page  of  this  issue  and  means  that  the  subscription  ex¬ 
pires  this  week.  By  examining  these  numbers  from

Agricultural  news. 
General  Miles,  Monday,  received  orders  at  Chic¬ 
ago  to  take  steps  for  the  removal  of  100,000  cattle  now 
on  the  Cherokee  Outlet  or  Strip. 
Wisconsin  Protectionists  are  jubilant  at  the  estab¬ 
lishment  among  them  of  the  first  linen  factory,  which 
they  attribute  to  the  McKinley  Bill. 
Mrs.  L.  L.  Polk,  widow  of  the  late  president  of  the 
National  Alliance,  continues  the  publication  of  the 
Progressive  Farmer,  at  Raleigh,  N.  C.,  In  her  own 
name. 
Mr.  Atkinson,  the  statistical  authority,  says: 
“  The  farmer  In  the  Western  States  now  derives  as 
good  a  return  for  his  capital  and  labor  with  wheat 
at  $1  a  bushel  or  less,  as  he  did  in  1870  at  $1.(19  a 
bushel.”  Is  this  true?  , 
All  danger  of  a  recurrence  of  the  terrible  famine 
that  has  prevailed  with  progressive  Intensity  along 
the  Mexican  frontier  for  the  last  three  years  Is  re¬ 
ported  to  be  over,  as  copious  rains  have  lately  glad¬ 
dened  all  the  region. 
The  Great  Grangers’  Nineteenth  Annual  Inter¬ 
state  Picnic  opened  at  Williams’ Grove,  nearCarllsle, 
Pa.,  on  August  29,  under  the  most  favorable  auspices. 
The  grove  is  greatly  Improved  and  the  exhibits  are 
fully  up  to  former  years. 
Last  Wednesday  Premier  Gladstone  was  knocked 
down  by  a  belligerent  heifer  in  his  park  at  Hawar- 
den.  He  dodged  her  for  a  while;  and  though  tum¬ 
bled  and  shaken  he  wasn’t  hurt.  The  offender  was 
afterwards  pursued  and  shot. 
The  hop  harvest  commenced  in  earnest  in  Central 
New  York  on  Monday,  August  29.  The  crop  Is  not 
large,  but  the  hops  are  of  an  excellent  quality,  and 
It  Is  believed  will  be  worth  as  much  as  though  a 
larger  quantity  had  been  raised. 
An  official  report  at  St.  Petersburg,  dated  August 
20,  on  the  Russian  crops,  says  that  the  winter  crops 
In  all  the  provinces  except  1C,  are  In  a  satisfactory 
condition.  The  condition  of  the  summer  crops  is 
unsatisfactory  In  19  provinces. 
To  meet  a  demand  created  by  the  movement  of  the 
crops,  heavy  shipments  of  small  notes  have  been 
made  to  the  South  and  West.  Within  a  few  days 
$3,250,000  have  been  sentoout  from  New  York,  mostly 
in  one.  two.  live  and  ten-dollar  bills. 
Hal  Pointer,  the  new  king  of  pacers,  dethroned 
Direct  at  Chicago  the  other  day,  by  cutting  down  his 
record  of  2:00,  made  last  season,  to  2:05M-  Pointer's 
feat  was  performed  on  a  regular  track,  while  Direct 
had  the  advantage  of  a  kite-shaped  one. 
In  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1890,  this  country 
Imported  3,415,578  bushels  of  potatoes  and  If, 062, 796 
dozens  of  eggs,  and  exported  406,618  bushels  of  pota¬ 
toes  and  380,884  dozens  of  eggs.  During  the  past 
fiscal  year  we  imported  only  186,871  bushels  of  pota¬ 
toes  and  4,189,492  dozens  of  eggs,  and  exported  557,- 
022  bushels  of  potatoes  and  183,063  dozens  of  eggs.

The  Collector  of  Internal  Revenues  at  Chicago  re¬ 
ports  that  the  sale  of  stamps  for  oleomargarine  at 
bis  office,  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,1892. 
amounted  to  $616,161.00.  This  represents  an  output 
of  30,800,000  pounds  in  one  collection  district. 
