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.
