> ; American Agriculture. The possibilities of American agriculture eun best be appreciated by. reviewing the facts that- tne area of'arable lfauis m tlie uuuea ouues wtcam i 1,500,000,000 square miles, while the area at present under cultivation is estimated 10 be 174,900,000 acres, or less than 275,000 square mil?s. It is probable that the Dext censes will show a valuation of farms exceeding $11,000,000,000, and an annual production of $3,000,000,000. The fact fthat more then one-half of all 'our people who are engage in tile ordinary pursuits of life are directly employed iL agriculture is at once ft sufficient evidence of its universality and importance. In the year 1878 there were 51,008,000 acres in Indian com, producing 1,371,000,000 bushels; 32.208,000 iu wheat, with a yield of 422,000,000 bushels; 13,176,000 in oats, giving 411,855,000 bushels; 1.790,006 in barley, showing a crop of 42,'iOO.OOO bushels; 1,621,000 in'rye, with 25.800,000 bushels, and 673,000 acres in buckwheat, yielding a product of 12,277,000 bushels. Tims the total for 187S U'R, 2.284. 90*2,000 bushels, raised on 100,470,000 acres, while in 1874 the total crops were but 1.454,180,200 bushels; in 1870, 1,962,821,000, and in 1877, 2,178,934,646 , bushels. The future increase in the farm productions of this country will result largely from improved systems of cultivation, as well as from extended areas under the plow. A system of agriculture presents but little to be proud of wliich averages to the acre over the whole country a yield of but twelve bushels of wheat, less than twenty-seven bushels of corn, and only twenty-eight bushels of oats. Compared with what modern agriculture is capable of in this direction, it is not too much to affirm that our farm crops, even on their present area, may be doubled in quantity .?American Cultivator'. The Price of Corn. m, _ n e .hip ioiiowmg, iruuLi buc j_>iuuu^i>uu | Hnick-Eye, conveys a sound moral in a merry way, ?nd after being laughed at may well be soberly pondered by farmers and others who are slow to see that the laws of trade "work both ways." "No," the honest farmer remarked, in tones of the deepest dejection, "the big crops don't do us a bit of good. "What's the . e? Corn only 30 cents! Everybody and everything's dead set agin the farmer. Only 30 cents for corn. Why, it won't pay our taxes, let alonb buy us clothes. It won't buy us enough salt to put up a barrel of pork. Corn only 30 cents! Ey jocks, it's a livin', coldblooded swindle on the farmer, that's what it is. It ain't worth raisin' corn for such a price as that. It's a mean, low robbery." Withiiyhe next ten days that man had sold so much more of his com than he had intended that he found he had to buy corn to feed fhroncL die winter with. The price nearly knocked him down. "What!" he veiled, "30 cents for corn! Land alive R cents! What are you givin' us2 I don't'waut to buy your farm, ? .jgant some corn! Thirty cents for ! Why, I believe there's nobody n this world but a set of graspin', i-snckin' old misers. Why, good land, you don't want to be able to buy a national bank with one com crop! Thirty cents for corn! Well, 111 let my carriage-horses run on corn-stalks Artil winter before I'll pay such an un^Mieard-of, outrageous .priee for com as I that. Why, the country's flooded with F corn, and 30 cents a bushel is a blamed robbery; and I don't see how any man, looking at the crop we've had, can have the face to ask such a price." California Lands. There are 50,000,000 acres of land in California fit for cultivation, and not over 5,000,000 are in actual use for that ' purpose, and not over 8X100.000 are in- r closed. Over 20,000,000 acres are held j by land rings or individual monopolists for speculative purposes, in tracts of 125000 to 300,000 acres. This state of things has long been felt to be a great check: to the prosperity of the State. ( Tudor normal conditions men of small means might be expected to flock in large numbers to settle upon the rich funning land, and healthy, active, and enterprising agricultural communities would arise; but this has been rendered impossible by the refusal of the large land-owners to sell except at exorbitant price8. The new constitution that is now before the California people for adoption seeks to remedy this evil by providing that the taxation of lands held in Large uncultivated tract# shall , l?o oo-occo.-J r><3 oif fVu. AiV't uv aocccovi, no ttvtoivtvAVj wv v?-*w , nominal value of 50 cents to $'2.50 per cere, but that the same valuation shall ] be placed upon them as upon the small cultivated farms adjoining them. This v.ill be from $2(^to net acre, accord- j ing to location, and wffi make the an- j cuai ta.t on one of these small king-' , doms $100,000 or more. It is believed that such assessments will ao^rtcause the monopolists to telT their trfecte for *, whet they will fairly bring.

Fertility of Dairy Farms?Much ( nonsense is circulated in regard to the , rapid loss of fertility of dairy farms, by 1 ' reason of the carrying away of the J, phosphates in the milk. Now 1,000 !, pounds of milk contain about three to ' ( four pounds of phosphates, of which ] nearly the whole is phosphate of lime, j , Of this less than half is phosphoric i ( acid. Five thousand pounds of milk, : , therefore, contain but seven and onehalf pounds of phosphoric acid, which ' j may be taken as the yearly consump- , tiou, in this way, of each cow. As ( wheat bran contains 2.9 per centum of phosphoric acid, it needs only that J about 250 pounds of bran be fed to each ? ? ? A ? /IwAn/vltf ?rvA? ( t-UW, ^ycurJV, tu icpiutc iuc umuguv upu ^ the soil. There are few dairy cows that , are fed lees than tliis quantity of either , bran or some food equivalent to it, and < it is pretty certain that very little, if any, phosphoric acid is really taken from the soil of dairy farms. On the con- ] trary, to say nothing of the natural J supply in the soil, which slowly becomes t soluble, there is good reason to believe s that every well-kept dairy farm becomes ] gradually richer in phospliates every | year.?American Agriculturist. Interesting to Fanners. A writer in the the New York Tribune says that carbolic acid administered in a very diluted state in the drinkingwater of cattle, and sprinkled about barns, stables and yards, is an absolute 1 disinfectant, and prevents cattle dis- ; ease. The spread of the rinderpest in ' England wa6 stopped by the use of car- ] bolic acid. Bro.
