land-in manuring and improved methods
Of culture. While the average produc-
ton of wheat in America is less than fif-
teen bushels per acre, in the old and long
cultivated districts Of England the aver
age is nearly three times what it is in
this country. An inquiry into the differ
ent modes and practices of culture in the
two countries would readily throw light
upon this important question.
The statement is further made in regard
ty rye, oats, Irish and sweet potatoes, hay
and tobacco !; taking the entire country at
large there is a steady decline in the pro-
duct Hops have increased at the rate of
500 per cent, owing tothe enormous con-
sumption of beer; rice has increased at
the rate of nearly 800 per cent. Cotton
has increased from S00,000,000 lbs. in
1S40 to l LOSS, 100000 lbs. in 1855. But
the product of the great American staple
Indian corn-is far surpassin in amount
our wheat, cotton and tobacco combined.
It's cultivation and product has increased
in every State; the crop of 1856 was
estimated at 500, 100000 bushels, which
is double that Of 1910.
The experience Of every year teaches
us that Indian corn is to be the chief de-
pendenee as the staff of life in years to
come, not only of the inhabitants Of our
own country, but Of other portions of the
world, and particularly of the manufac-
turing districts of Europe.-VaL Farmer

Fourteen teats should be preferred but
never he says, ''try to raise pigs from a
sow with less than ten goods teats. Avoid
breeding in-and-in.p
Another important point is that the
sow should be so Petted as 10 become
fond of the person who has the care Of
her, and thus lose the natural ferociiy of
her kind, and not be disturbed by his
presence when she brings forth her
young"
As to care and keeping be remarks:
''At all events, she should have suffi-
cient space and exercise to insure good
health and the. use of her limbs. If she
can occasionally have an outdoor run,
and chance to root the ground, it viii be
beneficial. Give a suffiiciency of food to
keep in good flesh and growing, a suf;
ficiency but not an excess of salt, and an
abundance of drink. Keep warm in the
winter and cool in the summer. A pail
ful of cold water, occasionally dashed on
to the animal on hot day, is very re-
viving and conducive to good health" :"
The hog goes with young sixteen
weeks. They seldom vary "a hours from
that time. The feed should be gradual
ly increased as much as eight weeks be-
fore they bring forth. For two days after,
she should have no food except little
warm Cruel, not to exceed half a pint
day Of meal. She should have all the
warm water she will take, which will
sometimes be two paiIfuls in day. This
is very essential, as it helps the flow Of
milk and prevents fever. Yon may now
gradually increase the feed till the pigs
are two weeks old, when she should be
full fed. If you have no better feed,
good indian meal mixed with milk will
answer very well, if you give enough and
feed regularly. The pigs should be taught
to eat with their mother as young as two
weeks, which may be done by having
broad shallow trough, and gently putting
them into it when the mother is eating.
By pursuing the foregoing course, 1 have
not failed once for the last thirty years,
when | have tried, in raising a healthy
litter Of pigs"

thrown into great excitement last night
by very large light that started in ihe
aerial regions from the direction Of the
moon fsOutheast), J, and passed rapidly to
the northwest, making a whizziug noise.
The brightness of the light was no less
than that of the noonday sun. This oc-
Cured about 1920 P. M. Not cloud
was to be seen. The moon shone forth
IN all her brightness but while this great
light was passing, which was followed by
a long trail of sparks, the moon was not
to be seen any more than we can see il
at midday. About five minutes after the
light was gone out of sight, loud report
was heard like the report of cannon,
which was soon followed by another loud
report. The reports echoed and reverber-
ated for six or eight minutes, when the
sound gradually died away ike the rum
bling of distant thunder This was seen
and heard at all the neighboring villages.

