Among tho colonial possessions, or, more
correctly, dependencies, Of Holland, there is
a remarkable little state which, In It's con
stitution and original costume Of Its inhabit-
ants, SURPRISES the boldest dreams OF the adj
vocates OF women's rights. In the island Of
Java, between the cities OF Batavia n
S~amarnng, Is the kingdom Of Bantam,
which, although tributary to Holland, Is an
independent state. The sovereign is, indeed,
a man, but all tho rest Of the government
belongs 10 tho fair sex. The king Is entirely
dependent upon his state council The
highest authoritiez. military commanders
and soldiers are, without exception, OF the
female sex. Thesa nmazons ride in the
masculine style. wearing sharp steel points
instead Of spurs. They carry a pointed
lance, which they swing very gracefully,
and also n muskot, which Is discharged at
full gnllop. The capital OF this little state
lies in the most picturesque part OF tho
island in a fruitful plain, and 10 defended by

THE jVINTER WHEAT CROE.

THE WINTER WHEAT CROP.

reports as to the injury to the winter

ters, was on 'change at Minneapolis
yesterday. He is just now making up
his reports on the winter wheat crop
for the Month of April. This report,
he says, is made up from 1,70O points
in the winter wheat belt and covers
the territory thoroughly. With the
exception of Michigan, Mr.. Prime says,
not single state in the entire wheat
belt will produce an average wheat
crop this season. The poorest outlook
is in Illinois. The indications are now
that not enough wheat will be raised
in that stvte to furnish bread and seed. .
Kansas and Missouri will have about
half Il crop. Ohio and Indiana may
have II two-thirds crop, but probably
not more than half. Tennessee and
Kentucky will not produce over one
third Of AN average crop. There are
no conditions which can arise now to
improve this outlook. On the contra
ry. the general averages are likely to
run down. The wheat left on the
ground is generally thin, and will grow
up weedy and with more or less

will it be possible, with the present
conditions, to make up the shortage
this year. Mr.. Prime says his report,
which will be issued about the 1st of
May, will show worse condition of
affairs in the winter wheat belt than
his April report.
The editor of the New York Produce

an experience of more than forty years
has he received such discouraging re-
ports from Ohio, Indiana, West Vir.

There is little ground remaining f0l
hope that the wheat crop for 1885 car

season, say 1000. 600 to 25O, ,OOO, ,CO(

Parties dealing in land inform US
that never before in the history of this
county was there such a demand for
plowed land as there is this spring.
Heretofore 'breaking" and ''backset"

Of it could not be given away. This year
however, all the plowed land in this vi
cinity, or any land which can be crop
ped, seems to be in demand.
II we mistake not, there will be a
large area of fax sown this year, and if
the season is favorable, our farmers
will be mostly lifted out of debt and
put on solid footing.
