Great Future For Agriculture.

1t cannot be said that there is any
thing pessimistic about Secretary
Wilson, OF the Department of Agri-
culture, for he assuredly is an opti-
mist Of the first water, if we are TO
take his forthcoming report as re-
fecting his real opinions. He says
that had we cultivated our farms on
a more scientific basis, we would have
raised crops far in excess of the de-
mands. lie then predicts that as the
demand increases the American
farmer will be adequate thereto by
more scientific farming. Here is
specimen of his optimism. He says:
mo miracle would be required 10
double or even treble the production
of cotton per acre. The corn crop
can be increased by one-half per acre
within the fourth of a century, and
yet without reaching the limit, and
the same may be said OF wheat and
other crops. One-fourth Of the dairy
COWS of the country do not pay for
their feed, and more than one-half of
them pay no profit. The egg produc-

least dozen year within a genera
ton, while some poultrymen foretell
double that increase. II the hens of
this year had each laid a dozen eggs
more than they did, the increased
value of this production would have
possibly aggregated $4,000, 900"
The Secretary follows this with some
very pertinent suggestions, saying:
The farmer will not fail the nation
IL the nation does not fail the farmer.
He needs education to open the pow
ers of the soil now hidden from him.
The work OF the department has al
ready had results valued at hundreds
of millions of dollars annually, and
yet has barely crossed the threshold
of it's mission OF discovery and edu-
cation. American Cultivator.

Marking the Trails.

The self-appointed task Of the en-
thusiastic pioneer from the Puget
Sound country, who is now engaged
in marking the course Of the old
Oregon trail, is one that should have
more than a sentimental interest for
the people OF the west Two Of the
three great overland routes formerly
followed by the pioneers are now
marked by great lines Of railroad, so
that their course can be easily traced
Still it. would seem that the historical
importance Of the highways followed
by the traders of those days Of west
ern development should have a more
fitting recognition than that given
them by private corporations or in.
dividuals. The Government could
spend more money in less meritorlous
service to the public than by plainly
marking the Santa Fe. the Overland
and the Oregon trails.-The Omaha

Bicycle FiQures,

There are at present 100000 bi-
cycles in use in the United Kingdom.
One person in every twenty in Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland rides n
bike" This proportion of bicycles
to population is far greater than it was
in America in the palmy days of
cycling. And throughout Europe hi
cycling, which has been abandoned as
a sport i'm the United States, is popu-
lar. There is now and then talk in
this country of revival of cycling
Whether there will be revival is a
question time alone can answer, but
there are cogent reasons why there
should be.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Canary Nursery.

Germany carries on large trade In
the export of canaries. Every year
she sends no fewer than 10000 OF
these birds to America, 5000 to Eng
land, and about 1000 TO Russia. The
great nursery for the breeding of ca
naries in the Hartz mountains. Many
Of the peasants are engaged in the
work of rearing the birds, and receive
wages of from $40 To G25 year for
their trouble-an important addition
TO their earnings. Many canaries
come also from the Black Forest. but
they do not fetch such high prices as
the Hartz birds. not being considered
such good songsters.

OLDEST DIAMOND FIELD.
Central India, Whence kohinoor is
Supposed TO Have Come.


In recent report of the Geological
Survey of India there is nm interesting
account Of the Parma diamond fields
of Central India, says the Indian
Pioneer Historically this country is
believed to be the original home of
the diamond. and from them II is sup
posed that the famous Kohinoor was
extracted some three and half cen
turies ago, the earliest diamonds dat
ing some % years previously.
OF late years India has quite retired
from the field as a precious stone pro-
duCer 10 any extent or value. but from
the account given il should be worth
the while of small syndicate TO take
up these diamond fields and work
them Systematically, though II is said
that neither in mstre nor price do
the stones found compare with the
yield of South Africa.
The methods, however, now In
vogue mean merely superficial treat
ment, following the lines which have
been in vogue for centuries, with the
probable result that the strata con
tanning the most valuable deposits of
stones are not reached. From "A geolo-
gical point Of view there are said to
be diamond bearing conglomerates
over several areas, which would ad-

A story is being told To the effect
that Emperor William while on a hunt

many took breakfast at the castle of q
young newly married couple. The soup
was served en- tasse and the Kaiser,
who was busily engaged in conver-

and sugar, thinking il was tea. The
hostess was too shy TO call atten-

ar were brought in' and the Kaiser
added them to the soup. When he
