The statistician Of the Department Of
Agriculture Of the United States esti-
mates that In 1881 the population d
this country will be 1870, ,000. 900. and the
census bureau agrees that this is con-
servative estimate. To supply the re-
ouirements Of this number Of people
Will necessitate the production Of 700,-
900 900 bushels Of wheat, 1,250. .000. 900
bushels Of oats, 345, 100000 bushels. OF
corn, 100, ,000. 900 tons Of hay; and cot
tom, tobacco and fruits and vegetablea
in proportion. To produce this Inn
mensely Increased quantity OF food and
kindred products will necessftate the
bringing under cultivation Of an addi-
tfonal 160 900 900 acres Of land, and 1t
II estimated that we have only 108.-
OO0, 900 acres available for cultivation.
OF course these estimates do not take
into account the efforts Of Secretary
Wilson, of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, whereby every acre will event.
ually produce double its present crop.
Nevertheless these statistics present
matters for serious reflection. and
should bring It home to every thought

day offers the best aud safest invest

fattening yards are conducted. These
yards are large plants with lots, some
thing like the stock yards of the large
cities, only smaller in size. The geese
are placed in the enclosures and fed
for heavyweight and fine finish to be
dressed for market. AS many as TO-
900 geese are gathered at one or two
points in Massachusetts, and fed in
this way for the winter markets. 1t

Toulouse are the result OF union of
the efforts Of the French and the Eng

the China geese came. perhaps. from
the Asiatic countries.
Recently. at the Boston Poultry
Show. was exhibited the finest lot OF
geese that have been shown in this
country for all time. One pair Of
Embden (pure white geese) reached the
enormous weight Of 5S pounds and the
Toulouse (gray market geese) almost
eQualed them in size. Next to these In

for the rearing of what are known as
the mongrel geese.

Feeds Fowls Automatically.

A farmer in Oregon, who owns q
small poultry farm, has devised a novel
method Of feeding his chickens during
his absence. In each yard he has
erected troughs to hold food for the
hens. and these are connected by wire
with an alarm clock in the farmhouse.
When the owner leaves home in the
morning he sets the alarm clock at
the hour OF feeding the chickens, and
an ingenious arrangement, when
the time arrives, the alarm goes on,
the connecting wire releases the
troughs. and the food is spread before
the hungry fowls.

INSURGENTS IN FORCE.
2cOO of Them Are Within Few Miles

Havana, SEPT. 1.-THE only results
for the suspension Of hoStilities have
been that Liberal leaders. who hither-
10 have had every reason for anticipat-
ing arrest. are circulating openly in
Havana and even comforting with
members of the government with re-
gard to peace, and that such Insurgents

while they express themselves as all
ready to settle matters amicably, at the
same time assume an independent at

that time is not known here.
All accounts agree that there are cas-

east of Havana and rumOrs are in cir
culation that they will enter the city
peaceably if they are not molested. but
they will fight if they meet with re-
sistance. All visitors to insurgents
camps in Havana province return
with this impression, but it is believed
no attempt will be made against Ha-

demand was made upon the Constancia
plantation for 1900 rounds of ammuni-

which arises. The blucjackets are
available for landing at any time and
they will be supplemented by the ma

ers and hattleships. 1t is not expect
ed that the naval forces will be used
for any inland operations. If that be-
comes necessary.
Where there is specific feeling. pre-
parations are going forward at the
war department TO meet anything that
may arise if it should be necessary for

that troops and transports will soon be
available and only await orders in

SETTLEMENT POSSIBLE.
Sec. Taft's Visit Expected to Bring
About Permanent Peace.

washington, Sept. 17.-Commander
ColwelI, Of the cruiser Denver. at Ha-
vana, telegraphed the navy department
today that all was quiet in Havana.
Hostilities formally ceased yesterday.
a definite settlement of the troubles
seemed very possible today.
This reassuring dispatch. together
with the visit of Secretary Taft and
Acting Secretary Bacon indicates that
the movement toward peace in Cuba is
well underway.
At the same time no changes have
been made in the naval program. The
New Jersey was ordered to proceed to
Havana, and is no on her way. By
wireless the navy department was in
formed this afternoon that the Louisi-
ana and Virginia had passed the Chesa-
peake capes and were sailing south
ward at a speed of Il knots an hour.
The Newark sailed from Norfolk this
afternoon, and the Minneapolis will sail
from League Island tomorrow morn
ing.
The Des Moines will arrive in Tampa
bay at midnight. The ship will pass
quarantine without interruption. The
train bearing Secretary Taft and party
was reported three hours late this af-
ternoon. so that the Des Moines will be
ahead Of time and ready to take them
on board when they arrive.
The Dixie, which left Havana last
night IS expected at Cienfuegos to-
morrow afternoon. A report has been
received from Cienfuegos saying that

ra's force. which now is variously re-
ported to be from 20 to 40 miles distant,
The general impression is that the
presence in Havana harbor of the
American cruiser Denver will not act
as q deterrent to such a movement, the
auxiliary cruiser Dixie having gone to
Cienfuegos and the cruiser Des Moines
having gone presumably to bring to
Cuba Sec. Of War Taft and Assistant
Sec. of State Bacon.
The announceemnt from Washington
that American vessels Of war will pro-
tect British as well as American in
terests, is taken as applying especially
to CienfuegOS, the English owned Gu
ban Central Railroad has been obliged
to suspend operations ana has suffered
considerable damage to its property.
The Western Railroad. also a British
enterprise, is not now suffering special
damage except in the vicinity Of Ha-
rana. and it is expected that traffic
on this latter line will be completely
re-opened tomorrow.
