The truth of the business is that there
is no more fertile region in the country

pine lands have clay subsoil that is

a little guano dropped on these lands
will run them distracted The whole

CENSUS .STiTESTICy.

The census statistics relating TO gain
ful" occupations show some significant
results as to the employment It women
and children. The whole number of
females reported ss pursuing gainfu oc-
equations in the United States in 1870
was 1886 .2SS. In 1880 the number
WAS 2.647 1871, showing an increase
during the ten years Of $40. 500. This
result shows that tie number Of females
engaged in occupations has increased at
a much higher rate than the number of
males pursuing occupations. 1t further
appears that the rate Of increase in the
number Of females pursuing occupations
has been far higher in manufacturing
aud mechanical industries that is, in
factories chiefy-than in any other
kind Of employment Similar results
are shown by the census statistics with
reference to the employment Of children
In 1870 the whole number between ten
aud fifteen years Of age reported as pur-
suing gainfui occupations was 739, l64

su increase during the decade Of &c.,
1872. The rate Of this Increase was
greater than the rate Of increase in the
population between those ages, and 1t
was also greater than the rate Of increase
In the number Of adults pursuing gain
ful occupations As in the case Of
children. the rate Of increase in the
number employed has been greatest in
factories Nearly three hundred thou
sand more women. aud about sixty thou
sand more children, were employed in
manufacturing industries in 1880 than
