Satin Semoarai. POINTS ON SI1KK1'. According to the statistic prepared by Mr J R Docge of the agriculture! depart merit, the total number if sheep In the United States Jan. I, 1S91, was 43,431,136, valued at $108,397,447. Jan. 1, 1890, the number of sheep In the United States was 44,336,061, valued at $100,659,761. Thu it will be seen that a lets number of sheep by about i,oco,coo In 1S91 was v.orth $3, 000,000 more tnan tne previous year, Sheep reached their lowest price In 1SS6, when the general average was only $1.91 per head. The present average is $i.$o per head, against $1,25 In 1S90. Texas leads all the states In the union in the number of sheep, aggregating 4,49o, 271. Ohio comes next, with 4,061,897, fol lowed by California with 3,712,310; New Alexlco with 3,123,663; Michigan, 2,793,- 249; Oregon, 2,432,752; Montana, 3,oSo,- 337; Colorado, 1,819,569; Utah, 2,055,900, New York, i,393,5S3i Pennsylvania, t,- tHQ,Co2. Next in order are Missouri, with S9S,65o; Wisconsin, SS9,9io; Kentucky 765,769; Illinois, 770,993: Indiana, 1,150,- 200; Maine is credited with 547,670 sheep; New Hampshire, iS3,iS3; Vermont, 351,- 249, Massachusetts, 55.965; Rhode Island, sP,433i and Connecticut, 45.S24. We note a slight gain during the year 1S90 in the number of sheep in Maine and Rhode Island, while Vermont, New Hampsuire and Massachusetts show a very slight fall ing-oft in number,but an increase in value. The net decrease in the number of sh? ep Jan. 1, 1S91 fiom 1S90 shows a tolal of 904,936; net increase over 1SS9 isS32,057; the net decrease since 1SS4 shows the large total of 7,194,490 sheep. Thus In 1SS4 Texas had 7,956,275 sheep, while she now has 3,000,000 less. This heavy loss was chiefly due to the blizzards of 1SS6, which wiped out 2,000,000 of her sheep. With a decrease in 6heep from a year ago of 904.936, we shall have a decrease in the clip of 4,500,000 pounds, if we allow five pounds of wool to a sheep. Last year's clip was 276,000,000 pounds, according to the estimate of the agricultural bureau. This year's clip, thcrefo'e, must be set down at 271,500,000 pounds. Owing to the scarcity of wool, and the H&ht stock in the principal markets, the clip, especially west of the Mississippi's likely to be shorn early. The decrease in the production will make it necessary to increase the importa tion, and as the duty on both wool and woolens was largely increased, an extra and useless tax has been Imposed upon the people in the name of protectionism and that, too, without any compensating benefit to consumers.

One of the curious products of Mexico is the jumping hein, a vegetable curiosity, whose freaks of acrol atlc agility have never besn ful ly explained by the scientists. They grow in peds, eacho- containing three beans. Each segment i rounded on one side and Asliaped on the other, greenish yellow in color, and in circumference about the size of a large lead pencil. When placed on a table they roll over and skip about, sometimes actually jumping a good two inches When held between the thumb and forefinger they are felt to beat as trongh as the throbbing of a 1 trong m; ulse.

The Boston Journal, whose editor is blind zealot in the cause of protectionism says: In three weeks from the present time wc shall all be eating McKinley sugar, and we snan enjoy 11 me more Decause 11 wu; cost us 2 cents a pound less than we have been In the habit of paying. Even the smallest child will realize the benefit of the change in an unexpected but most grateful thickening of the coating of mo lasses upon his slice of bread, and if he knew what he was about, he would hymn the praises of McKinley. Then if It be such a blessed thing to have untaxed sugar, why, in the name of all that is reasonable, did not McKinley give us some more of it? hy not give us free lumber, salt, coal, tin, binding twine, jute sacks for grain, etc. None of these protection papers answer thh question except to say that we can not pro duce as much sugar in this country as we use. Very well, we do not produce as much wool nor woolen goods as we use therefore we should have free wool and woolens. We do not produce as much tin as we usr, therefore we should have free tin. Yet the?e devotees of protectionism who gave us free sugar, because wc do not produce all the country needs, gave us highly taxed wool, woolen goods and tin because wc do not produce all the country needs in these lines. What logic. The truth is just this : McKinley sought to secure a purely sectional law and succeed ed In doing it by taking aw&y about all the "protection" the south had and increasing it in the cast, north and west. But the leg- islation on the sugar tax was subjected to just such jugglery by McKinley in favor of the refiners as to enable "corners" and trusts to thrive and we predict that this long-looked-for sweetr.e?s will not ma teralize very soon. It is estimated by 1 lie authorities at Wash ington that under the new tariff act providing bounties on sugar, the expenditure every year will be about 8,000,000 for cane sugar, $3, 000,000 for lect sugar and $S75,ooo for maple sugar. l.nuL'ian.1 planters will get tl.c bulk of bounty, as they produce 400,000,000 pound, per year, against 1 5,000,00 pounds in Texas and 5,000,000 in Florida. There are 746 cane-sugar producing institutions in Louisiana, twenty in Texis and one it, Florida, Nkw Spring Goods.
