The names Of Bismarck and LongfellOw are
couplrd strangely in our cable dispatches as
honorary members of the Royal Historical
Society. No man living has made as much
history, hand over hand, as the German
Chancellor has done. The poet is not as active
n citizen of the world, but his enrolment in
a national school of students of history is an
honor to American literature. He has already
received honorary degrees from each OF the
great English Universities.
Let no one suppose that the reports of desti-
tuition in Ireland have been exaggerated.
The information which our special conespon-
dent. Mr.. James Redpath, has collected and
diges!ed in Dublin indicates that hundreds
and even thousands of families will perish
unless aid is given at once. Letters have been

sympathies of all generous Americans will go
out TO the suffering island overwhelmed as it
Is by these dark waters.
Our cable dispatches have more gossip than
political news this morning, but our readers
will not take this amiss. The Queens first
drawiug-room at Buckingham was tame
affair, and the ladies who were presented
suffered equally from the vicissitudes Of the
climate and the rigors Of Court etiquet. The
London season is menaced with dulness.
The economies are practised, aud the signs of
an early adjournment of Parliament multiply.
In Paris, the gay world spins round with ac-
tolerated motion. A religious drama by a
popular playwright is speedily damned, and
a Baroness sets the fashion by giving Patti
$1,000 francs for singing song in her draw
ing-room.
The young men on Long Island must either
turn their backs upon the gentle s,sterhood or
else face the music at once. The other day a
Brooklyn Judge warned them that continuous
loafing on the premises of an object of affection
or such constant attentions to the same as
should encourage the vicinage TO suppose that
there was an actual engagement, constituted a
ground for action for breach of promise. And

Important Agricultural Statistics.

A writer in the International Revie,0,
who seems to have drawn his facts and
figures from official sources, furnishes
some interesting and important informa-
ton in regard to the increase of various
crops in the country: He says that in
the last fifteen years the production of
wheat and barley has trebled; corn, cot
ton and tobacco more than double; pota-
toes nearly double; hay increased more
than one third, and oats almost 14O, 900,
600 bushels. Here are the statistics !:
In 1865 the wheat crop was las, $4,000
bushels; in 1879, 448, 756, 900; corn in
1865, 704, 427 900 bushels, and in 1879,
L ,544 1919, 900; oats in 1869, 225, $4,000.
and in 1879, 1854, 1858, 900; rye, 1854,
22,646,00O; barley, 1881, OO0-
40,l84, 900; potatoes, 1O1 ,OOO-1S1,-
100000; hay 23,528,OOO tons-35, 648,
900; tobacco, 183, $4,000 pounds to
1884, 059,000; cotton, 2,229,O00 bales-5,-
100000.
The writer attributes the increase in
cereals to the increase of population and
development of the western and north
western States. He says that during the
present generation the corn centre has
been transferred from the South to the
West, and the wheat centre from the far
Middle States to the far West. In 1912,
SO per cent, and in 1859, SO per cent. of
our corn was grown in the Southern
States. In 1877, 86O,OOO,O0O bushels
came from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Arkansas, and Nebraska, the
product of all the rest of the Union was
only 494, 448,000 bushels. The tobacco
increase 100,OOO,OOO pounds from 1870
to 1878-has been, of course, mainly in
the South In the same section and
same period cotton has increased from
100000 to $4,000 bales Arkansas
and Texas being the leading States in
this advance. In the former Ill 100000
pounds were raised in 1870, and 319 ,OOO,-
600 in 1878; in the latter in 1870, 157,-
100000 pounds, and in 1873, 5OO,OOO,-
900.
Only about 9 per cent, it is said, OF
the national grain crop is exported, in
Guiding 24.76 per cent. of the wheat, and
$40 of the corn The total exports of
all grains were 100000 bushels in
1868; in 1878 they had risen to l89 ,OOO
600. The exports are likely to increase
with the smaller proportion and the time
is not far distant when the United States
will be the dominant power in the grain
markets of the world.

This leaves a margin of II mills per

put into the silos in May if. wanted for
summer feeding or sold As ten quarts
of average milk will make pound of

the butter will be less than ten cents per

In feeding the forage, one or more
planks are removed at a time, and the
feed cut down with some implement 1t
should be removed some "a hours before
feeding, to permit alcoholic fermentation
to commence, which makes it more agree
able to the animal and more nutritious
Some persons remove it only three times
a week In hot weather, the time might
be too long. When put in the silo, it
should be well trampled. In large silos,
this is best done by the feet of mules if
it is so located, that they can be gotten
on it. T. P.

PREVENT
YELLOW FEVER.

1t has been well proved that prevention is
better than cure. A very simple and effec-
tive preventative for Yellow Fever and other
fevers has been found in BENSON'S CAP,
CINE POROUS PLASTERS. They were
used during the last season in New Orleans
very successfully, the common method of u.s.
ing them was to apply them over the stomach
changing them every week. They are one of
THE MOST ACTIVE ANTISEPTICS and
seem to destroy the poison. One reason why
they are of special value is that they stimG.
late the digestion and thus enable the system
to overcome the influence of the malarial
poison. They are cheap and almost certain
preventative. Ask your physician about
them. Bensons Capcine Plasters are sure
preventative and cure for chills and fever if
worn as above. Price 25 cents.
