4 BONANZA Of Golden Gram.

Talk about bonapzas, The corn croo>
Of the United States last year amounted TO
1 ,295, ,0OO. 900 bushels. At forty cents per
bushcl, fair average price the country
over, this would be worth $5lS ,0OO, 900.
On the othe. hand, the estimated yield OF
our gold and silver mines for the year vas
$85, 200 900. With the natural tendency
of mankind to talk and think most about
g'it,ering and snowy things. we say and
hear more about the $S5, ,0OO,0 900 OF pr'c-
ious metal from our western mines than
the ba f billion dollars WORTH of corn
which the country Rises, consumes and
sells. without thinking it has done any
thing noteworthy. Add to the corn the
wheat, cotton. potatoes aud fruits pro
ducrd hy the farmers of the United States
IN . single year, and the resources of the
gold and ell, er mines seem trivial.

some little attractions to their homes and do
something towards reconstructiug our social
interest, would it be out of time or place to
aid In building up this Association for our
