"Yes," said the senator, " she is sun ning the airship and I guess she will bo able to keep it pretty close to earth ?

Probabilities of the Outcome of a Very Interesting Season. The Wheat season starts with small er reserves even than In the famous year 1S97, wheu low supplies of old wheat, followed by a SO per cent short age in the European crop and a 100,000,000 bushel Increase In our owu, had some remarkable financial results. This means n sure and quick market for the new crop. It is Impossible as yet to estimate tlie probable foreign wheat harvest of 1900: latest advices iudlcate that, while the crop In France, England and Bussln will be sufficient, Germany and the Danube stales have fared badly, so that the total European crop will hardly match the abundant yield of 1003 and 1000. The obvious meaning of stich a situation Is that Europe must have such <?f our wheat surplus as the American market can spare and must pay fair prices for it. Had the winter wheat estimate of ; Aug. 14 confirmed the 4W.000.000 bushel prediction current a few weeks before, instead of raising the calcula tion to 432,000,000, and had the spring wheat promise been in any way serl- j OUSly Impaired the country would scarcely have escaped a later repeti tion of the Chicago speculation of last May and our export trade would have been greatly restricted. But 82,000,000 extra bushels make a considerable dif ference. It still remains to see what happens to our spring wheat crop and to for eign crops in the two remaining months. Hut its matters stand, how ever, there are several reasonable In ferences: First, the American farmer will sell an abundant wheat crop at highly remunerative prices; second, those prices are not likely to go again to the "famine figure," which will impose hardship on consumers; third, the railways will have the average amount of wheat to transport to market; fourth, our export of wheat and Hour, ?which In the past twelve months was cut down G0.000.000 bushels from ihe year before and 31,000,000 from two years ago. should bo Increased by twenty-live to forty millions, thereby helping our market for International exchange and at the same time easing the strain on Europe's wheat trade. WORTH REMEMBERING. Saddle grafting is u??ed for smalt plants, the stock being cut to a wedge and the scions cut and set upon the wedge. In splice grafting of the sim plest form the two parts are cut across diagonally and laid together, being tied together with a string and waxed. It is useful for soft or lender wood which will not admit of splitting. By separating the roosters from the hens after the breeding season their vitality as breeders will be strength ened. If kerosene Is nibbed lightly on their feathers they will not light and will soon become acquainted with each ot her. A horse that will walk steadily five miles an hour will cover the same ground in a day with much less fa tigue than one that trots half the time. We do not sufficiently appreciate the value and capability of good, fast walk ers. Land burned over almost always comes up with an inferior growth, BUCh as gray birch, wild cherry and BOft maple. Such hind offers the most bopeftd chances for cheap Improve ment through seetllng or planting pieces and cutting the other trees In a few years. An odor will be observed In the milk If silage is fed to cows a short time before milking, but If given shortly after milking the silage smell cannot be detected. It will mean a loss to the farmer to hnve the cow afraid of him. It is a loss every time she is frightened. To run a cow to pasture is like throwing money away. A cow in any way wor ried will not do her best. The COW that Is made a pet of will make money for Its owner. The milk of a fright ened or abused cow Is poisonous. Pay an occasional friendly visit to the little trees set this spring. Rub off unnecessary sprouts and make sure that no label wires have been left on the trees to choke them. Nearly every farmer has more or less tillage land that Is too sour for best i crop production, lie would try the ef fect of lime on an acre or two if be knew that the specially prepared form of lime fan be spread easily on html without any disagreeable effects on the user or any troublesome preparation of tho material. A good horse ami wagon, neat clothes, clean packages and polite manners nat urally go with a choice retail trade in farm products. Millions of Onions. Fourteen million bushels of onion" were raised in the United Slates last year, and so great was the demand that 1,400,000 bushels more were imported from Spain, Egypt, Bermuda ami the south eon Islands. The value of America's crop was $10,000.000, and the department of agriculture believes that of 1909 Should be worth twice as much. It has Just Issued a bulletin on the subject as a gentle reminder to the average farmer ami truck grower that they are overlooking the onion ns If any one could do such a thimr. For many centuries this VCgctnbb thrived only In the valleyr and low lands, but improved agricultural meth ods hnve made It possible to rftlSO It with profit on (ho hilltops. The Ber muda variety Is being grown with tremendous success In all of the south ern states, especially along the gulf coast. Each succeeding year brings new ideas ns to marketing, and tho danger of having the fruit rot In iranslt Is fast becoming a thing of tho past.
