Agricultural  News. 
{Continued.) 
At  the  “  better  roads  ”  convention  held  at  Des 
Moines,  Iowa,  the  other  day,  300  delegates  were  en¬ 
rolled.  It  was  strongly  urged  that  the  General  Gov¬ 
ernment  should  aid  In  the  improvement  of  the  roads 
of  the  country  under  the  Constitutional  provision 
glvingCorgress  the  right  to  establish  post  roads.  It 
was  a  large  and  influential  meeting. 
Owing  to  the  switchmen's  strike  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y., 
which  collapsed  last  Wednesday  night,  the  price  of 
meat  In  this  city  and  in  most  parts  of  the  Eastern 
States  went  up  two  cents  per  pound  for  the  best  cuts, 
while  hardly  any  advance  was  made  in  lower  grades. 
A  large  quantity  of  perishable  farm  products  was 
lost  on  the  blockaded  cars  at  Buffalo,  and  shipments 
were  greatly  hindered  by  the  general  refusal  of  the 
roads  passing  through  the  town  to  receive  perishable 
freight.  Owing  to  the  injury  done  to  their  business, 
few  farmers  within  a  wide  area  adjoining  will  sym¬ 
pathize  deeply  with  the  defeated  strikers,  although 
these  certainly  bad  serious  grievances  in  the  way  of 
excessively  long  hours  at  work  and  scant  pay  The 
elevators  are  crammed  with  freight  by  lake,  and  now 
that  traffic  Is  no  longer  checked,  a  rushing  transpor¬ 
tation  business  must  set  in. 
Farmers— the  chief  victims  of  trusts  and  similar 
“combines”- must  everywhere  rejoice  at  the  blow 
struck  last  Thursday  at  one  of  the  largest  and  most 
extortionate  of  the  brood,  by  Chancellor  McGill  of 
New  Jersey,  who  decided,  after  lengthy  litigation, 
that  the  monstrous  Beading  Railroad  Coal  Combine 
is  an  illegal  combination  and  that  roads  engaged  in 
it  must  henceforth  act  separately.  The  declson  was  a 
scathing  arraignment  of  a  conscienceless  monopoly; 
but,  of  course,  this  will  exhaust  all  legal  quibbles, 
technicalities  and  subterfuges  before  submitting  to 
the  law,  or  even  changing  its  form,  to  necessitate 
another  course  of  similar  litigation.  It  has  once 
more  put  up  the  price  of  coal,  and  the  railroads 
engaged  in  it  have  also  put  up  the  freight  charges 
on  coal.  After  September  1,  the  price  will,  on  an 
average,  be  from  50  to  60  cents  per  ton  higher  in  the 
West  and  from  25  to  40  cents  higher  in  the  East. 
Coals  are  higher  now  than  they  have  been  for  years 
and  there  is  no  check  whatever  on  the  extortion  of 
this  illegal  combination. 
The  farmers  of  the  Dakotas  and  Minnesota  decry  the 
President’s  proclamation  issued  last  Monday,  impos¬ 
ing  a  tax  of  20  cents  per  ton  on  all  freight  designed 
for  Canadian  ports  passing  through  the  “  Soo  ”  or 
Sault  Ste  Marie  Canal,  in  Michigan,  in  retaliation  for 
the  tax  of  18  cents  per  ton  imposed  by  the  Dominion 
government  on  freight  designed  for  American  ports 
passing  through  the  Welland  Canal.  This  will  affect 
not  only  freight  on  lake  vessels,  but  also  that  by  the 
Canadian  Pacific  Railroad,  Inasmuch  as  that  too 
passes  through  the  canal.  The  amount  of  the  tax 
on  grain  will  be  hardly  felt;  but  that  on  westward 
freight  will  be  considered  heavy.  The  Canadians 
are  working  day  and  night  on  a  canal  nearly  parallel 
with  the  Soo,  but  In  the  Dominion.  They  expect  to 
have  it  completed  In  time  for  next  harvest,  when 
they  can  laugh  at  American  retaliation,  they  think. 
In  case,  however,  that  the  present  measure  does  not 
have  the  desired  effect,  our  government  is  likely  to 
prohibit  the  passage  of  freight  in  bond  through  the 
United  States  for  the  Canadian  Pacific  and  Grand 
Trunk  railways.

CHOP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Georgia  took  in  $500,000  on  watermelons  this  season. 
