Other Lines Shocked by the Promptness Of
the Alton in Reducing Hates.
CHICAGO, July 1S.--The roads in the
Western Passenger Association are showing
good deal of Iaeasiness in consequence of
the Chicago q Atoms independent action
in regard to Grand Army rates. They had
been given TO understand that the Alton
would make round trip local rate at SO
between Kansas City and Chicago. in case
the association decided to make through
excursion rates to the Grand Army en-
campment at Detroit by all connecting
lines, but somehow they seem to be
shocked by the promptness with which
the Alton has fulfilled its promise in this
respect. One of the South western lines
has declared its intention of meeting the
rates made by the Alton. which is inter
Dreted that they will all sell local tickets
between the Missouri river and Chicago at
$40 for the round trip, making them good
to bearer. 1t does not follow that the Al
ton will make further reduction, al
though it will doubtless do SO if it finds
that it cannot otherwise secure what it be-
lieves to be its legitimate share of the
Grand Army business. In any case the re-
suit will, il 10 believed, be q demoraliza-
ton OF passenger rates In the territory
west of Chicago, as the local round trip
tickets will not be hedged about with the
usual excursion restrictions.
Worlds Fair Freight Rates
CHICAGO. July is.-The TranscOntinental
Association has notified the worlds fair
people that the railroads west of the Missouri
river will carry free. returning. all goods

paid for at full tariff rates going to Chi

same road that transported them to the
fair. This includes the transportation OF
building material The Western Traffic
the Central Traffic. the Trunk line and the
New England associations have all taken
similar action, and these comprise nearly
all the important railroad systems in the
United States.
Rate Cutting to BE Investigated.
CHICAGO, July 1s.-vice- chairman Don
aid, of the Central Traffic Associa ton, has
called meeting of the East bound Passen-
ger Commission for Monday next TO con-
sider among other things. the action of the
500 line in cutting the rate from st. Paul
and Minneapolis to the sea- board. Another
matter that is to be- brought TO the atten-
ton of the commission is the discovery that
the brokers' Offices in Chicago are stocked
with return portions of rOund-trip tickets
issued by New England lines, which are
used to cut the rate to Boston.

A New Yorker who has been abroad
says that the habit of giving small
presents to friends or acquaintances is
far more prevalent in Great Britain than
it is in the United States. ~ do not re-
fer to costly things" he says, "or to
ceremonial gifts, but to favors that
please both the giver and the receiver,
of which / saw great deal in the
British Isles. You will get a little fancy
cap that was made for you out of a
remnant, or a dainty book worth six
pence, or a shilling picture for your
wall, or pretty pair of slippers, or a
pocket knife, or some object of art, or
something else just for remembrance.
And the women give to each other all
sorts OF nice things for feminine use,
from a thimble to feather for the hat,
or a bottle of perfumery. 1t is a pretty
custom. 1t surrounds you with pleasant
reminders of your friends. When among
acquaintances abroad often heard of
their getting and giving presents such
as we would never think of in this
country."-N. Y. Sun.

FUTURE PRICES OF WHEAT.

The Men Who Produce Wheat for the
Next Generation VIII BE the Rich Men.
= Wheat is the wealthmaker of the
future. 1t has been too cheap to pro-
duce for twenty years. The other eX-
treme is upon us. Consumption of
wheat has overtaken its production.
to subdue for its production and the
increase in the population of the world
Increases its consumption to over thirty
million bushels per year. In the near
future wheat will sell in the farmers
granaries at from two to three dollars
per bushel.
1t is gratifying to have this view sus-
tanned by such an eminent authority as
Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis,
who is at the head of the largest flour
mills in this country, if not in the
world. His position as one of the
largest cash buyers of wheat in Amer
lea makes it necessary that he should
keep thoroughly informed as to all the
conditions which are likely to affect
the market price of wheat and flour.
Probably no one in the United States
has made deeper study OF all phases
of the wheat question or is better in
formed as to all sources and statistics
of its production, the relations of sup
ply and demand and all the conditions
of the market than he.
c. Wood Davis in recent elaborate
article in the Arena declared that the
consumption of wheat throughout the
world had already overtaken produc'
ton, and that at so early date as 1895
the United States will have ceased to
export wheat, and in fact, would have
to import it to supply its own deficiency.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press, stimulated
by the statement of Mr.. Davis, caused
Mr. Pillsbury to be interviewed, and
the latter agreed with the Arena writer
that the consumption had in fact over
taken the production and that there
had been no increase of acreage OF
wheat to correspond with it's increased
consumption in ten years.
This will be gratifying news to those
who have been producing wheat for the
last decade at ruinously low prices
They ought to have a benefit and al
signs of the times are wrong if they
are not going to have it.

The ChInch Bug outdone.

practical remedy for the much
dreaded chinch bug seems to have been
found by Prof. +. N. Snow, of Law
renee, Kan. His experiments for two
years show that it is possible to dis
tribute chinch bugs affected with
white fungus This fungus is very
contagious and spreads rapidly among
the insects that infest wheat fields
Nineteen out of &c trials on practical
scale show that the diseased bugs killed
about all the chinch bugs in the fields
to which they were applied. From 10
to 12 days is required for the spread Of
the disease. Prof. Snow will continue
his experiments this season. All whose
fields are infested with chinch bugs
should apply to him for a package of
diseased bugs with which to inoculate
the destroying pest. 1t is only neces-
sary to distribute the diseased bugs to
different parts of the field. The dis
ease spreads itself, ana when the pest
is thick "the ground becomes white
with dead chinch buga"

As soon as the most important blooms

should be removed permanently as

only of these cross-fertilized berries
should be used for seed. At perfect
maturity wash the berries and wash
out the chosen seed; place the seed on
ice for few days, then sow in box

and, when the plants attain sufficient
size, transplant to the open ground
These plants, with good attention and
culture, will be large enough to stand
the winter we'll with suitable covering,
and will speedily be in bearing condi-
ton. The principles involved in choos-
ing parent varieties are, first, to choose
those having as many strong points
as possible in common; and, second,
when the mother variety lacks in some
one essential, select the male parent
having that missing quality most fully.
In short, aggregate in the prospective
progeny as many strong points as are
retainable. OF course we cannot sum
up all the good points of both parents
and know we have that aggregate, but
possibilities lie in that directiou.-P.
