The Future Americans.

Some idea of the importance of for
eign immigrations can be formed from
the statement that the immigration for
the year ending June 30th, 1882, 1885,
600 people, was equal to the population
of either Maine, Connecticut or Min
nesota, and the indication are that this
rate of immigration will be maintained,
il not increased, for number of years.
Another important feature of immigra-
ton is the fecundity of that portion of
our population. The census of 1880 is
said to not show the difference between
the increase by births in this country of
people of different nationalities, but
the Canadian census has kept track of
this matter, and similar conditions I'M
doubleday exist ON this side of the line.
Their census gives the nationality and
descent of every inhabitant of the do
minion. 1t shows that for every Ger
man immigrant who settled in Canada,
there are to-day 1913 persons of Ger.
man descent in that country. That is.
the German by natural increase, have
multiplied nearly eleven fold. The
Scotchman has similarly increased 81
fold, the Englishman "a, the Irishman
l, the Italian "a, and the Scandina-
Wan 81. The German therefore in
America increases twice as fast as the
Anglo Saxon, and more that twice as
fast as the Irishman. With some $780,
600 Germans pouring into this country
annually to enforce their millions of
brethren already here, it looks very
much as if the United States would
become largely Teutonized in the near
future, with the addition of Celtic
mixture. The effect of this sdmixture
of national and race traits will be the
most cosmopolitan people, in another
century, of any country in the world, q
people who, under the favorable opera
ton of benefcent climate and of free
institutions which will permit the exer-
else and development of every form of
thought and experiment, will combine
less Of the narrow and clannish and
more of the liberal and progressive
characteristics CT human nature than
any other nationality can possibly
achieve. When the 2,000th century is
reached, the American nation will have
taken on its permanent character, and
not before.

sus, l,34S, 1922: the rate per cent. was 81.
10 is obvious that II the computation
was not accurate in 1870, rs possibly il
was not, the value OF the comparison is
correspondingly reduced. A slight
variation in the mode of collecting
statistics in the two periods would make
a great difference III the results, II.

ance with which the two sets of returns

cies would be- very large. Inasmuch as
Gen. Walker has confessed to the errors
Of 1870, generally and specifically.
perhaps it will not be wise to attach
too much importance to the COMPARE
sons made in this table. ..t
The reported increase in the number
of farms in New England was, as might
be expected, comparatively slight. In
Maine it was 8 per cent, in New Hamp-
shire 8 per cent, in Vermont 8 per cent,
in Massachusetts, (where Gen. Walker
points out probable error in the GEN.
sus of 1870 40 per cent, in Connecti-
cut 20 per cent, in Rhode Island Is
per cent. The in crease in N. Y. was IL
per cent, in Pennsylvania 23 per cent.
The Southern States show crafty
ing increase, most of which is undoubt-
eddy genuine, in the number of farms.
In Virginia, where the negroes have
become landholders in larger numbers
possibly than other Southern State,
the increase is reported at 60 per cent,
in South Carolina it is 81 per cent, in
Georgia 50 per cent, in Mississippi 80
per cent, in Louisiana 70 per cent.
Kentucky and Tennessee, where the
same causes have not operated to the
same extent, show but Al per cent. and
40 per cent of increase respectively.
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio report an
increase of but 26, 20 and 26 per cent.
respectively. There has been some
breaking up of large farms in these
States by deaths and other causes, and
much swamp and other waste land has
been brought under cultivation. Some
of the increase in Illinois also has been
due to the sale of railroad lands and
the cultivation of pastures in conse.
quence of the building of railroads.
The greatest increase has been, as
was natural, in the far Norwestern
States and the Territories. The in
crease in Iowa has been Sc per cent,
in Oregon ia per cent, in Washing
ton Territory 100 per cent,
The growth in the number of farms
has been healthy and nominal. There
have been no signs of a position to
hold lands in large quantities except in
California and Northern Dakota, and in
the Southwestern States and Terrific
ries, where much of the land can only
be used protitably as cattle-ranges. 1t
is, and will long continue to be, for
the interest of the people at large that
SINAI! farming shall be generally prac-
ticed in this country, and there is
happily no present reason to fear that
there will soon be any serious departure
from this custom.

Weather, Facts and Probabilities.

