save cotton and tobacco, with a nation
like ours, of about the same number Of
inhabitants, whose territory gives more
than fifty acres to each inhabitsnt, or
nearly seventeen tim q as much land for
cultivation.
REASONS FOR PROSPERITY.
Land In France is very equally divided
among tue whole of the population. Ac-
cording to the latest official returns the
cultivated land of France was divided
into 5,55O0O0 distinct p operties. fthis
total the properties averaging 600 acres
numbered 5000, anu those averaging 90
acres, 1900, while there are 5000 900 Of
properties under six acres. After hear
ing these statistics, the question, i have
no doubt, arises TO the lips Of each one
my auditors, as it came to me, how are
these very great results possible ? What
Is the secret This may be told in aword.
1t is the thorough cultivation of the
soil. OF her 132, ,000, 900 of acres, "a, ,00O,-
600 ara arabic; 100000 only are in
meadows, or as we say, fields and grass;
5000, 900 in vineyards; 500, 900 In orch
ards and gardens; 2,250, 600 in mi, celia
neous crops; 10000, 900 In wood and for
est 800 900 in ponds, 10000, 900 c"ly may
be called hearth or waste lands, the re-
mainder being for roads, public squares,
canals and pleasure Rrounds--abOut T..
OOO, 900 OF acres. Thus IL will appear that
two-ihrds of the entire area of France IL
under actual cultivation every year.
GATHERING THE THREADS or THE
ARGUMENT.
However, ! seem to hear some one OF
the enthusiastic managers of this Inter.
national Dairy Fair saying TO himself
his courtesy to the speaker preventing
his speaking aloud his thoughts, admit
ting all that has been said to be true, In
favor of farming in general way on
small farms, how does 1t APPEAR that such
a division of land is favorable to the pro
duction Of butter and cheese? pray
leave to give one fact in answer to that
England is best country that either
France or the United States has for those
articles, and In the year 1876, which ar,
the last reliable statistics which | have
from which have been quoting, Eng
land bought of our butter s2,965, ,OOt
worth, and of our cheese Sl2,824 ,OOt
worth, or an aggregate of both articles
which may well arouse the pride Of tn,
United States, of S15, ,780 900, while Eng
land bought of France the same yea
SlS,672,00O worth of butter. You will
observe that ! say nothing OF the chees,
that France sold 10 England for tn,
French farmers are far too practical !,

butter but cheese alone; and, besid. 4

DECEM BER q 1879

THE CITY COUNCIL last night by a
very close vote determined to increase
the police force by an addition of two
more men. The Mayor asked for twelve
and several petitions numerously signed
were presented for this increase. But
The Council very wisely determined that
the present financial condition of the
city did not warrant such an Increase
The act will add about sixteen hundred
dollars year to the city expenses; and 1t
is doubtful whether it will be repaid in
necessary beneficial service. The ordi-
nance was not considered as a political
measure, nor did its adoption take q
party shape, since three Republicans
voted for it, Messrs. Adams, Downing
and Wood; and four Democrats, Messrs.
Knight, Lynch, Norton and Psynter,
voted against it. The vote on its passage
being II ayes to 10 nays. If those who
were opposed to the measure had shown
as much weight against it as they might
perhaps have done through petitions, il
would not have been passed. But q
weak petition against such measure i:
often regarded as failure.

ter river four miles below Chestertown.
In referring to it the Baltimore Sun
says "The gentlemen present found
many circumstances in favor of what is
generally known as the Queenstown
route. Queenstown is little town in
Queen Anne's county, almost directly
facing the mouth of the Chester river,
and the mouth of the Patapsco likewise.
On the opposite side of the river, under
the lee of the Eastern Neck Island, safe
anchorage with very deep water may be
found, while the long arm of Love Point,
on Kent Island, completely landlocks the
bay, at the bottom Of which Queenstown
is situated. The Delaware terminus of
this proposed route will be Lewes and
the Delaware breakwater, the best and
most costly artificial harbor in the Uni
ted States. The distance from Baltimore
to the breakwater by this route is estima-
ted to be one hundred miles, which is
Just about the distance of Philadelphia
from the same point. IL was stated in
the meeting at Chestertown that an air.
line drawn from the Seven Foot Knoll,
at the mouth of the Patapsco, to the
breakwater, would pass within six miles
Of Queenstown creek, and the Seven-Foot
Knoll is on the same parallel Of latitude
with Cape May. A gentleman of Balti-
more, whose scientific attalnments en-
title his remarks to the utmost credit, has
been reported as saying that a ship canal
of two hundred feet in width, which
would expose the mouth of the Potapsco
TO constant flow of salt wafer from the
Atlantic Ocean at Lewes, would have the
effect to keep our harbor constantly open,
even in the severest winters and if this
should be the fact, the advantages accru-
ing from that one circumstance alone
would be almost worth the money which
it will cost to construct the canal.

