Ten years ago in the office Of the
Commissioner of Agriculture the mail
carrier had no kick about weighty
mail. Scarcely SEQ letters were re-
ceiyed during the year.
There is vast difference now!
About 80, 900 letters are received
annually and farmers from all over
the state drop in to discuss farm
management. proper fertilizers. the
chemistry OF soils and the proper Sc
lection of seeds. About a million bull
letins a year are distributed among
the farmers in the State from the de-
partments. while there Is little mall
ing list Of 5000 farmers.
Institutes are being successfully
held throughout the State and the
question of halls commodious enough
to accommodate the farmers who at
tend has almost become a serious one.
After the speeches are made at these
institutes, friendly discussions are en-
tered into of the, subjects that have
been before the meeting. These bene-
fetal and informal meetings have
brought the Board of Agriculture and
the farmer into a close and friendly
relation. which has increased the de-
mand for the bulletins,
The different railways and steam
ship lines have been generous III fur

working OF longer hours each day by
all connected with the department.
There Is not an employe who has not
been faithful and attentive and given
more OF his time than should really

Some of the significant work done
by the board has been an increase in
the use of serum in hog cholera which
has been the means OF saving $780,

Instead of the three American-Ha.

said would remain to transport island

and Mexican, will be retained in this
service, adyices to the local agents

These boats, however, can carry 49,

Advices received by Georg Rodiek,

SINK HUNDREDS
OF STEAMERS

A white paper" issued by the Brit
ish government the last of January
shows that since the outbreak of the
war to the end of last October. 254
British merchant steamers, aggregat-
ing 542,64S tons, were lost through
enemy action" OF these III were
sunk by submarines. &c by warships
and 81 by mines.
Nineteen sailing ships, of a tonnage
of 1882, were sunk. The fishing yes
sells sunk numbered 227, of which 15S
were steam and 50 sailing Their az
gregate tonnage was 14,104. -. .......
In the same period 1871 steamers, ag
gregating 1882 tons were lost by
ordinary marine casualties, of which
IA, of a tonnage of 14,IB3, were re-
turned as missing" The loss of some
of these, says a foot note, was prob
ably due to mines or other enemy &C
ton" Sailing vessels to the number
of 229 and of a tonnage of 1888 also
were the victims of ordinary marine

FREIGHT RATES

shippers are not the Cnly people suf-
fering from soaring freight rates. In
the Philippines, according TO the latest
COPIES of the Manila Cablenews-Ameri-

shipping rates TO New York have more
than doubled. Says this paper, of jan
uary %: ."e.. ..... ......s -
Freight rates are soaring. The rul-
ing rates for sugar from Iloilo to New
York that in normal times were "a
cents d picul are now 200 shillings or
P6.25 picul, resulting in the inability
of exporters of that product TO move
their sugar to the markets.
This rate was two days ago only
$50 shillings and the raise to 200 was
made on Friday. ...
Recently Japan purchased from Ilo-
lilo $1,000 piculs OF first class sugar
which was shipped at so shillings or
P2.50 a picul, this, by the way, being
the first shipment OF that grade of
sugar to Japan that has been made for
many years, and due to the fact that
the Formosa crop has almost failed
this year
THE rates for hemp shipments have
also risen tremendously and the ante
bellum demand OF from 20 to 80 shill.
ings ton has now reached the enor-
nous rate of PISS shillings. having
risen in few days from 220 shillings.
The price of hemp has also become
