Great Britain's Consumption of Breadstuff's. The statistics of tlie movement of cereal produce show that the United Kingdom has Imported durhifr the first half or the crop year, from Beptember 1st, 1877, to March 1st, 179, of wheat and flour, In round numbers, 34,HO0,0O0 cwt., which Is 00 per cent. Increase over Inst year, and slightly exceeds the very large total of the corresponding time two years ago. The countries from which these supplies were chiefly derived were the United States, which furnished about 43 per cent., then Russia 14 per cent., (Jermany and British India about 10 per cent, each, and British North America about $ per cent. It Is a remarkable fact that notwithstanding the embargo upon trade In the Black Bea and the Danube, caused by the war, the receipts of wheat from Russia were slightly larger than for the corresponding six months last year before hostilities com menced, and about equal to the average for the three preceding seasons. This would seem to Indicate that the surplus of the Russia wheat crop has not been prevented from reaching the market, but has found new outlets, so that the amount yet to come forward Is less than has been generally estimated, and this is in accordance with the latest information from the Black Sea ports. The estimated value of the imports of wheat and flour Into the United King dom for the six months is $110,000,000, which is the largest in the history of the trade. This value of all cereal produce imported during the same time was $170,000,000. This is an enormous sum for a country to pay out for breadstuff's in half a year, besides drawing upon Its home grain produce for nearly two-thirds as much more. Farmers as Bankrupts. An Kastern exchange says that, " financially, the farmer Is the safest man in the country. Of eleven hun dred and twelve bankrupts in Massa chusetts, only fourteen were farmers, and yet the farming community number full half the population. The people must live, and while the use of luxuries may be diminished by hard times, there will always be a call for the produce of the farm." This statement would not be true of western farmers. The pro portion of farmers among those who take the benefit of the bankrupt act would average certainly, more than ten percent, in the central Western States. Twenty per cent, would probably be nearer -correct. The reason why our farmers are more in debt than their Eastern brethern is found in their greater opportunities to speculate and buy land. Xotoneiu twenty of the many who are irretrievably in debt in volved themselves in carrying on their legitimate business. Their misfortunes have come upon them iii consequence of speculation, and more usually in gratifying an insane desire for more land land which they were unable to improve, and which, therefore, remains unproductive, and a constant burden upon them, in the way of taxes and interest with no return. Indiana Farmer. Glycerine. Glycerine is the alkaline base of fats and fixed oils. It is a clear, limpid fluid, haviug a very pleasant sweet taste, and is applied to numerous uses in medicine and the arts. It will not freeze even at very low temperatures. At ordinary temperatures it is probably one of the least volatile liquids known. These prop erties reuder it a valuable liquid to be used in what are called wet gas-metres. The glycerine sold for this purpose has been, however, generally a gross imposi tion upon the public, as the impurities it contains have in a great many cases ut terly destroyed the metres in which it has been used. Its soothiugand healing prop erties render it a valuable remedy for the diseases of the skin, resulting in chap ped hands, sore nose, salt-rheum, and many other similar affections. It is often so impure that it acts as an Irritant rather than as a healing agent. To test its purity it should be agitated with mil phurie acid. If pure, its color will change to a light brown, with scarcely any evolution of gas. If impure, large quantities of gas will le given off, which ceases upon stopping the agitation, and is again renewed upon h renewal of the hak!ng. Nail in the foot.
