From present prospects it is esti-
mated that the crop Of wheat rails, d
in the United States this year will
yield in the aggregate about five hun
dred million bushels. The exporta
ton Of it has already commenced to
Europe, and what is somewhat sur
prising, buyers are. here with orders
to buy wheat literally for Southern
Franc. This, however, is explained
By the statement that American wheat
can lie laid down in Malseilles cheap

Every intelligent farmer knows that
the poorest of lands can be made rich
aud that lands may produce crops a
thousand years, or to the end of time
without being worn out Some of the
richest lands in England have been in
cultivation over thousand years, and
lands in China have been cultivated a
much longer time without wearing
out. Nature never wears out or i'm

Americans have been famous land Il s.

was fortunate enough to get 1t all sowcd

small three-cornered piece of about quar-
ter OF an acre. That piece sowed two days
after the rest Of the field was sown, and
while | was sowing considerable rain was
falling. narrowed right after sowing, and
when tbs, grain was harvested there was no
smut on any part of the field, except that
small piece that was sown while it was rain

neighbor on the place next to us would not
buy bluestene, as it was too expensive SO
ne sowed ten acres OF wheat on ground that
was in fine condition. The result was that
his ten acres was nine tenths smut. helped
him mow it and we tried time and again.
and the result was nearly the same, nine
heads of smut and one of wheat,
Since that time (lS57) have sown wheat
every year. and on almost every condition
of soil, and have never seen very smutty

where the ground was dry when the seed
waa sown, but have always had smut if the
seed was ,sown when the ground was too
wet What mean by the land being too
wet is this: Every farmer knows that he
wants his land in about certain condition
TO work, and hs will not work it any other
way unless in an emergency.
Now, there is another fact in regard to

have never seen field of volunteer grain

the farmer has concluded there was seed |
enough OH the ground and did not sow any
seed on the field, but simply brushed or

From my experience do not claim that
bluestone is a sure preventive against smut
II the grain is sown at all times, nor do
clai'p that there is nothing else that will
prevent smut in grain, but do claim that
II wheat is properly questioned and sown
when the ground is not too wet, it will pre-
vent smut. AS j. G B. says, it would be
well If the farmers would experiment and

1T IS said that The Durra, or Egyptian
corn which stands the drouth splendidly.
and has been known to yield 200 bushels
per acre, is excellent food tor man as well
as beast; and possibly here is another field
open for millers and for inventive genius.
And IN the event of their success, is 1t not
probable that this grain may prove itself
well adapted to the upland PLAINS along the

Answer.-A number of our farmers agree
that there is a gradual falling of in the pro-
duct OF our natural meadows, but as vet
none have given any betilite reason for it.
It's asserted, with pretty well established
certainty, that to harrow the meadow will
Improve the growth OF grass; that
that ioosening the ground with harrow teeth
operates the same as the cultivation of other
vegetation. Sooner or later our farmers
VIII have TO resort TO the growing OF tame
meadows Experiments show that timothy
nay grows quite as well here as ia any
other country, and it is much better hay
than majority Of our natural grasses. We
would suggest that our correspondent try
growing timothy. He can manage it so as
not to lose single crop by blowing up the
meadow next fall and in the following spring
SOW in oats and timothy together. The land
should be narrowed Immediately after break
ing, and IN the spring 1t should be narrowed
two ways. BY proper care in seeding. fair
crop of oats may be raised, and the follow
ing season the timothy should be thick
enough to yield good crop. OF course the
hay crop will be light for . few years, but
when the timothy is fairy set, it will yield
a much larger crop to the acre than can be
had from the wild meadow, besides the hay
will be preferable in the markets at the best
prices. In most all Of meadow lands of Deer
Lodge valley there Il sufficient moisture to
grow good timothy without irrigation

