EBRD OHM, ot
London, says: Con
tinued small ship
ments to Europe,
and a consequent
further reduction
In tho quantity
afloat, have helped
to counterbalance
tho usually de
pressing effects of
first supplies ot
new wheat, and In a general way it
may bo said that tho trade Is begin
ning to feel the effects ot the paucity
of foreign wheat In view, as manifested
in tfee quantity afloat for tho United
Kingdom, which Is now little over
12,000,000 bu, against 24,800,000 bu
last year, and which means that sup
plies of foreign wheat must bo mod
erate for Bome tlmo to come, a fact
which English fanners with tholr new
wheat In excellent condition will not
bo Blow to take noto of. There arc, in
deed, several sufficient reasons why tho
lmmcdiato future of wheat should bo
regarded with less discouragement thnn
was tho caso a month ago. First and
foremost, It Is becoming evident from
tho various reports received that tho
American crop In not likely to bo ns
largo as was expected, and, indeed, will
fall rather considerably below last
year's total, a poor spring wheat crop
much moro than counterbalancing an
improved winter wheat crop. In the
second placo it Is now tolerably clear
that Franco will not havo tho abun
dant crop onco looked for, enough be
ing known ot tho threshing results
In tho south, southwest, center and caBt
of Franco to warrant tho statement
that only an ordinary avcrago crop has
been obtained in these districts. In
tho north and northwest, where tho
harvest Is now drawing to a close, tho
results are relatively hotter, but tho
best Informed authorities affirm that
tho totnl crop will not exceed and will
probably not equal that of last year,
so that, as we pointed out in our last
review, as tho stocks of old wheat havo
been practically exhausted In tho ab
senco of any important supply ot for
eign wheat In tho post Bcason, France
will In all probability Import consid
erably moro foreign wheat in 1896-7
than Bho has In 1895-6. Tho Paris Bul
lotln des Hallcs, wo may add, deduces
from tho recent official crop report that
tho total crop this year will bo about
118,750,000 hectolitres, againBt 119,500
000 hectolitres last year. So far, how
ever, purchases of foreign wheat in
Franco aro difficult, owing to Its rela
tively high price; Danublan wheat, for
Instance, sells at Dunkirk or Calais at
equal to 33s Cd per 480 lbs. duty paid,
while at Llllo new home-grown wheat
s offered at 31s to 32s per 480 lbs.
Anothor reason why the trade should
bo less despondent Is to be foucAln the
latest' official Russian crop report, and
according to which neither the Ghlrka
wheat nor tho Azlma wheat crop Is
likely to bo an averago, although the
former Is regarded as promising bet
ter than the latter. Wheat buyers gen
erally have apparently become so ex
tremely cautious that they need not be
reminded of tho fact that early crop
estimates, specially In America and
Russia, are apt to bo misleading, but
under tho present extraordinary cir
cumstances In regard to the statisti
cal position, any marked deterioration
In the general crop outlook might find
them napping.
Tha Foar-IIamtrnil I'oand Cow.
The possibilities of butter production
In matter of yield per cow per season Is
ono of great Interest, writes F. W.
Mosoley In Nebraska Farmer. Other
things being equal, the smaller the
herd tho easier great results can be
obtained. Some of the beat results ure
shown when but ono cow is kept. Yet
no one will dony such results cau bo
approximated when a greater number
of cowb are kept, but in such cases the
cows to start with must bo equally
Lgood and each must havo the samo at
tention given to tno one cow. "uut,
says some reader, "that would not
pay." If results such as aro given be
low could be obtnlned It would pay.
Mr. John Prltchard, Castleton, Rut
land county, Vt has a cow with a rec
ord worthy of emulation. In reply to
an Inquiry made by tho writer last
spring some factB wero given and are
quoted as follows:
"Our cow 1b sir years old, Is three
fourths Jersey, and Is of good size. Sho
calved the 25th of February, went dry
six weeks, had no grain while dry, but
plenty of hay and corn fodder and a
good warm stablo. After ehe calved wo
began to feed hor and gradually In
creased it to two quarts gluten meal
and two quarts of middlings In the
morning and the same at evening, with
a peck ot cut potatoes per day and a
good ration ot hay all she would eat
clean. She has made threo pounds
three ounces of butter per day somo
weeks and we use all the milk and
cream needed for our family of two and
some visitors. We do not claim to use
a great deal, but Just all we want. We
raise our cream In a portable creamery
tbe Occident. Last year our cow made
378 pounds ot butter, and wo had a
family of Ave for over two months a
grandchild taking three pints ot new
milk every day during that time."
It will be seen that as the cow had
gone dry six weekB ot the year and that
378 pounds of butter were made, the
yield per week (forty-six weeks) was
nearly eight and one-fifth pounds per
week. Had none ot the milk or cream
been taken for other uses the butter
product would havo been considerably
i greater. That It would have been more
thnn four hundred (400) pounds fot tho
year no ono can doubt but call It Just
that and you havo a standard worth
working to reach. No ono can deny
oven at present low prices ot butter
there 1b a good profit In keeping a 400
pound cow.
IUnt Height for flronnd Water.
F. H. Storor, In his work oa "Agri
culture," speaking of tho height to
which ground-water should rise In or
dcr to do the most good, says:
"Tho height of tho ground-water may
be ascertained In any special case by
noting that of tho surface ot a well,
or any open ditch ot hole In which tho
water Is standing. Dut it is to bo ob
served that tho water in such ditch or
well is usually a littlo lower than that
of tho water In tho soil. It must bo re
membered also that tho foregoing
statement would rarely bo true for a
stiff clay soli. In clay boIIb tho wells
aro commonly 'ovcr-Bhot wells as tho
term is; that Is, they aro moro pits to
receive and hold the surfaco water,
which flows Into them at the top. Tho
proper height ut which ground-water
should etand In order best to conduce
to tho prosperity of the growing plant
Js a question of no little complexity.
There aro numberless swamp plants
which prefer to havo their roots con
stantly immersed .In ground-water.
Rico, also, and the cranberry and ribbon-grass,
and a few other useful
grasses, flourish with their roots ac
tually wot. But as a general rule the
plants of cultivation cannot bear such
an excess of this kind of moisture. II
Is with them much as It is with tr3
greenhouse plants, thero must bo .
holo In tho bottom of tho pot or tin
plants will drown. Many plants hav
ing powerful roota do indeed send some
of them down to ground-water. There
arc Innumerable examples on record,
for that matter, of tho choking of
drains by the roots of various kinds of
clover, and of turnips, grape-vines and
the like. It Is possible to grow a great
variety of plants In mere water. But
in splto of all this, It is notorious that
plants flourish best in soils where the
ground-water is several feet from tho
surfaco of the soil. In tho cultivation
ot moors and bogs In Europe, It is held
as ono essential condition of success
that tho ground-water must be kept at
least threo feet below tho surfaco ot
the land in summer, and as much as
two feet below tho surfaco In winter.
Nitr on Small Frolt.
For largest yield of perfect berrleB,
two favorable seasons aro necessary.
Tho first to perfect the root, tho plant
and tho fruit bud. Tho root Is tho
foundation on which futuro success de
pends. Tho tint of flower and perfec
tion of fruit proceeds from tho root. Its
best development requires flno, rich
soil, plenty of molsturo and frequent
cultivation. With good roots, vigorous
plants and canes may bo expected.
Vigorous canes well pruned, free from
weeds and grass and having sufficient
room to grow, will form many strong
vigorous buds for next season's fruit.
Theso fruit buds are promises of fu
turo payment and tho first season's
work Is not done until they are care
fully prepared for their long winter
sleep. Tho second season Is a repeti
tion of tho first, as the same care that
matures this year's plant also matureB
fruit on last year's cane. Tho fruit
grower should then remember that In
preparing tho soil, In selecting plants,
In hoeing, cultivating, pruning, thinning
of fruit, protection, and In every little
detail, ho Is performing an Important
part In tho quality and quantity of his
fruit one or two years hence. Neglect
the work but a slnglo week, and like
an ugly thread woven Into a beautiful
pattern, It shows Imperfection ever af
ter. The eternal now Is tho time to
grow good fruit. In many parts of tho
northwest, strawberries have been al
most a failure because of Imperfect root
growth last year. In many cases even
Btamlnate varieties were bo weak and
pollon so Impotent, they could not fer
tilise their own blossoms. Lack of pol
lenlzatlon ts tho direct cause of failure.
This weakness of root growth extends
to new sotting this year, and great
care will be necessary even under favor
able circumstances, to placo new beds

