The Excess to be Credited to the Sinking
Fund Is Large.

City Auditor Nisbet has written a letter
to Mayor Smith in which he informs him
with pleasure that the sum of Sc, ,S4l. .62
will be credited to the sinking fund for
the water loan due in 1890, as the amount
of the receipts from water works, in ex-
cess or the expense of maintenance, for the
year ending Sept. 30. 1891.
The amount OF excess for fSSs-9 was Sl2,-
33l. }S and for lSS9-9O, S25, 1879.
The interesting point is that when the
water rates We're reduced last year il was
feared that the department would not pay
Now, il proves, the receipts fall about 81
600 below those of last year at the higher
rates.

FARM PRODUCTS.
The Proportion of Them that is Consumed

The Proportion of Them that is Consumed
i'll This Country.
We take much pleasure in complying
with the request Of a farmer correspond
ent who writes as follows:
will you please answer this question:
What per cent. Of all farm prob" -"
consumed in this country? V -sU per
cent. Of all manufactures are con. ned in
this country Omitted States)? What per
cent. Of everything raised, manuE----~ed,
or produced ia aug acay is consumed in
this country?"
The exports of agricultural and manu-
featured products for 1888, the last year of
which perfect reports are at hand, were:
Animals NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. SIO9 S32 94S
Cotton and cotton seed oil ........ 224 ga 400
Miscellaneous farm products. ........ 30 94s, S95
Total agricultural exports. 1888. S493 g66 oag
Total agricultural exports, l581...... $780, S20 as
Exports of American manufactures
The value Of breadstuffs, which COM
prise all kinds of grain and -four, for 1888
was 81. 204, 2S9. $40 So that the export of
breadstuffs amounted to about one tenth
Of the crop.
Sir LION Playfair, an eminent British
free trader. speaking to meeting of vO-
ters at Leeds, which is the chief city of the
British wooden manufacturing district,
very recently told his hearers that in twen-
ty years from now they would have to look
elsewhere than to the United States for
5heir grain supplies. For" he said, eff
the relative increase Of farm products and
of manufacturing population continues for
the next twenty years In the same ratio as
for the last ten the manufacturing and
trading people will consume all that the
farmers can raise in America. His pre-
dictiOn would seem to be we'll inside The
mark, for while our wheat production has
shoan no average Of Increase during the
past ten years our average consumption
has increased greatly. n 1873 the total
output of wheat was 400 1870 4lS bushels
Of VIII i"h we retained only 272. G81, S65 fer
home consumption. In 1888 the output
was 4l6. O03,851 bushels. of which we re-
tanned 327181 ,399. In 1887 we retained
336, 785. l69 for home use out Of a total Of
457, 923. $50 The decrease in our wheat
exports has been very steady during the
last len years, it being l49 sos 553 bushels
In 1878, against only 50, 822, 1852 in 1888.
although the wheat crop Of 1878 was
greater than that of 1888. This does not
look as if we need trouble ourselves con
cerning foreign gram markets, so far as
wheat Is concerned at any rate.
As to manufactures, If is very difficult to
get correct estimate of the ratio Ct eX-
ports to production. We know what the
yearly exports amount to. but we have TO
guess at what the yearly output is, for
there has been no official statement since
the census Of 1880, and that is wholly in
applicable to the year 1891. But it is
certain that, greatly as they have increas-
prises are not yet on a scale of Sufficient
magnitude to supply the wants of the
country.
During the last SIX years there has been
bu slight increase in the acreage under
wheat or corn, the figures being as fol-
lows:

Successful Poultry Raising.

Work, perseverance, patience, grit,
economy and capitaI-these are the requi-
sites of the poultry business. You can
not succeed without work, and you must
persevere in the work, and have patience
and grit to hold on, and be saving with
The capital on hand, which you must have.
There is no use lodging the facts, you can
not start the poultry business without
money and without doing considerable
hard work. You dare not be discouraged,
but have the strong will to fight it
through. Then if you are economical and
have patience, you will be amply rewarded
This is business and must be founded
upon business principles. Apply the same
rules that are used IL any othtr enterprise
and, taking the capital stock into con-
sideration, see if the hens are not ahead.
There was time when the public were
taught that poultry culture was a sort oi
easy job and business that req uired no
capital at all. That was wrong. 1t needs
working capital. You must oil up
machinery before you can start.

Selecting Seed Wheat.

When I first began growing wheat | ran
my wheat through a mill, grading it so
as to take out about half. which would be
large, plump kernels. The smaller grain
was sold at the mlN. At present, says T.
B. Leroy in Rural New Yorker" my
practice is to select, when cutting the
wheat, half acre which promises to
yield more than any other part Of the lot.
| notice particularly where this is and
when the wheat is drawn to the barn, this
is taken last and put by itself on top of
the hay. The it is thrashrd first and my
own seed saved from it. Ny soil is not uni
form in quality. One could find spots
yielding at the rate Of, say, from twenty
up to fifty bushels per acre. Seldom IS
there a year, | think, when car not pick
out half acre that will yield at the rate of
from twenty to twenty-five bushels, or
twice that amount per acre.
But now, where does, the pIumpest
wheat grow? Where do we find the
time. Where do we find berries Of large
some years? In the richest part Of the
crop more or less lodged. If we thrash
iUC grain anu III IA IL anu tlICu ~ dNtC OlC
the largest berries, we shall be likely to
get most of our seed from the parts of the
field that yields the least. Is the plump
individual berry the best che to sow,
with regards to the conditions under
very much like to know for a certainty
from a series of careful experiments. Pro
fessOr Plumb is just the man to find this
out for Us.
| take the wheat from the best half
in such way as to take out nearly all the
screenings-the very small and badly
shrunken grains. In most seasons
these would amount to one bushel
out Of from twenty to forty.
All grain of fair size are left in
the seed. Perhaps you ask: Why not
Grade the wheat from the best half acre?
Well which heads contain the largest
grains-the smallest with 4 few kernels.
or the ones that had twice as many? |
have thought for some years that the
former did. and ] DO rot care to pant
them to the exclusions Of others. If it
was practical TO select the best heads
from the hest half-acre and then the best
berries from them, would like to do so;
but as far as n.y present knowledge goes
I do not care to grade my seed from the
best of the field. except to take out the
very poorest. have not jumped at this
conclusion as q matter of theory, for it's
the resuItof a good deal of observation,
and still | presume that nine farmers out
Of ten who 90 out to buy seed wheat would
select fine, plump grain from the field,
which had yielded twenty or twenty-five
bushels to the acre, rather than an infer
Ior-!oolling article somewhat smaller and
aaps a little shrunken from field
Itch they knew had yielded thirty-fve
.. s3-55y s,csheIs per acre.

I've loved those brlers just like folks,
May De you think ii queer.
1t seems l cannot. Must let

Fix these same flowers, weeds and beds
And prune the growing vine?
There's Dan, the horse that Johnny loved,
And Daisy, katv's ct;
The lambs the children loved SO we'll
We never can forget.
Say, can we sever all these ties
just for 4 home in town;
That you may wear better coat
Ana 4 better gown!
'Tis true that we could go to church,
Quite short would be the way;
You know our church needs all the help
OF those who praise or pray.
Would it be right for rs to leave
That we may have our ease?
If yOu had nothing there to do
l fear you'd fret and tease.
I'd rather leep the farm right on,
And labor while we can.
Well, wife, guess you're nearly right,
III stay, 4 happy man.
I'll keep the farm and plod along;
Those papers Ill not sign.
Well keep the things the children loved,
At peace with all mankind.
