From the Last census Reports.

The number of people who own theil
farms is largest in the new states of the
west, and the smallest number is in the
south. This is due to the facilities
which the cheap lands of the west and
the homestead laws have given for ao.
quiring farms. On the other hand, the
more prosperous states of the south have
comparatively few farm mortgages The
following is table of the states having
the smallest number of farm mortgages,
with the percentages of farms under

An apiarist of long experience has this
to say in The Beekeepers' Review re-
garding upward ventilation:
My conclusion is that upward ventila.
ton appears to increase somewhat the
tendency to an accumulation of feces,
and also, at least in this experiment, to
decrease the strength of the colony, and
if this appearance is real we may con.
olude that the upward movement of the
air disquiets the bees and causes lar
ger proportion than otherwise would to
leave the cluster and perish.

What Farmers Think About.

Under the system of diversified
laborswhich Andrew Jackson, who
was at heart a sound Protectionist,
would promote, the country might
regard good crops with more COM
placency and satisfaction. When
farmers hear of the immense corn
and spring wheat crops that are ex-
pected they wonder what the price
will be. The mere chance circum-
stance of a shortage in the Europe
an yield alone prevents wheat from
falling to the low prices that were
current last winter and spring.
The prices would be still more ru-
inous had not home industries pro-
vided that home market which the
founders of the Republic so ear
nestly desired. If we produced at
home the products which we need
lessly buy abroad, corn, wheat and
meat would command better and
steadier prices than under the
Free7Trade policy which would
make this country so dependent
upon the European markets.

ELECTION METHODS.


From the National Liquor Dealer.l
Every good citizen is in favor of
protecting the purity OF the ballot
box. What is meant by protection
of the ballot box, is simply that no
one not entitled to vote shall vote
that the voter shall be free to vote
without being watched that the
voter shall not be unduly infiu-
enced by bribery, either directly or
indirectly.
The new ballot Jaw requiring reg
stration; preventing electioneer-
ng near the voting booths; pro-
Viding tickets in the polls with all
candidates; providing heavy pun
ishments for violation of the law,
is certainly a great improvement
over the old method that permits
the ignorant and illiterate voter to
be bought and delivered at the bal.
lot x; that permits the voting
places to become a scene of riot,
n ed dIsgrace.
OF course bribery of the voter
can h. carried on despite the'pre-
cautions OF the law, but there is
mote risk in paying money to
voter who can't be watched as to
how he votes. After the election
is declared the elected man in or
der 70 qualify must take an oath
that he has not influenced a voter
by either money or promises, d.
rectly or indirectly.
Every good citizen can see that
the law is good enough, If properly
executed bribery would not pay,
the use of money in the purchase
OF votes would only bring punish
ment upon the violatoIs of the
law.
No class OF citizens are so much
Interested as the retail liquor
dealers in fair, untrammeled cleo
tions, and as good citizens they
should in season and out of season
demand purity in elections. 1t is
customary to charge the liquor
men with influencing elections
They are the only class OF business
men whose business is Interfered
with by quirements to close their
houses as il they were dangerous
to the community. If the Aus.
tralian system Of voting were car
ried out there would be no excuse
for closing the saloons.
The closing of the saloons on
election days is a direct injury to
the saloon men and infiicts a Sc
rlous injury upon a class of law
abiding, good citizens.
The closing is a fraud so far as
drinking is concerned. II the sa-
looms were open the men who
would drink would have to pay fcr
their drinks. AS it is a supply OF

WASHINGTON, Nov. t6-The annual
report of Gen. Craighill, chief of engi-
neers, to the secretary of war, has
been made public. He says that since
the date of the last report the board
has prepared projects for the artillery
defense of Philadelphia, Key West,
San Diego, the mouth of the Colum bia
river, Galveston and Puget sound. AL
lotments have been made during the
year for emplacement for fourteen p

guns and eighty 12-inch morcars to be
distributed among Portland, Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
Hampton roads, Charleston, Pensacola,
Mobile, New Orleans and San Fran
cisco.
Gen. Craighill favors carrying on
river and harbor improvements under
continuous contracts, for which APP
preparations have been made in sundry
civil acts. The financial statement
shows there was expended on rive rs
and harbors during the past fiscal
year. exclusive of the Mississippi river
and the Missouri river commissions
expenditures, the sum of 5,44O,-

THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
Wheat Market Perplexing-Corn Product
VIII Exceed All Demands.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-R e. Dun 6
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, says:
The scare about gold exports had no
real significance, and. although s., 250,-
600 more will go out to-day, the stock
market has been recovering. There
was and is a substantial cause of diff
Guilty in the fact that exports of pro-
ducts have been too small to meet the
greatly increased imports of merchan-
disc. The collapse of Kaffir specula-
tions abroad has forced many to rea-
lie on Americans held, and the inn
preston that our government may
have to borrow again also operates to
our disadvantage. But there is no local
disturbance of money markets.
Wheat perplexes the oldest inhab i.
tant. There is really little reason to
expect a yield larger than last years,
but western receipts of 5000. 864 bush
els, against 4.O26, $50 last year, do not
mean a scarcity of wheat. Probably it
is true that the attempt to induce
farmers to keep back their wheat in
July ohas ended, as usual, in much
bigger sales at lower prices in
November, and prices have now
declined so far that, for the first
time in many months, Atlantic exports
exceed those of year ago, having
been for two weeks flour included
$3.50, 1874 bushels, against 8, 1913, Ill last
year. The decline, nearly 1 cent, is
not much, but does not mean conf
dence in renewed advance.
Corn is scarcely lower, but without
the aid of the government report all
know that the supply will largely ex-
ceed all home and foreign demands.
