BRITISH INDIA.
The Great Increase In Its Area Nithin
this Past Fortx-Six YaAra

The Great Increase In Its Area Within
the Past Forty Six Years.
An appendix TO the new Indian stasisti-
cal abstract contains table showing the
Increase In the area and population Of
India sincs 1912. In that eyar The area
was 62G, ,0J0 square miles, in 1874 Ii In
creased to 1000, in lSi7 TO 6S4, 900, in
1913 to 199. COO, an so down to 1855
moro or less was added every year ,sY
ccpt 1882 until it reached S33 900 square
miles. =: and in 1851 1t rose to 500. .0J1. ~
this IL remained until 1876, when this In.
creased to $50, 600; in 1889 this rose 10
t63, 1856, and in 1856 to 941 .537 square
mics. So that British India In 1856 was
half as large again as 1t WAS in lS42. Fer.
haps this extraordinary increase will Ia
better understood when put in this way:
Since 1912 al area equal to that Of
France. Italy. and Belgium has been
added to British India, that is to British
territory in India, excluding the native
States. In 1912 Eritish India had an area
equal to that of France. Spain, and tho
German Empire to-day: by 1852 an area
as large us Italy aud Portugal together
was added to this; by 1852 further area
Is large rs Hungary was added. and BY
1882 this wa, increased by the area Of
Holland, and by 1885 an area equivalent
to that of the whole German Empire. ex.
cluding the kingdom of Prussia, was
added to this. The area of the native
states under British protection. which are
not included in the above, 10 roughly
equivalent TO the combined areas Of the
Austro- Hungarian Empire. Spain, Portu-
gal. and lialy.

Hopgrowing succeeds admirably on the
Cumberland plateau. 1t is is wonder the
enterprising farmers there do not introduce
the industry on an extended scale.
! Onions are growing greatly in favor as q
food staple. Physicians unanimously recom-
mend them as botE medicinal and healthful.
The present year has been unusually favoS-
able for onion growth.
The Ohio cabbage trust ut Findlay has
failed, because buyers refused to purchase at
fve cents per head, and the growers have
buried their cabbage till spring.
There is much sweet corn canned in Ohis
and other Western and Northwestern States,
and hence the good food supply of the coun.
try much increased.
Waldo F. Brown ways he has been success
.nl in counteracting the increase of cabbage
worms, by throwing dirt on the cabbages
With the hoe when hoeing them.
An exchange suggests that it is bad plan
to keep cattle of all ages promiscuously in
the same inclosure. Female calves under q
year or up to eighteen months for the bulls,
should be put in a lot by themselves
A writer who has practiccd sheep feeding
warmly recommends a mixture, by weight,
of corn, oats. peas and millet, to every fifteen
bushels OF which one bushel OF fiax-seed
should be added, and the whole ground to-
gether.
Mr.. DeVilmorin, in Mark Lane Express,
favors the sowing together of two distinct
kinds of wheat as giving almost invariably
better yield Of grain than would have been
obtained from the same total quantity Of
either kind sown separately.
Of954 per cent of the total area of Francois
isagricultural lands, the rest being occupied
by towns, cities, canals, railroads, etc There
are 5,672,009 farms, each averaging little
over 2l4 acres. There are 2,167. .667 holdings
averaging less than 1t acre. These are near
cities, and in localities peculiarly suitable to
the vine and garden crops.
Experienced sheepraisers knew that cloth
ing wool of fine, short fiber, is from merino
sheep; combing wool from Cotswolds, Lin

carpet woods, used in this country, are mostly
from the sheep of New Mexico, Arizona and

A sketch Of scene on the battlefield
may bring out the horrors Of war more
vividly than tables of figures Here, for
instance, 10 bit of realism for such as huYs
never seen a battle, which is furnished by
the historian of the Twenty-second Massa-
chusetts Regiment.
In a little shed door sat q man, his leg
shot of, and hanging by the skin. He had
partially stayed the bleeding, and had been
propped against the wall, too weak to 81,
up. Life and hope were strong within
him. He heard the ambulance at Q dis
tance. They como nearer, then recede,
and the alternate hope and despair were
terrible
He offei ed fabulous prices II we would
carry hia on our backs; anything to save
his life
In tho gray Of the morning bis voice had
ceased. We thonght he slept, but his body
stiff and ifeless, was still in the sans posi-.
ton. That long, cold night Of waiting and
hoping and final despair had worn his life
away. A look OF almost savage hopeless
ness about the eyes and half-closed mouth,
In which his teeth were tightly set told
of his indomitable courage for the final
struggle with the unknown.
After sleepless night, our regiment was
aroused. Tho roll was called in whispers,
cartridges were distributed, and we were
prepared to move up to our line of the pre-.
vious Afternoon.
"Why don't yeu get up and get your
cartridges" said Sergeant Knowles, as he
touched with his foot the blanketed form Of
q man who was lying with us.
The man made no movement. Cold and
and little out of patience, the
sergeant stopped, lighted a match, removed
the blanket, and ono OF tho Twelfth Rhote
Island dead was exposed to view. The scr
geant had been trying to issue cartridges
to dead man, and compel him to answer
to roll call.
The soldier had answered hours before;
his duty to bis country was done. And
who knows how that stranger IN our COM
pany died, OR what were his thoughts thas

Celebrated botanists from all over the coun-
