pears that tbe wool clip of the United
States for 1889 was 262,000,000 pounds.
Tbe clip of 1890 may be estimated at
272,000,000 pouuds, since the increase
la the number of sheep during tbe
year is nearly 2,000,000. Sheep reach
ed their lowest valuation in 1887, while
a gradual improvement has been since
noted. There is a deciJed revival in
sbeep husbandry. Texas has more
sheep than any other State, California
ranking next, followed by Ohio, New
Mexico, Oregon, Michigan, Utah, Mon
tana, Colorado and New York, in . the
order named. Iu 1889 the total num
ber of sbeep wan 42,699,079, valued at
$90,640,369. Tbe estimate for 1890 is
44,336,072 sheep, valued at $100,659,761.

Dr. Peter Collier, Director of tbe
New York Experiment Station, is cred
ited with the statement that-be flnds
that some-dairymen iu this famed Em
pire State are feeding cows at a cost of
28 cento per day per cow, while others
are getting practically as good results
from ratlocs costing only 14 cento per
cow per day. 8ome dairymen get 863
pounds of butter per cow annually,
which Is from 150 to 200 per cent, more
than the average. That is a dot for
derelict dairymen to digest.

veloiiflly extended during the past
quarter of a century, tbe cities and
towns have Increased in population in
a much greater ratio, than that of the
rural districts.
In this respect the following remarks
by a western oontemporaiy are very
appropriate, and might well be given
as a comment upon the foregoing state
meut : Farmers and Farmer's soos
who- can find any other occupation
leave the farm for tbe purpose of bet-1
teriog their condition. Tbe long hours i
of toil, with small returns on (be cap!-1
ta! and lubor invested, lead many to
seek more congenial employment
whether more profitable or not. Tbe
farms are growing larger and tbe land
owners fewer in numoer, and the older
settled rursl districts are more thinly
inhabited than in former days. This
state of affairs is certainly alarming
when we consider the fact that the
wealth, peace and prosperity of our na

As tbe season for planting baa arriv
ed it is well to note tbat there is a great
difference In the sweetness of the same
variety of corn when grown on dif
ferent klads ef soil This is usually
attributed to admixture of seed, but
there is good reason to believe tbat the i .fc ,
cause lies deeper than this. There is
probably a variation in plants, depend
ing largely opon what food tbey receive.
A soil rich in nltrogenoos and mineral
fertility would aaturally not produce
so sweat corn as land where roota re
ceived chiefly moisture froa the soil,

A Kentuck school -boy of twelve
years recently wrote the following es
say on breathing : "We breathe with
our lung, our lights, our kidneys and
our live. If it wasn't for our breath
we would die when we slept. Our
breathe keeps tbe life a-going through
tbe nose when we are sleep. Boys
who slay in a room all day should not

100.000 in cold was buried that ha
could lay his hands on at any moment,
There were various other localities in
the state where gold and treasure w- ?
also buried, but which he did not '
after because, as he explained, La
lacked the means wherewith to dc.'. jy
his traveling expenses. ;
He looked absolutely destitute an4
poverty stricken, and even "struck"
me for a quarter then and there; bnt
there was, withal, something so plausi
ble in his romances that I could not
bnt feel interested in Lira and give
credence to his yarns.
"Come with me," said he, finally,
"and III show you my apparaius, an I
let you see it work." With A-
osity greatly excited we then pro, I

fornia building, where he produced
from under his coat a V shaped affair

of an eminent German chemist, Ion or '
since dead," and which, he said, would
invariably turn and point to the prec

He then grasped the handles of the
instrument in either hand, with tho
apex, pointing upward, and I looked

"It's no use," said be; "we are di
rectly over the bank vaults, where
great quantity of gold coin is stored,
and it would be impossible for me to
prevent its turning. I then tried tbe
thing myself, but it failed to work ia
my hands, because, as he explained it,
I was not magnetic. Physical magnet
ism, it appeared, was necessary iu its
operation. . ..
To make a long story short, I was
soon bound for a locality in El Do
rado county, CaL, accompanied by
a divining rod man, where, as Mr.
Dennis assured me, he bad located a
rich vein of gold bearing quarts that
would yield at least $250 to the ton.
i aon t know wny 1 didn't first go af
ter tho buried treasures in other locali
ties, but as a $250 quarto ledge was a
sure fortuno, and Mr. Dennis had some
ready excuse f6r delaying our expe
dition after these other "bonanzas," I
had to bo content with the rich gold
mine in prospect.
That T had to pay Mr. Dennis trav
eling expenses goes without saving;
but the prospect of a certain and rich
reward therefor caused me no uneasi
ness on this account
The spot I might say the fatal spot
was finally reached, and Mr. Dennis
at once commenced his experiments.
After hunting about for an hour or so '
the rod began to gyrate, and then we
knew, or at least I thought I knew, ;
that the bonanza was there waiting to
be uncovered. .
After staking out our claim and
posting Up the usual minino-
engaged the services of six experienced
miners at $3.50 per day, and the work
was commenced. The miners were in
credulous, and even poked considera
ble fun at the "lightning rod man:'
but as they received good pay for their
labor Jhey wisely concluded to stand
it as Ibng aa their wages were forth
coming. We sank a shaft and struck a quarts
vein at a depth of thirty feet Thla
woa encouraging, particularly for Mr."
Dennis, who somehow didn t appear
to enter into the thing with the same
Sir t as formerly. After several more
ye of digging and blasting, during
which time I watched eagerly for
"signs" of gold, we struck water. We
struck it hard, too, for the shaft, then,
over sixty feet deep, filled np to within
fifteen feet of the top in less than two
daye.
to add to my discomfiture Mr. Den
nis coolly informed me that perhaps
we had made a mistake, but that if I
would go with him to Los Angeles
He never got beyond that sentence.
"Git," said L "as fast as your legs car.
carry you or" I pointed signia-
eantlytotheMwell."
Mr. Dennis stood not upon the order
of his going, nor did I see him seruri '
until six months afterward, when nt his
familiar corner he was once more re

eacr group of listeners. .

According to the report of the Secre
tary of Agriculture, there are 16,000,
000 cows la tbe country, and last year's
butter product Is estimated at 1,300,
000,000 pounds. Tbe cheese product,
as per the some authority, will approx
imate 400,000,000 pounds. Upon thl
basis the average yield per cow Is 81
the. of butter and 25 pounds of cheese
per annum. This Is certainly far from
encouraging, considering what might
be produced from good 00 ws, good
feeding and proper manipulation in
manufacture. But with improved
breeds for the purpose and a better
system of feeding for dairy produce, a
showing will result.
