The hog crop appears to be short
throughout the entire country. Why,
1t should be difficult to explain, but it is
not. The low prices that has prevailed
for a year or two past caused farmers to
become careless of their stock and the
young crop much of it was lost through
neglect. in part, and insufficient means
for protecting the pigs from the hard
spring weather. The supply can hardly
be brought up TO the demand within
twelve months and the extra good prices
that will very likely prevail will serve as
o vigorous stimulous to farmers to re-
cuperate their stock.

Kansas the Great Wheat state.

Kansas has fully demonstrated her
claim to first place as a wheat producing
state. Last year we produced total of
"A, $4,000 bushels. Indiana was our
strongest competitor, but she fell 81, 000,-
600 behind the Kansas mark. California
was $4,000, 600 behind, while both the
DakOtao combined did not reach the
Kansas figures by nearly 10000, 900

Kansas is only in its infancy. We
could produce five times &c, 900, 900 if
needs be.

New Field For Photography.

Photography, the mere art of taking
sun pictures, has entered on new field,
and thoroughly charming and inter-
esting one. III Is only the truth to say
that this new phase is due almost solely
to the amateur photographers. 1t is the
science and art of grouping objects and
living beings in, an artistic arrangement
and then taking a photograph of the
study. The effect is in some instances as
pleasing as that Of beautiful painting.
Indeed enlarged paintings could he made
from some of these groups that would
grace any gallery in the land.
The amateur lady photographers have
been the ones to develop this branch
most successfully. It is quite in line
with refined artistic tastes. It is also
much easierto use the warm, living flesh
and blood models to perpetuate an ar
tistic idea than to spend months and
years over dry paint and canvas and
then sometimes meet failure. The pos
sibilities are hero almost infinite, limited
only by the photographers artistic gift
To search long and carefully for beauti-
full models, to group them according to
the thought n the artists brain and then
snap a camera at the picture and pre-
serve it-thtro is not pleasanter fad or
relaxation than this. Every emotion
good and bad, every grace, every virtue,
beauty or dcfornlity can thus be depict
ed ut first hand. In this kind of work
Miss Katherine Weed Barnes, grand
daughter of Thrrlov Weed, has few
equals. She ha1ssbeen- pronounced in
London the most slillful amateur pho
tographer living.

From the data gathered itappears
that the wheat crop of the world has
been persistently underestimated BY
overlooking obscure countries which
in the aggregate have a considerable
production. The average crop of the
world for the ten years, 1881 to 1890
is 2,280,856,7l5 bu. of which 1873
100000 bu. is officially estimated by
the various producing countries. The
remarkable fact is brought out that
the worlds production of these
principal cereals is in about
the same volume, the aver
age for corn being about 2,3OOOOO.OOO
bu. and Of oats 2,32S,17O,8s5 bu. The
United States grows about Is per
cent Of the wheat, but in the case Of
corn this proportion is so per cent,
and in years Of plenty our own crop
nearly equals the worlds average.
The rye crop Of Europe Is larger than
the wheat crop, and more than one.
half Of it is grown in Russia, where
it is the national bread grain. Out.
side Of Europe this grain is grown ii
only two countries the United States
and Japan, and the production q
each Is about the same The record
Of wool presents some surprising and

Advertising q City.

What is the best method for ad-
vertising city? There is a ques-
ton, the answer to which affords an
opportunity for the advancement of
ideas of immense value to city build
ers. Judicious advertising can do
more than anything else in the work
of building up a city. Advertising is
one Of the greatest studies of the day
and the inventor of new styles and
methods in advertising is person of
rare value in this age Of improvement
The up-to-the- times real estate agent
should know the best way of adver-
Using the property he has for sale,
and he should also know the best and
most effective method for bringing the
good points of his city to the notice
of the outside world. New ways and
new methods are the best, for they are
the most attractive. Therefore the
real estate man should give the sub
ject of advertising careful study and
bring out the new ways and methods.
He would certainly find the study
remunerative.
The old methods of advertising a
city are so familiar with the general
public that they attract little or no
attention. Elaborate and expensive
illustrated pamphlets, a pet idea for
fifty years or more, have become SO
numerous and so unanimous in the
flowery praise of their respective
cities that they are neither read nor
believed. Isn't it about time for this
kind of idea to fall into the grave that
was dug for it many years ago? If
the statistics of the city were printed
in some influential newspaper or ma
gazine they would not only attract
attention, but would call for the read
er's serious consideration. 1t is not
the matter alone, but the place where
the metter is printed that does the
advertising. There are schemes too
numerous to mention, equally as de.
fective as the one we have alluded to
American Land and Title Register.

