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. Baltimore

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.

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.
If the value of buttermilk were better
known it wouid be more used and less
wasted, says an exchange. It is a laxa
tive and aperient, invigorates the stom
ach, liver and kidneys, and is nutritious
to the system. Thousands of persons
are suffering to-day with sepsis iu the
blood, from which proceed nervous
headaches, weak diaphragms, costive
ness and evsu rheumatism and ague,
who would be relieved in a very short
time if they would drop iheir pork and
stimulating diet and use only butter
milk, fruits and Vegetables.

FERTILIZERS.
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. X. Y. 1'imes.
A Strcqolk for existence. The
beech, according: to Moris. Ilaosen-Blan-sted,
ia supplanting other trees in the
forests of Denmark. 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. The snpeiiority of the
beech stt.nvi to lie in its power of grow
ing in the shade of tuy trees while oth
er trees are unable to develop in the
shadows of its own dense foliatf".