Nancy  Hanks  has  broken  her  own  trotting  record, 
having  made  a  mile  Wednesday  last  In  2:0b%  before 
a  pneumatic  tire  sulky  on  a  kite-shaped  track  at  In¬ 
dependence,  Iowa.  Is  the  2:00  minute  trotter  coming 
soon?  The  mare  Is  only  six  years  old  and  Is  pretty 
sure  to  do  better. 
Telegraphic  dispatches  received  here  last  Wednes¬ 
day  from  many  points  In  the  Northwest  say  that  the 
general  rain  which  had  prevailed  for  48  hours  had 
done  Immense  damage  to  wheat  In  stacks,  and  that 
it  would  retard  the  ripening  of  late-sown  grain  and 
expose  It  to  damage  from  frost. 
Up  to  September  1,  there  have  been  74,199  head  of 
cattle  exported  to  Great  Britain  from  Montreal  this 
year,  as  against  64,991  during  the  same  period  last 
year.  The  sheep  trade,  however,  shows  a  falling  off. 
General  imports  were  never  so  light  as  at  present. 
Freight  sheds  along  the  harbor  are  absolutely  empty, 
and  shipping  men  are  complaining  about  the  stagna¬ 
tion  of  business. 
The  census  reports  for  1890  show  the  mortgages  on 
farms  in  Iowa  amount  to  $149,457,144,  and  $50,317,027 
on  town  and  city  lots;  in  Kansas  $174,720,071  on 
farms,  and  $68,426,725  on  town  and  city  lots;  In  Illi¬ 
nois  $165,289,112  on  farms,  and  $219,010,038  on  town  and 
city  lots.  The  census  also  shows  that  the  mortgaged 
debt  on  lots  in  Chicago  Is  greater  than  the  whole 
farm  debt  of  Kansas. 
A  late  convention  of  German  horse  butchers  agreed 
to  open  a  first-class  restaurant  in  Berlin  for  the  pur¬ 
pose  of  educating  the  upper  classes  to  the  use  of 
boise  flesh  as  a  viand.  The  report  submitted  to  the 
convention  stated  that  there  are  2,400  horse  butchers 
In  Germany,  who  kill  86,000  horses  annually.  These 
horses  are  mostly  fattened  for  the  meat  market.  No 
worn-out  animals  are  used. 
In  South  Carolina,  after  a  fierce  and  bellicose  pre¬ 
liminary  canvas,  Governor  Tillman  has  been  renom¬ 
inated  for  governor  at  the  primaries,  by  a  majority  of 
15,000  out  of  a  total  of  60,000  votes.  There  will  be  no 
“bolt”  as  all  parties  agreed  to  abide  by  the  outcome. 
The  farmers  have  also  It  seems  secured  the  nomina¬ 
tion  of  five  out  of  the  seven  Congressional  Repre¬ 
sentatives  from  the  State. 
Texas  fever,  which  first  made  its  appearance  in 
Kansas  in  Lyon  County,  has  spread  to  Greenwood 
County,  where  it  is  causing  great  mortality  among 
cattle.  Nine  hundred  head  there  have  died  from  the 
disease.  The  loss  is  put  at  $20,000.  Numerous  cases 
have  also  been  found  in  the  stockyards  of  this  city, 
and  on  some  New  Jersey  farms,  as  well  as  among  the 
cattle  in  several  other  States,  especially  In  the 
West. 
Kansas  City  has  in  two  years  advanced  from  one 
of  the  obscure  grain  markets  of  the  country  to  one 
of  the  foremost.  During  the  period  from  July  1, 
1891,  to  the  corresponding  date  this  year  it  is  claimed 
that  this  ambitious  metropolis  handled  more  wheat 
than  any  other  point  In  the  country  except  Minne¬ 
apolis.  Kansas  City  now  claims  to  be  the  greatest 
primary  winter  wheat  market  in  the  country,  out¬ 
stripping  St.  Louis  in  the  amount  received  directly 
from  country  shippers. 
Mrs.  Elise  Strauss  of  St.  Louis,  is  seeking  a  patent 
for  a  process  for  making  ”  sweet  potato  flour,”  etc. 
