ENCOURAGING INDICATIONS. Th'ri Avnual Report of the Secrotary of Agriculturs, NO DEMAND FOR FOREIGN PRODUCTS. Stock Ine for What the System of Live apection Has Accomplished American Produc ports and Imports, s 1ix- Wasmxatoy, D, C., Secretary Rusk, in his third annual report as secrotary of agriculture, says that, notwithstanding the abundant yield of crons this year, values are well sustained, and estimates that tho increase in the value of agricultural products over last yoar will be not less than §700,000,- 000. He states that duri the first threo months of the present fiscal yoar our 6xports in cereals alone bave aggrogatod $760,000,000, and the indications now that the sales abroad of tho surplus from our farms will, Auring the present year, largely exceed those of any previous year. He notes theincrease by somo $28,000,000 in the imports of agricultural produets dur- ing the first ten months under tho present law, by comparison with the same pecioa during the last year of theold law, but emphasizes the fact that the increaso is con- fined largely to articles not competing with home products, such as sugar, tea, coffee, ete. At tho same time he states t the changein tho rates has checked the importation of products which may be produced at hom 1o notes decrense in_ tobacco from §4,000, 000 10 $5,000,000; @ faliing off of foreign bar Jey of nearly £350,000,000: in horses a falling off of nearly 1,500,000, and a gradual decline in the imports of all live stock. Referring to the import of hides admittegd free of duty, he states that this causes a great depreeia tion in prices realized for hides, of home pro- dution, and carnostly recommends that the duty provided for in section three of tho tariff act proved Oclober 1, 1500, be im- posed in ull cases where the countries from which such hides aro shipped, have not granted equal concossions in regacd to the admission of the agricultural products of the United Statos. Inspeuking of the nspection of meat for exportation. the secretary says: “Our peo- ic demand something more than protection rom communicablo diseases. In most, if not all, Buropean countri2s inspectors, according to ther reports, freely pass for consumption the meat of animais affected with foot and mouth_discaso, pleuro-pnemoniz, localized tuberculosis, actinomosis and similar dis- enses, which, according to the views and cus- toms of this country, must be condemned. But all the meat for the foreien markot 15 inspected the same as that designed for home consumption. In this respect, as 1 others, wo have met the objections which have been raisod to American products, and have not only removed the cause, but' have gone bo- yond what was asked by our critics.” Up 10 October there has been a total of 1,106,614 animals inspected, both before and after slaughter: there were 63,072 carcasses of hogs examined microscopically, and the total tumber of animals condemued and sent to the fertilizing tanks were but 1,076, Tho costof tho work has been within the antici- pated lumt, and is being considerably reduced as the work proceeds. Secrotary Rusk says: I am of the opin- ion that the iuspection of animals and thero marketing for identification may be accom- plished for a sum not. exceoding conts per head, and that the cost of microscopal exam- ination of hogs wiil not exceed 5 conts por head.” Ho earnestly recommends that congress be asked to make an appropriation sufticiently largo to extend the inspection to all appli- cants. Ho estimates that the losses to Ameri- can pork raisers during the past ten years, owing to the prohibition by foreign countrios, aggregates over $260,000,000. Pleuro-pnen- moua, he regards as quite under control, and limited in torritory to two or threo counties in Long Island and in New Jersoy over which a quarantine is_exercised. Tho inspection by American _veterinarians of cattle landed in Great Britain has been continued, as well as inspeotion of such animals before shipment. Since tho beginuing of this work, there has been iuspected, altogether, up to Octobor 1, 1891,' 826,519 bead of auimals. A very slight decrease in the num- bor of cattle exported is noted which is at- tributed to the wcrease in price, cattle bring- g in June, 1501, from $1.25 to $1.50 per head moro tuan in June, 1890. The inspection of imported auimals has boen rigidly main- tained. ‘'ho result of the inspection of ves- sels carrying export cattle has baca to re- duco the losses from lnck of ventilation, overcrowding and weak fistings; the total number of vessels examined since July 1, 1891, has been 205, The supervision by the burduu of tha mevement of southern cattle has mvolved the separation and keeping dis- tinet transportation, over 40,000 cars contaln- ing 1,000,000 head of cattle. While tho ro- sults' of this work have boen highly bene- ficlal, ho asks for further powers to enablo him fo compel a strict compliance with his regulations in the movement of all southern cattle. The secretary points ouf the fact that for more than a year thore has boon no_ woll au- thonticated cases of pleuro-pueumonia in American_cattle oxportod to foroign coun- tries, and adds that the condition of tho United States trade and the vigilant supor- vision of the government_justify tho strong- est presentation to the British government of the greivance which the cattle raisers suffer unjustly by reason of its arbitrary rogulations enforced against American