The  Illinois  State  Board  of  Agriculture  offers  $500 
In  three  premiums  for  the  best  and  largest  displays 
from  counties  of  the  State,  at  the  State  fair  at 
Peoria,  September  20-30.  The  first  premium  Is  $250  In 
cash;  second  $150,  and  third  $100.  From  these  prem¬ 
ium  displays  selections  will  be  made  for  World's 
Columbian  Exposition,  at  Chicago,  next  year. 
The  notorious  “Billy”  McGarrahan’s  land  claim  Is 
now  In  such  good  shape  that  Billy  Is  negotiating  with 
New  York  capitalists  for  the  sale  of  his  “rights”  to 
the  $5,000,000  or  $10,000,000  he  expects  It  to  yield.  He 
wants  to  pay  those  on  whose  loans  he  has  lived  for 
the  last  25  years  or  more,  even  If  he  gets  no  more  than 
10  cents  on  the  dollar  on  the  amount  of  his  claims. 
The  first  special  fruit  train  for  Condon,  consisting 
of  five  cars,  left  Sacramento.  Cal.,  under  charge  of 
the  California  Fruit  Transportation  Company.  It 
reached  New  York  the  20th,  and  the  fruit  was  at 
once  transferred  to  the  steamer  Majestic,  which  Is 
fitted  with  refrigerators.  In  one  of  the  cars  Is  a  box 
of  choice  pears  for  Queen  Victoria.  A  regular  auc¬ 
tion  day  will  be  established  for  California  fruit  in 
London,  and  trains  of  five  cars  each  will  be  sent  out 
regularly. 
Five  thousand  chattel  mortgages  on  8, (XX)  saloons 
In  New  York  city  are  held  by  20  brewers,  distillers  and 
wholesale  liquor  dealers,  who  thus  control  40.000 
votes.  No  other  monopoly  can  compare  with  this 
20-men  syndicate  in  respect  to  the  possibilities  of 
evil.  When  farmers,  the  moral  force  of  all  nations, 
cast  their  votes  next  November,  they  should  remem¬ 
ber  that  what  is  said  with  regard  to  the  biggest  city 
In  the  nation,  Is  applicable  to  even  villages. 
Sir  John  Rennet  Cawes,  the  “  father  ”  of  the  prac¬ 
tical  use  of  commercial  fertilizers,  who  began  his 
experiments  with  them  at  the  ago  of  24,  In  1838,  Is 
still  hale  and  vigorous  at  the  age  of  78,  and  takes  a 
keen  Interest  In  the  agricultural  experiments  which 
In  all  the  Intermediate  years  have  been  steadily  car¬ 
ried  on  at  Rothamsted.  Ho  has  deeded  $500,000  and 
a  sufficient  area  of  land  with  suitable  buildings  and 
apparatus,  to  carry  on  the  experiments  after  the 
world  shall  mourn  his  death. 
Here,  “  hayseeds,”  what  do  you  think  of  it  ?  Cas 
Thursday  before  the  World’s  Fair  Committee,  Gen. 
St.  Clair  made  the  charge  boldly  and  openly  that 
Devlin  and  Hayes,  leaders  of  the  Knights  of  Cabor, 
promised  to  devote  their  time  and  labor  to  secure 
from  Congress  an  appropriation  of  $5,000,000,  If  they 
themselves  got  $10,000  out  of  the  boodle.  Their  de¬ 
fense  was  that  it  would  cost  time  and  money  to  work 
up  labor  sentiment  in  support  of  the  Fair,  and  that 
they  felt  that  they  ought  to  be  recompensed  for  any 
such  outlay.  The  outcome  was  that  the  representa¬ 
tives  of  the  Knights  of  Labor  agreed  to  withdraw 
all  throats  of  a  boycott  and  to  assume  a  friendly  at¬ 
titude  toward  the  fair  provided  nothing  more  should 
be  said  about  the  $10,00(1  demand.  The  committee 
made  no  promise,  and  the  publication  of  the  facts  is 
a  sufficient  comment  upon  the  character  of  these 
officials  of  the  Knights  of  Labor. 
The  Board  of  Health  of  New  Orleans  has  lately 
been  taking  Vigorous  measures  against  the  adultera¬ 
tion  of  milk.  On  April  20  the  crusade  began.  A  sam¬ 
ple  of  milk  was  taken  from  every  dairy  wagon  that 
hove  In  sight,  and  these  samples  were  subjected  to  a 
complete  analysis.  Of  them  63.04  per  cent  contained 
less  than  12  per  cent  and  more  than  eight  per  cent  of 
total  solids;  36.96  per  cent  contained  more  than  12.8 
per  cent  of  the  total  solids,  the  average  amount  of 
adulteration  being  20  per  cent  of  added  water,  the 
lowest  being  7.5  per  cent,  the  highest  38.5  per  cent. 
On  July  1,  1892,  the  last  run  of  milk  was  made.  Of  the 
samples  analyzed  23.33  per  cent  contained  less  than 
12.45  per  cent  and  more  than  11.8  per  cent  of  total 
solids;  78. (S6  per  cent  contained  more  than  12.8  per 
cent  of  total  solids.  The  average  amount  of  adulter¬ 
ation  was  7.5  per  cent  of  added  water,  the  lowest  be¬ 
ing  4.25  per  cent,  the  highest  9.25  per  cent.  This 
shows  an  Improvement  in  less  than  three  months  of 
40.3  per  cent,  and  a  corresponding  decrease  in  the 
amount  of  adulteration  during  the  same  period  from 
20  per  cent  to  7.5.

