The wheat outlook.

CHICAGO, May 2.-The Times summar-
ICES its special advices from the spring
wheat belts of the West and Northwest this
morning as follows: 1.-THE area sown to
the cereal is considerably less than that re-
ported last year. RumOrs of an impending
European war came too late for farmers to
prepare their ground for larger crops. The
seeding in the Red River valley is ten days
earlier than at this time last year and the
acreage has been largely increased, owing,
it is said, to the development of the coun-
try and the bountiful yields harvested in
past years. In Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin unreasonable weather has
retarded farm work The acreage of spring
wheat in these states will suffer decrease
of fully Is per cent, and in some counties
seed already planted will have to be plowed
up, water from swollen streams having
soaked into the ground and destroyed the

Wood, when subjected to heat Of from

distinct products-charcoal, pyroligneous
acid and gases. The process is thus des-
cribed: A cord ofsfairly seasoned wood
weighs, say 1900 pounds. This cord OF
wood, placed in a charring receptacle and
subjected to proper temperature fer, say
FIVE days, entirely disappears. In its place
we have 1,C0o pounds of charcoal, 20
pounds of pyroligneous acid and go
pounds of uneondensed gases. Tie ag-
glegate weight of these produ IS IS "a III
exactly to the original weight Of the wo ID
BY the agency of heat the constituents Of
the wood have been disassociated, and the
immediate reconciliation of these constit
uents result in the charcoal, the acid and
