The complexion of persons whose digestion
is out of order, who are bilious, or who lack
vigor, always exhibits an unhealthy tint. 1t
is by regulating the bodily organs and pro"
noting digestion and assimilation, that the
parchment hue, indicative of lib health, is
banished from the cheeks. To rectify the
fault Of a sallow complexion, use Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, an inyigorant and Alternative
which removes those obstacles to renewed
strength, physical comfort and personal at
tractiveness--a imperfect digestion and Sc.
erection, and q disordered condition of the
bowels. Persistence in the use of this ines.
tinable corrective and tonic will assuredly
result in renewed physical regularity and
vigor, viii tend to increase bodily substance
and cause the glow aud clear color OF health
to return TO the sallow, wasted cheek.

The possibilities Of American agricul-
Eture can be best appreciated by reviews
ling the facts that the area of arabic lands
I'm the United States exceeds SOC, 0OO,-
1000 square miles, while the area at pres
lent under cultivation ia estimated to be
R174 900, 900 acres, or less than 275 600
square miles. 1t is probable that the
next census will show valuation of
harms exceeding 81, OO0, O0O, O0o, and an
annual production of $4,000, 900, 600.
1.-The TACT that more than one-half of all
bur people who are engaged in the ordi-
mary pursuits of life are directly en-
Eployed in agriculture is at once suffi-
Client evidence of its universally and
*importance.
In the year 1877 there were 81 ,008 600
|acres in Indian corn, producing 1871, :
DOO 900 bushels; 80 20S, 900 in wheat,
with a yield of $4,000 600 bushels ;
his, 10000 in oats, giving All S55, 600
bushels; 1870, 900 in barley, showing q
crop of AZ 900 600 bushels; l g621 900 in
rye, with &c, SOC! 900 bushels, and 673, 900
acres in buckwhest, yielding product
/ Of 1927 900 bushels. Thus the total
cereal production for 1878 was 1924,
/ 9O2, 900 bushels, raised on 100, 476 900
acres, while in 1874 the total crops were
but 1.454, 1870 200 bushels; in 1876,
d, 1852 S21 900, and in 1877, 2,17s, 1874 G46
bushels. The future increase In the
farm productions of this country will
result largely from improved systems of
cultivation, as well as from extended
areas under the pillow. A system of
agriculture presents but little to be
proud of which averages to the acre over
the whole country yield of but twelve
bushels Of wheat, less than twenty
seven bushels of corn; and only twenty
eight bushels of oats. Compared with
what modern agriculture is capable OF in
this direction, it is not too much to
affirm that our farm crops, even on
their present area, may be doubled in
quantity.
