The Speed OF Modern Steamships.

Thirty years ago sixteen days was q
fair allowance for the passage between
England and New York by steam. By
gradual steps the point was reached
when eleven days was the minimum, and
this startled the world. Then began
rivalry between the Inman and White
Star lines, attended by succession of
runs showing gradual increase of speed,
which proved great advertisement for
these lines. In 1871 the average time
of twenty-four crack voyages by these
lines was eight days, fifteen hours and
three minutes. The Adriatic's best
westward time was forty-three minutes
less. 1t should be remembered that the
westward passage is generally longer
than in the other direction, owing to
westerly winds and the Gulf stream. In
emulation of this speed in 1878 the City
OF Berlin, OF the Inman Line, made
trip TO Queenstown from New York in
seven days, fourteen hours and twelve
minutes, and in the same year the Brit.
annie, OF the White Star Line, crossed
from Queenstown in seven days, ten
hours and City three minutes. In 1879
g new rival appeared in this field, the
Arizona, of the Guion line. This steam
ship made the eastward passage in 1880
in seven days, ten hours and forty-seven
minutes, and in one trip in 1881 she
lessened this time about three hours.
This seemed to be about the best that
could be expected of these superb ships,
when the new Guion steamer, Alaska,
after number of astonishing runs,
accomplished the westward passage be-
tween the two ports, on April Is, 1882,
in seven days, six hours and twenty
minutes actual time, against heavy seas.
In subsequent trip eastward she ran
the trip in six days and twenty-five
hours, actual time. In this, the quick
EFT passage ever made across the Allan
tic, the Alaska travelled 2,895 knots,
being about an average of 418i knots
per day, for seven successive days. 1t
will be observed that the increase of
speed has been graduated in proportion
to the gradual increase OF size. The
ships of 1850 were rarely much over
$500 tons, and were barely 800 feet long.
Now the average length of ocean steam
ers is upward of 400 feet, while 500 feet
is not uncommon. The City of Rome is
$50 feet long, and registers 1926 tons;
the Servia is $50 feet long, and $500
tons; the Alaska is $40 and 6,932 tons.
The Austral, intended for the Australian
trade, is 474 feet long and forty-eight
feet three inches broad, and registers
$500 tons. The measurement of this
vessel, and of the new Cunarder, Cepha-
lonia, which is 440 feet long by forty
six feet beam, indicate that the reaction
against extreme length has already COM
menced in the great ship-yards of Great
Britain, being in each of these cases less
than ten beams to the length. Century

"QUIz' says that some years ago a
Philadelphia gentleman married a
young woman because she behaved so
admirably when, at dinner one day, the
waiter spoiled two breadths of a beauti-
full silk dress by spilling soup over it.
She smiled and joked about it in so
good-natured and calm mood that he
fell in love with and married her. Some
time after their marriage he referred to
the incident. She said she should never
forget it as long as she lived. Then he
told her that that was when he made up
his mind he would like to marry her.
Yes" she answered, Il remember be

cisely with ours in Kansas. Moreover,
orchard grass starts readily from seed,
spreads rapidly, and, so far, has not
been molested by the white grub, al
though in some instances the blue grass
surrounding the orchard grass plat has
been totally destroyed. Perennial rye
grass has been tried without satisfactory
result; it makes too feeble and hest
tating growth. and furnishes too little
heritage to be really valuable. Gains
evergreen grass, or, as / suppose, tall

good success; it grows rapidly, endures
drought well, and furnishes large

Michigan Crop Reports.

The value and success of the present
system of crop reports now in use in
this State is becoming more and more
clearly apparent. At the outset many
farmkrs were opposed to the system of
issuing official reports Of the prospects
and outcome of the various crops. 1t
was claimed that these reports would
prove of more benefit to spectators and
dealers than to the farmer, and, in fact,
would be used to decrease the value of
farm products. That they were wrong
in their views is now plainly shown by
a careful observation of the practical
results that have followed the publication
of these reports. In the first place, it
must be remembered that dealers and
business men must and will have such
reports even if they have to secure them
Mt their own expense; and in the West
ern States railroad officials, who have
land to sell, make it n point to collect
and publish them. These reports, for
various reasons, are generally highly
colored, as will be seen by reference to
those published this spring from the
Northwest, where there are as yet no
tSbNIilhiltu SNSbtIlS vi Vic pdit VI tDt
States and Territories for supplying such
information. Were such reports TO go
out from all the States, the results would
be at once apparent in the fluctuating
effect they would have upon the market
price of the various farm products, and
in stimulating gambling in grain OPP
tons. But in n number Of the most
important States, such as Ohio, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Indiana and
some others, State officials collect from
the farmers themselves condensed re-
ports of the prospects and outcome of
the various crops, and these act as q
corrective on the sanguine and often
exaggerated reports put in circulation
by interested parties. The last report
from Mr. William Jenney, the present
efficient Secretary of State, will show
what we mean. Full details of the
widespread damage experienced from
the rains during harvest were placed
before the farmers of the State, and
enabled them to Judge understandingly
of the probable results on the markets.
The promptness with which this was
done reflects credit upon those who
have this work in charge; and we have
seen this report copied into all the lead
ing papers of the country-agricultura
commercial and political.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-09-08