Does All Sound Move At The Same
VelOCity?
We extract the following fir

INAOOAty
We extract the following from the
London photographic NeCs::
At this season of violent :hunderstorms
our readers will be interested to know Of
some observations which have recently
been made respecting the phenomenon Of
thunder. It has generally been consider
ed that sound moves at a uniform velocity
Of l ,142 feet per second and In every
book on the subject rules are given by
which the distance of any source of sound,
such as firearm or flash of lightning.
may be aScertained by estimating the
number of seconds and fractions of a
second which elapse between the ocular
ly-observed time Of the occurrence of the
phenomenon and the hearing of the sound
which accompanies 1t. Doubtless many
persons have in this manner amused them
selves by estimating the distance off which
one Of therecent violent lightning flashes
has been, and have taken comfort from
the idea that, if a certain number of
seconds have elapsed after the fash has
taken place before the thunder is heard
they are safe from its effects; falling into
the very common error of mistaking the
cause for the effect The Rev S. Earn
shaw has, however, been engaged in some
extremely interesting mathematical In
vestigauons respecting the phenomenon
of sound, and has arrived at the theoret-
ical conclusion that violent sounds are
propagated far more rapidly than gentle
sounds, and that therefore all reasoning
upon the distance of the flash, based upon
the lapse of time between it and the
thunder, is fallacious. Many instances
Of this fact are adduced in corroboration
of the theory, in which the clap of thun-
der followed Immediately after the light
ming, when, Judging from the distance
which the latter was from the observer,
there should have been an interval of.
many seconds duration. These and SINH
lar instances have induced the above
named gentleman to enter upon mathe-
natiCal investigation of the theory of
sound, and he arrives at the conclusion,
contrary to the hitherto universally re-
ceived opinion, that there is no limit to
the velocity with which violent sound is
transmissible through the atmosphere,
provided the phenomenon which produces
the sound be sufficiently violent. Hence,
1t is probable that there is no sound which
is propagated faster than clap of thun-
der, its genesis being especially violent.
This theory seems also capable of ex-
planning the rumbling, rolling noise of
thunder. 1t is only necessary to imagine
that the sound at its origin is broken up,
either by partial interruption or reflection,
into several sounds of different degrees
of violence. They would thus be propa-
gated with different degrees of rapidity,
and would therefore not fall upon the ear,
if it were at any distance off, with sud-
den crash, but in a series of minor claps,
or as rattle. IF this theory be true, the
report of a cannon should travel faster
than the human voice, and that of thun-
der faster than either. This, we think,
could easily be put to crucial test

The Cereals of the United States.


In an address recently delivered before
the American Geological and Statistical
Society, of New York, by Mr.. John Jay,
allusion was made to the progress of Am
erican Agriculture. His estimates were
predicated mainly upon the last census of
1850, as compared with that Of 1910,
which, if strictly correc., afford subject
for the serious consideration of every
farmer. In wheat and some other staple
products, it appears that there is marked
decrease. The same facts have frequent
ly been alluded to before, and until the
census of 1860, which is near al hand it
cannot be determined with any degree of
accuracy what the result of the last ten
years will prove in that respect, but many
interesting and instructing facts would be
developed. In the estimates of Mr.. Jay,
the wheat crop of New England has
rapidly declined, while in New York
there has been a falling off from IL, ,000,-
900 bushels to 100000; decrease of
25 per cent; the inreased demand being
supplied from the North. Western States;
the product in the Middle States being
nearly stationary, Notwithstanding the
undeniable fact that an increased breadth
of land is annually soWn.
This fact should lead every intelligent
farmer to pause, and inquire into the cause
of this decline and endeavor to apply a
remedy in the better management of his

MURDER IN OREGoN.-John Brady, a resi-
dent of Sauvie's Island, near Portland, Oregon,
was murdered near his residence, on the even
ing of November 2lst, by a boatman named
Julien, an Italian, who was in his employ.
Brady was returning home from Portland in a
hatboat accompanied by his wife and Julien.
The boat was towed to the head of the island
by the steamer Vancouver, and shortly after
the steamer cast off from the hatboat. the
Italian purposely commenced dispute with
Brady relative to some matter of business be-
tween them, and finally Julien drew his sheath
knife and rushed upon Brady, stabbing him in
the breast and killing him almost instantly.
Immediately after the commission of the deed
the murderer jumped ashore. Mrs. Brady
alarmed several settlers on the island and in
formation was conveyed to the Sheriff and
Coroner at Portland, who repaired Immediately
to the island, where an inquest was held and a
verdict rendered Of "wilful murder" 1t was
reported that Julien had been seen in Portland
night or two after the murder, and eye.y ef-
fort would be made to arrest him.
