The Creamery of the World.

The following from a Russian grain
merchant is very significant: Not
withstandirg a very good grain crop this
year we have now a decided crisis III the
grain market The United States has
squarely beaten us in the European mar
ket Henceforth America is to be the
undisputed granery of the world" I'm
til quite recently the Russian grain mer-
chants believed that their country would
become the granery Of the world. They
are now umdeceived. The control of the
European grain market III the last five
years has been quietly transferred across
the Atlantic. The Russians expected
this year 127, 200, 900 bushels of grain,
76, OOO 600 more than the whole export
of last year. Still, according to their
confession, the Russian farmers and
grain dealers, and the public at large,
are panic stricken. Their whole system
Of agriculture has been undermined by
cheap grain from America. The recent
report Of the Royal Agricultural Com
mission for Great Britain shows scarcely
a better state Of things, and that the
state and prospects OF British agriculture
are anything but encouraging. About
one-half of the wheat consumed in Eng
land is Of foreign growth, while in the
last century there was large eXporta-
ton Of wheat from that country. The
surplus wheat crop Of the United States
is enough for the entire consumption of
Great Britain, and it can be delivered in
London at prices so low as to ruin the
English farmer The report of the
Royal Commission presents detailed
statements Of farm accounts that are cx-
ceedingly disheartening. If we turn to-
the last estimates of the grain crop for
the present year iii the United States we
learn that the corn crop is estimated Mt
1,6SO. coo, 600 bushels against l, 194, GIG
600 bushels in 1881. The wheat crop is
500 900, 900 bushels against $50, $50, 900
in 1881 The value of domestic exports
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882,
was $733, 239. 735. The increase of agri-
cultural products in ten years, from 1870
to 1880, was nearly 100 per cent. Such
q country for grain and many other
things as the United States is not to be
found every day.

The Great Comet.

The great comet which astonished ev-
erybody by suddenly blazing out close
beside the sun at broad noon in Septem-
Der. and which slone brilliantly i'll the
early morning hours during October,
has not yet disappeared. It may be seen
any clear morning, soon after midnight,
a little southeast of the constellation of
Orion, and it is still 50 bright that many
persons seeing 1t far south OF the place
it occupied two months ago think it must
be a new comet.
It is not at all surprising, however,
that the comet IS yet visible. Some of
the great comets Of history remained
visible for many months after their peri
helion passage, and it is doubtful if any
comet ever seen exceeded this one in
brightness when near the perihelion
point. The question whether the comet
Will return next year, or in few years
thereafter, and fail into the sun, is still
being debated. The best observations
of its orbit seem to indicate that it will
not soon return, aud no astronomer of
reputation lends couptenance to the no.
ton that it threatens disaster to the
earth.
Astronomers have to deal with great
many tough problems, but not any is
tougher than that of determining the
orbit of a new comet, and few comets
have given more trouble in this respect

Dion Boucicault will bring out a new
play in Boston, with a somewhat novel
and risky principal character. This is a
poor, half-witted Irish boy, with merely
the instincts of an animal. He is like q
dog in many respects, but is, of course,
attached to the heroine, whom he follows
about abiectly. When she is in sorrow
he is frantic with grief, and when she is
happy he is wild with delight. When
she tells him to bite he does it, and when
she orders him to lie down he grovels at
her feet. He is actuated by passion of
which he does not know the meaning,
and which she does not discover until the
last. '"There are many such boys in

Reduction OF Postage.

The Post Office Appropriation bill
will be considered in the Senate about
the 10th of January When it is
brought up for consideration Senator
Plumb will endeavor to have the reduc-
ton of postage from three cents to two
cents go into effect .Euly 1, 1888, instead
of January l, 1881, as provided for by
the House. In referring to this matter
Third Assistant Postmaster Hazen said
that it would be impracticable to make
the change as early rs July. He claims
that there would be a surplus Of three
cent stamps Oh hand at that time; that
trouble would arise in adjusting the ac-
counts with postmasters and that COM
missions for fourth class postmasters on
sales of stamps would not be settled.
In reply to these objections Senator
Plumb says he does not believe that
there viii be q surplus Of stamps on
July 1, as postmasters will have nearly
SIX months after the passage of the bill
for disposing of their supply. If there
is a surplus, he says, the three cent
stamps can be used for mail matter re-
quiring more than two cents. In regard
to the trouble that may arise in adjust
ing accounts Mr.. Plumb says that diff
Guilty viii be encountered anyhow, and
might as well come first as last. Con
corning the plea in regard to the pay
ment of fourth class postmasters the
Senator thinks the people, and not the
shouletzs5e &onstderee. These
commissions, however, can be deter
mined upon before the LIST of July. The
bill Will pass the Senate before the LIST
of February, thus giving the country
five months to prepare for the reduction.
Senator Plumb says he is confident that
the amendment changing the time for
the reduction viii pass in the Senate.

Care of Young Stock.

