The cattle, being all at pasture now

they run quietly there, and do not lack
for pure water, aud for shade in the heat

the dairy COW Of today is IA different ami

lions with view To increasing the milk
production, until little COW weighing
500 pounds now gives more pounds of
milk in a day than used /, Oc the average

will make upon good pasture In June,
If she begins feeding at six O'Clock in the
morning and is not MIXED for twelve

milk from the teats. The animal cannot
eat all it would, because to do 80 pro-

be benefited by feed of grass on Satur-

however, needs to be taken not to carry
this thing too far, especially when the
work is very hard.

Increased Acreage

The last monthly report of the Depart
nent of Agriculture shows that the
breadth of cultivated area increases very
largely each season. In the newer States
aud Territories, settlement Is rapid, and
each year new areas, almost equal to
States In their aggregate, are given over
TO the pillow, while in the older sections,
east, of the Mississippi River, new farms
are carved out of hitherto undeveloped
lands. The rapidity with which this ex-
tension has gone on during recent years
is perhaps scarcely realized. In 1879 the
four principal arabic crops, corn, wheat,
oats and cotton, occupied 1873, 900, OO0
acres; In 1888 this area had increased to
l50, 900, 900, an enlargement in nine years
of 81 100000 acres. This increased
breadth in four crops alone more than
equals the entire area of the three North
ern New England States. while the in
crease In three of the crops, corn, oats
and cotton, exceeds the total area of the
great agricultural State of Ohio. II the
increase in all titled and grass land has
been in the same proportion as that In
these four crops, we have now d tota
area of improved lands In farms of $50
600, 900 acres, against 2S5 ,000,O In 1879
or al Increase almost equal to the tota
surface area of New England, New YorE
and New Jersey, and equallng the entire
area Of improved land in 1880 in the elev-
en- cotton States, with the addition OF
Delaware aud Maryland. Few realiz,

tural possibilities, and the difficulty which
even trained statisticians find in keepin.

Helpful Hints.

A Soap Centennial.

Since the centennial of Washington's in
aUguration is to be celebrated in such regal
style throughout the country, another event
cannot be overlooked, which all loyal citi-
zens should sanction and give thanks for
the invention and existence OF PEARS
SOAP. 1t is the purest, cleanest, most ele-
CANT and economical of all toilet articles.
therefore the best and most attractive of ali
soaps. As complexion specific it cannot
be equaled, and its other sterling qualities
render it Invaluable to any one who wishes
to be cleanly.
One hundred years has it been held in
highest esteem, and this year is the anniver-
sary of Queen Charlotte's visit to Pears
establishment, where she purchased this
valued article for her complexion. She
prized Pears soap above all others, and
"set the style" among her subjects, who
used it as well as every other people
throughout the civilized world, therefore
conclusively proving that Pears soap is
without peer.
