they ar. probably lighter, if We regard
only the region which has been so many
years in cultivation, because of the exhaus-
ton OF the soil, Last year, because of the
drouth, Virginia and the Carolinas pro-
duced less than half their average corn crop
OF eighty years ago.
Those years have witnessed signal pro-
gress IN agricultural implements and ma
chlnery. Our farms are seeded and TILED
above all, our crops are cut and housed
with tar less labor than of old. Apart
from this, the great body of our farmers
stand where their grandfatters did un-
needing that the world was moved on
An excess OF water long since converted
their level lands into sour bogs and stag
nant ferns; and thus they still remain. =
ham falls capnciously, and for the most
part at seasons when they least need It.
leaving the uplands parched and thirsty,
throughout weeks and even months, when
their need OF moisture is greatest. The
water that Is badly needed in July aud Ans
gust, runs off unheeded and worse than
useless IN spring, because it carries away
the best ingredients of the soil. In short.
While civilization has stamped its living i'm
press on our manufacturers, commerce. and
naVIgatlcn, our agriculture remains too
generally In the rude, barbarian stage which
1t should have long since outgrown.
A CHIEF need of our times is a class of
thoroughly capable, qualified practical ag>
neu!tural engineers. They should be ready
to give reason for the faith that is in
them, but they should be known as work
ers, rather than as takers. Each of them
should be able, after thoroughly traversing
an average farm, 10 tell its owner how 10

summer. he should be able to decide at a
glance, just where building and yards should
be located, anu to give lucid reason for
his choice. One such man in each rural
county, would immensely increase the an>
nual product of our fields, the average re-
compense Of our farmers efforts. while
slowly creating a useful career for himself
W hen shall we have him? and how shall
he be distinguished from the swarm of
quacks and shallow pretenders who disgust
our discerning farmers by loud talk made
up OF concelt and emptiness?

The Science of Farming.

There are in the United States hardly
less than twenty millions Of persons inter
ested in, and subsisted in Agriculture, The
number Of frames can fall little short of
four millions, and they are rapidly increas-

ing up Southern ''planteries' and far
Western ranches. The census of 1880, if
properly taken, will probably return not
less than four millions Of farms, whereof
-fourths will range from forty TO three

them from eighty to one hundred and sixty
acres.

A MIRAGE.-A beautiful mirage was
vis;'le on the lake Wednesday afternoon.
For the space of nearly an hour magnif-
cent spectacle was presented to the behold
er. The whole Of the east shore, including 9
Michigan City and the coast northward for
a distance of about 80 miles, was distinctly
visible to the naked eye,-bufs, trees,
houses and farming lands, with an occa-
sional sail fitting along the shore. The
panorama increased and diminished in bril-
Iiancy at intervals of few minutes, and at
last faded away. leaving nothing but the
vast expanse Of Lake Michigan visible tc
the spectator. The phenomenon was rare
one, and was fully appreciated by all who
were fortunate enough to witness it.-CAt'
