THE WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY

Sir William Crooke's declaration be- fore the British association that the world is fast cutgrowing it's wheat supply has not been everywhere ac- corded the respectful credenca that the calculations of sc eminent a scientist might be expected to obtain. Sir Will liam's opinion is that in anothsr thirty three years population will have so in- creased that unless agricultural pre- cesses are greatly improved, a good many persons will have to go without bread. His figures are disputed in two particulars. It is held that the popu
 iation cf the earth won't increase as fast as he fears, and it is also held that his estimate Of the total possible wheat lands Of the earth is a great deal toe small. There vii be great deal more wheat, his critics say, than he thinks, and very much fewer folks 10 eat 1t. Secretary Wilson Of cur agricultural department, is one of the experts who dispute his conclusions, On the ground that he has underrated the capacity Of the United States for producing bread stuffs to meet any demand.
 Sir Williams scientific prophecies are especially interesting because the time of their fulfllment is so nsar at hand. The majority of us grown-up5 will be careless of wheat crops before 1881, but general scarcity prevailing as scon as that will be a matter of real importance to our children. But, af- ter all, most of the worry in the world is about things that don't happen. There is enough wheat to last Us an- other var, anyhow. and prospects Of mere after that. Thirty yearsi What shall we care foI. wheat then? By that time the Standard Oil company will have acquired control of such parts Of the universe as it still lacks, and all Of US who are at all capable will be work ing for it, and the responsibility for keeping US alive will rest with our e1n- plcyer: Let Mir. Rock kefeller brood over Sir William Crooke's predictions; it's no funeral of ours.-Harper's Weekly.

"I have always commended" said the
veteran with the empty sleeve, that
standing picket on lonely post tried
soldiers nerve far more than the roar
of battle. Even when had post
where no danger was to be apprehend-
ed I've conjured up perils till my hair
stood on end and my teeth were on
edge. The closest call l ever had was
one night in the spring Of 1868, just be-
fore the opening of the campaign
When the enemy was very lively we
used to double up the posts, and where
you had comrade for company OF
course you didn't suffer as much, with
your nerves. Things along the front
had been quiet for couple of weeks
and on this night I had post on
tongue of woodland running down into
an old cotton field. 1t wasn't woodland
as much as bushes, and right at the
very front was fallen tree. Crouched
down behind that tree, with head just
above it, I could scan the ground be-
tween me and the confederates. TWAS

jumped into my throat and began to
tremble.

quake OF November IS occurred and
the island in question was so shattered
and partially submerged that what
ever treasure there might have been
was utterly lost.
In 1923 the islands were bot-bed OF
piracy. Blue Beard and Black Beard
lorlsl it in st. Thomas, and their rival
and sworn foe, Jose van Dyke, reigned
in Tortola. Those were stirring days.
international rights were rather
loosely observed. The islands really
belonged to Spain, but os she could
not deal with these nests OF pirates
England and Denmark set about doing
il for her-and, driving out the pl-
rates, hoisted their respective flags
and took possession. Tortola proved q
rich acquisition for England, being u
first-class sugar island in those days
of high prices and slave labor, and it
soon became fourishlng colony,
whilst its neighbor, St. Thomas, with
its matchless harbor, although eco
nomically worthless, became the en-
trepot Of the Lesser Antilles and a
rival Of Port Royal.
The subsequent history of these is
lands is that of the West Indies. Only,
perhaps, that their decadenne and
ruin has been both more precipitate
and more complete. II to-day ST.
Thomas Is but the shadow of its for
mer self, Tortola has not even the
shadow wherewith TO console its spir-
it, OF all the once fair and hourisEing
plantations that made the little island
one continuous garden Of economical
vegetation from the center all round
to the sea-" not one remains. The
hand Of decay has been laid heavily on
the land, and the shadow of desolation
covers 1t as cloud. The fields are
covered by forests at least quarter
Of century old; the jungle has in
vaded formerly populous villages; and
even in the capital, Road Town, the
halls of the once opulent colonists arc
crumbling ruins and eloquent wit
nesses to the speedy triumph Of nature
over the works Of man in the tropics.
From 10000 the population has dwin-
died to scarce as many hundreds.
This utter ruin Is partly due to
economic causes, but more immediate
ly so to the terrific seismic visitation
of 1867 above mentioned incidentally.
That, to great extent, changed the
very face of the islands, leaving great
trails behind that can be seen to this
day--the earth coverings of mountains
swept into the sea here, leaving the
gaunt rugged rock bare, and the very
bowels of Others collapsirg there, leav-
ing vast and repulsive crater-like
chasms where even tropical vegetation
refuses to grow. And the springs were
all dried up, so that aridness has sue
ceeded fertility.
But the Virgin islands are yet YER
table fairyland of scenic beauty. This
perhaps goes without saying, when one

HOGS AND THEIR FEED.

