portion to the number of inhabitants,
than the value put upon the real and

half a million acres of land are unoir

every ten*r.ah farms are clear of
mortgages. It. is doubtful whether any
other new portion of the United States
can make such a showing of forehar.o-

to be burdened much by debts in a
territoiV where the average yield of
wheat is reported at 21 bushels to the
acre, with the highest yields running
up to 05, 67, 70, 73 and 80 bushels to the
acre, in differentcounties. The average
yield of barley is 31 bushels, of oats
bushels, and of potatoes 121 bushels.
Fruits of many kinds abound, and lite
stock flourishes. Dairy products make
a fine showing. So dorll minor branch-

The Scn*e «>f Hearing.
Of the five senses w ith w hich hurnnn
nature is gifted, that of hearing seems
to lie more constantly increasing in
value than any of the others. This may
l„. accounted for by the fact tlint In the
progress of science of late years such
important inventions as the telegraph,
telephone and phonograph all depend
upon the hearing for their very exist-
ence; and when tills sense of hearing is
educated by long practice in these and
other directions, very important and
surprising results have been attained,
llv way of illustration, the telegraph
operator can, by sound, recognize an
acquaintance at the key who is sending
a message from a distance, simply by
his or li"r style of sending, on the same
principle that one can recognize anoth-
er's handwriting with which they art*
familiar liv sight, while to the ordinary
observer the clicking of the sounder
would bo. the same, no matter how many
changes were made in the senders.--
