The Corn Crop.

1t appears that we are not only to
have great wheat crop, but great
corn crop as well. The Com
merciM Price Cuave,at has the fol-
lowing:
''Throughout a large part of the
corn producing sections the weather
has been favorable in the recent
past, and there has been a steady
and gratifying improvement in the
condition and prospect of the crop,
and in a general way the outlook
may now be considered fattcring,
the only apprehension of significance
being in reference to the possibility
of damaging frosts in September in
the northern portion of the corn dis
tricts. The crop is generally 10 to
Is days later in growth than a year
ago in most sections, and would be
seriously injured by early hard
frost. s. \; y The late
ness and drawbacks of the planting
season awakened considerable of
apprehension in regard to the crop,
especially so in view of the shortage
last year and the depletion of stocks
and reserves in the country. But
that the possibilities, and even prob
abilities of the season, now favor a
crop of so per cent. greater proper
tions than that of 1881, and greater
than the yield of any previous year,
must ne PLAIN to any one that will
carefully peruse and analy7e the in
formation herewith given IS *
The Census returns show the corn
crop of 1879 to have been l, ,755 .oOo,-
900 bushels, and the Agricultural
Bureau reports have shown Ill.,
100000 bushels for 1880, and a re-
duction to les 100000 bushels for
1881. The special reports furnished
to the Cincinnati Price Current for
- of the prominent corn producing
States, indicate a total of 1926, ,OoO,-
900 bushels for these states, against
500, 6,ooo,o in 1881, 1878, 5000, 900 in
1880 and 1,s9s.ooo,ooo in 1879.
Estimates from reliable sources for
other sections of the country bring
the prospective crop for 1882 mp to
an aggregate of 800, 100000 bush
els.

Total yield of wheat

This is about fifty million bushels
less than the estimate of the New
York Commercial Bulletin; but our
authority does not give it as final
and promises a further review when
the results of threshing throughout
the country are known.
The figures for California and
those for Oregon and Washington
Territory, are those of the S. F.
Journal Of Commerce, with the odd
hundred of thousands of bushels left
off. They show California as the
banner wheat State of the Union, a
fact put forward months ago by this
journal. 1t is true that Illinois ap-
pears in the table for 51,5Oo,0Oo
bushels, or a million and half more
than California; but this is an excep-
tional year for Illinois, and only a
moderate one for California. Had
every acre planted in this state yield
ed as it did in 1880, we would have
had this year 56,ooo,ooo bushels,
while California, in 1880, produced
four million bushels more than Hi
nois has done this year.
Even with the season against CAL
ifornia, she has done better than any
other state outside of Illinois; has
produced one fourth more than all
the Middle states, New York, Penn
sylvania ETC.; indeed, exceeds the
whole yield of the Southern states
by million bushels, and produces
nearly forty times the yield of all
New England. -..
All this shows the great and grow
ing Importance of California as a
wheat producing state.

The Cattle Trade.

The price of beef cattle, though
somewhat lower than it has been for
some months, is still relatively high,
and Likely to ST continue for an in
definite period. A well-informed
correspondent, writing from Mon
tana, states that the present supply
in the chief cattle ranges of the West
is ample, but that it does not increase
in proportion to the increase of pop
ulation aud the European demand.
''The beef famine" he says, "is mere,
ly a panic and will soon be over; but
it is a warning Of what may really
occur if we do not take pains to raise
more beet" Last year we had in
the whole United States $4,000, 900
cattle, s9,ooo,ooo sheep, and s4,oGo,-
900 swine.
This is regarded by the writer as
inadequate to the demand of 5o.ooo,-
900 people, increasing at the rate OF
a million year from natural causes
and by the addition of another mil
lion from foreign emigration. Max
ing allowance for the consumption
of mutton and pork, he says: "We
are raising beef for 40, 100000 ofpeo.
pie, whereas we should be raising
beef for &C, 100000, in view of the
steadily progressive increase of popu'
lation and the European demand,
bearing in mind that 97e,4so cattle
were shipped to Europe in 1881
Our ability to raise cattle to an al
most indefinite extent is demonscra-
ted by the official surveys. They
show that the whole United States
contains 3,oo3,ss4 square miles, OF
which 100000 square miles are
set down as grazing lands.
The grazing lands on the Platte
Powder and Tongue rivers alone
amount to over 100000 acres o
the very best. The business of stock
raising must, of necessity, be con-

! Quoted at the west. 1t is only there
that extensive ranges can be had for
great herds. But the fear of Indians
and the ignorance of the Eastern
people of the profits arising from
stock raising have prevented many
from going into the business. There
is no longer any serious fear of In
dian outbreaks except in Arizona.
and the railroads stretching through
the territories offer every facility for
the transportation of cattle to mar
ket. The business of stock raising
is carried on by comparatively few
people, who do not desire to see it
extended The stories of dangers to
be encountered originate with them
1t costs them a mere trife to raise
cattle, and the returns are so large
that they are doing. all that lie in
their power to prevent competition.
The cattle run out all winter, and no
shelter or food is required for them
except that which nature provides.
In conclusion, the writer says that
there are cattle enough at this time
to meet at reasonable rates the needs
of consumers, and that prices have
been driven up by combination OF
spectators. The retail dealers and
butchers, of course, are no mole re-
sponsibie for the high prices than
the consumers. They must pay
what the spectators demand or stop
their business.-Neao York Shipping

Fatten1ng and Care of Cattle.

