THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
Sept.  24 
The  Carman  Grape  Ready 
for  Subscribers. 
Conditions  :  A  vine  will  be  sent  to 
any  yearly  subscriber  for  1892  who  (1) 
makes  due  application  for  it,  (2)  and 
sends  eight  cents  in  stamps  to  pay  for  the 
mailing  only.  (3)  Applications  re¬ 
ceived  after  the  present  supply  is  ex¬ 
hausted  will  be  supplied  next  spring. 
The  price  of  the  vines  is  fixed  at  $5  each, 
in  order  that  only  subscribers  may  secure 
them.  We  recommend  that  only  sub¬ 
scribers  living  south  of  the  Ohio  and  Poto¬ 
mac  rivers  send  for  the  vines  this  fall, 
and  those  north  next  spring. 
Ruinous  storms  have  destroyed  two- 
thirds  of  the  crop,  but  several  thousands 
are  now  ready  for  sending  out  and  Mr. 
Munson  will  have  an  ample  supply  by 
next  spring. 
$200.00  for  Trial  Clubs. 
We  want  500,000  readers  for  The  R. 
N.-Y.,  and  as  many  “trial”  readers  as 
our  friends  will  secure  at  only  25  cents 
for  three  months,  in  order  that  these 
short-timers,  as  well  as  regular  readers, 
may  learn  of  and  want  the  splendid  array 
of  sterling  “novelties”  in  seeds  and 
plants  that  we  shall  soon  announce. 
Accordingly,  on  page  629,  we  have 
made  a  special  offer  of  valuable  books 
for  small  “trial”  clubs,  and  now  add 
to  that  offer  the  following  :  On  Jan¬ 
uary  1  next  we  will  divide  up  the  sum 
of  $200  among  those  who  shall  send  us 
before  that  time  clubs  of  10  or  more  new 
trial  subscriptions  at  25  cents  each  ;  the 
largest  clubs  and  the  smallest  (above 
nine)  to  share  in  the  division  strictly 
pro  rata.  This  is  in  addition  to  any  other 
premium  offers.  The  trial  subscribers 
must  be  new ;  that  is,  parties  whose 
names  have  not  been  on  our  books  for 
two  years  past,  and  outside  the  family  of 
any  old  subscriber. 
Only  40  competitors  shared  in  our  last 
trial-clxCb  cash  premiums  ! 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Bartletts,  when  choice,  still  lead  the  market  In 
price,  with  Boses  a  good  second.  This  valuable  pear 
Is  growing  In  popularity  with  each  returning  season. 
The  latest  Indications  are  that  the  wheat  crop  of 
Kansas  this  season  will  reach  70,000,000  bushels— an 
Increase  of  5,000,000  over  the  earlier  estimates.  Corn 
will  be  a  reduced  crop— oats  an  Increased. 
A  few  fancy  Niagaras  are  selling  at  from  four  to 
six  cents,  but  the  bulk  of  them  are  selling  at  the 
same  price  as  Concords,  and  are  extremely  dull  at 
that.  A  very  large  part  of  the  crop  will  be  tumbled 
into  the  city  wine-makers  at  2%  and  3  cents  per 
pound. 
The  butter  market  remains  In  a  very  satisfactory 
condition  and  fine  goods  are  firmly  held  for  the  top 
prices,  while  the  cheese  market  Is  stronger,  a  sub¬ 
stantial  advance  In  price  having  taken  place.  The 
situation  for  dairy  products,  Is,  on  the  whole,  quite 
encouraging. 
The  market  1b  quiet  on  hops  and  dealers  and 
brewers  are  making  their  usual  play  at  this  season 
for  a  break  In  the  price,  to  be  kept  there  until  all  the 
stocks  are  out  of  the  growers’  hands.  Then  the  fight 
will  be  transferred  to  the  city  and  be  between 
brewers  and  dealers. 
American  apples  were  selling  at  last  accounts  In 
Liverpool  at  about  the  following  rates:  Kings,  $3.88 
to  $5,311;  Baldwins,  $3.05  to  $3.42;  Holland  Pippins, 
$2.43  to  $2.91.  Twenty  Ounce,  $3.1(1  to  $3.64.  The  de¬ 
mand  Is  good  for  high-quality  fruit;  It  never  pays 
to  ship  fruit  of  inferior  quality.  So  far,  exports  are 
running  but  little  below  those  of  last  season. 
