Let communications be timely, and be sure that they are brief and well pointed. Agriculture in CJongrcoe. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has introduced in the United States Senate a bill "To procure and pub- Halt certain information relative to the demand and price of American agricultural products in foreign coun tries." The bill was projierly refer red to the committee on agriculture, of which Mr. Valentine, of Nebrasku, is chairman. The agricultural report for 1880, is riot yet printed, uml 00,• 000 copies of thesnriusl report of the Commissioner of Agriculture to be printed. "n the 27th of June, General l.e I>uc, late Commissioner of the Agricultural Department, delivered to ibis office the copy ol his annual report for 1880, having previously furnished copy for i his special report on ''Contagious dis ea*e of domestic minis.*," a portion of which to te incorporated in the an nual report. The copy for the special rejwirl, being regarded a* iuot iiiijm r Mat, was first put in tbe hands ol the cnfiijioMtor. I he edition of 60 000 copies, making 301 pages, and containing 6-1 lithocau*- tio illustrations, has been printed, and ihe number ol volumes to which tiie •senate and Commissioner of Agrirul- i lure are entitled have been delivered, and tbe number of volume* to which (lie House i* entitled are being deliver ed as rapidly as they can lie taken care of by the superintendent of the House folding room. P.y the 22-i day of last October dupli cate proofs of the annual lejairt of the 'Commissioner were sent to the Agricui , tural Department, one set to he used , for the purpose of making an index ; and a list of the illustrations, the copy for which baa not ybt been received at lip* office. Aside from this it is proper to call the ] attention of the committee to the labor ; and time required to print and bind and deliver an edition of 300.000 volumes. 1 Tbe report makes fisO pages, (without the index,) which have been stereo typed, It will contain 63 lithocaustic illustration* and 73 pages of wood cut engraving*. The lithocaustic process of printing is necessarily slow, as many of the col ored plates must pass through the press six and eight times to give them the proper tint and finish. The 300,000 volumes will require 63.M)0O0O pistes, the printing of which cannot be done in lesi time than eight months in the most extensive lithocaustic establish ment in this country. These must be handled separately in pasting in the volume at the proper place. Aa there was no appropriation avail able to pay for doing this work until tbe commencement of the present fiscal year, the contract was not entered into until the 2d day of July last. I hope to lie able to commence the delivery of this re|>ort, at the rate of 4.000 per day, by the 15th of January, and to continue doing so until the whole number shall be delivered. The amount of printing ordered by Congress and the Departments hs* be come so great and is so rapidly inrreo* ing that the Public Printer must have a corresponding increase of tbe facilities to do the work, or else the rcquisiiion* upon him must be lessened. It should tie remembered that a great deal of printing and binding ordered is essential In carrying on the business of the Government, ami must have pre cedence over printing and binding of les* importance. I would most respectfully suggest that, if it be possible for the Commie sionerof Agriculture to present hi* re port to Congress at an early dav of the session, and an order to print is imme diately made, the time of its publica tion will be limited only by the time required to furnish the number of litli ocatistio illustrations which future re ports msy contain.

AT the last regular meeting of the ! Lancaster county agricultural so ciety, one of the members, Mr. Kurtz, of Mount Joy, staled that lie had seldom wen wheat looking better than it does thin season, and "that planted on tobacco ground as among the best to lie seen."' The generous manuring and clean cultivation re- I quired to make the tobacco crop a success, arc an excellent preparation I of the ground for wheat. THE general scarcity of feed and the prevailing fair weather combine | to tempt farmers to turn their cattle | upon the mowing fields occasionally. When the ground is frozen hard | enough to bear, this may not In- w riously objectionable, though it is not good policy at any time. When, however, the ground is soft enough ; to retain the imprint of the animals ; hoofs wherever they go, we protest | against it, in the interests of next summer's hay crop. It will not do to entirely ignore the future in en deavoring to tide over the difficulties of'the present. Importune© of Protecting Stcck in Winter. \>li fiiti UlrS'.-k J „ifnl It is a common belief that diges tion is promoted by exjiosure to colli. •NY 1 1Iti ii certain limit* this is true, but outside of these limits llie converse is true. Thus, an animal exposed to the extent of sintering from IMH, or, what is worse, cold and wet, will lie subject to such interruption of the circulation as will disturb digestion. The blood will lie driven from the surface and limbs to the vital oigans, and the ctrect of such undue pressure upon the minute blood veasels of t.he stomach.will be to blunt its sensibil ities and retard the natural process of digestion. Every one knows that too much blood in the brain sus|>cnds its functions. Under moderate pres sure a moderate degree of stupor sets in. I nder severe pressure jier feet coma supcrrcncs, during which there is a suspension of brain mani festations. What is true ol the brain is equally true of the stomach, and in place of cold being an invigoralor, under some circumstances it becomes a cause of great hindrance to the di gestive process. The cow that is tied in a dry, well bedded stall, is fed there, and allow