The dairy products Of the United
States for one year amounted to 1854
900, 1000. We are in the habit of look
ing at this branch of farming as one
OF large extent, writes Rhode Island
expert to the New England Homestead.
butwe find the poultry products for the
same year to be $3.50, OOO,O 900 or more
than twice as much and still not
enough, for during the samo year 49,
O0o, 600 dozens of eggs were imported
and the total value of poultry and eggs
imported was probably $40, 900, 900.
This $40, 100000 ought to have been
linSling in the pockets of American
farmers and poultrymen rather than
to have been semitic foreign countries
Even the little state of Rhode Island
used from outside of the state about
$ooo,o oO worth OF eggs. Britain i'm.
ported eggs and poultry to the value
OF 1861, 900 sterling or s27,637,25O
London alone used other than ENGLISH
eggs to the value of $6,9l5. 400
France reckoned the value of her
poultry products at S77, 900, 900, from
which she furnished her own pe ople
and exported largely. This large
value we find derived mainly from the
farms. With such figures before us.
Q growing population, and surety
that as cost of production is decreased
by skillful management that consumn.
zion of poultry products will be-
largely increased, we may rest assured
OF q market for some time to come.

rich enough, sarcastically observes the
New York World, to offer a reward

be of slight interest in New York

The Laureate of ENGLAND rises 70

The Laureate of England rises to a
higher poetical as we'll as moral level
when he sings OF an alliance between
England and America than be did when
he rhapsodized the raid of jameson
and his men upon the Transvaal re-
public. His last effort is really not
at all bad, though he does not ap-
proach the poetry of William Watson's
appeal to the towering daughter of
the West" written soon after the Ven
ezuela message. But why can't we
hear from that genuine poet and
Anglo-American, Rudyard Kipling?

s. From the martyrdom of Crittenden,

be about 995, 600. That is to say, it
has nearly doubled in the past eight

to three per cent. interest on a debt
OF five billions Of dollars, or about
twice the amount of the entire In.

Gilbert Stuart, the artist, who made
so familiar to Americans the features
of Washington aud his wife, was once

One of the artists asked Stuart for

he was inserting a thumb and finger

them to his nostrils.

not to take it. Snuff taking is a vile

gentleman.
'Sir, I can't help it," replied
Stuart. ''Let me tell you a story.

wrench, roared out:

emphasized the remark by taking an
enormous pinch of snuff.

Scotchman, built the first snuff mill
ever erected in New England. -