THE WATER SUPPLY.-It seems to us
that our people have been put TO too
much cost already for their supply Of
water and considering the difficulties
net with in completing the works that
have just been erected, they will not be
willing to lay new mains and change the
base of the city's water supply for some
years TO come and, therefore, the propo-
sition which has been made to the Coun-
ell by Messrs. Bancroft X Sons, while it
may be read and form food for reflection,
is not likely to be acted upon for the
present 1t would not be wise for the
city to aban ION its present base of sup
ply, which, as it is connected with tide
water, may be regarded as unfailing, and
as the only unffiling source. The city of
Chester receives its supply from the Della
ware river, and the city of Chicago from
the Lake and it is beginning to be re-
garded as unsafe to depend wholly on
any small stream for the supply of water
to great cities. In New York city, the
question of drawing a supply from the
surrounding rivers has once or twice beer
lnooted, but the brackshness OF the
water is difficulty that has deferred
that city from efforts similar to those OF
the water works of Chicago.

REDUCTION OF SALARIEs.-In 1860,
Hon. James Buchanan resigned the Mis-
sion to England. His salary, and the
salary of all other Ministers who had
preceded him to the Court of St. James,
was $1,000 a year. Since then the
salaries of Ministers were raised until
that of the Minister TO England reached
$4,000. An effort was made by the Demo
cratic House two years ago to reduce it
heavily, but the Senate objected and
would only permit the bill to pass with
a reduction of $500. Now again the
committee on foreign affairs propose a
reduction which we hope will be Success
full. The bill spoken of, if it passes will
leave the salaries still too high. 1t pro-
poses to reduce the salaries of our minis
ters to Great Britain, France, Germany
and Russia from SIT 800 to $4,000 per
annum; to Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Japan
and China, from $4,000 TO $1,000, and
to Chill and Peru from $4,000 to $1,000
per annlm. There is no provision in the
bill for ministers to Belgium and the
Netherlands, or charges to Denmark and
switzerland, but S2l 900 is inserted to be
expended in the discretion of the Presi-
dent.

AN ADDRESS BY GENERAL BENJAMIN =.
BUTLER on DAIRY FARMING ON
SMALL sCALE-sUCCEss OF THE ExHI-
TIoN.
The interest taken in the Dairy Fair,
now open at the American Institute build
ing, far exceeds the best hope Of its pro-
moters. Yesterday between two thous-
and and two thousand five hundred per-
SONS visited the Rink TO watch the pro-
cesses through which milk goes on the
road to butter and cheese. The Alpha
and Omega of dairy industry are here
open to view. On one hand you see the
hav in bales aud cow: few feet Instant a
gentleman invites you to taste some but
ter, the result OF the aforesaid hay,
through the agency Of an Alderney or
jersey COW. The display of blooded
cattle is in itself show worthy of inspec-
ton, and the mechanical process through
which milk is made into butter or cheese
is curious to behold. The cheese, in
truth, 10 fearful.y and wonderfully made,
and those who doubt may 10 and see for

