terms fyears when the production took
an unusual stride, seasons were special
ly favorable, or new regions were open
ed by the building of railroads, cattle
ranges were enlarged, etc. Since 1880
the increase in production has not been
so largely out Of proportion to the in
crease of population. There has been
sowing down of the rapid speed Of
the decade from 1870 TO 1880. Since
1887 there has been falling off of the
wheat area, and yet there has been an
increase if we take into account the en-
tire period since 1880. The increase
Of the area for oats more than balances
any loss of area for corn. Hence there
has been steady increase in the food
for animals as well as increase in ami
mails to consume it. Let MS look at a
few figures the corn crop of 1889 eX-
ceeded that of 1887 by more than 6jG,-
600. 900 bushels. but taking into ac-
count the cost Of handling and prices it
will bring the farmers 500, 100000
less. Tables covering the corn product
Of twenty years show that Just in pro-
portion rs corn has increased in area
and consequent quantity, the profits
have declined. The price of corn in
the home markets in December 1889 (
was IL per cent less than ever before
reported This has resulted from the
great crops of the past two years. In
1860 the ratio of cattle 10 population
was 81 to'l00. Prices were low. The
ratio fell in 1870 to 81 and the price
went up. The ratio from that time
until 1889 gradually rose until it reach
ed 80, and the present decline in prices
is the result. While the supply of cat
tie remained below y to 100 the prices
were good, and the demand was suiiic-
lent to absorb the supply. Theconclu-
sion Of the matter is, that in the histo-
