THE AGRICULTURAL OUT
LOOK

From statistics gathered by the New |
York Times from thirty-seven states
and four territories, it appears that the
spring outlook for crops is uniformly
hopeful, an abundant harvest being in
dictated. Floods and irosts and absence
of good growing weather have retarded
crops in most localities, and in some
have ruined them, but the acreage under
cultivation has increased, and in the
majority Of cases larger crop is prom
ised than ever before. Winter wheat
will give an increased yield in nearly
every state except Indiana, Ohio, New
York and Pennsylvania. The frost has
done both it and barley much injury in
Indiana, but the loss will be partially
or entirely made up by the gain in corn
and oats. The damage to winter wheat
will prevent more than an average crop
in Ohio; but that is likely to be
gathered, because of the increased
acreage. There, too, a greater yield
of other crops promises to make mp
for the deficiency in wheat, If any
there shall be. More land than last
year is in oats and potatoes. In New
York the wheat crop is short, more oats
than usual have been planted and the
dairy interest is rapidly increasing. In
Pennsylvania, despite an increased acre
age of wheat, the returns will be less
than the average; corn, oats, potatoes
and tobacco have been more extensive.
ly planted than in 1881.
In the grain states west of the Missis-
sippi river the wheat crop promises 70
be much larger than ever before, and
this increase will, it is expected, more
than offset any falling off in Indiana
Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. A
much larger acreage than of last yeal
was devoted TO wheat in Arkansas
| There is one-third more land in wheat
in Colorado with promise of q yield cor
respondingly large. A gain of One-quar
ter in both wheat and oats is expected in
Dakota. In Kansas, which makes grea

of from thirty to one hundred per cent

Fruit promises Il poorer crop thai

orchards in the east. But this is al
apple bearing year, and it is expecte'
that at least an average crop will b

the prospects for the coming session of

The newest wonderful discovery in
Arizona IS a cave IN the Sunset Noun
tains. 1t has never been explored, and
its dimensions are unknown, but the
phenomenon connected with it is the
fact that a strong current of air rushes
into the cave of sufficient force to draw
down into the depths all light articles
placed near the entrance. The roaring
of the winds into the cavern may be
heard 200 yards away from the opening.

The origin of the word newspaper"
Is not, as many people suppose, from
the fact of it containing new things, but
in former time G705 to 1880 it was
customary to put over the periodical

of the compass, n. E. w. s., to show
that the journal had information from
all quarters of the globe, north, east,
west and south. Hence the use of the
word news" before all papers of gener.
