John Holdsuorth. Chief Note (Harpers). 10 the

CLARxH RUSSELL has striven to crafty tho ap.
petite awakened BY his Wreck OF the Gros-
vsnor" 1t has moro OF . plot than any OF hls
other tales. and presents . happy variation OF
the situation on which Tennys0n grounds tho

facilities which exist at the present day. that 0

that tho acute and prolonged sufrerlngs on.
durcd upon . raft by tho sole survivor OF Q
shIpwrsck resulted In . paralysis Of tho
memory. whereby tho sufferers whole OK.
perioncs proceeding his rescue became .
blank only roilluminsd whom accident had
brought him In contact With the scenes amid
which his early life Was passed. Mr.. Russell
msintains that his hypothesis 10 founded upon
fact but ws ind 1t hard to reconcile with the
observed laws OF association that man should
forget every incident and circumstance OF his
past life. and vet retain his power OF speech In
language almost every word OF which would
suggest. 1t might DO thought some detail OF tho
experiences amid which that language had
boon acquired and employed. How. for In,

nut the present cost OF moving grain from the
place Of growth tn the railway station nearly
doubles the selling price.
We must also bear In mind that after wheat
sas bsen placed on an Indian railway It has to
>ay extortionate charges for transportation to
The port Of shipment. 1t appears that. on an
average evory three hundred miles OF railway
carriage In India adds an extra charge OF one
shilling . quarter In excess OF what the charge
wonld be II the wheat were carried on an
American line. According to Sir L. Barring the
cost per ton per mile Of railway carriage 10
almost double In India what It 10 In America.
Looking at those facts. Mr. william Fowler de-
elares that the Indian grower has everything
In bis favor which nature can give him. and
that he Is only hindered by tho absence OF cheap
rail carriage from competing with the Amer
lean producer. This. however. 10 not
true. Tho creator distance OF India from
tho European market 10 another unfavorable
factor In tho problem. Even II Indian wheat
could be placed At Calcutta for rs low q price
as the wheat OF our Northwestern States oan
b laid down Mt New York. the former would
still 10 at n serious disadvantage. When Sir
+. Barring published his Financial State
mcnt !" for 1888. New York had IN advantage in
thu shipment Of grain to England OF about
S6,25 q ton over Kurrachee. $50 over Bombay,
and 81 over Calcutta. And even In January,
1884 when Mr.. william Fowler prepared tho
statistics printed In tina Ninrteenth Century tho
rates GHvo New York tho advantage Of $3.50 n
Ton over Kurrachos and bombay and 1925
over Calcutta.
From oil the information 10 DO Rslned from
Sir James Caird and others. W arrive at the
following conclusions In regard to the wheat
growing capacities OF India; The present area
under wheat cultivation 10 about 10000. 900
acres. and the amount Of land devoted to this
CROP might BE- very largely increased. But In

What Is a BusheI of Corn.



AL grain in their natural state contain, more
or less water the amount depending upon the
conditions by which they have been surrounded.
In Indian corn the moisture may reach as high
as 50per cent. and probably never fall much be-
low 20 per cent. at the time Of harvest Tn,
fortunately but little is known of the exact com
position OF grains as they come from the harvest
field All published analyses give the moisture
content as the sample came to the chemist. but
usually Omitto state its age orrnanner of curing.
Professor Brewers special Census Report on the
cereals gives ninety eight analyses of all varieties
of Indian corn, having an average of IL per
cent. OF water with range of from 4. 10 to 20.08
per cent, but most of the samples we're I'M
doubtedlyItalSen from weNcured corn.
The curing process of Indian corn has been
made the subject of careful experiment at
Hnughton farm. Samples, are selected at, the
harvest from each of the thirty-one experimental
corn plots, and being grown 'withas many'dif-
ferent manuresJ represent afvide ange of conn
position. These samples are then stored upon
suspended racks, and UNDER conditions which
allow of rapid drying, and weighed at regular
intervals during the succeeding year.
There isa, lossJ of from l0tol6 percent. of
moisture during the year, and weighed bushel
at'the end of this time eontains.this amount of
moisture less 'aa equal quantity OF, solidmatteF;
than the weighed bushel at harvest, yet the
legal weight tifty-siW pounds, i'm most of the
States, remains the same for both conditions,
The only departure from this occurs in
OlIioy. wheref a legal bnshel of coTu on the
ear weighs seventy pounds from harvest. to Jan
l, and sixty eight pounds from that time on. AT
Hbughton farm. the thirty one lots of Indian
corn, selected from the crop of 1882, gavein De
eember following the harvest an average weight
per pushed of 81. 1Apouudss. The following5A pril
bushels from the same lot averaged fifty
pounds; in July 53t4 pounds, and in October,
oDe,yearf from harvest; 90 4.peunds The,crop
of 1881 was followed through a similar series of
changes, and averaged 55J5i pounds per bushel
one year from harvest. hence Indian corn does
not reach standard weight per bushel until
after a ysarsi drying. Im business this is me
portant. Theinerease of two pounds,from July
to October was gain of 37'per cent in value, if
sold by weight but not, taken into account if
