OCTOBER 13. 1897. ree WoORLD's WHEAT CROP,
em
kt Will Kun Up te Abou: six Hundred Million Bushels,
Jue ‘rade estimates of the 1897 wheat Crop- tay be said to range from 575 to 60 on beshels. The October report of ih Americas Agriculturist claimed 589 wiiiive bishels, and Thomar’s Uctober repo», based on full returns from the Lhe , indicated 580 muiliion bushels.
Leas \:or’s harvest, as reported by the Deva. t vent of Agriculture, was 427,684, - 340 bu-nels, and with the exception of the Yielt of 1391 (611,780,000 bushels), the curren! crop is the Jargest vet harvested.
The r-gular October report of the Am- eric sn Agriculturist places the 1897 crop of wheat at 589,000.00 bushele trom an acera -e of 39,167,000 acres, compared with an |= crop of 470 millions froin 37,156,- O00 ares. County estimates to this &utbori:y iodicate a rate of yield for winter wheat of 15,6 bushels, aod for spring whe: t.41 bushels. Appiying this to the acreuy~, resulting crop in winter wheat is 3733 m Ilions, and the spring wheat crop 2154 miilions. The report says the winter
wheat crop is deficient in but two States—L!lionis and portions of Mis souri—and that in every other Siate
the rave of yield is above the average for @ lovg series of years, and in many of them represents the full capacity ot the coil. The total wheat crop is, with one excep‘ion, the largest ever grown. The corn cropof 1897 1s a dissapointment, with a further and serious deciine in con- dition the past month, the general average fallin: to 78.9,againet 823 in September. It is +xfe to assume that a total of 1,750 million bushele will represent the ontside measure of the crop. Owing to drought in the Central and Western States, drafts have beguo upon the new crop for farm use (vo months earlier than usual, and thi- ix being subjected to heavy demands for teediag purposes, a condition which further shortens the supply.
Tho.nan’s report for October, based on full retaros from the thresher, makes the tora! vield of wheat, approximately, 530,000,000 bushels, as against 435 million busueis harvested last year. Of this total the proportion of winter wheaiis 379 million bushels, as against 270 million, aod of spring wheat 20! wiliion bushels, as agn nst 165 million bushels harvested tLe previous year. The area from which this crop was gathered equalled 38,473,000 acre-, divided into 23,930,000 acres of wintes, aod 14,543,000 screa of spring | wheat. The average yield per acre for the whole breadth is 15.1 bushels; of winter, 14.5, «nd of spring, 13 8 bushels.
The six principal winter wheat States protneed 188,000,000 burhels, as against 136, (00,000 bushels last year on 12,014,000 acre-—showing an average yield per acre of 156 bushels. The three principal spring wheat States produced 143,000,000 bushels, as against 123,000,600 bushels

Calenlating upon the basis of a 580,000, (00 bushel crop, the total supply for 1897 28, that is, from last July to June 39,1898,
| approximates 640,000,000 bushels. Home requirements for bread and seed wil! pro- bably not exceed 365,900,000 bushels during the vear, and. should domestic
stocks next July equal 60,900,000 bushels, the same as wascarried over this year, the exporiab'e surplus would reac 250,000,000 bushels, or in the neighborhood of 65,000, 000 bushels more than was exported daring the preceding twelve months,
THEY CAN RETALIATE, The United states Newspapers Are Making More Threats Against Canada.
Burra.o, October 8.—A special des- patch froni Washingtoa to the Evening News, regarding Great Britain’s refusal to participate in the Behring Sea conference at Washington, contains the [f Great Britain persistently refuses two come tO ADY agreement on the fealipg con- troversy it is highly probable that tue re- taliatory measures against Canada will be recommended to Congress, for unless the Mother Country pledges herself to assist the United States in protecting fur seals, there is no other course which w)!] pre- vent the Canadian tishermea in the Beb- ring sea trom continuing their merciless slaughter. Great Britain contends that the proposed conference was to consider the seal question on tue basis of the regula- tions adopted by the Paris tribunal, aod that Russia and Japan cannot be parties to it. Providing two conferences are arranged, it will be more feasible to have that in which the United States, Japan and Russia The United States can theo carry the conclusions with Great Britain and a-k her participation. It Grea’
followtog :
Britain then declines to pledge her- self to assist in protecting the
seal herds, the United States will have two nations assisting ber, and by adopting retaliatory measures can comyel Canada to respect her wishes. It should be re- membered that the most accessible path to Klondyke country for Canadians is through American territory, which can be closed against them at aay time. Con- gress can evact legislation this winter which will cripple Canadian commerce to & Serious degree, and in the end Great Britain might seriously regret that she had not been the first t» stand for seal protection,

‘ Of all the Bereavements which are possi-
. le to a home, the loss of a child is perhaps the most disappointing, and the hardest to bear. During the heated spell in the summer in New York City as many as a thou-
died in a week. Of course, in a crowded city, with its. unsani- } tary districts, many of these deaths would have occurred any way. The fact remains that this tremendous mortality was to a great extent due to the lack of inherent resisting power in the victims, These babies when born had in their bodies the seeds of disease. The deadly heated term only shortened the period of their sufferings.
If a woman wishes her babies to be healthy and strong and able to resist the usual ailments of childhood, she must take proper care of herself in a womanly way
uring the period of gestation. A woman who suffers from weakriess and disease of the organs distinctly feminine is unfitted for wifehood and motherhood. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a wonderful med- icine for ailing women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs con- cerned. It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration seothes pain, stops exhausting drains and gives rest and tone to the tortured nerves. Thousands of women have testified to its almost miraculous merits. Many of them have permitted their names, addresses, experiences and photographs tc be repro- duced in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Med- ical Adviser. This great book used to sell for $1.50, now it is lutely free. It tells all about the home-treatment of ordinary diseases. It contains 1008 pages, and over 300 illustrations. Several chapters are de- voted to the diseases of women. Fora pa- per-covered copy send 3 one-cent stamps, to cover cost of customs and mailin only, to the World’s Dispensary Medic Association, Buffalo, N. ¥Y.; Cloth bindin 50 cents. ‘Favorite Prescription” is so y all druggists.
