The Crop Prospects,

Those who wish to see high prices
for all consumable commodities are
very anxious for great crops Of grain
this fall. With the great immigration
and the business activity, all that is
needed is surplus of grain and cotton
to export to see revival of the pros
porous times of TO, 80 and the spring
of 81. But, timid and conservative
people are not so sure about the future.
1t is argued that in prosperous times
people do not go farming. They throng
to the cities, to the manufacturing dis
tricts, and become consumers of food.
During the hard times, from '73 to rs,
an average Of S,000,0 00acre per annum
of new land was put into grain. But
since 10 the increased acreage has been
but little over 100000 acres per an.
mum. So far the present year, it is
settled, there will be less land put into
wheat in Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio and
other States than was the case last year.
It is true there is a much greater acre
age in Texas, Missouri, Dakotah, Oregon
and California; but it is doubtful if on
the whose there will be as large an
acreage in 80 as there was in 81, while
the home consumption would be much
greater, due to the increase of con-
sumers in cities and manufacturing dis
tricts. Then, it is feared that as good
crops are continuous year after year, bad
crops may also succeed one another for
several seasons. The country wa
phenomenally prosperous for three
years preceding the death of President
Garfield. Perhaps the pendulum is
about to swing in the other direction

The Hog GueSserS.

"Hog guessing" has been regarded as
an amusement of the borders OF clvlllza-
ton, or of those rude and primitive
times when creased pole climbing, sack
racing and even ruder sports were
numbered among the most favorite OF
popular pleasures. But that busy and
bewildered person, "the future hlsto,

the New York papers of the last quarter
of the nineteenth century, will learn
with curiosity that among the incidents
of the celebration of Christmas was

An Egyptian Ostrich Farm.

CAIRO, March 20.-I visited the only
ostrich farm in Egypt yesterday. 1t
lies in the desert within five miles>of
Cairo, between the spot where Plato
taught school and the tree under which
the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus
rested some |, 800 years ago, l had un-
derstood that it was very hmd to gain
admittance to the farm, as the stock
was very timid and easily frishtened,
and L knew of many travellers who had
been turned away from the gates.
Armed, however, with a letter of intro
duction to the proprietor, Mr.. Vedder,
l took carriage, and after pleasant
drive through several miles of acacia
lined avenues, and past several of the
Khedive's lath-and-plaster palaces, L
was set down before the iron bars OF the
entrance gate. My letter procured me
instant admission. The ostrich farmer,
a srn-browned, well-built, intelligent
Swede, dressed in sack coat, skull
travelling cap and top boots, now APP
peared, and together we went over the
farm. #.F ~. an
The ostriches are kept in fields of
desert sand about as large as town
lot. These fields are surrounded by
mud walls about seven feet high, and
are entered by wooden gates. The
first field we came to contained about a
dozen large females, 81 years. old.
They were of gray color, well feath-
cred, and they appeared quite tame as
they stuck their long, fiat, duck-like
bills over the 7-foot wall and attempted
to pick at our hats, blinking all the
while knowingly at us with their pink
eyes. With their long legs, their
naked, featherless necks, and their two
clawed feet, one kick of which will cut
a mans head from his shoulders, they
formed queer sight, and when, as I
raised my hand and said "Shoo!' they
spread their wings and ran away at
two-minute pace, seeming to almost
skim ovor the ground.

They live on beans and barley and

they eat from fourteen to sixteen
