The acreage of com has increased 6 per cent, and the probable yield is estimated at 175,000,000 bus beta. Oats and rye are more than doable the acreage of 1881, and of the former the heaviest crop erer harvested is expected. A great increase ia also shown in other crops and in the number of farm animals as compared with hut year.

Ajdvanom sheets of Poor's Railway Mannal show that in 1881 there were built in the United States 9,358 miles of railroad, tho greatest in any one year, making a total of 104,813 mites. The gross earnings were $725,325,119, against $615, 401,931 in 1880. Dividend in 1881 were $93,344,200, against $77,115.411 in 1880. The editor says : "It ia certain that for a long timo to come a mnoh

greater extent of mileage will be constructed annually than was constructed in tho past or than will be constructed in the present year. The area of the United States (excluding Alaska) equals 3,000,000 square miles. The whole of this area presents an attractive field for the construction of railroads. In almost every portion of it these works are rapidly progreening. The railroad mileage of the United States rose from 52,914 miles in 1870 to 104,819 miles in 1881. At a similar rate the mileage in 1890 will exeeed 200,000. Fobtt Mexican soldiers, acting under orders of tho customs officers, attacked a camp of smugglers near Piedras Negras.

Thbbx are no indications of an early

adjustment of the labor difficulties in the Pittsburgh rron-rnanufacturing district. Tha first regular meeting or the lately-organized Iron aiid Steel Association was held in Pittsburgh last week, and the feeling was unanimous that it is impossible in the present state of the iron trade to consider for a moment the demand of the strikers for increased wages. The policy of

The null-owners are apparently satisfied with the situation, and the striker are equally determined not to return to work until their demands are granted.

A Wily asm Treaeherenf) Beast, There is no creature in the world so eonning as the elephant, and no creature, moreover, ho foil of duplicity. Its cleverness at simnlating attachment to its keepers can only be equaled in the hnman race by the hypocrisy of the slave toward hut master. The elephant in the Jardm de Plautes in Paris never forgave bis keeper for having made him ridiculous before the crowd assembled to witness his performance on a penny trumpet, which the poor man had been at tlie greatest jiains to teach him. A note came out in "J'ai dn bon tobao," with a shrill sqneak, when it should have been deep contralto. The creature waa Tain of its artistic skill,' as all artists are, and flinging down the trumpet made a charge against the iron bars of its cage which sent the crowd flying right and left in the ntmorit terror, while the keeper, who fortunately had time to creep through the opening left at the bottom of the cage for the purpose of escape in time of danger, ran oat of sight immediately. He never dared enter the cage again, for he knew by the expression of the creature's eye that the grudge was owing still. The new keeper wisely withdrew the penny trumpet, and " J'ai dnkontobae" was beard no more.

A Pleasant Experiment with Salt. Do you want to grow fait and at the same time have an interesting, handsome ornament? Tho proceeding is a novel nhemical experiment that may be tried by any one. Put in a goblet one tableKpoonful of salt and one spoonful of bluing ; All the gublet two-thirds full of -water, and set it in a position where it will huve plenty of warmth and uunlight. In a little whilo sparkling crystals will oommonoe forming on tho outside of tho fflaas, and it is both a novel and interesting sight to watch it gradually growing lay by day until the outside of our goblet will be entirely covered over with U-autiful white crystale. Another variation of this beautiful experiment would bo to take a goblet with-the boso broken off and fasten it in tho center of a thin piece of board, which may 13 round, etijuare or oblong. After the crys'ials have formed on the glass, set it on a tinv wall bracket, and place a bright holiday or birthday card in front of it ; this will hide the base, on whibh no crystals will form. After this is done fill th goblet

with flowers or dried grasses, and you will have a vase which will cost comparstivel.v little and in reality adds to the bric-a-brac of a room. We wonder how many of tho young readers of the Tim: can tell us how it is the crystaln of salt form on the outside of the goblet? Troy 3VK!A THE SCiXPIL'S SECRETS. Condition f Gailean's Remains sail Disclosed by the Aulupsy Dr. Lamb's Special Report of the Case, The Medical JVoca, of Philadelphia, prints the official report of the post-mortem examination of the 1 ody of Charles J. Guitoau. The report is signed by "Dr. Lamb," and ia dated Army Medical Museum, Washington, Jul; 4 : TBI OFFICIAL BIPOST. By reason of (ha delay, for which neither 1 nor my assistants were responsible, the examination was not begun until 2.30 o'clock p. m., ono hour and a half after death, inconsequence of which the photographing was lets successful! and a cast was hn practicable. The

