THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER

Agricultural  News. 
(Continued.) 
Secretary  of  Agriculture  Rusk  arrived  at  his  farm, 
near  Vlroqua,  'Vis.,  Thursday.  He  will  remain  for 
an  indefinite  period. 
Milch  cows  have  been  selling  In  the  New  York 
market  at  prices  ranging  from  $30  to  $50— the  latter 
figure  for  good  new  milch  cows  with  calf  at  their 
sides. 
A  very  fine  medicine  is  manufactured  from  the 
silk  of  the  common  Indian  corn.  It  has  an  active 
principle  which  Is  very  soothing  to  the  liver  and  kid¬ 
neys,  and  In  certain  cases  Is  an  Invaluable  part  of 
the  treatment. 
The  result  of  the  enumeration  of  Chicago’s  popu¬ 
lation,  which  has  been  going  on  for  some  time  under 
the  auspices  of  the  School  Census  Committee,  shows 
that  the  city  has  at  least  1,428,318  people  within  her 
gates  and  the  Incorporated  farms. 
Texas  fever  has  broken  out  In  some  herds  near 
Newark,  N.  J.,  and  11  have  died.  Dr.  Cooper  is  mak¬ 
ing  an  investigation.  He  thinks  the  disease  was  con¬ 
tracted  from  a  car  load  of  cattle,  which  was  side¬ 
tracked  overnight  near  one  of  the  infected  dairies. 
A  labor  crisis  Is  threatened  in  the  Lancashire  cot¬ 
ton  trade.  The  Federation  of  Master  Cotton  Spin¬ 
ners  recommends  that  a  10  per  cent  reduction  be 
made  In  the  wages  of  operatives  and  that  the  mills 
be  run  on  short  time.  This  means  a  drop  In  the  price 
of  American  cotton. 
The  trotting  stallion.  Green  River,  belonging  to 
Robert  Dixon,  of  Henderson,  Ky.,  and  valued  at 
$25,000,  died  Wednesday  at  Sturgis,  Mich.  He  was  by 
Prlncepe,  and  had  a  record  of  2:22)4.  He  had  won 
every  race  started  In  this  season  and  was  entered  In 
$65,000  worth  of  the  coming  races  at  Sturgis. 
It  has  been  just  discovered  that  many  French  ex¬ 
porters  of  celery  seed  are  using  henbane,  which  is  50 
per  cent  cheaper,  as  an  adulterant.  Several  people 
who  used  the  stuff  for  flavoring  purposes  have  been 
saved  from  death  only  by  heroic  means,  and  a  few 
have  died.  The  authorities  are  taking  rigorous 
measures  against  the  practice. 
State  Geologist  Smock,  of  New  Jersey,  has  gone  to 
Holland  to  study  the  dyke  system  of  that  country 
and  to  secure  other  Information  that  mar  be  utilized 
In  solving  the  problem  as  to  bow  to  save  the  New  Jer¬ 
sey  seashore  coast.  Old  ocean’s  Inroads  in  the  coast 
from  Sandy  Hook  southward  to  Cape  May  are  deep 
and  many.  In  some  places  Indentations  of  a  mile  or 
more  have  been  officially  noted. 
Seven  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  acres  of  land  in 
San  Benito  and  Monterey  Counties,  Cal.,  which,  ac¬ 
cording  to  the  act  of  Congress  of  September  20,  1890. 
revert  to  the  Government  by  reason  of  the  failure  of 
the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  to  complete  a  certain 
portion  of  its  line  within  the  specified  time,  were 
thrown  open  to  settlement  Thursday  under  the 
Homestead  Act,  and  a  large  number  of  filings  were 
made  at  the  Land  Office  in  San  Francisco. 
