The Uiii'fnl Arts liacl been cultivated with considerable suc- 

 cess. Agriculture bad advanced witli steady pace, until the 

 improved lands had an area of nearly five-and-a-half-million 

 acres, and a total valuation of more than three hundred mill- 

 ion dollars. Horticulture had Avon many honors in its strug- 

 gles with the adversities of climate. The inventive genius of 

 our citizens had made valuable contributions to the mechanic 

 arts. Manufactures had reached an aggi-egate annual produc- 

 tion of more than eighty million dollars, and in some impor- 

 tant classes gained a supremacy in the western markets. State 

 and county societies were in successful operation, guiding and 

 stimulating the industry of the state in its various depart- 

 ments. Books and lesser documents had been regularly issued 

 by authority of the legislature, while periodical and occasion- 

 al publications, looking to the same end, had made good 

 record of individual enterprise, and sown tlie seed of future 

 harvests, as will appear from the following catalogue of indus- 

 trial publications ;
