Farm Statistics of Last Census.

Only one-tenth part Of the United
States domain is enclosed as farms, or,
about 408 millions of acres. OF this,
less than one-half, or less than one
twentieth part of the United States
territory in all, is under actual cults
walton. These farms enclose 100 mil
lions of acres OF woodland, and so
millions Of acres of land, cleared or
prairie, but uncultivated.
The estimated cash value of these
farms is 1888 millions of dollars, or
nearly four times the national debt.
The value Of products, implem ents
and stock is set at 4,310 millions of
dollars.
The crops for 1870 were of oats, 7s2
millions of bushels; of corn, 76l mill
lions of wheat, 2s8 millions of other
grain, 81 millions; of potatoes, beans
and peas, III millions.
The same year produced in the Unit
edStates IA million pounds of rice So
million pounds of cheese 43 million
pounds of honey aud maple sugar ;
514 million pounds of butter. Be-
sides these there were q million gal
Ions of molasses and syrup and 81
thousand hogsheads of sugar.
There were 8 million mich cows,
producing 236 million gallons of milk.
Ofswine, sheep and cattle, there were
SO millions. Hay to the amount of
q million tons was produced. Value
of slaughtered animals was 400 mill
lion dollars, value of orch rds and
garden produce, 65 millions of dollars.
Amount paid for farm wages 80 mil
lions of dollars. Three-fourth of ell
this product was in the Mississippi
valley.
Assuming 40 millions Of people in
the y s., each might have had in
1870, 20 bu. of oats, IS of corn, 8
of wheat, II of rye, barley or buck
wheat. Also BIB rice, II of cheese,
of honey or maple sugar, 13 of butter;
! gallon of mo asses, 6 gallons of milk
The farm lands divided up, would
give each citizen 10 acres, with an
outfit worth 100 dollars.

Fox ana wisconsin improvements.

The Green Bay Advocate is not
satisfied with the way matters look
concerning the Fox and Wisconsin
rivers. 1t says:
But it looks as if the States inter
ested in this route are TO be doomed
to disappointment sgain. The poll
icy of the Government in regard to
the improvement, as adopted by
Col. Houston and those putin charge
Of it, consists merely in tinkering up
the present locks and dams, in the
hope to make them serviceable in
continuing the meagre trade of the
past. Indeed, we understand that
Capt. Edwards, the engineer in i'm
mediate charge, contemp ates the
use of the present locks with some
repairs, for the next ten or twelve
years; and Col. Houston thinks that
"by that time, the amount of through
business that is done will show TO
what extent the present locks and
canals ought to be enlarged" With
due respect to that officer we sug
gest that it will show no such thing
Such a navigation will only show
what it is capable, or incapable of,
not what is wanted of it. A doubt
full, cramped and insufficient channel
will not be res rted TO by trade. The
way 10 ascertain the amount of BUSH
ness which seeks accommodation, is
to find what the bulk of that trade
really is, in all channels, and not
what part of it will go over such q
difficult route. If the projectors OF
the great railroads which now span
this western country had, before
building them, calculated their BUSH
ness upon that Of the miserable and
insufficient wagon roads which exist
ed upon the same routes, it is safe to
say that never q dollar would have
been invested in such enterprises
And if Gov. Clinton had resorted To
that method of estimating traffic
the great Erie Canal would nevel
have been built.

The State Ticket.

Col. Ginty of the Chippewa Her.
aid has something to say thus early
about the next State ticket A late
issue Of the Herald contains the fol-
lowing article upon the subject which
we think will earn for the Colonel
the title of "Old Political Probabili-
ties':
Several Republican journals through
out the state are discussing the ques-
ton rs to who will bs the probable
nominees at the next convention. Al
though this is rather early, it will do
no harm to give publicity to those
names which are likely to come up.
First in order is Gov. Washburn. The
present indications are that he will
be unanimously selected unless some
unforeseen event should transpire
For the position of Lieutenant Gov-
ernor, the names of Senator Baker,
of r ,cine, A. NJ. Tompson of Milwau.
kee Senator Eaton, of Z chland ex-
Senator Belden, of Racine, Henry D.
Barron, of Polk, and Senator Thorp,
of Eau Claire, are prominently men-
toned. For Secretary of State there
will be sharp contest. VIM. w Field,
of Grant, J. s. Curtis, of Brown,
e. w. Young, of Sank, and John s.
Dean, OF Dane, will be candidates.
1t 10 yet uncertain whether the
present incumbent, Hon. L. Breese,
of Columbia, will be candidate for
re nomination, but the general irEpre-
sion seems TO be that he will not.
The Attorney Generalship will de-
pend on circumstances. Ifex.Speaker
Field should be nominated for Secre>
tary of State-a not Improbable ev-
ent-John r Bennett, of Rock, will
certainly be the nominee for this Of
fee. But if Field should fail or if
he should not be q candidate,-we
believe that .. B. Thomas, of Craw-
ford will succeed. Either Field. Es.
ton or Thomas, will certainly be Sc
lected from the Third Congressional
district. The name of AssemblymSn
Bartlett, of Eau Claire, has also been
mentioned in several places, but we
doubt whether he would quit his ex-
tensive practice to accept the posi-
ton. Hon. Henry Baetz, will, as be
ought to be reenominated for State
Treasurer He is one of the best of.
fcers the state ever had and is de-
servedly popular every whore.
Gen. Fallows will be again chosen
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and Col. 0. C. Johnson or come
other capable man, Emigration Com
missioner.
The contest, the coming fall, is
not going to be an idle one, and Re
publicans must select their best and
strongest men, if they desire success.
A poor ticket will most assuredly be
defeated. Party ties and party feel
ipgs are being daily weakened, and
voters will be largely governed in
their choice by the qualifications and
standing of the candidates. Mean
men, incompetent men, and dishon-
est men must be kept in the shade.
If one of them is placed on the tick
ct, modification will set in with ia
tai results.
