FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Chicks need gritty sand or fine
gravel rs soon as they begin to eat. to
start their grinding apparatus
In no way can farmer with less
trouble enrich poor field with scanty
herbago than by feeding sheep on 1t.
So affirms an English sheep farmer
-Grubs in cattlo may be removed
~ squeezing them out through the
,rifice. which can DO seen just over
each grub As this process causes
some pain and local irritation. remove
only . fcw each day. some little dis
lance from each other.

corner on the average farm but what

are not exceeded by any parts Of the
farm.
An emulsion Of kerosene oil with
milk has been highly recommended as
an inscclicide tor use in the orchard
and garden; but the New ENGLAND
Farmer advises caution in applying
il. lest it d. more harm than good.
The emulsion should DO perfect. and
not TOO strong. rlt will destroy tender
plants and the bark of trees.

feet apart should be dug. and the soil
thrown into tho road-bed. Ifpossible.
the water should be drained out OF the
bitches. In some cases the road needs

or four inches thick should be put on.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.

No event Of the past decade has created
- much interest in the whole country rs
the coming Of the Centennial Exposition Of
the Ohio Valley and Central States, which
opens its doors in Cincinnati on the nations
birthday July -, to continue for one hun
OF the one hundredth anniversary Of the
settlement Of tho Northwest Territory.
Unlimited means have been placed at the
disposal Of the managers by the entcrpris-
Ing business element Of the Queen City, and
nothing is being left undone that win con-
ducc to the success Of the undertaking. In
stead OF local-as some supp set IL .

Of which has been recommended by Con-
gressional Committee TO whom the matter
was referred.
The guarantee fund Of ono million and
fifty thousand dollars, which the Board Of
Commissioners have at their command, has
enabled them TO provide magnificent quar-
ters in which to display the mass Of articles
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nu-
merous Expeditions on smaller scale have
been held, and which cost over one million
dollars, will give to this affair better facili.
ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing Of
the kind ever held in this country, not cx-
cepting the famous Exposition in Philadel-
phia in 1876 The area Of exhibiting space
will be about sOnQ0O square feet. The tenn
porary buildings, when ready for oCcu-
pancy, will have cost no less than q quarter
Of a million Of dollars, and are models OF
architecture, combining all the elements
necessary for the uses to which they will
be put.
The Expedition has been advertised for
the past year In q mastery manner, and
there is no section Of the country that has
failed to hear Of the great event. Applica-
tons for exhibiting space have been re-
ccived in abundance from every cline, and
there seems to he ID reason to doubt its en-
tire success, both artistically and dnan-
sally.

This laughable comedy was first pro-

GIGANTIC WHEAT RECEIPTS
Predicted by the Market Record
for This Year.

There are now in store in MinneapO-
lis 100000 bushels, in country elevat-
ors northwest and west of here some 15,-
100000 bushels, and in the hands of
farmers northwest and west of this city,
according to recent estimates that bear
the stamp of close investigation,
some 1O,0O0,0O0 bushels of wheat
above bread and seed, making 3d.
100000 bushels in all. Local mills
and shipments for the supply of
the outside demand are expected to
want 800 cars daily average until Sept.
l. say 200 working days. That calcutta
ton calls for $4,000 cars or 10000, OOG
bushels yet to come here from the 1887
crop. Minneapolis has already received
in the four months of the crop year
Sept. to Jan. 1-25, 000, 900 bushels, and
has gained in local stocks only 6,0O0, 600
bushels. That is, 100000 bushels have
peen consumed here by the mills and
otherwise disposed of. Allowing the
call for wheat to be as urgent for the re-
manning eight months as it has been for
the past four, receipts would have to be
100000 bushels to meet it. The de-
mand will not be SO large for the
first three months on account of
the shortened capacity of local mills.
AlIcI uldklnS tndG allowance Tile Qe-
mand and prospects indicate that the
for the current crop year will exceed
5O,OO0,00O bushels against 100000
bushels from the crop of 1885, The le-
ultimate requirements will demand that
amount and if the movement at any
time falls below the rate indicated, or
less than 800 cars daily, prices will
harden to that extent that will most
likely turn the usual volume of move
ment into this channel again.