cattlo, coupled with an urgent demand for their removal. They have been clearly shown to be useless, aud their maintenance can only be regarded as an evidenco of uniriendli- ness. He concludes thut *-Justice ns woll as proper self-respect domand such a course,” aad adds that he shall, in the absenco of the removal of such unfiiondly restrictions, feel it his duty to suggest the rigid enforcement of the luw now in existence prohibiting tho import into the United States of all live animals, but at present susponded as & mat- ter of friendship to foreign governments, He regards iv as highly desivavle that the people of foreign countries should be in- Tormed of America’s resourcos and facilitios for supplying their wants, und vefers to the work done in Great Britalu during the past year by tha special agent of the department charged with introducing Indian corn and its products to the attention of luropeans as an economic and nutritious ~ substi- tute for other coroal foods, and bignly commends tho ' work already done in this direction. The secretary deoms it the duty of his department to keep tho farmor fully iuformed of tho market value of his wares, in order that he may know before he markefs his goods just what their value is, He congratulates the country upon the suc- cess of tho oxperiments in the extraction of suger from sorghum. ‘“I'hero seoms to b no reason,” ho said, “whby we should not look forward with' confidence to the day when the $100,000,000 paid by Americans to foreign producers of sugars should not be Jurned into the pockets of our own people.’ In all Amoricans’ efforts towards diversify- iug their erops, climatie conditions must play an important part, and in this connection ho declares his conviction of theimportance and value to agricuitural interests of the transfer to nis department of the Weather bureau. He takes occasion to higbly commeud the solection by the president of Prof. Harriug- ton as the chief of the bureau. The secre tary notes with satisfaction thio geveral and growing intorest shown by all clusses in this country in the cause of agriculture and tho work of his department. Ho exprossos a desiro for closer co-operation betwoen the various educational forees in the country for tho advancement of practical agriculture, and urges that the slonder thread connecting the devartment with tho ugricultural coliowes and stations be strengthened. Without i any way limiting ihe action of these in stitutious he refors to the representation of the department at the Munich congress of meteorologists by Prof. Harrington. He councludes by suggesting that as those fnter- national congresses ere biennial and their next meeting will consequently occur in 1898, it would be highly desirable if arrangements wore made by which their next moeting should take place n this country on the oc- oasion of the Columbian fair. In roviewing the work of the division of chemistry, with reference to the adulteration of foods, the secretary emphasizos especially the adulterations of coffea which are found to extend 1o ® very large bvercentage, bob oaly of e ground coffee buy ol the coffee bean, wholly artificial beans bay log been introduced ‘fnto tho market of which many samples bought ou the open Nov. 8 market wore found to largely consist. These artificial beans are sold to the trade at 4 cents a pound. 1 @ largs measuro they aro imported and the scoretary nrges thatsuch importations, as well as thoir manufacturo and use in_this country be absolutely pro- hibited. The report reviows the work of ihe several divicions of the department and con cludes with the statement, mmade advisedly, “That each one of morc than adozen di visions, whoso work 1 have reviewed. actual value tothe courtry during the year, is worth far more than tha entire an- nual’ appropriation accorded to this dopart- mont.”" Touching the oxperiments in pro- ducing rain, he states briefly that they boeen made but that he has no data yet at hand which would justify him in expressing any nclusions on the subject. Tu concluding his rep cretary Rusk states that from tho timo he assumed the reins of office he has divided his personal at tention to general enlargoment of the scops of the work of the department in the interest of practical agriculture, especiatly the exten sion of a mariet for the disposal of the sur plus of the great staple crops. Ho points out that to fully carry out his views will ungues tionubly involve liveral expenditures, but ho says that within twenty years the efforts of thgdopartment, on such ~ lines as he has laid down, will nave increased the value of tho annual agricultural products from between £.000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000 to at least twice that cnormus sum - GULD BRIC Substantial Evidence of South Da- kota's Rich Mining Property.

Ihad long dosired to visit a place which no one “daians with faint praise.”” Almost at tho end of tne season the cpportunity came. In the crowd at the Avalon landing it was ensy enough to separato from the new-com orsthose who had beon long ou the island Tho sun had painted the line of demurkation. Thaere wus also a cortain directness and ua- cousciousness in their bearing, as if their ! souls also had boen wearing old clothes und were at ease. We ontered with delight upon ures of the place. The record of one day, taken from u journal kept during our visit, will give you a fair idea of what these were.
