According  to  the  estimates  of  the  Agricultural 
Department  the  people  of  the  United  States  are

practice  of  adulterating  foods. 
Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Michigan,  Mississippi  and

The  Florida  Farmers’  Alliance  has  completely  cap¬ 
tured  the  Democratic  party  of  the  State,  and  the  old

things,  must  get  outside  the  lines. 
It  Is  officially  announced  that  from  now  on  the 
Armour  Packing  Company  will  slaughter  all  the  cat¬ 
tle  they  handle  for  their  entire  trade,  in  Kansas  City, 
Mo  ,  and  ship  the  carcasses  from  there  to  Chicago,  Ill. 
The  overwhelming  Republican  success  in  the  late 
Oregon  elections  Is  attributed  In  great  part  by  both 
parties  to  the  vote  of  the  sheep  owners— a  large  body 
In  that  State— who  strongly  objected  to  any  modifica¬ 
tion  of  the  tariff  on  wool. 
Deer  have  been  so  protected  in  Plsquaquls,  Co.,  Me., 
that  they  have  become  a  nuisance  to  farmers,  who 
want  a  law  compelling  the  State  to  pay  for  all  dam¬ 
ages  done  by  them  during  the  close  time  and  a  rea¬ 
sonable  sum  for  pasturage. 
Since  the  disastrous  destruction  of  the  French 
vineyards  by  the  phylloxera,  and  the  consequentcur- 
tallment  of  the  supply  and  Increase  of  price  of  wine 
among  tne  people  at  large,  statistics  show  there  has 
been  an  enormous  Increase  of  drunkenness  in  France. 
After  16  years  of  litigation  $20,825  have  been  paid 
A.  B.  Melendy  and  T.  J.  Russell,  Norristown,  Tenn.> 
by  the  K.  C.  G.  &  L.  Railroad  as  damuges  for  the 
trotting  horse,  Briston,  killed  In  a  railroad  wreck  in 
1876.  This  Is  the  largest  sum  ever  paid  by  a  railroad 
company  for  the  killing  of  ahorse. 
The  American  Minister  to  Germany  has  made  pub¬ 
lic  a  letter  from  the  official  chemist  at  Hamburg  de¬ 
claring  that  half  of  the  American  dried  apples  con¬ 
tain  zinc.  He  advises  that  the  driers  use  sheet  Iron 
Instead  of  zinc  plates  In  the  evaporating  process,  for 
otherwise  they  will  lose  the  entire  German  trade. 
Statistics  show  that  furm  wages  were  lowest  In  1879, 
when  the  average  was  $16.05.  Since  then  they  have 
slowly  Increased  year  by  year,  until  at  present  they 
are:  In  Eastern  States,  $26.46;  Middle  States,  $28.33; 
Southern,  $14.98;  Western,  $22.61;  Mountain,  $32.16; 
Pacific,  $30.15.  The  average  per  month  for  the  whole 
year  Is  $18.00. 
The  American  Economic  Association  will  hold  its 
fifth  annual  meeting  at  Chatauqua,  N.  Y.,  on  Aug.  23. 
The  session  will  continue  for  four  days.  Among  the 
subjects  discussed  In  the  papers  to  he  read  will  be  the 
farmers’  movements  In  both  the  Northern  and  the 
Southern  States,  and  the  taxation  of  personal  prop¬ 
erty  in  relation  to  the  farmer. 
The  House  committee  on  public  lands  has  made  a 
favorable  report  on  a  bill  to  extend  the  time  from 
February,  1893,  to  September,  1893,  in  which  settlers 
on  lands  granted  to  railroads,  and  which  grants  were 
declared  forfeited  by  the  act  of  September  29, 1890, 
may  pay  for  said  lands,  not  exceeding  320  acres  to 
