AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.!' j < Ihc Money Reaulta of Skilled Culture. Statistical research shows that a { crude apiculture is not abundant in j product, and that it is compelled to ; pay high interest 011 borrowed money.! A low grade of fanning is cursed with i mortgages and mildews, with insects : and ignorance. Uncertainty brood, ; j oyer its harvests, and famine decimates i its people. Famine is unknown in a, 1 country of advanced agriculture j ] though a fourth of its people o ily may 11 be engaged in rural production. On j j the contrary millions famish in India, ! j while most of its people are in agricul-: t tnrc. It is said that :n 1270, in Eng- j < land, "parents ate their children when j wheat rose to .'536 shillings a quarter j ( at the present value cc money.7' Five j; hundred years ago, when nearly every ; i Englishman lived by agriculture, the j ( product only sufficed for a home sup- j i ply; now, with a population of 11<"? to i the square mile, of which only one in < eight is an agricultural worker, six- j ] ^-tenths of all the food required -tor con-1 < sumption is produced at home, though j 1 half the Island is occupied for resi- ] donees, pleasure grounds, and hunting ! ] reserves. i ; The Latin races of Southern Europe, ' . slower than the Anglo Saxon in utiliz- i ing in rural practice the discoveries of modern science, are still making sure L progress towards a higher and more J protital)le agriculture. In Italy lands are more productive, buildings more , numerous aud c?nvenient, and the peasant is better paid and better lodged ' and clothed. * An official commission has recogniz- J ed the improvement as a measure of' ( progress in scientific agriculture, and J made the future prosperity of Italy ' dependent upon schools and scientific 1 experiment. This Italian commission declares: 1 The experience of all times and of all \ places has demonstrated the fact that { purely agricultural countries are never j rich, even from an agricultural stand-1 J JLPUiUlj WJUilt; III WUIHUVO H11VIV | the arts, industries andcommere flour-1 j ish private gain creates rural wealth, j Spain i3 mainly agricultural, yet its j : entire value of rnral production could !! be purchased with the value of the corn I ] crop of the United States. It is be- j] cause the yield is small and the price I = low. Russia, with labor employed i ] principally in agriculture, yieas Dut vj i . bushels of cereals per head, whilej Great Britain with seven-eighths of her | j people employed outside of agriculture j last year produced 10 bushels of cereals J for every inhabitant of the country, j ; In Great Britain the yield per. acrc of v wheat is2S bnshels; in Russia scarcely * / more than a third as much. This high yield has been attained by science ! applied to agriculture. A single iwdi- } vidaal has giren his life and" fortune 1 to experimental agriculture, and en- . dowed his experimental farm with the ! income in pei'peutitv from half a mil- 1 lion dollars. The average yield of a country is no indication of the natural fertility of its. ; soil. The richest soils of the* world ! under the rude methods of primitive j agriculture, return low'yields. The : progress of skill and learning is indi- ; cated bv a country's average yield. ; ~ The Statistical Commission of the In- [ ternational Congress twelve years ago : made the average yield of wheat 12.6 | bushels in Hungary, 13.2 in Portugal. : 17.1 in France, 24.8 in Holland, and ' 29.9 in Great Britain. In this country, where maize is a i universal crop, the richest districts do J not necessarily produce the largest I yields per acre; Xew England, with I , a soil of sand and gravel, averaged in ] the last five harvests 30.8 bushels per i acre, with good culture and the use of' J ^ fertilizers. The Missouri Valley, fat i ! with tlie element^ of maize growth,! pielded at Hie rate or W.s ouslieis, ana ' in the Ohio \alley.20 bushels, while ; ' the-Middle States, with much aid from J experimental science, came very near ^ the best western results with 20.4 bushels. \ In seasons unfavorable to production ( the money value of skill and science ] in agriculture is immensely enhanced. ' It is often remarked that farmers re- ] ceive as much for a very small crop as j ? a very large one. In 1881, 1,195,000,000 bnshcls of corn was worth $760.