Yield of Cereals IN 1883.

The last report of the United States Ag-
ricultural Department, which has just
been issued, gives in detail for each State
the production of wheat, corn and oats in
1888.
The area devoted to corn was by far the
largest on record, the total for the country
being 6S, 301 ,Ss9 acres, on which the aver
age yield was 22.7 bushels per acre, giving
a total crop of 1861, O66, 1856 bushels of
corn. This estimate as to the total yield
OF corn is considerably higher than figures
put forth by many good crop authorities,
and are admittedly higher than the yield
of good understandable corn. but they are
given by the department as covering the
entire crop regardless of the quality of the
grain. Much Of this corn was badly dam.
aged before being gathered, but that will
be used for early feeding and go long
way to help out the total supply.
or wheat the acreage for the country
was sc, 393, 2l9 acres, and the total produc-
tion 420. l54, 800, being an average yield of
lis bushels per acre. The oat crop was
the largest ever gathered, the yield being
ST. ,233, 400 bushels. on 20, 1922 ,622 acres, or
ISL bushels per acre. The yield of wheat
and corn by States for 1888 was as follows

Armed and Equipped.

Arm me with jealous care, y are words
familiar to every ear, yet how few there
are who fully realize their full import. A
man to withstand all the attacks Of his
foes, should be always armed and ready for
the battles of life. He knows not at what
he may fall into an ambush and
be compelled to stand for his life and sa-
cred honor. just so it is in our daily lives
The inVidious germs of disease and death
are constantly about us, and enter into our
bodies at every breath. To guard against
these poisonous agents, a medicine is
needed which will fulfill the requirement
of being both safeguard and a remedy.
This is found in PereaaG, and thousands
testify as to it's merits in this regard. The
man who carries bottle of it is fully
armed and equipped for the duties of life.

1t is in vain to answer to such state
ments as the above that figures can be SO
handled as to prove anything. No Free
Trader has yet handled any figures in a
manner to show that wages in 1880 or 1888
are lower than in 1860, or that cost of liv-
ing is higher. They assert the falsehood.
but they fight very shy of any effort to
prove it by figures.
Notwithstanding their pretended conf
dence in the ease with which true figures
can be made to lie. they find it much easier
to lie without using any figures at all.