body, which was of a faint, yellowish tint,

was tnat or a man aoout uve icet seven inches in height and weighed 140 pounds. The

eves wero examined by Dr. Loring, who reported the pupils slightly and equally dilated. Tito vitreous was cloudy and tho fundus undistiuauishable : the conjunctiva of the left eve was

congested. He repeated the examination two

ieii ear auu uiu uieuuiu uue ui tue uuau. The rhtht parietal bone was slicbtly flattonid

over a space of about two inches square, jiut back of the fronto parietal suture, and to the riirhl of the inter-iiarietal there was a sliehtlr

flattened elevation on the corrcsponrtine internal surface of the calvaria. The frontal sutuiw was obliterated, bnt the other were quite dis

tinct, a number oi paocuionian depression were observed near the groove for the longitudinal sinus. In thickness the skull presented nothing remarkable.

The dura mater was firmly adherent to the anterior portion or the calvaria in the vicinity of the longitudinal sinus. There wore adhesions of the dura also to the base of the skull ; they wero quite firm, and situated in the several fassae, and most marked in the deeper parts of the fassae, where also there were small patches, abruptly limited, of immovable arborescent congestions, with, however, uo attendant thickening or pigmentation. This stagnation was again marked in the left, anterior and middlo fassae. There was no congestion of the dura, except at the points just noted. The dura and pismater were adherent to each other, and to the brain on both Bides along a limited portion or the longitudinal fissure, hi ths vicinity of the pacchionian granulations. The dm was slightly thickened along the longitudinal sinus. It waa also slightly thickened and opaque along (be portion of the lino of the middlo meningeal artery on each sido. The araohuoid of the upper convexity of the brain presented in many places, where it covered the sulci, small patches of thickening and opacity, elsewhere it waa normal. The piametor was annunic anteriorly; posteriorly there wis slight bypastasis. The cerebral vessels appeared to be normal in all respects, Tbo orbital plates were well arched, and presented many conical eminences of huge size. There was no roughening anywhere of the inner surface of the skull. Tho brain was firm. Its weight, includiug the cerebrum, cerebellum, pans and medulla, and a portion of the dura, waa 49 ounces. It was slightly flattened m the region corresponding to the flattening of the parietal bone abovs mentioned. On j section of the cerebrum thure was the appearance of a slight thinning of the graycartex. The measurement taken, bowever, gave depths of 1-16 to inch in qIom proximity to each other. The white substance was almost absolutely ansmic Ths cerebellum and island of Bad were both covered on each side. The fissures generally presented considerable depth ; in many places, as in the right fissure of Rolando, amounting to seven-eighths of as inch. The right fissure of Sylvius was typical; ths left was separated from the first temporal futaun by a slirht bridge deeply situated. The right fissure of Rolando did not connect with the fissure of Sylvius; ths left was separated only by a small bridge deeply situated; both were separated from the longitudinal fissure. The first frontal fissnro on the right side was not connected with tnat of Rolando, but the posterior part was crossed by a secondary fissure. The same was the case on the left side, exoept that the fiseuro was crossed by a small bridge near its center. The second and third frontal fissures presented nothing remarkable. There were numerous secondary fissures. The preeentral and retrocentral fissures, on each side, were well defined, and were unconnected with the other assures. The inter-parietal fissure on each side terminated in the transverse occipital, separated only by a slight bridge. The parieto-occijiital fissure was well marked on each side. The transverse occipital nasuro on the right fide waa ill-dofined ; it began on the median tarface and extended well outward. Th first temporal nature was well developed on the right side ; on the left it was not of the usual length. Wernicke's fissure waa well marked on the left side, bnt was not confluent The calloso marginal fissure was double on each side, the upper of the two being probably the tine one. On the right, tho Upper one extended back to the anterior margin of the araoentral lobule ; on left, not quite so far. The lower one extended on the right side to a Una about half an inch in front of the parieto-oe-oipital fissure, from which it was separated by n small bridge ; on the left side, also, by a bridra of lamer size. On ths right side were seven fissures radiating from the circular fissure auRounding s mall isolated convolution. On the left aide were fire fissures radiating from a small, shallow depression. The left collateral fissure was well defined, extending to the anterior extremity of the temporal lobe. The right was also well marked, bnt did not extend so far back a the other, and there was an attempt at confluence anteriorly with the temporo-occipital, a small bridge intervening. The left tomporooccipital fissure was welldeflned. The following alone call for remark : The ascending frontal convolution was well defined on taoli side. Ths ascending parietal on the right eiilo was well developed in it lower threefourths, but narrowed in the upper fourth. On the left side the narrowin, was less marked. The inland of Reil presented on the right side five fissures, and six straight gyri ; on tho left side seven fissures and eight straight gyri. The paracentral lobule was well marked on the right iide, small on the left. The usual median incision was made, and the abdomen opened. There was au extravasation of blood into tho right pectoralis major musclo near the second rib. Tne adipose layer of the abdominal section was one inch in ttiickuoH. The dome of ths diaphragm extended np to the fourth rib on each dde. There were old pleuritic adhesions at the apex of the right lung. The upper and middle lubes were eongenitally united by a connective tissue. The lung iras normal throughout. There were also old pleuntio adhesions of tho left lung to the diaphragm and between Its lobes; three small, tubercle-like, pigmented patches were observed in the upper lobe. The heart weighed ten and three-quarters ounces. Its muscular substance was apparently normal. There was an abundance cf fat upon its anterior surf ace, and a nllosa patch of old pericarditis near the apex o the left ventricle. The right ventricle contained a little blood, just forming a clot The valves were normal. The aorta was slightly atheromatous for a short distance above the valves. All of the abdominal viscera presented large accumulations of fat They were normally situated. The liver was congested. The gall blikddor oontained a little bile. The spleen waa tabulated and enlarged. It weighed eighteen ounces. Tho capsule was bluish ; substance brown. The malpighian bodies were hypertrophied.

