The Yield Of Corn.

1t is the opinion of the New York
Times that "the average yield orcorn
is less than one,half Of the possible
yield. When one thinks how little
the second half of q 100 bushels oil
corn costs an aore, the profit of grow,
ing such a crop becomes apparent,
and it is easy to produce such a yield,
One wants the right kind of corn,
good land, and little extra work in
cultivation, The cost of the land
and Of planting and tending thocrop
is the same for 20 bushels us for 100
bushels per acre"

Wheat and Beef.

Of all the crops grown by the farm.
er, wheat contains the largest pro.
portion of dry or solid matter, name.
ly, from so to 80 per cent. Animals
Give weight contain but 25 per
cent. of dry matter. If the nitrogen
or valuable part of the meat and
wheat is considered to all have come
from the soil-and the latest and
most weighty evidence upon this
point is that the soil, rather than the
atmosphere, is the chief source of nj.
trogen, the removal of a ton of wheat
from the soil will not exhaust the
land as much as the growing of a ton
Of meat.

ing Of the Monetary Conference yester,
day, Signor Luzzati, one of the Italian
delegates, replying to the arguments OF
NJ. Pirmez in favor of monometallism
made n telling speech, in which, after
stoutly disputing that gentleman's as
sertion that the gold monometallic
nations We're satisfied with the present
state of things, and Tamarking that
even Prince Bismarck now seemed in
clined to abandon his gold theories, he
paid an eloquent tribute to the great
ness of the American nation, and de
clarod that it would be long before the
current Of gold would set back to
Europe, for the needs of the United
States and their enormous development
of industry and trade would necessitate
an immense increase in the gold cirCu-
latiOu. He argued that silver acculnu-
lated in the great European and
American banks because there
was an enforced preference for gold
owing to the Legislatures Of the great
commercial nations having made it the
sole international money. Tomorrow

| "From the academic shades of the

ernment and constitutional liberty. No
body expected that this quiet professor
would have an opportunity to show the
great qualities hepoSSeSSed and become

stands in the opinion Of Europeans, so
for as | know it, the mightiest chieftian

over the battlefield, of the continent but
only like meteor in it's
brightness; for his light was, steady
as the orb of day. 1t shone to the very
close, increasing in brilliancy and i'll the
trust which the people reposed upon it.
Such was Jackson. He lived for his
country, never doubling the justice OF
the cause, believing it was righteo6.s
and trusting in it, he died, as live to-
day, believing that the confederacy
ought to have succeeded, because it
was founded on truth and justice. He
gave his life for the whole country, and
the country gave its heart to Jackson.

eighty thousand emigrants from those

such q contract had been made Will
the owners Of the Wilson line of steam
ers The emigration from thescoupli IS
ne represents to the farming lands in
the West is rapidly developing, and
the applications for transpOrtationS
during the winter months were so great
that contract with one company be-
came necessary.
The Wilson line offered the greatest
advantages, having fleet of vessels
running between Hull and the princi-
pal ports in Norway and Sweden, be
SIDES having % mutual agreement with
all the Translate ntic steamship compa-

The Question oil VacPiQ al iOns

Though there are two vaccine physl.

vaccinate all those people free OF
charge, who are not able to pay for hav-
ing it done, there are many people who
are not aware of any such regulations
having been made. A number Of peo,
pie in the smallpox stricken district
say they would get vaccinat"d if they
could afford it, bat dollars with them
are not picked up every dny. To such
it might be important tor them to know
that DR.. II. o. Oglc, whose office is ut
5l2 King street, is the vaccine phySi-
clan for all that part Of tn" city east Of
Market street, and vacCimatcS all free Of
charge who do not feel themselves able
to pay for having it done. Dir, Smith
Cooper, office at the northwest corner Of
Seventh and jefferson streets, is the
vaccine physician for all that part Of
the city west of Market street, and is
bound to vaccinate all who apply who
do not feel able to pay for having it
done. With this explanation there will
be no excuse for persons to go without
being vaccinatcd who are not ahIeto pay
for having il done.
