What Railroads do for Farmers.

TIC haul forty bushels of corn
fifty miles on a wagon would cost
at least $12 for team, driver and ex~
penses. A railroad would transport
it for 81 at most. Allowing an aver.
age of forty bushels per acre, the
crop would be worth So more per
acre or s per cent on 800 AS the
relative advantage is about the same
tor other crops, it is clear that rail-
road passing through town wonld
i'd 500 per acre to the value of the
arms. A town ten miles square
.ontains Ga, 900 acres. An increase
500 per acre is equal to Sc, AGO.
100, or enough TO build 200 miles OF
road would extend through twenty
towns ten miles square, and cost but
$40 per acre, if taxed upon the land
These figures are given merely as al
illustration. If the farmers bad tax
ed themselves to build all the rail
roads in this country, and given then
away to the companies that woulc
stock and run them, the present in
creased value of their land woulC
have repaid all the outlay lyric

ABOUT WHEAT CULTuRE.-At a
discussion during the late New York
State Fair the following opinions
were given
AS to the quantity Of seed to the
acre, q gentleman gave it as his opin
ion, that one and half bushels to
the acre was better than two.
Anotherresponded that three pecks
10 the acre of well cleaned seed was
better than six in the condition in
which it is too often sown. Wheat,
for seed, should have all the defective
portions removed from it before be-
ing sown.
1t was suggested by the nextspeak
er, that the wheat crop was often
much injured by lack of winter
protection, especially in localities
destitute of forest clusters, He had
found great benefit. under such cir
cumstances, from mulching with
straw It shields the plants while

THE PERUVIAN MUMMIEs.-Our
readers will remember the account
(recently published in this paper) Of
''the resurrection"-as it was called
of 500 mummies at africa, Peru,
during the great South American
earthquake. Mr. E. G. Squier, the
learned historian of South Americ. n
antiquities, in note to the New
York Tribune, makes the following
explanation. He says: "Tne desert
hills behind africa, as, indeed, those
surrounding the few inhabilable
spots on the Peruvian coast, are ht-
orally stuffed with the desic0fed bod :
les Of The aborigines. They are but
thinly covered with light and ni~
irons sands, and are often exposed
by The winds. | have seen dozens
Of them at africa, lying on the sur.
face, wrapped in coarse grass mat
ting, or in their crumbhng nets, for
most who lived here seemed to have
been fishermen. In excavating for
:he africa & Tacua Railway a dried
body was found partly encased in
wrapper of thin gold. Rude inn
plements, domestic utensils, and oc~
casionally ornaments, are found
with the human remains. ! have
carefully examined hundreds of so-
called mummies without finding the
slightest evidence that their preser
walton is due to other than natural
conditions of soil and climate"

Italy.

The agriculture of Italy consists
mainly in silk, cotton, rice, grapes,
hops and cheese. One~third of the
population of Italy (more than eight
millions) is attached to agriculture.
But few of them are owners of the
soil. The cultivation of rice is one
of the richest resources of Lombar-
dy and Piedmont. particularly in the
valley of the Pc. The cotton raised
at the foot of Mount Vesuvius Zeal
led the Castelleamare cotton, from
the name of the shipping port, is
only surpassed by the Sea Island cot
ton of South Carolina. The cultiva>
ton of cotton is carried on extensive
ly in the plains of Salernia, in Gala
bria, and in the low valleys of Sar-
DINA and of Sicily, so that, during
our :.late war, the product reached
Sl2, 100000 year. But silk is the
chief industry of Italy, combining
AS il does both agriculture and ne an
ufactures. Until the silk worm
blight, few years since, the profits
accruing from the silk industry were
more than forty millions year
These profits have diminished. owing
to the disease of the silk worms, but
still there were 1892 silk factories
open in Italy in 1866. The expor.
tation of raw silks tends to decrease
while that of silk tissues is increas
ing. In Lombardy alone the indus
try supports 100000 people.
