ROUMANIA'S GRAIN CROPS.
Though Smaller Than New York
State, Its Products Are Important.

Roumania is not large country. Its
entire population is materially less
than that of the state of New York, and
its area is 10000 square hSiles, thou
sand less than this state. Yet it has
become one of the principal grain ex-
porting countries of Europe.
Since the country was turned into
one of peasant proprietors by the
division of the crown estates, the cult
walton of cereals, and especially of
wheat, has increased largely, and with
it the exports. Last year Roumania
shipped from her Danubian ports rs per
cent. more grain for export than she
did in 1895, and of this total wheat was
the chief item. Last years wheat crop
in Roumania was 100000 bushels,
which, in view of the size of the coun-
try, is enormous. Nor is wheat the only
product of this Danubian kingdom, for
corn, or maize, as it is called there, is
raised to the value of $4,000, 900 year,
and the product of barley is $50, 900 tons
a year, and of rye 100000. The inn
portance of these figures will be seen
when it is stated that there is so per
cent. more rye raised in Roumania than
in the entire United Kingdom, and that
the corn or maize crop in Roumania is
larger than in any European country,
with the exception of Austria and Italy.
The total grain product in Roumania
amounts in year to more than 200,-
100000 bushels, and the average yield
to the acre of cultivated land is 25 bush
els, whereas it is only 20 bushels in
France and Germany and only ten in
Italy and Russia. A table appeared
some time ago in one of the European
scientific journals showing the average
yield in bushels of grain to the inhab-
liant in the various countries. In this
computation the United States stood at
the head with an average of 40; Dem
marks average was nearly as large, and
three other countries had an average of
% bushels each. Russia, Sweden and
Roumania. The average in France was
20, in Germany 16 and in the United
Kingdom eight. The lowest of Europe
an countries was Switzerland. The
shortage of grain crops in many Eu-
ropean countries has led to an unusu-
ally large demand, of which the United
States, as the chief grain-producing
country of the world, is getting the
largest benefit. but other countries
which have surplus for export are gain
ing some advantages, too, and Rou.
mania is one of the countries so favored.
Unlike the other Danubian political d.
visions, it has a railroad system of
eighteen hundred miles, and it has bet
ter roads than most of its neighbors.

The whole secret of keeping the
churn from smelling strong or
"cheesy" and preserving it sweet for
years lies in its being rinsed free from
buttermilk before the boiling water is
put in. This water cooks the particles
and holds them fast to the wood in the
same manner that it does upon milk
pals and strainers that are not first
washed in water only moderately hot.
If anyone has noticed a yellowish sub
stance attached to the inside of a milk
pail. whether wood or tin, he may know
that the cause of it is pouring boiling
water upon it before it is freed from
every trace of milk. Once on there is
only one way of removing it. and that is

times it needs abusing. Often,
however, the condemnation is
really absurd, and ponderous ex-
pressions, intended to awake in

the suggestion that our old sol
diers are capable of sympathy,
or in the inference that they
would have preferred a different
termination to the first battle Of
