Effects OF The Wheat Decline.

The drop in the price of wheat,
which in the past four months has
amounted to about thirty per cent,
is beginning, says the Philadelphia
Times, TO manifest its effects in
the increased number of business
failures in the West and Southwest
The suspensions during the past
week were 1875 in number, against l4A
for the previous week and 1G3, Ill
and 9S for the corresponding weeks
of 1883, 1882 and 1881. In this list
are included six banking companies,
whose officers were indulging, in q
greater or less degree, in the danger
Gus ,pratice of specializing i'll op'
tions.
While it is true that other causes
beside the shrinkage in the price o.
wheat have operated to a limit ex
TENT in producing this long list o
failures, it is evident that the mos
of them can be attributed to thi
cause. A shrinkagc of forty cents {

December is sufficient in itself to &C

count for a great loss in values in
those localities where wheat is the
chief source of wealth.
The farmers may as well prepare
for low prices during the coming
year unless somI unforeseen disaster
bcfalls the coming crop. The for
eign markets appear to be well sup
piled. The surplus on Land is large
and the new crop promises to lie
good. This need not be portentou:
of disaster to the business interests
of the country, if both farmers and
traders look the fact squarcly in the
;ac1 and prepare in time to cut the
business garment according to tn,
cloth. The trouble in such cases
usually arises from anticipating TOO
much and mortgaging the future
on the strength of such anticipa
tiOns.

Some few years since melodrama

AN OFF-HAND WAY TO MEASURE IN
ACRE

Few farmers know the size of their
fields or how many acres they contain.
A field of the writer's, before it came
into his possession, bad been plowed
and reaped by contract for fifteen acres.
On measuring it was found to have but
twelve acres. 1t is desirable, in fact
indispensable for good work, that a
farmer should know how many acres
each field contains, for otherwise he
cannot apportion seed or manure for it,
nor can he tell how much time it would
require to be plowed. A measuring
cord should be part of the furniture on
every farm. To make one, procure sew
enty.seven feet Of strong rope, one inch
around; make loop or fasten ring OF
bar at each end, and make these pre-.
cisely sixty.six feet apart. This is foui
rods. Then tic piece of red rag in
the center. One acre of ground will be
piece four of the cords (chains) long
and two and one half wide, equal to SIX
teen by ten rods, making 16O square
rods to one acre. The advantage Of the
ring or loop is that one person car
measure alone by driving stake in the
ground to hold the rope while he
stretches it out. The rope should bC
soaked in tar and dried, which will pre-
vent it from shrinking when wet.
