Wheat Crop in Great Britain.

Wheat Crop in Great Britain.
 The London Times, received by rthc last European mail, contains a statement showing the estimated wheat crop of Great Blitain the cur rent harvest year. From this we summarize as follows: The area re- turned as under wheat in the year IS7Swas 3,332, ,OOO acres. Allow ing foran average yieldOf P bushels to the acre, gives total of I6, ,3O6, ,OOO bushels. Deductingi the seed wheat, would leave s5,OOO, ,OoO bushels for home consumption. But the require ments ot the thirty -four million peo- pie, estimated at 5 1-2 bushels per cdpitd, foots up 195, ,5OO,OOO bushels. Thus more than 1OO.OOO,OOO bush ssels will be required from abroad. It Is not calculated that the distress now prevailing will lessen wheat consumption, although It will have its effect upon animal food. Wheat is now lower in Great Britain than at any time during the present cen tury. The Times express regret that the outlook for the British far mer is not an encouraging one, but calculates that the low prices now prevailing will lessen the cost of bread this year to the consumers about S7E, 100000, of which $40 100000 vii be at the expense of foreign wheat-growers.
 BUrrER-MAKING.-The dairymen of Illinois were recently in session when John Stewart, a dairy farmer of Anamosa, read q paper on butter making, from which we extract the following:
 Dairy-rooms should be construct ed with view to an even temper ature and good ventilation. Ice should never be put into the milk, which should be kept at a temper ature of GO or 62 degrees until the cream was raised. If possible, the milk should stand for thirty-six hours, provided it did nOtshow signs ms of thickening sooner. It should be very closely watched in muggy weather. The cream should always be taken off before the milk was aI- lowed to thicken. Taking off the cream at the proper time was one of the most essential points in but CT making. Cream should be little acid when put into the churn, and the temperature should be 5S to 60 in summer and 62 to 65 in winter. Churning should cease as soon as the butter came, before it formed in mass, and, while the butter was in this granulated state, clear, cool water or brine should be used free ly in washing out the buttermilk The proper kind of package was of great importance. The butter should always be pressed close to the sides and bottom, and filled to a level with the top. It should be covered with piece of clean, bleach- ed muslin, with the starch all washed out, saturated in brine, and cut so as to fit. A thin coat of wet salt should be spread over it.