And  now  It  is  said  that  the  onion  crop  of  Massa¬ 
chusetts  Is  short. 
The  Paris  correspondent  of  the  London  Times  says, 
under  date  of  August  23,  that  the  French  wheat  crop 
is  estimated  at  300,000,000  bushels — nearly  up  to  the 
decennial  average. 
The  crop  of  tobacco  In  the  bright  tobacco  belt 
about  Danville,  Va.,  has  been  materially  cut  off  by 
the  drought,  but  the  late  copious  rains  Insure  a  short 
crop  of  good  tobacco. 
Severe  weather  In  the  south  of  Ireland  has  caused 
great  damage  to  the  crops.  The  hay  crop  has  been 
destroyed  and  the  potato  blight  has  appeared.  The 
potato  crop  had  promised  to  be  the  best  in  years. 
Champion  grapes  from  the  Hudson  River  district 
are  plentiful  and  as  poor  as  usual.  Moore’s  Early 
are  coming  in  and  are  a  very  good  grape.  We  shall 
soon  be  In  the  height  of  the  season  when  grapes  will 
be  cheap. 
The  market  is  very  well  supplied  with  peaches,  but 
a  much  smaller  quantity  will  supply  the  demand 
this  season,  as  prices  rule  higher,  owing  to  the  short 
crop.  Most  of  the  fruit  now  coming  in  is  of  very 
good  quality. 
Careful  observers  of  the  markets  cannot  but  ob¬ 
serve  the  steady  improvement  that  is  being  made  in 
the  tomato.  The  wrinkled  ones  have  practically  dis¬ 
appeared,  and  even  the  early  shipments  are  fine  and 
smooth.  In  no  one  vegetable  (or  fruit)  has  there 
been  such  rapid  progress  made  In  recent  years  as  is 
shown  in  the  tomato,  and  we  are  not  at  the  end  of 
our  resources  in  this  direction. 
Hamilton  Disston,  of  Philadelphia,  and  other  capi¬ 
talists  bought  up  in  Florida  vast  tracts  of  swamps 
and  overflowed  land,  and  decided  that  they  would 
attempt  the  cultivation  of  sugar-cane.  Altogether 
they  acquired  about  6,000,000,  or  375  square  miles,  pay¬ 
ing  the  State  25  cents  an  acre.  This  year  they  will 
make  6,000,000  pounds  of  sugar,  and  draw  a  bounty 
of  $120,000.  Next  year  they  will  increase  this  output, 
and  In  a  few  years  Florida  will  be  a  rival  of  Lousiana 
In  the  production  of  cane  sugar. 
The  Mark  Lane  Express  of  August  22,  says  that  the 
new  English  wheat  crop  has  started  for  the  markets. 
The  average  opening  price  Is  32  shillings.  This  is 
eight  shillings  below  the  opening  price  of  1891,  and 
would  amount,  on  a  sale  of  8,000,000  quarters,  to 
£3,200,000.  The  withdrawal  of  this  capital  from  the 
English  farmer,  without  any  equivalent  gain  to  the 
Importer,  Is  a  most  serious  financial  problem.  All 
foreign  wheat,  except  Indian,  has  fallen  one  shilling. 
The  total  visible  supply  on  August  10  was  6.821.000 
quarters,  against  3,906,000  quarters  In  1891,  and  4,564,- 
000  in  1890.

Condensed  Correspondence 
Connecticut,  Newton.  August  53.— Farmers 
hereabouts  are  very  much  worried  over  the  crazy 
antics  of  their  cattle,  caused  by  a  small,  black  fly 
which  Is  new  in  this  section.  The  cattle  congregate 
in  groups  and  rub  each  other's  backs  just  behind  the 
shoulder.  Suddenly  the  pain  and  stings  become  so 
intense  that  the  whole  herd  will  gallop  off,  circling 
about  the  lot,  and,  unless  the  fences  are  of  good 
height,  will  jump  them  and  go  off  on  a  mad  run.  The 
Insect  Is  of  the  nature  of  a  flea  in  its  ability  to  bite, 
but  it  flies  Instead  of  jumping.  Thousands  of  them 
will  get  on  one  ox  or  cow  and  bite  until  the  animal  Is 
almost  distracted.  There  seems  to  be  no  remedy. 
The  cattle  keep  striking  their  sides  just  back  of  the 
shoulder  blade  with  their  heads  and  horns,  and  some¬ 
times  fall  exhausted  by  their  efforts  to  free  them¬ 
selves  from  their  tormentors.  L.  M.  H. 