Following  the  example  of  the  United  States,  Can¬ 
ada  has  Imposed  a  duty  of  five  cents  a  dozen  on  Im¬ 
ported  eggs.  In  the  last  year  about  600,000  eggs 
were  Imported  from  this  country  while  wo  Imported 
7,465,000  from  our  neighbors.  Last  week  eggs  were 
10)4  cents  a  dozen  in  Toronto,  while  opposite  In 
Rochester,  they  were  15  cents.  The  McKinley  tariff 
therefore  shuts  our  friends  out  from  a  profitable  mar¬ 
ket,  while  the  Canadian  tariff  does  no  Injury  to 
“  American  ”  egg  producers. 
A  telegram  from  St.  Paul,  Minn,  on  July  28,  says: 
“There  is  a  panic  among  Dakota  farmers  lest  they  be 
unable  to  harvest  their  great  wheat  crop  which  is 
now  being  cut  in  the  southern  part  of  South  Dakota. 
It  has  been  estimated  that  from  200  to  400  laborers 
are  needed  in  each  county  In  South  Dakota  east  of 
the  Missouri  River.  This  means  about  10,000  laborers. 
Southern  Minnesota  needs  help  in  the  harvest  field 
also,  and  North  Dakota  will  begin  harvesting  In 
about  two  or  three  weeks.  Altogether  conservative 
estimates  are  that  40,000  laborers  are  needed  within 
the  next  month  In  order  to  harvest  the  Immense 
grain  crop  of  the  Northwest.  There  will  be  steady 
employment  at  good  wages.” 
The  money  men,  having  got  rid  of  the  law  against 
the  alien  ownership  of  land  in  Texas  by  a  decision 
of  the  State  Supreme  Court,  are  resolved  to  get  rid  of 
Texas  Railroad  Commission  by  the  same  means. 
This  has  been  a  grievous  thorn  in  the  flesh  of  the 
railroad  corporations  whose  greed  it  has  sternly 
curbed  In  the  interest  of  the  public.  The  case  is 
still  on  before  the  Court  at  Dallas,  and  whatever 
the  decision  there  the  matter  is  sure  to  be  appealed 
In  the  State  Supreme  Court,  and,  as  many  of  those 
pecuniarily  interested  are  citizens  of  other  States, 
If  the  monopolists  lose  before  that  body,  the  case 
will  doubtless  be  taken  to  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court.  Where  such  large  interests  are  permanently 
involved,  so  long  as  there  is  a  chance  of  success  for 
their  side,  corporations  never  surrender. 
The  total  immigration  for  the  12  months  ending 
with  June  amounted  to  619,320  as  compared  with 
521,643  for  the  12  preceding  months.  These  are  the 
total  arrivals  at  all  the  ports  of  the  United  States 
trom  all  foreign  countries  except  Canada  and  Mexico, 
and  were  the  heaviest  for  the  last  decade,  being  sur¬ 
passed  only  in  1881  and  1882.  In  spite  of  this  enor¬ 
mous  influx  of  foreigners,  however,  and  in  spite  of 
the  expensive  commission  sent  to  Europe  to  investi¬ 
gate  the  subject  of  Immigration  to  this  country,  and 
of  its  voluminous  report,  Congress  Is  likely  to  ad¬ 
journ  without  passing  any  law  on  the  matter.  Sev¬ 
eral  bills  have  been  introduced  in  the  Senate  and 
more  in  the  House,  but  though  some  have  passed 
each  body,  none  has  passed  both.  In  this  case 
haven't  “  too  many  cooks  spoiled  the  soup  ?” 
Condensed  Correspondence. 
New  York,  Chautauqua  County,  July  20.— a 
great  deal  of  the  wheat  in  southern  and  western 
Ohio,  in  the  counties  of  Butler,  Preble,  Darke,  Van 
Wert,  Paulding,  Henry,  Defiance,  Fulton,  Williams, 
will  not  be  more  than  two-thirds  of  last  year’s  crop, 
yielding  from  12  to  20  bushels  per  acre,  and  testing 
from  53  to  60  pounds  to  the  bushel.  d.  l.  carl. 
