and the grape. and the Kieffer pear.
At Southern Pines only two varieties
of grapes are being grown-the Del
aware and the Niagara. These two
varieties are best suited to the soil
and conditions mentioned. OF the two.
the Delaware probably stands at the
head. This is due to the fact that 1t is
less affected by grape diseases than
the other, and also to the fact that 1t
sells at q higher price In the market
The Delaware should be extensively
grown In the South, for II is hard to
overstock the markets with this yari-
ETY.. The Niagara Is profitable where
the marketing conditions are favor
able. Many Of the other varieties OF
grapes require a stronger soil than
the varieties we have mentioned.

FATAL RIOFING In RUSSIA
The " orking People and Troops in
Frequent Conflict.
Many Persons Reported Killed and
Wounded in the Outbreaks at st.
Petersburg Eighty Thousand
Nen on Strike in the Empire.

LONDON. April 1.-THE troubles in
Russia have not subsided and such ad-
vices as escape the censorship of the
Cars officials indicate an alarming
condition of affairs. 1t is believed here
that the underCurrent of revolutionary
sentiment among the Russian masses is
not in the least abated and tidings of
>ery serious outbreaks would not cause
the slightest surprise.
AdViCeS have been received from
Lemberg. GaIicia, which support the
opinion that the crisis has not been
averted. It is stated that eighty thou
sand workmen are on strike at various
places in Russia and they are adding
their Influences to projects for disorder
that are causing general alarm.
II is further stated that desperate
riots occur frequently in St Peters
burg The working people and the
troops have been in conflict numbers of
times and many of the rioters have been
killed and wounded.
The st Petersburg authorities are en-
deavoring to put stop to the disorder
by making wholesale arrests More
than fifteen hundred persons have al
ready been incarcerated on the charge
of being actively concerned in the fight
ing and the authorities are making ar
rangerIents to seize all who appear to
be concerned in the secret movements
for further disturbances.
At Wiborg. near Odessa in Southern
Russia, great numbers of idle workmen
are engaging in sanguinary riots Nj
merous houses have been burned by the
mob and there have been scores of ar
rests
The conditions at St Petersburg and
Wiborg are duplicated in other places,
but it is with difficulty that detailed
accounts of the disturbances are sent
beyond the borders of the Empire.
Private advices received here state
that the Car is still in condition OF
extreme nervousness and that the dis
order throughout the Empire is preying
up2n his miEd to serious extent
II is said that. although the officials
endeavor TO keep the facts Of the situa-
ton from him. because Of his weakened
condition. he insists upon knowing the
details and broods over the growing
troubles despite all the comforting as
surances that ccme from his ministers.

on n strike three weeks ago and tied up
the manufacturing department Of the en-
tire shops returned to work this morn
ing at the old scale Of wages and under
the old conditions. The pottery is III full
operation today.
The difficulties between the manufac-
ing potters and the Operatives Associa-
tion throughout the United States are Of
q technical nature. The manufacturers
decline to discuss the matters with an
association on the ground that the opera
tives' organization does not control all
the men and the further ground that the
scale Of va ges recently agreed upon could
not be enforced by the men
