1t is Just about ten years since British In

lSS0-S1 the shipments were II 900, 600 bush

cline in the price of wheat, which began
last year. checked the business, and in the

Wheat growing In India depends in some
parts on the monsoon rains, in others upon
irrigation. We know in this State that with
any thing like present prices, il the cost of
irrigation has got TO be added to the other
costs of growing wheat, the industry will not
pay. Under the present unthrifty govern
meDt OF India as British colony, expendi-
lures are incurred which promise no ade-
qUste return. But this can not last fore YER.
1t will never pay, as commercial operation,
TO keep up a system of irrigation for the
purpose Of raising wheat to be sold at cent
pound, which is likely to be the average
ruling price hereafter.

Indian and American Wheat.


We are now enabled, from the report OF
Consul General Leonard, of Calcutta, to form
a reliable estimate OF the wheat production
Of British India in 1881. The area under
cultivation is SAID to be 26, 900 900 acres and
the product pa, 600, 600 bushels, or 81 bush
els 10 the acre. The acreage planted to
wheat in California this year was about
4,0OO 600 and the product about 81 600 600
bushels, or 16l4 bushels to the acre. The
total acreage planted to wheat in the United
states is about 10000, coo and the yield tais
year was about $4,000 600 bushels-say
nearly Is bushels TO the acre. British India
has thus considerably over half as many
scTes in wheat as the United States, and pro.
daces nearly one-half as large crop. Last
ear the crop of India was reckoned at 29O.-
0,000 bushels.
Notwithstanding the chespness of labor in
India and the fertility OF the soil, the calcu-
lation of wheat growers ia that country is
that il costs them TO raise wheat and ship il
70 Delhi. which, like Chicago, is the primary
market for Indian wheat, Sl.33 a cental-say
Is cents pound. This is about what il
costs here-if anything trihe more. When,
as st present wheat at Delhi will not realize
IS much ss this, the Indian farmer holds
back his crop in view of the possibility of a
future famine. Delhi is nearly the same
distance from Calcutta that Chicago is from
New York. But the freight from Delhi is "a
cents per GENITAL as against p cents, whick is
The freight from Chicago to New York;
quarter of a cent pound. Here is another
advantage enjoyed by the American pro-
Queer. 1t looks as IL Mr.. Card was not far
wrong when he said that British India could
not afford to grow wheat in competition with
the Northwest ana California any more than

Corn as stock Food.

Corn is so rich in oil that we may say corn
bread is ready buttered; it is, however, very
digestible, and in cold weather this oilineSs
is most valuable factor, as il serves to keep
up the heat of the body more directly than
starch and similar substances. With oats
and barley il may form one-third OF the
grain ration OF hard-worked draft horses,
and will keep their coats glossy and be in
every way a benefit, certainly worth more
than its weight in oats. Fed alone or in
larger proportion it has tendency to make
horses sweat easily, and it is said TO become
quickly exhausted. liz is not safe to feed it
as freely as oats or barley, as there is danger
of impaclion and-just as there would be if
wheat were so fed. No doubt il is best fed
ground with oats, and the proportions AL
ready indicated are probably the most salts
factory, the meal being fed upon cut hay.
For COWS in milk, corn meal may form,
with bran, the exclusive grain ration, and
may be fed at the rate Of one plate OF corn
meal to each 100 pounds of the cows live
weight. No doubt ii will be found Just as
good in Great Britain as here. IL gives
quality and richness to the milk, color TO
the butter and abundance to the flow If the
cow is q good one; but If she is inclined TO
lsy on fat such feeding will cause her TO
fatten, even though in full milk, and if she
gets too fat she will go dry.
For sheep cord is excellent but should be
fed whole and little at a time. For swine,
the universal experience from Maine 10 Ore
gon. and from Canada to Mexico, is that il
will make more and better pork than any other
food. For poultry it is IN the country the uni
versal grain, but it is not always the best.
IL is admirable for its fattening properties,
but for laying hens and growing fowls it is
not we'll to use too much. "Corn-fed" fowls,
ducks and geese are frm-heshed and vet
tender. They bear transportation alike with
little shrinkage. The yellow corn makes
yellow butter and yellow fat in fowls. Eng
fish and French tastes demand white -heshed
poultry with pale. lardy-fat, and so they
fatten poultry on rice, rnd their fancy mar
ket fowls have about as much flavor Is
boiled rice. The America nmsrket demand:
| veIlow-heshed fowls. with fat as yellow as
] June butter, aud corn is the food to produce
/ this IN all poultry.