The most marked feature of the
first month of Cleveland warmed over
is the abandonment of all semblance
of civil service reform. He seems to
have forgotten all about the ladder
of his fame. In his ascent to Mayor
of Buffalo, and thence up to President
of the United States he never wearied
of sounding the loud timbrel in praise
Of civil service reform. But now he is
as partisan as his nearest Democratic
predecessor, James Buchanan. It is
a case of return to first love, for as the
sheriff Of Erie County he was in no
way different from the average
Democratic local politician.-Chicago

The Cherokee Outlet.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat writes that the above is the
right name for the tract of land COM
monty called the Cherokee strip He
himself has been over the country sew
eral times, I'd he pronounces the new
region "land of promise in every sense
of the term" The Outlet is 60 miles
across from north to south and 210 miles
long from last to west. The moment
the gun is fred announcing it open 50,-
600 will tear forward in race to locate
homes or CRIB town lots for speculation.
The Quilt lies between Kansas on
the north and Oklahoma on the south.
It will become part of Oklahoma ter
ritory on it's opening. The boomers will
find their way through it much easier
than they did in Oklahoma, for four
railroads already enter or cross it. There
are several good stage routes as well.
By the evening Of the second day after
that shot is fred the writer thinks very
few good claims will be left vacant, and
the majority of settlers will have taken
possession within three hours. In ad-
dition to having stage routes and rail-
roads through it the country is album
dainty watered. We know how good a
land it must be when we remember the
hard time there was getting the cattle
grazers off it, and they finally had to be
held off by United States cavalry. Be-
fore the opening the counties and county
seats will have been established, and the
settlers can have postohces and local
government at once. In months time
these American citizens will probably BE-
starting schools.
Oklahoma contains something over
100000 acres, half of which is first
class land; The Outlet Is almost three
times as large, with nearly all of it fer
tile. The CD writer says there are
very few quarter. sections in which a
thrifty man cannot earn d living for
himself and family. His imagination
revels with delight in the luxuriance of
the blue grass, which no number of cat
tie shave ever seemed able to eat off
during the summer months" The Cher
okee outlet:isSa good place for thrifty
farmers who have saved up a little
money by renting and cropping lands in
the older states.... -: l
From IS. GOO to 1000 quarter sections
will be open for settlement in this mag
nifcent country. The soil of most Is
black and loamy. The boomers who
await tho opening are all unusually
thrifty and intelligent class.

CANADIAN ACQUISITION.

The progress of the movement in
Canada in favor of union with the
United States, says the Pioneer Press,
is evidenced in no more forcible way
than by the reports which reach US
every now and then Of the forming
of associations in towns and cities for
the purpose of fostering the cause.
Such organizations are unmistakable
proofs Of a strong current of public
opinion. In Canada they seem, at the
present time, to be multiplying and
gaining generally in positiveness and
character. And this, too, regardless
Of political changes to which they
seem wholly Indifferent, although
political opinion as to their own
affairs is as active and strong in
Canada as elsewhere.
While the number Of people in this
country who would disapprove Of the
acquisition Of the northern provinces
is probably too small to constitute
even minority, the trend Of public
opinion here cannot count for
much towards furtherins what seems
a most desirable end. The change
when it comes, must be brought
about almost entirely by the efforts of
the Canadians themselves, and we
shall only be called upon for a smiling
consent. This it certainly will not be
difficult to give. The advantages,
although they weigh much heavier on
the Canadian side than on ours, are
yet not wholly the other way. Both
countries would be relieved Of
numerous petty embarrassmcnts; both
would be the gamers in the matter OF
trade; both would acquire dignity.
In these times and on this side the
sea, the dangers of a long line of ex-
posed frontier hardly exist. The adj
vantage would not be that of safety
so much as Of national and CONNER
cial strength. This is no small advan-
tage however, and it is one which is Of
course infinitely more important to
the Canadians than to us. The
growth Of sentiment on both sides in
favor Of political union is very diff
ferent matter from the gush of would
be ACKNOWLEDGEMENT with which the
Hawaiian situation expanded several
heads few weeks ago. That had
much in natural conditions to inspire
hesitation. This has everything in
its favor. This is a change which is
sure to come, and which will then be
as if it had always been. That would
have been cap feather of a doubtful
hue, likely at any minute to be plucked
out or to fly off of its own choice.
Hawaii could not now become one Of
the United States within any true
meaning Of the term. The Canadian
provinces can do 50 without radical
inward change and by the simple
transfer of allegiance. &

How to Crystalline Grasses.

Very pretty 1nantel ornaments may be
easily made by gathering clusters of
the various field grasses at the season of
their greatest beauty and crystallizing
them in alum water. All that is neces-
sary is alum, water and an earthen ja1
large enough to hold the grasses. Dis.
solve the alum in cold water "a pound to
quartz and warm it slightly. Tie the
grass, which must be well dried, to q
stick and lay the stick across the top of
the jar SO that the grass will be sub
merged. Keep in cool place for
twelve hours without moving. Take
out the grass and hang it up to dry. If
necessary repeat this twice or thrice.
The water may be colored with indigo,
Prussian red or saffron tea if desired.
