AS stated in the last issue Of the

went out to the Edge Hill ranch
where they expected to establish
an experimental station, and as
result of the trip, Forman Harper
informs us that a great deal has
already been accomplished. The
Edge Hill ranch is beautifully
situated in the Beaver valley about
twenty miles out, and while we
have never had the pleasure of see
ing this famous tract we have
pictured it as an elegant place,
and therefore an ideal location for
an experimental station. The
gentlemen plated twenty acres Of
ground on which to sow the differ
ent grains, and for the fall season
this tract will be seeded to winter
wheat. Very little, if any, winter
wheat has ever been raised in this
immediate vicinity up to the
present time, and while there is
every indication of its being a
profitable crop. suffice to say that

The Crib Question

In accordance with the orders OF the
police commission the police ordered
that the blinds be kept closed on the
cribs on Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
streets, and when the orders were is
sued and put into effect there was all
sorts OF protests and objurgation at
the police commissioners and the po.
lice But the protests come from a
very few only. There is more than
ample room for all on Astor street,
or al least at a respectable distance
from Bond street, and no one need
be inconvenienced by the order. II is
known that some OF the proprietors
on Astor street had already been
planning to try to center the district
on that thoroughfare, and they had
planned to petition the police board
to that effect and naturally the new
order pleases them. On the other
hand one or more saloon men voiced
decided objection, and one place is
said TO have threatened 10 openly defy
the police commission and the police
officers.
