THE COUNTRYS CROPS Facts From the Latest Report of the Agricultural Department. Condition of Grain, Cotton and To- bacco in the Beginning of July, The June crop returns of the Department of Agriculture make an increase in the area planted in maize of about one and a third millions of acres and the total over 77,000,- 000. Thisis only a preliminary estimate. The condition of the crop is only medium; lower than usual at this period of its devel- opment, Execesive moisture has delayed planting, and low temperature and a satu- rated soil have retarded growth on the At- antic Coast north of South Carolina. In the Ohio Valley condition is lower than elso- | where. Extremely cold weather in the lat- ter part of May and the first week in June was unfavorable to germination and the frosts of that period injured or destroyed that which was above ground. Cut-worms bave been very destructive in the West. In the subhumid belt and border of the arid region the crop is generally in fine condition.

It has already created a veritable panic in the landlord camp, and their organ, the Dublin Express, weeps co- stously, predicting all manner of dread- fol things, including the extermination of the Irish people, and the handing over of the country to military colonists from England The landlords are gasping at the possibility of a general strike against rent, and the Tor les predict turmoil and bloodshed during the coming winter; but the new league will be strong enough to prevent crime, and will af. ford Balfour no reasonable excuse for pro- claiming martial law in order to fi it That is what the Tories are urging the Gov- ernment to do, and it enables one to estimate the extent of their fears Michael Davitt, in an “The new Tenants’ 1+ Aun start to the Irish cause, w menso importance.

A 1 industry has sprang up in Sweden, which consists in the extisetion of oil from wood. It appears that this industry is Yecomibg every year a more important branch of Swedish trade. The portions of timber and plants which used to be considered valueless are now util- ized. After being subjected to various processes they yield not only oil, but tur- pentine, acid, charcoal and pitch. It appears that the ligneous oil produced in Sweden cannot be burned in ordinary lamps, owing to the quantity of smoke it throws off, but has to be used in specially constructed lamps, similar to what are employed for photogen.” It costs about fifty-five centimes per litre, is not explosive, and burns much loneer than photogen, There are now thirty manu- factories for turning out this substance in Sweden-—so rapidly has the industry developed—and the sonusl production is about 40,000 litres.——Drug, Oil and Saint Reporter, ew creosote, acetic Spelling Bees Drove Him Crazy, mouth and yells at the top of his “Ba ba, yaya, asafetida.” He
