The  Banner  Of  Progress. 
A  particularly  agreeable  feature  of  the 
cooperation  of  The  R.  N.-Y.  readers  with 
the  publisher  in  the  enlisting  of  brother 
farmers  under  the  banner  of  Progress,  is 
the  fact  that  a  large  proportion  of  these 
co-workers  are  in  the  front  rank  of  intel¬ 
ligent,  successful  farmers.  It  is  not  as 
ordinary  “canvassers”  that  such  men  aid 
The  R.  N.-Y.  in  the  extension  of  its  circle 
of  readers,  but  as  enthusiastic  and  earnest 
workers  for  the  advancement  of  Ameri¬ 
can  agriculture.  They  hold,  and  we  be¬ 
lieve  rig-htly,  that  The  Rural  New- 
Yorker  stands  for  all  that  is  best  and 
most  progressive  in  agriculture  ;  that  it 
upholds  every  honest  endeavor  for  the 
promotion  of  truth  and  justice  in  govern¬ 
ment,  which  means  only  rightful  taxa¬ 
tion,  proper  freedom  of  commercial  in¬ 
tercourse,  protection  of  life  and  property 
against  unjust  combinations  of  designing 
men;  that  it  helps  to  increase  the  happi¬ 
ness  of  rural  life  and  to  reduce  the  cost 
of  production  in  the  farm  business  by 
giving  information  of  the  best  means  and 
methods.  They  feel,  with  us,  that  to 
have  The  R.  N.-Y.  read  in  100,000  Ameri¬ 
can  farm  houses  would  mean  an  accretion 
of  strength  to  the  farmers’, upward  move¬ 
ment.  not  to  be  gained  in  any  other  way, 
for  knowledge  moves  the  world.

CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
The  two  condensaries  of  Elgin,  Ill.,  consume  about 
145,000  pounds  of  milk  dally. 
The  New  York  Milk  Exchange,  Limited,  has  re¬ 
duced  the  net  price  of  milk  from  from  3J4  to  3  cents 
per  quart. 
Apples  are  still  plenty  in  the  New  York  market, 
and  prices  rule  rather  low.  Altogether  too  much 
poorly  assorted  fruit  comes  to  market.  Better  keep 
the  culls  at  home. 
No  one,  unless  horribly  poor,  need  do  without  his 
buckwheat  cakes  -the  flour  is  quoted  In  the  New  York 
markets,  at  wholesale,  at  prices  varying  from  $1.80  to 
$2.00  per  100  pounds. 
J  Apples  have^been  dull  and  lower  In  the.  Liverpool 
market  since  the  holidays.  In  the  14  days  preceding 
January  tith,  the  arrival  of  American  apples  at  that 
port  aggregated  32,377  barrels. 
J.  Malcom  Forbes,  of  Boston,  has  purchased  from 
Senator  Leland  Stanford  his  famous  trotter  Arlon, 
which,  as  a  two-year-old,  made  a  record  of  2.10J4-, 
The  price  is  said  to  be  about  $150,000. 
The  demand  for  ginseng  is  active.  This  rootiisa 
famous  remedy  among  the  Chinese,  who  are  the  prin¬ 
cipal  consumers  of  it;  our  medical  men  attach  no 
value  to  It,  though  it  finds  a  place  in  the  dispensary. 
The  supply  of  milk  has  been  abundant,  so  much  so 
that  the  Exchange  of  this  city,  through  some  of  its 
members,  has  been  sending  about  250  cans  daily  to 
to  the  Philadelphia  dealers,  who  are  having  a  tussle 
with  the  producers  there. 
Butter  sold  at  Elgin,  Ill.,  at  an  average  of  a  trifle 
over  25  cents  for  the  year  1891,  the  highest  price  being 
30  cents  in  October,  the  lowest  In  July  and  August, 
when  it  averaged  a  shade  above  17.  It  has  been  a 
satisfactory  year,  on  the  whole. 
A  barrel  of  very  tine  Wagener  apples  attracted  our 
attention  In  the  market,  about  January  5.  They  were 
handsome,  smooth  and  of  good  size  and  quality.  This 
variety,  in  locations  where  it  flourishes,  deserves  a 
wider  planting.  It  will  come  into  bearing  earlier 
than  any  variety  with  which  we  are  acquainted. 
