According to the census report the
total production of tobacco in this coun-
try is 472 ,661, 150 pounds. The largest
producers, 1t appears, yield the smallest
amount per acre. Thus Virginia, Mary
land, kentucky and Tennessee, which
raise most of the exported tobacco, show
an annually decreased average to the
acre; whereas in those States where
tobacco is grown merely for domestic
use the yield is high and increasing
every year.
Joseph Harris says we can make
our lands poor by growing clover and
selling it, or we can make them rich by
growing clover and feeding it out on
the farm. Drain whenn needed, cultivate
thoroughly so ms to develop the plant
food in the soil, and then grow clover
to take up and organize this plant-food.
This is how to make land rich by grow
ing clover, and the clover takes it up
and prepares it in best shape for other
crops. The clover does not create plant
food, but merely saves it.
Statistics brought up to October 1
show that the inoctlation of splenic fe-
yer, according TO Pasteur's method, was
performed on 160 tlocks, comprising 68,-
600 sheep, of which 1886 were vacci-
mated, and 1888 left uninOculated, SO
as to Judge of the results of the differ
ence of treatment. Before vaccination,
the losses caused by splenic fever
amounted, in the whole of the focks, to
1886 animals. During vaccination, and
until its effects were perfected, 260
sheep out of the whole number of 80, $40
pershed. During the same period, the
mortality rose to 366 out of the group of
2l,938 which were not vaccinated.
When the effects of vaccination were
complete in the first group. the mortali-
ty from splenic fever fell to five. This
rate has persisted up to the present
time; and the next statistical account
will give, it is expected, the same ,satis-
factory results as regards the groups OF
animals vaccinated and left unvacci-
mated. -.--