A correspondent Of the Springfield
Repu5Hca1, says: What care and treat
ment shall we give the young calves that
they may make strong and vigorous ami
mails ? Too many are stunted when
young, and their growth is slow, with
little prospect of their making very large
animals. Some calves are only given
skinned milk for few days, then
turned out to grass or hitched to mov-
able post so that they can have fresh
feeding ground every day.
A farmer, who is largely engaged in
raising jersey stock, adopts the following
method in raising his calves, and so far
has had the best Of results He recently
showed the writer a calf dropped in July
that seemed as large as some yearlings.
This calf he says has been tethered out
every day and has had about five quarts
of skinned milk morning and night.
The result was apparent, for a more Wig
orous calf we never saw. If it does not
make a good Jersey COW, it will not be
the fault of the owner.
'In the winter, said the breeder, 81
feed my calves as follows EARLY in the
morning [ give my calves one quart each
of wheat bran and, when they have fin
ished this, [ give them a small quantity
OF hay. I do not feed them" he said,

better to feed a small quantity, unless
the hay is fine, like red-top or blue
grass. "

ter? we inquired.
''Just as [ do the rest Of my stock,
with the exception q the bran, which is
cut off. "
We looked the herd over thoroughly
and beheld some of the finest Jersey
yearlings and calves we ever saw; fat,
sleek and gentle, they bore evidence of
what care and kindness will do in rear
ing young stock. A steady and uniform
growth was secured all Of the time.
hence the fine condition of the young
stock. How different from the half
stunted calves which one often
sees in the farmers banyard. Good
stock is only secured by proper care and

ii the Whining Post.

The difference between republics and
republics is well illustrated by an occur
rencewhich recently took place i'll Ecua-
dor. A journalist, Mr.. Miguel Valverde,
wrote an article i'll which he severely at
tackled the Dictator of Ecuador, Neinte-
milla. The latter, by way of punish
ment, simply ordered that 200, and
according to another report 500, lashes
be melted ont to Mr.. Nalverde's back,
and the order was executed. A republic
in which that sort of justice is dispensed
by mere order of the executive head Of
the government does not seem to have
gained much in the matter Of individual
rights by her deliverance from Old
World connection and despotism. Mr..
Antonio Flores, the son Of the first
President OF Ecuador, III a letter pub
hshed the other day, calls upon his com
patriots to Join him in an emphatic pro-
test against this brutal and disgraceful
assumption of power. This protest does
him all the more honor as the same Mr..
Valverde has been in the habit of attack
ing his father no less than the present
ruler of Ecuador.

4 Story CT the West.

A letter in the Kansas City Journal
from Grand Forks, Dakota, gives the fol
lowing details of the terrible death OF q
woman aud her child near Stump Lake.
They were both very sick in the misera-
bic shanty which they called a homo,
and the husband, who is a Russian jew
named Salinger, thought it better for
them all to leave and attempt to reach
the house of a neighbOr half a mile dis
tant The fierce and binding storm so
benumbed and confused the husband
that he drove aimlessly around IN circle
for two hours. His wife had been calling
upon him to hurry, is she was not only
deathlv cold herself. but feared for the
thinly-clad baby, and at last she told her
husband that the child was dead. They
carried it for about a quarter of an hour
and then abandoned it and the oxen they
had been driving. Salmger used every
means in his power to keep his wife
warm, even taking every vestige of cloth
ing from the dead child and wrapping it
about her. but she became more and
more benumbed, being unable to speak,
and at last falling inscnsible in the snow.
He chafed her hands, and exhausted
himself trying to revive her, but finally,
when there was no longer any doubt of
her death, he pushed on and came to
the neigh boris house. His face, hands
and feet were horribly frost-bitten

IN FRATRACIDAL STRIFE.
Hostile Factions among The Greeks Meet
in Pitched Battle.

On Sunday band of Chicopees men
Greek Indians, of the Indian Territory
under Sim Larney, while going west,
were attacked by two hundred OF Splo-
chee's partisans, under command Of Me-
karocbee. The fight ragged for an hour,
and Chicopee's men fell back with a loss
of foul killed. The loss on the other
side is not known. The whole country IS
rushing to arms. A detachment OF forty
United States soldiers was ordered to the
scene, and on Monday morning they
overlook and disarmed one hundred and
fifty of Chicopee's men. The search will
be continued until all the men engaged
on both sides are disarmed.
A mere sentimental question is at the
bottom of the present trouble among the
Creek Indians It is a revival of the old
war feeling between the North and South.
During the rebellion part Of the Greeks
espoused the Northern and the remain
der thezSouthern cause. After the war
the nation was reunited, but the political
question has existed ever since, and has
been a constant cause of trouble The
deepest feeling has existed, and the two
parties have constantly struggled for the
supremacy. One is called the COnstitu-
ton party, under Chief Chicopee, which
is composed of the Southern sympa-
timers, and the other is known as the 10y
al party, the chief being Spiochee, repre-
senting Northern wal sentiment. At all
their elections each Of the parties strive
to secure the Government, but the South
ern sympathizers have the lead, as they
number 700, while the NortheIns count
hut 400. The elections are conducted
squarely, and there is no chance to stuff
ballot boxes. The noses are counted
every time. There has been no attempt
to harmonic the two elements until now,
and if the Federal Government had not
interfered, the Greeks would have gone
on fighting the war of the rebellion over
and over for all time, probably. Tt is
believed that now the Government has
taken hand the trouble will end. The
Greeks respect the Federal authority
more than anything else. The two par
ties, though very hostile, have not lived
apart. Their houses intermingle, and
this has, of course, aggravated the trou-
bic. At moments notice, when war
has been declared between the factions,
the houses would empty and the twopar-
ties wonld organize separately. The in
dams are all armed with shotguns and
rifles, and they are dead shots.
