Dostcu. DOLLAK "WHEAT HAS COME TO STAY. In Than Kiv YfM Central Canada Will He nllrd Upon to Supply Hie Inited State. A couple of years aco. when the an-nount-en.ent was made in these columns that "dollar wheat" had come to star, and that the time was not far distant when the central provinces of t'arada .Manitoba, Saskatchewan nnd All.erta would be called upon to supI ly a lar.se part of the wheat consumption in the United States, there were many who laushed at the predictions and ridiculed the idea of wheat reaching the dollar point and sayin there. Doth of these predictions have come to pr.ss. Dollar wheat is here and it is not only here, but is here to stay; and at the same time, whatever unpleasant sei'.satier.s' It may arouse in the supersensitive Amerienr. Central Canada is already beinji called upon to help keep up our bread supply, and within the next five years will, as James J. 1IÜ1 says. literally "become the bread-basket of our increasing millions." There are few men in the United States better acquainted with the wheat situation than Mr. Hill, at;d there are few men. if any, who are inclined to be more conservative in their expressed views. Yet it was this greatest of the world's railroad men who said a "few days ago that "the prb'e of wheat will never he substantially lower than it Is to-day" and when It Is taken into consideration that at that time wheat had soared to $1.20. weil above the dollar mark, the statement is peculiarly significant, and doubly significant is the fact that tn this country the population is increasing at the ratio of i'ut per cent, while the yield of wheat and other products Is Increasing at t!e rate of only 25 t cent. For several years jiasc the cost of llvlns has lrii steadily increasing in the United States, and this wide difference In i rodut tion and consumption is the res.on. This difference must be supplied by the xasz and fertile praln regions of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. There is now absolutely no doubt of this. Kven the press of the country concedes the fact. Results nave shown that no other country in the world can ever hope to equal these provinces as wheat producers, and that no other country can produce as hard or as good wheat. Said a zreat grain man recently. "If United States wheat maintains the dollar mark, Canada wheat will be well above a dollar a bushel, for In every way It Is superior to our home-crown grain." With these facts steadily impinging their truth upon our rapidly growing population, it is interesting to note just what possibilities as a "wheat grower" our northern neighbor iossessos. While the United States will never surrender her prestige In any manufacturing or commercial line, she must very soon acknowledge, and with as much grace as she can. that she Is bound to be beaten as a grain produ--er. It must be conceded that a great deal of the actual truth about the richness of Canada's grain producing areas has leen "kept out of sight." as Mr. Hill says, by the strenuous efforts of our newspapers and magazines to stem the exodus of cur best American faruirs Into those regions. It Is n fact that up to tte prent time, although Canada has already achieved the front rank in the world's grain producers, the fertile prairies of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta have as yet scarcely been scratched. Millions of acres, free for the taking, still await our American farmers; and when thes million are gone there are other millions In regions not yet opened up t: Immigration. A few years ago the writer, who had been through llvisc wheat provinces several times, lanched with others of our people at the broad statement that Canada was bound to become "John Bull's bread-basket." Now. after a last trip (and though he Is a staunch American) he frankly believes that not only will Canada become John Bull's bread-basket, but It will within the next decade at least BECOME THE BREAD-BASKET OV THE UNITfcu STATES. Terhaps this may be a.'hard truth for Americans to swallow, but It is a truth nevertheless. And it i3 at least a partial compensation to know that hundreds of thou sands of our farmers are profiting by the fact by becoming producers In this new country. The paiers of this country have naturally made the most of the brief period of depression which swept over Canada, but cow there is not a sign of It left from Winnipeg to the coast. Never have the three great wheat raising provinces been more prosperous. Capital Is coming into the country from all quarters, taking the form of cash for investment. Industrial concerns seeking locations, and. best of, all, sule stantlal and sturdy immigrants com to liclp populate the prairies. Towns are booming; scores of new elevators are springing up; railroads are sending out their branch lines in all directions; thousands of prospermia farmers are leaving their prairie shelters for new and modern homes "bu'lt by wheat"; everywhere Is a growing happiness and contentment h.-ippiucs and contentn:e ;t built by whe.it tlu Ioi!ar vhe:;t," which h..s c i:he to stay.

