CATERING TO THE FOREIGN MABKBTS HntikA fCOKUSTOSDKXCI OF TOT XnWATCE.1 IVashix OTON-, March 2ft, is SPENT an evening this week with Sec retary Rusk at his house on Massachu setts avenue The home of TJncle Jerry is one of the pleas- antest at the Capi tal. His house is a big brick painted drab.and it contains, I judge, somewhere between 15 and 20 rooms. The house is well but plainly furnished, but there is an air of every day comfort about it, and visitors al ways feel at home in it. Secretary Rude spends most ol his evenings at home. He has a do- Cncle Jerir. mestic nature al lied to his sociable qualities, and he talks bet around his own fireside. He is one of the best conversationalists in public life. H is big head is packed full of good stories, and he is like Abe Lincoln, in that he illus trates his points by anecdotes. He is like Lincoln also in that he is a man of the people. There is not an ounce ot snobbery in his 20 pounds of American flesh, and he is as democratic in his manners to-day as when he began life.in Ohio as a stage driver more than 40 years ago. Rusk's Bojtapod on an Ohio Tarm. He is not ashamed of his stage driving, and he is not one of those snobs who think it is a disgrace to have worked for a living. I asked him during my talk about his boy hood, and he told me that he was brought up on a farm, and that his father had a half- teetion of land in Morgan countv, O. "I was 14 years old," said General Rusk, "when my father died and left ma to man age the farm. I had been used to horses since I was a baby and I knew how to drive long before I became connected with the stage. At that time the chief travel from the East to the West was by stage and I was riven a coach which ran from Zanes ville to Newark. It was a big Concord coach w ith four horses and I sat on" the box and drove a four-in-hand. I afterwards owned about 140 miles of stage lines in Wis consin and X ran these lines lor some j ears." "It was as a stace driver that vou first met James A. Garfield, was it not?" "Yes, Garfield was driving a mule on the canaL He came down as tar as "Newark with his canal boat and we met a number of times. I was a good deal of a boy in those days and was very fond of wrestling. This was the chief amusement of the boys of my time and Garfield himself had some reputa tion as a wrestler. YTrestled Themselves Into Friendship. "Well, whenever we met we wrestled to gether, and in this way got to be friends. You don't forget a man after you have wrestled with him, and neither Garfield nor myself forgot each other. While I was still driving the stage, he left the canal to go to school. He entered college at Hiram, and then went east to Williams. But I did not see him after I left him there on the canal until we met in the army. It was at Chattanoosa. He was on the staff with General Thomas, and I had command of a regiment Duringourstav here we met and recalled old times. Shortly after this Gar field was home on a f urloqgh, and during this thev elected him to Congress. I did not see him again until I came to Congress myself, and we served there for some years together. I knew him very well from that time until his death. I was at the conven tion that nominated him, and had some thing to do with getting him the 16 Wis consin votes which started the boom which brought about his nomination." "How did you come to go to Wisconsin, General?" "It was, I suppose," said Secretary Rust, "largelv due to that spirit of Young'Ameri ca which, teaches all our boys to strike out lor a new country. I wanted to get a farm and I wanted to make my fortune. After my stage-driving experience j I tried rail roading for a time, and helped to build a road near my home. As soon as I got to Wisconsin I bought a farm, and I own the same farm to-day. It contains about 400 rcre, and I can get more fun out of it in a week than I can out of my life here at Washington m six months." Jerry Could Slake a Barrel. "I have seen it stated General, that you learned the cooper's trade w hen you were a boy. Could you make a barrel to-day?" "Yes, I could," replied Uncle Jerry. "I think I could make any kind of a barrel or cask you might want. But it is a mistake to think I was apprenticed to a cooper. All of the farmers in our region made barrels when I was a boy. It was our winter's work, and I got so that I could make six barrels any day. I have made as high as ten in a day, and as we got from 25 to 30 cents a barrel, you see the work was quite profit able." The conversation here turned to the farmer and his progress, and I referred to our great increase in population and asked Secretary Rusk whether the farmers would always be able to supply food for our peo ple. He replied: "Always is a long time. But I think I can speak for a good many years to come. We have hardly begun to tap the great agricultural wealth of the United States. It is true that the day must soon come when all the good public lands will be taken up. The best are gone now, but after that, modern invention will turn toward our vast acre of desert and swamp. The first will be irrigated and the latter will be drained. The swamp lands of the South will be reclaimed and diked. We will have a second Holland along some parts of the Gulf of Mexico, and the golden age of farming will be at hand. As