FUTURE PROSPECTS OF WHEAT CULTURE.
1t has now become settled fact that in the
future the wheat product OF Great Britain
will steadily decrease. The importations ill
to that country the present shipping seasolt
will no. be far from 100000, 900 of bushels.
IL is the demand for this vast quantity of
grain that has kept up the price i'm our own
markets to profitable point; and it is the iil-
ture demaad that will govern the price of
our wheat in the future. If that demand
shall keep even with the surplus which We
have to spare the price VIII be satisfactory,
but if our production shall overiun the neces-
stiles of our foreign customers, the price will
be so low that it will not pay the cost of pro-
ducing it. The fact, therefore. that large
tracts of land in Great Britain and Ireland
have been withdrawn from wheat culture and
have been turned into grazing fields and the
production OF meat, and that American fields
are now looked to for the supply OF grain,
should not tempt us to 60 out of our way 10
largely increase our wheat production. Gu
the contrary, our pan is to follow their ex-
ample, to keep our wheat production station
ary, and TO increase our stock of beef cattle,
sheep, and hogs, as much as possible, so as 10
supply ourselves and leave only moderate
excess for shipment. If Europe needs 100,-
100000 bushels and we have but 10000, 900 to
dispose of, the price of that 90,000,000 and
that Of all we need at home, in fact the price
of the whole crop, will advance up to the eX-
treme point tEat QUE customers can pay. But
if we have but a small quantity over ther
needs the price of cur whole production will
depend upon what they are willing to pay. lt
would not then be wise to increase our growth
of wheat, but rather to turn our attention 10
growing grass, aud our meat and dairy prod
ucts.---AmeTicdn Il Jricuttufist

following plan for seeding down lawn; ''Let

cen inches deep, raked down, with every
stone remov d, and seeded per acre with five
bushels of what is generally termed lawn
grass-seed, in the first requisite. The mix
ture would make should be twenty-eight
pounds of clear Kentucky blue grass, the
same of red-top, twelve pounds of white clo-
yer, az d ten pounds OF creeping bent-grass to
the acre. In sowing this seed do it three
several times, T. e., divide it into three par
GELS. Sow first east and west, then rake the
ground lightly: then sow north and south.
Iake again lightly, not over half an inch deep,
with light steel rake, then sow again the
last third of the seed east and west, and roll

was keeping his eyes riveted on the face of

said to the islander: ''Why are you looking