PROCEEDINGS In CONGRESS-.
The Senate Discusses the Oklahoma
Land Questionable the Near
sguan Treaty In Secret
Session.
The House Discusses Indian Affairs
In Committee of the
Whole.
FORTY.EIGHTH CONGRESS-.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Mr. Frye, from the
Committee on Commerce, reported fsvorably
the bill recently introduced by himself for
the encouragement of the American mer-
chant marine and to promote postal and
commercial relations with foreign countries.
Mr.. Henderson, from the Committee on
Printing, reported favorablv q concurrent
resolution providing that the Congressional
Record should be an accurate transcript OF
the actual proceedings and debates of the
two houses.
The Oklahoma resol utions of Messrs.
Plumb and Vest were placed before the Sen
ate. Mr. Nest withdrew his resolution. In
doing so he took occasion to say that there
could be no doubt whatever that as the
laws stood, the Oklahoma lands were not at
this time subject to settlement by white
people. The President, therefore, was IN
able to do otherwise than as be had done.
After some further discussion of the mat
ter, in which Messrs. Dawes. Harrison and
Moxey participated, Mr.. Plumb said if
prompt action were taken he had no doubt
an entirely Just and peaceful solution of the
difhculty would be arrived at with due re.
gard to the rights of the Indians.
Mr.. Plumb's resolution calling on the
President for his views OF the present status
OF the Oklahoma land was then agreed to.
Mr.. Vest then referred his resolution di-
recting the Secretary of the Treasury to as.
cerisin and report upon what terms the
Creek and Seminole Indians would surren-
der all their remaining rights to the lands
Ia question. he requested that the resolu-
ton be held over till tomorrow, when he
would make 1t more comprehensive. The
resolution was lain over accordingly.
The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion with reference it is understood, to the
Nicaragua treaty.
When the doors reopened the Senate ad-
iourned.

Small Dairy Herds.

We often hear of dairman saws the Live
Stock Journal, VINO has a single COW that
makes 800 or more worth of butter in a
year, and perhaps his near neighbor with
thirty cows gets only an average OF $50 TO
$50 worth per cow. Yet the latter dairyman
is entirely unconcerned about the small out
come OF his herd. He goes on, year after
year, milking COWS that do not pay for the
food they eat, much less for the labor of
milking and caring for them. He seems to
take ii IS matter of course. He does not
take time to consider the fact that he could
dispose OF these poor COWS and get better
ones 10 put in their place. In fact, he has
no definite idea of which are the poor and
which the good ones. The COW of his neigh
Dor which makes as much butter as three OF
his, does not arrest his attention. yet, when
be is asked how this can be, he will strike
very near the fact in the answer "Well, be
has only one COW, and can take care OF her"
Just so, and If you would sell Off twenty of
your poorest cows and take care OF the Ie-
naming ten, you would get much more
profit than you now do from thirty cows. a
few weeks since an account was given in a
New York paper of a dairyman in Vermont
with six cows on n farm of sixty acres, who
makes $50 pounds of butter average per
head. he has been improving them for
some ten years, starting with an average OF
only 80 pounds of butter per COW. His in
come from his six COWS is now 500. He
keeps q record of each cow separately, and
each is retained on her own merits. He
keeps no cow that will not respond to good
care and keep and pay good profit. He
does not expect COWS 70 make $50 pounds of
butter each without the best OF food and
plenty of it. These six cows take no chances
of drought and scanty food. Their owner
takes the duty upon himself to prevent the
effects of drought and to supply foil ration
under all circumstances. His reward is $50
pounds of butter.