this goes on, farms will steadily increase in value. They are now a large part of the aggregate wealth of the country. The Farmers Are Jfot Poor. " "Twelve years ago xur 5,000,000 farms were worth ten thousand millions of dol lars and they produce- yearly crops worth more than 54,000,000,000. We talk of the poverty of the farmer, but by the census of 1880 the stock on the farms alone Was worth over 51,500,000.000 and by " statistics which we have over at my department to-day our live stock is worth nearly twice as much now. We know how to prevent diseases of stock, and we have gained also in better breeding and better feeding. To day our best beef 4s sold at 2 vears old. It was not many years since beef was not thought to be beef unless the animal was at least 4 years old, and yet the meat ot the 2-year-old beeves of to-day is of the finest quality, and it surpasses in weight that of ihe average 4-year-old of 20 years ago. Where beeves can be turned off in half the time, a man can raise twice as many from off the same land, and the early maturity of our mutton and swine is to-day as marked as that of our beef. "It is the same in all branches of farming, and I believe that the prosperous era of the f-armcr is just beginning. The people of t" his world have got to' be fed and their food must come from the soil. We have 65,000, 000 people here to-dav. Twenty years from now we will have 100,000,000, and in less than two generations 200,000,000 Americans will wake up every morning in this United States and cry to the farmers for break lasts." The Crops Will Be Bigger. "The land will produce more in the, fut ure, will it not?" "Yes," replied Secretary Rusk. "Wo could get 50 per cent more from oft our lands if we farmed them in the right way, and if we did not add another acre to the area now under cultivation-we could make our agri cultural production half again as large as it is. Take the matter of wheat alone. It wo were to bring our lands by means of fertili zation and cultivation up to the standard of the wheat lands in England or even those of Belgium, we would double our average annual wheat crop without increasing the wheat area of a single acre. "Farming is fast becoming a science In the United States. The farmers have better advantages for study. We are sending out a vast amount of good information from the Agricultural Department, and we reach through our report and the newspapers fully a million families every month. The country is full of agricultural books and newspapers, and our experiment stations are doing wonders. My idea is that Uncle Sam should do the experimenting for the farmer; he should test new grains; should show how to bring up soils and should prove to him by experiments whether certain kinds of farming are'profitable or not. We are do ing this thing at our experiment stations, and the results are closely 'watched." "The new organizations of the farmers," continued Secretary Rusk, "are an indica tion of the growth of their intellectual life. I think the country is to be congratulated upon the awakening interest which they have in political affairs, and I believe that they are, by their numbers and their pecul iar position, especially well-fitted to serve as a balance-wheel in political matters. "How about our foreign markets, Secre tary Rusk? Are they growing and will they continue.?" After the Foreign Markets, "Our foreign markets are one of my hobbies," said General Rusk, "I believe the Agricultural Department should study the markets of all the countries of the world, and that it should show just what each country raises and what it is obliged to import. It should let the farmers know just what prices they can get for the things they send abroad, and it should keep them posted as to how to ship them. We are experimenting all the time to increase the variety of our products, not only with the view to the foreign markets, but to tbe sup plying our Home markets witn everything that can be raised on our soil. As to the foreign trade this year, the market for grain is, vou know, excellent, and our ship ments will steadily increase. I don't think we export by any means as much as we should." We have, until lately, nofc paid sufficient attention to our foreign trade. Our home demand has been so large that we have not needed it and as it is we waste enough right' along to feed one of the other good sized nations: Look at it Our 65,000,000 eat more than any 100,000,000 in any other part of the globe and you could, I venture, teed the whole 300,000,000 of India on what our farms produce in a single year. If you could take the products oflast year and pile them up mountain high and gather all the men, women and children in the United States around them and have a grand divi sion, every man, woman and child would get 53 bushels of grain. Every one of them would have 200 pounds of meat, and they could spread their bread with 16 pounds of butter apiece. Murphy Brodt for Germany. "Our foreign market is nothing to onr home market, and still it ought to be quite as important, and it can be made to grow. I sent a man to Germany last year to intro dure our cornmeal. The Germans were sur prised to find that it made excellent bread. They are now considering the advisability of "using it in the German army in connection