any  one  person,  at  $1.25  per  acre. 
The  heirs  of  George  W.  ltemsen,  of  Philadelphia, 
have  begun  a  lawsuit  for  160  acres  of  Improved  land 
between  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis  The  property  Is 
worth  $5,000,000,  and  there  are  1,500  defendants.  It 
was  sold  In  1848  by  Itemsen’s  widow  for  $200;  but  as 
she  failed  to  secure  from  the  Orphans'  Court  a  de¬ 
cree  ratifying  the  sale,  the  children  claim  that  the 
land  Is  legally  theirs. 
The  People's  party  of  Kansas,  which  is  virtually 
the  Farmers'  Alliance  of  that  State,  are  to  combine 
with  the  Democrats  at  the  fall  elections.  The  Demo¬ 
crats  are  to  be  given  the>candidates  for  Chief-Justice 
of  the  Supreme  Court  and  Congressman  at  large.  The 
rest  of  the  State  ticket  is  to  be  given  to  the  People's 
party.  The  Presidential  Electors  are  also  to  be 
divided  between  the  two  parties. 
There  Is  likelihood  of  more  trouble  among  the  cattle 
men  In  Wyoming.  The  "barons”  are  reported  to 
have  hired  more  desperadoes  from  Texas  and  else¬ 
where  to  take  vengeance  on  the  “rustlers,”  while  the 
latter  are  said  to  be  preparing  for  more  “warfare.” 
Twelve  companies  of  the  United  States  troops  have 
gone  to  the  disturbed  district — Johnson  County  and 
thereabouts— as  the  State  forces  are  utterly  unable 
to  deal  with  the  trouble. 
It  is  reported  that  while  the  “June  rise”  in  the 
Mississippi  has  done  considerable  damage  to  farm 
lands  above  Quincy,  Ill.,  there  Is  little  fear  that  It 
will  cause  much  havoc  lower  down.  A  moderate 
estimate  of  the  Injury  done  by  the  late  floods  along 
the  Missouri,  Mississippi,  Arkansas,  White  and  Red 
Rivers,  as  well  as  other  tributaries  of  the  Father  of 
Waters  and  Its  affluents,  amounts  to  $50,000,000.  Little 
of  the  flooded  land  Is  still  fit  for  crops,  and  there  Is 
likely  to  be  a  large  shrinkage  in  the  coming  harvest 
Of  course  most  of  the  1  isses  fall  upon  farmers. 
Secretary  Rusk  declares  that  for  the  first  quarter 
of  1891,  the  imports  of  corn  into  Germany  aggregated 
1,111,424  bushels,  while  for  the  first  quarter  of  1892 
the  amount  Imported  aggregated  5,847,852,  an  increase 
of  4,736,428  bushels!  The  outlay  by  the  Department 
to  effect  the  enormous  Increase  has  been  only  $657. 
He  urges  a  more  liberal  appropriation  for  greater 
efforts  to  Introduce  It  into  other  Northern  and 
Central  European  countries  also.  Mills  for  grind¬ 
ing  the  grain  are  now  being  built  In  different  parts 
of  Germany,  so  that  Its  use  there  Is  likely  to  be  per¬ 
manent. 
According  to  Seoretary  Rusk's  recent  report,  farm 
wages  have  about  doubled  since  1840,  when  farm 
hands  averaged  $8.50  a  month  and  board  In  the  East¬ 
ern  States,  and  $12.50  without  It;  whereas  In  that  sec¬ 
tion  he  now  receives  $18.85  and  $26.50  respectively. 
According  to  him,  as  compared  with  other  countries, 
the  United  States  pay  the  highest  wages  for  field 
hands  of  all  countries,  as  follows,  per  annum,  with¬ 
out  board :