A New Breed of Swine.

A writer on swine sayn of the Jersev

reds, a comparatively new breed of

swine : " The most notable qualities of

the Jersey red are health fulness and docility. It was these traits that induced -me to try them, preferring, like others, a hog not so liable to cholera, even if not so handsome as somo breeds. They are also very easily cared for in consequence of their remarkable docility a trait which seems to show that they are descendants of a breed well cared tor. Their fecundity is also remarkable Litters are rarely below ten pigs in number. Practical farmers who have tried them for crossing are much pleased with them for this purpotie. One Jersey farmer has raised and slaughtered during tho past 16 years 30) hogs alut 21 months old, that have avenged 638 pounds dressed weight One crop of eighteen killed during the past winter, of about the same ago, averaged 71J8 pounds, snd pigs 9 months old weigh 300 to 375 pounds. They fatten at any age and have string constitutions. They are like the Poland-China, an American breed." Shade for Fowls. Where fowls have free range of course they can find shade somewhere, but when confined to yards that are destitute of bushes you must provide some shelter from the burning rajs of the midsummer sun. Of course they can go into their house, bnt then they don't like to ; thev want some shady place out of doors wfiere they can loaf and wallow in the dust, and talk over affairs. The proper thing for shado in a poultry yarn is a currant bush. There is nothing better than a big currant bush, except a whole row of thein. When a hen can wallow in the dust under the currant bushes, reach up and pick the green currants, or the ripe ones, she is just as happy as she ever expects to be in this world. So wo advise you to set out currant bushes this lall or next spring; bat while you are waiting for the bushes pat Up a cheap, open shed of almost any old refuse lumber that you may happen to have on hand. About the quickest way to grow shade in a poultry yard is to plant a lot of artichokes ; if you put them in thick enough the stalks and leaves will when grown fumisji a dense bade. What raxtoy Farmers Have Sons. They tested theories while others raised oropn for market ; they have given a glory to farming it otherwise would not possess. Fancy farmers have changed the wild bog into the Suffolk and Berkshire, the wild cattle of Britain into shorthorns, the mountain sheep, with m Lean body and hair fleece, into the Southdown and Merino. They brought up the milk of cowa from pints to gallons. They have lengthened the sirloin of the bullock, enlarged the ham of the hog, given strength to the shoulder ol the ox, rendered finer ,t ho wool of the sheep, added ileetness to the horse and made more beautiful every animal that is kept in the service of man. They have improved and hastened the development of all domestic anintalii until they scarcely resemble the ones from which they sprang. Fitacy farmers introduced irrigation and Biiderdraiuing; also grinding and cooking for stock. They have brought guano from Peru and nitrate of soda from Chili, They introduced and domesticated all the plants we now have of foreign origin. They brought out the theory of the rotation of crops as a natural means of keeping up ad increasing the fertility of the soil. They ground up gypsum and bones, and treated the latter with acid to make manures of peculiar valuo. Thoy first analyzed soil as a means of determining what was wanted to increase its fertility. They introduced the most improved methods of raising and distributing water. Fancy farmers or fancy horticulturists have given us all our varieties oil fruits, vegetables and flowers. A fjney farme? in Vermont a few years ago originated the Earlv Rose potato, which added; millions of dollars to the weidth of the country, and proved a mo.it important accession iu every part ol the world where introduced. Another of these same men originated the Wilson strawberry and another the Concord grape. But it is unnecessary to enumerate ; any one who will take the trouble to investigate a little or reflect, will readily see and will cheerfully accord ths praise that is justly due to the men who are called "fancy farmers." San Francitoo Chronicle.

