We believe Saline county was the iirr'

the influence Of so wise measure her
career has emphatically been ''onwnid

made of ase, and she now ranks anon,
the first counties, agr;cuitnraiiy speak

how any portion Of the people in th'
nelc part Of Kansas can DO without -
herd law As far as we can discover,
counties which depend for ther pro
ducts aon the fenced area are making
little Roadway now 1t is a fixed fact thai
more small grain is raised in the ives,
half Kansas than in the East half. And
nearly all of that grain is produced IN
counties which have adopted tho herd
law. This part of Kansas would not

Tho herd law. 1t seems to us THAI

Allow not more than one fish to two
quarts of water. Use the same kind OF
water, whether well or river; change il
every other day in summer, and twice
each week in winter. Keep clean salt
and pebbles at the bottom, washing it
occasionally or replacing with a fresh
supply. Use small net rather than
the hand while changing the water.
Feed with cracker, yolk of egg, lettuce
or flies, once each week, except in cold
weather; remove any crumbs that may
remain on the surface after feeding.
Do not feed at all from November to
the end of February, and but little
during the following three months. Ii

me present stock OF wheat In the coun-
try IN sight as it is called, that is,
practically on the market, is not less
than ten millions of bushels. In the
face of a more extensive demand last
year, stocks were about two millions OF
bushels less.
Trustworthy estimates about the
amount of land under wheat this year
the United Kingdom are not yet forth
coming. AS the acreage of 1874 was
3, S333, 600, or pretty near the maximum
area of available wheat-land in that
country, the British harvest of this year
cannot be perceptibly affected by the
increased quantity planted. The aver
age yield per acre of British wheat was,
last year, thirty-one bushels, or one
and a half bushels above the standard
average As the average yield of the
last nine years has been one and halt
bushel below the standard average, it
may fairly be expected that the total
yield of 1875 will fall short of that for
1874. The increased consumption con-
sequent upon low prices must also en-
| ter into the question of future demand
Add to these considerations the fact
that all our rivals in the British wheat
trade, are, with the exception of Rus.
sia, practically out of the race. Even
Russia, which used to send to England
twice as much wheat as we did, has
even under the stimulus of super.
abundant harvest, sent during the last
eight months but little over third o
the amount of our imports. " hile
therefore, the prospects of our export
wheat trade cannot be called brilliant
they are certainly resssuring. Only
producers must make up their mind:
to pretty long period of almost sta
tionary prices, while they may reason
ably expect to find some compensation
in the increased purchasing power O
their money.-[N. Y. Times.

Our Wheat Trade.

The accumulation of the eXtraordi
nary stock of five millions of bushels o1
wheat in Chicago is, we believe, an un.
exampled phenomenon in the history
of the grain trade of this country. Now,
that a "break" has at length been
reached in the prices at which wheat
has been held in the interior, there
ought to be brisk revival in the ship.
ments from this and other ports, and
prices ought to reach what may be call.
ed their normal equilibrium. The
grasshopper "scare," which has been
carefully nursed for speculative pur.
poses, has lost any further power to in.
fiuence the market, and the largely in.
creased area of land under wheat in
Northeastern Nebraska, in Kansas, and
elsewhere, Joined to the most favorable
reports of the appearance of the crop
in these districts, has convinced the
majority of producers of the folly ol
holding any longer for rise.
The possibilities Of our wheat exports
during the next three months can be
most correctly gauged by reference to
the English demand, and to the extent
to which it has already been supplied.
For the harvest year beginning Sep
tember 1, 1874, and ending August 81,
1875, it was estimated by the best Eng
lish Judges that the demand would be
%. zoo. 900 quarters. The yield OF the
last wheat harvest of the United King
dom has been, with the nearest attain
able approach to accuracy, set down at
l3,700,000 quarters. The importation
Il e., ~ L. he
August 81 is therefore nine millions of
quarters, or seventy-two millions of
bushels. During the eight months be-
tween September l, 1874, and April 80,
1875, the United Kingdom had already
received nearly forty-six millions of
bushels of foreign wheat, leaving twen-
ty-six millions of bushels to be supplied
during the four months between May
1 and August 81. Of the f0rty-siX mil
lions above noted, twenty-five and one
half millions of bushels were received
during the closing four months of last
year, and twenty and one-half millions
during the first four months of this
year.
The question which, Immediately in
terests the wheat growers of the United
States is what proportion of the British
demand is likely to be drawn from this
country. Of the twenty and one-half
millions of bushels of wheat imported
during the past four months Of 1875,
nearly twelve and one-half millions
were drawn from the United States.
OF the twenty-five and half millions
imported during the last four months
of 1874, q somewhat larger proportion
was contributed by this country. But
taking the ratio maintained between
January and the end of April, our pro-
portion of the estimated British wheat
imports up to the end of August ought
to be about sixteen million Of bushels.