Seine weeks ago we noticed the decision
of the Secretary OF the Interior in the case
of Martin Prepp VS.. The Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, in which it was, held
that Trepp had forfeited his right to enter
an odd section OF land within the limits OF
the railroad grant, because, though in posses
sion prior to the withdrawal for the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, he fai.ed to
file his decaratory statement within the
time provided by law. This case, which
presents some very important questions, has
been again considered upon rehearing and
the former decision reversed. We quote
from the opinion of Hon. S. j. Kirkwood in
the case, AS follows: e a5la45tH atl
THE material facts arc that the plat Of
township embracing the tract in question
was filed in local office at Helena, Montana,
September IS, 1869; that 1repp settled as
pre-empton September Is, 1871 !; that he
was qualified settler; that he filed declar-
atery statement for said tract July 3, 1873,
more than three months after settlement;
that he proved up his claim and entered the
land August 10, 1878; that Trepp performed
all the requirements of the pre-emption law,
except as to filing 10 time, and that, with
this exception, his claim is valid in all re-
spects; that the tract is within the limit of
a withdrawal made !or the benefit Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company under
date of April %, 1872, notice of which with
drawal was received at local office MAY 6. |

The lands authorized to be withdrawn are
specified in the third section of the ace of
1864. They. are ''every alternate section of
public land not mineral designated by odd
numbers, to the amount of twenty alternate
sections per mile on each side of said rail
road line, as said company adopt through
the Territories of the Uuited States < \

States have full title, not reserved, sold,

Of the Commissioner of the General Land
Office.

BRAN is good TODD, but milers' horses
often get too much Of it. Used in excess.
especially in a dry state, it is apt to form
stony secretions in the bowels OF the horse.
Stones >'porn produced from the excessive use of
bran have been taken out of horses after
death, weighing many pounds. When saw
led through, they appear to be composed Of
a hard crystalline mass, deposited in reg,,-
lar rings, resembling in appearance the
concentric yearly rings of wood. They
proved to be composed of phosphate of
'nagnesia and am0nia. Millers' horses have
often been kaown TO be thus afflicted. i The

law, seems to me to be as firmly settled bv
the Supreme Court and this Department as
1t is possible to settle anything. Now. le,
me ask what is it that is expected from the
gain OF the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany? The answer comes from the yerv
language of the third section Of the act it,
self. The land must be 'sfree from pre-
emption or other claims or rights.n Trepp
mad pre-emption claim at the time of with
drawal. The real question is whether the
claim Of Trepp does not bring the tract
within the exception to the grant, and un-
der the doctrine ofJohnson vs.. TowsIey l3
Wall. p. 72). and the same doctrine was
maintained in Lansdale Va. Daniels no Otto.
p. u7).n Another view is that as between
the unlted Statesa the company the grant
ls construed more favorably as to the gov
ernment and strictly as to the company.
Hence, instead of attempting by strained
interpretations Of the opinions in johnson
vs.'Towsley and Lansdale VS.. Daniels to
avola applying therule that failure to file
more than three months will not Of itself
render claim invalid, the doctrine OF those
cases should be applied inthe sense in which
II, plainly appears in said opinions. Yet,
evetin tins view of the case, the only hard
snip upon the company will will be the &C.
lection Of other land lieu of that claimed
oy Trepp; the grants not necessarily dimin-
'shed. The decision of this department Of
October 3, 1881, is hereby recalled and set
aside, and the entry OF Trepp is held for
patent and not for cancellation. --Indepea.

DURING the past six years the United
States have sent to foreign countries more
wheat than during the preceding half cen

have nearly trebled. We exported 55.O0O,-
600 bushels in 1876, and about 10000, 900
during the year ending June 80, 1881. Of
all the wheat and -four exported during the
past 81 years, about 3s per cent. in value is
the product Of the last six, and about 20 per
cent. of the last two years. OF wheat, and
flour reduced to wheat, the exports have in
creased in quantity from rs 100000 bushels
in value from $4,000 900 to $2ll l.OOO, 900.
The quantity OF Indian corn sent abroad
during the past six years is greater than the
quantity reported during the preceding 45
years, and the exports have been steadily
increasing, except that they were less this
year thaa last. Exclud;ag meal, which il
no small item, we supplied foreign coun-
