- Honey-raising is graduaiiy becoming the chief industry la Nevada. -Nearly $25,000,000 worth of candj was made in California during the past year. - The yield of ono Dakota farm il given as 60,000 bushels of wheat, 8.00C bushels of barley and 12,000 bushels o) oats. - Maine bas during the last yoar pul up 10,701,600 cans of corn, oyer 810.00C cans of succotash, and over 144.00C cans of lima beaug. ïhrce Portland ürms have done most of this business. - It is estimated that the asbestos mines in Canada will this year put oul two thousand tons, much of which is med in deadening walls and floors and at the same time rendering them fireproof. - In railroad building the United States far outstrips all other nations. Up to thé close of 1884 there were throughout the whole world about291,000 miles of railway, of which nearly one-half was in the United States.- Chicago Journal. - The amount of wool going into consumption in Europe is much larger this year than previously, while the demand in this country is also increasing, which gives an encouraging out look for wool growers. - Cincmnati Times. - Rochester parties are going into the frog-raising industry on an extensivo scale. They have purchased a large tract of land on the western shore of Lake Cayuga, near Canoga, N.

At first the experiment was a partial failnre, but this year it has proven, it is said, a most gratifying success, the land yielding iifteen tmshels to the acre and the quality of the wheat being good. - N. Y. Telegram. - The production of the Minneapolis Biw milis during the season just closed was 262,636,019 feet, or more than 50,000,000 feet less than that of 1885. This deorease seems to have been lttrgely due to the fact that the sea3on was the Bhortest on record, being from a month to six weeks less than the preceding. The fact, also, that the logs in tho river have been almost completely eleaned up would seem to indícate that the reresult was partly owing to a decrease in the loer cut as compared with
