'""-TTrfn ntMMMnn M at mfemir-Mrtvn i 1 i 4 1 : T1IK WHEAT qURSTIOX The supremacy of The Uaited State? M the granary of Europe Is no longer Incontesiible. So long aa the harvests la Europe failed, and there were only Russia and the United State to run upon to make up the enormous defi ciencies occurring for five successive years, the demand for our wheat and ether breadsluffj was correspondingly large. Bat now that the harvests abroad are once more very nearly up to the average, and in addition to the Bnssian wheat the product of India is entering year by year more and more Into competition with our own, it is be coming obvious that we shall not often hereafter be able to dispose of our sur plus grain in foreign markets, except at prices much lower than we have been aecustomed to get. Wheat can be grown in various parts of India at a Tery small cost in consequence of the low price of labor, and it is this small cost at the point of production which enables it to meet all the expenses of Inland and ocean transportatian, and yet be laid down in Liverpool at a price that brings it in competition with our own. The proof of this is in the fact f the extension of the grain growing area In Iodia during the last three years. In 1881 the total export of wheat from India was 15,000,000 cwts. In 1883 the quantity exported reached 22.300, 000 cwts., and it Is estimated that the ame proportionate increase will be shown by the exports of the present year. Moreover, the soft wheat of In dia when mixed with the harder va rieties of American wheats, especially those grown fn the Northwest, is said by English milllers to make the finest quality of flour. Here, too, it is to be remembered that wheat growing ia In dia is a new industry, and that it is re Ceivlug great encouragement because it offers a new field of labor to the masses Of the Indian population, but also for the rnwn that wherever its cultivation extends it fcure the people from those devastating famines to which India has been sulject from time immemorial. The capacity ef some parts of India for wheat growing ii limited only by the means of transportation to a sea port, and this capacity will be greatly in creased when the new railroads already projected or in course of construction are completed. It Is to the interest of the British government that preference should be giveu to supplies of wheat from India or Australia, loth being Stilish dependencies, because of the increasped demand th'js made for goods of liritiah manufacture. Here are facts that, in speculating on the f utnre for eign demand for our wheat and bread stuffs, we have to consider. If we are to maintain our supremacy for many years to come, it must be under differ ent conditions. The chief of these con ditions are economy in production and cheapness of inland and water trans portation. There id a point, even at the Northwest, on the gret farms of Dakota, where nearly every thing is done by machinery, at which grain cannot be grown at a profit. To the small farmers and these constitute the bulk of Western wheat growers the cost of raising wheat is much high er than on the gteat Dakota farms, and it Is by the standard of cost to the smaM farmers that the possibility of profitable wbeatculture must lie judged. A week ago the price of wheat at Kan sas city wa3 fifty-eight cents per bush el. At thai price the margin of profit, even on the best toils, must be small. On worn or inferior lands there would be no margin left. At Chicago, on Tuesday, the price was a fraction less than seventy eight cents per bushel, cash, and contracts for delivery in Oc tober, November and December did not exceed, even for the latter month, iphty-two cents. This, too, it should be remembered, is in the face of the fact t a treat ly decreased wheat crop last year. What lhes is to be done ? The answer applies Lot only to Western far mers, bet te those of the Mir' lie States. In view of a possibly diminished de mand abroad, it would be advisable to place less dependence on wheat as the meaey crop, aud to enter more, as the cotton States are now doing, into mixed farming, to encourage dairy farming, aW to raise and fatten more cattle, which, as statistics running through caMf years show, have never failed to gi-ve a good return proportionate to the the care expeuded on them.

Among the many wonderful things exhibited at the World's Exposition at New Orleans will be an "electro me chanical signalling apparatus," which gives promise of making railway travel in future a tr.tle safer than staying at home. This wonderful contrivance not only gives warning of such ordinary dangers as the approach of "wild" trains, obstacles upon the track, or bro ken bridges or trestles, but if the draw of a bridge is ever so little out of place it rings bell in the engine cab, and an other at the house or post of the bridge Keeper. If a trestle or culvert is out of line in -any direction so as to create a danger, or if a tunnel wall sags in a (threatening way, a faithful little hand .points out the danger upon a dial, and .the bell in the cab rings sharply, waking the engineer if asleep, and calling his .attention to the signal.