- 5 000,000; in 1884, 1,795,000,000 bushels . were valued at 8641,000,000; a small ; crop{was worth 63.6 cents per bushel, \ a larger one 35 7 cents. Nevertheless ! < there is disaster in a small crop. The ; failure is unequally distributed. The few advanced farmers grow nearly ' full crops, and receive larger revenues \ than usual; and many unskilled and j ! careless suffer disastrous reduction of | yield and quality, andr fail to make j return for seed and labor. Given unscientific agriculture, with an un-, - auspicious season, and the poor may j grow poorer while the scientific " farmer in the same year may grow richer. The contrasts in present production . and profit of agriculture are sufficiently 1 striking. But the present will soon he ; past. We are confronted with a future full of possibilities as of dangers and 1 difficulties. Experiment, skill, science 1 applied to industry can only avert the 1 latter. Fifteen years ago 47 per cenr. * of our people were employed in agri-j 1 culture; five years ago 44 per cent;j*! to-day perhaps 42. We find in all hj nations in which more than half the j i laborers are in agriculture are compar- [1 atively poor, and their rural processes | are primitive, their implements rude, j ' their rate of production low. We find j ' that in the highest development of j J . agriculture, 20 per cent., or at most.! ' .-can furnish food for all. in this coun-1 1 try allowing for surplus production, j 40 per cent., can readily meet the I j demand of home consumption, and 33 * per cent., 'will probably do it in the !; not far distant future, leaving two- j1 thirds to produce othen forms of wealth jJ With increase of permanent wealth j there will come demands for luxuries of living which will add to the profit of' j the farmer. As the facilities for pro- j "duction increase, one danger from an j 1 unscientific, primitive, routine agri- i 1 culture is great excess in certain crops 1 that nave Deen cultivated lrom tne |' earliest days with little labor. Already ! our wheat has encountered the lowest ' markets in a century in Great Britain. 1 The present price of wheat in Liver- ( pool is to day lower than in the thir- ' teenth to fifteenth centuries. I have * known a crop of cotton to sell for ' $40,000,000 less than the preceding * : . crop 1,000,000 bales smaller. J Our agriculture is too much con trolled by accident or caprice. Free prairie lunds, improved reapers and ; railroad extension make a glut in : wheat. The cotton gin, slavery and a 1 foreign demand once more made the ] South poor in buying supplies for man ] 4 aud beast engaged in growing cotton. < Thus unequal development reduces , profits. While one-third of the wheat ] is exported, one-seventh of the con- < sumpsion of barler is imported. We do not grow even the ccreals required. I We boast of our exports of products ] o f agriculture. We foolishly talk of feeding the nations of the world. We < .dojiot feed ourselves. In 1S83 we ' rvo?r1 OOlH AAA AAA fnnrl onrl i * pc*ivi VWTVjWVjVVV AV* AVV*.I l*wvi Ul 4 IJ(\ J 1 imported, and the freights, commissions, at.d custom dnties in addition; and our food exports, at priccs on the j farm and in the packing .houses, ( scarcely sufficed to pay the bills of costs , of such imports. A large item of this ; was sugar. Thirty years ago half the . sugar used in the United States was ( produced in Louisiana. It is possible ; that European agriculture can be ; :hroatened with paralysis by American :0!i)]>ctiiIoii, and that thiseouu'rv canlot produce sugar on account ot Ei :>ean competition?

