per annum 10 each COW, with l65 pounds OF
Cheese We export annually a little over one
Million Dollars worth OF Dairy Products.-Oi
Sheep, shere was an increase of 2,3O9,lOS be-
tween 10 and so, notwithstanding dlmnu-
ton of 6i6,S55 in New England and l,76l 400
in the Atlantic Middle States, equal to 40 per
cent. in the former and 224 in the latter.
Sheep Husbandry is tending rapidly westward
and southward-to the milder slopes of the
Alleehanies and the Prairies of Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Texas. New Mexico has SIX sheep
10 each person-an extraordinary proportion
Best of all. the returns show that while IN
1910 the average annual yield of Wool was a
little under two pounds per sheep, it was in 800
nearly two and half pounds per sheep, 50 that
u 100000 sheep produced in 1850 forty-sixper
cent more Wool than 1881, 374 sheep did IN
Ie4O. An increase of twelve per cent IN the
Sheep had been paralleled BY an increase oil
forty.six per cent in the Wool. And IN YER
mont. where the greatest attention has been
paid to Sheep IIusbandry, the average yield
per sheep is almost four pounds Yet We I'M
port considerably of Woo-mainly the cheap
est and coarsest. In 1850. the import was
Is 669. 794 pounds, valued at Sl6Sl,69l, or
between eight and nine cents per pound Inc
Imports of Wool have largely increased during
three or four years.
The Grain Statistics Of the Census nave al
ready appeared in our columns.
Of Tobacco. the aggregate returned in I9iO
was 3I9,l63,3l9 lbs. in 1850 it was l99'7o2'-
SIC pounds-a decrease of about ten per cent.
We fear the Millennium is not approaching so
rapidly as these returns would indicate
OF Cotton. the production continues largely
to increase. The product is now over 5'Voo'-
600 bales or 600 600 tuns per annum.
OF Potatoes, heproduct would seem to have
fallen of from lOS,29S, 06O bushels in 40 to
IO4.O55. $50 bushels in 1850 and we presume
this is correct: the reason being the effects
and fears of Potato Rot This disease would
now seem TO be passing away, and the culture
of the root consequently revlving
OF Uiae. the production is steadily increas-
ing. Our importation amounts to Six Millions
of Gallons per annum; our consumption 10
at least Twenty Millions Of Gallons; so that
our home production must be not far from
Fourteen Million Gallons. OF this aggregate,
il seems that only 22l,2i9 gallons are ac-
knowiedgod in the Census-~hence We infer
that our manufacturers of Madeira, Cham
payne. Hook. &c. prefer not to let their light
shine before men, but meehy put aside the
credit Of their enormous consumption OF I'll
der. Tuups, Logwood and other domestic and
imported products. Such an example OF mod
csty is very rare in this brazen age.
OF Spurious and Mali Liquors. the annual
product reaches the enormous aggregate OF
Eiehty.six Millions of Gallons, (six gallons for
each person old enough to- drink or to know
better.)-our imports and exports just about
balancing each other This IS great country T!
The Hop culture (mainly confined to this
State) is extending.
OF Far and Hemp, the production did not
materially vary from 1910 TO 1850. We trust
il has since 30 received strong and lasting
Impulse; but Rome was not built in day.
Our SIX Culture is q ruin We produced
in I-3l no less than 396,790pOunds Of Cocoons (;
in 1910 only 6l,552 pounds in 1850 barely
l4763 pounds And yet it is demOnstrable
that we have every facility of climate, soil, I'M
employed hands, &C. for this branch Of indus
try, ard that its vigorous prosecution would
add largely to the National wealth. But TO Sc
cure this end, present sacrifices are essential ;
and these individuals cannot or will not make,
and the Nation is too dull, too careless, too
tettered by partisanship, to do tse thing need
full. So We run in debt for our Silks, and leave
the children VINO ought to produce them, to
grow up beggars and thieves along our high
ways
Our Sugar culture is extending Our pro-
duction Maple aud Cane tOgether) in l540
was lJ5, 100, SEQ lbs in 1850 it was 2-1 ,S3O $50
its, an increase MAINLY in Louisiana and Tex
as) Of I2G,730,011 los. Much credit is due
for this to the Tariff of lSi2, which gave the
Sugar Culture an impetus which it has nevef
lost Ii has now obtained command of the
most admirable and efficient machinery, aud is
steadily working further aud further North
ward, through the gradual acclimatiOn of the
Cane, and can nevermore be broken down.
Such is the substance of Mr. Kennedy's
Report but he is not TO be held responsible for
