PROG ress OF Agriculture hDurfng
the Last Decade.

AhAC Hast hbeC140Gs s.
Our increase in all the chief articles of
agricultural produce. as shown by the
census report, is something enormous.
Wine has increased fourteen-fold since
1850, and nearly doubled in the last de-
cade, California being its chief producer.
Hops have increased seven-fold in the
same time, and more than doubled IN
the last ten years, New York growing
two-thirds Of the whole crop
Barley has increased six fold
Flax skiold, and faxseed trebled.
Wheat trebled, and oats doubled.
Irish potatoes have only increased one
third, and sweet decreased one-half
Live stock have trebled in vaIue. and
now amount to the handsome total of one
thousand five hundred and twenty-five
millions Of dollars, or an average of near
ly two hundred dollars for every family
in the nation.
Animals slaughtered have nearly
quadrupled in value, now amounting to
four hundred millions Of dollars annual
ly.
Wool has increased from sixty to one
hundred millions Of pounds.
Cotton j. half a million Of bales above
what it was in 1850, and three fifths Of
its amount in 1860.
Ia only one instance is there a decrease
Of an important product, and that is in
Indian corn, which falls short of the
amount reported in 1860 by seventy
eight millions Of bushels, or ten per cent
Of the whole
Ia some Of the lesser products, hOwev-
er, the downcome Is considerable. Silk
cocoons are only third Of their former
amount, hemp sixth, peas and beans
and rice about third each Bnckwheat
has decreased FROM seventeen millions of
bushels TO nine, and rye from twenty-one
millions Of bushels to sixteen.

TzaxismS for the Farmer.

Il. Only good farming pays. He who
sows or plants without reasonable assur-
ance Of good crops annually, had better
earn wages ofsome capable neighbor than
work for go poor paymaster as he is
certain to prove himself.
. The good farmer is proved by the
steady appreciation of his crops. Any
one may reap an ample harvest from a
fertile virgin soil; the good farmer alone
grows good crops at first, and better
ever afterWard.
3. 1t is far easier to maintain the pro-
ductive capacity of a farmer than to re-
store it. To exhaust its fecundity, and
then attempt its restoration by buying
costly commercial fertilizers, is wasteful
and irrational.
