---It was my ihtentioE TO have presented at
length the inctease in the leading products of
agriculture, during the decade from 1850 10
1860, but fjd the space allotted me in your
columns will not permit me to do so. shall
therefore cont ent myself with giving general
results, referring your readers for details 10
the census of 1860. The increase in Cd. nifty
| OF the following grain between the years 1850
and 1860 was as follows: Wheat 20 per
cent. rye 48|per cent. c,rn 40 per cent. !;
oats l8 per cent. Wheat and rye taken to-
gtther 6S per cent; corn and oats taken to-
getber &c per cent. Taking wheat, rye, oats
aud corn together the increase was forty per
cent. in the tdn years, or 81 per cent. per an
mum compounded. The increase in live stock
for the same time was a. follows: Horses,
rnues and as}es 4S per cent: Mich cows,
oxen and all bther neat cattle 40 per cent. !;
swine per dent. and sheep per cent. The
censns report does not give the valuation of
each description of live stock. think 1t can
be; be;approxim%ted. If sheep be valued at 81,
swine "a, cofs $l2 and horses $36, it will be
q little in excess Of the total valuation in
1850. The $ane valuation per head respec
lively for the humber returned 10 1860 will
be the averdge increase of thirty-four per
cent. in ten Years.
Thus il will be seen that the increase from
1850 to 1860 was in lands forty per cent; in
al grains forty per cept., and in live stock
thirty four Rer cent. The CREATE increase
being in the improved lands, AS we'll as In
the more va nable grains viii make up the
deficit in live stock, and make an average IN.
crease Of fot per cent. in the lands and the
leading prod ucts named. The same will, !
