Wheat Crops In Foreign Countries.
The Chicago Trade Bulletin saysa
"The latest information from Euro
pean countries is somewhat conflict
ing regarding the crop situation. but

gregate the yield of wheat will be con-
siderably smaller than reported in
1Ss6-in all countries probably 100.

dom the season has been backward.
with unreasonable weather, and ths
yield will be slightly under that OF last
year, even with good weather to the
close of the harvest. There Is little
doubt but the wheat crop OF France
will be considerably less than in 1899
possibly 10000, 900 bushels. Seeding
was delayed in the fall and the spring.
and the area was materially reduced.
The condition of the plant is not very
good and will require good weather to
approximate an average yield. There
is little doubt but France Will De

ing the season of 1898. In Russia
the prospects have been favorable tor
an average yield, but recent oamaSe
reports indicate lighter crop tnan
in 1896. Winter wheat will probaoiy
be somewhat under the average. while
spring wheat is in fairly good condi-
ton and may yield we'll. Rye VIII
probably be a fairly good crop. IN
Germany the crops generally are IN
good condition, and there is little doubt
but the yield of both wheat and rye
will be an average. In Austria ana
Hungary, the prospects are not very
favorable and the wheat and rye crops
will be smaller than last year. IN
Roumania the outlook has been quite
good, but storms during the latter part
Of June damaged the wheat and rye
crops and reduced the yield at least
one-fourth. In Holland and Belgium
the prospects favor an average yleld
of wheat and most crops. In Portugal
the wheat crop will be a very large
one and sufficient to give supply two
months longer than usual. Reports
from Spain indicate that the yield OF
wheat and small grains will be only
moderate, considerable damage being
sustained by storms. Italy will prob
ably secure fairly good wheat crop.
Reports from India indicate that tbs
wheat yield will be about one-eighth
less than last year and that the ex-
portable surplus will be small. Pros
poets for wheat in Argentine are rather
favorable, and unless some damage is
sustained by locusts, which have ap-
peared in some provinces, the yield will
be fair and exportable surplus slightly
increased. Advices from Australia in
dictate favorable weather for the wheat
crop, and while the yield will not be
sufficient for an exportable surplus the
probabilities are that Australia can
hardly be classed as an importing
country this year."

supplementing tho Pasture.

The general practice Of dairy farm
ers in both Missouri and Kansas is to
pasture their cows during the summer.
The soiling system is practiced to q
very limited extent, although there is
a growing tendency in that direction.
At present the practice is to grow a
field of fodder corn or sorghum to be
cut green and fed to the cows when
pastures begin to get short from
drought. The feeding of grain to the
