January  Crop Report.
December was a warm dry month,
the mean temperature being above and
the precipitjaion below, the normal.
The snow fall inithe lower peninsula
was light. The ground was not covered December 15 in the southern and
central counties, and on December 31st
the average deptb in these sections
was less than one inch.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in December is 1,
494,736, The number of bushels reported marketed in the five months,
August-December, is 6,235,103 bushels
which is 1,693,932 bushels less than reported marketed in the same months
last year.
The average condition of live stock
in the State is reported as follows, comparison being with stock in good healthy condition. Horses 94 per. cent;
sheep and cattle, 95 per cent, and swine
97 per cent. ,
The average price of wheat January
1,1895 at the usual places of marketing
by farmers was 50' cents per bushel; pf
corn 46 cents, and of oats 32 cents and
the average price of hay $7.95 per  ton.
The average price of fat cattle was
$2.94 per ewt., of fat hogs $3.96 per cwt.
and of dressed pork $4.97 per cwt.
The average price of each class of
horses was as follows: Under one year
old, S18.19; between one and two years
old, $28,42; between two and three
years old, §42.58; three years and over,
$60.77.
Milch cows were worth $27.91.- Cattle other than milch cows under one
year old were wdi th, per head, $6.78;
between one and two years $12.18; between two and three, $18.99; and three
and over $25.61.
The average price of sheep under
one year old was $1.32, and one year old
and over, $1.64; and hogs under one
year old were woith $4.32, and one
year old and over, $8.79.
The prices here given are for the
State. For each class of horses and for
sheep they are higher, and for milch
cows, each class of cattle other than
milch cows, and hogs, lower than the
prices ruling in the southern four tiers
of counties. The difference, either
way, however, is in no case large.
Compared with January 1, 1894,
there has been a decline in the prices
of all farm products named in this report, excepting corn and oats. Corn
averages 3 cents and oats] cent a bushel more now than one year ago.
Tbe loss, qii wheat is 5 cents per bush-
el-
The decline- on fat cattle is 16 cents;
fat hogs, 73 cents and dressed pork,
$1.10 per cwt.
The several classes of horses have declined in values as follows: under one
year old, ■ $.1.68; between one and two
years old, $7.29: between two and three
years, $10.07. and three years old and

cents less, and those one year old and
over, $1.40 less th;a.n a year ago.

Is Too Much. Land Cultivated?
The Rural New Yorker is one of onr-.
siost esteemed contemporaries. Its head
Is as level as the great corn belt We
tee surprised' therefore, when The Rnral ■
cries ont to stop the irrigation move-'
tneht because there is too much land tin-'
ler cultivation in this country already.'
This is foolishness. Can there-be too
much land -under cultivation, when
t, 000,000 men are tramping the conn-<
try, ont of work, today? The food that
would fill the mouths of them and their
families would occupy in its cultivation
many thousands of the acres that would*
be brought -under cultivation by irrigation. Go to a meeting of workingmen in
the slum districts of The Rnral's own
Bity of New York. Cast your eye oyer the
3ea of heads. Yon will see that the faces
are pinched and sharp, the complexions
pale and tallowy. The hands and bodies
ore often lean and shrunken. There is
not a plump man among them, with the
rarest exception. What does this prove?
It proves actually that these men do
not get enough to eat. Look again at
the children in these slum districts.
They look like little withered old men
and women. They, too, are insufficiently fed, plainly enough. It is true, the
price of some farm products has been
low the past two years. It -was not because people did not want and need to
buy and eat them. It was because they
did not have the money to buy them.
Nol When the food the farmer raises is
bo low in price that he can hardly make
a living at all, at the same time that
millions are in sore need of the .very
things he raises, it is a sign that something else is the matter than too much
land under cultivation.
Xale's Irreparable Loss.
The public will sympathize prof ound-
ly with Yale college in the loss of her
most promising student. He did not die,
but he left the college to enter on a business career. Eager eyes have watohed
him from the time he entered the varsity
to the day he left it
It is not quite sure whether the young
man, Mr. Sanford, would have been a
Shakespeare or a great statesman.
Which way his surpassing intellectual
talents would jump had not yet developed.'
Was Mr. Sanford a great Latin
scholar? Well, no, he was not Then
the elegant and poetic Greek, the French
of ancient tongues, must have been his
specialty? No, not exactly. Somehow he
never took to the dead languages at all.
He only knew one living one well, his
own. He was not the college prize orator. His forte did not lie in mathematics, and he was not the class poet. Still
his loss to Yale is irreparable and more
bitterly felt and sadly commented on
by the remaining students than if he
had been prize orator, poet, master of
dead and living languages all in one.
Mr. George Foster Sanford failed in
his examinations in the varsity law
school. But in the varsity athletio games
he was simply great He is 6 feet 3
and weighed 193 pounds, and Yale had
hopes that he would beat the fellows
from all the other colleges out of their
boots. Therefore all Yale wears crape
for the loss of one of its greatest sons.
A Cincinnati man has shown himself
almost as unsophisticated as the youth
who was asked by a woman to hold her
baby a minutti in a railroad station. Mr.
Casimir Werk built what the architects
assured him solemnly was a fireproof
house. The funny part is that Mr. Werk
solemnly believed them. A fire broke
out in the mansion. Mr. Casimir Werk,
the Cincinnati man who pinned his
faith to architects' assurances, shut up
the room in which the fire appeared, so
as to let it burn itself about. He would
not let the firemen in, so entirely did
he pin his faith to the architects. There
is something touching in this childlike
confidence. The room and the fireburn-
ed themselves out. Bnt when they stopped Mr. Casimir Werk's house had utterly vanished from this earthly scene,
with everything in it   Loss, $50,000.
Frances Power Cobbe shows herself
in her biography, just published, a more
remarkable woman than even she has
had credit for being. She would be willing to live her life over again just as it
was. She writes, "I would gladly accept the permission to run my earthly
race once more from beginning to end,
taking sunshine and shade just as they
have flickered over the long vista of
my 70 years." Miss Cobbe is certainly
one of a very small number of persons
in this respect, almost alone, in fact
New Jersey has a unique dog law,
according to a decision made by one of
her judges. A man was sued for keeping a vicious dog. It was put in evidence that he had bitten one person, no
mora The judge decided that one bite
did not make a vicious dog, and that,
therefore the bitten one was not entitled
to damages. Jersey canines are therefore entitled to one good bite at a mem*
ber of the human race.
That ever was inaugurated in Saline.
