Blgness of American Agriculture.
lhe secretary concludes his report with
some interesting figures illustrative of the
magnitude of the agricultural industry In
1900 the fxed capital of agriculture was
about twenty billion of dollars, or four
tilnes that invested in manufacture. In
that year there were nearly five million
seven hundred and forty farms in the
country, covering eight hundred and forty
one million acres, four hundred and fifteen
millions of which consisted of improved
land According to the returns of the last
census, about forty million people, or more
than half of the total population in 1000.
resided ON farms. Of the tWenty-nine mill
ION persons reported as engaged in gainful
occupations, ten millon-more than a third
were employed in agricultural pursuits.
The produce of American agriculture In
1899, including farm animals and other
products, aggregated nearly five billions OF
dollars, The most valuable crop was In
dian corn, $S28,ooo, 900; then hay and
forage, $4s4,ooo, 900; then cotton, $3a4,-

The department is securing Information as
to the quantity OF water used, where it is
used, how much water is required to the
best advantage. Much has been done to
educate farmers and ditch managers as to
the direction i'll which Improvement in the
method OF practice must come. They have
made plans, have shown the need of better
work III constructing and maintaining ca
nails, and have shown that the loss of water
through leakage in transit is far greater
than is generally supposed The large
problems which the complete use of West
ern rivers is destined to create and the
measure of public control which recent
legislation renders inevitable give added in

legal and economic phases of irrigation.

Viola had known Genevievc for some
years. They were 'intimates." A gentle
man loaned Genevicve the story of Mary
MacLane. That was in the summer when
the great MacIanc was a guest of Chicago.
The man, who had bought the book out of
curiosity, said such girl must be "holy
show But the misses OF Milwaukee ave-
nue. did not agree with him. They chose
rather to agree with Mary that she was
genius.
And we are geniuses,' they told them
selves. I'VE will be MacLanes and geni-

So they formed themselves into the
secret order of geniuses. of which Mary
MacLane is an honorary member. Gene

should be, for it is Genevievc who has
chosen to be an actress. The girls think
Gcnevieve is beautiful, and when they are

for them. She thereupon rectes passages
from Ten Nights in Barroom," which is

times. When Genevieve reaches the

right on as though she had leaped the
dizzy height and was safe on the sod OF

"actrcssing.' OF course, she would be

that. Besides, she prefers to be Mac

She liked the way Mary scoilcd at the
aristocrats, "She was of as royal blood
as they'-and that is what Viola would
be. Mary, even in Chicago, was misun-
derstood, and so is Viola misunderstood.
Viola says she knows she is unusual and
that she does many things that other peo-
pie are afraid to do, but a genius cannot
be a coward.

Washington, Dec. A.--The report of the
secretary OF agriculture has been given out.
The secretary opens his report with a
reference to the educational work of the
department, which he says has grown in
effectiveness since his last annual report
lie finds that the demands Of many public
institutions for men to conduct research in
scientific fields and for ability to manage
agricultural enterprises encourage Young
men to take advantage of the opportunities
thus Afforded. The teaching Of the science
OF agriculture and of the sciences relating
to it are receiving more attention in the
colleges instituted for the purpose, many of
which have neglected their full duty in the
past.
Research into the principles governing
the growth of plants has result
ed in increased varieties to select from.
The department is helping the people in
many localities to an intelligent knowledge
OF their soils, and of the most profitable
uses to which they may be devoted The
departments explorers are continuing to
search the Old World for valuable plants
which may be successfully transplanted
here. The purpose is to help toward the
production IN our own country of every.
thing that soil and climate will permit. and
to avail ourselves of our new island pos
sessions to grow such products as demand
tropical conditions.
Warnings for Rural Mails.
The past year affords gratifying evidence
of the value Of forecast warnings Of the
weather bureau in saving life and property.
uaAmple testimony is afforded that the value
lof property thus saved from loss amounts
to many times the cost of maintaining the

did not agree with her mother that one

is rather of the Hans Andersen school.
