FARM AND GARDEN.

WHICH SHALL IT BE, CATTLE OR
GRAIN.-Both. A mixed husbandry is
safest for the masses. The South has
suffered from scarcity Of meat and
milk, and plethora of corn and cotton.
Many Minnesota farmer has helped
to feed the East and England, while
he has been destitute Of milk for his
coffee, or butter for his superabundant
bread. 1t has been repeatedly shown
that those countries which produce
corn and cattle most largely, boast u
higher land valuation than the great
wheat countries. 1t is not only in In
diana and Illinois, but in the new State
Of Iowa rs we'll, where spring wheat
has ever been speciality. Taking n
broad view OF the future requirements
for meat and bread, we sec that it Is
the policy of all nations (Great Britain
alone eXccpted) to produce their bread
at home. They dare not risk depend
ence in so vital a matter. If Il bad har-
vest makes small deficiency, it can
probably be made good; a very a5und-
ant harvest may give IL small surplus.
Meat is less bulky and will better bear
the expense Of transportation; SO the
use of meat by European nations is in
creasing, and the price has steadily in
creased curing the past 80 years. On
the contrary, wheat, with temporary
fluctuations, Is no higher than in the
long ago. James Card says the cost of
bread in England was tarthing per
pound both in l770 and 1878, while
meat advanced from three and one
half to nino pence in the same time,
and from five TO nine pence between
1850 and 1878. The recent and unpre-
cedentcd 1olti9n demand Tor wheat is
the result in part, of a series Of extra
ordinary crop failures, which will not
permanently continue. The enlarged
demHnd for meat is IN far higher de-
gree the result OF causes more pcrman-
ent i'll their operation. Tho outlook
Tor meat is, therefore, better than tor
grain. Yet both will be required as
population increases, III rapidly enlarg-
ing quantities.
