Why continue the use of remedies

Farmers should look oyer their stock
at this season of the year, and not keep
stock all winter to be fed and boused
at a considerable coflt, only to find,
when spring comes, that it is worth no
more, and perhaps less, than it was in
the fall. This rules applies not only
to cattle aud sheep, but to poultry.
Moreover, the principal may apply to
crops. Where a reasonable profit can be
obtained by selling the crops ofthe fields
and orchards in the fall, it is better to
sell them than to bold for higher prices.
There is always a risk in keeping, for
prices may not rise, and the crops kept
may be badly affected by atmosphere
or other causes not considered. So far
as live stock is concerned, it is pretty
certain that next spring will see lower
prices than at present prevail. Meat
is still very dear, in spite of the glow
ing crop reports from all parts of the
land ; but as the people begin to realize
the extent of the crops they will .begin
to clamor for lower prices, and a de
cline must eventually come. Money
realized for stock or crops now and de
posited safely will draw interest, and
can neither die nor decay, whereas
the live stock may do the one and the
crops the other.
The wise and well-to-do farmer is
not he who has a great surplus of stock
or crops on hand. Success is as much
due to selling at the right time as in
buying at the right price. Reasonable
profits and prompt returns should be
the rule of the farmer, who, jußt as sure
ly as a merchant, will find it well not
to keep any kind of salable material on
hand too long.

Population of the World.
A most carefully prepared report of
tbe population of tbe various countries
of the world is that issued from time
to time by Drs. Behm and Wagner.
A new edition of this publication has
just appeared, tbe previous one having
been two yearsjago. Within this inter
valfcensuses have been taken in a large
number of countries, and tbe result of
these are embodied in this work. Bat
in tbe case of some countries no official
statistics are to be bad, and for such
the figures presented are necessarily
tbe result of computation or even con
jecture. Tbe report of tbe population
of China, for instance, is but an esti
mate, while that of Central Africa can
be little better than a guess. The re
sults given by Bebm and Wagner are,
however, generally accepted as the
most trustworthy published.
Tbe total population of tbe globe Is
now reported by them at 1,433,800,000.
According to tbeir last report it was
1,455,900,000. This difference would
indicate a decrease of 22,000,000, but
as a matter of fact there has, according
to these authorities, been an increase
of more than 33,000,000. This is ex
plained by tbe fact that tbe population
cf China has been very much over-es
timated heretofore. In the last issue
of this work it was given at 434,000,-
000 ;it is now put at 379,000,000. In
fact, in those countries alone in which
censuses have been taken tbe official
returns show an aggregate increase of
32,000,000 during the proceeding inter
val of ten years. Tbe number of peo
ple inhabiting tbe larger division of tbe
globe, as given by Bebm and Wagner,
are as follows: Europe, 327,743,000 ;
Asia. 795,591,000; Africa, 205,823,000;
America, 100,415,000 ; Australia and
Polynesia, 4,232,000; Polar regions,
82,000. Russia is credited with 83,-
OOO.OOO^inbabitants; China, 379,000,-
000;. Japan, 36,000,000, and British
India 252,000,000.

In Bexar County, Texas, there is a
ranch of 8,000 acres, entirely devoted
to the raiding of Shetland and spotud

many sheep.
