AGRICULTURAL SUMMARY
Of Crops and Farm Animals For 1884.

OF Crops and Farm Animals For 1884.
The state statistical agent for Minnesota, OF
the United States department of agriculture,
II. II. Young, has furnished to Hon. A. +.
Nordn, state commissioner Of statistics, u
summary of his reports to the department for
the past year, from which the following in
teresting Information is condensed:
The yields of all the grain crops are repre-
scented to have been more than usually
bOuntiful, and in many localities were the
largest ever obtained there. A somewhat
unusual feature of the reports, to which the
agent calls attention, is that the root
and grass crops seem to have
kept pace with the grain crops,
in being more productive than
common. The season, he remarks, appears
TO have been alike propitious for all branches
of agricultural industry.
The reduced prices ruling for grains have
been q serious drawback on the prosperity
of agriculturalists and that paid for wheat, he
says, is likely to cause a reduction of the
acreage sown to that grain this year fully 10
per cent, Notwithstanding the area of new
lands that will be brought under cultiva-
ton.
Farm animals generally he reports to
have been healthy. A few cases of glauders
occurred among horses and some sickness
among cattle was reported early in the sea-
son, but these ailments were confined to
limited localities, and the disease
prevailing amongst cattle was not
fatal in any instance, so far as
appears from the reports received by him.
There was an Increase of %, 735 head re-
rf..I ,k.n- Il mir fin
year; the number in the state on Jan. /,
1885, being 3l0,77 head. The reported av-
erage value per head was, however, consider
ably less than that given in the report of
January l, 1854 The az Mt regards this
shrinkage as more apparent than real, how
ever, it being his opinion that the figures
given last year were above the market price,
while those for 1885 are below it. The num-
Der of mules and asses was 10,450, an in
crease OF 303 during the year.
There is large increase in the number of
mich COWS during the year, amounting to
II 1897 head, the total being 352, 74S head.
The average price given per head is 81 more
than that Of the previous year.
Other cattle NUMBER 36l, 947 head, being an
increase of "a, S3S head, and the reported
value is SO. Is per head above the average for
January l, 1884.
OF sheep the number given is 2SS, 4S6, and
the value per head SO. rs; being 1904 head
more than were reported last year, and 80
cents per head of greater value. Hogs had
increased 81, I'll, the whole number being
reported as $40, 32S, but the average price
reported per head was considerably less.
The following is tabular statement of the
numbers and values of the several kinds of
animals, viz:

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.


A Defense of Schurz and Pulitzer.
To the Editor of the Globe:
AS an original mugwump desire to Offer
brief criticism on the editorial, in the
GLOBE of this date, headed "a Retreating
Statesman" In that article you say that ''the
mugwumps are claiming the whole Garth"
l respectfully deny the truth of this asser-
ton. / state, as matter of fact, that the
mugwumps have not, either collectively OF
Individually, made any claim of any nature
whatsoever upon Gov Cleveland, which,
take it, is the meaning of your charge. II is
true that the mugwumps, or Independent
Republicans, have intimated that they would
be pleased to see Senator Pendleton given q
cabinet position, but even that suggestion
was not made in the form of demand.
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, whose conduct furn-
ished the text for your article assailing US, is
not mugwump. On the contrary he is a
Democrat of long Standing, and Demo
cratic copgressman-eect.
believe the administration OF Mr.. Cleve-
land is going to open the way to the over
throw OF any party in the northwest which
inscribcs "protection'' upon its banners.
This can be done only by the transfer of a
large number Of Republican votes 10 the
Democratic party. Let me suggest to you
that it is not the part of wisdom for the lead
ing Democratic journal of this state to repel
these votes by such unjust articles as the one
mentioned. Minnesota is not West Virginia.
Your illusions TO Carl Schurz in the same
article show a lameutable ignorance Of the
life and career of that eminent man. He
has well won the consideration of the world
as statesman aud patriot. Unseldsh,
disnterested, filled with love of liberty, he
placed his life upon the altar Of his father
land, and afterwards upon that OF his adopted
country, from the purest and most patriotic
motives. The accusation that Mr.. Schurz is
II place hunter is as false aud as undeserved
as anything can be. He gave his time and
services to the support of Cleveland and
Hendricks without money aud without price,
and since election has declined purse of
money proposed to be raised for him by ad-
miring friends. Whether Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer
is or is not brother-in- law Of Carl Schnrz
DO not know, nor do [ care. One thing do
know is, that such connection is not liable
to disgrace him; and another thing is, that it
is very ungrateful in Democratic Journal to
cast any slurs upon Carl Schurz.

To-Day is the Day for Making the Selee'
ton.
According to the calendar and the usages
of tradition to-day, the l4th of February,is sa-
cred to the memory of ST. Valentine, and nc
doubt it will be observed with the usual in
terchauge of tokens of love and affection,
not to say contempt OF the part OF naughty
and jealously inclined young persons, as has
been customary from time immemoriaI.
According to tradition, st. Valentine, from
whom the day takes its name, was put to
death by the Emperor Claudus in Rome,
and to say the least the latter must have had
bad taste to execute so elegant gentleman,
especially if he possessed a 1.-THE of the
charms Of person or manners attributed 10
him by the veracous historians.
Foremost among the beautiful traditions
associated with the day is the legend that on
this day lovers choose their sweethearts, and
birds had drawn their mates and valen-
tines.

Another Judge Wanted.

The great increase of business in the Ram
sey county district courts for the past two
years, the January and September terms
overlapping each other, the special term cal
endars having trebled in size from former
years, and chamber hearings multiplied in
the same ratio, has constantly overworked
Judges Brill, Simons and Wilkin, while
from this rush of business many
vexatious delays have been occasioned
in the mill of justice and of con-
sequent detriment to those having business
therein as clients AMI counsel.
A number of weeks ago the members of
the Ramsey county bar held an Informal
meeting to discuss this subject, and the de-
cision was reached that the general needs
demanded the addition of another judge to
the county bench, but no definite action was
taken. Another meeting will be held at the
court house by these gentlemen at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon at which ii is to be hoped there
will be general attendance, to consider the
question of applying to the present legisla-
ture to create another district judge for this
district.
