were 154,000 tons of guano inspected and sold 
in Georgia last year, and the amount this year

prints reports from the principa' Spring- 
wheat growing districts of the Northwest, 
from which it appears that the area sown in 
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin is much 
smaller than in previous years, while there is 
a large increase in area sown in Minnesota, 
Dakota and Nebraska. The decline in price in 
the Chicago market recently has not so much 
influenced the area iu Illinois and the adjoin¬ 
ing States as the fact that the tillage of other 
crops has been oftener rewarded with success. 
It is the general impression that the total 
yield will show no falling off from previous 
years, the decrease in the acreage in the older 
settled States being fully compensated by the 
increase in Dakota, Nebraska and the extreme 
Northwest.More thau a million head 
of cattle wintered in the Territory of Wyom¬ 
ing and the general “ roimd up” of this enor¬ 
mous number will begin about the middle of 
May.

Blitter Buyers 
everywhere are refusing to take white, lardy- 
looking butter, except at “grease” prices. 
Consumers want nothing but gilt-edged but¬ 
ter, and buyers therefore recommend their 
patrons to keep a uniform color throughout 
the year, by using the Improved Butter Color 
made by Wells, Richardson & Co , Burlington 
Vt. It is the only color that can be relied on 
to never injure the butter, and to always give 
the perfect color. Sold by druggists and mer¬
