The Next Wheat Crop.

The Cincinnati Price gives reports
from the wheat crops of Ohio. In
diana, Illinois, Missouri. Kansas.
Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee,
and from few places in other West
ern States. from which it makes the
conclusion that the winter crop of
wheat now promises an outcome
equal to any previous year, and If
the spring sowing is an average one,
the wheat crop of 1882 may be count
ed on as reaching 500. 600, 900 bushels,
with the chances of even larger re-
suits than the great crop of 1850.
The Illinois State Board Of Agri-
culture, however gives a somewhat
different report, so far as that State Is
concerned, as to the condition and
average of the winter wheat. The
report shows that the seeding for the
next crop has been 2,676, 900 acres, or
275,O06 less than the previous crop.
In the northern division the area is
Is per cent. or 1900 acres below
last year. The condition is 4 per
cent. above the average. In the CEN
trail division, which raises half of the
whole crop of the State, the condition
is 8 per cent. above the average, and
the acreage is 70 per cent, or 10000
acres, below last year. En- the South
ern division there has seldom been a
more promising condition or a better
yield per acre in prospect.

Knowing ones aver that no one
need stand in dread of a drOuth dur
ing the coming summer because the
ground is soaked to such great
depth that the heat Of the sun. even
without rain for long intervals, will
be insufficient to dry it out. Last
spring the earth was very made
euately soaked, ana the hot sunshine
speedily evaporated all the moisture.
Certainly we all ought TO be glad that
nothing of the kind will happen this
year.

Applicable in Al Sections.

Said hdy Yesterday: Il wonder how
many pleasant homes will be made I'M
happy by this election?' An explana-
ton was asked, and she said: why, l
have seen to-day two men drunk on the
street that | know well, and never saw
either one of them under the influence
of liquor before. / have heard the wife
of one of them say that she had rather
see her husband dead much as she
loved him, than to see him drunkard.
Both of these men are candidates, and
knowing the sorrow of their homes to-
night, was merely thinking and WON
dering how many other homes would be
saddened in the next week and had
been saddened in the last few days by
the drinking of candidates and those
who had been treated by them. The
great trouble with your politics is that
women can have nothing to say. When
man runs for Office he must treat If
he doesn't, then those who do viii get
the votes. He must drink, not only
with his equals, but much more with
those whose company he would not
think of keeping under any other circum-
stances. He would never think of
bringing home with him the men he
spends his time with. It's all wrong,
and tell you this running for office has
ruined more men than you have any
idea of. .''-CoIunabms (Ga.) Enquirer.

REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEKS GRAIN
TRADE

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Mark Lane Er-
press in its review of the British grain
trade for the past week says: The almost
continuous heavy rains which have pre-
vailed have delayed wheat sowing every
where and further reduced the condition
of supplies. Prices are slightly cheaper
Trade in the foreign wheat is slow and the
rates are lower Red winter is six-p pence
cheaper and the supply larger. OFF the
coast cargoes are quiet at lower figures.
Red winter and California are about nine
pence easier There were eleven arrivals
and ten sales.
Trade in forwarding is confined chiefly
to Indian wheat; price ruled lower. Flour
is weaker and the foreign supply is smaller.
American breads occasionally six-penc
cheaper and foreign barley and oats were
unaltered and dull. Maize gradually be-
comes dearer as the supply. diminishes.
The sales of English wheat for the past
week were so, 10 quarters at 40s Sd per
quarter, against 55, 369 quarters at AIS for
the corresponding period last year.

A Toad's Cunning.

A New Hampshire man has brood
of chickens which have the run of a
portion of the yard, the old hen being
kept shut up. The chickens are fed
with moistened meal in saucers, and
when the dough gets a little sour it at
tracts large numbers of flies. An OBJ
servant toad has evidently noticed this,
and every day along toward evening he
makes his appearance in the yard, hops
to a saucer, climbs in and rolls over and
over until he is covered with meal, hav-
ing done which he awaits developments.
The flies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarm around the scheming batraehian.
and whenever one passes within two
inches or so of his nose his tongue darts
out and the fly disappears; and this
plan works so well that the toad has
taken it up as regular business. The
chickens do not manifest the least alarm
at their clumsy and big-mouthed play
mate, but seem to consider it quite
lark to gather around him and peck off
his stolen coat of meal, even when they
have plenty more of the same sort IN
the saucers.