Kansas,  Kingman,  July  15.-A1I  spring  and  sum¬ 
mer  we  have  had  excellent  weather  for  crops  of  all 
kinds;  wheat  splendid  and  all  harvested.  An  excell¬ 
ent  prospect  for  corn.  A  very  light  crop  of  apples 
and  no  peaches.  Small  fruits  of  all  kinds  good.

Canada,  Prince  Edward  island,  July  18.— 
The  weather.— April  began  warm  and  fine,  but  from 
the  second  week  the  weather  was  cold  and  dry  with 
cold  winds  and  biting  night  frosts.  May  was  very 
cold  and  dry  during  the  first  half,  with  severe  night 
frosts  running  through  the  whole  month.  June  was 
very  dry  and  hot.  and  July  up  to  date  has  been  the 
driest  and  hottest  I  ever  witnessed. 
A  few  notes  from  my  dlary.-April  20.  Clear  and 
cool  W.  N.  W.  Disc-harrowing  potato  ground.  21. 
Ice  In  sight  In  the  Gulph.  Weather  like  yesterday’s. 
Dlsc-harrowlng  potato  and  wheat  ground.  22.  Wind 
south  for  the  flrst  time  In  a  fortnlght-wlndy.  2t. 
:0 1 
Raining  lightly  all  the  morning.  28.  Getting  manure 
out.  28  -29.  Planting  potatoes.  May  20.  Sowed  the 
flrst  oats.  June  4.  Sowed  the  last  oats.  June  20. 
Sowing  barley.  21.  Finished  sowing  It. 
Crops.— The  crops  look  remarkably  well,  oats  and 
wheat  particularly.  It  Is  yet  too  early  to  form  an 
Idea  of  what  the  barley  crop  will  be.  Potatoes  bid 
fair  to  be  excellent.  It  is  surprising  how  well  the 
grain  crops  look  when  we  consider  the  unfavorable 
weather— not  a  drop  of  rain  for  a  month  and  the 
glass  not  dropping  below  70  degrees  for  that  period- 
such  heat  and  such  drought.  With  regard  to  the 
potato  crop,  my  forecast  at  present  Is  that  it  will 
aggregate  In  the  whole  Province  12,000,000  bushels. 
Just  now  the  farmers  are  paving  every  attention  to 
it.  The  spring  tooth  cultivator  Is  kept  going  con¬ 
tinually;  Helds,  on  the  whole,  look  nice  and  clean.

covered  as  they  are  with  a  thin  blanket  of  fine  earth 
and  no  weeds.  The  problem,  though,  Is  where  shall 
the  growers  find  a  market  for  the  coming  big  crop  '! 
But  Nature  may  bring  her  forces  to  work  against  the 
McKinley  tariff  and  you  across  the  line  may  want 
some.  Shall  we  entertain  such  a  hope?  Is  that 
charity?  j.  a.  macdonald.

Milk  Jar 
Discards  the  use  of  glass  or 
metal  tops,  wire  balls  or  other 
fasteners,  which  render  the 
ordinary  jar  bo  difficult  to  keep 
clean  and  so  expensive  to  keep 
In  order.  The  covers  arc  never 
used  but  once  and  the  time 
saved  In  washing  will  pay  their 
cost.  Customers  will  return  the 
oottles,  for  without  new  covers 
they  are  not  available  for  do¬ 
mestic  use. 
Orange  Rutter  Color 
Imitates  to  perfection  the  natural  tint  of  butter  In 
the  best  grass  season.  It  Is  pure,  sweet  and  whole¬ 
some,  rich  In  strength,  never  fades.  Will  keep  In  any 
ellinate,  never  turns  rancid.  Is  always  uniform  In 
strength  and  color.  Send  to  Cornish,  Curtis  ft  Greene,

THE  “BEST”  LIGHT. 
The  Pittsburg  is  the  best  lamp  we  know 
anything  about.  We  did  not  know  that 
any  kerosene  light  could  be  so  beauti¬ 
fully  soft  and  strong — a  powerful  light 
without  glare 
and  flicker,  easy 
and  delightful  for 
tired  eyes.  Now 
we  are  convinced 
and  heartily  in¬ 
dorse  all  t  li  e 
claims  so  far  test¬ 
ed.  The  lamp 
itself  is  a  thing  of 
beauty.  Here  is  a 
picture  of  perhaps 
the  handsomest  of 
the  series.  We 
would  be  glad  to 
send  one  to  every 
home  in  the  great 
Rural  family,  and  we  have  arranged  to 
furnish  our  subscribers  witli  any  of  these 
lamps  at  special  rates.  The  brass  lamp 
above  figured,  price,  .$4  by  express,  at 
purchaser’s  expense.  Complete,  with  a 
year’s  subscription,  for  $4.25;  with  a  sub¬ 
scription  from  date  of  receipt  to  Decem¬ 
ber  31,  for  $3.50.
