THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER

Agricultural  News. 
( Continued. ) 
From  an  address  delivered  by  C.  J.  Wetmore,  Ex¬ 
ecutive  Officer  of  the  California  Vltlcultural  Commis¬ 
sion,  we  gather  the  following:  In  1880  California  had 
35,000  acres  of  grape  vines.  At  the  present  time  the 
area  is  estimated  at  175,000  acres  of  which  90,000  are  in 
wine  grapes  and  the  balance  In  raisin  and  table 
grapes.  In  1881,  8,000,000  gallons  of  wine  were  made. 
In  1885  It  had  grown  to  18,000,000  gallons  and  it  has  not 
gone  above  that  figure  yet,  prices  being  low  and  the 
ravages  of  phylloxera  interfering  somewhat  seriously 
with  the  business. 
Mr.  A.  Jeffers,  in  the  Southern  Farmer,  says  :  “  One 
Norfolk  County,  Va.,  farmer  raised  45,000  bushels  of 
shelled  corn  last  year,  another  raised  25,000  bushels, 
and  another  20,000,  while  we  have  several  smaller 
ones  raising  all  the  way  from  1,000  to  10,000  bushels. 
I  have  been  inquiring  of  our  farmers  and  truckers  to 
see  the  cost  of  growing  corn  here.  It  runs,  with  dif¬ 
ferent  Individuals,  from  30  cents  per  bushel  down  to 
15  cents,  and  one  man  claimed  that  he  could  make  a 
crop  of  corn  after  Irish  potatoes  (the  same  season) 
for  the  low  cost  of  ten  cents  per  bushel.” 
Judge  E.  T.  Lane,  presiding  judge  of  Cass  County, 
Mo.,  who  with  his  associate  Judges  Wray  and  George 
have  been  prisoners  in  Jackson  County  Jail  for  sev¬ 
eral  months,  has  been  nominated  for  the  legislature 
by  an  overwhelming  majority  over  two  opposition 
candidates.  He,  with  the  other  Judges,  was  sent  to 
prison  by  United  States  Judge  Phillips  for  refusing 
to  obey  an  order  of  his  court  directing  a  tax  levy  to 
pay  bonds  voted  by  Cass  County  years  ago  for  the 
construction  of  a  railroad  which  has  never  been  built. 
The  three  prisoners  are  the  most  popular  men  among 
the  farmers  of  that  section  to-day. 
Farmers  will  rejoice  at  a  fight  now  on  between  the 
$15,000,000  Cordage  Trust  and  the  outside  manufac¬ 
turers  of  rope  and  binder  twine.  John  Good,  the 
largest  Individual  manufacturer  in  the  country,  has 
left  the  Trust  and  with  other  outsiders  intends  to 
fight  it.  The  Trust  is  ahead  this  year,  because  the 
manufacturing  season  ends  on  July  19,  and  he  began 
too  late;  but  he  promises  a  fierce  fight  next  year. 
The  Lower  House  of  Congress  placed  binder  twine  on 
the  free  list  on  May  2,  and  If  the  Senate  concurs, 
foreigners  will  thenceforth  be  able  to  compete  with 
the  monopoly.  Some  of  the  largest  works  belonging  to 
the  Trust  have  already  shut  down  to  curtail  produc¬ 
tion  and  consequently  increase  prices. 
Condensed  Correspondence 
Illinois,  Plainfield,  May 23.— I  could  not  make 
25-cent  butter  at  a  profit  without  ensilage.  The 
weather  has  been  so  wet  and  cold  that  there  seems 
to  be  no  nourishment  in  the  pasture,  and  loss  can 
be  prevented  only  by  a  dally  feed  of  ensilage  or 
grain.  A  few  bright,  warm  days,  however,  will  prob¬ 
ably  sweeten  the  grass  so  that  other  feed  can  be  dis¬ 
continued.  What  a  spring  this  Is!  No  eorn  planted 
yet,  while  usually  at  this  date  it  is  growing  and  being 
worked  tbe  second  time;  mercury  down  to  40  and  be¬ 
low  every  night.  Only  three  or  four  bright  days  this 
month,  and  here  we  are  prisoners  in  our  homes,  the 
ground  being  thoroughly  soaked,  the  roads  horrid, 
and  the  horses  becoming  restive  while  eating  their 
heads  off.  The  birds  which  usually  come  to  us  at 
this  time  have  arrived  promptly,  but  seem  surprised 
at  their  chilly  welcome,  their  uncertain  notes  ap¬ 
pearing  to  question  the  correctness  of  the  date  of 
their  appointment  here.  Fruit  trees  and  bushes  have 
bloomed  In  a  promising  way,  while  the  oak  leaves 
are  nearly  the  size  of  a  rabbit’s  ear,  and  yet  the  corn, 
which  should  now  be  making  some  show  in  the  world, 
is  still  sweetly  sleeping  in  Its  little  crib.  p.  h.  m. 
Iowa,  Osceola  Oounty,  May  16.— I  have  been 
here  25  years,  and  have  always  been  able  to  get  good 
crops  in  good  shape  until  this  spring.  Many  haven’t 
their  oats  sown  yet.  Very  little  barley  has  been 
sown.  Corn  planting  will  be  out  of  the  question  for  a 
week  yet  even  if  the  weather  should  clear  off  soon, 
as  the  ground  Is  sc  thoroughly  soaked.  Grain  that 
was  “  mudded  ”  in  early  on  high  land  looks  fairly 
well.  G.  s.  D. 
Michigan,  Thornville,  May  21.— The  season 
here  has  been  very  wet,  cold  and  backward.  Oats 
are  not  all  sowed,  and  gardens  are  not  to  any  extent 
even  plowed.  Plums,  cherries  and  strawberries  are 
in  blossom,  and  apples  just  opening.  So  far  the 
cloudiness  of  the  nights  has  saved  the  fruit  from 
frost.  E.  d.  c. 
AGRICULTURAL  LEGISLATION. 
We  print  below  two  bills  which  became  laws  at  the 
last  session  of  the  legislature  of  this  State,  and 
which  are  of  special  interest  to  farmers:

on  commission,  shall  immediately,  upon  the  receipt

Section  1.  Section  407  of  the  penal  code  is  hereby 
amended  to  read  as  follows:

ated  or  undiluted,  or  without  disclosing  or  informing 
the  purchaser  that  the  same  has  been  adulterated  or 
diluted,  in  a  case  where  special  provision  has  not 
been  made  by  statute,  for  the  punishment  of  the 
offense,  or, 
3.  Sells  or  offers  to  sell,  or  stores  or  transports

wide  waters  or  basins  of  any  canal,  unless  the  ice  so
