the value of the buckwheat and haxseed
produced at $500, 000 the orchard product at
S., COO 900, and the garden products at $780,
600. During the year 1880 there were made
q, 9O5, 1856 pounds of butter, 2SS,s07 pounds
of cheese, 1898 pounds of maple
sugar, 227,sSO gallons of maple
molasses, 395,27s pounds OF honey.
The wool clipped during the year was $685.
OBJ pounds, and assuming the State was as
productive of these articles in 1882 as in
1880, their value may be set down at 81, 500, :
600. and including poultry and eggs at
S., 100000. As a result we have as the
product of the farms of Indiana for the year
1882, the sum total of sl2S 112, S41. If to
this we add the value of slaughtered AMI
mails, say $40 OO0. OO0 we have as the result
OF one years farming operations sl6S' ll2''
341. In the production OF wheat, Indiana,
considering area, is at the head
of the list of wheat producing
to farming she occupies position in the
front rank; and that, too, at a time when
not more than one-half the area available
for farming is under cultivation, and when
thousands of those who till the soil are
oblivious of that knowledge which compels
the earth to yield its most bounteous contri-
buttons to the wealth of the State. But a
new era is dawning in agriculture. Farm
ers are beginning to properly estimate
the dignity of their profession. Sci
ence offers its aid and ignorance
is yielding to its bene6cent proposals. The
future promises triumphs in agricultural
pursuits in Indiana which in their grandeur
will dwarf past and even present achieve
ments to Insignificant proportions. We
are to have in the near future students of
soils and seeds and manures. Where one
blade of grass is now grown dozen are to
spring forth to tell of the triumphs of the
educated farmer. Science and common
sense are to 60 hand in hand. Agricultural
Fairs will grow in importance, and the
farmer, equipped with such knowledge as
nature approves, spplauds and rewards, will
stand up and stand forth as the representa-
tive man of the times. The bearded wheat
and the tasseleG corn will own his sway.
Improved herds will herald his triumphs
and Indiana will proclaim him her bene +,
factor.

The School Book Question.

Superintendent Holcomb yesterday gave
an opinion on the question of q change in
school books. He SAYS:
While there seems to be. no law directly pro-
hibitiHg a County Board from making an
adoption of sext books to take eject six months
OF year in the future on the expiration of a pre-
vious adoption, vet think suon action would be
highly Questionable and certainly contrary to
the intention of the law. The composition of tn q
County Board might De entirely changed before
the end of Fix months, or, If not changed, cir
cumstances might have arisen that would ma %
n change of policy desirable. Indeed. seriously
doubt the binding force of adoption of books
before the necessity for ii has arisen, that is, Dc
for the expiration of the previous adoption.

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets


Provision Markets.
ISDIAEAPoLIs, March 20.
Dizziness was the characteristic OF the general
merchandise markets to-day. as on Monday, the
unusually cold weather for this time of the year
probably being the chief cause. When the back
bone of winter is once fairly broken, our mer-
chants look for good trade. Since the first of
the month, however, trade has been steadily i'm
proving with dry goods men and grocers, and
this check is only to be of short duration likely
All kinds of farm proudcts are bringing good
prices, and one of the most promising features
of the situation lies in the fact that farmers were
never in a better condition financially than at
the present time. Eggs are coming in literally;
prices steady at quotations. Poultry Is little
of; prices tending lower Choice butter contin-
ues to meet with ready sale at full prices but
off grades are dull and in large supply Pora-
toes reported firm, but the demand is chiefly for
small lots. Clover seed is firm and higher. Fine
cheese Is in demand, and some dealers quote a
shade higher than our quotations Beans con-
inue quiet; dried fruits more active
The sugar market continues fairly active, and
prices have been ruling steaoy for some time
past. AS regards coffee, the situation remains
unchanged. Every now and again an attempt is
made to get up q boom, hut it is of
short duration. The Boston Commercial
Bulletin says "The market for Rio is sick and
embarrassing. There is very little disposition
on the part of consumers to buy beyond moder
ate quantities., and sellers refrain from pressing
goods, fearing to depress prices The receipts
continue large at Rio and shipments fair. There
is little disposition to drop prices with I'M
easiness as to the probable large crop to come
notwithstanding the ott-repeated asserI ion that
nature never produces more than two good
crops in succession There seems to be an un-
usual apathy on the part of Western buyers to
bite sharp. Java has continued to display the
same activity as of late. September coffee i5