Flaeneit or Solt Important.
Prof. Milton Whitney, of Johns Hop
kins university, has determined that,
In an ordinary wheat soil, there aro at
least 10,000 million soil grains in a
gram (about a pint), and In Bomo of tho
flnoat soils this number has reached
24,000 millions. In coarse or sandy
soils, the particles, by reason of greater
weight, take a closer arrangement;
hence there 1b less air space. The moro
soils are divided up and made fine, Ilka
dust, the more air space, and for same
reason, the more surface In a given
bulk. To Illustrate: A cubic foot ot
hard granite has only six square feet
ot surface exposed to air or water. If
ground to fineness of a good wheat soil,
then a cubic foot will have over two
acres of surface, and In the finest lime
stone soil of Maryland the exposed sur
faco ot all the soil grains in a cubic foot
exceed three acreB in extent. The
amount of surface is important, as tho
water in the soil adheres to theso sur
faces, and tho roots occupy the spaces
between In search of food. The moro
fine spaces there are the more fine root
lets there will bo, and the more food
the plant can gather from the soil.
Wet Lands Wasto Manure. Wot
lands waste the manure, by not allow
ing ready absorption, tho valuable
parts ot tho manure frequently pass oft
in vapor and aro carried by the
winds to enrich your neighbor's soil,
who, by underdrainage, reaps tbe bene
fit of your labor as well as his own.
Good feeding should not be governed
hv tho nrlce of dairy oroducts. Neither
should the enthusiasm of thn dairv-
men fluctuate with tho market. Con-
Btaacy Is needed in both cases.

