Our Agriculture.

The annual report OF Secretary Nor.
ton of the department OF agriculture
gives a hopeful view OF the condition
Of American farmers. More than sew
en-tenths Of all the farms in the coun-
try. according to Mr.. Morton, are en-
tirely unencumbered by mortgages.
Our exports OF farm products last year
reached the enormous total of $780,
100000. a considerable increase over
the preceding year. OF live meat ar
irving in Great Britain during the first
mali OF the present year, we supplied
three-quarters Of the cattle and nearly
ene-half Of the sheep. There is an
increasing demand in England for
American horses. The secretary at
tributes the saving Of two million dol
iars in the expenses Of his department
during the last three years, largely to
the improved personnel of the service
under the civil service rules.
