the Caucasus, and the Crimea.
Separate reports from Tananrog,
Odessa, and Nicolaieff affirm this.
Rye also is not spoken of in very
favorable terms In these districts.
The spring crops, wheat and bar
ley especially, however, are now
promising excellent results, ac-
cording to all accounts. In italy,
according. to our Genoa CORES
pondent, the general yield was
expected to be good, although the
recent storms have "laid" the
crops In some districts. Altogether
it is not thought likely that the
crop will reach last year total of
IA, 100000 qrs. In Spain the
wheat crop will be by no means so
deficient as seemed likely two
months ago; the yield is, how
ever, short in some important
districts, and the total crop is
expected to be certainly below
last years. From Chill the latest
mail news states that the bulk of
the wheat has been sold, and but
little more remained beyond what
was required for home consump-
ton. From Argentina shipments
of both wheat and corn are checked
by the decline in the gold pre-
MUM, which is % per cent below
that at this time last year, which
makes a difference in regard to
wheat of about As per quarter

late cables the weather was un-
favorable for the conditioning of
the new corn crop, the exports of

expectations if prices remain as
low as they are now. From AL
geria the latest reports mention
very poor harvest results IN sever
al districts, but from Tunis the
accounts are fairly favorable or

Crops abroad.

~ SAID IN part:
Reports agree in stating that
the prospects in Great Britain are
excellent, but the yield Is not
likely to be so abnormally heavy
as some enthusiasts appear to ex-
pect. In 1868 yields of 6 to s qrs
per acre were quite common on
good lands, but from all accounts
they will be far less numerous this
season; 80 bushels per acre is per-
haps the maximum likely to be
reached, which, on 100000 acres,
would give a crop of 5000, 900
qrs, against 4,750,O00 qrs last
year. In this connection, how
ever, it must be remembered that
stocks of old wheat at harvest
time will be much below the nor
NAL, which is usually considered
to be about 100000 qrs. From
France the reports are favorable,
from the important
rorthern and northwestern de-
partments. A Lille correspondent
writes, in fact, that the crop
promises to be exceptionally large,
so much so that farmers are really
Offering new wheat for delivery,
which is an unusual feature at this
season. The fact, however, that
in the center and east the crop is
irregular, and in the south by no
means good, indicates that the
crop may not much, if at all, ex-
coed that Of last year, viz: 40, 600
900 qrs. Wbeatcutting is expect
ed to commence in the neigh bor-
hood of Paris on or about July Is,
and in the north about ten days
later. In Germany prospects
remain quite favorable, and the
last official account puts wheat at
"a, against "a last yaar; rye at
"a, against "a; barley 2.5against
"a, and oats 26, against 2.5.
Wheat, barley and oats, therefore,
promise to equal last years yield,
but rye is decidedly better; the
figure 2 is taken to represent
"good" promise, and 3 "fair"
one. Last years wheat crop in
Germany was about Is, 900, 900 qrs.
In Belgium and Holland all the
crops are said to be very promis
ing, except oats, which have
evidently suffered rather from the
drouth. In Hungary certain
amount of damage has been done
by the recent heavy storms, prior
to which. however, the minister
of agriculture estimated that the
wheat crop would equal last years
while rye and barley promised to
exceed the crops Of 1895, oats be-
ing about equal thereto. The
acreage and estimated yield OF
these four crops, with last years
final return Of the yield, are ofici-
ally given as follows:
A rea, 1896. Est. yield, Yield, 1885,
Acres 1885, Qrs. Qrs.
Wheat 100000 1S,50OOO0 100000

Barley 2,6SO,OOO 100000 $4,000
Oats 2,475OOO 100000 7,35O,OOO
From Roumania the reports are
rather conflicting; some advices
state that all the crops except rape
seed are likely to exceed those Of
last year, but others state that
wheat, although good, will not
equal last years yield, partly ow-
ing to reduced area sown.
Mean while, however, 1t Is not
able sign that. shippers are Offer

The Best Feed for Cows.

Cows fed on straw and roots prob
ably produce not only more milk, but
that of IA better quality, if fed n well
balanced ration of good, aromatic,
easily digested foods. IL, however, a
ration is reasonably good, and cattle
have a full supply of food. experiments
appear to prove that the per cent. OF
butter fats cannot be materially in
creased by a change of food, though II
is believed by many intelligent dairy
me that, by taking young animals and
feeding them continuously for several
years on appropriate and nourishing
rations, the system can be so changed,
educated and developed that the per
cent. of butter fats will be increased,
