Con.u mptton Of poultry.

No correct estimate of the number
of eggs and fowls consumed in this
country can be made, while the United
States census report is unreliable from
the fact that a census is taken only
once in ten years, which renders it
difficult to learn what was accom-
plished during each decade, That the
value of poultry and eggs consumed In
this country may be placed beyond the
one-hundred- million-dollar mark is adj
mitted, but it is believed that the value
is much greater than even the most
sanguine have estimated. In addition
to the revenue derived from poultry, 1t
may be mentioned that the fowls at
ford market for a larger proportion
of the grains, animal foods and mill
products of the United States, as they
consume more in proportion to weight
than cattle, horses, sheep or swine, as
we'll as effecting a saving OF many
foods on the farms that would be lost
without their aid. The millions OF
fowls, many Of them owned by resi-
dents in, towns, villages and suburbs
of cities, can not exist without foods,
and the enormous production of pOul-
try and eggs means that the fowls are
large consumers, and greatly contrib
ute to the creation OF markets for
farm products.-Farm and Fireside.

CANNOT LIVE ON. AMAZON.
American Consul at Para, Brazil, Says
Existence Along the River
Would Be Miserable.
In report to the state department

In report to the state department
Louis H Ayme, the American, consul at
Para, Brazil, after trip up the Amazon
river to inspect the agency there and
to gain some information as to the COM
mercial and other conditions, says that
person hardly can make liare living
on the banks OF the Amazon. Il do not
say that the acquisition of fortune or a
competence is difficult, doubtful or i'm
possible says Mr.. Ayme, 'but that such
a miserable existence as would disgust a
Digger Indian would be hardly obtaina-
BILE by one man in 10000 of such as are
thinking of coming here" The consu!
says there is very little grazing land and
that little is held entirely by private
owners.
Mr.. Ayme says he asked man in
Manaos whether he thought young men
with small capital could do anything in
cattle-raising on the Amazon. The re-
ply was that it would be criminal to per-
nit any young man with money and
energy to come and find the grave of
both on the banks of the Amazon. The
consul says there are near the Amazon
some of the most beautiful and valuable
woods in the world, as we'll as fruits,
nuts. oils, balsams and gums, but they
are found as rarely as diamonds in the
gravel. Mr.. Ayme adds that there may
be places in Brazil where colonists might
do well, but he does not know of them.

Just at this juncture the growing Of

lucrative staple crop that the earth
is capable of producing. An admitted
general average of strip per acre is
600 gallons; this at so cents per gal

made as much as 1000 gallons per
acre. The growing fsugar cane in
all parts of the south as profitable
money crop is no longer an experiment,

beyond peradventure that it will be

American farmers are evidently
too unfamiliar with the use Of sui
phate of ammounia as heterogeneous
manure. In Europe it is regarded as
the best and cheapest form of artificial
nitrogen. 1t is claimed that it pro-
duces crops OF higher feeding value
than can be obtained from any form Of
manure.
The essential element of success
in the Clark system of grass culture is
based on his method of so thoroughly
pulverizing every inch of the surafce-

by the soil-particles, so that the root,

the same in both bad seasons, an I'M
