lrope. India, etcIN Am Ca Total.

The logical deduction from this exhibit
is that the worlds wheat production in
| 1891 will be about per cent below the
ordinary annual consumption, if present
| indications for European and American
crops are maintained, or about 65, 900, 000
! bushels.
Aside from this moderate deficiency in
wheat, is the fact that rye, which is of
great importance in Russia and very
considerably so in other continental
countries, is understood to be quite de-
cidedly short of the usual production
! this season.
A further feature, calculated to be a
strengthening factor in calculations as to
future prices, is the recognized low con-
dition of wheat reserves everywhere; SO
that the new crop, not only in this coun-
try, but elsewhere, will more early than
ordinarily begin to respond to the de-
mands for consumption.
The United States will by far be the
most important wheat-expOrting cOun-
try this year, and if speculative opera
lions do not too seriously interfere with
a free and steady movement of the sur
plus as it is called for by the importing
countries, it should be expected that the
average of prices will be even better
than for the past year, which shows a
marked improvement over any previous
year for quite a period-covering the
years back to 1SS2-S3
The influence of price on consumption
of wheat cannot be determined or relia-
bly, calculated. In such countries as
France. where the production is great,
and the entire crop and more is used at
home, it does not follow that all the de-
ticiency in the home supply as compared
with ordinary years will be made good
by ImpOrtations. The consumers of
wheat more widely represent the pro-
ducers in France than in this and other
countries; and where these growers
of wheat, on comparatively small
areas. are confronted with a deficiency
in this cereal, they will naturally adapt
themselves 10 the changed conditions
aud setisfy themselves with such pro-
ducts as ere obtained franz the lands
under their culture This also applies to
Germany, with perhaps but little less
force. So that in taking a survey of the
general situation for the future. the in
tiuence of such factors should not be
overlooked,
On the basis of a crop of 525. 900, 600
bushels in the United States, there will
be an excess of about 165 600, 900 bushels
of wheat over the home requirements
for consumption and seeding, which Will
approximately $50, 006, 600 bushels for
the coming year. The average annual
exports during the past ten years have
been 100, 00o, 600 bushels. For the two
years next previous 20 this period the
exports were larger than since then OF

The number of mortgages of record in
the United States a year ago, according
TO the United States census statistics, was
two and a half millions. 1t is safe to
say that since the enumeration was
taken the number of mortgages then in
force has been reduced one-fifth, if we
may estimate the balance of the country
by what has been done in Kansas, which
would leave the total at less than two
millions. But PETER and his ilk keep
right on giving out the number of mort
cages in the country at 100000, or
nearly five times as many as they are.
1t is trite old saw that it is a dirty
bird that befouls its own nest.

A DETHRONED KING.

| King Cotton is likely to be dethroned
by his own subjects. A statistician fur
nishes the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche
with figures that afford anything but a
cheerful outlook. Official estimates
place the present cotton crop at $780,
900 bales, or l, 1886, 900 greater than that
of last year, and the result of this is
shown in the disastrous condition of the
market. One year ago the price of mid
ding cotton in Memphis was 113c per
pound; now it is quoted at 78c., making
difference to the producer of $19.O5
per bale, and loss to the south by de-
probation in value of S152, 600, 900 upon
the entire crop. Brokers who have de-
voted a life time to study of the cotton
market do not afford encouragement in
their predictions of the future. They
believe that when the staple begins to
move the price will go even lower, and
tibet it will not be prudent for plant
ers and country merchants to
make calculations on basis
of more than nc. for middling. Not
withstandIng this gloomy outlook and
the almost certainty that the best plant
ers can hope for is to come out of the
season even, the Appeal-Avalanche
rightly sees in it lesson that if needed
will be worth to the south all it cost.
1t urges that planters must not longer
depend solely upon cotton, but must
diversity their crops. Corn must be
given at least even acreage, and if nee
essary to guard against disaster like that
which now is threatening, the king must
be dethroned and the cereals put in his
place.
The west learned the value of this les
son some years ago when continued
losses from almost universal wheat cul-
ture forced farmers to diversity their
crops. until now, with acreage equally
divided between wheat, corn, oats
and grasses, the equilibrium is
maintained, and with the farmers who
observe this rule there is no such thing
as a total crop failure. Cotton will al
ways remain the distinctive product of
the south as wheat is that of the north
and west, but few experiences like that
of this year will cause planters to guard
against its over production and give at
least equal attention to those crops that
are a guarantee against dependence upon
other sections for the necessarIes of life.
Recently there has been good deal
said about farmers IN the southern part
of Kansas taking up cotton and making
it leading feature in their crop series,
and it is for the benefit of that class,
mainly, that we call attention to the con-
dition brought about in the south by the
one crop system that is pursued down
there.

