The American grain trade is Just beginning to realize that Europe in practically barren ot all coarse grain supplies and is willing to pay whatever price is necessary to sup ply the want. Unprecedented sales of new corn, which this year is of excep tionally good quality And almost equal to old corn for all purposes, is one of the signs on the commercial barometer. Sales within two days of more than 2,000,000 bushels of barloy malt, at th a point atono, to say nothing ot sales at other centers, is another significant pointer.

Tfho recent act of tho Interior Department of tno United States In setting aside $1,000,- 000 toward reclaiming three or four hundred thousand acres in the Milk Uivcr Valley is but a beginning of a much vaster development of this sec tion as tho needs grow npaco. Al ready the agricultural worth of this to bo famous valley bas been ade quately demonstrated in the results which havo followed tho Irrigation works already established. It has been successfully proven that all kinds of agricultural products grow in great abundance wherever Irrigation Is used. Tho soil Is naturally rich nnd needs only moisture to make It yield prolific- ally. The Great Northern Railway's main line practically cuts the valley In two. The fact that the government has decided to begin Immediate oper ations will prove n great incentive to the people of that section who have always believed in the future of their country nnd will open to settlement a vast area of rich land to the home seeker nnd Investor. Professor Elwood Mead, tho irriga tion expert of the United States De partment of Agriculture, haB borne en thusiastic testimony to the great capa bilities of the Sacramento Volley when supplied with water, In canals and ditches, for irrigation. He says, in an official report, that its available water supply should make It "the Egypt or the Western hemisphere." The irrigable area of the valley is estimated to be more than 3,000,000 acres, nnd calculations show that the average annual discharge of the Sac ramento River nt its moutn is sum- clent to, Irrigate every acre or uns great area. Professor Mead, after re marking that It is a sinful waste to allow so much water to flow unusea to the Bea, save for purposes of navi gation, thus Illustrates the astonish ing variety of the products of tno soli: Within a radius of five miles -In the Sacramento Valley I saw every product of the temperate and semi- tropical zones which I could can to mind. Apples and oranges grew side by side, as did oak and almond trees. There were olives from the South and cherries from the North. A date palm, seemed equally at home 'with nn alfal fa meadow; figs and Tokay grapes were apparently as much In their ele ment as the fields of wheat or hariey or the rows of Indian corn, some of the stalks of which measured fifteen feet In height All of these could have been grown on a single acre, and doubtless have been." In another report the Bame authori ty expresses a like view, as ronows: In September last I saw a part or the Sacramento Valley in its most un lovely aspect One of the trips taken was from Chico to Willows, two towns about thirty miles apart, but the road thirty-five miles shrdlu cmfwyp shrd traveled made tho distance about thirty-five miles. We crossed what Is potentially one of the most fertile and promising agricultural districts on this continent For scores or miles tne land rises by a gentle nnd uniform slope from the Sacramento River to ward the foothills on either side. Wa ter would flow over every acre of tho country traversed without requiring much labor In Its direction or skill in the location of lateral ditches. The plains of Lombardy are not better Bult- ed to Irrigation, nor the sou or tne xiln Delta more fertile than were these lands originally. For a half century they have been devoted to the unremitting production of - cereal . . i i. .. crops, linen season me crop uu uceu harvested, the grain shipped away, and the straw burned, nnd nothing done to replace the plnnt food with drawn. A more exhaustive form of agriculture ennnot be Imagined. Al though this surprising drain has gone on for fifty years, It ennnot continue forever. The absence of rainfall during the hnrvest period Is one of the great ad vantages of California, where the needed moisture can be supplied by irrigation. It Is likewise one of the greatest obstacles to dlversmed agri culture whero dependence is uau on rainfall alone. The natural opportu nities of the district traversed are equal to, if not greater than those of tho country surrounding itiversiae, Cnl. which has been appropriately rtooi'tmnted as the "Garden Snot of America," but a difference in agricul tural ideas has produced a correspond ing difference in conditions. The bonanza wheat farm and tho bonanza orchard were