BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

The Boston Journal of Friday last, re-
viewing the weeks wool trade, says:
"There has been a fair demand for
wool and prices are supported about as
firmly as for some time past. The sales
for the week have been 2,4S7,7 200 pounds
of all kinds. No further advance has
been made this week, and for the time
being it 10 oks as though high-water mark
had been reached, but such is the condi-
ton of the markets at home and abroad
that holders feel confident that present
prices will be sustained and that fur
Their advance will be established before
allie the situation. and when in need of
supplies they purchase at full current
prices, but many of them now are well
stocked, and are not ready to purchase to
any great extent until the goods market
show signs of improvement and prices
are obtained equal to the higher cost of
raw material. The market. therefore, is
more quiet this week, but there is no
concession in prices on the part of hold
ers on any desirable grades.

Sheep Jnterest.
THE AUSTRALIAN WOOL INDUS
TRY

Some interesting facts concerning the
wool industry of Australia are given in a
report by Consul Griffin of Sydney. New
South Wales, it is stated, possesses near
ly half as many sheep as the rest of
Australia, and in the year ending Feb
ruary IS. 1886, exported BOG, $50 bales of
wool. an increase over the previous year
of 30, l04 bales. The remainder of Aus
tralia appears to be in Il favorable position
as regards this export trade, and only
two provinces. Victoria and South
Australia. showed decrease. The net
increase over the preceding year of
Australian exports appears to have been
II 800 bales. According to this report,
while New South Wales and New lea
land produce more wool than Victoria,
the best wool comes from Victoria The
efforts of Australasian wool growers are
being directed toward improving their
product in view of the active competition
from South America. They are also be-
ginning to seek out new markets, partic-
ularly in the direction of China and
Japan. The aspect of the wool trade in
so far as America is concerned is inter-
esting. Notwithstanding the tariff, soft
Australian wool is steadily imported, and
is we'll liked by American manufacturers
who mix it with coarser American woods.
More attention is given the production
than the manufacture of wool in Austria
liza, as would seem evident from the fact
that during the past eight years little
progress has been made in the latter di-
rection. According to the consul the
wool business of Australia seems likely
to become centered in New South Wales,
owing in good measure to increased
transportation facilities there.

CEREAL FOOD.

The grains proper of this country are
not appreciated as they ought to be for
daily food at our tables these are Indian
corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats : they
contain all the elements of nutrition nee
essary to the support of the human sys-
TEN, and if they could be used for two
of the daily meals. as breakfast and sup
per, without anything else, there would
be an incalculable advantage to the
sOundneSs of the teeth, the strength of
the bones, the hardness of the muscles.
the endurance of the body. and the vigor
of the brain. They can all be made into
bread after having been reduced to flour,
but not only is this at Il serious loss of
nutrimcnt. but it involves Il useless waste
of digestive power. Wheat bread re-
quires three hours and a half to be diges-
ted in an ordinary stomach; boiled wheat
will be digested in two hours. Boiled
barley has ninety-two per cent. of nutri-
ment: flour in the form of bread from
thirty to eighty per cent. But there is
another important practical considera-
ton, relative to children. Sevcnty-one
parts out of Il hundred of the body of the
teeth are composed of lime; and of the
enamel of the tooth. that which preserves
it from decay being its external coating,
ninety-four per cent. is lime, This lime
comes chiefly from the bread we eat but
in converting the ordinary grain into
flour, the bran, the husk of the grain. is
separated from the flour, yet it is this
bran which contains the lime in the larg-
est proportions: thus, in five hundred
pounds of fine flour, there are thirty
pounds of bone; in five hundred pounds
of the whole grain, there are eighty-five
pounds of bone: and when it is consid-
cred how much teeth add to personal
beauty and how important they are to
the healthiul preparation of the food for
the stomach, thus saving stomach labor,
it is not easy to estimate properly the
advantage which the whole of grain, as
food, has over the flour preparations.
We never become weary of bread, butter,
potatoes, and some other articles, and if
the cereals were well prepared. cooked
thoroughly, and judiciously seasoned,
there is no doubt they could be made as
palatable the year round as good bread.
The grain should be taken whole, or
broken into several pieces, covered with
warm water, placed on the stove or fire,
to remain there three or four hours, then
boil slowly for several hours longer,
with an occasional stirring, until quite
soft and thick; then eat with milk, or
butter, or syrup, or salt; or if cold, slice
off and fry brown. If from two to tif-
teen children were compelled to make
two of the three meals "A day of these
preparations of whole grain, or parching
it brown like coffee, and eaten with boiled
milk, after being itself well boiled, in all
cases of loose bowels, great gain would
be made in personal beauty, manly vigor,

AROuI EEEDlNG.

A great many people hesitate about
making the usual preparations for fall
and winter feeding because of the low
prices which cattle and sheep are now
commanding in market. But even if
prices are low, is it not even then the
best thing that can be done? How else
is the abundance of rough feed to be util-
lied? The average stock-raiser cannot
do better than feed. On his hogs and
sheep he is reasonably certain, unless
conditions greatly change, of realizing
some profit; and there are those who be-
lieve that cattle will at least pay for
themselves in market Il few months
hence. But, be this latter as it may, we
believe that man will fare best who keeps
on his usual way, ripenng his usual
quantity of stock. and consuming the
bulk of his feed at home. The chances
for good outcome, all kinds of stock
considered. are at least no worse than
wear ago, and the prospect is in some
particulars decidedly better than at that
time.
We understand that the farmers of
some feeding sections are thinking of
selling their corn. rather than consume it
in the usual manner. Well, there would
seem to be good ground for such action,
and vet under similar circumstances such
a policy has repeatedly been shown to be
a mistaken one.-Stockman.
