frnei them in the possession Of their lands.
In 1853 these lands were sold to the whites.
The Indians. who now number only nfty-three.
through their chief. brought suit several
months ago for the recovery Of these lands
on the ground that the sale in 1858 was Illegal:
that the lands. belonged to the tribe as a whole
and could NOT he sod.
Their assertion was defeated mainly on the
ground that the present white occupants Of the
land own II In good faith. aud that the Tcheti-
maches hava long since abandoned all tribal
relations, sending their children TO the public

The Dairy Industry.

Geo. H. Whitaker of Massachusetts
says:
The value Of the dairy industry ac-
cording to the census Of 1890 was
$412, 900, 900, but at the rate of increase
Of previous decades and including the
by-products of the dairy, we are safe
in estimating that it is a business to-
day amounting to s500,0O0,00O annual
iy, more than the annual gold produc-
ton of the world.
(b) The number OF mich cows in
the country in 1890 was 16,OOO,O0o,
probably 100000 at the present time,
as against 100000 in 1850, showing
what an immense stride the dairy in
terest has made in the closing half OF
the present century. Yet The increase
Of cows has not kept pace with the
Increase of population, which In 1881
was 23,000,000. In the forty years be-
tween the census OF 1850 and OF 1880
population increased TIA per cent, but
the number OF mich cows in the coun-
try increased only 166 per cent. The
number of cows per 1000 population
in 1850 was s75 and in 1890 only 264.
The percentage OF increase OF cows
was less than the increase OF popula-
ton in the census OF 1860 and Of 1870.
made In 1880 and 1890 showed n gain.
the percentage of increase of cows be-
ing greater than that OF population.
