1892 
THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
549 
New  York  State  fair. 
As  many  of  our  readers  probably  know,  the  New 
York  State  Agricultural  Society,  under  whose  aus¬ 
pices  these  fairs  are  held,  decided  three  years  ago  to 
cease  Its  migratory  plan  and  locate  permanently  in 
one  central  place.  Syracuse  Is  almost  exactly  In  the 
center  of  the  State,  and.  after  considerable  trouble 
and  expense,  grounds  were  secured  near  that  city, 
which  from  their  position  geographically  and  as  re¬ 
gards  railroad  facilities,  seemed  to  have  almost  been 
made  for  the  purpose  of  holding  expositions.  The 
plot  comprises  about  118  acres  of  land,  just  sloping 
enough  to  admit  of  proper  drainage.  Half  of  it 
will  be  devoted  eventually  to  as  good  a  mile  track  as 
there  is  anywhere,  and  already  a  very  excellent  half 
mile  track  has  been  built  there. 
For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  society,  races 
for  the  encouragement  of  the  breeders  of  trotting 
and  running  horses,  will  be  held  at  the  State  Fair. 
The  programme  includes  several  excellent  races 
each  day.  In  addition  to  these,  there  will  be  some 
good  hurdle  races,  and  the  finest  chariot  races  in  the 
world.  These  chariot  races  are  conducted  by  the 
well-known  Mr.  A.  McDonald  of  Chicago,  and  con¬ 
sist  of  two  four-in-hands,  harnessed  each  to  a  two¬ 
wheeled  chariot,  one  driven  by  a  man  and  the  other 
by  a  lady.  They  are  very  exciting  races,  and  are  run 
in  earnest  from  the  beginning  to  the  finish. 
The  officers  of  the  Society  congratulate  themselves 
on  their  success  In  securing  the  attendance  of  his 
Excellency,  the  Governor  of  the  State,  lion.  Roswell 
P.  Flower,  who  will  deliver  an  address  on  Saturday, 
September  10  He  will  be  accompanied  by  his  staff 
and  several  prominent  officials  of  the  State.  He  will 
be  accorded  a  grand  reception  on  the  grounds  by 
State  militia,  Independent  Order  of  Odd  Fellows,  etc. 
On  Tuesday,  September  13,  it  is  expected  that  there 
will  be  the  greatest  gathering  of  grangers  and  farm¬ 
ers  this  State  has  ever  seen.  The  Worthy  Master  of 
the  National  Grange.  Mr.  J.  H.  Brigham,  will  be  pres¬ 
ent,  and  deliver  an  address.  Grangers  all  over  the 
State  manifest  great  enthusiasm  and  there  are  In¬ 
dications  of  the  coming  of  large  delegations  from  all 
parts  of  the  State.  Arrangements  have  been  made 
for  special  rates  on  the  railroads,  all  of  which,  viz: 
the  N.  Y.  C.  &  H.  R.  RR.,  West  Shore  and  D.  L.  &  W. 
RR.,  have  depots  on  the  grounds,  while  the  R.  W.  & 
O.  RR.  makes  direct  connection  at  Syracuse.  We  are 
confident  that  our  readers  will  see  in  this  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  for  diversion  and  enjoyment,  which  comes  at 
least  but  once  a  year. 
87,3.  The  reduction  is  from  90  to  86  In  Wisconsin,  92 
to  87  In  Minnesota  and  90  to  85  in  North  Dakota. 
There  has  been  a  slight  advance  in  South  Dakota  and 
Nebraska,  with  no  change  in  Iowa.  In  the  mountain 
States  condition  is  generally  high.  In  Washington 
a  decline  is  reported  from  90  to  78  as  a  result  of 
blighting  heat,  and  in  Oregon  from  91  to  76.  Condition 
of  other  crops  averages  as  follows:  Spring  rye  89.8 
instead  of  92.7  in  July.  Oats  86.2,  fall  of  one  point. 
Barley  91,1  instead  of  92.  Buckwheat,  acreage  101.3; 
condition.  92.9.  Potatoes  86.8,  declining  from  90. 
Tobacco  88.8.  a  fall  from  92.7.  Hay  93.2.

We  learn  from  the  Secretary  of  the  fair  that  there 
are  a  large  number  of  entries  In  all  classes,  and  the 
indications  are  that  the  exhibit  in  the  Ladies'  Depart¬ 
ment  will  far  surpass  anything  ever  seen  at  the  fair 
heretofore  No  gambling,  liquor  selling,  or  other 
objectionable  features  can  be  found  on  the  State 
Fair  grounds.  In  this  respect  It  is  a  model  exhibi¬ 
tion  and  one  which  women  and  children  can  attend 
with  perfect  safety. 