As we are passing through q period
OF very accumulated and trying atmos-
pheric changes, the following ten short
rules, by the use of which person can
stand beneath his own vine or fig tree,
in any part OF the northern hemisphere
north Of latitude fifteen, and for hum
dreds Of miles around him, and form an
accurate opinion Of how the wind and
rain is progressing, may be Of value.
They were supplied to the Farmers club
Of the American institute by scientist
Of New Jersey.
l. When the temperature falls sud.
denly, there is storm forming to the
south OF you.
2. When tho temperature rises sud-
denly, there is storm forming north
of you.
3. The wind always blows from
region of fair weather towards region
where the storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds always move from
a region where storm is in progress to.
ward region of fair weather.
B. Cumulous clouds always move
from region of fair weather toward
region where the storm is forming.
6. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or northwest.
there will be rain in less than twenty.
four hours, no matter how cold it may
be.
z. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southeast,
there will be cold rain storm on the
morrow, if it be summer, and, if it be
winter there will be snow storm.
s. The wind always blows in circle
around storm, and when it blows
from the north the heaviest rain is east
of you; if it blows from the south the
heaviest rain is west; if it blows from
the east the heaviest rain is south; If
it blows from the west the heaviest rain
is north of you.
8. The wind never blows unless
rain is falling within on, thousand
miles of you.
10. Whenever heavy white frost
occurs, storm is forming within one
thousand miles north or northwest Of
you.

The Girl That Everybody Likes.

She is not beautiful-oh, no nobody
thinks to call her that. Not one of a
dozen can tell whether her eyes are
black or blue. Ii you should ask
them to describe her, they would only
say "She is just right" and there it
would end.
She is merry-hearted, fun.loving.
bewitching maiden, without spark Of
envy or malice in her whole composition.
She enjoys herself and wants every
body to else do the same. She has always
kind word and pleasant smile for
the Oldest man or woman; in fact, / can
think Of nothing she resembles more
than sunbeam, which brightens every
thing it comes in contact with.
All pay her marked attention, from
rich Mr. Watts, who lives in mansion
on the hill, to negro Sam, the sweep.
All look after her with an admiring
eye, and say to themselves, "She is just
the right sort of girl"
The young men of the town vie with
one another as to who shall show her
the most attention, but she never en-
courages them beyond being simply
kind and Jolly; SO no one can call her
q firt; no, indeed, the young men
would deny such an assertion as quickly
as she.
Girls-wonderful to relate like her,
too, for she never delights in hurting
their feelings or saying spiteful things
behind their backs. She is always
willing to join in their little plans and
assist them in any way. They go TO
her with their love affairs, and she
manages adroitly to see Willie or Peter
and drop good word for Ida or Jen-
ME, until their little difficulties are all
patched up, and everything goes on
smoothly agaiD-thanks to her.
Old ladies' say she is delightful.
The sly witch = she knows how to
manage them. She listens patiently
to complaints of the rheumatism or
neuralgia, and then sympathizes with
them 80 heartily that they are half
cured.
But she cannot be always with us.
A young man comes from a neighhor-
ing town by and by and marries her.
The villagers crowd around TO tell him
what prize he mas won, but he seems
to know it pretty well without any tell
ing, to Judge from his fate. So she
leaves us, and il is not long before we
hear from that place. She is there the
woman everybody likes.

Farms In the United States.

One of the late census bulletins ex-
hibits the number of farms in the Uni
ted States in 1880, 1870, 1860 and 1850,
and the rate per cent. of Increase from
1870 to 1880. Francis A. Walker, late
Superintendent of the Census, in q
note made before his retirement from
Office, said:
The table shows no results which es-
pecially required notice, except in the
case of Massachusetts,. The figures for
this State seem to prove that the agri-
cultural statistics Of 1870 were taken
very loosely, and that the number OF
farms in the State at that time was
greatly understated. The great increase
in the number of farms from 1870 to
1880 in the Northern, Western and
Pacific States and the Territories is of
course satisfactorily explained by the
rapid settlement of those regions during
the past decade. The great increase
in the late slave States, especially in
the cotton region, is readily accounted
fer by the subdivision Of the large
plantations Of ten and twenty years ago,
by reason of social and industrial
changes conseq1snt on the war, and
also, IN the case Of Flcrids, Arkansas
and Texas, by immigration.
The whole nLmber Of farms in the
United States in 1870 Vas found to be
2,659, 9S5. In 1850 the number vas