A Meriou Movement. As I have never seen In print any reference to a mysterious movement and retreat from Oirand Junction, I will give an account of a movement I have never been able to fathom. The Fighting 4th. Hurlhut's Division, was encamped at Bolivar, Tenn., with Roserrn, with part of his Army of the Tennessee at Corinth and the 16th Corps scattered from Memphis to Jackson. I remember we received orders to mi roh. we knew not where, but supposed to form a junction with Iioseerans. possibly on the Cold Water. At nil events we moved at early dawn, taklncr everything with us, wagontrains, fully equipped, and as we filed out pat the camps of the other brigades r.f our famous division, they saw thnt our brigade, the 3d. was the only one moving. With very little delay we left Bolivar in the rear nnd wended our way to the South and on the Grand Junction road. It was a mild flay In September, 1SP.2. nd our movement seemed to tis of importance. We had .a camp and garrison equipage, and If we were not going to form the Junction with Itosey at" Cold Water, as was first expected, we must bo going to join him at Corinth. At all events, the meager numbers, so heavily equipped, caused a great deal of speculation. But speculation soon gave way to actual work, and we marched on. leaving La V, range to the west, and when night came we bivouacked by the roadside, within six miles of Grand Junction. An early breakfast and on we went, until orders to halt and load were passed along the line ; next to tear down the fences. Some of the 2d Illinois. rfn were with the expedition, had rough! word to Lanman that the ne-v.y was in force near the Junction and he h:id be? It t awaj. to tno 1(ft ward Bolivar. This was done with a will, for we realized that we were nbout to be fl.inkwl.anrl If we woulu save ourselves from the clutches of old Price. Van Horn and Villiplgue, we must hustle. The brigade immediately ntKiut-Taccd. flankers were thrown out nnd we were ordered from quick time to that of double quick, and n general run was the final order. To this we found no end until Wolf Creek wnt reached. The wngon train was terrlhlv In the way. Water wns nnt of th cwtlon. for the natives seemeii tn fni. Iy understand the plight we were in and had rc-moved the well buckets, and, to complete the dostm.'tion nrrthin. loose was. by us. thrown Info the wells. and. upon reaching Woif River, we forme! a line of battle masklnir n sec tion of artillery covering the road. Here details of men were sent to the stream with our canteens, and while the teams were crossing we lav in wait. We had not much time to lose, only enough to get our breath, when t.le I.eel cavalry came dashing along. And such a reception! I never learned how many of them hit the dust, but my regiment neing In Funnort. nnd on the right of the road. I could distinctly ue..r me commands of the Rebel officers, and know that our line was soon covered, or where our line had been. du., in the meantime, our wagon, nnd the old reliable 2vth Illinois, bringing up the rear. laugher at the diseomfittcd Johnnies forming their lines nnd getting left. On to cry, and if you ever saw a hungry, tired r.r:d thirsty brigade, that one was the r,d Brigade. 4th Division. Mth Corps. The report reached Bolivar tint we were captured, and when. Instead, we marched in by our comrades, such n welcome I have rover witnessed bofore nor since. The Kith Illinois bovs fairly rushed to our ra.iks and shook us by the hand. We we.-e saved, and not long after the division made a more husiiii?s-iiko maneuver, and after Trice and his gang were whipped and driven from Corinth. hr fell Into our hands on the Hatchie River nnd got a second thrashing !n almost the same twenty-four hours, in other words, we cut off his retreat nnd ent his scattered forces up the river to find a crossing and escape. Gen. Ord was In command, but was wounded, and our old commander assumed command, and to his memory is due the success of a second time routing the defeated Rebels. Christian Stolt in American Tribune.