The  days  of  the  fair  are  from  September  8  to  the 
15,  1892. 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
The  butter  market  continues  in  a  healthy  condi¬ 
tion,  and  the  indications  now  are  that  it  will  not  be 
lower  than  the  present  price  during  the  season.  The 
demand  for  really  fine  butter  is  fully  equal  to  the 
supply— rather  exceeding  it,  while  there  is  always 
plenty  of  the  lower  grades. 
The  Bureau  of  the  American  Republics  publishes 
some  interesting  statistics  concerning  the  cattle  in¬ 
dustry  of  Uruguay.  With  a  population  of  about  650,000 
people,  700,000  head  of  cattle  are  slaughtered  an¬ 
nually  and  100,000  head  exported  alive.  The  value 
of  an  ox  is:  for  meat,  150  pounds,  $9.90;  hide,  68 
pounds,  $7.74;  tallow,  40  pounds,  $2.49;  remnants,  50 
cents— total,  $20.63;  expenses  at  yards,  $3  60.  The 
annual  exports  of  meat  products  are  about  143.000,000 
pounds,  of  which  70,000,000  are  jerked  beef  or  dried 
meat;  dressed  meat,  3,500,000;  extract  of  meat, 
1,000,000;  grease,  35,000.000;  tallow  skins,  12.000;  hair, 
3,250,000,  and  fertilizers  9.000.000  pounds. 
The  August  report  of  the  Statistician  of  the  Depart¬ 
ment  of  Agriculture,  published  on  August  11.  shows 
a  reduction  in  the  condition  of  cotton  during  July 
from  86.9  to  82.3  per  cent.  This  is  the  lowest  average 
since  August,  1886.  when  the  general  condition  was 
one  point  lower.  The  season  has  been  almost  every¬ 
where  too  wet,  though  in  South  Carolina  and  Geor¬ 
gia  alternations  of  excessive  rainfall  and  blistering 
sunshine  have  been  injurious.  In  Texas,  need  of 
rain  is  reported  by  some  correspondents.  The  natural 
result  of  these  conditions  appears  in  grassy  fields, 
rank  plant  growth  and  small  fruitage,  with  consider¬ 
able  shedding.  Grass  worms  and  caterpillars  have 
appeared  in  the  more  southern  and  western  districts, 
but  no  material  damage  has  yet  resulted.  The  State 
averages  of  condition  are:  Virginia,  83;  North  Caro¬ 
lina,  82;  South  Carolina,  83;  Georgia,  84;  Florida,  81; 
Alabama,  83;  Mississippi,  80;  Louisianla,  83;  Texas, 
86;  Arkansas,  75,  and  Tennessee,  79. 
The  crop  returns  of  the  Department  for  corn, 
spring  wheat,  etc.,  show  a  slight  improvement  in  the 
condition  of  corn,  raising  the  monthly  average  from 
81.1  in  July  to  82.5  in  August.  In  only  four  years 
since  the  initiation  of  crop  reporting  has  there  been 
lower  August  condition.  In  the  year  of  the  worst 
failure,  1881,  it  was  79.  declining  to  65  in  October.  In 
1890  it  was  73.3,  declining  to  70.6  in  October.  In 
August,  188G,  it  was  80.7,  and  in  1887  it  was  80.5,  de¬ 
clining  later  only  in  the  latter  years. 
A  slight  Improvement  is  indicated  in  the  States 
north  of  the  Ohio  River  and  a  greater  advance  in  the 
States  west  of  the  Mississippi  River,  except  Kansas 
and  Nebraska.  Condition  is  high  In  nearly  all  the 
Southern  States,  nearly  the  same  as  in  July  in  the 
breadth  west  of  the  Mississippi,  higher  in  the  lower 
States  of  the  Atlantic  coast,  and  slightly  lower  in 
Alabama  and  Mississippi.  A  small  decline  is  seen 
in  the  Middle  States,  except  New  York,  and  also  in 
the  Eastern  States,  though  In  both  of  these  divisions 
the  average  is  larger  than  tn  the  West. 
The  following  averages  of  principal  States  are 
given:  New  York,  90;  Pennsylvania,  86;  Virginia, 
90;  Georgia,  97;  Texas,  94:  Tennessee,  91;  Ohio,  81: 
Indiana,  74;  Illinois,  73;  Iowa,  79;  Mis;  ourl,  82;  Kan¬ 
sas,  81;  Nebraska,  80.  Most  correspondents  indicate 
a  present  tendency  to  further  improvement.  The 
returns  relating  to  spring  wheat  are  lower,  declining 
during  the  month  from  a  general  average  of  90.9  to 
CHEESE.
