WHEAT RECEIPTS
DROP $216,0)O,ODO
Production Is 166,236,OOO
Above Last Year as
Income Falls.

Tho Agriculture Department told
the short story Of Americas wheat
country neutrality-suspicious., 1885,
2S6,000 bushels more than last year:
income, January to September, $216,-
100000 less than for the January
September period of 1887.
The receipts from the marketings
OF all farm products for the first
nine months Of the year 1888 are
estimated by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics at $5,O44,O0O 900,
or l3 per cent less than the $780,
100000 for the same months in 1887.
The September income for farmers
from cash sales. is estimated at $751;
100000. and farmers income from
Government payments this September
is $27.000,000. The figures for 1887
we're $8l6,000,000 and $5,000,OO0.
The bureaus report on farmers
income had optimistic aspects:
Receipts from farm marketings in
September were 2 per cent larger
than the $6l4,00O,OO0 estimated for
August. This increase is somewhat
larger than usual for this time of
the year.
May Raise Cash Total.
Improvement in demand for farm
products, together with purchases Of
the surplus farm products by the
Federal Surplus Commodities Corp,
in the last few months of the year
may raise the total cash income from
farm marketings and Government
payments for 1888 above the esti-
mate Of $500 100000 made in
August"
The wheat problem, however, re-
mains acute, according to a special
report by the Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics. The bureau yesterday
put the estimated world wheat pro-
duction at 1866 100000 bushels, the
largest on record and 10000 900
bushels above the estimate of
month ago. when Secretary Wallace
decided on subsidizing American
wheat exports in order to make a
foreign market.
The report said:
Total United States wheat sup
plies are now indicated to be 1884,
900 bushel, consisting of a July /
carry-over Of 154,OOO,OO0 bushel and
the crop. estimated at 100000 900
bushels.
III disappearance approximates the
700,000,000 bushel last season and
exports total 1Oo,OOO,0o0, the carry
over on July l, 1899, will be close to
100000 bushels.
Comparison With 1888.
This compares with the record
carryover in 1888 of about $4,000 900
bushels and the five-year, 1880 to
1884. high level Of about 5000, 900
bushels"
The course of the wheat price de-
pends now on developments in Aus
tralia and Argentina as we'll as on the
progress OF the winter crop in this
country and general business condi-
tions.
Need Of rainfall indicates short
crop In Australia and Argentina. and
since the Western United States is
suffering a prolonged dry spell, the
coming crop may fall far below this
years.
The current crop of 100000, 900
bushels compares with 1898 900 a
year ago. The wheat crop brought
the wheat growers $3.50, 100000 during
the hrst nine months OF 1887, but only
S640, 100000 this year.
Some further improvement in the
general business situation is expected
during the next few months, the
bureau reported, and with the i'm
provement may come better wheat
price.

William, of Lewistown, had passed
away that morning. The Great Falls

following announcement.
"Lewistown, Feb. 3.-This COM

the city's most beloved and respect
ed citizens, William M. Blackboard
aged n, whose passing occurred this

the esteemed attorrrcy--He was
born in Illinois in 1860, came to
Montana in 1889, the year the state
was admitted, entering the practice
of law at Helena. He became secre-

Whether the hair grows after
death is debatable matter and au-
thorities may be quoted on both
sides. The weight of authority in
clines to the belief that growth of
hair stops with death. says the De-
troit News. The lengthening Of the
hairs of the beard often observed in
dead person is explained by the
shrinkage of the soft tissues around
each individual hair, the result of
the drying up of the skin. and mus
Giles. Even those who do believe
that hair can grow after death adj
nit the rarity of such cases and also
that such growth could be very
brief. The popular idea that some
times complete beard or long hair
growth on the head may be pro-
duced on a body is given no Gre
dence. c. Nessler's book, 1.-THE
Story of Hair" mentions two cases
of hair growth after death, one of
these in connection with a lawsuit
against the heirs of the duke OF
Portland in England.

Most Animals. Talk;
Rabbits, Hares Scream

A rabbit is usually a very silent
creature, but the poor thing can
talk" when trapped or caught by
stoat. II screams terribly, and
SO does the hare, states writer in
London Answers Magazine.
Most land animals have voice Of
some sort Even the South Ameri-
can sloth, which never seems more
than half alive, can make sounds.
OF all large, warm-blooded animals
it is said that there is only one that
has no vocal cords and is quite in
capable of anything but sign lam
guage. This is the giraffe.
Elephants trumpet, camels
squeal, seals bark, stays at mating
time roar, and the noise made by a
hedgehog must be heard to be be-
lieved
Natives of the Southern Soudan
say that species of python can
give sort of whistling cry, but This
has never been established by nat
uralists.
Frogs can croak or bleat, but
among lizards there are only very
few that have any power of making
sound. One common in Malaga pro-
duces loud ticking noise.
Fish, too, are dumb, though some
species can make audible sounds
when taken out of the water. The
catfish croaks and one of the CUR
nards makes similar sound.