One  by  one  the  various  commodities  produced  by 
the  farmer,  are  made  a  medium  for  speculation— the 
latest  being  hops.  A  Hop  Dealers’  Exchange  has 
been  organized,  and  hereafter  quotations  will  doubt¬ 
less  be  complicated  by  dealings  in  futures,  and  Bruin 
and  Taurus  will  battle  for  the  vantage  ground.  So  it 
goes. 
The  Fruit  and  Produce  Association  of  New  York 
has  issued  a  circular  to  growers  and  shippers,  urg¬ 
ing  the  packing  of  produce  in  packages  of  uniform 
size.  The  circular  contains  the  dimensions  of  the 
standard  barrels,  crates,  etc.,  and  will  be  sent  on  ap¬ 
plication  to  the  Fruit  and  Produce  Exchange,  corner 
Harrison  and  Hudson  streets,  New  York. 
The  N.  Y.,  O.  &  Western  Railway  announce  their 
willingness  to  build  creameries  at  points  along  their 
line  and  rent  them  to  responsible  parties,  who  will 
agree  to  run  them  and  ship  milk  to  New  York.  A 
similar  policy  has  been  in  force  on  the  D.,  L.  &  W. 
Railway  for  some  time.  The  O.  &  W.  also  announce 
a  new  time  table  and  an  improved  milk  service,  be¬ 
ginning  April  1. 
The  fruit  nomenclature  of  the  average  marketman 
and  commission  dealer  is  very  fanciful.  It  may  be 
that  the  grower  is  in  part  responsible  for  the  blunders 
so  common.  A  few  days  since  we  saw  Pennocks 
marked  and  sold  for  “  French  Spitz  an  apple  un¬ 
known  to  pomologists.  The  Pennock  is  of  such  poor 
quality  that  it  needs  the  stimulus  of  a  new  name.  It 
is  about  as  good  as  a  pumpkin  In  edible  quality.

Deerfield  Cumberland  County,  New  Jersey,  boasted 
this  season  of  a  Chili  squash  which  weighed  196 
pounds. 
The  annual  report  of  the  treasurer  of  the  Queens 
County  (N.  Y.,)  Agricultural  Society  shows  a  balance 
of  $7,678.18  In  the  treasury.  It  is  well. 
The  Improved  Alexandra  separator  seems  to  be 
growing  in  popularity.  It  received  favorable  notice 
at  the  late  New  York  State  Dairymen’s  Convention. 
Cranberries  have  been  a  short  crop  In  the  West, 
which  has  added  to  the  profits  of  the  New  Jersey 
growers.  Their  crop  has  been  about  an  average  and 
of  the  finest  quality. 
At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Bucher  &  Gibbs 
Plow  Co.,  Canton,  Ohio,  January  4,  the  following  were 
chosen  :  President,  J.  It.  Bucher,  Vice  President,  F. 
E.  Myers  ;  General  Manager,  H.  A.  Cavanah,  Secre¬ 
tary,  W.  J.  Poyser  ;  Treasurer,  F.  B.  Niesz. 
The  annual  sale  of  the  American  Clydesdale  Associ¬ 
ation  will  be  held  at  the  Union  Stock  Yards,  Chicago, 
February  17,  when  at  least  40  stallions  and  30  mares 
will  be  sold  to  the  highest  bidder.  Parties  Interested 
may  obtain  catalogues  by  addressing  Colonel  Charles 
F.  Mills,  Springfield,  Ill. 
Exile's  Belle  40502,  a  Jersey  owned  by  A.  I).  McBride, 
has  been  tested  with  this  result:  “  For  2  days  she 
made  10  pounds;  for  7  days  32  pounds  8  ounces;  and 
for  30  days,  122  pounds  6J4  ounces."  The  cow  weighs 
1030  pounds,  was  four  months  in  calf— seven  months 
after  calving,  when  the  test  was  ma$e. 
The  farmers’  institutes  now  going  on  in  so  many 
of  the  States,  seem  to  be  piling  up  evidence  as  to 
their  great  usefulness.  All  over  the  country,  we  hear 
the  most  Mattering  reports  and  careful  observers  note 
that  farming  in  localities  where  institutes  have  been 
held,  shows  prompt  evidences  of  progress  and  in  the 
right  direction. 
