The farms of America equal the
entire territory Of the United Kingdom,
France, Belgium, Germany, Austria,
Hungary and Portugal. The corn fields
equal the extent of England, Scotland
and Belgium; while the grain fields
generally would overlap Spain. The
cotton fields cover an area larger than
Holland and twice as large as Belgium.
The rice fields, sugar and tobacco planta-
tionS would also form kingdoms of no
insignificant size, and such is the stage
Of advancement reached by American
agriculturalists that it is estimated that
one farmer like Mr.. Dalrymple, with a
field of wheat covering a hundred
square miles, can raise as much grain
with four hundred farm servants as five
thousand peasant prOprietors in France.

The West to Assert Itself

Ichatted last night with one of the
leadii & members of the United States
Senate, a man who has no ambition to
be President of the United State, but
who has a great deal to do with the
public sentiment which chooses candi-
date. He said: 1.-THE next president
ought to DO taken from the West. The
center Of population is now some place
west Of Cincinnati, and SO far in our
history every President has been taken
east of this point. The West is bound
to have a show soon, and if it does not
there will, in time, spring up party Of
the West against that of the Atlantic