The l.nnt C barge of the War. From a posthumous paper by Gen. Sheridan In the North American Review, we make the following interesting extract: Beyond us, in a low valley (near Appomattox Court House, after my flank movement), lay Lee and the remnant of his jarmy. There did not appear to be much organization, except In the advanced troops under General Gordon, whom we had been fighting, and a rear guard under General Longstreet still further up the valley. Formations were Immediately begun to make a bold and sweeping charge down the grassy lopo. when an nid-de-camp from Custer, filled with excitement hat In hand, dashed tip to me with the message from Ids chief: "Lee has surrendered. lo not charge; the white flag Is up!" Orders were given to complete the formation, but not to charge. Looking to the left, to Appomattox Court Houe. a large group was seen near by the lines of Confederate troops that had fallen hru-k to that point. Genera Custer had not come back. and. supposing that he was with the group at the courthouse. I moved on n gallop down the narrow rlde. followed "by rcy staff. The courthouse was. perhaps, three-fou rt li of a mile distant. We had not gone f;ir before a heavy fire was opened on us from a skirt of timber to our ri'ht. and distant not imn !i over .".no yards. halted for a moment end. taking off my hnt. culled .ut th-it i!ie Hag was being violate!, but could liol stop the f 5 1 1 n ir. which caused us to take sii Iter in a ravine ruiuii-.ig par.il-h-l to j lie bridge v.e wer- mi, and bwn which we tlieu trave!cl. As we ap-pro.o-;.si i'ii courthouse a gentle ascent had lo f " mad I w is in advance, foil. iwed by a st rgeant arryii g my battle flag. Within 10 yards from the eonriliouse and Confederate Iii!- sone. ,,f the ii'cti in their ranks brought llieir z-vy to a 'mi on u. and RiiVit eil'urt wis ji :i by their ulliceis to keep ihi'in In-m firing. I balled. f.nd. hearing some noise b, hind, tmied In th sad. He and saw a ( 'lufth-rate soY.ior ;:tte;ii)ui!g to take my battle flag from the i.!or bearer. This t'i.' sergeant bad no idea f submitting to, and had drawn hi.s saure to cut the man

down. A word from me caused him to return his sabre and take the flag back t the staff officers, who were some little distance behind. T remained stationary nfter these events; then. calling a Ftaff" oKi-er, directed him to go over to the gnup of Confederate nflicers r.v.d demand what suh conduct meant. Kind apologies were made, ami v.e advrr.ced. The superior officers met were Genoral J. B. Gordon and General Cadmus M. Wilcox, the latter an old army flicer. As soon as the first- greeting was over, a furious firing began in front of our own cavalry, from whon we had only a few minutes before separated. General Gordon seemed to be somewhat disconcerted by lt. I re marked to him. "General Gordon, join men fired on me as I was coming ovet here, 'an.l undoubtedly they have donf the same to Merrltt's and Custer's -om mands. We might just as well le them have It out." To this propositior General Gordon did nor accede. I ther ftsked. "Why not send a stafi" ofiVer ani1 hare j-our people eoase firing? The.1 are violating the flag!" He slid. "I have no staff officer to send." ji re plied. "I will let you have one of mine. and railing for Lieutenant Yanderhiit Allen, he was directed to report to (Jen ernl Gordon an! -arry Iiis onlers. Tlu orders were to go to General Gearj who wis In command of a small brigade of South Carolina cavalry, aid ask him to discontinue the firing. Lieu tenant Allen dashed off with the ms sage, but on delivering It to General Geary was taken prisoner, with the remark from that officer that he did not care for white flags; that South Carolinians never surrendered. It was about this time that Merritt. getting Impatient at the supiofied treacherous firit.,;. ordered a charge of a portion of his command. While Generals Gordon and Wilcox were engaged in conversation with me a el mid of lust, a will hurrah, a flashing of sabres, indicated a charge, and the ejaculations of my staff officers were heard : "Look, Merritt lias ordered a charge!" The flight of Geary's brigade followed; Lieutenant Allen was thus released. The last gun had been fired and the last charge made in the Virginia campaign.