When dry, shelled corn is more eco
nomical than cornmeal to feed fatten-
ing hogs.
One bushel of cornmeal is worth
nearly three bushels of oats as food for
fattening hogs.
Cornfed pigs gained Az pounds per
week and ate about 81 pounds of corn
per 100 pounds of live weight.
Skim milk could not be economical
ly fed to fattening hogs unless it was a
product which could not be otherwise
utilized.
Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at 2S cents per
bushel, for less than three cents per
pound.
1t required ~ pounds, or one bushei
of ground oats, to produce one pound
of pork when fed with equal parts by
weight of cornmeal.
Indian corn is the most economical
pork producing material during the
winter months in regions where ex-
tensively grown.-B. L. Myers, in Mar

out to see what had happened. What
was it? Well, on the other side of the
log, with his head as good as blown off,
was one of the ugliest and most viii
famous looking bushwhackers or
guerrillas any man ever saw. He was
armed only with big knife, and his
plan was to creep upon me and give me
the cold steel. His fingers were
clutched about the handle of the knife
as if bolted there, and he had removed
his boots to aid him in making quiet
approach I don't know whether he
expected to find me behind the log or
among the bushes, but he was thirsting
for my life and was out to hunt me

COVERED BARNYARD.

keep it so closely packed that too rap
i'd heating is an impossibility. A COW
cred barnyard also affords stock a
chance to exercise and secure fresh air
without exposure to storms and cold
winds, no matter what the period Of
the year may be; and for sheep that
lamb in the spring it is just the place
in which they can winter, the opin-
ion Of many being that sheep clothed
with thick fleece of wool, as they are,
thrive better on an average when they
have cool situation. To justify this,
however, it is imperative that the barn
ward be enclosed all around except
that part facing to the south, with feed
racks Tor the animals arranged at the
sides. Sheep can be wintered in this
manner with but very little trouble.
Have you barn something like the
upright shown in the accompanying
illustration? II so, attach on the
sunny side Of it the addition that is rep
resented, which is in the virtual sense
two wings with roof spanning both,
the roof space to be used as storage for
hay, grain or other crops, it opening di-
rectly onto the second floor of the barn,
The wings may be best utilized for the
housing of any kind of stock, pigs, poul-
try, calves, colts or sheep. This simpli-
fies the work, other conditions being
equal. Since all the farm stock is gath
cred into one place, and practically un-
der one roof, the whole arrangement be-
comes n labor-soving machine, so to
speak, of the highest order, the COW
cred yard thus secured being adjacent
to all the stock quarters, and so atonce
accessible to all the stock.
At the front board fence should be
erected-if tight one it will further
protect the yard from the wind-hav-
ing at either extremity a gate, so that
a farm team may be driven in on one
side, the wagon loaded with dung, and
then driven out on the other side, thus
giving an easy turn; or, if one of the
wings is but half the length of the OPP
posite one, only one gate in front is
required, the covered space interven-
ing between the upright and this wing
then affording passage in and out of
the yard, and also more room as well
as more light in case the wings are
quite long, This arrangement, fur
thermore, secures constant circulation
of air through the yard, removing all
undesirable fumes arising, andkeeping
the whole pure and sweet, and this, in
my Judgment, is the proper construc-
ton, for while it makes the yard cold
er, it will be rendered unfit for use
only during few days of the winter,
and then temporary obstruction to
the cold may be put up at the open
space between wing and barn. If it
faces to the south, the yard will thus be
made practically impregnable to the
frost king.-Fred 0. Sibley, in Ohio

The Americanizaton of the Span-

ture cannot fail to bring the en-
tire chain of the Antilles, both
the Greater and the Lesser, under
the immediate notice of the people
OF the United States. OF late years
the various tourist syndicates have
done a great deal in this direction,
but their attentions have been neces-
.Sarily confined to those Of the larger
and more important islands where
some sort of hotel accommodations
may be counted on. These islands,
however, by no means monopolize the
palm for romantic tropical scenery
or Of the interest of antiquity-as an
tiquity goes in this part of the world.
Indeed, from an artistic point of
view, the palm easily rests with the
smaller islands, where the elevations
are more apparent in the perspective
and the tendency is toward a group