A  monument  is  to  be  erected  over  the  grave  of  old 
llambletonian  at  Chester,  N.  Y.,  the  founder  of  that 
celebrated  breed  of  horses.  It  is  to  be  a  heroic  bronze 
statue  and  will  cost  $3,000.  The  grave  is  on  the  liys- 
dyke  estate,  a  mile  from  the  village  and  now  only 
marked  by  a  marble  slab  marked  “  Rysdyk's  Ham- 
bletonian.  Foaled  May  5,  1849,  died  March  27,  1876.” 
The  introduction  of  some  new  and  valuable  sorts  of 
plums,  has  given  quite  an  impetus  to  their  culture. 
We  urge  fruit  growers,  who  think  well  of  plum  cul¬ 
ture,  to  look  into  these  new  sorts  and  give  them  a 
trial.  Some  of  them  are  exquisitely  beautiful  and 
seem  to  be  hardy  and  productive.  Inquiries  made 
now  will  enable  one  to  decide  in  time  for  spring 
planting. 
The  17th  Annual  meeting  of  the  Ayrshire;Breed-

Arkona,  Ont.,  December  28.— Fall  wheat  was  bet¬ 
ter  than  it  has  been  for  four  years  past,  averaging 
about  20  bushels  per  acre;  wherever  the  land  was 
well  farmed,  It  went  from  30  to  40  bushels  per  acre. 
Ve  have  many  very  poor  farmers  around  here.  It  iB 
a  sha  •  e  to  see  the  crops  of  thistles,  etc.,  that  some  of 
then  <row.  The  land  is  naturally  good  and  it  seems 
boui  1  to  grow  something.  Hay  was  a  light  crop,  not 
averaging  a  ton  to  the  acre.  Spring  grain  a  fair  crop, 
dry  weather  early  in  the  summer  making  hay  and 
spring  grain  rather  light.  Fruit  was  an  abundant  crop ; 
apples  the  best  for  a  good  many  years.  Alto¬ 
gether  times  are  a  great  deal  better  than  they  were 
last  year.  A  much  larger  area  was  sown  with  fall 
wheat  than  for  years,  and  it  is  looking  fine.  If  it 
comes  through  the  spring  anywhere  nearly  as  well  as 
it  looks  at  present,  it  will  be  an  abundant  crop,  and 
with  fair  prices  I  think  it  will  make  farming  in  this 
locality  boom  again. 
Johnson’s,  n.  Y.,  January  14.— No  sleighing  here 
yet,  but  a  little  more  snow  would  make  it.  Ice  from 
five  to  seven  inches  thick,  so  we  will  soon  be  in  the 
harvest.  m.  h.  c.  Gardner. 
Bertha,  Manitoba.— There  is  a  lot  of  good  wheat 
in  the  country  yet.  1  only  got  56  cents  for  mine,  but 
there  is  a  lot  of  thrashing  and  stacking  to  be  done 
yet;  no  trouble  to  sell  wheat  of  fair  quality.  Dried 
apples  are  scarce  and  dear.  Wild  prairie  hay  $5  a  ton 
in  the  stack;  oats  15  cents  to  25  cents  a  bushel;  wheat 
bran  $10  a  ton.  No.  1  hard  wheat  75  cents  at  Nesbit. 
Good  boars  are  very  scarce,  so  are  bulls  of  butter 
breed.  F.  T.  L.  h. 
A  noticeable  feature  of  gardening  in  this  section  is 
the  increased  culture  of  celery.  Five  years  ago  1  do 
not  believe  a  stalk  was  grown  in  this  township.  This 
season  it  was  quite  common.  Is  it  a  mark  of  civiliza¬ 
tion?  E.  b.  H.

The  market  for  apples  was  very  brisk  early  in  No¬ 
vember.  In  a  small  village,  on  a  neighboring  rail¬ 
road,  two  firms  shipped  each,  about  6,40U  barrels.  The 
prices  ranged  from  30  to  55  cents  per  bushel.  They 
went  mainly  to  the  North  and  Northwest.  The  apple 
industry  is  becoming  a  very  important  factor  in  this, 
the  southern  portion  of  Iowa.  E.  B.  H. 
The  Columbian  Dairy  Association  have  elected  W. 
U.  Gilbert,  of  Richland,  N.  Y.,  Superintendent  of  the 
Dairy  School,  which  is  to  be  a  feature  of  the  coming 
exposition  at  Chicago.  1  hey  have  made  no  mistake 
in  their  selection.  Mr.  Gilbert  is  practical,  energetic 
and  he  knows  his  trade.
