CROP REPORT.

Estimates Of Corn and Wheat Now on
Hand.
The crop report Of the department Of Agri-
culture for the month Of March, consists
principally Of estimates OF the distribution Of
corn and wheat, the stocks remaining in the
hands OF farmers, and tho proportions Of
merchantable and unmerchantable. The re-
port Is based on country estimates OF the
percentage Of last years product remaining
on hand.
The corn on hand az estimated aggregates
475.564, ,45o bushels, or S9.2 percent OF the last
crop. This proportion has been exceeded
but four times In the last 10 years, the guam
tity, however, Is an unprecedentedly small
one. The consumption OF corn for eight
months is an unusually small one. which fact
Is explained by the large amount Of wheat
fed 10 stock.
The estimated amount Of wheat In farmers
hands Is 70, ,0O0, 600 bushels, or 1853 per cent.
OF the last crop, and 1000, 900 bushels less
than last March. The explanation for this In
large measure is to be found In the fact that
large quantities have been fed to hogs and
other stock. Returns from North and South
Dakota. Nebraska and Kaneas indicate un-
psecedented exhaustion Of last years crop.

Some of the Tremendous Machines
Which Are Run by Electricity.
1t is not long ago that fifty or n sevj

one of the big things In engineering
and was looked upon as noteworthy
achievement How completely this
state of affairs has been changed Is
perhaps best shown by the several re-
Gently published accounts of the power

which comprises single-cylinder Sim
plex gas engine, rated nt nothing less
than 800 indicated horse power. The
brake horse power Is $50. The engine Is
worked by producer gas and has been
pointed to as an admirable Illustration
of the certainty with which the steam
engine Is being displaced for other
work, though slowly, perhaps, by other
forms of motors. Now that this jump
to 320-horse power gas engine has
been made, and, apparently, with re;
suits of a most encouraging nature, an
early step to still larger sizes seems
more than probable, and II may not be
long before we shall hear of the build
ing of the 50O-horsc power engine
which Messrs. Matter & Co.. Of Rouen,
the builders of the present Simplex
engine, have in view. The Messrs'
Thwaite Il Swinburne, In England,
too, In agltating the subject OF
distributing electricity from the Mid;
land coal districts direct to London
have contemplated the use of gas en-.
gine units of 300-horse power for a
1O,OO0.hors power station, so that the
era of gas engines of several hundred
horse power each would seem to be
fairly ushered In. The Pantin mills IN.

shows n consumption Of 1,043 pounds
Of coal per brake horse power per hour.
The consumption of Jacket cooling
water and water for the gas pro-
ducers and washer for the same test
was found to be 5S.3 pounds per horse
power per hour, or very much less than
the best condensing steam engines
would use though about double the
quantity that would be required for the
best uoncondenslng engines.
