MINERAL OIL EXPORTS.
New Oh Discoveries viii Keep Il Ahead Of
Russia In Amount Produced.

Washington, May 29.-The recent
oil discoveries in Texas and on the
Pacific coast lend especial interest to
some facts just presented by the treas.
ury bureau OF statistics regarding the
exports of mineral oils from the
United States. These show that the
expectation of the fiscal year about to
end will probably be the largest in the
history OF this remarkable industry,
which has increased it's exports from
2O4, 600, 900 gallons of Illuminating oil
in 1875, to 721, 100000 gallons in
1900. In the quarter century from
1876 to 1900 the value of mineral oils
exported from the United States was
about 81, 200, 600, 600, an average of
about $4s, 90, 900 a year. During re-
cent years it has averaged about $780,
600, GOO per annum or 100000 per
month.
In the mere question of gallons OF
oil produced, Russia has been for
years close competitor of the United
States, though it is probable that the
recent discoveries in the United States
will enable it to continue to lead in
the number of gallons produced
while the fact that American oil pro-
duces nearly twice as much refined

One especially interesting feat

dustry is, that there has been re.
markable decrease in the price to the
consumer during the period in which

value of the exports have been in.
creasing. The average value OF the
illuminating oil exported in 1875 was
about Is cents per gallon, and in
1877, an exceptional year, 20 cents
per gallon. BY 1881 the price had
fallen to about 10 cents per gallon,
the figures for that year being 1892,
600, 600 gallons, valued at 1874, 600,
600. By 1891 the average price was
about Z cents per gallon. By 1895
the average export price had dropped
to 5 cents per gallon, the quantity
exported having been 1924, 600, 900 gal.

Seattle, May 3O.-It is possible that
on account of the machinists strike
the repairs on the revenue cutter Bear

abandonment OF the voyage to

STRIKERS LESS sAN0UlNE.
Eighteen Hundred Men Still Out Aroune
Newark, N. ].

New York, May 29.-The close Of
the first week of the machinists'
strike at Newark, N. j., finds about
1880 idle men in Newark and its
suburbs. The strikers have ceased
to be as sanguine as at first regarding
the outcome Of their efforts to com.
pei their employers to grant nine
hour day without decreased pay. A
half dozen OF the smaller shops in
this section have met the demands
of the men but none of the larger
ones has shown any disposition to
yield. Representatives of the larger
firms say they are prepared for just
as long fight as the machinists
are to maintain.
1t is probable that the machinists
employed in the American Engine
works, at Plainfield will 60 out.
This company agreed to the nine hour
clause, but cut Is cents from the 10

Sowing Glover Seed.


The Department Of Agriculture says
there are 17,S56.OOO clover seed in q
bushel. which would be 1900 in
pound. There are 43.56O square feet In

nish about 6A seeds to the square foot.
And yet we are afraid to advise far
mer to use less than eight or ten pounds
per acre. giving fifty-four seed to the
square foot. and yet II every seed grew.
the small number would place the
plants close enough together to produce
good crop. The extra seed, or seven
eighths of the seed cost, is the price we
pay for not having well-cleaned, plump
seed, and the land in such condition
that each one will have fair chance to
terminate and grow.

which killing frost has occurred In the

Weed Seeds.


II the farmer desires to know how to
select good clover seed he should learn
to know weed seed as soon as he looks
at it. Then II his eyesight Is not
good enough to distinguish it when it is
among the clover seed. let him spend
from fifty cents upward for q good
magnifying glass, and let him buy no
clover and not much other seed until
he has examined 1t, and found 1t rea-
sonably clear Of the weed seeds. 1t
may be hard to find it perfectly pure,
but there IL no use in buying such seed
as a sample sold in Vermont last year.
which had 59.31O weed seeds In a
pound. Just think of sowing ten.
twenty or more pounds of such seed on
an acre. The seeds Of plantain. sor-
rel, pigweed. smartweed, curled dock
and the foxtail grass were tho most
abundant In this lot. and each Of them
might pass for clover seed at first
glance, but can be detected under q

Parsnips for Mich Cows.

Parsntps for MiIch NOwss
The parsnip Is probably one Of the
best roots ever grown for mich cows.
and it has great advantage in that 1t
may remain in the field until spring
when other roots are all gone. and then
be used until grass has grown. 1t is
as easily grown as the carrot, and like
that root 1t wants deep, rich and mel
low soil. Many object to growing 1t
even in the garden. because the weeds
are apt to get such a growth before
the parsnips come up that tho labor of
wedding Is greatly increased, but this
may be remedied by mixing few rad
ish seed with the parsnip seed, which
will come up SO that the rows can be
seen and hoed out long before the par
ships are up. They can be pulled when
the parsnips are thinned.

Cruahcd to Death.

The Suburban brick works at George
town was the scene of a terrible acct
dent yesterday afternoon, which re-
suited in the instantaneous death OF
Henry Burris, an employe. Just after
noon the crusher that is used to pull
verize the clay got out Of order and
Burris crept in to fasten a bolt that
had become loosened. The pin that was
used to hold the machinery in place
when the crusher was stopped dropped
out and the machine started, pinning
the man against the clay. Death must
have been instantaneous, as those work
ing near heard no sound and did not
know of the accident until they looked
to see why the machinery had stopped.
The body was brought to his home in
this city, from which the funeral will
be held. He was the only support of
two orphaned sisters. They have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire city
in the loss of their only protector.