The best measure of the value of
these reports is the attention that is
given them by the commercial press and
grain dealers of the country. They
know and appreciate their value, and
often, while insisting upon their mae
curacy, base their calculations upon
them. The farmer has an equal chance
to profit by them that the merchant or
Spectator has.
SO far as our own State is concerned,
the thoroughness with which these re-
ports have been prepared for the past
three or four years is worthy OF all
praise, and they are becoming more ex-
tended and therefore more valuable AS
the officials, aided by experience, perfect
the system by which they gather this
information. Mr.. Jenney has given
decided value to them, largely, we be-
lieve, because his knowledge of the
wants of the farming community was
learned in practical school, and he
certainly deserves great credit for the
marked improvement made under his
administration.
We believe the time will come when
this work will be placed under the con-
troll of separate department of the
State Government, but until it does we
hope to see the State Department in
the hands of some practical farmer of
enlarged and liberal views, 80 that the
value and Importance of these reports
may be increased, and the work that has
been done by Mr.. Jenney in establishing
it on practical and thoroughly system
atized basis be not lost. Uuder con-
tinuance of the careful personal super
vision it has had from Mr.. Jenney, it
can be made still more useful in the
future, and the farming community
should see that this is done-Mjchigon

Our Population.

The study of the drifts of population
in our country is an interesting one.
The center of population is moving
westward at the rate of about fifty miles
every ten years. In the census OF 1870
1t was little east of Cincinnati. The
census of 1880 shows it in Kentucky,
about eight miles southwest of Cincin-
natl. 1t has moved on nearly the same
parallel. In the next decade it will
probably move slightly north, for as the
barrier of the Great Lakes Is passed an
immense territory opens to the north
west in which population is pressing at
tremendous rate. Should the present
rate Of immigration continue, the center
OF population will cross the Mississippi
river about the mouth of the Missouri,
in sixty or seventy years. 1t is thought
by some statisticians that 1t will never
reach the great river because there are
large mountain tracts toward the Pacific
not adapted for the support of large
population. This is true, but it is to be
remembered that the sterility of the
Rocky mountain region is balanced by
the greater number of parallels that are
included in our western domain. At
break away indefinitely toward the west.
But even these mountains, with the val
leys between, may yet sustain large
population while both north and south
the mountains open into fertile valleys
and plains that reach almost without in
terruption to the Pacific. The travel of
emigration henceforth, parting in what
are now the Middle States, will divide
and move in two columns, the one north
west and the other southwest, and each
of these can march on until they reach
the ocean. To the northern division the
great Northwest will open prairies and
valleys Of great fertility along the Red
river, the Yellowstone and the Colum.
bia, even to Puget Sound, with climate
for the most part temperate and fruitful.
To the southern division Of this army Of
occupation the Southwest will open al
most boundless plains to the gulf, and
across the lower spurs of our mountain
ranges to the marvellous climate and
productive soil of Southern California.
It is the experience of travellers that the
barriers of mountains are greatly re
duced on nearer approach. Valleys and
passes unseen in the distance come into
view. And so the walls OF our Western
mountains, that have been supposed to
bar our Westward march, disappear as
we approach. They are granite gate
ways to wealth-they open paths for
population. They will not stop the
march of q nation that claims for Chris
tan civilization o continent from one
ocean to the other. Already three great
railroad lines bind the Western ocean to
the Eastern. Along their paths the peo-
pie are pressing in TO take possession Of
the land. And probably in o century
the geographical center Of the continent
will also be the center Of population and

Broad Tires for Wagons.

A Detroit city ordinance will require
broad tires for wagons used in the city
after April /, 1888. One extensive
brickmaker has already made the change
and finds it an advantage to himself
Larger loads can be hauled by the same
team and with greater ease. Here is a
hint for farmers and teamsters in the
country. If load can be hauled easier
with broad tires on a pavement, they
certainly would be a still greater adj
vantage on dirt roads. If they were
once tried they would never be aban-
doned. And what help they would
be to the roads. The question of hav-
ing good roads would be half solved.
More injury is done to the roads when
wet by heavy loads on narrow-tired
wagons in few days than there would
he in a whole season with broad tires
Heavy wagons in the city will have four
inch tires and lighter ones in proportion
Such tires have been in use in England
for long time. and immense loads are
drawn there without cutting up the
roads.-DetrOit Post.
