THAT Quinine will cure chills and fever is
well known. But it is strange that the other
febrifuge principles contained in Peruvian
bark are more powerful than Quinine, and do
not produce any annoying head symptoms
like buzzing in the ears. This fact is proved
by DR. F. Wilhoft's Anti-Periodic or Fever

Grain I'm Europe and America.

Europe produces pow on an average
5,000,000,000 bushels Of gram, of which
Russia produces one-third, Germany and
France, 520,000,OOO each and Austria
50O,000,00O. The United States produces
1,600,OOO,O00 bushels, or about the same
as Russia. In order to appreciate the ad-
vantages of the United States, the popu-
ton should be taken into account; this is
for the United, 100000, and therefore
we produce forty bushels per head while
while Europe, with a population of quite
30OOOO,O00, produces sixteen bushels; Rus
STA twenty-six bushels per head and Great
Britain only four bushels per head. AS
the average quantity Of grain consumed,
per head, is fifteen bushels, we produce
nearly three times as much as we want.
Russia scarcely twice its wants, Europe on
an average all needed, but Great Britain,
not much more than one fourth. 1t will
be seen that the general production far
surpasses the consum ption, but this ex-
cess is absorbed by breweries and distil-
leries all over the world, which do more
to keep the price Of breadsruffs at high
figure than anything else.

The Quantity of Bread ia Barrel CT
Correspc ndencs Prairie Farmer
Until quite recently fall wheat has al
ways been preferred for grinding into
flour for bread. It grows the slowest
and is longest on the ground. AID
the proportion Of gluten is much greater
than in wheat sown in the
spring. 1t is altogether preferable in
southern climates, and the flour from it
brings much higher price, while it is
said to keep sweet and free from wea7il
much the longest.
Now come the Michigan millers and
tell us that barrel, weig hing 1876 pounds,
OF the starchy spring wheat flour Of
Minnesota and the North will make 27D
to $50 pounds of bread, while the winter
wheat flour of Michigan will not make
more than $40 pounds. Is this credible?
Ifso, is the bread from both equally
nutritious and "illing" as food? We
should like to know what the experienced
and able managers of the Prairie Farmer
say to this, which is certainly news to
most of us.
Can this be true? if so, it ought to be
more generally known. It is quite prob
able that Michigan winter wheat flour
makes less bread than southern Illinois
winter-wheat flour, when the climate is
drier. While this is novel way OF test
ing flour, it is certainly a correct one.
These millers state that flour made from
choice Lancaster wheat yielded 331
pounds of bread. Flour made from
Wabash river wheat yielded 3OS 10
pounds of bread for straight" and 80
10 pounds for "patent" processes.

Cooperative Farming.

Al experiment in CO. operative farming
has been tried IN England. Several years
ago Mr.. Brand, speaker in the house of
commons, announced his intention of
taking his laborers into partnership in
the profit Of his extensive farm of 67O
acres. The result of the experiment
shows that cooperative farming is not
likely oSprvoe successful. In theory,
the laborers should have been inspired
to more hearty and Enthusiastic labor by
a plan which promised them share in
the net profits, besides their regular
wages. But in practice, no result of this
