would not have been possible 100 years
ago to have published such a work for
less than $250.00 per set; instead of $2.5O 30;
but many new inventions have been used
to achieve such surprising result. No
royalty is paid; the copy is, we believe,
transferred to plates by some photo
graphic process; and this once made the

by great steam presses, running day and

seem as If the mere paper in these 80

THE HAY CROP


The notable dryness last fall, through
out the largest hay producing states of
the west placed the conditions of grass.
at the time of the first snow fall. at a
very low condition. But is was generally
thought that the condition was not such
as to preclude the possibility of a fair
crop this season. The snow fall was
light throughout most of these states,
thus leaving less than the normal amount
of moisture on meadows, when spring
opened. Then, during the time when an
unusual amount Of rain was needed to
advance the condition of the crop and
avoid the threatened failure, there was a
season of utter drOuth. There has been a
good deal said of this drouth, with refer
ence to it's effect on the winter wheat
but it's effect on grass was quite as bad
and the damage then sustained added to
the already low condition. has impaired
the possibility of even fair yield in all
parts of the country between the Allie
ghany and Rocky mountains, with the
exception of the Northwest. In Iowa,
the rains last spring were not early
enough, in all parts, to bring the crop
out, while in the three states of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas there was a heavy
fall of snow the moisture from which
carried the grass through the dry spell
nicely, and since, followed by an abund-
ance of rain, the crop promises to be UNI
usually large.
In the acreage mown, there will no
doubt be large decrease from that of
last year. The census of 1889 shows an
aggregate of 59,94S,747 acres mown, while
in 1898. the next year favored with gov
eminent estimate, there were 1858, 1859
acres harvested. Last years estimate
showed a still further decrease in acreage
mown, being placed at 4S,321, 272 acres.
The yield last year was placed at 81, S74-
a NJ S16Q S7S 40
greater part of the hay cut between the
two continental mountain ranges, is
raised in the states most affected by the
drouth of last fall. and the past spring.
Minnesota and the two Dakotas, where
prospects are so exceedingly good. are
credited with having cut 4,05SS15 tons la st
year. This was from an area Of 4O77, 464
acres, or yield of nearly ton per acre.
II these three states last year, taken alto
gether, raised about a ton of hay per acre,
it would probably not be far out of the
way to say that this year, they will cut so
per cent more.

CHAMBERS ENCYCLOPEDIA.

Encyclopedia. When the matter was
first brought to our attention it seemed
to us so impossible that thirty volumes

thousand pages, could be sold for $3.50

1t has been evident for some time that
the Cuban revolutionists have at their
command plenty of money. They are
from time to time purchasing arms and
ammunition and small vessels and send
ing agents to this and other countries
to work for their cause. All these
things cost money, and round sums Of it.
The story is sent out from Washington
that two sources from which the Cubans
obtain funds are the Standard Oil Com
pany and Havemeyer, president of the
sugar trust A theory advanced is that
under the proper new government the
Standard Oil Company and the sugar
trust are to receive special privileges
which would reimburse them for their
outlay. Rumor has placed Mr. Have
