At meeting of the National Asso
ciasion for the Protection of the Insane
and the Prevention of Insanity, held in
New York, DR.. O. F. Dana, in a paper
read by him, gave the following inter-
esting facts: There are at present in
the United States about $4,000 insane
people, or one to TIT of the popula.
tion. Twenty years ago the ratio was
one to 1910; in 1876, one to 953 The
ratio in England is one to $50. BY
sections the ratio is: In New England,
one to 5ss; Middle States, one to 600;
Western States, one to $50; Southern
States, one to LOO. The ratio to
which we may look forward in the fu-
ture is, in New England, one to 500;
West, one to 600; South, one to 800.
In 1881 there were seventy-four State
and thirty.four private asylums. The
cost of maintaining them was $l2, 1000, :
900 a year. The needs of the insane
are want of room in ssylums, separa
ton of acute and chronic patients and
epileptics, improvement in the laws of
commitment, more amusement and
work for patients and separation OF
State asylums from political influence.

BUFFALO, August .3.-Reports received
here today from seventy.iive. towns in
Western New York bcspeak an exception

York has heretofore produced about one
fourth OF the entirc potato product OF the
country, the yield last season having
amounted 10 %, ,000, 900 bushels, against So.
100000 bushels In all the other
Stales. The acreage Is practically the same
as In, 1881, but the summer has witnessed
q long train OF mjsiortunes with re-.
spect 10 this crop. Soon after planting
hundreds Of acres were drowned or flooded
out, while in June and July there was an
excessive drouth, during which time the
potato bugs played havoc with the vines,
All the reports received agree that the
two leading early varieties-the Early
Rose and the Beauty Of Ilebron-will not
turn out over half crop in the western
part OF the State and, 40 far US can BE- as.

ruling price Of potators in this market for
the last crop WIS 80 cents per bushel.
Early in the fall they were sold in con.
siderable quantities for 60 cents, but
when the shortage OF the wheat crop
came to be understood the quotations ud.
vanced rapidly. At so cents the bulk OF
the product was moved, but during the
winter md spring the price gradually
worked up 81 per bushel. ANY serious
misfortune to the late varieties this fall
would begct potato famine. The new
crop is moving at 10 TO 80 cents por bushel,
The yield in the entire State is estimated AT
100000 hnshela. 1t Is fortunate for the
farmers as well rs the public at large That
there Is an abundance OF breadstufIs this
