The hsy crop Of the United Staten foots up to-

ws can easily prove By o1lcial feures. According
to the Compendium ot the ccneue, Just issued oy
the CeEsus Bureau, the hay crop OF 1859, tbs last
year Of which We kave record, was within 4 ANAL
fraction 81 twenty mil1tons OF tons an increase OF

ratio Of increase would make the amount
