consumption has beat ont the increase
of population five-fold.
II is evident that the increase here
is due not only to increase OF pepnla-
ton, but to the increase Of that por.
,ion of 1T using wheat as food, aud
also to a larger consumption per
head by those using it. Therefore
there need be no fear that we will
ever be able to produce more wheat
than the world consumes. The ex-
tension of the culture IN California,
Oregon or Washington Territory, or
the Great Northwest is not TO be
dreaded. 1t is true that whcat may
be a good deal cheaper than it is now,
but this indicates plenty and in
creases the number of consumers.

viii have to use fertilizers and keep
up the quality of production. With
an increased production we need
have no fear that lower prices will
not pay. With an increase of
60 per cent, reduction of one-third
in price would pay, allowing mar
gin for the cost of fertilizers. The
more wheat We can produce and the
greater care We can take in tie cul-
turc of our land the better. Then
the r,isgivings that have found ut
,erances through the press and at
meetings of farmers will have no
place.

that France has increased her acre
age 16 per cent. since 1858, hat is in

acre has also increased. Prussia has
increased the outcome of her cereal
crops from 102 100000 bushels in

the average yield IN Anstro-.Iungary

NOTES FOR WOOL GROWERS.

The experience of the wool grow
ers of New Iceland and Australia is
of consi lerable value to men in the
same business in remote parts of the
Pacific States and Territories, and in
places difficult of access. In such
districts growers will always find
that the product which pays best is
a sound Nlerino, long enough for
combing purposes says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin.
The question of shipping greasy
wool or washed wool depends on the
growers facilities for preparing it.
If soap be used, one should avoid
crude a!kali, or any soda which
might, with hot water. render the
wool harsh or ruin the sparkle. SIM
lie cold water, unless used imm"di-
atcly after shcaring, is apt to set the
yolk, aud so less, rs the market value
OF the wool. Q partial washing
sometimes given rs and creeks
before shraring, is s%or,h little. II
sheep have been we'll wasked before
sIearing, dust must b. avoided.
When wools are to be washed
after shra,ing it will he found that
the coarscr gra'les are apt to become
tangled in the securing machine, and
this lessons their value. In the case
of superior ffocks of fine wool sheep
the proper appliances for thorough
washing should be procured, and will
soon pay tor themselves.
A special circular recently issued
for New Zealand farmers, after dis
cu-sing the above points, remarks
that lambs wool should be more
generally sl,orn than it is, but that
local conditions must determine
whether or not it is profitable; also
that it should he shipped in the
grease, rather than washed or secured
as it can be worked better when in
the grease, and SO br:ngs big her
price.
As regards siearing, scconl cuts
bv the operators should not br allow

and locks should he kept separate
from the rest of, the fleece. Black
wool should be uut in separate

said TO cause trouble in many cases
to the manufacturers, small portions
