Importance of a Soiling Corn. If -there Las ever been any question as to the important of every dairyman, not poscssing a silo, of providing sonic soiling crop, last summer's fcxperitnee throughout the dairy districts should have removed every doubt... The low tan dally to the dairy interest during the dry season, more iutense and destructive some years thaa others, reachee a fabulous sum. This dry heated term, supplemented by the advent of flies, which are a terror to the bovine mother, makes it doubtly necessary that some palatable, succulent food should be produced to meet this emergency. It is not only the great loss of milk during this dry season, but, as every intelligent dairyman will concede, it is practically impossible for cows that have shrunk in their flow of milk to recover the shrinkage. The writer, from his own ex perience, believes that the loss in this direction can be reduced at least one-half in other words, ten cows properly caret! for .during the year will produce more milk than twenty oows cared for in an ordinary way. If this is true, is it any wonder that there are so-called dairymen who are ready to proclaim that dairying does not pay, thereby injuring the most important industry, to the largest number of people in the country. The demand is not neccessarity far more oows, but for better ones, remembering that the great and imperative needs is the man behind the cow. A three hundred pound cow with a one hundred round man will prove a failure. The ounce of AY a prevention i the remedy. Now is the time for ac tion. Erery dairyman is not provided with a well filled nlo to meet the dry and fly season that coo fronts him. '. Every dairyman can and should plant on a well fertilized piece of land one, two or more acres of fodder corn, in proportion to the sise of hu herd, for soiling purposes. - Th'w, prop erly ted, will keep up the flow of milk during this seison of ordinary loss aud disaster, and start them iuto the winter fitted for profitable work. This soiUng crop should be planted at intervals sufficient to have the corn to reach maturity in such quantities as the herd demaud. We feel confident, if oar dairy farmers will try, this ex periment, it will prove to be the most profitable and satisfactory crop on the farm. We hope that large numbers will try it. We have found common corn entirely satisfactory; someof the sweet varieties are, however, excellent. Drill it in rows about Jthree feet apart. After preparing a good seed bod, and if properly - put in, it will scarcely ever fail. Cut it as neeeded, day by day, allowing jt to wilt a little before feeding.! - Feed liberally to cows in a full flow of milk, and we are not afraid to risk our repu tation on thesuocess of the enterprise. Supplement this with some pumpkins and mangel wurzels for tall aud winter feeding. LIFE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE POSTS OLDEST SUBSCRIBER.

The precise figares are $1,067,603,G0. Aa there was a gala la severs! of the items in 1801, the figures for the year just ended will undoubted ly, when they are'compiled and revised in the aggregate ten or W months hence, make a very cBconragiar ex hibit.

'Bat the pre dove metals arc far from being at the head of the list of the country's mln-e-a! prodpcte. The eoal production ot the eooa'Ty1 ia 1900, for example, was 8W,0O0,0OOr as compared with $79,000,- 000 for gold and $30,000,000 for silver. Ia 1890, (or the first time, the eoal prod- act ot the United States passed the mark for the British islands, and this country took the first place among the eoal producing localities of the world. Coal and iron ia 1900 accounted (or more thaa. half of the total of the country's aggregate metallic product, or $300,000,000. Of course, in aggre gate mineral production no other coun try in the world makes any close ap proach to the United 8tatea, saya the 6C Louis Globe-Democrat. 1 Moreover, the growth ia the output of the Unit ed States is greater thaa ia scored by any other country.

European statistical annuals, aa wan aa newspapers, arc giving much space America Well la W the United States, ita population, wealth, 'power and pretensions. One of the latest of these exhibits, th Lon don Daily Mail's Year Book for 1902, haa a aeries of tables which show the particulars in which the United Statea leada the world. In the matter of wealth, according to that authority, thia country haa a long lead over Eng land, which stand second on. the list, and which stood first until a compare' tively recent date. The lead, indeed, ia greater than these figures show, for the wealth of the United States is larger than ia here given. Reduced to terms of Amcrieaa money, the wealth ot thia country in 1900 in the London statistical publication is put at $82,- 000,000,000, while the United King dom'a ia $30,000,000,000, France's it $48 000,000,000, Germany's ia $40,000,000, 000 and Russia's $31,000,000,000. This estimate for the United States, accord ing to the St, Loula Globe-Democrat, will be found to be too low. From the preliminary figures which bav been furnished from Washington it appeara certain that the aggrcgaU value of thia cont:y'e property fa iOOd will a placed by the census authorities ia their final figures above the $90,000, 000,000 mark instead of the $8J,000,- 000,000 given in the London publication. In the proportion of national debta to national wealth the United States, ot course, makes an even better showing than it doea in the item of wealth alone. While the ratio of debt to wealth, aa given by the London Mail' Year Book, 1.4 per cent ia the United Statea, it ia alx per cent, in the United Kingdom, $.1 per cent, ia Germany, 11.1 per cent. , la Bussla, and 12.8 per cent, in Franc. The real ratio, so fsr aa regards the United States, would be evea better than thia, for thia country wealth, as before mentioned, is in excess of the figures given by the Londoa annuel That publication's figures ef pig iroa production, which are for 1900, arc more nearly correct, aad they show, a ia th other particular, a long lead for thia country.
