Much of the heavy toll of former
days has been relleved by the improved
agricultural machinery of the present
day, and the farmer now sits comfort
ably behind his fast stepping team, ac-
complishing more work, and easier,
than was done by six men in our grand-
father’s days. And as to results, com-
pare prices of farm products in the
West sixty years sgo and now:
1828. Butter, 3 to 8c. Ib. 1888. 20 to 35¢
Eggs, 8 to Se. doz, “ 18 10 24c.

Corn, 15 to 20¢. bush, 48 to Me,

favor the producer, but he has also
great advantages in what he has to buy.
In 1828 common satinets sold §3 yard,

luxuries, they were simply out of the
reach of tue farmer at that UUme,
whereas now, they seem to have be-
come a necessity, from the fact that
prices wake them easily obtainable by
all.
As to the advantages of living in the
nifdeteenth century, they aren t to be
compared with the days of 1828. They
embrace Leller government, education-
al, social, travel, and the best markets
in the world, where 94 per cent, of the
product of agriculture may be profit-
ably disposed of, and by the results of
the recent election, these markets
will be preserved for the American
farmer.

a few facts furnished by the Bareau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department
at Washington. In 1876 the United
valued at $630,393, In 1885 it appears
that 16,098,450 dozen were imported,
valued at $2,476 672. or an
nearly four times the quantity first
named, Great Britain imports 785,-
O00 dozen egge, valued at $12 000.000.
Ireland furnishes $500,000,000 more,
and the home production is probably
equal to the home importation. The
annual production in the United States
amounts to 9,000,000,000, representing
a value of not less than $180,000,000
for eggs alone, Let those who worry
in reference to the fatare prosperity of
the pouliry business pouder the above
figures, and not be concerned about an
over-production which is far from like'y
to happen.
NEARLY four-fiftns of all the caali-
flowers supplied to the New York mar-
ket are grown, it is said, within a belt
of about thirty miles on Long Island
The soil and climate of this region is
peculiarly adapted to the development
of this excellent vegetab e, and nearly
every farm from Southold to Riverhead
is devoted to its cultivation. It is
stated that in ne other locality on Long
Island, or in the New Esgland or
Middle States, can the plant be grown
in such perfection, and this fact gives
Suffolk County practically a monopoly
and a yearly ncome of nearly $200,000
from this single lo vegetable.
More meat, , and better meat, and in
a shorter space of time can be produced
from pouitry than from any other
source, and the supply from poaliry
equals that of any other class of live