The  Florence,  S.  C.,  tobacco  market  opened  on  the 
13th  Inst.,  and  another  at  Darlington,  S.  C.,  nearby, 
will  do  so  on  the  27th.  The  two  In  order  named  are 
the  first  South  Carolina  tobacco  markets  ever  estab¬ 
lished.  There  were  3,000,000  or  more  pounds  of  bright 
tobacco  successfully  raised  and  cured  In  this  part  of 
South  Carolina  this  year. 
Advices  from  Virginia  and  North  Carolina  say  that 
of  bright  tobacco  70  per  cent  has  been  cut  and  cured 
In  both  States,  the  30  per  cent  In  the  field  Is  growing, 
spreading  some,  but  will  make  altogether  a  desirable 
dark  tobacco.  There  are  great  areas  In  both  dark 
and  bright  sections  that  will  count  the  crop  one-half 
and  even  less.  In  short,  Virginia  and  North  Carolina 
will  have  a  very  mixed  crop  In  1892,  much  very  poor. 
The  latest  advices  from  different  parts  of  the  West 
and  Northwest  tell  us  that  the  weather  has  been  ex¬ 
traordinarily  variable.  Now  east  of  the  Mississippi 
River  the  country  Is  dry  but  not  droughty.  On  the 
other  side  of  the  river,  In  Kansas  and  Missouri,  as 
well  as  Nebraska,  more  or  less  rain  has  fallen  during 
the  past  30  days.  The  seeding  of  the  winter  wheat 
crop  of  1892-4893  has  just  begun,  with  surroundings 
much  more  favorable  than  those  of  the  preceding 
year.  There  has  been  no  frost  yet  to  damage  the 
corn  crop,  but  It  has  made  slow  progress  toward  ma¬ 
turity.  Probably  five  per  cent  of  the  entire  yield  of 
the  country  Is  now  safe  from  frost  Injury,  but  the 
last  10  days  have  not  been  favorable  for  Its  ripening. 
Low  prices  of  grain  are  tending  to  check  the  move¬ 
ment  out  of  farmers’  hands,  and  the  rush  for  the 
season  Is  over. 
According  to  the  latest  crop  report  of  the  Depart¬ 
ment  of  Agriculture,  the  average  of  winter  and  spring 
wheat  as  harvested  Is  85.3.  There  Is  a  decline  In  the 
September  condition  of  corn  to  79.5  from  82.5  In 
August.  The  present  condition  Is  79  In  Ohio,  75  In 
Indiana,  70  In  Illinois,  78  In  Iowa,  82  In  Missouri,  70  In 
Kansas  and  76  In  Nebraska.  In  other  States  the  av¬ 
erage  condition  is  everywhere  higher  than  the  Na¬ 
tional  average,  except  In  Michigan  and  Wisconsin. 
In  comparison  with  September  reports  of  the  past 
10  years  only  these  were  lower;  70  1  In  1890,  72.3  In 
1887,  76.7  In  1886.  The  present  figures  are  between 
five  and  six  points  below  the  average  of  10  previous 
years.  The  crop  Is  well  grown  and  maturing  rapidly 
without  frost  as  yet,  In  the  Eastern  States.  In  the 
Middle  States  drought  has  Injured  corn,  especially 
In  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania,  reducing  the  con¬ 
dition  five  points  In  each,  while  In  New  York  It  is 
only  depressed  from  80  to  79.  In  Delaware  the  last 
planted  corn  has  been  Injured.  In  Maryland  drought 
has  caused  a  reduction,  while  from  South  Carolina 
around  to  Texas  the  high  condition  is  well  main¬ 
tained.  no  figures  falling  to  90,  except  those  of  Mlss- 
lsslpl  and  Florida.  Rain  In  this  region  has  Interfered 
with  cultivation,  and  In  some  districts  rotting  of  the 
ears  Is  reported.  In  Texis  and  Arkansas  good  yields 
are  assured,  and  a  fair  crop  Is  made  In  Tennessee.  A 
decided  Improvement  Is  reported  In  Indiana.  There 
has  been  Injury  from  drought  In  Michigan,  Illinois 
and  Kansas,  and  in  a  less  degree  In  Missouri  and 
Iowa.  The  crop  Is  late  throughout  the  northwest.  No 
Injury  from  frost  Is  reported. 
A  HOME  IN  LOUISIANA. 
