THE STATE AGRICULTURE.
ProI. Hamilton Gives Some Interesting Figures
for PENNSYLVANIA Farmers.

Prof. John Hamilton, secretary OF ag-
riculturc, has issued advance sheets of
his annual report OF 1909. He suggests
a library in connection with his depart
ment and a small museum. The gener-
al condition of agriculture in this State
compares very favorably with other
States. He adds
Pennsylvania in area OF improved
farm land, stood, in 1885, tenth among
the IS States of the United States; in the
value OF her lands, fences and buildings
she was fourth, and in the value of farm
implements and machinery she was sec
ond. In the number of milk cows she
was fifth, but in gallons of milk she
was third, and in the pounds of butter
she was second. She stood tenth in
amount of wheat. eleventh in corn and
oats, first in rye, fourth in hay, sixth in
tobacco, seventh in potatoes and ninth
in apples. Taken altogether, the total
value of her farm products placed her
fifth among the States"

A Myatery OF the Sea.

One Of the most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores in 1858. The is
land Of Coryo was then in the possess
sion of two runaway British sailors.
One morning there drifted ashore a
craft which had evidently been frozen
in the ice for long time. 1t was an
ancient and battered brig, without
masts, bulwark or name, but the
matches were on, the cabin doors fast,
and the hulk was buoyant. She had lit
tie cargo, and that consisted of skins
and furs in prime condition.
No papers were found in the cabin,
but it was figured that she was a
sealer or trader, carrying a crew Of
10 or II, and that she had been pro-
visioned for a year. Fhe -four was
spoiled, but the beef was perfectly
preserved. She had been abandoned
when frozen in an iceberg and drifted
for years. The date of the letter found
in the forecastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half
century before. The two sailors got
out the furs, which eventually brought
them $4,000, and two barrels Of beef
and then set fire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found Of it's name or owners.
