Nearly all the decline in numbers
for 1894 occurred in the last half OF
the fiscal year. That reported for
last June was little more than a
third OF the total for June 1893, and
was at tie rate Of 100000 Ter an
mum. Since then the balance OF the
movement has been in the other
direction, so that il the same rate be
kept for the whole year the returns
for 1895 will show that the United
States is losing to other countries in
stead of gaining from them. Statis-
tics for the port Of New York for the
month ending with Aug. 2, which
practically covers July, show that
10, 963 steerage passengers departed,
while only il, $40 came in, and of the
latter only about so per cent are re-
garded as true immigrants

DRYING Tomatoes.

Italy is the native home of toma-
toes, where they were called Eve or
love apple. They were brought from
that country to this by one OF their
men being a prisoner. He had the
seed in his pocket and planted them.
In Italy an extensive business is car
ried ON in drying tomatoes to use
during those portions of the year
when fresh fruit cannot be obtained.
According 10 the Italian Rural Rec
ord, tomatoes are grown, for the
most part, between rows of grape
vines. Sometimes the tomatoes are
trained on the lower bars of the trel-
lis to which the vines were attached.
The tomatoes are allowed to remain
in the punches until they are quite
ripe, then they are picked and pressed
in bags made of coarse cloth, which
allows its pulp to pass through, but
retains the seeds and skins. The
pulp is then thinly spread out on
cloth, boards or shallow dishes, and
exposed to the sun to dry. When it
becomes quite dry it is broken up fine
or ground and put into boxes or bags
and sent to market. A large part of
it is used for making soups, but a
considerable portion is employed as
we do tomatoes when preserved in
tins or other cans. 1t is soaked for
few hours in warm water, then
cooked in the ordinary manner.
Heat the tomatoes well in a hot
oven to kill the germ of insects be-
fore put In bags.

The total area of the United States
is 3,570,2 7l square miles, or :, 2S4,-
973, 440 acres; hence it will be seen
that the principal crops produced re-
quire less than niue per cent. OF the
total area. OF course, there is large
part Of the 81 per cent. OF the whole
area not cultivated, which is not now
and never will be tillable; yet 1t
must be entirely clear to the man
who has travelled much in his own
country that the capacity for produc-
ing the necessities and even luxuries
OF life, is practically unlimited over
the immense domain of the United
States. And when we reflect too,
that the yield per acre OF all the
crops named above is pitifully small,
owing to our barbarous methods Of
farming, 1t will be seen that they
who are already groaning because our
productive areas are becoming ex-
hausted are unduly moved in the
wrong direction. We already pro-
duce too much Of almost every crop;
but should necessity demand or high
prices encourage, the yield Of every
cultivated acre in the United States
might be easily doubled.

Two years ago Portuguese fisher
man and his mate, negro, were
given the carcass of a whale from
which the blubber had been cut. and
began to search for ambergris, which
drug was quoted at that time in the
current price lists at somewhere
about $50 per ounce. They found
ia pounds. Many people interviewed
them and wanted 10 give from s25,-
700 to $40, 600 for the lot; but the

Modern oyster culture seems to

done In France to regenerate an in

Amount Of Water for Irrigation.

Amount of Water for Irrigation.
That an excess of irrigation water
is often applied to crops, is clearly
shown by the experiments through
four years Of ]. w. Sanborn at the
Utah station (B. 29). Those plats
which were saturated to a depth OF
eighteen inc les, gave better crol
of wheat than where either more OF
less water was used. The lest results
with timothy was on soil saturated
thirty inches deep The irrigation
water which escaped from the soil by
teaching was slightly richer in the
elements of fertility than before IL
entered, but the amount so escaping
was SO small that the total contained
but small fraction of the solids ap-
piled. These solids are nearly all re.
moved by the soil, from irrigation
water. even when it is applied be-
You'd soil satuiation. Where the
water was applied in small quanti-
ties, the SOL temperature grew higher
with decreasing amounts. Water
applied TO gravelly soils appeared to
evaporate inside Of twelve days. The
seepage OF water from higher lands
may be OF value to those regions
which may adopt irrigation for areas
subject to drouths, though having
sufficient rain to induce percolation
