THE VOICE OF CHRISTIANITY.
what Prevented Another War Be.
tween France and Germany.

Mr.. Edward jenkins, II. P, In a re-
cent address in London, mentioned as
an illustration of the power and in
luence Of Christianity, the proven
ton Of war within the past few weeks
between France and Germany.
when" said he, Prince Bismarck's
determination became known to stop
the preparations going on IN France,
and to crush her once more by sending
German troops across the Rhine, did
the nations Of Europe stand forth, and
protest against such an outrage, and
intimate that they would stand by
France rather than see her
crushed? No. What was It, then,
that prevented the catastrophe of an
other European WARP A simple circu-
lar was sent from London, pleading on
behalf Of truth, justice, peace, and
Christianity, and the simple circular
went the round Of the courts Of Eu-
rope, and did mJre to prevent that i'm
pending war than the words and action
Of any foreign pOtentate. Such re-
suit would not have followed In olden
times, and its success IN these days
was due to the fact that the influences
Of Christianity had deeply permeated
society, and men were more and more
applying its principles, not only in
their own affairs, but to home and In
tarnational politics"

UNION AND AMERICAN.
FARM AND GARDEN.
WHEAT GROWING IN THE UNITED
STATES.

1t appears highly probable to the
writer that Tennessee Will one day be-
come a large wheat-growing State.
The Rural Nelv Yorker Of June 5 has
leading editorial on the decline of
wheat culture in Western New
York, which we recognize as coming
from the pen Of a farmer whom we
knew in Genesee county forty years
ago, the center Of the famous Genesee
wheat region. He says: "Cur early
settlers sold wheat at three to four
shillings a bushel. They had to DO it
but it was none the less a hard and
losing business"
To speak Of selling wheat at three
TO four shillings a bushel," is still
clinging to the currency Of
New York before the Revolution.
Old men do it, and especially farmers.
He means wheat was sold at from thir-
ty-fve to fifty cents a busheL He con-
tinues: Reckoning the cost of keep
ing up the fertility of the soil as a part
of the expense in growing wheat, this
grain cannot be grown in Western
New York for much, if any less than
$3.50 per bushel."
This depends entirely upon he cost
os fertilizers, labor, the interest and
taxes on the land, and partly on its
value for other purposes. An acre of
ground worth $500 to raise apples for
the London market cannot afford to
grow wheat for any market at SL5O a
bushel.
The Rural Nelg Yorker is right in
saying that the impoverishment
Of our best wheat soils IN
Minnesota, California and other States
must continue one or two generations
longer. Our highest wisdom sees no
farther ahead than to lock the stable
door very securely after the. horse is
stolen. After,we have exhausted five
million acres Of our best ground and
cotton lands in this State, we will have
fifteen million left On which we can
raise wheat at a profit by pursuing a
better system of farm economy. This
better system viii feed Systematically
the soil that feeds the people, whether
at home or abroad. Now we starve the
land to feed ourselves.
