REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. The rainfall of the past week has been accompanied by a low temperature, and even the sunshine of Saturday was not characterised by the saiu: Wllmth which was felt at the beginning of April. The growth of vegetation therefore is not rapid for the tln'e of year, and so far as can yet be predicted we shall once more have a late harvest both for winter and for spring corn. English wheat has now retrograded to the price of 1890 a year of disastrous depression which we were all hoping to forget. The present extreme cheapness of English wheat is somewhat difficult to account for, because there has never been an excessive supply. Even in November, which is what the Americans would call the banner month in the way of home supplies, the deliveries did not attain a million qrs. while fur April they were under half a million. Perhaps the chief cause of the depression is to be found in the penetration of American flour into the country districts. This trade has developed on the side of distribution in a very surprising manner, and American flour to day is no more a rarity in the towns of central Leicestershire or rural Dorset than it is at Mark Lane itself. The sales of English wheat since harvest are estimated at 5,038.347 qrs. and the qutnfcity remain- ing for sale on May 1st is reckoned to have stood at 2,961,653 qrs. If the growing wheat comes on rapidly during the next two months farmers might be tempted to sell pretty well out, and in that case weekly deliveries might rise to 170,000 qrs. against from 100,000 qrs. to 150,000 qrs. only during April. On the other hand we probably have twenty weeks instead of seventeen between us and new crop deliveries, while at the present low price the inducement is to hold and not to sell. It is there- fore by no means impossible that deliveries from this date will not exceed 100,000 qrs. weekly, though personally we look to see from 125,000 qrs. tj 150,000 qrs. delivered dur- ing May and early June, and less than 100,000 qrs., per- haps only 75,000 qrs. weekly, sold during July and August. The fall on the imperial wheat average for April, 31s. 9d., is Is. Id. from that for March, which was 32s. lOd. It is a curious fact that we have to go back to 1862 for another instance of a shilling fall in April. In that year value fell Is. 3d., but then it had previously been very high, 59s. 2d. having been the mean for March. Even in such years of cheapness as 1890, 1886, and 1885, April values were a little better than those of March, and in 1889, 1888, and 1887 prices were stationary. May in 1889 brought a decline, but an advance in the other two cases. Of the last seven years five show that May prices have been an t improvement on those of April. Let us hope that this tendency may again be mani- fested. The sales of foreign wheat during March and April were very small, but this has not been the result of abso- lute abstenticn on the part of millers so much as on their being tempted to lay in American flour, of which, since Marca 1st, it is reckoned the enormous quantity of 1,500,000 sacks has been sold. The price taken on Friday for American spring patents at Mark Lane was 27s. per sack, while first bakers' flour was quoted as low as 23s. 6d per sack. It is not surprising to hear that the American mills are doing badly, and th,t at the next half-yearly declarations of dividends tnere are likely in several cases to be no dividends to declare. The total sales of foreign wheat and flour in the United Kingdom since harvest are put at 14,734,852 qrs., which is equal to about 433,000 qrs. weekly. Farmer's sales have been abiut 150,000 qrs. weekly, making the total average weekly supply 583,000 qrs., against 525,000 required. These figures would lead us to put the reserves of wheat and flour at 2,030,000 qrs. above an average, and, as a matter of fact, this is about the extra burden which the present season is known to be carrying. -Mark Lane Express.
BREEDING FARM AND CART HORSES.
BREEDING FARM AND CART HORSES. At this season of the year many farmers and others are asking themselves the question Shall I, or shall I not, breed ? There can be no doubt that the answer should be Yes in the majority of cases, even if for their own requirements only. Whether the number of horses kept be large or small, they want replacing at some time or other, and in some cases very often, so that it ought to be pretty clear that the must satisfactory way of keeping up the team or teams is to breed for that purpose. In the first place, it is much cheaper than having to buy horses at three and four years old which are still making a long price, and in the secoud place there is the advantage of knowing the animals from their birth, of becoming thoroughly acquainted with them in all respects, of breaking them in to one's own liking, and thus escaping, as it were, all the risks run in buying, which are not a few, particularly to those who are inexperienced in these matters. Again, on most farms, whether large or small, breeding interferes but little with the general work of the seasons, so that, apart from the advantages mentioned, it must pay better to breed one's own than to bay, although, of course, success does not always attend one's efforts. Where properly managed, however, and there is sufficient convenience, there is not much to fear. There are some people who have objections to breeding, and in not a few cases frivolous objections. They have experienced failures which may have been entirely due to mismanagement or want of care in some way. For instance, it was common, and is now unfortunately, for unqualified persons to undertake castration, an operation they are no more capable of performing in a proper and successful manner than they are of removing a tumour from the human body. That any one should risk the life oi a vaiuaoie coit in tnis way when there are properly- qualified persons in almost all districtsis surprising. The charge is an inconsiderable item, nd there are but few cases of failure when an experienced man does the work. It is also necessary that close observation should be kept on mares at the time of foaling, and if anything does not appear right at the critical time the proper aid should be called in. However, there is not much to fear in this respect troublesome cases are not very frequent. It is best, where possible, that the man used to the mares should attend them at foaling time, as they do not like Strangers at all, and, in fuct, would hunt them savagely out of the box or stable in some cases for a few days but they do not attempt this so much with men they are well used to. Care should also be taken of mares, as the foaling time draws near, with regard to work. Although a certain amount of work and exercise is necessary and beneficial to them, no violent pulls or twisting with loads snould be allowed. As there are now numbers of reallv good entire horses in almost every locality, whose services can be had at moderate terma, one may with confidence advise breeding to a certain extent according to circun,stiiacee. -Farm and Home.

CLEANLINESS.—"Cleanliness is next to godliness." This thought we mflY well apply to our stables and cow- houses as to our own dwellings to the care of the cattle- whose flesh and milk Wd consume—as to personal care. We may just as well take filth at first hand as allow it to pass through our domestic animals and take it in the form of milk, beef jr pork. Both the milk and the flesh must partake of the quality of food given to a far greater extent than is usually supposed. It is well known that the milk will often indicate the kind of food fed to the cow. If so, is it strange that the flesh of the same cow- made from the food eaten-will be pure or impure accord- ing to the food supulied ? It is folly to expect pure and wholesome milk while the cow is fed on inferior hay and decaying vegetables, allowed to drink from a well within the limits of the barnyard, supplied from the surface water of that yard, saturated witlathe filth of such a place. The water given to the cows should be as pure as that used in the family, and such water is not found in such a well. If we would he healtiy and pure, we must breath pure air and eat pure food, which will equally apply to the domestic animals. All of these principles apply to man and beast alike.-Farni and Home.