CURE FOR TEXAS FEVER.

Reports come from certain localities il
the southern border of the state of the
appearance of Texas fever among cattle,
The truth of the statement is not
vouched for, and under the operation
of the quarantine laws, state and nation
al, it seems at least improbable that the
disease could be introduced, and it could
not occur in any other way. Neverthe-
less, in view of the possibility of the
appearance of the disease and its fatal
ity wherever it appears outside of
the district where it originates,
an effectual remedy for ii
will prove an inestimable boon
to cattle owners wherever it may ap-
pear.
Mr.. John R. Hoxie, of Williamson
county, Texas, is the discoverer of an
antidote for Texas or Spanish fever. For
some years past he has sent large num-
bers of thoroughbred Shorthorn and
Hereford cattle to his farm for breeding
purposes, and claims that since he COM
menced using the remedy he has not lost
single animal. The following is his
own report, and he is said to be in every
respect a reliable man:
81 give each animal dose of belladonna
upon the first appearance of fever. This
usually comes about a month after the
stock reaches Texas; but not infreQuently
six weeks, or even two months pass be
fore they show signs of the disease.
Almost every month of the year
boua natfla m IjlliaroSon
and since began using belladonna have
lost none during the acclimatization.
Nor do fear / will lose any so long as |

to a tablespoonful at a dose, the age of the
animal and the condition of the fever

doses to any animal and often one dose is
enough.
at should be given clear and not mixed
with other matter. Soon after taking the
dose, the animal will throw up a white
froth which will be quite warm, almost
at fever heat in fact, but NO harm comes
from that"
The remedy was given a pretty thor
ough test several years ago by cattle
man-his name is not remembered-who
had herd of more than thousand
head that he kept during one winter on
the Greitfenstein place near this city.
The dread disease made its appearance
in his herd but by the prompht use of
the remedy he did not lose an animal
and soon banished it entirely.

More Than His Head Was in His Hat.

1t was gusty on the North river ycster
day morning, and most of the passengers
who stood on the decks of the ferryboats
held their fingers on the brims Of their
hats. One man on an Erie railroad boat
clutched a last seasons white hat firmly
with both hands. The tile was so evidently
q relic Of the past that his extreme caution
TO prevent it being blown away aroused
some ridicule, and as the refrain Of Where
did you get that hatY' grew more marked
and personal the owner angrily withdrew
his hands, as though he might need them
presently for another purpose. The next
moment the old hat was in the river.
a burst OF hesrtless laughter followed it
as it foated away.

driver consolingly. cit was called in long

The action OF the Shawnee county

buke to the editors of the party of the
state IN presuming to dictate the party
policy. But however this may be viewed.
the circumstance mentioned shows M
once that the said editors are very light
weights when they undertake TO measure
with the real brainy men of the party,
men who understand the partys inspira-
ton and traditions. The question might
be asked: Without fusion what is there
for the Democrats to hope for? And the
same may be asked of the Alliance, as
for that.

pense to the government in coming its

does It cost TO coin a dollar in silver or

The EAGLES impression that the anti

not meant as blind would yet be disre.
garded by the party whenever and
wherever it suited its purpose. is being
verified sooner than we expected. And
it must be admitted that the first break
being made in Topeka where the resolu-
ton was proclaimed, is something of a
surprise.
