May it not be possible that a wise and merciful Providence so ordered abundant crops throughout the world for just such a time as this— who can tell? A notable and anomalous state of affairs was experienced in the Baltimore market during the month of August, 1S94, when for some two or three weeks, the price of Wheat, Rye, Corn and Oats, were all selling within the same limits — viz : between 50 and 60 cts. per bushel. Prior to the great inventions and improvements in farming machinery, so mater...ially reducing the cost of produc- tion, wheat was the great factor as a sort of basis of trade, when the normal price was $1.00 to Si. 2 5 per bushel, and in re- lative proportion Rye was 65 to 75 cts., Corn 35 to 45 cts , and Oats 25 to 30 cts. A great question now occupying a prominent place in the minds of many wise heads is : In what other ways can wheat be employed ? Experiments have been made in order to make this discovery. In France they have found feeding horses on bread very profitable and a simular result has been realized in in this country in feeding wheat to stock.