TO General Benjamin f. Butler, " ho " as
the speaker of the evening.
GENERAL BUTLKR's SPEECH
Wh-n the General was introduced he
was warmly greeted, and the applause
having salNided he said that the coming
together of an International dairy fair u
fht- nsfFnnnllfun on NJ h.
States would but few years ago have
been deemed to be meeting of those
represe nting small class of AZ Iricultural
Industries. The estimate might then
have been correct, but to-day the fair
represented one OF the greatest industries
of the States. 1t was amazing, he said
TO consider that nearly $3.50 900, 900 worth
/ OF hutter and cheese had been produced
in America during the last year. Wonder
\ Inents never ceased ~ben one learned
| that this production was one-seventh
more valuable than the wheat crop and
ons-tnrd more valuable than the cotton
! crop. The wealth of the country in live
/ stock could be inferred when it was
known that IL required one milch COW TO
supply the wants of every FIVE inhabit-
ans. The forty millions of Americans,
| TO say nothing of the hundreds of thou
sands of foreigners who are supphed
i'ohi ,hiS hdlhtli required lhS care oil
vast Hooks. Referring to the figures con
cerning the relative value Of the wheat
ana dairy produce exported To Europe,
the General said We speak fiippantly
OF our capacity to supply the world with
breadstutis. True, we have the capacity
SO 10 do, but it is lamentably true that We
do not do it. The boastful Western mar
on his prairie will not be little aston
ished 10 learn the fact that the Republic
OF France, with no such area as the Stat,
OF Texas, raises more wheat, in quantity
than the United States of America al
told. SO far from our supplying the IN ar
kets of the world with wheat, in the YEA
1861 We sent To England only 1000, 90,
hundred weight of wheat, or about 81,
OOO,0OO in value while France EXPORT
TO England S11 ,00O,O0 worth of butte
alohe to spread on bread made OF ou
wheat.

A PLEA FOR SMALL FARMS.

Again, TO 20 back 10 the year 1850,
where only We can get accurate sratls-
tics Of the products of the United States
anu the products of France, let me call
your attention 10 the following reInark-
able, hut reliable statistics Of French
agriculture. France then produced 2:}O,-
OOo,OOO bushels uf oats against our no.
OOt,ODO; 10000 ,OOO bushels OF rye against
our 70, 600, ,OO0: ~, ,0OO, 600 bushels of b lrlcy
agatusl our 1000 900, and -, 900 ,0G0 bush
e IS Uf buCkwheat against our II 600 600
Nor was she was without the products Of
grazing and pasture land, which are sup
posed - he he necessity requiring our
EXTENDED farms. She had4 900 900 horses
and mules against our ! ,2j0 900: II 900 900
OF neat cattle agalust our $1,000 900; 80
OOO,OOO sheep against our "A ,UOO, 600 and
b,OOO,O ,OOO swine aga Dst our 10000 0. As
an example OF what may be the profits
| OF the smaller industries of farming,
which by the farmers OF the United States
| are reckOned almost valuelrss, il is an
astonishing fact that IN the year 1866
| France exported as much in value of
| eggs to England alone as we exported of
bacon ana hams, one OF our chief exports
| OF provisions in 1865, to ali lhe world:
| that Is 10 say, in round numbers, rising
i OF $4,000, 900, while we exported eggs to
tho paltry number of 4l2 dozen. No
man who has had these figures brought
TO his consideration and who has not ex-
amined the agricultural productions OF
france, both In variety and amount, can
believe that the 5000 900 of her ipbabi.

An Incident of the Queens Levee.

A recent number Of the Dundee Adrer-
says that very few people are aware
that at the present moment the court is
in mourning, and it is not perhaps, un-
natural that the officers who attended the
levee of Tuesday should have overlooked
this important fact. They all appeared
without the band Of Grape around the
arm which is the sign OF royal and official
sorrow, and this oversight led to a some
what amusing incident. The absence of
the Grape wa at once observed by the
queen, who in these matters lisa punctil-
iOus stickler for etiquette. She intinat-
ed that the levee could not proceed until
the officers were invested with court
mourning, and gave instructions that they
should at once proceed and get the band
of Grape put around their arms. Some
difficulty was experienced before the
royal orders could be fulfilled. No sup
ply of Grape is kept at Buckingham
palace, andsthe officers had to get it
where they could. The result was that
in the afternoon some forty OF fifty
gentlemen in brilliant uniform were seen
in Grosvenor road scampering from one
shop to another in search of Grape. In
the end, the article was procured, and
the officers entered the throne room wear.
ing the proper sign of courtly mourning.
The presentations at the levee were de-
layed for nearly half an hour by this
incident, and the officers no doubt will
in future study the gazette q little more
carefully in order to learn when "the
ladies and gentlemen " of the court are
ordered IN wear mnurninU-