Great  Britain.

Condensed  Correspondence 
Ohio,  Aurora,  May  28.— To-day  is  the  first  pleas- 
ant  day  we  have  had  In  six  weeks.  We  have  had  an 
Incessant  rain  for  all  that  time.  Farm  work  has  been 
at  a  stand-still  for  five  weeks.  Not  half  of  the  oats 
are  yet  sown,  and  not  a  potato  or  a  hill  of  corn  has 
been  planted;  much  less  has  the  ground  been 
plowed.  J.  G. 
Missouri,  Cameron,  June  4.— We  are  having  a 
most  discouraging  season;  so  far  we  have  had  only 
one  good  week  for  farm  work  since  March  1.  A  good 
deal  of  corn  has  been  put  In  In  the  mud.  1  suppose 
60  or  70  per  cent  of  the  crop  has  been  planted  In  bad 
shape.  To-day  there  Is  not  even  a  fair  prospect  for 
a  crop  of  corn.  Oats  fair.  Early  potatoes  a  poor 
stand.  Wheat  very  poor  as  a  rule,  on  account  of  the 
dry  fall.  a.  g.  d. 
Pennsylvania,  Covington,  June  4.— The  weather 
has  been  so  wet  here  that  the  farmers  are  all  behind 
with  their  work— not  more  than  half  the  planting  has 
been  done  yet.  A.  m. 
New  York,  Albion,  May  31.  -This  is  the  first 
summer  weather  we  have  had  this  season,  and  there 
Is  a  great  change  from  the  cold  winds  and  frequent 
rains  of  the  past  month.  Grass  and  grain  are  looking 
well.  Some  corn  has  been  planted,  but  is  not  up  yet. 
Bean  planting  has  hardly  begun,  but  a  large  acreage 
will  be  put  in.  Potatoes  are  a  drug  at  25  cents. 
Everything  In  the  shape  of  fruit,  tree,  bush,  or  vine, 
Is  covered  with  blossoms,  not  excepting  apple  trees 
that  hung  full  last  year.  The  odor  is  fairly  sickening 
at  times.  w.  J.  s. 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Spring  chickens  have  sold,  so  far  this  season,  at 
fairly  good  prices. 
Beans  are  doing  better,  especially  Marrows.  Prices 
for  all  grades  are  steady. 
Green  gooseberries  have  appeared  In  the  market, 
and  have  sold  at  from  six  to  eight  cents  per  quart. 
Cattle  are  strong  at  St.  Louis,  dull  In  New  York  and 
Chicago.  Sheep  and  hogs  are  steady  in  the  Cincin¬ 
nati!  market  and  in  New  York. 
Dried  brewers’  grains  are  lower,  and  at  prices  at 
which  they  are  offered  are  really  one  of  the  best  foods 
for  dairy  cattle  now  In  the  market. 
In  sympathy  with  the  butter  market,  there  has  been 
a  lowering  in  the  price  of  cheese.  The  supply  fully 
equals  the  demand.  Exports  for  the  week  were  32,583 
boxes. 
The  situation  In  the  spring  wheat  belt,  which  is 
composed  of  the  Dakotas  and  Mlnnesotas:  there  is 
ample  moisture,  but  so  far,  except  In  North  Dakota, 
not  in  excess. 
Strawberries  have  been  selling  at  from  five  to  ten 
cents  per  quart  South  Jersey  berries  are  coming  In 
freely,  and  this  week  should  see  the  Hudson  River 
fruit  make  Its  appearance. 
A  few  days  since  corn  sold  on  the  Chicago  Exchange 
for  $1.06  per  bushel,  and  within  an  hour  dropped  to 
49^  cents.  And  this  Is  called  commerce,  trade,  and  by 
various  other  nlce-soundlng  names. 
Apples  are  slowly  disappearing  from  the  markets, 
but  they  will  last  until  their  place  is  taken  by  the 
new  crop.  The  New  York  market  has  apples  and 
ripe  tomatoes  12  months  in  the  year. 
Six  oleomargarine  factories  In  Chicago  last  year 
displaced  the  product  of  300,000  cows.  Another  year 
they  will  displace  that  of  100,000  more.  That  means 
that  400.000  cows  and  heifers  must  be  slaughtered 
next  year  to  keep  up  the  present  prices  of  genuine 
butter. 
The  resolutions  of  the  retail  grocers  of  this  city  to 
purchase  no  small  fruits  this  season,  except  in  free 
crates,  have  been  utterly  Ignored,  just  as  The  Rural 
said  they  would  be.  Great  reforms  are  not  brought 
about  by  edicts  from  one  side  or  the  other  In  a  con¬ 
troversy. 
The  fact  that  “  deacon  skins  ”  are  regularly  quoted 
in  the  trade  market  does  not  Imply  that  deacons  are 
skinned,  but  rather  that  the  very  young  veal,  aged 
from  two  hours  to  two  days,  has  been  skinned,  and 
his  pelt  is  thus  known.  Who  eats  this  very  immature 
veal  It  would  be  difficult  to  tell. 
Late  advices  from  Virginia  say  the  tobacco  crop  is 
doing  fairly  well  in  that  State  and  North  Carolina. 
There  is  no  noteworthy  change  in  the  area  planted. 
Farmers  are  realizing  the  futility  of  putting  more 
in  the  ground  than  can  be  well  managed  by  the  force 
and  facilities  at  hand,  and  not  a  few  are  making  food 
for  man  and  beast  a  prime  consideration  In  cultiva¬ 
tion  of  such  products  on  the  farm.  A  large  part  of 
the  Western  crop  has  also  been  planted.  Condition 
87  in  Kentucky. 
Owing  to  heavy  rains,  low  temperature  and  cloudy 
weather  of  late  the  crop  prospects  in  the  great  sur¬ 
plus  producing  States,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Michigan, 
Illinois,  Iowa,  Nebraska,  Kansas  and  Missouri,  have 
not  been  very  favorable.  Three-day-old  advices 
from  Chicago  say  that  hardly  50  per  cent  of  the  corn 
crop  had  been  put  in  these  States.  The  railroad 
authorities,  however,  maintain  that  from  90  to  75  per 
cent  of  the  crop  has  been  planted  in  the  West  and 
Southwest.  Owing  to  the  excess  of  rain  there  is  some 
rust  In  winter  wheat  just  beginning  to  fill,
