AND SIIICKI*. The sheep and wool industry rrc.'ives special consideration in the report. Thogrowrth of the unit.on interest is referred to ns on a to be gr. ally encouraged. As to wool growing, the reduc ion of ilia tariff in I8t>;$ Is earnestly deplored. To it is attributed the great, roluciioii in the number of sheep, which h is since then fnllcii < IT by about s -ven million head, while the imp irtation of wool has increased from '7S,:i5tilii."?l pound iu 1881, to ltM.-|X7,Wy pounds the pnst year. 'On behalf of this industry,''says tho Hecrctary, "I recommend 1 liese fuels to you. and should tliey lie submit!od to Congress, I ask for them intelligent and careful const Iera! ion." In conclusion the raport submits figures slio.vin ; the import inc of agriculture,which produces an annual yield of neurly four thousand million dollar/, employing on the live million farms toumildon persons, reprcs nting a population of thirty m llion people, while tho value of livestock alone is estimated at $V},f>07,000,000. That ngrlonlturo underlie* all other industries, it alone making our vast cornmorco possible and render-' ing Hi* product of our mines valuable, as- ? sigi.s to it the first place on considering the well la-big und pros|>erlty of <ur country. Kofering to agricultural depression, tho report does not undertake the delicate duty of oar legislators in diagnosing it* causes and analyzing proposed panaceas, but the ri{ht of tint farmer to tho fullest enjoyment corn pitii-lo Willi th? right of his fellowciUztUis, ?>f the lipiicdt of tho protective system, la* etrues;ly insiste d upon. "For all such nrtides ns our own soil em produce, the farmer justly asks tho protection which will insure to him all the boiiolit# of our home markot." Tne Department of Agriculture isanotlior of t liotte agencies already in existence, which must lie energetically and judiciously dirrcted to aid the farmer hy supplying such an application of science 10 agriculture as will eiia'.tlu him, rapidly growing in intelligence ami self help us l.o is, to increase the yield of every tillable acre lifty per cent, nil I to greatly increase the area of tillable lands. The report concludes with this earnest exhortation: "The great uutions of Kuropo strain every nerve to mnke sciences the handmaid of w ir; lot it t>?? the glory of th' American people to make science the | handmaid of agriculture."