A Story of I.r-r. Illustrating this, the speaker' said that he had a piece of historj' from the lips of a good woman In Richmond whom some of the consregatlon before him loubtless knew. It was this: After the war General Lee paid a visit to Fredericksburg, the scene of one of tho most terrible of bis battles, a battle which lasted three days and iu which thousands of men were slaughtered. A reception was tendered him during his visit, and during the course of the reception he fouud himself in a bevy of young ladio. He did not know anj- of them. "What Is j-our name?" he asked one of them. She replied. "Where Is your home?" he next inquired. "I live in Chatham," she anwered. Chatham Is a splendid old place, overlooking the Rappahannock River, where Burnside's forces were stretched out, with Lee across the river ou Marye's Height, a mile away. "You live at Chatham," said the great chieftain, his voice changing, and the girl answered "j-cs." "Is the old oak still standing in the front yard?" asked General Lee. "Why. yes," she replied. "I have played under it since I was a baby." "It was under that oak," said General Lee, "that I courted my wife." And then, as If he was recalling one of the deepest things in life, paused, and after a time continued: "When the battle of Fredericksburg was at its height, standing on Marye's Height, it occurred to me that possibly I could get a glimpse of that oM oak. nnd I trained my glasses upon it. And after n while, when the smoke parted. I did catch a glimpse of the uplKT branches, and" and here, with ' finite tenderness In his voice and tears in his eyes, he turned from the group of girls "and It strengthened me for my day's work. "There." said Dr. Marshall, "was a warrior !n the crisis of a great battle, but deeper, deeper in his nature than the warrior was the lover, and it was typical of him and tjpical of the proud people whom he represented." Report of n Sermon In Charleston News and Courier. Soldler Joke. An hpplicant for a pension says he was wounded in forty-seven places during the war. which reminds us of a story : An ex-soldier, remarkable rather for his rattling volubility than for downright common sense, was exhibiting a series of war maps. Turning to one, he said: "That's where I was wounded In my side. Then he showed on another map where he lost his little finger. "And here." he added, referring to a third, "is where I lost all my traps." "I s-say. Blufkins." broke In the other, who was a vletlm of the stuttering habit. "I s-say.

You rm't strain filth out of milk. A wise hog goes in a drove by itself. Moldy corn is Lingenaus fc-' for the torses. Intensive methods are needed in the lalry as well as in other lines of farmng. Alfalfa Is as good for the hogs as for the cows. Try for a s.and f alfalfa this year. f Feed the hens all the skim milk they .Till us". They will help swell the profits from the dairy.

No kind of feeding pays in "lie rase of the jmict cow. Concrete construction on the farm S receiving more and more attention. Strength and i-ermanence in anything juilt on the farm is r. move for econ5my. One farmer who started with a cement trough for his pigs has extended the use of cement to the building of a Silo. harn. and the next thing will be t cement house. Look carefully after the cows that ire t calve this spring. iWt let the bright warm days that we get oeeallonally delude you Into thinking that there is no longer need of shelter and rare. Before sheep are admitted to the fattening pen they should to carefully examined by an experienced irs.m. and if any evidence of skin disease or vermin is found they should be dipped thoroughly. Just ne bare fact ought to ho necesiiary to prove to Cie person of oi.cn mliid that it pays to keep the lions icsts clean and in good order. Watch & lien cluck nice things when she beholds a freshly strawed nest. The best dairy barns are long, with low ceilings. Ventilation Is enhan.-ed If the ceilings are low. To keep the table free from flies at milking time burlap curtains should le hung In the windows and the window should be .ilcntlful. Some time ago Ohio established a local agricultural school as an experiment In a certain section of the state. It ha? proved a splendid success. Ohio farmers are all stirred up over It, and It Is paid that fifteen counties have made applications for such schools. A writer recently gave the following method of Retting rid of quackgrass: "Plow the ground In the fall and bow rye; the rye aud quack-grass will come up together and look nearly alike; then sell the land." This sound like the advice formcly sold nt $1 per. Some people Faid when the phone was lntrcaluccd tout neighborhood gatherings of two or three families or more would te discouraged. This result has not been alarming. On the other hand "dates" f jt such gatherings can be so conveniently and shortly arranged that "at honvrs" are more common than ever. If your hired man happens to ask for a raise In wage don't vnub him off by telling him that he ought to be mighty well satisfied to get what he is petting and that If he were working In Italy, for example, he would have to be satisfied with $3 or $4 a month, perhaps. That is Just the kind of logic that makes goofi men tired of working out. There are several kinds of mean men to be dealt with, but the man stands pretty high in the list who will try all kinds of dodges and will lie or even rommit perjury in order to keep from paying taxes rn all his property, then romplains because the county does not furnish god bridges and roads for him to travel on. The German proverb that the manure pile 1 the farmer's bank, depends for Iti truth a good deal upon the way tho banking Is done. Such banks don's pay interest if every rain Is allowed t.- wash sway the best part af the manure. The surest way to get full value for all the manure made on the farm is to get It out on the land as socn as possible. This idea of figuring and figuring to find how many bushels of corn you can raise to the acre if you can get each hill to ylvld so many ears is foolish beyonl description. Give your eed the rigid care, give it the right preparation, plant properly, and when the time Comes to harvest the crop you can go out and count the number of ears to the hill and save all the figuring. The moMhoanl plow must be recommended as able t do the best work In nil places where the moisture conditions are favrahl. In nearly all Irrigated ami humid sections, arid often in dry furni!g s-etions. this fj-pe f plow Is nweh letter than l!i lisk. Tin disu plow is capable nf handling grotird that has be-ome too lrj and hard for the moldboard plow.

