continues to whistle cheerfully
through its Secretary. He declares
that it is not on its last legs, although
little set back, and that it can sur

CuriosIties OF Statistics.

Let us observe what our farms and
Farmers are annually producing for
every man, woman and child of the
country's population. The year 1880
produced for each person thirty bushels
of corn, nine bushels of wheat, eight
bushels of oats, one bushel of barley,
two-ffths of a bushel of rye, one tenth
Ofa bale of cotton, three pounds of wool,
two-thirds of ton of hay. half a pound
of hops, two pounds of rice, ten pounds
of tobacco, three and half bushels OF
Irish potatoes, and half bushel OF
sweet potatoes.
OF animals there was one hog for
every person, one horse for every five
persons, one mule for every twenty
eight persons, one milch cow for every
four persons, and two sheep for every
three persons. There were fifteen and
a half pounds of butter and half
pound OF cheese made for each person,
and the cows averaged siXty-two and a
half pounds of butter each for the year.
Although our farm products seem inn
mense in amount it is an astonishing
fact that If every acre of Illinois was
devoted to wheat for one year, and the
average yield should be the moderate
amount of fifteen bushels to the acre,
the crop would exceed in amount the
entire wheat crop of the country for
the last year. If the state of Missouri
was wholly planted with corn, and
should give a moderate yield of forty
bushels to the acre, the aggregate
would equal the entire corn crop OF
the country for the year 1850. The
state of Kansas alone can raise beef
enough to feed the present population
of the country. When we have ten
times the present population, and
when all our lands are rs well cultivat.
ell as the valley of the Nile, the aggre-
gates of the farm products will be eX.
pressed in figures difficult to compre-
hend. Agriculture is becoming chem.
istry. and husbandry is becoming
mechanics, so that one good man 10,
day can do as much work upon a farm
as four men did fifty years ago.
