The Great Grain Growing States.

An extra census bulletin just is
sued, giving the cereal production
of the United States by counties for
the year ending June 30, 1880,
shows the States which constitute
the & arden OF the American CONT
nent. At tho head of the column
stands Illinois, which produces more
wheat, corn and oats than any other
State, and stands second in the pro-
duction of rye. The great wheat
growing States are Illinois, which
raised 51,000,000 bushels; Indiana,
1000, 900; Ohio, $4,000, 600; Michi-
gan, 35,000,000; Iowa, 31,000,O00;
California, 29,000,000; Missouri,
%, 100000; and Wisconsin, $4,000,
000 A few years ago Kansas was
the banner wheat growing State of
1.-THE Union, but the drouth and the
grasshopper have since crowded her
out of line and back from the front
rank. In the States above mention
ed were produced nearly three
fourths of the whole wheat crop OF
the country. Nearly a third of the
entire corn yield of the United
States was grown in Illinois, whose
product amounted to 325, O0O,O00
bushels The other great corn
States are Iowa, which produced
215 100000 bushels; Missouri 202,-
600, 900; Ohio, III 100000 and Kan
sas, l05 100000, California leads in
barley and Pennsylvania in rye.
OF oats the product in Illinois was
5000, 900 bushels; Iowa, 5O,0o0,000.
New York, 81 900, 900; Pennsyl-
vania, 80, 600, 900; Wisconsin, 81, 900
600; Ohio, 2S,000,00O; Minnesota,
23,000,0 600; and Missouri, 20,00O,O00
California and New York raise
about one half of the barley grown
in the country, the former showing
a production of twelve and the lat
ter of seven million bushels. Iowa
and Minnesota are also great barley
producing States. Two-t thirds of
the buckwheat grown in the United
States is credited to New York and
Pennsylvania in the proportion OF
four and half million bushels to
the former and three and a half 10
the latter The leading rye States
are Pennsylvania, with a crop oil
thr ee and a half million bushels
Illinois three, New York two and a
half Wisconsin two and Iowa one.
Other statistics add to the impor-
lance of these great Western States
as food producing region. Illinois
raises more hogs than any other
State, and ranks among the first in
cattle, horses and mules. Wlscon-
sin diyersifies her industry more
than most other States OF her grade
in population, and last year her
farmers sold more than Sl,000,00o
| worth of butter and cheese, ana
over 100000 worth OF tobacco
| She raises more cranberries than
any other State.
When Bishop Berkeley wrote the
! famous line Westward the course
of empire takes its way" he had not
the slightest conception OF the gran
deur and wealth which that empire
would embrace within its boundar~
les before the close of the present
century. These great States are
not only the center of population
and the garden spot OF the world,
but the political dictator OF the
miehtiest nation on the face of the
globe.

Gen. Rusk-HiS Character and
Puplic Services

The Eyening Wisconsin, of Mil
W aukee is noted for the moderation
of its speech, conservatism and re-
liability. 1t is chary of common
dations of men and carefully avoids
high coloring. 1t rarely endorses a
candidate so strongly as it does Gen
eral Rusk, in the following:
1t is a disgrace to political con-
troversies that detraction forms SO
large q part of political literature.
Let a man be named for Office and
straightway his opponents begin to
assail him personally, depreciating
his abilities and detracting from his
reputation. 1t matters not though
his character may be above reproach,
or his public services of real and
permanent value, the effort is per-
sistently made to destroy both in
the public estimation. 1t is proper
in discussing mans qualifications
for office to consider his personal
character, and also his public SER
vices if he has rendered any, but
this should be done with strict adj
herence to truth, and he who in
dulges in an opposite course is guilty
of crime not less despicable than
that of the theft of property.
A mans reputation should be as
carefully guarded against attack as
his purse, while his public service,
if he has rendered any, is not only
the best of all criterions by which
to Judge Of his fitness for further
public trusts, but is as much a part
Of his property as his houses and
lands.
These remarks are suggested by
the persistency with which the oppo-
nents of General Rusk, the Republi.
can candidate for governor, have
assailed his reputation and belittled
or misrepresented or ignored his
public services. No sooner had his
name been mentioned in connection
with the Office Of governor than
from various quarters came sugges-
tons that he is not a person of
sufficient ability for the position;
that he is sine tool of a ring, a
demagogue, a political trickster,"
and so on to the end of the
vocabulary of polite al vituperaton.
How false all this is every one
knows who has any personal ac-
quaintance with him, or who has
taken the pains to inform himself of
the extent and character of his
service in puplic places. 1t is a
humiliating reelection that not few
who have INDUCED in this detraction
were well aware of its utterly base.
less character.
Gen. Rusk was a patriotic, brave
and a most faithful soldier in the
war for the preservation of the
Union, taking part IN many OF the
most arduous campaigns and rising,
by force of character and ability to
command, to the responsible rank OF
brigadier general His military ser.
vice was of no holiday character,
and his military honors did not come
tin. ough the sinuous channels of
! political intrigue and influence. No
officer of his rank stood higher in
the estimation of his comrades than
did Gen. Rusk when mustered out
OF service.
In the autumn of 1865 he was
elected to the responsible office OF
state bank comptroller and re,elect-
ed in 1867, thus holding the office
four years, and until, by the passing
out of existence of most of the state
banks, as a result of the national
bank act, the Office was rendered
unnecessary and was abolished In

