WHEAT FED TO STOCK.
Total Amount This Year May Reach
75.3O3,OOO Bushels.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The returns
from the correspondents OF the statistical
division of the Department of Agriculture
relative TO amounts of wheat fed to stock
estimate the quantity already fed, that is
to say, up to Oct 80 4s, s,030.Oo0 bushels; and
the estimated amount TO be fed 29273. 600
bushels, making a total of a, ,303. 900 bushels
These figures on wheat feeding are merely
the meager estimates from those States
whose correspondents compiled with the
request of the department and must not
be taken as anything more than an at
tempt at approximation OF the total feed
ing of wheat from present supply. The
severity and length of the winter will
necessarily influence the final findings upon
this question.

village of Kulliguzat, but also put them TO
death In an atroci0us manner.
Men were also tortured in more fero-

by Mussuimans. Thanks however, TO the
measures taken by the la xfui authorities,

bedded or is found in heavy masses a
primitive method for obtaining the

Burmese, but principally the Chinese,
appreciate a fine piece of jade. For
example, piece ofjade, only sufficient
for bracelet, is worth 400 to 500
rupees in China, whereas IL Europe it
would bring but a small part of that
amount. While China and Burmah
