attention is asked to the following
handsome estimate Of her produc-
tions for 1875: Wool, 10000, 900
pounds; wine, 100000 gallons:
wheat, 40,00O,500 bushels. Add to
this the other grains, hay, fruit and
beet sugar, aud the product Of her
soil will exceed, in market value ,one
hundred millions Of dollars. So much
for Il State that has been buttwenty-
five years in the Union, and which,
but few years, since, was practi-
cally Il foreign country, to be reach
ed only by sea-voyage whose course
was half around a hemisphere, and
along the confines Of the Antarctic
ocean.