The Inner Man.

In spite of all his cares and ~vexations,
says the American Register, Alexander
III. has thus far preserved a splendid
appetite, with decided preference for
the national Russian dishes, quite in
keeping with his leaning toward the old
Russian anners and habits. The Cars
dinner, for instance, is always preceded
by the national 'zukuska," which forms
the preface to the introduction, as 1t
were, to the ~gastronomic occupation.
This zukusBa consists only OF caviar,
herring, smoked salmon, sardines,
smoked goose, sausages, cheese, bread
and butter; raw beets stepped in brandy
a dish imported from Scandinavia. n
added to the repertoire of the imperial
bill of fare by the Czarina-are frequent
ly joined into the foregoing savory In
gradients. The whole of which spicy
%pot-pourri, yclept the little zukuska,
served on gold-enameled plates, is dis,
played on quite a number OF small
tables, in divers hooks and corners OF
the dining-saloon. These miniature
Bullets are approached by the guests
with perfect freedom and applied to at
pleasure. Long rows, or rather whole
batteries, of bottles render a choice be-
tween the national vodka, bitters, kum-
mel, cognac cordials, and English gin
more than difficult. After having par
taken both freely and sufficiently
of the appetite-provoking gu
kuska, the company take their
seats at the table, whereupon the soup is
served, the most priced and declared
f~avorite of all Russian soups being pre-
pared from the s%terlet, a fish caught in
the Volga. The soup of ali others, how
ever, preferred by the Gar and his am.
lily is the ''shtshi," the quintessence of
all the national soups, and, next to
brandy, the most savory liquid for
every thorough Russian. How the
shtshi is prepared, and how it tastes, it
is difficult to describe. The recipe is a
precious heirloom, and as such carefully
preserved. For our fair readers We shall
only give the following approximate de-
tails: Take a large and juicy. piece OF
mutton; boil it down with juicy pieces
of beef, and an unlimited humble OF
onions, garlic, herbs, beets, and spices,
and serve the same, cut in small cubes.
In Poland a similar mixtum compositum
is called "borshtsh," on which the Rus
sian looks down with sovereign con-
tempt. Shtshi is not borshtsh, just as a
Pope is not a Gar. Another soup
which is frequently put upon the i'm
perial table, is called ''okroska," a sort
of mush, or cold decoction of pears, ap-
pies, plums, and oat-grits, with ar all
mixture of small pieces of meat, herring,
and cucumbers, floating therein. The
Emperor always appears at meals in full
uniform; so do the invited guests.

Opening Oyster.

There il Just as much difference in the
manner in which two men open shell
oysters as there is in the way they go to
church or walk on the street. Who has
not watched o thorough oyster. opener at
an Eastern oyster market, and observed
the tender manner in which he takes up
the shell and looks at it, as though it
was q friend Of his. He inserts his in
strument between the shells as delicately
as a dentist will probe an aching tooth,
and by q little turn of the wrist your
oyster is uncovered and reclining upon
the half shell plump and juicy, inviting
you to Ere him down your neck, How
different it is when an amateur attempts
10 open oysters. He commences by get.
ting red in the face, and knocking of an
incn of the edge of the shell, and letting
all the Juice run out and drip between
his fingers. He knocks some skin of his
thumb, and that bleeds. and your heart
bleeds for the oyster. He inserts all
iron that looks like a stove-hook into the
shell, then prizes and grunts, the shell
opens and the oyster sticks to both sides
of it and splits. He saws off the mantel
piece that hold the oyster to the she'll.
and hands you the oyster with something
on it that looks like scrambled OYSTER
The dirt from the shell gets on the oys~s
ter and it is about as much comfort try
ing to eat it as it is to eat o hickory nut
that has been cracked by laying it down
on the side and smashing it with a hat
chet. The oyster opened by an amateur
looks ragged and discouraged, and the
man who opens it looks about the same,
while the oyster opened by a man who
understands his business looks as though
it enjoyed life, and the man who opens
it looks like a thoroughbred who is not
ashamed of his business and knows he
