Colorado Wheat.

A gentleman writing from Colorado gives
the following interesting facts about Colorado
wheat: The yield of wheat per acre through
out the State is from twenty-five to thirty bush
els, but there are localities where three tunes
that amount Is produced. GOV. j. L. Routt
showed me. while at his office, samples OF
Egyptian which he says yielded cightytvc
bushels TO the acre. This seems like iubu.
lous Weld but it is undoubtedly true. as the
governor is very reliable gentleman. lie
also exhibited samples OF White Australian
wheat that Welded rs high As sixty bushels 70
the acre. The Egyptian i peculiar looking
wheat The principal head sol ordinary size
with a cluster of four or five smailcrheads pro
iecting from the lower end Of it and the ker
nels are so very large and their number Sc
numerous upon each stalk that the enormous
yield is more easily accounted for. The White
Australian has very large head and the kcr
nails are in cluster of three Oh each side OF the
stalk, and each head contains eighty-iivc to
one hundred and fifty kernels. All the sam
pies (and he had many on eXhibltlon,) were
the largest and finest | have ever seen. The
wheat Is all of bright yellow or golden color
instead of the dark red color OF our Minnesota
wheat, and the kernels are large, plump and
hard, and average at least one-ha!f larger thar

to feed the rats and mice Of our country rs it
does to feed our poor, and even more. They

something must be done to stop their ravagcs,
when raid is made on them with terriers,
fcrrets, and many are driven out of runs or
killed This quiets them down little, and
peace declared, until the rats again become
troublesome. The most ciicctual way to get
rid of them is to poison thcm for which pur-

small cubes of bread, is very ctlcctual, though
nothing can be gotten in this line which Is not
dangerous to other beings. Small bits Of cork

as big as a mans thumb. The wings, when

Mr.. c. c. Fulton, of the Baltimore .lmcric0H,
now travelling in Europe, says that at the Paris
Exposition there Is probably larger display
Of ornamental and fancy goods than there was
at the Centennial Exhibition, but in articles Of
utility and useful inventions, ii is so inferior
that there can he no comparison Instituted.
He is also displcased with the interior arrange
mcnt Of the main building. The greater por-
ton of the ceiling is not more than twenty-five
feet in height, and continuous partitions de
stroy all conception us to the breadth Of the
building. Without IA map in hand the whole
interior thus becomes IA labyrinth through
which the stranger must wander ut random,
not knowing where the passage through which
he is strolling may lead him. He can only
turn to the right or left at long intervals and
then will find himself practically out of the
Exposition, in the Street of All Nations. The
grounds Of the Exposition are criticized, the
walks being composed Of rough gravel, which
is very disagrceablc to walk ON. At Philadel.
phia black asphaltum was used for walks.
Before the Centennial Exhibition was opened
1t pleased some of the English papers to say
the Americans could not successfully conduct
Il great international exhibition, that personal
wranglcs would be rife, that foreigners would
not be treated fairly, that the hotels restau-
rants, etc. would charge visitors fabulous
prices, and so on Not one of those dScour-
aging predictions was fulfilled. All admit that
the Centennial was a grand affair and none
but constitutional grumblers complained Of
their treatment while here, either by the citi-
zcnS or by officials. 1t has heretofore been
considered that the French were the most sue
cesstul organizers Of such institutions as great
exhibitions, but all Americans and not few
Englishmcn already bear testimony to the fact
that grand and successful as the Paris EXpoSi-
ton is, the Centennial far surpassed 1t in all
that constitutes the chief attractions of such IA