Prot. Brown. of the Ontario Agri-
cultural College, has recently put
himself on record in regard to cattle
raising. Some of his points or sug-
gestions are open to criticism, al
though nearly all of his deductions
will meet the approval of the ma
jority of breeders. The Professor
says the purpose of cattle tattenine
is:
I. To obtain the largest quantity
of the best quality of beef at the
least cost under 8 years of age.
2. To aim at breeding, raising
and fattening one cattle beast from

USEFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

UTILIZING STALE BREAD.-Thin
slices of bread dipped in tomato
sauce, and then fried in butter until
they are brown, take the place of
an omlet. This is a good way to
utilize stale bread.
G1NGERBREAD.-Good plain GIN
gerbread is made Of two pounds oi
flour, halfa pound of butter, half q
pound of sugar, two tablespoonful
each of cinnamon and ginger. one
pint of molasses, a teaspoonful Of
soda dissolved in a half cup ot
sweet milk; if you have sour milk
use that, and add half a teaspoonful
more of the soda; bake in very thin
layers; mark each layer with a forh
in lines an inch apart. The over

is put in.

8. To grow all the food required
for these purposes within ourselves.
4. The animals to weigh alive not
less than 800 pounds each.
5. The net cost of production, Civ
ing credit for manure, not to exceed
five cents per pound, live weight.
6. To obtain one ton of manure per
month from each cattle beast over
2 years old when stabbed to finish
the fattening process.
7. The value OF such manure, un-
der the best management, to be
made worth So SO per ton.
In any class it is desirable to have:
8. Purity Of sire.
9. A certain age and sex.
10. a quiet disposition.
II. Quality as indicated by fine
head and ears fine bone, horn, tail,
and medium thick skin, having
plenty'of fine, soft. silky hair, with
mellowness.
12. A weight carrying frame.
IS. Such a breed as will mature,
or premature, from to years OF
age.
IA. Having the charter of doing
best upon Ontario pastures
Is. Giving the best quality of flesh
with least offal.
II. Sure breeders and good nurses.
II. The Shorthorn grade is best
for weight, early maturity and stall
feeding.
Is. The Hereford grade is best for
hardness and grazing disposition.
19. The Aberdeen Poll grade is the
best for an even average OF all re-
quirements.
90 The Galloway grade is the
best for extreme hardness and quail
ity of flesh.
21. The Devon grade is .he best
for nursing and sure breeding.
The use Of the food of tattening
cattle is to- IL
" %. Keep up animal heat of life.
%. Repair the waste.
. "a. Increase growth.
25. Produce flesh and fat.
Its value is affected by
p 26. The particular breed.
27. Age of the animal.
%. Individual character.
20. Conditions of life, such as tenn
pc rature.
80. Management.
3s. Chemically we can calculate
upon getting one pound of flesh from
any food that has ten parts of dry
substances in its composition; thus
100 pounds of Swede turnips, having
as much as ninety parts of water
will only give the pound of flesh
while 100 pounds of corn, having
only thirteen parts of water, will
give ten pounds of flesh.
40. From birth to the time cattle
beast is ripe the daily rate of increase
on an average should not be less
than one and one-halt pounds; thus,
s-year-old should weigh 1000
pounds; a 21-2-year-old 1860; and
a 2-year-old 100 pounds alive.
Al. But, in fact, the daily rate OF
increase is more up to 2 years than
at any time afterwards. A 2-year-
old we'll done to will weigh l,400,
if carried on to years will not scale
less than 1900 rounds.

The first sign of anything wrong
in a COW is the failing in milk, a re-
fusal to feed, standing apart from
other cattle in the field; the feces
becomes hard and dry, emaciation
follows, the animal passes bloody
urine, and in a very few days death
ensues. By post mortem we find
enlarged spleen and liver, with cists
and abcesses, frequently, and the
liver having a peculiar yellow or
brownish appearance. In a number
of cattle that we examined we found
the sarce appearance generally. The
flesh takes on black, yellowish ap-
pearance, caused by an excess of the
coloring matter of the gall, and in
every case becoming putrid in .

Munching all apple red,
While the boys of his set looked wistfully on,
And ''Give us bite" they said.
But the bootblack smiled lordly smile;
"No free bites herer' he cried.
Then the boys they sadly walked away,
Save one who stood at his side.
