: Charles Francis Adams has been con-
vsrted to bi-metallism. He says that when
the silver discussion broke out year or 20
ago he was "a gold monomstalist." He
regarded tho talk of there not being gold
enough to go around as squire nonsense. I"
But he has "sincs seen occasion to revise
this conclusion" 1.-The financial troubles
of last summer. due entirely TO the with
drawal of . small amount Of gold from
this country, has satisfied me that gold

peace and quiet; but let any disturbance
como, let any nation. in view Of impending

entire exchanges Of the whole world
would be disturbed" "rhs trouble II, OF

And so Il follows that with silver added

FEEDING VALUE or WHEAT.
A Question That is Pertinent In These Days
OF Cheap Wheat and Dear Corn.

A Question That is Pertinent In These Days
OF Cheap Wheat and Dear Corn.
Before me lie four letters, all asking
information on the same subject-thc
feeding value of wheat for our live
stock.
These inquiries are stimulated by the
anomalous conditions which now pre-
vail in our markets for foodstuffs.
Wheat has been gradually going down
in price for some years past until it is
now at figure we would not have be-
lieved possible ten years ago. Corn,
although very closely related to wheat
in it's nutritive constituents, has fuc-
tuated in price each year from causes
apparently independent of the wheat
supply or price.
All this time we find wheat at its
lowest because, they tell us, Of the
large supply in comparison with the
demand, and corn selling at about the
price as wheat in Chicago because OF
the prospects of an unusually small
crop in the great corn districts OF the
west. That ffty-six pounds of corn
should sell for as much as sixty pounds
of wheat may well cause us to wonder
what will happen next.
1t is good time for feeders to have
their wits about them and make the
most of the situation. | do not won
der that men hesitate about feed
ing wheat to hogs, for we
can not help thinking of the,
many that must suffer for
bread the coming winter. We have
been taught by custom to regard this
grain as in some way set apart for mans
especial use, and that there is defile-
ment in feeding it to stock, while we
hold corn as the food par excellence
for stock and decry its upward price
toward the level of wheat as altogether
wrong in the very nature Of things.
Let us first look at the comparative
value of wheat and some of its prod
ucts and compare these with corn:
