Census Report.

From the interesting pages OF this Report, we
CLEAN the following details relative to the great
cereals which form the staples of the various
sections of the Union
The introduction of wheat into the North
American Colonies dates back to the earliest pc
Rod of their settlements by Europeans. 1t was
first sown with other grains, on the Elizabeth
Islands in Massachusetts, by Gosnold, at the
time he explored that coast in 1909. 1t appears
from the returns that there was gain between
1910 and 1850 of Is ,645. 1873 bushels. In 1910
the entire crop amounted to 81 1923 ,272 bushels,
in 1S49 according to the census of 1850, l00,-
SOB 1893 bushels, although in many of the wheat
growing States the crops of that year were far
below the average.
Buckwheat is believed to be native of Gen.
trail Asia, and does not appear to have been
much cultivated in the United States prior to
the last century. The amount raised in 1910
was 7,29l,743 bushels; in 1850, 8,956,916
bushels.
Barley, like wheat, has been cultivated in
Syria and Egypt for more than 5000 years. 1t
was introduced into the American colonies by
Gosnold, as early 1902. The consumption of
barley for the past year in the manufacture of
malt and spirtuous liquors, amounted to $780,
900 bushels. The amount OF barley raised in
1910 was A. 161 SOB bushels; in 1850, 5, l67, 0l6
bushels.
Rye is supposed to be native OF the Caspian
Caucasian desert, and it is known that it was
cultivated in the North American Colonies soon
after their settlement by the English. Accord
ing to the census returns of 1910 the product Of
the country was 1S.645657 bushels lS50,sl4,-
1SS627 bushels, falling off of 4,457 900 bushels.
Maize, or Indian Corn, is claimed to be Of
American origin, as it is still found growing in
wild state from the Rocky mountains in South
America, to the humid forests Of Paraguay. The
first successful attempt to cultivate it in North
America, by the English, occurred on james
River, in Virginia, i'll 1908. The increase of
production from 1910 to 1850 was 2l4,000,000
bushels, equal to Sc per cent. The total cropin
1910 was 33652l.S 75 bushels; in 1850, $780,
$780, 12 bushels.
The country of the origin Of the oat is some
what uncertain. 1t was first introduced into

RAISING CBIcBESs.--We hear complaints from
every portion of the State Of the great difficulty
the farmer meets with in raising chickens. They
frequently die off by whole focks in the course
Of a few days The following portion Of nn ar
ticle upon the subject taken from the Californian,
may prove useful to those Of our restlers who
are engaged in raising poultry:
1.-THE gapes is what we believe kills the chick
ems of California. A dissection and close e1ami-
nation will show that the bronchus ar wind pipe
is infected with small red worm, which caused
the symptoms OF the disease and ultimately The
death of the fowl by suifocation. Althoushiherr
are many formula laid down for the cure Of This
disease, we doubt the efficacy Of medisine, never
having seen chicken recover under its inilu-
cnce. But still the affected are essiIs relieved
and cured. All that is necessary is to strip u
feather nearly to the end, then force it dawn the
wind pipe4tD wheve the bronchns branches into
the lungs, turn itsonce or twice to loosen the
worm, and withdraw it. A portion will be fonmt
sticking to the feather, and the reinujnder have
been loosened and will be Immediately enwghed
up. In quarter of an hour the fowl will eat
heartily as though it had never been sick. Fin
day or two amy symptoms of the disease
mains, 1t will show that all the worms were not
elected, and the operation must be repeated.
Remember the disease is in the windpipe and
not iii the throat. Some writers recommend that
the feather be dipped in turpentine before use,
but turpentne is always dangerous medicine,
and the plain feather is sufficient"

A MONSTER NOVEL, Columbus" the Prus-
sian correspondent of the New York Commercial
Adrertiser, writing from Paris under date of De-
cember 8, says:
The Constitutional commences tomorrow the
publication in its feuileiun, OF Isaac Laqucde7m,
undoubtedly destined to be regarded the
chef d9uvre of Alexander Dumas. He himself
declares it to be the work of his life. Twenty
years ago, he sold what lie had already written
off to Carpenter, famous publisher. Two
years after, when the subject had grown upon
him, he bought it back, determining to expand
the eight volumes into eighteen. During this
time, while writing seven hundred volumes and
fifty plays he has been constantly writing upon
Isaac Laquedeau, and he says that the book will
contain all that he knows and has learned of the
arts and sciences. of men and things, of life,
death and the grave. 1t will be composed of
six distinct romances. but all bound together by
common subject, and pursuing the same idea.
This comes in time to induce the subscribers to
the Constitutionel to accept without murmer the
increase in price-from 81. to l6f quarter.

or three wagon loads leave every day for the
mines.-S. F. Erening Journal.

ideas relative to that portion of California be-
yond the limits OF the Bay city. Gentlemen, do
take run into the country occasionally, and
get your ideas enlarged We assure you that
California embraces quite large extent of
country beyond the bounds Of your city--almost
as big as "aH ont doors"
