The Mechanical Department is 'splendidly equipped with Linotype machines and a. magnificent Coss Perfecting Press, which adds greatly to its facility for giving its readers the latest news ai the earliest possible moment.

ONLY 84.00 A IEAU ESTIMATE OP CROPS Qnantltrand Qnallty Compared with lb Product of Other Years Washington, Dec. 1. The preliminary estimate of the statistician of ithe De partment of Agriculture of the average yield per acre of corn in 1900 is 25.3 bushels, as compared with an average yield of 25.31 bushels in 1899, of 24.76 bushels in 1S9S, and a ten-year average of 24.1 bushels. The- indicated yield per acre In Ohio is 37 bushels, in Indiana and Iowa 38, in Illinois 37, in Missouri 28, in Kansas 19, and in Nebraska 2G bushels. The averaire as to oualitv is 85.5 per cent as compared with 87.2 per cent last year and 82.7 per cent in November, 1898. It is estimated that 4.4 per cent of the corn crop of 1899 was still in the hands of farmers Novem ber 1, 1900, as . compared with 5.9 per cent of the crop of 1898 in farmers' hands November 1, 1S99, and 7.25 per cent of that of 1897 in hand Novem ber 1, 1898. The preliminary estimate of (the aver age yield per acre of potatoes is 80.8 bushels, against an average yield of &S.ti3 bushels an 1899, 75.19 bushels in 1898, and a ten-year average of 7G.b bushels. The average as to Quality is 88.1 per cent, against 91.4 per cent in November last, and 84.7 per cent in November, 1S98. ... Ihe preliminary estimate of the aver age yield per acre of hay is 1.28 tons. against an average yield of 1.35 tons in 1899, 1.55 tons in 1898 and a ten-year average of 1.28 tons. The average as to quality is 89.7 per cent, against 93.8 per cent in November last, and 95.3 per cent in November, 1898. For tobacco no average yield per acre for the entire country can be established, but the yield per acre is somewhat above the ten-year State avarage in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Maryland and Wiscon sin, and below such averages in Vir ginia, North Carolina hd Pennsylvania. In the South Atlantic states the sweet potato crop suffered from lack of moist ure, and except m Georgia the yield per acre in those States is below the ten-year average.
