Selling Water in Crons.

"As cheap and free as water" is the
old proverb, and it holds good in all the
Eastern portion of the country, and es-
peciaily in New England, whose
streams, finding their source in the
mountains of New Hampshire and
Vermont, water the whole surface to
the Atlantic Ocean or to Long Island
Sound. Ii more of this water were
saved to irrigate cultivated crops, it
would be better. Then their growth
would not be cut short by drought
Eighty per cent. of the potato is water,
and in beets, turnips and onions the
proportion of water is greater than
this. These ale, therefore, the most
profitable crops, for they do not ex-
haust the soil of it's mineral fertility,
as do grain crops, besides selling for
much more per acre than any grain
crop ever does.-American Cultiyator.

The Amount of Wheat Required t
Feed the World for a Year,

The Amount of Wheat Required to
Feed the World for a Year.
While the world-thanks to the fields
Of North America-has probably grown
in 1S9S-'99 the greatest crop of wheat
ever harvested as one result of the de-
pletion of American herds and the de-
votion of an otherwise impossible ten
million acres to wheat production, says
Self Culture, yet we must not lose sight
Of the fact that, while the years har-
vest probably exceeds the great world
crop of 1897 by some 100000 bush
els, requirements have increased by
more than 100,000,000 bushels, and that
the product of the harvest OF 1898 80
was drawn upon a month earlier than
usual, in order to exc out defective
supplies from the harvest of 1S9129S-
that is, while the world harvest of
1S9S'99 appears to be some 100000
bushels greater than the greatest pre-
ceding one, yet it is defective by rea-
son of a great increase in requirements
since 1894, as well as by the fact that
it must meet the needs of thirteen in
stead of twelve months.
Basing an estimate of requirements
for the 1882 harvest year upon the
known increase of population and the
consumption of recent years, as indi-
Gated by estimates, mostly official, of
production in such years, the bread
eating population of European lineage
inhabiting Europe, the United States,
Canada, Australasia, Argentina, Uru-
quay. Chile, South Africa, Siberia, and
the whites If the island and tropical
colonies of Europe will need some
2,360, 000,0 900 bushels of wheat, plus
the 160,000,000 or more bushels re-
quired to cover the thirteenth month.
Accepting the highest reputable esti-
mate of the outturn of the 1S9S-'99 har-
vest in the regions named and adding
100000 bushels of possible imports
from southern Asia and northern Afri-
ca, the available supply aggregates
1850, 10000 bushels. Granting th:t
these estimates are approximately cor
rect, it will be necessary to make an
ticipatory drafts upon the iss.s est 81
1899 for about 140,000,000 bushels,
showing that even with the largest out
turns the accumulation of reserves to-
tide over such defective harvests as
that of 1897 is no longer possible, the
power to make such accumulations
having disappeared in the absence of
acreage increases proportional to the
increase of the consuming populations.

Wedding Rye from Wheat.

The wheat-growing farmer dlSllkes
much to cultivate rye, because wher-
ever grown on the same farm some Of
the rye will find its way through straw
or manure to the fields where the
wheat is grown. 1t is not difficult
matter to separate the two grains as
they grow in the field together. The
rye heads out several days earlier than
wheat, and it spires UP a foot or more
higher, making it very conspicuous. 1t
is an easy matter to go through the
field with pair of shears and clip off
all the rye heads, cutting down low
enough to reach those that are behind
In growth. Wheat that Is free from
rye is worth several cents more per
bushel, and, of course, wheat free from
rye should always be used for seed.
