FARMING NO LONGER LEADS.
Manufactured Products Amount to Much
More In Value Than the Crops.
Agriculture in supposed to be the
foundation of our progress and pros
perity, writes R. H. Edmonds in an ar
ticle in the Engineering- Magazine on
modern progress, this is to a large
extent truo, and yet while the value of
our manufactured products in 1800 was
SS,C10,000,000 the total value of our agri
cultural products in that year was only
about 83,800.000,000. The opening up
of new land by the heavy immigration
into the west brought into cultivation
ten or more years ago a larger area
than the consuming power of this coun
try and the foreign demand added jus
tified. In a pamphlet recently published by
C. Wood Davis it is shown that the area
cultivated in staple food crops increased
from 1S75 to 1880 on an average of 0.8
per cent, a year, and since then has
steadily declined, having been 3.9 per
cent, from 180 to 1885, and then 1.4 per
cent, from 1S?5 to 1890. In other words
the total cultivated area is now in
creasing much less rapidly than our
population.
Of course in view of this the agricul
tural productions of the country do not
show any such phenomenal advance as
has marked the growth of industrial
interests. The total value of all ag
ricultural products in 1880 was esti
mated at S8,700,000,000. James E.
Dodge, the statistician of the agricul
tural department, estimated the value
in 1890 at $3,800,000,000 a gain of S100,
000,000 notwithstanding a heavy aver
age decline in price and very short
crops owing to bad weather. In 1891
large crops brought the total value up
to 84,500,000,000. The number and
value of farm animals increased very
heavily during the decade, the total
value having been 81,576,000,000 in 1880
and $2,418,000,000 in 1890 a gain of
.$840,000,000.

There is nothing I have ever used for
muscular rheumatism that gives me as
much relief as Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does. I have been using it for about
two years four bottles in all aa occa
sion required, and always keep a bottle
of it in my home. I believe I know a
good thing when I get hold of it, and
Pain Balm is the best liniment I have
ever met with. W. B. Denny, dairy
man, New Lexington, Ohio. 50 cent

The French potato crop of 1892
amounted to 440,000,000 bushels, as com
pared with a yield of 390,000,000 bush
els as the average annual crop in the
previous ten years.
While Mr. T. J. Richey of Altona,
Mo., was traveling in Kansas he was
taken violently ill with cholera morbus.
He called at a drug store to get some
medicine and the druggist recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Eemedy so highly he concluded to
try it. The result was immediate relief,
and a few doses cured him completely.
It is made for bowel complaint and
nothing else. It never fails. For sale,

The clear juice, without sugar, of
half a lemon every morning for a week
just now, when the system is more or
less clogged from the winter's feeding,
is, according to an authority, equal to
a trip south or a whole bottle of debil
itating bitters.
The promptness and certainty of its
cures have made Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy famous. It is intended especi
ally for coughs, colds, croup and whoop
ing coughs, and is the most effectual
remedy known tor these diseases. Mr.
C. B. Main of Union City, Pa., says:
"I have a great sale on Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I warrant every bottle
and have never heard of one failing to
give entire satisfaction." 50 cent bottles

THE DALLES,
Wasco County, - - Oregon,
The Gate City of the Inland Empire is situated at the head
of navigation on the Middle Columbia, and is a thriving, pros
perous city.
ITS TERRITORY.
It is the supply city for an extensive and rich agricultural
and grazing country, its trade reaching as far . south as Summer
Lake, a distance of over two hundred miles.
The Largest Wool Market.
The rich grazing country along the eastern slope of the Cas
cades furnishes pasture for thousands of sheep, the wool from
which finds market here.
The Dalles is the largest original wool shipping point in
America, about 5,000,000 pounds being shipped last year.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia, yielding
this year a revenue of thousands of dollars, which will be more
than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Klickitat valley find market
here, and the country south and east has this year filled the
warehouses, and all available storage places to overflowimg with
their products.
ITS WEALTH.
It is the richest city of its size on the coast and its money is
scattered over and is being used to develop more farming country
than is tributary to any other city in Eastern Oregon.
Its situation is unsurpassed. Its climate delightful. Its pos
sibilities incalculable. Its resources unlimited. And on these
corner stones she stands.