In consein;neo of the outbreak . the potato Iisease in tho nineteenth century, botanists 'have fT years heevi seeking the original will species cf this most ii.eful p!;;nt. in order that, by crossing it with 'he cultivated forma, fresh vigor might be infused ln-

to the latter. The search h:is extended over Chili. Peru, and other parts of America, but until r.Keut!j' no success bis been promised. Mr. Sutton, of Reading. I'ngland. the well known seedsman, in whose experimental gardens a great variety of these plants has beep, tried, has new fixed upon a wild spiu-lcs, the Solanum etubcrosuir-. whi h has been growing In his gird'-n for twenty jears. as being the origin&l wild species, from which much may he hoped. The Solanum etuberosum for twenty years has entirely defied the potato disease, and its offspring Is hlentlcal with the eonnnercial potato.

MVtd Scel in llunurr. Prof. Oswald, of tho Maryland station has undertaken to obtain more definite information on the vitality of weed seed in manure by studying t'je ffect of the fermentation of manure handled in different ways and of paasIng through the ligestive s.vs terns of various animals on tho vitality of various weed seeds, including seeds of about fo of the worst weeds. In experiments in which th? manure remained for six months in a barnyard heap and for a short while ia piles, ni when shipped in car load lots from cities, it was found that Iii the first case there was no danger and in th second case little langer of distributing live weed seeds. In tho experiments In xrhJch thV weed K-eds were frsl to yearling steern and the manure handled in various ways, it was found that where the manure was hauled directly from the stable as a top dressing, an average of only 12.X per cent of the seeds fed to animals germinated; where manure was haulel direetely from the stable upon the land and plowed under, 2.3 per cent of the seeds fed to animals came up; where the droppings remain1 on the pasture fields unadulterated as they folk an average of only 3.1 per cent of the seds fed to animals germinated. The result Indicated that In general it is safe to assume that the vitality :f wocil see-Is Is lestrojed In well rott"l manure. !ut that many pass unharmed through the digestive tracts cf animals, and may be carried to the land if the manure Is not well rotted before use.

Kfforts are being made by the State Live StM-k Sanitary Board and the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty t Animals to exterminato an epidemic of mange which has broken out among horses in Phlldeiphfa. The disease, according to Dr. Horace Hoskins of the state board, has been brought to Philadelphia through horse Importation from the West. The trouble began at least six month ago, when preventive measures were taken, but vigilance has since relaxed. md there are now approximately l.."ifO horses under quarantine and tho diaso Is spreading rapidly. The disease Is not confined to horses alone, according to Col. F. R. Rutherford, secretary of the Pennsylvania Society f;-r the Prevention of Cruelty to AnJma'.. Owing to Its very contagius lature. he claims. It has Infected drivers and stablemen with an un usual Pkln iisease which causes the cuticle to come off In large quantities, leaving the hands, face and neck very sore nr.i tender.

State inspectors supervise the work, and veterinary surgeons are requested to report all cases where these regulations have not been complied with. Clipping horses is said to be a preventive of the disease. Yunnff Fanirri. Husbandry has assumed an Import a nee fever before accorded to it dur ing the past quarter of a century. The agricultural lands of Europe are fully develofied and there Is an annual short age of production as compared with in creased consumption as represented in the growth of population. England Is annually drawing larger supplies from the ITifted States, Australia, Argentina and India to support her population. Vast xforks of Irrigation are being con structed on the Kile and in India to Increase agricultural production for the maintenance of the native population and frr fiome consumption. Iand cultivation is annually engross ing Increased attention, and agriculture from 1 life of primitive drudgery has advanced to a dignified profession. The young farmer who Is a land owner Is now n man of importance in national afTalpf. He Is a producer whose com moditles are Indispensable to the wel fare of society. If the farmer would limit production to his Individual ncee.ütle for only one j-ear. famine anl anarchy would triumph over mod ern civilization.
