AGRICULTURAL.
The Coming Wheat Crop.

From the reports gathered by those whose
business it is to estimate the crop in advance
it appears that the prospects of the wheat
crop of 1880 in the Central Western States
are as follows: In Indiana, the State that
last year produced 100000 and stood at
the head of the list, the acreage devoted to
winter wheat has been increased 20 or 25
per cent. and it is all looking finely. In Ohio
the acreage is increased SO per cent. and the
yield promises to be immense. In Michigan
the increase is put at 20 per cent. and the
yield promises to exceed that of last year.
Wisconsin reports show similar condition
of the crop wherever winter wheat is grown.
and the statements show that much more of
it was sown last fall than ever before; in
some counties the breadth of winter wheat is
80 per cent. larger. No winter wheat seems
to have been sown in Minnesota, but the
breadth to be sown in spring wheat will be
from 10 to 25per cent. greater than formerly.
In Iowa but small amount of winter
wheat was sown and the general appearance
of much of that is poor. There WILDE about
the usual area of spring wheat sown.
In Nebraska a larger breadth of spring
wheat will be sown than in 10. The winter
wheat generally looks well.
Illinois has much larger breadth growing
than last year and the reports are: promis-
ing: in good condition; very promising; up
to the average; looking well; will be inn
mense; never better; etc.
Missouri reports show an increased area in
wheat of about 20 per cent. and prospect of
more than an average yield.
In Kansas the outlook is said to be so per
cent better than last year at this time. In
most sections the report is good, very good,
etc. In the western counties, though, it has
been too dry and no crop will be raised.
Kentucky and Tennessee reports show bet
ter than the average prospect.
Taking the country through there is every
reason to expect an increase of the enormous
crop of last year of at least 20 per cent; and
as there is now on hand enough of the old
crop to supply all demands until harvest there
is probability of the lowest prices next fall
ever quoted. If the crop meets present expec-
tations and there is not another famine year
across the water this is certain to be the
case.

" Only a Soldier. -
AN INCIDENT.

Cnarmed and unattended walks the car
Through Moscows busy street one winters day.
The crowd uncover as his face they see,
"God greet the czar!" they say.
Along his path there moved funeral,
Gray spectacle of poverty and woe.
wretched sledge, dragged by one weary man.
Slowly across the snow.
And on the sledge blown by the winter wilma,
And he who drew it bent before his load,
With dull and sullen air.
The emperor stopped and beckoned to the man;
"Who is't thou Dearest to the grave?'' he said.
Only soldier, sre!'' the short reply,
"Only soldier, dead"
only soldier! musng, said the cZar;
"Only Russian, who was poor and brave.
Move on. l follow. Such an one goes not
Unhonored to his grave
He bent his head, and silent raised his cap;
The car of all the Russias, pacing slow,
Following the coffin, as again it went
Slowly across the snow.
The passers of the street, all'wondering,
Looked on that sight, then followed silently;
Peasant and prince, and artisan and clerk,
All in one company.
Still, as they went, the crowd grew ever more,
Till thousands stood around the friendless grave,
Led by that princely heart, who, royal, true
Honored the poor and brave.

A French Way Of Washing Clothes.

A system of washing clothes has lately
been introduced in some French towns
which is worthy of special mention. Its
economy is so great as greatly to reduce the
cost. This is the process: Two pounds of
soap are reduced with little water to
pulp, which having been slightly warmed is
cooled in ten gallons of water, to which is
added one spoonful of turpentine oil and
two spoonfuls of ammonia; then the mix
ture is agitated. The water is kept at
temperature which may be borne by the
hand. In this solution the white clothes
are put and left there for two hours before
washing them with soap, taking care in the
meantime to cover the tub. The solution
may be warmed again and used once more,
but it will be necessary to add half spoon
full of turpentine oil and another spoonful of
ammonia. Once washed with soap, the
clothes are put in hot water, and the blue is
applied. This process, it is obvious, saves
much time, much labor and fuel, while it
gives to the clothes whiteness much supe-
rior to that obtained by any other process
and the destructive use of the washboard is
not necessary to clean the clothes from the
impurities which they contain-Exchange.

Backing Stoves.

The fine polish given stoves by those
skilled in the art is produced as follows
Have thin mixture of black varnish and
turpentine; apply this with paint or var.
nish brush to portion of the stove; then
with cloth dust this over with pulverized
British lustre or stove polish; then rub with
a dry brush. The stove must be perfectly
cold. The stove dealers buy the pulverized
stove polish, which is carburet Of iron. in
twenty-five pound packages. The process
conducted in this manner in quite brief, but
gives beautiful results,

OF treatment, or medicine, doctors, during this
time, did me any permanent good. My friends in
Maiden and elsewhere know that have been great
sufferer, and that my condition at times has been
such as to make me despair of being able to
find cure, or even a relief. In fact, when began
the use of CUTICURA. my limb raw and ten
