The summer that has just ended has
been fruitful one, and we cannot see
that our farmers have any cause Tor
complaint. Crops all over the country
are generally abundant, and there is Il
prospect of u full demand for our &C.

not been IN average one, and the war
in which Russia is engaged and which
promises to last for good while, has

On the whole, the outlook for the
farmers in the United States is cheer
ing, and, when they prosper all other
persons feel the good effect, We arc
almost certain that business will pick
up wonderfully this autumn. There
will be more trading, more money
more enterprise, In short, we predict
considerable relief from the hand

The Little Moons OF Mars.

Mars has been repeatedly examined
with the most powerful telescopes under
most favorable conditions. When near
est to us he is about thirty-five millions
of miles from the earth. Jupiter when
nearest is eleven times farther from us.
so that If Mars had moon as large as
the least of Jupiter's, or in other words,
apout as large as our own moon, it would
look a5out one hundred and twenty-one
times larger than the least of Jupiter's
moons. 1t would exceed that moon in
brightness in much greater degree, be-
cause Mars is much nearer to the sun
than Jupiter is, and therefore receives
much moro light. In fact, Mars receives
about nine times as much light as Jupi-
ter. Thus moon of his as large IS ours
would shine fully one thousand times as
brightly as the least of Jupiter's.
But the least of Jupiter,,s moons can
bo seen in the smallest telescope ever
used for astronomical purposes. The
telescopes which have been turned on
Mars without finding any satellite are
fully two hundred times more powerful
as light-gatherers than the smallest, so
that moon showing q disc only / 200 OG0
part of that which would be shown by O.
Martian moon as large as ours ought TO
be easily seen in. the largest astro-
nomical telescopes. From this it follows
that il Mars has moon whose diameter
Is greater than about the four hundred
and fiftieth part OF our moons, that moon
ought no more to escape observation with
the powerful telescopes directed upon
Mars than the moons of Jupiter escaped
under the scrutiny Of Galileo's tele-
scopes.
But that is as much as 10 say that Mars
can have no moon more than five miles
in diameter. Astonishing though this
mHy seem, it will be readily perceived to
be JUS! when we consider that according
to the estimates of Mr.. Stone, formerly q
chief assistant at the Greenwich Observa-
:ory, the diameters of some of the small
est of the minor planets are less than
twenty miles; and yet these, though
much farther away Ghan Mars, have been
detected with telescopes by no means the
most powerful of those employed by as
tronomers. In fact, some of the tele-
scopes turned upon Mars are altogether
too large and cumbrous to be used IN
searching for small planets.
We do not know how largo the two
moons of Mars which have Just been dis
covered actually are. AS yet we have
only the news of their discovery, and
that they travel at distances of about
1880 and about $500 miles from the
centre of Mars, in periods of about thirty
hours and about fifteen hours respective.
~. But as distance of 1880 miles
from the centre of Mars corresponds to g
distance of more than ii 500 miles from
his surface, or fully two and half ii ,es
his diameter, there seems no reason win,
the glare of the planet itself should have
concealed the outer satellite, at least
fr> view. We are compelled therefore
to conclude that this satellite-and prob
ably the other also-must be very amall
| We shall be surprised if it has diameter
Of more than ten miles, and as we hav,
said, If it has diameter of five miles il
ought to have been discovered sooner

farming. The system requires constant
and enlightened attention and superyis.
ion In order TO insure to all parties the
full profits = rewarde.
Beaidea uany advantages direct "a
we'll as Indirect, heretofore enumerated.
we believe it to be necessity under the
condition of affairs in our State. As a
rule property cannot be sold, there is no
money to purchase, while the land must
be titled in some way. We believe in
general immigration, aud this system en-
courages IT. We are opposed 70 the emi-
grafton OF any portion or class of the peo-
pie OF the State, and this system discour-
ages that movement.
In conclusion we regret that we are
unable to give to this subject more con-
sideratiou than simply an individual ex-
l"orience. In oar opinion it affords an
easy, safe and practical plan of develop
ing and thereby enhancing the value of
the unimproved lands of our State; it
will be found to be profitable mode of
cultivation both to land owner and ten
ant; 1T encourages a kinder relationship
between capital and labor; it tends to
produce wholesome political effect, and
In its practical workings gives q proper
command 10 labor which will advance
the industries of our people and the good
OF our State. If we were endeavoring to
engraft into our agricultural custom
some new idea that was never before
tested, we might advocate the adoption
OF this system with less confidence; but
more remote far than even the period of
the discovery of this continent, are the
laws in regard to landlord and tenant,
and practical lessons in relation to this
system can be learned from the earliest
pages Of English history, while we would
find In Its practical results one of the
great means which has gradually led to
English wealth.
