While the wheat crop Of the past season
has not been so large as in former seasons
sdll the price is so low at the West as to be
utterly unremunerative to the farmers. lii
the Middle and Eastern States, where the
grain is shipped to a fnal market the prices
are not so bad. In our own market, red
Western sells for SI.83aI. SO; Pennsylvania
and Delaware red for S1.91al.39, In New
York Western red and amber Western sells
for 81. .ssaI, ,4oi il Chicago s9la90; in St.
Louis prices range from so to S1.S0 and in
Cincinnati, SlO5as1.1O. But, in the great
grain producing districts Of Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where the only means Of
reaching the market, by the farmer, are bis
own teams and the rough roads, the price OBJ
aimed for his wheat fails to pay him for the
trouble of hauling. The Iowa Free Press says
that in Cass county, many farmers intend,
nnless The price of wheat should come Up 70
living standard, to feed their wheat TO cattle
aud hogs for market. But very lsle wheat
has been sold, and the prospects are that
none viii be sold, except in compulsory
cases. In Wisconsin co nplaints are nu.
merous and loud. Farmers dispose Of their
wheat for forty, fifty and sixty cents, and do
not receive sufficient money for their produce
to purchase supplies, at the rates at which
other things are held. We would not be sur
prised if the trouble should be found TO have
been caused, as it has been in former years,
by Chicago wheat ring, which runs down
the market at the West, until the farmer is
forced to sell at rainous prices, and when the
crop is all secured in the clutches of the ring,
they operate for and hold the grain until a
rise in the market is scared, when fortunes
are made by spectators, at the expense of
the farmer. Some of the farmers who can
afford to, appear 10 be pursuing the only plan
to defeat this move, and that is by holding
their crops for the present.
Oftbe English grain crop Of the season just
closed, the Mark Lane Express remarks;
"With regard 10 the late crop, We have in the
different results on different farms additional
proofs, il any were wanting that high farm
ing-whieh includes under draining and deep
culture-wilI, to a large extent, eounteraet or
neutralize the effects Of an nufavorable season.
It's fact that on most Of the lands highly
cultivated the crop has been good, and on
some farms nearly equal to that of last year.
while on lands TILED and treated in she ordi-
nary way, and undraiued, there viii be a CON
siderable deficiency "-PhHa a. Exchange

IHEEg is no household duty that is sub.
Ject Of more annoyance to housewives gener-
ally than that Of keeping paint clean, and yet
the operation is very simple and easy one.
All that IS necessary is to procure little
whiting on plate, some clean warm water
aud flannel cloth. Dip the cloth in the wa
ter, wiring 1t nearly dry, then take as much
whiting as will adhere to it, and With this wet
the painted surface. All the grease and dirt
viii be instantly removed; it sboula then be
washed off with clean water, aud rubbed dry
With chamois skin. It's said BY those who
have tried this method, that paint thus clean
ed looks nearly as well as new. It DOES not
inlure even the most deIicaaa color.

KEEPING WINTER PEARS.

No frait is worse treated than the lase au-
tumn aud winter pears. They are generally
gathered before their time, and then kept in
a dry atmosphere. What wonder IS il that
fruit which should be melting and delicious,
turns out to be shriyeled, tough and taste
less thing? Most late varieties hang on well,
and should be allowed to remain until shere
is danger Of hard frosts; they are to be care
fuily picked when dry. placed in boxes OF
barrels, and kept as cool as possible It is
not good plan to take them to the cellar
until the weather becomes SO cold as TO en-
danger their freezing. When in the celler,
the temperature must be kept as low as pos.
sibIe without danger.of frost. Do not mix
varieties in the same package. The different
sorts have each their own time for maturing.
a frequent examination will show how the
process Of ripening is going on, and the slow.
er this progresses the finer the fruit Is likely
10 be. Wheo the proper changes have taken
place within the fruit, it is indicated BY a
change in the color Of the skin. When this
commences the fruit may be taken in small
quantities at a time to a warm room. to fin.
ish off, We have seen even the d,spised
aad much abused Vicar Of Winfield. when
treated in this manner, prove itself mos,
acceptable pear.-ErchqHge

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The presence
here of Hon. John Rose, Minister of
Finance in the Canadian Government,
has caused the return of Mr.. Thornton,
the British Minister, from Newburyport,
where he had taken his family. The
visit of Mr.. Rose is induced by desire
to consult with the United States suthori-
ties respecting the new Reciprocity
Treaty, but more especially on business
connected with the Hudson Bay Com
pany's claims, Of which he is the repre-
sentative of Great Britain.
The President, to-day, in q CONVERSE
ton with several prominent Missis-
sippiaus, said it was his desire, and he
should accordingly instruct General
Ames and Reynolds in their preliminary
arrangements for the elections in Missis'
sippi and Texas, to observe entire fair
ness and impartiality.
Ali the members Of the Cabinet were
present at the regular meeting to-day.

inc tobacco forfeited to the Government
he saws : "When tobacco or cigars Tor
feited to the United States are sold by
order of the court, instead Of stamping,
this Office has sometimes allowed the
limited States Marshal to brand his name
upon the packages and the date OF SALE
and also to give to the purchaser Ger,
tifcate setting forth the circumstances, OF
the sale. This has been done in order
to protect the purchaser in the posses
sion of his goods, should any one after
wards call them in question for not being
STAMPED or for any other irregularity.
IF at time of sale it is made condi-
tion that the purchaser of forfeited or
bankruptcy goods shall back and stamp
them, and they are sold with that under,
standing, then the marshal is relieved
from any responsibility for the tax upon
The future currency Of the goods. The
purchaser takes the goods and assumes
The liability for stamping, etc. 1t is not
clear that the marshal can in any case
now sell without causing the goods first
to be stamped.
