FUTURE PRICES OF WHEAT.

The Men Who Produce Wheat for the
Next Generation Will BE the Rich Men.
= Wheat is the matchmaker of the
future. 1t has been too cheap to pro-
duce for twenty years. The other ex-
IRENE is upon us. Consumption of
wheat has overtaken its production.
There are no more government acres
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 -four
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 it's 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 overtallen 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 its 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 all
signs of the times are wrong if they
are not going to have it.

Present Giving in America.

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 Gays, ''or to
ceremonial gifts, but to fRvors that
please both the giver and the receiver,
of which 1 saw great deal in the
British Isles. You will get little fancy
cap that was made for you out of a
remnant, or dainty book worth six
pence, or a shilling picture for your
wall, or a 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 thimble to feather for the hat,
or bottle of perfumery. 1t is 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. IN. Y. Sun.

PRODUCING NEW STRAWBERRIES.
AS soon as the most important blooms

and fertilize with pollen from the
other plants, using a came's hair
brush; then replace the sash, which
should be removed permanently as
soon as the fruit is we'll set: the finest
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
placed in greenhouse or conservatory,
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 directioc.-P.

The Chinch Bug Outdone.

A practical remedy for the much
dreaded chinch bug seems to have been
found by Prof. T. 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 IL days is required for the spread OF
the disease. Prof. Snow will continue
his experiments this season. All whose
feds are infested with chinch bugs
should apply to him for package of
diseased bugs with which to inoculate
the destroying pest. 1t is only neces-
sarv to distribute the diseased bugs to
different parts of the field. The dis
ease spreads itself, ana when the pest
is thick 1.-The ground becomes white

If the men do the milking it is good

MANY farmers would make their
diaries much more profitable if they
would give some hard study to the ma

which breed of dairy cattle is the best.
