rented farms are worth over $25.0OO
each. AS to tac size Of the farms, a15
are under three acres, and ia over 1900
acres. There are 1854 from so to 100
acres, 17.ls1 from 100 to ITS acres, 5S62
from LIS to 260 acres, 1898 from 260 to
500 acres, and SIG from 500 to 1000
acres.
We can mention or summarize only
a few of the many tables found in the
bulletin. One in relation to live stock
is of much interest as it shows the
great decrease in oxen. In 1850, 1888
working oxen We're reported; in 1860,
70, .92; in 1870, 6O,530; in 1880, 1909; in
1896, 80, los. In 1900 the total number
of steers over 2 years old was only %
59s, and is is probable that many OF
these were not working oxen. In
1900 there were 1O6,299 horses, more
than twice as many as in 1850; 252, ,213
sheep and 79,01S swine. The number Of
sheep has been decreasing rapidly since
1880 when there were 565,918. In 1889
the amount paid for labor by Maine
farmers was 81 667, ,26O, and for fertil-
izers there was paid $S19,6SO. The ex-
penditures for fertilizers was so per
cent. larger than it was 10 years
earlier.
a., af Ia n
Maine and the increasing popularity
of its summer resorts have largely in
creased the demand for dairy produce
in this State. The number of dairy
cows has steadily increased and in
1900 there were 1852. The present
Importance Of this industry is shown
by the fact that in 1899 the proprietors
of 17.74O farms, or 1913 per cent. of the
farms of the State, derived their
principal income from dairy produce.
The production of milk in 1889 was A.
Sl6.397 gallons greater than in 1889. a
gain of 71.S per cent. In every county
except Androscoggin, the quantity of
milk sold in 1899 was more than three
times as great as that sold in 1879. OF

dairy products in 1899, s2,561, ,239 repre-

Agriculture in Maine.

We have Just received census bulle-
lin No. 1879 which deals with the sub
iect of agriculture in Maine, and find
it a document full Of interesting state
ments and valuable figures regarding
our great farming industry. To be
sure the statistics are those gathered
in June, 1900, and so are now nearly
two years old, but they are the latest
to be had. The bulletin affords no
comparison with other states, and not
so many with earlier years in Maine
as we wish it had. There is very lit
tie cheer for the pessimist and preach
er of calamity in this bulletin. and
much encouragement for those who
have faith in Maine as an agricultural
State.
In this bulletin Names land area is
given at 29,S95 square miles of which
9,S44 or almost exactly one third, are
included in farms. The farms OF
Maine, June /, 1900, numbered 59,299,
and had a value Of $9s, ,5O2, $50. OF this
amount s47,142,7eO, or 4s.9 per cent.
represents the value of buildings, and
s49, 1856, ,45O, or 511 per cent, the value
Of land and improvements other than
buildings. On the same date the value
of farm implements and machinery
was IS. 800, ,72O, and of live stock, $17,-
10000. These values, added to that or
farms. give the total value of farm
property" $l22, 2,4lO,904. The products
derived from domestic animals, poul-
try. and bees, including animals sold
or slaughtered on farms, are referred
to in this bulletin as animal
products" The total value of all such
products, together with the value of all
crops is termed total value OF farm
products" This value for 1899 was
s37l13. 469, of which SIS, ,159,415 repre-
sents animal products, and s2l 4,0aA
the value of crops. The total value for
1899 exceeds that of 1889 by $15,064, 249,
but the bulletin suggests that part
of this apparent increase is due to the
more detailed enumeration of 1900.
The following table gives by decades
for half a century the number OF
farms and their acreage.

The number of farms in 1900 was t.
5s9 greater than in 1850, gain of 26.S
per cent. Since 1880, however, the
number has been decreasing, the loss
for the past decade having been 2'l4
farms. or "A per cent. Seven counties,
Aroostook. Kennebec, Androscoggin'
sagadahoc, Franklin. Knox and OK
ford. in the order named, showed an
increase Of farms in 1900 over 1890.
Except in the decade 1sSO-lS9O, the
total farm acreage has increased
steadily since 1850. An increase since
1890 of l2O. .21O acres, accompanying the
decrease in the number of farms, re-
suited in again of GA acres in the
average size of farms. which was
larger in 1900 than at any previous
time. The acreage of improved land
increased steadily until 1880, when
marked decline began, and in 1900 the
percentage of farm land improved was
smaller than ever before reported.
This change, although less marked
than in other New England states, is
doubtless due to the same general
causes, namely. the demands of
growing city population for the
products of special branches Of agri-
culture. notably dairying and market
gardening, and the competition OF
western land in cereal production. The
lands which are most fertile and most
easily titled have been retained under
cultivation and made increasingly
productive AS a result, the aggregate
income derived from meadow, orchard,
and plow lands is now greater than 1t
was in 1860, although the acreage un-
der cultivation is considerably less.
The less fertile lands have been found to
afford greater incomes as permanent
pastures than as meadow or plow
lands. and each decade since 1870 has
shown an increasing acreage of such
land reported as unimproved.
The bulletin shows that though the
farms have decreased in number the
total value of farm property has not
decreased but increased from 1890 to
1860, that the value of farm products
is much greater than ever before, that
live stock, except oxen, has held its
own. and that there has been a marked
increase in the value of farm imple-
mcnts and machinery. These things
show the prosperity Of agriculture in
our State, and since the census was
taken in June. 1900. exceptional pros
perity has blessed the farmers OF
Maine, so that if the figures were up
to date they would be much better
still.