in accord with tho spirit which from tho first has dominated the industries of Califor nia. It is a Stato of vast enterprises. Men pride themselves on great under takings and doing whatever thoy un dertake on n largo scale. Wheat can be grown in this way. The man with capacity for organization can look after tho growing of 10,000 acres of wheat, as easily ns ten acres. It is an industry freed from detail. Thero is a period of seed time and horvest, and long intervals or complete rrceaom. It has nono of the potty Incidents which go with tho management of a farm whero thero aro chickens and butter and eggs marketed, where each month has its duties, and where there is no time when something does not need attention. This sort of farming comes with high-priced land and a dense population, but It does not ap pcdl to tbo imagination llko tho plow ing of fields so largo that turning a single furrow requires a day's Journey, or tho cultivation of tho ground with Btcam plows and hnrrows. The cut ting, threshing and socking of grain at n single operation is spectacular as well ns effective. In this respect It resembles tho range cattlo business In its best days. Acnte Indigestion. Acute indigestion may result from many causes, but when it follows Im mediately upon a holiday feast, It Is usually attributable to overdlstcntlon of tho stomach, aggravated, perhaps, by the presence of such indigestible things as pastry and plum pudding. It occurs a little oftener in children, but in them it is rarely so serious In its consequences ns it Is In adults, for nausea is more readily induced nnd more promptly yielded to, and as soon as tho stomach has got rid of its burden, tho trouble is at an end. An adult on the other hand, strug gles against the feeling of oppression, and often intensifies It while seeking to relieve It by taking stimulating po tions. In many cases the first indication of the disturbance is loss of conscious ness or a violent convulsion resem bling an epileptic seizure. Sometimes, indeed, it is difficult to distinguish tho nttack from one of heart failure or an apoplexy, for both these conditions are favored by overindulgence. A dis tinction la important however, for neglect of appropriate treatment in either condition may favor a fatal ter mination. The old ndvlce to quit a meal before a feeling of satiety has been obtained Is still good; one should cease at least before a sense ot discomfort has been produced, and room should always ba allowed for the eecretion of the gastric Juice, which in an adult often amounts to nearly a quart When the walls of the stomach have been distended to their utmost capacity by food, th addition of so much fluid would seem of itself enough to induco the altnckt or If the distention prevents the se cretion of the fluid, as It does nor mal muscular movements, tho process of digestion is delayed, the food is re tained too long in the stomach, it un dergoes abnormal decomposition, In flammation is Induced, nnd this ex tending to the small Intestine may lead to more protracted illness. In the treatment of acute indiges tion, the production of nausea should be favored. When vomiting occurs, it should not be checked until the stom ach has been relieved of its burden. If it does not occur spontaneously, It should generally be induced. If unconsciousness or a convulsion has supervened, a physician must ba called without delay, for it may bo necessary to administer nn emetic subcutaneously. Following this, a laxative is gen erally given, nnd tho diet for a few days Is limited to easily digestible, unlrritntlng food. Milk, of course,-la the safest form of nourishment, ex cept for those with whom 1 does not agree, and the nddltlon to lt of a little lime-water or Vichy will often remove nil objection. Youth's Companion. Troublesome Children. Everything is relative, after all, even age; yet one might suspect that tho "children" of one of Mr. Muzzey's Men of the Revolution" might hnve ar rived at years of some discretion and proper regard for behavior. When I saw tho old soldier, sayB Mr. Muzzey, he was the sole survivor of those who witnessed the Battlo of Bunker Hill. At tho age of 05 years he was attending a Whig celebration he'ld at Boston in 1850, and there I met him. He was a good-looking old man with a large, well-shaped head, blue eyes and mild expression. His whole countenance beamed with benevolence. I asked him If he had any children. "Oh, yes, I havo two sons," ho re plied. "Why did you not bring them with you?" The old man's smooth brow wrin kled Into a semblnnco of a frown as he "I didn't want to be plagued with those bpyB on an occasion of this sort" "Why, how old aro they?" I nBked, wondering it ho could mean his grand children. "Oh, one is 70 and the other is 72. But I couldn't bo bothered with them."