'I  he  processes  so-far  developed  are  of  peeling  the 
potato  and  kiln-drying  the  peel  so  that  it  will  keep 
for  any  length  of  time  as  a  food  for  live  stock;  of 
drying  and  grinding  the  sweet  potato  into  three  dis¬ 
tinct  grades  of  flour,  and  also  of  slicing  and  drying 
in  the  form  of  “  sweet  potato  Saratoga  chips.”  All 
these  different  forms  of  desslcated  product,  Mrs 
Strauss  claims,  will,  owing  to  their  being  thor¬ 
oughly  kiln-dried,  keep  for  years  in  any  climate. 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Early  apples  in  Michigan  are  a  full  crop. 
Southern  Indiana  has  a  good  crop  of  peaches  this 
year. 
Potatoes  are  low  and  while  the  supply  Is  not  over 
large,  prices  are  barely  steady. 
There  are  plenty  of  those  horrible  Champion  grapes 
in  the  market.  Every  basket  of  them  is  a  calamity. 
Niagara  grapes  are  dropping  in  price  and  before 
the  season  Is  over  will  sell  lower  than  good  Concords. 
The  butter  market  is  rather  dull  and  on  the  verge 
of  a  break,  though  there  Is  no  surplus  of  good  goods. 
The  demand  seems  unusually  slack  for  the  season. 
Prominent  dealers  have  freely  expressed  the  opin¬ 
ion  that  Ohio  and  Michigan  wools  will  show  an  ad¬ 
vance  of  from  one  to  two  cents  per  pound  within  the 
next  30  or  60  days. 
The  outlook  for  hop  growers  is  rather  promising 
and  theie  is  little  trouble  In  selling  the  coming  crop 
for  25  and  26  cents.  So  far,  the  hops  promise  to  be  of 
better  than  avei age  quality— a  little  rust  prevailing 
in  some  sections.  In  quantity  the  crop  will  not  be  as 
large  as  usual. 
The  Florida  orange  season  Is  at  an  end,  and  the 
crop  statistics  show  a  large  gain  over  previousyears. 
There  were  marketed  this  year  3,500,000  boxes, 
against  2,600,000  boxes  in  1890-91,  2,150,000  in  1689-90, 
and  only  1 ,500,000  boxes  in  1884-85.  The  average  price 
for  the  season  just  closed  is  estimated  at  $1.75  per 
box.  the  lowest  on  record. 
The  Hungarian  Minister  of  Agriculture  published 
at  Buda-Pesth  on  Saturday  his  estimates  of,  the 
world’s  crops,  surpluses  and  requirements  for  the 
great  international  grain  congress  in  session  at 
Vienna.  According  to  his  figures  Europe  will 
quire  to  import  something  over  170,000,000  bushels 
wheat  this  crop  year  from  North  America,  India  and 
Australia.  The  complete  estimates  for  wheat  in 
Euroie,  in  percentages,  are  as  follows:  Austria,  110; 
Hungary,  102;  Prussia,  spring,  86,  winter.  103;  Sax- 
ony,  spring,  107,  winter,  114;  Upper  and  Lower  Ba-

A  statement  prepared  at  the  Treasury  Department 
shows  that  the  amount  of  sugar  produced  in  the 
United  States  during  the  last  fiscal  year  upon  which, 
bounty  was  paid  was  as  follows:  Cane  sugar,  364,- 
829,411  pounds;  beet  sugar,  12,004,838;  sorghum  sugar, 
1,136,086:  maple  sugar,  144,882  —  total,  378,115,217 
pounds.  The  amount  of  bounty  paid  on  this  produc¬ 
tion  was  $7,342,077.  The  estimated  amount  required 
to  pay  the  bounty  for  the  fiscal  year  1893  is  $9,000,000. 
A  HOME  CHANCE  IN  GEORGIA. 
Can  a  young  man  make  a  home  here?  Yes,  em¬ 
phatically,  here  in  this  section,  Athens,  Ga.  I  know 
of  noplace  where  there  is  a  better  opening  for  farm¬ 
ers  who  desire  to  farm  on  a  small  scale,  and  will  not 
devote  themselves  to  the  different  crops  and  meth¬ 
ods  usually  followed  by  those  to  the  manner  born. 