Points of Etiquette.
Miss Lillian asks: "1. Should a lady
extend her hand to a gentleman when
they are Introduced, or should sho wait
for him to extend his hand? Also, is It
proper for people to shake hands when
they are Introduced? 2. What should
a lady say to her partner when, after
the dance, ho says: 'I am very much
obliged'? 3. What colors are most be
coming to a brunotte? 4. How should
a girl of 16 wear her hair?" Answer
1. Handshaking when people are In
troduced depends upon circumstances
and localities. In some places it is
not at all the custom; In others every
body does It. It only remains to con
form to tho popular Idea on the sub
ject. It may bo said, however, that
ladies and young persons should never
make the first advances in such cases.
Indeed, some excellent authorities do
not approve of handshaking at Intro
ductions ut ull, therefore one Is nut
likely to go wrong if one refrains fror.
this form of greeting. 2. After tha
dance, when your partner says "I am
much obliged," you may answer,
"Don't mention it," or "It was very
enjoyable," or, If tho music was good,
say, "With such a band, dancing 1b a
great pleasure." Try to think of
agreeable and appropriate things that
will suggest remarks of any sort ex
cept those that are personally compli
mentary. 3. Pink, yellow and red are
colors usually very becoming to bru
nettes. 4. A 16-ycar-old girl may wear

Thero seems to be no remedy for it,
as It Is said to be constitutional. As
to the hair falling out, that may bo par
tially remedied by tho use of strong
sulphur water either to bathe tho nead
or a3 hair wash and lotion. In ono case
tho hair was saturated with strong sul
phur water, and kept wet for about
twelve hours, then washed clean and
dried. This was repeated twice every

A little over five years ago I became
afflicted with a mnlady, the name of
which I do not know. My family have
been troubled the same when they ar
rived at my age, and they said 1 was
on the same road and that there was
no cure for mo. The symptoms were,
dizziness, loss of memory, and an titter
prostration of the nerves. The most no
table trouble was a swimming of the
head, when I cams In from a walk or
was out standing In the sun or doing
any kind of exercise at alL When I
would sit down, my head would swim
and everything would dance before my
eyes, and I would become so dizzy that
I would have to hold to a chair to keep
from falling; or If I were sitting dowa
and got up suddenly, everything would
whirl before me, and I would have te
hold to the chair tor some little time;
my memory was so poor that it wns dif
ficult for mo to remember some of my
beat friends. This state of things con

Third, be sincere. One who habitual

will Boon cease to find pleaouro In life.
Fourth, bo frank. A frank, open
countenance and a clear, cheery laugh
are worth far more even socially than

Fifth, be amiable. You may hi do &
vindictive nature under a polite ex

provocation brings out one as quickly
as the other, and ill-natured people are
always disliked.
