This table exhibits an actual decrease of
horses, mules and hogs, very small increase
OF cattle, large increase of COWS but one
still far below the usual increase, and very
great increase of sheep
The report points out the strong induce
ments that farmers have to increase all
kinds of stock that is falling off. The num-
Der of sheep will be increased by the lambs
of the spring to nearly thirty million, or
double to what it was in 1859
The decrease in hogs is GIL, 1928 This is
an important fact to provision dealers and
farmers, for it shows that but few, if any
were kept over on account of the corn, as
has generally been believed. The condition
of hog raising since 1860 to this time is
examined, and the opinion given that even
if there had been a good corn crop there
would have been decrease in the number of
hogs packed.
The number Of fattening cattle is reported
to be 80 per cent. lesst han last year in Penn
sylvania, Ohio Indiana and Michigan. %
per cent. less in New York, Ohio and Illinois
and 20 per cent less in Missouri and Wiscon-
sin. The general decrease is nearly 80 per
cent.
The condition of nearly all stock lis below
the usual spring average, especially of no gs,
but sheep are i'll excellent order, having re-
ceived more than ordinary attention. Hence
the yield of wool per head will be as much
as usual.
The condition of wheat and other crops
sown last fall is represented as Indicating a
largely decreased product from the crop of
last year but it is hoped tha4 they have i'm
proved from the recent rains, and since the
returns of correspondents were sent in,
which was ON the fret of April. The dry-
ness of February and March retarded the
usual growth in these months
1t is believed that the production of maple
sugar and molasses will be unusually large, as
the preparations for itwere greater than
usual.
Bees are repol ted as having suffered much
during the winter. The usual amount of sta
tistics showing the trade in agricultural pro-
ducts is given; and the meteorological part
of the report prepared at the Smithsonian In
is very full and completely exhibits
the phenomena attending the remarkable
cold storms of the past winter.
The rains have been heavy and general,
retarding much the putting in of the spri
wheat and other crops, but whether the
put in will be materially lessened in
consequence, cannot now be known.-PrDj-
RTE Farmer.

In reply to the second communication from the Agent
Of the "Home," E. H. Kellogg, which appeared in this
paper for several weeks in which he attempts to ex-
plain Mr. Wright's corrected report which had pub
shed j would add but few words. Allowing his
representations Of said report to be correct he would
make out that the Hon Elzur Wright, of Mass Ito say
nothing of the officers of the "New York Life - was
guilty of gross dup5tcity, in thus palming off the
Public, statement to make the standing of Compa-
ny appear better than the facts would warrant. The
gent exhibits rather than his usual stupidity In
resorting to such representation after having quoted
Mr. Wright as authority for the standing of his own
and other companies. In "a card published by Mr..
Wright, April Is 1864 he says: "on page 20 CT same

cent? of actual computed premium for 1852,

printed in part Of the edition. The correct figures
are 1921" The Agent Of the Home omitted one i'm
porant fact when he gave the figures In his advertise
ment as index OF the standing of the several Cons
panies to wit: "The Home" when it first organ
lied had Stock Cdpiat of $l25 900 to d6S0rd MebTS