The  latter  plant  corn,  oats,  sweet  potatoes  (yams) 
and  cotton,  but  mainly  cotton,  and  can’t  be  induced 
to  change  their  methods.  All  of  the  small  fruits  do 
well  here,  except  gooseberries.  Apples,  peaches, 
pears,  figs,  cherries,  plums,  grapes,  etc.,  bear  well 
where  given  the  proper  attention.  Strawberries  sell 
at  from  10  to  25  cents  per  quart— never  for  less  than 
the  former,  unless  quite  Inferior.  There  are  many 
lots  on  the  edge  of  the  city  where  fine  fruits  of  all 
kinds  are  raised  without  difficulty  for  home  con¬ 
sumption;  practically  none  are  raised  by  farmers  in 
this  section  for  sale,  except  a  few  peaches  and  pears, 
and  those  are  inferior.  I  know  of  only  two  farmers 
within  a  radius  of  10  miles  who  raise  strawberries  for 
sale,  and  theirs  are  inferior  varieties— small  and 
poor.  No  currants,  raspberries,  and  very  few  good 
peaches,  grapes,  figs,  cherries,  apples  and  pears  are 
offered  for  sale  by  local  growers— the  supply  is 
shipped  in,  largely  from  south  Georgia. 
Practically  no  Irish  potatoes  are  grown  here  for 
sale  by  farmers,  thought  they  grow  finely.  The  de¬ 
mand,  which  is  large,  especially  in  the  fall  and  win¬ 
ter,  Is  supplied  by  shipments  from  the  North  and 
West,  the  retail  prices  being  from  $1  to  $1.25  per 
bushel.  The  same  Is  the  case  with  regard  to  many 
other  staple  farm  and  garden  food  crops,  which  are 
supplied  by  shipments  from  south  Georgia  and  the 
West,  though  they  grow  here  with  the  utmost  pro¬ 
fusion,  if  only  given  a  chance.  local  farmers,  how¬ 
ever,  cannot  be  induced  to  grow  them,  but  go  on 
serenely  planting  more  and  more  cotton,  and  getting 
poorer  and  poorer  each  year. 
There  is  a  fine  opening  for  a  number  of  good  mar¬ 
ket  gardeners  around  the  city,  and  also  for  dairies 
Milk  usually  sells  for  25  cents  per  gallon  in  summer 
and  for  30  cents  in  winter,  and  never  for  less  than  23 
cents.  Buttermilk  brings  10  cents;  good  butter 
usually  25  cents,  frequently  40.  and  never  less  than  20. 
Four  railroads  enter  here— two  old  and  two  new. 
Population  about  12.000.  and  growing  rapidly;  alti¬ 
tude  about  800  feet  above  sea  level;  usual  summer 
temperature  between  85  and  90  degrees  Fah.;  highest 
this  year,  95;  usual  winter  temperature  about  40  de¬ 
grees.  I  have  never  known  it  less  than  10  degrees 
above  zero. 
Lands  can  be  rented  for  from  $1  to  $4  per  acre, 
according  to  quality  and  location.  Good  lands, 
suitable  for  growing  any  of  the  crops  or  fruits, 
can  be  bought  in  this  county,  on  the  lines  of 
the  railroads,  for  from  $10  to  $20  per  acre  (poor  land 
cheaper.)  From  a  few  acres  up  to  hundreds  can  be 
bought  on  easy  terms— on  from  one  to  five  years’ 
time,  annual  payments.  There  is  no  better  opening 
for  young  or  middle-aged  men  who  mean  business 
and  will  work  on  some  af  the  lines  indicated  above. 
Farm  work  is  done  almost  exclusively  by  negroes. 
nd  the  usual  wages,  where  hired  and  not  working 
on”  shares,”  are  from  $8  to  $10  per  month,  and  “  ra¬ 
tions”— a  peek  of  meal,  three  pounds  of  bacon,  and 
one  quart  of  syrup.  Women  get  from  $5  to  $7  and 
“rations.”  This  labor  is  somewhat  unreliable  and 
requires  the  master’s  eye  and  example  to  obtain  the 
best  results.  But  I  have  yet  to  find  that  labor,  ex¬ 
cept  in  rare  instances,  which  is  not  much  more  pro¬ 
ductive  when  somewhat  overlooked.  E.  k.  l.
