The Ohio State Board of Agriculture is MAX
ing arrangements for the fullest and most
accurate returns of the wheat crop ever collected
III that state. "Threshers blanks for wheat
are sent out to correspondent In each township,
who are requested to fill them up with the dates
OF threshlng, acres of wheat threshed, and
bushels obtained on each farm in the district.
These returns when collected will give very
reliable estimate of the wheat crop of the
state The item of "acres of wheat threfhed"
in each job is specially insisted on The as
SCISSORS returns give the access of wheat in each
county, and by comparing the returns with the
assessment rolls it will be possible to supply
approximate correctness the deficiencies in any
county. The system is an excellent one, and
ought to be generally extended throughout the
wheat growing states

The London times admits that Americans
have earned reputation for the number if not
for the callbre of their inventions. It saws:
" Perhaps their success is as much due to the
prevailing disposition to believe in an alleged
discovery and to give it a trial. In England an
inventor who proclaims his intention is looked
upon like clucking hen who has laid her eggs.
Doubtless there are occasions when he is over
NOISY and uncomfortable. Inventors have had
more grievances aud have appraised the world of
them more than any other class of men. Here
they are regarded as bores; in America they are
entertaining, and everybody listens to them.
thus Is partly why America offers a better field
Tor the propagation Of discovery. But Mr..
chamberlain trod justly as we think on one of
our favonte forms of national self-depreciation
when he denied that the Americans SURPASSED
us III the mere solid and striking of the invep-
tons which the worlds registry Office records.

In the desert mountain ranges of California
and Arizona no rain falls. The area is covered
with cactus plants of evefss variety, and they
are juicy. Millions of land tortoises feed on
these plants, and the Indians make soup of
them. Inside of each is an anatomical tank that
holds about a pint of water Many are cut
open to get at the tank. The water is palata-
bic. Thus meat and drink are supplied, and
the dry cactus makes excellent fuel.

MIR. GARFIELD was haunted for years by the
presentiment, that he could never shake off,
that he would die by violence, as his father did,
and at his fathers age. The more he under

not until about six years ago, when he passed
the age, A, at which his father died, that the
impression was weakened.

PRESIDENT Garfield has been sue
cessfully removed to Long Branch,
and the reports from him since are
Of the most cheering character. He
stood the journey with less fatigue
and depression than was expected,
and he seems to have rallied from
such depression within twenty four
hours after reaching his destination.
He is now away from malariaL poison
in the atmosphere and under most
favorable condition ior recovery.
The doctors and other attendants all
express great confidence in his re.
covery, notwithstanding his extreme
prostration and the debilitating et
feets of the parotid discharge. 1t is
thought that Vice President Arthur
will go to Washington soon, as he
will probable be called shortly to
assume the duties of President dur
ing the temporary inability of the
chief magistrate. Prayers for the
Presidents recovery are being offer
ed in ali large cities, and in many

An order from the secretary oe the

would obviate all difficulties in the
