Jersey Grain and Live stock.

The United States authorities have just is
sued their April bulletin, which deals extern
sively with the condition of grain and live
stock in the state of New Jersey. Under
the head of grain it is stated that the Au-
tumn seeding of grain was begun in Sep
tember and continued until the latter part
of October. Throughout the country the
present appearance of thisc crop, after the
ordeal of freezing and thawing, is not
promising. The April average is lower
than usual. New Jersey is quoted in the
table as wheat at 95 and rye at 81, and
which is only exceeded by California. The
county reports are as follows: Union,
generally good Essex, good and growth
strong Bergen receives 100 for growth !;
Cape May, wheat is backward Atlantic,
%middling MiddleseT, fine and growth
good, except on fiat places, where it is dis
colored; Gloucester made good early
growth and came through the Winter IN
good condition +; Burlington, good and
even, a few injured places, not large, but
healthy looking, outlook favorable Nor
lis, good in condition and growth Cam
den, growth below the average Hunterdon
favorable prospects Sussex, fine growth I;
Mercer stood the Winter well and begins
to look green.
The report shows that the loss of horses
during the year was large. The epidemic
of cerebro.spinal meningitis that spread
through the five lower counties added to
the number. There were in the state o.
397 horses the loss was 1910. The per-
centage of loss wes equal to Pennsylvania
and Virginia. which is 1.6 per cent.
The cattle have passed a good Winter.
Plenro-pneumonia existed in the upper
part of the state, particularly in the vicin-
ity of Jersey City. The loss in the state is
light. Out of 246, 655 head of cattle the
loss was ssa0-or about . per cent of the
whole. Disease and dogs have made a bad
showing among the sheep, 1895 died
through the year from these two causes
The total number on record is 105, 279.
