America Will Feed Them.

Washington, July 13.-The De-
partment Of State today received a
carefully prepared estimate made by
the National Millers' Association of
France, giving the prospective wheat
crop of Europe for 1891.
According to these figures France
will have a wheat deficit of 0,222,-
600 hectares, which will require an
expenditure of 925,OOO,OOO francs to
make good.
The miller are trying to create the
impression that the supply is good in
order to buy cheaply. Commercial
Agent Griffin adds in his report that
all hope of relief from South Ameri-
ca has been abandoned, and even
the Argentine Republic is not now
mentioned as supplying the wheat
deficiency. All Europe is looking
toward the wheat fields of the Unit
ed States, and building their hopes
on our harvest, as their bread must
come from America.

The Sub Treasury Denounced.

The anti-sub-treasury convention
of the Farmers Alliance lately held
at Fort Worth, Texas, adopted the
following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That we denounce the
sub-treasury and land loan schemes
and governmental ownership of rail-
roads as violation of the first princi-
pies of good government, as paternal
in their character, as centralizing in
their tendencies, and if enacted into
the law would create such a horde of
national Office holders as would fasten
the clutches of the party in power
upon the Threats of the people so
strongly that the voices of the honest,
patriotic citizens would no longer be
heard in the control of government
affairs. We demand that those men
who are not farmers be removed
from the national state Offices of our
order and that none but those who
have their interests in farming be al
lowed to fill such places.
We now appeal to all honest mem
bers Of the alliance throughout the
United States to unite with us in put
ting down this common enemy and
disgrace of our order. To this end
we most earnestly recommend the
brother men of the United States to
meet in national convention at st.
Louis on the third Tuesday of Sep
TENDER, 1891.
Resolved, That we most heartily in
dorse the course of Hon. NJ. S. Hall,
president of the state Alliance of Mis-.
souri,, in refusing to concur in the &C.
ton on the case of G. w. Macune, al
Ocala, in opposing the sub.treasury
scheme, etc. We earnestly pledge
Hall our support in the noble and
manly effort to rid the order, both
state and national, of all shackles
which will retard its strength for III.
innate victory.

A Hen That Cooked Her Egg.

Not long since we got a half barrel
of unslacked lime and placed it in
our chicken quarters. A Leghorn
hen that had been accustomed to lay
ing in the barrel before the lime was
put in it, went to it the next day and
made her a nest in the soft, snowy
lime that had begun to air slack on
top. The barrel was nearly half full
of the lump lime, and as it had not
previously been exposed to the air it
got very warm and slackened rapidly.
Our Leghorn hen laid her egg, and
in flying out of the barrel pretty well
covered it with lime. When we took
it out that evening it was quite hot
and had been literally cooked, the
white being coadjulated and adhered
to the shell. This is the first instance
of a hen cooking her own egg that
had come under our observation in
ten years experience with poultry.

The Weather Bureau.

The signal service corps of the
army was relieved, on July l, accord
ing to the provisions of an act of Con-
gress, of the duty of furnishing the
public with the daily weather re-
ports, and. this work was turned over
to the Department of Agriculture.
Gen. Greedy is succeeded as chief of
the bureau by Prof. Mark w. Har-
rington, professor of astronomy in
the University of Michigan, at Ann
Harbor, and editor of the American
Meteorological. journal. He is about
43 years old. and is regarded as an
accomplished student Of meteorolOgy
and climatic problems. He has had
considerable correspondence with the
department about climatic matters in
relation to agriculture, having pre-
pared a bulletin on the subject, which
is about to be published by the de,
partment. The intention Of Congress
in making the change was that the
work of the weather bureau might
be extended beyond its present scope
in every way where such enlarge,
ment could possibly be of benefit to
our agricultural interests, Secretary
Rusk says the work of the meteoro.
logical service of the United States
government must go far beyond the
mere fOrcasting of the weather, and
be so extended as to include a
thorough systematic investigation in
to the climatic conditions of various
sections of the country, in order
that a full knowledge of them and OF
their effects upon growth should be
available for the farmers.

was Saturday morning in a big
farmhouse kitchen; Nell was bending

an expression of grim determination

mics breastwOrks; and Susan was

ed-but they often spoke sharply and
unkindly. Work was to them a
separate state of existence, in which
the Christian graces played no part.
"Did leave my whip in here ?"
asked hesitating voice at the open
door, and boy in big straw hat APP
peared behind the voice.
NO." snapped Nell, "but's won>
der you didn't, for you are always
| leaving something around for us to

"It has fallen down under your

"Ned, you are always bothering

she arose with ungraciousness in

"Father called me to come quick

Snap Shots at the Devil.

The man who belongs altogether to
the devil is generally the last to find
it out.
The devil never gets a chance to
loaf in neighborhood where a good
man lives.
The devil has to work extra hard
to get hold of the children who have
good mothers.
Every time a sermon is heard
without repentance the devil gives
his fire another stir.
The devil probably finds a good lot
of satisfaction in watching the wo>
man who loves to talk about her
neighbors.
The man who simply wants to be
good enough to get to Heaven is not
a man that the devil wastes any pow
der on.
The devil is not much afraid of the
preacher who measures a service to
God by the amount of money in it
for himself.
1t isn't likely that the devil feels
much out of place in the company of
man who doesn't pay for his news
paper.
AS soon as church members begin
to give more money for missions
than they do for cigars and tobacco
the devil will begin to feel uneasy.
