Association, in Baltimore, on next Friday, 22d

The object of the convention is to give an OPP
portunty to the members of the agricultural class
to compare experiences, to learn of improved
methods and successes, to become better acquaint-
ed with each other, and to hear addresses and pa
pers from men from abroad who are of reputation
for in special lines of work or investiga-

opportunity to see and hear gentlemen of such

be present on this OCCASION and trust they will

England, did not overstate the case
when it said that The New York

overwhelming as a monthly or
quarterly magazine, with all the
matter in it's many departments.
Any monthly might indeed be
proud if it could show as distin-
guished a list of contributors az
The independent. In a single de-
partment-its story department.
we find, among Englismen, such
contributors as Sir Samuel w. iBa-
ker, the celebrated explorer; Thorn
as Hardsy, W. e. Norris, James
Payn, F. w. Robinson and Henry
W. Lacy, the weli-known and des-

among Americans we notice the
names of Edward Everett Hale,
Flank R. Stockton, H. H. Boye-
son, Sarah O. Jewett, J. S., of Dale,
Rebecca Harding Davis and Har-
riet Prescott Spofford. The hide

Ivan Tourgeneff, having secured
the only translation from the Rus

In addition, stock dividend with

tensity of sentiment and expression,

voice, the lower notes of which were
replete with the saddest remorse, as she
sighs out her love and grief for one who
never came, though she watched in the
pitiless storm to meet him. She re-
minds us irresistibly of Deschie and
Pasca. This is not feigning. This is
not for the once paid musician. Here
is genius breaking her heart and sob
bing out her swan-song, obliviUus of
the crowd of men, whose scoff and

miration of her admirable air(.) Flow
ers are torn out of button holes and cast
at her feet, and perfect storm of ap-
plause followed. For once she is her

the dark despairing look come to her
eyes and realize that she is again lost to
all sense of goodness or purity.

money to the heather in foreign lands,

try from going to perditiOn. Instead of
spending millions of dollars OH costly

will there be heard songs of praise from
lips, and hearts made inexpressibly
happy, where without this there would
be an schiug void and blasphemy.

The Extent OF Our Dairy Interests.

There are few who realize what an
immense industry the dairy in this
country is. From statistics which have
been compiled-and which we have
reason to believe are corrective find
that there are in the United States
thirteen million COWS that are used for
dairy purposes. 1t is pretty difficult to
say what the average price of those
COWS would be, for some of them are
very valuable, while some are pretty
nearly valueless. Col. McGlincy, the
Secretary of the Illinois Dairymen's
Association, estimates thirty-tive dol
lars to be an average price and, per-
'haps, that would be a fair average
That would make the COWS of the
country worth an immense sum of
money-$455, 100000. In addition to
the value of the cows, there are the
other necessary investments in the busi-
ness, and it is estimated that the money
thus invested will aggregate $4,000, 25Q,-
600; and when we pause to consider that
the dairy has become pronsinent only
in the last few years, the Importance
OF and the energy displayed in the busi-
ness can be the better appreciated.
The East has given attention to the
dairy for many years some portions Of
it-but it has grown up in the West
and what a magnificent growth it has
been-in a little more than twenty-five
years, and the progress which is now
being made in the West is greater thar
ever. To-day Minnesota is a dairy
State. Four years ago she was not
Missouri has wheeled into line and il
displaying great vigor in dairy matters
Dakota and Nebraska and Kansas ant
Montana will take high rank among
dairy sections, and the three former art
already taking steps in that direction
Even now there is almost fifty per cent
more money invested in the dairy thar
there is in banking. Ii is estimated
that sixty million acres of land are de
voted to the dairy; that there are sever
hundred thousand men employed in thu
business; that there is paid to the la
borers in the business hundred anC
sixty-eight million dollars annually
that there are 6,750,000.00O gallons q
milk annually produced. These figures
can be carried further; and tleyield o

will be sufficient to give an iiea OF thu