with other flour and it is being sold at the baker shops of Berlin. They mix three parts of corn meal with two parts of rye and other flour, and five pounds of this mixed bread can be sold for the same price as three pounds of "rye bread. They call it "Murphy Brodt," after the name of the man J sent over to in troduce it And then as to the matter of pork and our meats. The Germans now know that they are all right and through the inspections that we have instituted, cur meat shipments to all parts of Europe have increased and the result is that pork is worth at least 1 cent more a pound than it was before the inspection began." "How about reciprocity, General? Is it going to help the farmer?" "Of course it will," replied Secretary Rusk. "The trouble with us in the past has been that we have not paid any atten tion to getting all we eould for what we gave to other nations. We have been about the onlv nation in the world who has not run its "business on business principles. I don't believe in giving something for noth ing, and I am for that kind ot reciprocity that will benefit the largest part of our people. THE AURORA'S 6L0RT Reflected In Word Paintings From Poetic Camille Flammarion. HOW MAGNETIC KEEDLES DANCE "When the Earth Gets Ready for IU Myste rious, Ghostly Show. INFLUENCE, OF SPOTS ON- THE1 8TO twmiTi.it fob tot dispatch, l Our terrestrial globe is an immense reser voir of that subtile force, electricity, which exists in all the planets of our system, and whose radiating.source is the aun himself. Its currents are circulating constantly, and the magnetic needle points with its delicate finger to this perpetual movement It os cillates and trembles whenever perturba tions, disturb the general equilibrium. It is wildly agitated whenever these perturba tions become violent Lightning striking a ship often produces a permanent change in the character of the compass, and in seek ing the north, indicated by the needle, sailors have been astonished to find them selves dashed against rocks or thrown on in hospitable shores. If a'bright aurora borealis illumines the sky of Stockholm or of Reikiawik, the needle of the Observatory of Paris is dis turbed at a distance of hundreds of leagues; it seems to ask what is happening, and in vites, the physicist to inform himself of the disturbances in the Northern regions. The aurora borealis is a great pouring forth of the atmospheric electricity. Instead of a tempest confined within the space of a few leagues, roaring w ith fierceness and rage, it is a slow and gentle interchange of the neg ative fluid of the earth with the positive fluid of the atmosphere, which is accom plished in the aerial heights. What the Magnetic Needle Shows. At Spitsbergen a magnetic needle hung horizontally by an untwisted thread of silk turns toward the West; at the beginning of an" aurora, the observer of this needle will find that instead of remaining motionless it seems" subject to an unwonted agitation. As the aurora, grows more brilliant the needle's agitation increases, and without leaving his study .the observe judges of the intensity needle's oscillations. At length, when the northern crown is formed, its center is found precisely on a line with a magnetio needle freely suspended on a pivot and pointing in the direction of the magnetio meridian; it is not horizontal, but dips to ward the .magnetic pole. Auroras then are nt imately connected with the magnetio ihenomena of the terrestrial globe. Auroras take place at all heights. Ac cording to the measurements of Bravais their ordinary elevation is between 62 and 125 miles. According to those of Loorais the extreme '.point whence the rays are darted may be as high as 400 or 500 milesl This action would then be accomplished in the, upper atmosphere. Those, however, have been measured which were much less is absolutely general; it is present on the entire surface -of the earth, following the same general law. The extent of the devia tion, however, decreases on approaching the equator and increases toward the poles. Moreover, the movement of the needle, usually most regular, is at times troubled accidentally by perturbations which are felt at the same Instant over very , great ex panses oi territory. Variations Ttae to Temperature. This daily oscillation of the needle is pro duced by the daily oscillation of tempera ture, to which are added the variations in electricity, vapor of water, atmospherio pressure, etc. The oscillation is.weaker in winter, stronger in summer;- the ther mometry variation is also less in winter and greater in summer. The thermometrio variation also increases in passing from the tropics to the polar regions. We may then positively affirm that this daily oscillation depends directly on thervariation in tempera ture, due to the sun, and acting through the intermediary of the atmospheric electricity on the terrestrial magnetism, whose varia tions are indicated by the magnetio- needle. The width of the diurnal oscillations varies daily, monthly and yearly. Taking the mean yearly observations we find that this oscillation becomes at least doubled in a period of about 11 years, which period, a fact most worthy of attention, corresponds KHr ADVERTISEMENTS. 5A 1 HpiW'MOWglllB iMi.-iya.nai. -.,; ttmM.50-IMS. i860- li!65-18io-lts.'lti0-65-.

