American Agriculture. The agricul
tural report lor 1867 notices the steady
advance of agriculture in this country as
indicated by the increasing demand for
agricultural book3, newspapers and re
ports, tft improvements in our farming
implements and machines0the number of
cultured and rich men who are engaged
in- farming, an) the founding of agricul
tural schools in the different Slates. The
report notes, however, a serious danger to
our agricultural prosperity in the careless
and wasteful methods of farming which
ore prevalent in tbo West. It says : ''West
ern farmers are finding true the remark
of the late Henry L. Ellsworth, made
twenty years ago, that the profits of wheat
appear well in expectation, on paper, but
the prospect is blasted by the appearance
of insects, bad weather in harvesting, or
transportation to market, or, last, a fluctua
tion in tho market isself ;' and many are
inclining to the belief of Lord Brougham.
that grazing countries are always the
most prosperous and their population the
most contented and happy.'"
The extensive grants of land to railway
companies are next referred to. The re
port accuses these companies of an op
pressive djsSrimination against the farm
ing interest. It says they exact "much
the larger portion of the value of
the
crops for their transportation to market.
So onerous is this burden that the cost of
transportation of wheat from Chicago and
other Western centres to the Atlantic cities
is greater than from San Francisco, by
way of Cape Horn, to the same points.'
On wool production the report says : "Our
wool production is now more than equiva
lent to two-thirds of a full supply, and
with an increase of worsted wools, al
ready initiated and progressive, and more
attention to the finer varieties of clothing
wools, there will scarcely be occasion lor
any imports whatever, with the exception
of coarse carpet styles, complete provi
sion for which exists at a nominal rate of
duty."
After alluding to the present unsettled
condition of the Southern States, and men
tioning the fact that the distribution of
$50,01)0 worth of seeds has been made, as
ordered by Congress, the report goes into
the question of their natural productive
ness : "Florida is destined to be a winter
garden, yielding market supplies to north
ern cities without a risk of competition
and offcuges, figs, and olives, and other
frills of semi-tropical climes. Between
thjg-water and the lower slopes of the
mountains is a region producing whfat ol
a better quality than that of any section
north of it, the entire range of farm pro
ducts grow in great profusion, and such
fruits as apples, cherries, and grapes with
certainty and success. The mountain region,
almost unappropriated and unknown, at
an elevation varying from fifteen hundred
to six thousand feet, is the great grazin
section of North America sufficient to
furnish abundant pasturage through the
year to millions of cattle and sheep.
These mountain slopes are generally free
from surface rocks, covered with forest
growths interspersed with grassy glades,
Qand fertile to their summits."
The experimental farm tests of seeds of
cereals and garden vegetables, both for
tign and domestic, have been successfully
continued, though the area cultivated is
quite too limited for the best results. Of
tue o b varieties included in the- experi
ments, to were 01 winter oats. 60 of spring
wheat, of winter rye. 16 of snrintr rvt
'21 of barley, 20 of oats, 10 of corn, 21) of
grass seeus, J ot sorgtmm, 9 of sugar
beew, or peas, rfb or potatoes, ami -i7
of melons. The total distribution of seeds
tor the-year amount to 1.42U.U37 paoers
The report, in conclusion, recommends the
taking of the census every five years, in

A Grand Scheme. A company
is organizing for the purpose of con
necting Marin county with San Fran
cisco by a magnificent suspension
bridge across the entrance to the
harbor, from Lime Point to a place
near Fort Point. The distance
across is one mile. It is calculated
to build an immense oval cutwater
pier in the centre which would be
200 feet across at the widest point
and raised ltb leet above the sur
face of the water. Ihe span on
either side reaching to the shore
abutments would be 2,000 feet long
and ll- feet above the hih water
line, nuording space oelow lor the
larirest shins to pass. The body of
the bridge is to be 01 iron sustained
on the suspension principle with w ire
cables. It is proposed to construct
a double railway across, and to have
.1 lighthouse on the central pier, the
base of the bridge to be 100 feet
wide on each of the short abutments.
The company propose to erect a re
volving monitor tower for the free
use of the United States, at the cost
of arming them.