ed to remain till digestion is pretty i nearly accomplished, will go through j the process more expeditiously than in any condition where less comfort is guaranteed. The explanation is very simple. If the circulation lo undisturU-d by cold—allowed to re main in its natural channels—it will ! flow to the stomach during the diges tive process in exactly the amount required—in other words, in a slight- j ly freer quantity than when the organ 1 i* at rest. After the process is com- ■ plctcd, the extra flow will return to j lhe general circulation. Nov, as stated, the undue exposure to which , farm stock is subjected in inclement j weather is damaging alike to the \ beast and to the purse of ila owner. The abstraction of beat in resisting i undue cold, the interruption of diges- j lion in the manner named, and the ! appropriation of the accumulated fat j to enable the system to carry on its wsr with the elements, are reasons sufficient to deter any man from leav-; ing stock in the outer air, to their i discomfort. It Is infinitely cheaper j and better to feed corn and hay by ; the mouth, at the going prices of I these, than to sustain the beast upon its own accumulated fat. Stock tho Rolianoe for Manure. From U>* IMn*i (hirlli. llapidly as the towns and cities are growing, they are utterly inadequate to supply farmers with the manure necessary to keep tbelr farina In a j liigh state of cultivntlou. What they do supply i* all scgerly seized and appropriated liy near-by gardeners and truckers, and at rates wiih which farmers cannot compete. With an efficient system of street cleaning this supply might Isr largely increas ed, but that period is as yet some distance off. Commercial fertilizers have more or less value, but are un certain as to good results, and al ways certain to cost heavily. They are evidently more valuable to their makers than to anybody else, though under the new system of Ktate in spection the chances for wholesale swindling are hopefully diminishing. Nothing can be predicted in advance as to the results of a special fertil izer, and hence thousands of dollars spent in this way bring no visible re turn. The common farmer, then, is obliged to look at home for his fer tilizers. He must have them or sink. Stock is the liest recourse, and dairy animals in particular. A Noted Farm. Among the famous farms of Port age county, i- the Olin farm, near liaventui, consisting of 2iio acres in the valley of the Cuyahoga river. This farm lias been continuously cropjied in grain for over forty years, and is yearly growing more productive, a fact entirely due to clover, lor aside from the small amount of manure made by a small drove of cattle, no commercial ler lilizers have been used. Within a few years the cattle have been in creased so that the stock of the farm now consists of fifty bend of Miort Horns. The proceeds of the farm this year were 'J. 400 bushels of wheat, 3,000 of corn, COO of |>otatocB, 300 of oats, and a large amount of clover seed. This fall over 100 acres have been put in wheat, with a promising show. This brings up a curious fact, and shows how little soil and its ' character w ere understood years ago. In 183" mv father came from Ver mont to this State, and in quest of a farm visited the <.ne above. The price was put at SI" per acre, but the soil was objected to as lacking strength, and a clay farm was bought a dozen miles to the northwest, at the rate of >• |>* r acre. The former is now held above $1( 0. and the other could possibly lie bought for $. r >o jer acre, (treat as is the difference in value, the clay farms, under the new system of rotation of crops and fre quent plowings under of clover, arc rapidly gaining ground upon the sandy lands, and now seem likely to even surpass them in productiveness. It ha* taken the clay farmers a long time to learn bow. but the slitrclays are now becoming like gardens. Feed or Blood? l'rU Tl**. in F*rtnt. Some ay it's all in the Mood, and , some aay it's all in what goes into the mouth that make* the animal. I don't M-lieve it is either. (>ood hlood is u good thing. All ought to try to have it. But no matter bow good the Mood with poor care and had feeding you will have a poor animal. And vice versa, poor, or impure hlood and good care and keeping will make a fair animal. A ooon many formers ami country residents pay one of their heaviest taxes to the weather. They pay this tax by leaving wagons, plows, bar rows, rakes, trowels, spades, and other implements exposed to dews and rains snd sun, by which they become weak uil useless twice as quick as tbey wQpild with good usage and protection. That is, fifty per cent, of their actual value is lost. It cannot be otherwise, unless care is exercised, for dew is very destructive to all wood, and sun cracks admit rain and moisture to the interior filters to woik injury there. If you do not believe this, try keeping your tools and implements under cover and protected from the weather, and see if they do not last enough longer to pay for the trouble. A few boards or a straw cover is better tbao noth ing. WHAT yonng breeders and feeders want to learn how to do, ia to make the most valuable animals for 'the butcher, at the earliest age practica ble. K very body knows that by hcav ily feeding already fat and old cattle, from year to year, enormous weight can lc obtained. Monstrous bovine "mountains of grease" can 1* made, but they are not what the butchers want, except on rare occasions, such as celebrations and the like, when many people arc willing to eat had leef and think it nice, just because it came from the carcass of a huge show steer. Early development i what we want. These immense steer* of .1,000 pounds or more are well enough to look at, but except for show they are worth little, being profitable to neither producer, butch er nor consumer.
