Our Daily Bread.

The United States, Russia, Turkey, and
Egvpt are the principal nations which pro
duce more wheat than they consume.
The two fields last mentioned are exhaust
ed by the hungry ports along the Medlter-
ranean. leaving the United States and
Russia to mainly supply the surplus popu-
lation of the North. Ten years ago Russia
furnished almost half the bread imported
by England, while America furnished only
one-eiSth; now America furnishes one
half while Russia contributes only one
fifth. In 1874 the Russian crops greatly
diminished, leaving little for export, while
American exports doubled in three years.
The Russian crops of the last two years
have been scanty, giving American grain
still more signal advantage.
In 1850 the United States produced
100. .4S5.9 .944 bushels of wheat; in 1860,
l73,IO4 1884 bushels, and in 1870, no less
than 2S7,745,626 bushels. Nothing but
our tremendous industry and resources
enable us to hold our own in competition
with the giant of the North.
Russia has an enormous advantage OF
position. She can throw her grain into
Berlin, Paris, and London, at cost OF
20 cents a bushel, while American wheat
cannot reach its market from its distant
field for less than so or 60 cents. But, on
the other hand, American wheat is grown
by intelligent freemen, while Russian
wheat is produced by san ignorant and
Slothful peasantry, but very little raised
above the condition of slavery. They are
no longer serfs of the State, but they are
serfs of their parishes; they cannot own
land: they are subject to taxation and
liable to arbitrary arrest; there is penalty
fixed on industry, and very little encour-
arement given to any man to try to better
his condition. All independence and self
relience are prevented, and the workers
exist in communism, of wretchedness.
Efforts in this country towards procur,
ing a cheap outlet for wheat promise still
further to increase the lead of American
commerce. WINDOWS plan of cheap
transportation by opening the mouth Of
the Mississippi so that ships could safely
pass. will, when consummated, cause q
tremendous revival of the agricultural in
dustries of the West. The Mississippi
Valley will leap into threefold wealth IN
decade after the carrying of wheat tC
Europe is transferred from the rail to the
river. A saving of 10 cents bushel-
which is a low estimate of the difference
between land and water carriage-woulC
save $l0,00O,O00 a year to the States o
Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, anC
Minnesota, and American wheat cal
always be grown profitably for 81 bushel
and, with the sharp competition of Russia
it is not likely to average much more thai
that unless methods of transportation cal
be rendered simpler and cheaper.

Pampered Animals.

This subject deserves to be discussed and |
acted upon more extensively by our breeders |
than has hitherto been done. The enor- !
nous and rapidly increasing demand for |
meat which characterizes the food markets |
of these days has reacted in a remarkable
manner upon. the nature of the animals
that supply it. Formerly the animals that
furnished pork, mutton, and beef were
allowed to attain the age of three years and
upward before they were considered to be
ripe for the butcher; but now sheep and
pigs are perfectly matured at the early age
Of one year, and two-year-old oxen furnish
a large quota of our roast beef. The So
called improvement of stock Is simply the
forcing of them into an unnatural degree
Of fatness at an early age and this end Is
attained by dexterous selection and cross
ing of breeds, by avoidance of cold, diminish
ing as much as possible their muscular
activity, and lastly and chiefly, by over
feeding them with grain and concentrated
ailments.
Every one knows that man so obese as
to be unable to walk cannot be in healthy
state; vet many feeders of stock look upon
the mOnstrOusly fat bulls and cows of prize
celebrity as normal types of the bovine
tribe. 1t requires but little argument to
refute so fallacious notion. No doubt it
Is desirable to encourage the breeding of
those varieties of animals which exhibit
the greatest disposition to fatten, and to
arrive early at maturity; but the forcing of
individual animals into an unatural state of
obesity, except for purely experimental
purposes, is a practice which cannot be too
strongly deprecated. If breeders contented
themselves with handing over to the
butcher their huge living blocks of fat, the
matter would not, perhaps, be very serious
but unfortunately it is generally the prac-
tice to turn them to account as siTes and
dams. Were such a one as we judge at a
cattle show, we certainly should disqualify
every extremely fat animal entered for com
petition among the breeding stock. Unless
parents are healthy and vigorous, theii
progeny are almost certain to be unhealthy
and weakly ). and it is inconceivable that al
extremely obese bull, and an unnaturally
fat COW, could be the progenitors of healthy
offspring.
We should By all means improve our liv
stock, but we should be careful not to over
do the thing. If we must have ponderou
bulls and COWS at our fairs and exhibitions
let us condemn TO speedy immolation thOs
unhappy victims to most absurd fashion
but in the name Of common sense let u
leave the perpetuation of the species to il
dividuals in a normal state whose heart
are not hypertrophied, and whose lung
are capable of effectively performing til
function Of respiratiOn.-Proole Fofmcr.

God is Love.
HY FRED. wILLIIx FABER.

BY FRED. wILLIAE FABER.
Souls Of men, why will ye scatter.
Like crowd Of frightened sheep.
Foolish hearts, why will ye wander
From q love 30 true and deepl
was there ever kiEa-ss shepherd.
Half so gentle, half 50 sweet,
As the Saviour, who would have us
Come and gather round His feet'
It is God His love looks mighty,
But Is mightisr than IL seems
lis our Father and His Gondness
Goes Ear cut beyond our dreams.
There's a wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the wilderness Of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There Is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than ap In Heaven;
There Is no place where earth's lailings
Have such kindly judgment given.
There Is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There il mercy with the Saviour,
There ls healing in His blood.
For The love Of God il broader.
Than the measures Of mans mind;
And the heart Of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
But we make His love too narrow,
BY false limits Of our own;
And we magnify His strietness
With q zeal He will not own.
There Is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed:
There Is JOY for all the members
In the sorrows Of the Head.
Pining souls come nearer Jesus;
And, oh, come not doubling thus;
But with faith that trusts more braveIy
His huge tenderness for Us.
If cur love were but more simple,
We should take Him AZ His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness OF our Lord.