Itorseahoeins;. Some affirm that there is no necessity for shoeing horses under any circumstances, but it cannot be avoided in many cosed. Horses cannot work on stone pavements, nor on icy roads without being shod. There is no doubt that farm horses .are shod more than ia needed. On most farms very little attention is paid to the care of horses' feet. The dry plank floors of most b tables are injurious to feet, having a tendency to mate them dry and brittle, instead of touf'h and elastic as they should be, whether they go without shoeing or not. E ir';h floors ere much the best for the feet, and stone or cement are better than plank. There is much difference in horses, some L aving flat, brittlehoofs,that will break oJT and keep them tenderfoofctd even while colts in the pasture, snd others have tough hoofs that will bear a great amount of wear without shoeing. If those that are brittle are kept properly trimmed they will not bo so liable to break, and if they are kept moist and do not stand on hard dry floors the year round they will often improve. The expense of shoeing and the injury that is liable to be doc e to the feet by ignorant smiths, render it advi sable to do all that is possible to prevent the necessity for shoeing ; but some attention is needed. If the colt is not shod from the beginning he will get along withont shoes much better than if he is shod at first, and afterward made to go without. Form horses that go on the road but little and are kept at slow work will do without shoeing, but for driving on the road there are few horses and fow roads that will enable them to go without shoes. A horse-shoer should be more than a good mechanic. He should understand the anatomy of the horse's foot, and be able to apply his knowledge in the construction and fitting of shoes to each individual horse or foot; adapting the shoe to the hoof and to the work the horse has to do, and not try to mat ) every hoof work to the same style of shoe and fastened in the same manner. Every blacksmith now is a horseshoer whether he knows anything about a horse or not, but the time should come speedily when horse owners shall demand for horseshoeing men of skill in that branch, those who have mastered Home of the principles involved and who understand their business. It is cruelty to the horse and loss to the owner to have shoeing poorly doue, and it rests entirely with ownets and drivers whether it shall be so or aot. Detroit Jot.

Creese Herding. Various methods have been devised of exterminating wild geese without avail, until geese herding has become a profession as distinct as herding or trapping. In the early winter the geese appear in the grain oonnties in myriads, traveling abont in vast flocLi. Their hunger is insatiable, and the new wheat is rapidly destroyed. Sr. J. H. Glenn, whose ranch in Colusa eounty covers most of the arable land in that county, numbering 75,000 acres, or nearly twelve square miles, expends about $10,000 in herding his geese. He recently purchased in this city between $2,000 and 83,000 worth of cartridges, abont 260,000 in number, of 44 ca'ibtir. He has constantly in his employ, while his wheat is growing, about forty tneii, all of them mounted, and nearly Ul armed with Henry lilies and field-ghvises, who patrol his property during Ihe day and on all, moonlight nights. These men are regularly organized into a patrol guard. They discover with their glasses the flooks of geese, which at a distance of .100 or 400 yards look like a white blanket spread over the green wheat, and they thereupon plant a bullet right in the middle of the flock. This unexpected visitation sets the flock ou the wing, an! the gece herder follows them up, keeps planting bullets among them till thev rise to a great height, and, disgusted, leave the vicin

ity. Few geese tire killed, the object being to keep them on the wing, and consequently off tbe wheat fields. Those

that are killed are carried on ana snom of their feathers, but the revenue from them amounts to little. On Dr. Glenn's

ranch, about 8,000 cartridges are used in
