Crops Look W ell.

"The Hessian fly is not making the
ravages on the wheat crop in Pennsyl-
vania this spring that it has in past
years." says Deputy Secretary of Agri-
culture Martin. "The seventeen year
locusts are due next month in the
southern section of the state, and the
farmers and fruit growers in that
locality are preparing to fight this
pest.
"The oats crop is going INTO the
ground in fine condition." continued
Mr. Martin. "The grass made late
start this spring, but the stand of clo-
yer is most encouraging. None OF
the fruits seem to have been injured
by the late frosts and l look tor an
average crop. The prospects of a
large peach crop are especially good.
On the whole, the farmers of Pennsyl,
vania have no reason TO comp ain,
and l don't know that they will"

THE LOTTERY IN ITALY.
An Institution Under Control of the
Government That Works Injury
to the People.

One of the curses of modern Italy
Is the lottery. An English traveller,
according TO the Philadelphia Satur-
dav Evening Post, thus describes the
hold that this institution has on the
people:
saturday in all the principal
towns of Italy is n lottery-day. The
lotteries are instituted by the gov
ernment. which draws "a considerable
revenue from them. All Italians
without exception, take part in them,
and their greatest anxiety is to
choose lucky number. In south
ern Italy the lottery has practically
become necessity. People talk of
il all the week, consult monks, priests
and certain individuals who have the
reputation of being able TO forecast
the winning numbers In Naples if
a man has no money for ticket he
will even sell his bed to get one.
Not content with all kinds of other
expeditions, Neapolitan women of
a certain rank on the eve of the
lottery go in crowds TO the ceme-
terry. There the spectacle Is most
weird. Disheveled women throng the
avenues of the cemetery, calling on
the dead TO tell them lucky numbers.
They light candles and place other
offerings on the tombs Of those
whom they think could bring them
good luck"

GOOD MARKETS.
Farmer Of Pennsylvania Can Easily Dispose
Of All OF His Products at Fair Prices.

Returns to the state department of
agriculture show that the Pennsyl-
vania farmer has better market for
his product than the farmer of any
State in the union. Deputy Secretary
Martyr says that the number of farms
in this state has increased during the
last ten years from aI2, 900 to 224.6 623,
an average of over 1000 annually.
The actual value of the I,S96,4S7
meat cattle on the farms in Pennsyl-
vania in 1901 was $43,o63,I9I; the
value of the o43,773 dairy COWS was
$29,I4I,56I.
The profit for the year from the
dairy COWS, if they yielded I4o pounds
of butter each at twenty cents per
pound, which Deputy Secretary Mar
tin says is low estimate, was SAL
100000. The actual value of the
I,53I,o66 sheep was $4,64a, 600; if
each sheep yielded four pounds of
wool, at twenty cents per pound, 1t
meant a revenue of $I2 1000, 900 to
the owners.
The number of horses on the farms
in Pennsylvania last year was $780,
oSI, and their value S4c,94S,927.
The number of swine was I,Io7,9SI;
their value $5,S3o,295.
The actual value of meat cattle,
horses, sheep and swine on the farms
in this state in 1901 was o4,4S4,oI9.
Add to this the revenue of $27,ooo,-
900 derived from the sale ofbutter and
$I2, 10000 from the sale of wool
brings the amount up to over $I25,-
100000.
The figures are compiled from the
annual returns 10 the department and
show tine enormous value OF the farms
of Pennsylvania, which ranks sixth In
agricultural importance in the United
States.

The Locusts Coming.
They Have Already Struck Maryland.

Be on the lookout for the much
talked of locusts. They have already
struck Maryland. The entire central
portion of the state is IN the clutches
of the terrible pests. Some idea Of
the hurt they accomplish can be gath
cred from the following special from
the infested territory to the Sundays
Philadelphia N0rM american.
"Baltimore and Central Maryland
are In the clutches of the seventeen
year locust. Their number is esti-
mated by billions, not mere thousands
of millions. Thousands Of young trees
that no later than Saturday were
beautiful in the garb of early summer,
look as if blight had fallen upon
them, every leaf, except the stem and
veins, has been devoured. In the
parks the buzzing of the male locust
was first noted, and this presages des-
truction by wholesale.
AT Towson and throughout Balti-
more county thousands of acres of
meadow land or grain fields lcok like
porous plasters, so close together are
the holes made by the insects. In
Louden Park, the largest cemetery of
Baltimore, the holes from which have
crawled locusts average 500 to the
grave.
From all over the countryside come
reports Of the activity of crows and
sparrows in their attempts to extermi-
nate the pest. The birds have SO
gorged themselves that future aid from
them is doubted.
The locusts, while supposed to eat
every kind of shrub and leaf, have
thus far not touched cedars and
pines"

The Caterpillar Pest.

To the farmer and owner of fruit
trees the caterpillar has always been
a source of great annoyance, but not
in many years has there been so many
cocoons on the fruit and other trees
as this spring. On almost every tree
in the forest and orchard are many
cocoons in which are resting cater
pillars. In few weeks all of these
cocoons will be opened and then will
commence the devastating act of the
caterplllars. In the valleys in this
section many good fruit bearing trees
are now leahess owing to the pest,
and many more will be in the same
state in midsummer.

About Sixty Saloon Keepers Fined
This Morning by Judge Sanders
Lydia 0zment Held to Answer for Mali
cious Cut;ing-Wfe Beaters
Fined
ONE MAN FAILED TO SHOW UP

Judge Sanders had an interesting
session Of police court this morning,
and it was very profitable for the CITY
as we'll. About sixty saloon keepers
were charged with violation of the
Sabbath, and a fine Of ten dollars and
costs was assessed against cash, max
ing total of about $500. This is
done before every grand jury meets.
Lydia Ozment, the young woman
charged with maliciously cutting
Annie Carroll at Eleventh and Ten
nessee streets yesterday, was tried and
held to answer in the sum of $500,
failing to execute bond. The evidence
showed that they had quarrel, ap-
parentlY because the Ozment woman
was jealous of her husband, Ernest
Ozment. The Ozment woman had a
knife, and proceeded to cut the Carroll
woman in the head, but did not seri-
ously injure her. She was able to at
tend court this morning.
Jim Magner was charged with beat
ing his wife, and was fned $50 and
costs for a breach of the peace, and
recognized in the sum of $500 for his
good behavior towards his wife and
towards Edgar and Mollie Holt.
Jim Milstesd, young man en-
ployed at one Of the mills, was charged
with beating his wife and tearing her
clothing off last night. He failed to
show mp for trial, and the court was
informed that both he and his wife
have left Little's Addition, where
they resided. He was fined $50 and
costs, and an effort will be made. to
find him and make him pay it or serve
it on the streets.