Canada,  fernhill,  Ontario,  August  15.— Early 
spring  was  cold,  and  the  spring  work  was  got  through 
In  a  very  short  time,  without  man  or  beast  suffering 
from  a  rush  of  work.  But  when  the  wet  weather 
commenced,  the  ground  was  continually  soaked  and 
the  tile  drains  were  taxed  to  their  utmost  capacity, 
and  the  drained  ground  was  packed  solid.  Reas,  corn 
and  potatoes  will  hardly  average  25  per  cent  of  aver¬ 
age  crops,  while  oats  will  be  about  80  and  hay  about 
liU.  Spring  wheat,  as  usual,  Is  low— 40  per  cent— and 
barley  65.  Fall  wheat  will  turn  out  a  fair  crop — much 
better  than  it  promised  in  spring;  but  the  grist  will 
not  be  as  good,  on  account  of  the  great  bulk  of 
straw,  as  Is  generally  had  In  this  section.  The  hot. 
dry  weather  that  commenced  about  July  1  ripened 
it  a  little  quicker  than  usual,  and  so  the  grain  Is  not 
as  large  as  In  other  years.  Honey  Is  a  short  crop, 
which  is  always  the  case  when  we  have  such  ex¬ 
tremes  of  weather.  Fruits  will  be  very  scarce  on  ac¬ 
count  of  the  excessively  wet  weather  when  the  ap¬ 
ples,  plums,  pears  and  cherries  were  in  blosBom.  pre¬ 
venting  proper  fertilization.  Pastures  have  been 
very  good  all  along.  We  had  some  very  hot  weather 
both  in  this  month  and  In  July,  the  thermometer 
often  registering  as  high  as  98  degrees  in  the  shade, 
and  80  degrees  being  nothing  strange.  Harvesting 
is  completed,  and  everybody  Is  plowing  and  getting 
things  in  shape  for  fall  wheat.  J.  m.  w. 
A  NEW-YORKER  IN  MARYLAND. 
Last  fall  I  made  a  trip  to  Maryland,  having  heard 
and  read  so  much  about  the  fine  farming  lands  that 
were  there  being  sold  very  cheap.  Having  reached 
Baltimore,  I  took  passage  on  a  steamer  up  the  Chop- 
tank  River  and  landed  at  Covey’s  Landing.  Stopping 
at  a  farmer’s  house,  I  inquired  about  the  crops;  he 
Informed  me  that  the  main  crops  were  corn  followed 
by  wheat  in  the  fall.  I  asked  If  good  crops  of  wheat 
were  obtained  after  corn.  “  Oh,  yes,  right  smart,” 
he  replied.  The  stalks  are  left  in  the  Held  In 
rows  and  the  wheat  is  sown  in  between  them.  “  No 
hurry  about  the  stalks,”  he  said,  ”  we  can  draw  them 
when  we  can’t  hunt  rabbits  and  squirrels.”  Wheat 
made  about  25  bushels  and  corn  15  barrels  per  acre. 
The  captain  on  the  boat  said  24,000  bushels  of  corn 
a  week  were  shipped  by  his  line,  and  there  were 
two  others.  Land  can  be  had  for  $20  per  acre  and 
upward  with  improvements,  but  It  is  no  place  for  a 
man  unless  he  has  some  money  to  start  with.  Wages 
are  very  low,  averaging  $12  per  month.  Some  new¬ 
comers  have  the  ague.  The  colored  children,  of 
whom  there  are  not  a  few,  have  separate  schools. 
Hay  brings  $8  to  $10  per  ton;  wheat,  95  cent;  corn, 
45  cents.  Only  a  small  quantity  of  oats  Is  raised,  and 
this  Is  raised  by  Northern  men.  Irish  and  sweet 
potatoes  bring  30  cents.  Poultry  and  eggs  bring  good 
prices.  It  Is  a  fine  place  for  poultry  raisers.  The 
climate  seems  to  be  suited  to  the  business  and  trans¬ 
portation  is  cheap.  Peaches  sold  all  the  way  from 
40  cents  down  to  10  cents  per  crate.  The  latter  did 
not  pay  for  transportation  charges.  The  crop  was 
an  unusually  large  one  any  many  rotted  on  the  trees 
The  weather  was  tine.  C.  f.