T S4 1 HATE AS ICK HOUSE. Farmers with their winter's leisure, idle teams arid other advantages to lay in a year's supply of ice should be the last persons to go witbout this luxury of summer time, and yet they perhaps of ttoer get along without U9ing ice than any ot her class. The work and expense of building a good ice house is a small matter. "We belive more persons fail in erectiDg a suitable ice preserving building who start out to get up aa elaborate affair at considerable cost than when the aim is to make a cheap one. We will describe the main points for constructing a very simple but ex cellent ice hou.-e, that any farmer could put up in a day or two. Lt it be said first of all that tbe important points of a good ice house are drainage below, but without opeu drains through wnich air can enter into tbe house ; ample venlil lation above to secure the ready es cape of the constantly rising vapors from the ice, and then the use of an abundance of noo-conducting material, such as saw-dust or tan-bark for main taining a low temperature in tbe inte rior. A start may be made by getting up, for a moderate sized house, a double wall sixteen by sixteen feet, or else lar ger one way, ten feet high at the sides and higher at the ends, consisting of uprights, size two inches by six iuches, set crosswise, aud four feet apart, close ly boarded up inside and outside. This wall should rest on sills to which the uprights should be tow-nailed. A quarter-pitch roof, in which two-inch by four-inch scantling are used as rafters, and projecting over the edge of the building a foot or more should form the cover. In this, at tbe ridge, there should be au ample sized ventilator. For packing material sawdust or spent tanbark is about the best. The out? ide wall should be packed with this. A foot deep of the same material should he placed iu tbe bottom of the 'uterior of the houstj before putting in the ice. Then the ice should be kept one foot away from the wall all around, and this space be packed with the non-conducting luatem!. Tbe ice should not be carried higher than to within two feet of the top of the side walls, and then a sawdust or bark coat two feet thick should cover all in completing the pack ing away. The door is to be brought in at one end, swinging outwards. Loose cress boards should be set up against the opening at the iuside as the filling progresses, and these then may may come away, one by one, during the season as consumption goes on.

When tbe soil has in itself a certain power of capibility of production which may be indefinitely drawn upon for the growth of crops, yet this product is neither satisfactory nor profitable to the farmer. Tbe farmer works foi subsist ence and profit, and requires to gatbei from his fields the utmost yield which be can force from them. To reach this desired eud be Is obliged to add to the soil certain waste matters which he can procure or certain substances which he can purchase, which will supply to it those ingredients of tbe crops which these draw from it, and by thus adding to the resources of the soil to increase the yield from it. But this addition of manures to the soil has anothet useful effect, vix. : that of exercising a chem ical action upon the soil itself and liber, ating from it a portion of its mineral elements of fertility, mainly consisting of potash and phosphoric acid. This is certainly the most important effect of applications of manure, and accounts for the fact that tbe crop is benefitted more largely by a certain quantity of manure, than could have been expected from the manure itself. The effect is caused by t he liberation of carbonic and other acids during the decomposition of the manure which exert a chemical influence upon the particles of soil and so reuder these more soluble than they were before Further, the roots of the plants growing in any soil have a power of decomposing the mineral particles in a degree com mensurate with their vigor of growth, so that a luxuriant crop, made by abundant manure in tbe soil, actually exhausts the soil more, and draws from it more than it could have done had it not been, made capable of doing this by the action of the manure in invigorating the crop. This effect may be compared to tbe more f ig orous appetite possessed by a well nour ished person or animal, who is able to consume, digest and assimilate more by reason of bio or its robustness of health. Such analogies as this may be found in nearly every direction in which the phys ical laws of plant or animal growth are explored, and they offer both inducement and reward in their plettsing results to the study by farmers, young and old, of the science and principles upon which their art is founded.

Its readiest con quests are made io its struggle with the birch, which is rapidly disappearing- be fore it. and which now forms forests only where the soil is too poor to sup port the beech. The earlier forests of the countrv were composed mainly of asien, with which the birch was appa rently associated ; but as the soil and climate improved the fir appeared in preat numbers and ruled for centuries. The first place was heii gained by the holm oak, which is now, like tbe birch and fir, but more slowly, being replaced by the lieech.

