AGRFCULTTRE.
Encouraging Increase in Prices OF
Products and in Exports.

The report of the secretary Of agriculture
deserves especial attention in view OF the
fact that the year has been marked in very
unusual degree by agitation and organization
among the farmers looking to an increase IN
the profits of their business. 1t Will be
found that the efforts of the department have
been intelligently and zealously devoted to
the promotion of the interests lntrusted to its
care A very substantial Improvement in
the market prices Of the leading farm pro-
ducts during the year is noticed The price
of wheat advanced from 81 cents in October,
1889, to 81 .0O21 in October, $780, corn, from
81 cents to sos cents; oats, from 29s4 cents
to 43 cents, and barley, from 63 cents to IS
cents. Meats showed substantial but not
SO large an increase.
The export trade in live animals and fowls
shows very large increase. The total
in such exports Tor the year ending June 30,
1880, was $4,000, 900, and the increase over
the preceding year was over Sl5O0O,0OO.
Nearly 200, 900 cattle aud over 5000 more
hogs were exported than in the preceding
year. The export trade in beef and pork and
in dairy products was very largely increased,
the increase in the article Of butter alone
being from l5,5Oi,01S pounds to ~ iSOi2
pounds, and the total increase in the value of
meat and dairy products exported being
S3i,000,00O This trade, so directly
helpful to the farmer, it is be-
lieved will be yet further and
largely increased when the system of inspec-
by law is brought fully into operation. The
efforts of the secretary toestabsh the health
fulness of our meats against the disparaging
imputatiOns that have been put on them
abroad have resulted in substantial progress.
Veterinary surgeons sent out by the depart
ment are now allowed to participate in them
spection of the live cattle in this country
landed at English docks, aud during the sew
eral months they have been on duty no case
of contagious pleuro pneumonia has been re-
ported This nspectionabroad and the do
mestR inspection of live animals and
pork products, provided for by the act
of August 30 1890, will afford as per-
feet "a guaranty ford the whoesomeness
of our meats offered for foreign consumption
as is anywhere Tiven TO- any food product,
and its non acceptance will quite clearly re-
veal the real motiveof any continued restric-
tion of their use. nd that having been made
clear the duty of the executive will be very
plain.
The beet Sugar Industry.
The information givenlby the secretary Of
the progress and pros pedts of the beet sugar
industry is full of interest. 1t has already
passed the experimental stage and is a COM
mercial success. The area over which the
sugar beet can be successfully cultivated is
very large and another field crop of great
value is offered tOt the choice of the farmers.
The secretary of the treasury concurs in
| the recommendation of the secretary of agri.
culture that the official supervision provided
by the tariff law for sugar of domestic pro
duction shall be transferred to the depart
ment of agriculture 5-- 10.

'IMPORTANT Es.
Legislation Which Should be Attended
to at this Session.

In addition to the bills that became laws
before adjournment of the last session some
other bills of the highest Importance were
well advanced toward a final vote and now
stand upon the calendars of tho two houses
in favored positions. The present session has
a fixed limit, and if these measures are not
now brought TO a final vote all the work that
has been done upon them by this congress is
lost The proper consideration of these, ofan
apportionment bill and of the annual appro-
priation bills will require not only that no

THE LAND OFFICE.
Claims Adjudicated with Promptn ess
and lmpartiality.

The policy outlined in my annual mes
sage in relation to the patenting of lands to
settlers upon the public domain has been car
ried out in the administration of the land
office. NO general suspicion or imputation of
fraud has been allowed to delay the heaI ing
and adjudication of individual cases upon
their merits. Their purpose has been to per-
promptness that the value of the entry might
not be swallowed up by the expense and ex-
tortions to which delay subjected the claim
ant. The average monthly issue of agri-
cultural patents has been increased about six
thousand.

The legislation of the past few years has
evidenced on the part of congress growing
realization of the Importance OF the consular
service In fosterlng our commercial relations
abroad and in protecting the domestic rev

up the essential standard of efficiency. The

The Public Building Veto.
At the last session had occasion to return
with my objections several bills making pro-
visions for the erection of public buildings for
the reason that the expenditures were in my
opinion greatly in excess Of any public need.
No class of legislation is more liable to abuse
or to degenerate into an unseemly scramble
about the pu bile treasury than this. There
should be exercised in this matters wise
economy based upon some responsible and
impartial examination and report as to each
case under general law.

POSTAL AFFAIRS.
Gratifying Result. of Business Princf
pics in the Departm

The report of the postmaster general
shows the most gratifying progress in the
work committed to his direction. The busi-
large economy in expenditures and an in
crease of Si,750,0 900 in receipts have been
realized. The deficiency this year is s., 1885,
300, as against $3.50, 1888 last year, notwith-
standing the great enlargement of the SER
vice. Mail routes have been extended and
quickened and greater accuracy and dispatch
in distribution and delivery have been at
tanned. The report will be found full of in
terest and suggestion, not only to congress,
but to those thoughtful citizens who may be
interested to know what business methods
can do for that department Of public admin
istration which most nearly touches all our
people.