Illinois.  Will  County,  July  22.— Rye  is  har¬ 
vested  hereabouts  and  thrashing  has  begun,  showing 
a  very  light  yield  of  seven  to  ten  bushels  per  acre. 
Oats  are  ripening  very  fast;  harvest  will  commence 
on  July  27.  The  yield  will  be  very  uneven,  some

fields  being  exceptionally  heavy,  others  extremely 
light — 40  bushels,  perhaps,  as  an  average.  Corn  Is 
growing  finely  during  this  extremely  hot  weather, 
and,  while  some  fields  will  probably  mature  a  fair 
crop,  many  others  will  give  nothing  but  forage.  Tim¬ 
othy  and  clover  have  given  an  unsatisfactory  yield, 
both  in  quantity  and  quality.  Blue  Grass  pastures 
are  fine,  and  grazing  stock  In  fair  condition.  Small 
fruits  have  produced  fairly  well;  grapes  promise  a 
large  yield;  apples  below  the  average.  Our  local 
markets  quote;  corn,  42-43c.;  oats,  29c.;  rye,  57c.;

CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Muskmelons  from  Jersey  are  now  to  be  had  and  It 
Is  a  gratifying  change  from  the  half-ripened  stock 
that  has  literally  infested  our  markets. 
Georgia  peaches  have  astonished  all  our  people 
this  season.  For  size  and  quality  they  have,  so  far, 
been  in  the  lead.  They  are  much  superior  In  quality 
to  the  California  fruit. 
Owing  to  the  severe  weather  of  spring  and  the  hot 
period  that  followed,  there  will  be  a  great  shortage 
In  the  Oregon  and  Washington  grain  crop.  Although 
the  figures  are  not  exactly  known,  It  Is  thought  to  be 
about  1,400,000  bushels. 
Northern  Mexico  is  again  confronted  with  the 
prospect  of  a  total  crop  failure.  Summer  rains 
which  have  been  anxiously  expected  have  not  come. 
Four  years’  consecutive  crop  failures  are  unprece¬ 
dented  even  in  droughty  Mexico. 
Blackcurrants  are  seen  In  our  markets  In  limited 
quantity  and  the  demand  Is  very  small.  What  few 
come  here  are  sold  to  English  families— It  Is  rarely 
that  they  are  used  by  others.  The  distinctive  flavor  of 
the  black  currant  Is  not  acceptable  to  the  American 
palate. 
Largo  quantities  of  the  Le  Conte  pears  have  been 
sold  this  season  by  the  Italian  fruit  venders— a  class 
of  merchants,  petty  In  the  singular,  but  Immense  In 
the  concrete.  Our  fruit  growers  owe  much  to  them. 
They  find  a  market  for  thousands  of  tons  of  fruit 
that  would,  without  them,  go  unsold. 
It  Is  learned  that  the  peach  crop  in  southwestern 
Ohio  will  not  amount  to  much,  and  what  there  Is  will 
be  late.  Lake  Erie  orchards  have  none.  Some  parts 
of  Michigan  will  have  good  peaches.  Few  apples  In 
Michigan  and  none  in  southwestern  Ohio.  Pears 
good  everywhere.  Dayton  commission  houses  have 
shipped  25,000  barrels  of  cabbage  to  Detroit  and 
Cleveland  at  90  cents  to  $3  per  barrel. 
There  are  Indications  of  another  large  cotton  crop 
this  year.  It  Is  true  that  the  acreage  planted  in  cot¬ 
ton  Is  from  15  to  25  per  cent  less  this  year  than  last, 
but  the  favorable  season  and  more  careful  cultiva¬ 
tion  are  expected  to  bring  the  ultimate  yield  up  to 
the  average  of  the  last  few  years.  Cotton  buyers  are 
not  predicting  an  advance  in  prices  from  the  small¬ 
ness  of  this  year’s  crop,  because  there  there  will  be  a 
large  surplus  left  over  from  last  year  which,  with 
this  year’s  picking,  will  be  ample  for  the  demand.
