The union is one made up of love at.

* delicate pink trimmings; the grooms
men in the conventional suits
After the ceremony and congratula

HEMP AND JUTE CULTURE.
Tlie Agricultural Department nt Wiuhitig
tun iMriiien an 1 nterestls?* Kepuri..
Washington, Dec. 26.—A constant
demand for the past two years for in
formation regarding the best practices
for the successful growth of hemp and
jute has led to the issuance by the agri
cultural department of a report on their
culture in this country. It shows that
formerly the hemp growing industry of
this country was of considerable im
portance. large areas were devoted to
the cultivation of the plant, and as
much as 75.000 tons of the fiber were
produced in one year, but , last year
hardly more than 5,000 tons were re
ported for the whob- country.
The extension of the already estab
lished culture of hemp, it is stated,
might supply a substitute for the jute in
many of the eoar-e jute manufactures
now produced in tin-* country, and thus
re establish one of tne decreasing pro
ducts of American farms. The present
large demand for India jute encourages
the attempt to produce that fiber in this
country.
For the fiscal year 1894-95 at least
160.000 tons of the fiber and butts were
imported into this country for manu
facture. yet it is stated to be perfectly
adaptable to culture in the southern por
tion of the United States, and the sam
ples produced by American grown jute
have been proved at. least equal to the
India product.
Another agricultural department re
port is a bulletin on insects injurious to
stored grain. This recemmends early
harvesting and thrashing, and gives the
bistilphide of carbon treatment as the
best.remedy for the cereal destroyers.
Lost, a setter, bird dog, white with
red spots, end of tail cut off. Finder
