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

The Price of Corn.

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 ,

cultivated farms adjoining them. This

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.

Few of us are sufficiently aware of

upon the necessity, the duty, of afford :

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

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.
