Summary of Agricultural Values , cfc .— From the foregoing 
statistical figures, we are enabled to tabulate the several aggre¬ 
gates of capital invested in agriculture, as follows : 
Value of Land, in Farms, including buildings, &c. $131,117,082 
Value of Live Stock.. 18,550,971 
Value of Farming Implements and Machinery. 5,758,847 
Total. $155,426,895 
We are also able to determine the gross annual proceeds of 
this branch of industry, which may be stated thus: 
Value of Field Products, proper. $27,119,608 29 
Value of Dairy Products. 1,311,043 99 
Value of Orchard Products. 155,531 05 
Value of Sorghum and Maple Molasses, Honey and Wine. 206,378 43 
Value of Animals Slaughtered. 3,742,237 55 
Estimated value of Increase of Live Stock. 3,702,183 00 
Total proceeds of Agriculture in 1860. . $36,336,498 31 
If to this grand total we add a reasonable amount for pro¬ 
ducts not reported, and also make allowance for the deprecia¬ 
tion in value of nearly everything produced by the farmer in 
that year, the agricultural capacity of the State, under favora¬ 
ble circumstances of season and times, and with the force and 
capacity at present employed, may be safely estimated at Fif¬ 
ty Millions of Dollars per annum.