It is the same w ith hides. "So w in these things we might have gotten a trade to the advantage of American flour and American meats. Yes, I think reciprocity is a good thing if it is rightlv managed." "Who are our chief competitors in the wheat markets?" I asked. "I suppose you mean with Europe. India is raising a great deal of wheat, and it is slowly increasing its wheat area, though the indications are it will soon reach its limit. Australia raised a great deal, and we have some competition lrom New Zea land." "How about stock farming in the United States, "Mr. Secretary?" I'Our stock improves right along," re plied Secretary Rusk, "and there has been a wonderful advance in the last ten years. You will now find the finest of breeding cat tle from Maine to California and the best of imported sto:k is used. Farmers are learn ing what kind of stock is best for the dairy and meat market, and the dairy interest is one of the biggest farm indnstries to-dav. There are now between 16,000.000 and 20".- 000,000 cows in the United States and we produce now in the neighborhood of a 1,500,000,000 pounds of butter a year. We send away a large amount of cheese and we turn out nearly 500,000,000 pounds of this every year. There are great tracts of land in the United States which will always be devoted to dairy farming and some of the unused lands of the United States will in the future be used for grazing." Feank G. Caepznteb, Aurora Seen at Spitsbergen, January a, 1839. elevated, not exceeding the clouds in height. Their extent is variable. An au rora observed at Cherbourg the 19th of Feb juary, 1852, was not visible at Paris, that is, at a distance of 230 miles. This Sisplay could not have been, said AT. Liais, more than 7,000 yards high. On the other hand, there are auroras which spread over im mense horizons. That of the 3d of Septem ber, 1839, was seen in America and in Eu rope, as, was also that of the 5th of Janu ary, ll69 That of the 2d of September, 1859, was Visible from New York to Siberia, and from both hemispheres of the earth, from the other hemisphere as well as from ours, at the Cape of Good Hope and at Edinburgh! The .Earth as a light Producer. The aurora borealis was to Humboldt one of the most striking exemplifications of the faculty of our. planet for emitting light. "From this pnehonienon it results," said he," "that the earth emits a light distinct from that which she receives from the sun. The intensity of this light slightly sur passes that of the moon in her first quarter: at times it is strong enough to allow of read ing printed characters; its emission, which is almost never interrupted at the poles, re minds us of the light of Venus, whose part not lighted by the sun often shines with a feeble phosphorescent light. Perhaps other planets also possess a light produced from their own substance. There are in our at mosphere other examples ot this production of terrestrial light. Such are the famous dry fogs of 1783 and of 1831, which gave forth light quite perceptible by night; such are those great clouds gleaming with a calm light; such, in fine, is that diffused light which guides our steps in the nights of au tumn and spring, when clouds hide the stars and the earth is not covered with snow." We know that the magnetic needle does not remain fixed in the plane ot the mag netic meridian, but that oscillates dally to the right and to the left of this plane. The greatest departure to the east takes place about 8 o'clock in the morning. Then the needle stops, returns toward the magnetio north line, passes beyond it, and reaches its greatest'deviatlon to the west about 1:15 o'clock in the afternoon. This phenomenon with the period of the solar spots, the maxi mum of the oscillations coinciding with the maximum of spots, and the minimum of the one with the minimum of the other. All the other elements of magnetism, the dip of the needle, and the intensity of the force-exhibit the same correspondence. Still more; trie magnetic needle from time to time ex hibits abnormal agitations, perturbations caused by magnetic storms. These pertur bations also