Farming is SO vast an interest that
it's current condition cannot be express
ed In figures. 1t is not capitalized In
stocks and bonds. and Its values are
not quotable from day to day. But any
intelligent farmer can make compari'
son of the general state OF his Indus.
try with what it was six or eight years
ago, and will then realize the immense
gain that has occurred. In fact, the
activity among the railways and the
rapid growth of foreign exports largely
rest ON farm production.
1t is stated by the chief statistician
of the agricultural section OF the
twelfth census that the net additions
to farm resources in the ten years be
tween 1890 and 1900 exceed the value
of all farm investments in 1850. As
the writer referred to puts the case;
THE increased wealth of our farmers,
as the result of their last ten years IL.
Dor, equals the farm wealth Of the ma.
ton reported as the outcome OF their
toll and economies from the settlement
at jamestown to the middle Of the nine
teenth century" Advances on the stock
exchange fade into a small affair be-
side a colossal increment like that. In
the United States to-day there are at
least 100000 farms, or about one to
every thirteen inhabitants. In 1850 the
number was 1,149,O73. In ten years
the number has increased ], 15O,OOO, and
in the same time farm wealth has ex-
panded by not less than $6.50O. OOO, 900.
In the twelve adjacent States of ILL
nois, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas the number of farms has increased
since 1890 from 1923 1922 to 100000.
These States added $500, 1000 to
their farm wealth between 1880 and
1890, and still larger sum in the last
ten years.
The government is not unmindful OF
the vast import Of agriculture. Con-
gress has endowed agricultural col
leges in every State and Territory.
These institutions represent value of
$53,OOO,OOO, and their income Is So
100000. Their students last year num-
bered 1858 The annual national ap-
preparation for experiment stations is
$4,000.
When American farmers note what
is going on in intensive farming, irri-
CATION, cattle-raising. improvements
and preservation Of products. manage
ment of soils, betterment of facilities
to reach markets and new uses for
waste products. they will see that their
industry is truly the most expansive as
well as the greatest. Though the pop
ulation Of the country should continue
to double. inside of forty years, there
can be no doubt that the farmers of this
country. the most scientific and effect
i've in the world, will meet all demands
and be the main reliance for foreign
nations when their own production
runs short.-Chicago Bonds and Mort

New windsor Choral Club.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate.
Another telling success was made by the
New Windsor Choral Club, Friday night OF
last week, with most enjoyable entertain
ment given at the college. A full house,
with many of the audience from the adjoining
towns, testifying to the reputation for good
work already enjoyed by the club.
Each number of the program called forth
spontaneous and prolonged applause, showing
keen appreciation of the charming songs so
delightfully."- sung. :.
The little comedy "Grandmother's Gown, =
gave Just the needed variety to the first halt
of the program, revealing at the same time,
decided histrionic ability on the part of the
young people, who personated the difficult
characters of the play. With lis ludicrous
mshaps, rollicking fun, and delightful music
of "a Night in Singing School" were most
enthusiastically received. 1t is an operetta,
full of action, comical situations, and anus
ing characters, each of which was well taken.
We must, however, make special mention OF
Mike, the typical Irishman, Mr.. Raymond
Anders; Sol Feggio, the lively singing mas
ter, Mr.. Kelso Anders, and the four hnely
gotten up characteristic old maids, all of
whom convused the audience with their cap
ital acting.
The costumes, copied from quaint illustra-
tons of Crawford, were charming and with
the well played accompaniment. by Miss
Lamora Bankerd, added much to the success
of the entertainment.
