Inmates that importing countries will
need 115,OOO,OO0 to 124,OOO,OOO metric
centners, or, roughly speaking, 45O,-
600, 900 TO 100000 OOO bushels more than
their own output, and that exporting
countries will be able to send 101, 000,-
600 to 1O0,OOO,0O0 metric centners, an
apporent deficit of 100000 to 10000
600, or say 60,OO0,OOO bushels. This re-
port, emanatirg each year at this time
from what is known as the Vienna
grain congress, is made up from COM

no means final, nor of any great value,
although interesting, as they seem to
reflect general conditions.

r. b. Amstutz, of Birmingham, o.,
gives the readers of the New York
Tribune the benefit of device which
he has tried with gratifying results
in shocking corn. He says that one
difficulty that is experienced in tying
with Irvine is that the shock is apt
to be bound too loosely, and then it
will not stand well. He aims, there
fore, to provide way for getting a
good squeeze on the bundle before
tying.
Mr.. Amstutz says: "Take an old

FURTHER PRAISE FOR HEROES.
The individual valor Of officers and SOL
SierS was never more surikingly shown
than in the several engagements leading
to the surrender Of Santiago, while the
prompt movements and successive Vlcto-
ries won instant and universal applause
To those who gained this complete trl-
umph, which established the ascendency
Of the United States on land, as the hght
off Santiago mad fixed our supremacy on
the seas, the earnest and lasting gratitude
OF the nation is unsparingly due. Nor
should we alone remember the gallantry
of the living; the dead claim our tears
and our losses by battle and disease must
cloud any exultation at the result and
teach US TO weigh the awful cost of war,
however rightful the cause or signal the
victory.
