Interesting Figures.

The Michigan report for January mainly re-
lates 10 the cost of producing the wheat oat
and corn crops raised by crop correspondents
in 1885. Feb crop is credited with its proper
tionate share of the rental value of the farm
dwellings, because from the nature OF the
case, each must be charged with its proport on
ate share OF the interest, taxes, and insurance
on the dwellings, at the same time that 1t is
charged with the wages OF laborers who ar
supposed to board themselves. and of course
dwell in their own house, or in houses the rent
of which is paid out of their wages The
whole number of reports received is SIT,
representing $50 townships. Five hundred
and sixty-one of these reports are from 4O5
townships in the southern four tiers Of coun
ties. One hundred and eight of these reports,
the same number as in January, 1885, are
made up from accounts actually kept, 1896 are
estimates, and 276 are partly estimates and
partly from accounts. The total area Of i'm
proved land represented is 14,137 acres, of
which 1926 acres, or 1892 acres in each 100,
were in wheat, 6,g6S acres, or $40 acres in each
100, were in oats, and 1852 acres, or 1889
acres in each 100, were in corn.
The following statement shows the cost, as
itemized for this report, Of producing and
marketing at the usual place, one acre of
wheat in the southern and northern counties
respectively and in the state.

CHINESE ideas of discipline are pecu-
liar. A short time since the land office
at Fussu Hong was attacked by thirty
bandits disguised AS regular troops. The
officer in charge defended the place
Lravcly, and did not yield until one of
tie men had been killed and himself and
five others wounded. The robbers then
pluadered the treasury, set fire to the
Office. and rode off. In any other coun-
try the officer would have been COM
mended for his courage, but the Chinese
authorities looked at the matter differ
emily. and he was pronounced severely
TO blame for not having taken
measures to acquaint himself with the
advance of the robbers, and for having
failed to beat them off. He was there
fore cashicred, while the officer in
special charge of the treasury was adj
judged to have larger sum deposited
than he should have kept by him, and
was called upon to make good the loss
TO the public out of his own funds.