correspond with the great agi tations observed iu the sun. If we trace the curve of thet number of solar spots (the mean diurnal extent ot the solar surface covered Bv spots for each year), and beneath it the curve expressing the magnetic variation according to a .com plete series "of observations, we obtain the accompanying diagram, which speaks for itself, giving a precise affirmation of this real correspondence. We notice that the maxima and minima, both of magnetic force and of the solar spots, are far from invari ably reaching the same value. How to Prophesy Sun Spots. The correspondence is so striking that an astronomer, 51. Wolf, director of the ob servatory at Zurich, has established formu la: for calculating the number of spots on the sun by examining magnetic observations only, without need of observing the sun. Hewrote me lately that these formulae have never waited for verification more than a few months. The curve drawn to express on a physiological chart the daily, monthly. yearly state ot the sun's health presents the same deflections, the same rate and propor tions as the curve representing the daily, monthly and yearly observation of the magnetic needle. It is a coincidence veritably pregnant with questionings, that the years in which the oscillation of this innocent little blade of steel is the strongest are also the years when there are the most spots, the "most eruptions, the most tempests in the sun; and that the' years when its daily deviations are the most feeble are those in which we observe in the orb of day neither spots, eruptions nor tempests. Is there, then, a magnetic bond between the immense solar globe and our own wandering abode? Is the sun magnetic? But magnetio currents disappear at a temperature of redhot iron, and the incandescent flame of light is of a temperature incomparably higher. Is there an electric influx from the sun to the earth through a space of more than 93,000, 000 miles? All these questions are as yet so many mysteries. Let us first establish the facts and afterward seek for explanations. Observations That Seem Conclusive. On the 1st of September, 1859, two as tronomers, Carringtou and Hodgson, were observing the sun independently of each other, the first on a screen which received the image, the second directly through the telescope, when suddenly a dazzling flash ot light broke forth from the midst of a group ot spots. This light shone lor the space of five minutes above the spots without alter ing their form, and as if it had been alto gether independent of them, and it must have been the effect of a fearful conflagra tion in the solar atmosphere. Each ob server noted the fact separately, and was blinded by it for an instant. Now, notice the surprising- coincidence: At the very moment when the suu broke into flames "in this manner the magnetic in struments at the Kaw observatory near London manifested a strange agitation; the magnetio needle leaped from side to side for an hour as if it had gone wild. More over, a part of the world, during that night and the following one, was wrapped in the light of an aurora borealis, in Europe as well as in America. Violent magnetic per turbations were manifested, and in several places the telegraphic lines ceased to oper ate. How can we avoid associating one with the other of these two curious events? Many examples of this same coincidence might be mentioned. Camixle Flammabiox. PRICE OF STOCK Wl LL BE ADVANCED APRIL 1 TO $5P25. 6 PER CENT GUARANTEED DIVIDEND. OCALA SILVER SPRINGS COMPANY.

The La Criolla Cigar Manufacturing Company assure us that 200 houses are to-day under contract to be built within 90 days. Th location of these factories will enhance the value of all adjacent real estate three times its present value. The Ocala and Silver Springs Company is now negotiating for other factories, which will undoubtedly soon be secured. A Company from Havana, Cuba, have started a tobacco farm of 160 acres near Ocala, on which they will raise .Havana wrapper and filler, and, from previous careful expeTl ments, believe it will be equal in quality to Cuban tobacco.
