The Imagination of Mr.. Kipling, which
has lately endowed the steam locomotive
with mind and heart, and his facile lit
erary art which has translated its puff
fling and snorting into forcible idiomatic
English may in time be lent TO the ideal
ization OF the new mechanical wagon with
the awful name-autoInobile For that
thing has come TO stay. About the auto
matte or the motor bicycle we have doubts.
Men and women who use the bicycle for
the sake of exercise are certainly not
anxious to possess one that will deprive
them of the chance tn exercise their mus
cles. But the wagons and carriages and
cabs that run without horses are to be the
vehicles of the future.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Reasons Why There Is . Good Market
In Australla.

Reasons Why There IL . Good Market
In Australia.
The reason why so large quantity
Of American wheat was imported into
Australia last year is explained by
Daniel w. Maratta, United States con-
sul-general at Melbourne, says the New
York Times. 1t appears that wool
growing Is regarded by Australians as
much the most important industry,
and in pursuing that the Australian
farmer is often led to neglect the cult
walton of wheat. AS rule, the larger
"squatters." or ranchmen, do not care
to devote their time to farming, pre-
ferring to give all Of their attention to
sheep raising. 1.-THE consumption Of
wheat in this colony" writes Consul
Maratta, sis at the rate of six bushels
to the acre, and as. the crop Of last
year only yielded four and two-tenths
bushels to the acre, it will readily be
seen that the colonists were short of
their requirements nearly two bushels
to the acre. To meet this deficiency,
the first for great many years, large
imports were made from the United
States. These shipments were made
from San Francisco, with the exception
OF one Or two vessels from New York"
It Is becoming common custom
among Australian ranchmen to rent
their land for wheat-growlng on shares,
the ranchmSn furnishing the land and
the seed and some neighboring farmer
doing all the work. As the wool-grow-
Ing industry. however. is constantly
tending to crowd out the wheat culti-
Walton, there is a prospect that In
creased demands upon America for
wheat supplies will be made in the fu-
ture. Mr.. Maratta says: 1T has been
wondered how 1t is that Australia can
produce wool. and. for that matter
sheep, so much more cheaply than
America, and the answer, too, Is very
simple. First. the advantage lies IN
the climate. Here you have climate
where the sheep can and do safely
spend every night during the year IN
the open air and without covering.
Then the pasturage is unlimited ana
virtually free. The cost of labor IS
cheaper than with us, and station NV
iEg Is cheaper, and all these things
combine to cheaper the animal. YOU
can purchase at retail butchers mere
In Melbourne prime lamb and mutton
at from 5 to 6 cents per pound.
