What America Is Coming To.
New York dusxnal O Commerce.


America will soon be prepared, it
they are not already. to complete for
the honor OF OF being the richest
people In the world. They are fast
gaining the race, and will soon pass
France and England. No country
has become rich as rapidly as this in :
the past twenty years. The last three
United States censuses give the total
mot assessed) valuations OF real and
pc al es ate, exclusive OF Govern
ment property, 10 all the states and
territories, as follows: 1850. S7,132,-
7s0.2S5; 1860. sl6l596l6,000; 1870,
S30.04S 51S,507. Between 1850 and
1850 the wealth OF the United States
more ihan doubled. Had the gain
continued at the same pace since 1870
the coming census would put US far
ahead OF France, even allowing her to
count in the national property. which
we omit. But the known shrinkage
OF values in the United States for the
past few years foibids US to expect
confidently that this country will take
the lead in 1880. But II she does not
occupy that rank next year she will
surely do so at time not remote.

Pearl Milieu for Fodder.
By 4. K. KILLINGS.

This new fodder plant is attracting very
much attention on account of its productive.
ness. and the avlClity with which it is eaten by
both horses and cattle. On rich soil three
crops can be cut during the season, yielding
from seventy to ninety tons OF green fodder,
and from twelve to sixteen tons of dry fodder
70 the acre. The millet may be sown either
in drills or broadcast, the former method re-
curing about eight quarts to the acre, and the
latter lust double quantity. The seed should
be sown about the time corn is planted, ana II
the crop does well, the first cutting may be
made about July |, from forty to forty-hve
DAYS after sowing If of good growth, the mil
let will stand from six to seven feet high The
second cutting may be made about the middle
OF August and ordinarily the growth will be a
tr,tle larger than the first. The third crop
may be cut about the lst Of October. Beyond
all question more fodder can he obtained from
an acre of mlllet than from four acres OF NOV
ing yielding three tons to the acre. Al The
south it has been cultivated for some years lis
a forage plant, and its success in that portion
of the country is assured.
Select good strong loamy soil, and manure
at the rate of from six to ten cords OF manure
to the acre, and plough under to depth OF
from eight to ten inches, and harrow thorough
lv. If sown in drills, make them from eighteen
to twenty lncncS apart III hohh 'ch !" '"eN'
days the plants will appear, when cultlvator
NAV be run between the rows to loosen the
soil and partially hold the plants. After this
no cultivater is necessary, as the growth is SC
rank that no weeds will appear, or at least Will
not interfere with the growing crop. AT the
north 1t is hardly probable that the seed will
mature, but the vast amount OF fodder harvest
ed from an acre renders 1t the most profltablt
of all our fodder plants. Gourdcorn is excel
lent for cattle, but the yield Is not more than
onc.third as much, and it is not relshed any
better by stock. On rich soil millet may bC
grown without manuring, but "a GOOD coating
of fertilizers will well repay the farmer by {
larger growth at every cutting. To the farmer
who has adopted soiling or even semlsoiling
this plant will be Of inestimable value, while
all farmers should test It's merits this season.

Ingenious roughs are ever on the alert to catch
their victims, who almost always are the farmers
who do not read the newspapers. The last
successful trick, which is beng played in va
rious sections of the country, and of which we
warn our farmers, is for swindlers to appear as
poultry buyers. Having made liberal pur
chase the swindler writes out receipt for tit
farmer to sign. The point Of his pencil in
variably breaks off just before the signature /,
reached, and he produces IA fountain pen from
mis- pocket The body of the receipt is writer
in pencil and the farmers name in ink. Wher
the speculator goes to town he grasses all the pen
ell marks and writes out in ink promissory
note for 800 or $50, and has tdiscounted by
a bank. The unwary farmer has the perpleX
ing alternative OF dIshonoring his name, or o
meeting the note Beware OF them.

No vegetable improves more on acqualnt-

much labor about it, and this was serious OBJ

all the trench requisite for the dwarf and NE

What to do with the Birds.

The most troublesome of all birds Is the Bal
timore1Oriole. He is Omnlvorous, liking equal,
w we'll green peas, cherries berries ana gOod
many more things that make mp the pleasure
of country life. What is more, the orlole Is
enormously on the increase. At first l was
tempted to destroy their nests and shoot them
at sight But, finding them quite as fond OF
insects as of peas, and finding insect foes also
on the increase, there was but the choice of two
evils: birds, with their beauty and song, and
bugs, with neither beauty nor song. II the
mere question of music alone were to be set
tied, we could afford to eXpend the full sum OF
all that they devour to pay the orchestra OF
Nature in our orchards and groves.
Looking at it in this light, | have adopted
the following plan. In planting my corn,
throw a few peasc into each hill. These grow
over the ground as they will and bear abund
antly. They are somewhat in the way of the
second hoeing; but if few are destroyed
enough will be left This is the orioles din
lng.room. He can have all the Champions
and Alphas he likes, and close by his nest. Oh
course, gather few messes TOR the table; bu'
the crop is not Justly nine. 1t is wages hon
estly due and Justly paid to the singer-bund
that makes my house and my work delightful
sometimes think the rolllCking rOvers under
stand the whole business They are begin
ming to come down from the dizzy tips of elms
and are swinging their nests within reach OF
nv hand in the orchard, They know they
will not be molested. No gun is ever fired or
these acres The result Is nest in every ever
green and almost in every deciduous tree.
Feed the birds, give them what they carr
for clearing out insects, and you Will get bet
ter fruit One of the most pleasing memories
of my childhood is the recollection of seeing
my father grating wild cherryrces that grew
in the edge of the forest as he said, "to please
the birds, for they like good cherries, as wei
as we" 1t was bit of poetry, but II was alSc