Cats are better than poison for rats Never tiy to raise a root crop on poor land. Manure : tie keystone of all rooJ farming. The United States has eleven million fcorsrs. Don't look for winter eggs in a coop where the combs get frozen. An Ice house should be located on a rise of ground, never in a hollow. Dorking fowls are the oldest exist ing breed. It don't pay in the end to woik young horses too hard. Ixis Angelos, Cal., thlpped a c.irloa 1 of honey to London. The demand for permanent grassea is greatly on the Increase. The value of manure depends on what is fed, not oil the animal. Australia exports a great deal of coal, some of it going even to England. Light Brahma hens will lay eigl ty or ninety eggs in a year, on an average. To see an angry milker inflictiur Mow s on a cow with a stool, is a horrifying sight. In manure making it is a great point to see that no fertilizing matter runs to waste. Feeding of stock during the winter months should always be done at regular hours. Never add wood ashes to tbe manura heap. Tlaster, however, will be fouLd beneficial. Hay is an important crop ; consider whether it would not pay to get a tedder next year. Carrots, turnips, and cabbages are the only vegetables that can be raised iu Greenland. Clydesdale horses may be slow, but they are steady and sure, which are winning qualities. Sour milk, whey and buttermilk aie excellent liquids for mixing with the soft food of poultry. Some of the Western premium crous of corn last year ranged from 10s to 149 bushels per acre. It is said that a solution of indigo in the soft food of chicks is a sure preven tive and cure for gaps. You can count on saving one third on the seed by sowing wilh a drill, in stead of sowiDg broad-cast. iiecause mules will bear a good deal of abu.se, don't allow it to be inllicte 1. Xo farm stock will pay batter for gjed care. ine largest vineyard in the world :s owned by G. G. Erices. of Zolo Cal., containing 1,00U acres of the besi varieties of raisin grapes. The growing of mustard for seed is said to be profitable, as the seeds not on ly produce an excellent oil, bat are utilized after being pressed. The United States produces forty, eight bushels of cereals Tor each person, as against the raisine of eleven bushels to each person in Great Britain and Ireland. Orchard grass should seldom be sown alone, but be mixed with an equal bulk of two or three other kinds of meadow grasses. Clover msy also be included in the mixture. The dust bath is as necessary for the fowls as water is for man ; it cleanses the featheis and skin from impurities and vermin, and is instrumental io pre seiving their health. Id ome experiments with the differ ent breeds of fowls it was demonstra ted that with warm, dty quarters aDd good management the Legnoms were equal to the Asiatics. An Eaglish farmer thinks he cannot raise calves, lambs, cattle and sheep without feeding some linseed cake. It has a wonderful effect in improving the appearance of any animal. Recent experiments have shown that the weight of grain in wheat or rye in proportion to tbe straw is about "one third of the whole, while iu barley it ranges from one-half to one-third. It saves a great deal of work to do what has to be done at just the right time. The farmer who is always a little behind time is generally a poor one poor in management aud forethought at least. Before a man plants any fruit exten sively he should ascertain how the vari eties which he proposes to plant suc ceed in his neighborhood. If he can not ascertain, then plant moderately so as to "feel bis way." A Hereford bull (Lord 'Wilton), elev en years old, was lately sild in England for 3390 guineas, equal to X391K), or $ 19,311,60. Thei6 were some Ameri can bidders on hand, but the bull was at last struck off to an Englishman. The mulberry ia a good tree to rai in tbe poultry yard. It is hardv and long-lived, and the fruit is popular w ith the hens, besides being very nice for the children. The leaves are lare and and the shade it makes is dense, which is also desirable io the summer. Gill-edge butter-makers do not use large quantities of cotton-seed meal, tho they allow a small quantity, not exceed ing a quart a day. Portions of linseed meal should always be fed with the cotton-seed meal, the nv.xture being belter than either when fed alone. The horrible nauseous worm seed verml fuifes and worm syrups have had their day.