The September cotton report of the j Department of Agriculture shows a prevalence of hot and dry weather j Jnring1 August, except in- .Louisiana, t Mississippi and Florida. A shedding )f bolls and decrease of vitality have resulted quite generally. Drought has jeen serious in Texas and Arkansas md quite general in western Tennessee, southern Alabama, Georgia and ;he Carolinas. The caterpillar has caused much damage in southern Texts, Arkausas and in central and southern Alabama. Its prevalence is noted ;hroughout central and southern Georgia with small effret as yet. The boll A'orm is causing much damage in the jlack belt of Alabama and in Arkansas and Texas. The condition has declined in every State. The average s S7 against 16? in August. Last year !t was 82 in September and 87 in Aurust The present average is two Soints average above the September ivcrage of 10 years.

Generally the plants are vigorous, ( md capable, with favorable autumn j cveather, of ample growth and boll j Acvelopmcnt. In the districts most infested with cotton worois the loss is , irreparable and still threatening. The condition of spring wheat has * seen impaired since the 1st of August in the Northwest, the district of prin- , :ipal production. Heavy rains were i followed by extreme hear between the j 1st and middle of August, just before ( harvest, shriveling the grain and caus- { ing rust. Heavy-wind storms pros- , rated and injured large areas. In Nebraska there is some complaint of smut ana a mue i>?aKoia. vomica uugs ( :iave done some damage in Wisconsin md Minnesota. The injury was greater in August than in July. The averiges are: Wisconsin 77, a loss of 8 points; Minnesota 7S, a loss of 5 points; Dakota 96, a loss Of 4 points; towa 88, a loss of 7 points. Northern N'ew England, Colorado and the Territories arc nearly or quite up to 100. Hie genera! average for all spring ivheat is 8G?, against 95 in August, f he crop of last was 150,000,000 bush?ls. Returns of winter wheat are ilmost identical in results with those 3f July. There is a slight advance in Michigan, Texas, Maryland and some Dther States and a point or t\vo/ of decrease in several. The general iverage is 65.8, against 65 in July. Except as the result of threshing may jhange present expectations the winter tvheat area may be placed at 217,000,-* )00 bushels and the remaining area lbout 134,000,000.

A special from Springfield says a j errible cyclone struck Washington i it eight o'clock last evening and almost j iterally swept it from the earth. It :ame Irom the northwest and broke ; lpon the town very suddenly, carryng everything before it. The tornado vhirled up Court street, the main msincss thoroughfare, and ruined ilmost every business block on it? ai east forty or fifty in all. llardly a >rivatc residence in the town escaped, 'ullv four hundred buildings in all foing down.

That was thirty-four t years ago. ' Well, her mother wauled { me to make the dress which she was to wear, and I did. It was of white silk, very pretty, with ?a few trimmings, ( and set ofi her round little iigure well, j I shall never forget the day I took it to her and she tried it on.

If I 1 only had my lucky quarter back I'd ' soon hustle 'em out "What do you mean by that?" asked the Port Jervis editor. i "Wat do I moan?" replied tho old dame.

I only wish I could git my quarter back. Or else 1 wish I had another one." The editor from Port Jervis produced a quarter, which the old woman dropped in the churn, walked backward around it three times and then seized the dasher and went vigorously to work. After a few brisk strokes slie said: "Thar, sir. They've gone! They couldu't stand the silver. I'll have this butter ready to work now in less than a iiffv. I'm much oblee?cd." ' James Juniper Si>ier did not wait for the butter to come but resume his journey. "So she caught you, did she?" said a friend, at Pond" Eddy to whom he told the story. "It you had gone back and peeked through a window you would have seen the iunocent old lady fishing that quarter out of the churn and depositing it in an old cpffee pot in the cupboard. They say she's got it more than half full of lucky quarter's that confiding victims have ?iven her to replace the one she lost. During the hunting and fishing season she reaps a harvest, as her cabin is a handy place for the tired and hungry sportsmen to ask for a little snack. Yes, this belief in witchcraft in Sullivan County is a sad thing to think about, but it pays." When Mr. Shier got back to Port Jervis he said he didn't care so much about having been taken in, but the quarter was just half of his day's collections and he could have had more e ^ 1 -a. 1 li* .7 t ^ n lun w11q id at jioiuc.?ihjuucml/ i/c/?w crai-Chronicle. 1 ?The cost of General Grant's funeral seems to have been greatly overestimated.

Her bones became ie seat of intense pain, her joints were ivollen and painful, and eventually her rhole body andliinbs became covered with plotches and small sores. Her appetite iiled, and she gradually lost flesh and ;rengtli, and had but little use of herself, s her limbs and muscles were paralyzed, he, as well as her friends and those with horn she lived, despaired of her recovery, [er sufferings, combined with loss of hearlg and taste, and blindness, were truly eartrending. All treatment from physicians and the se of medicines seemed powerless. Her isease was blood poison and rheumatism. As she now seemed well and hearty the iporter asked what wrought such a wonerful change.? "I used a medicine recommended by a riend," she replied, '-and before one bottle ad been taken I began to see and hear, "he second bottle relieved all rheumatic ains and improved my appetite. When 1 ad completed the use of six bottles my yesightand hearing were fully restored, snse of taste returned, all splotches disapeared, sores all healed, and my strength nd flesh restored I now feel as well as I ver did, and my friends, as well as myalf nrp astnnridftd." 'What was the medicine?" asked the reorter "Botanic Blood Balm?B. B. B.?was the reat remedy that acted so powerfully on ly disease and cured me. I never expe[enced any unpleasant .symptoms from its se, and its action is so quick that it surrisesall." The reporter tlreu sought a physician r*ho knew the case, whereupon he handed s the following lines: "I examined the above case of blood oisonand rheumatism, before and after eing cured, and certify to the facts as hove stated, and must acknowledge that lie B.