In  a  recent  Issue  you  say  “Lots  of  young  men  are 
looking  about  for  small  farms  or  places  where  they 
can  work  and  earn  enough  to  buy  a  piece  of  land? 
Can  they  do  It  In  yoursectlonl”  They  can  do  It  In 
this  section,  because  they  do. 
The  farmers  can  raise  everything  here  that  Is  raised 
In  the  West,  except  wheat;  and  In  addition,  they  can 
raise  cotton,  tobacco,  rice  and  sugar,  which  cannot 
be  raised  there.  A  man  can  make  a  better  living 
here  with  less  labor  than  he  can  in  the  West  or  the 
East.  The  Southern  farmer  can  raise  more  products 
and  commodities  than  his  Western  brother,  but  he 
doesn’t  do  It.  He  raises  for  his  moneyed  crop  only  cot¬ 
ton  at  six  cents  per  pound  and  Is  not  wise  in  doing  it. 
Our  soli  Is  fertile.  Is  high  land,  above  overflow,  and 
free  from  malaria.  The  climate  Is  mild  and  delight¬ 
ful,  and  remarkable  for  Its  healthfulness.  The  ther¬ 
mometer  rarely  marks  below  the  freezing  point,  and 
In  summer  seldom  goes  above  90  degrees  and  then 
only  for  a  few  days.  We  are  happily  exempt  from 
droughts  and  cyclones.  White  people  can  and  do 
work  In  the  open  field  every  month  in  the  year.  All 
kinds  of  roses  grow  unprotected  In  the  open  garden 
all  the  year  and  are  often  in  full  bloom  at  Christmas. 
Grapes  are  exceptionally  fine.  Figs  are  unsurpassed 
and  strawberries  are  not  excelled  anywhere— all  of 
these  are  certain  crops  every  year.  The  Japan  fruits 
are  being  planted  and  are  succeeding  admirably 
Cows  that  are  easily  raised  give  an  abundance  of 
milk.  Any  quantity  of  fodder  can  be  produced,  but 
“our  brother  In  black’’ Is  not  by  any  means  a  howl¬ 
ing  success  as  a  milker.  The  cattle  graze  in  open 
pasture  the  whole  year.  The  winters  are  so  mild 
that  horses  and  cattle  do  fairly  well  without  shelter, 
but  when  they  are  cared  for,  do  splendidly.  We  have 
fine  schools  and  churches  of  all  denominations. 
What  can  be  the  reason  why  more  of  the  young  men 
from  the  North  and  West  seeking  homes,  do  not 
come  South,  where  the  lands  are  so  cheap,  fertile 
and  productive,  and  the  climate  so  genial?  Land  can 
be  bought  at  from  $2  to  $10  per  acre. 
A  number  of  Western  men  have  located  In  south¬ 
east  Louisiana,  and  are  engaged  In  truck  farming,  In 
which  they  are  succeeding.  A  number  of  our  small 
cotton  farmers  are  preparing  to  begin  the  cultivation 
of  vegetables  for  the  Western  markets.  The  white 
men  furnish  the  brains  and  the  colored  men  the 
muscle.  The  latter  get  about  $10  per  month  and 
rations  as  wages. 
I  am  now  well  advanced  In  years,  and  I  do  not 
know  a  single  capable,  industrious  and  temperate 
young  man  of  30  years  of  age  who  does  not  own  his 
farm.  Among  a  number  of  Instances  I  will  mention 
one.  A  few  years  ago  a  young  man,  with  a  few  hun¬ 
dred  dollars,  bought  160  acres  of  land  unimproved, 
for  $320  payable  In  one,  two  and  three  years.  The 
husband  had  a  team  and  wagon,  with  a  few  plows; 
the  wife  had  four  cows  and  a  flock  of  hens.  When 
the  titles  were  passed  the  young  wife  said  to  her 
husband: 
“  Now,  Jim,  you  use  your  money  to  build  our  cabin, 
the  crib  and  to  make  the  fences,  and  I  will  take  care 
of  the  payments  for  the  land,  which  are  $106.66  a 
year,”  and  she  did.  She  sold  from  her  cows  $1  worth 
of  butter,  and  from  her  hens  $1  worth  of  eggs  every 
week  In  our  village,  which  gave  her  $104  for  the  year, 
which  with  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  some  chickens, 
made  up  the  amount  of  the  note  each  year,  and  each 
was  paid  promptly  at  maturity. 
If  an  intelligent,  Industrious  and  capable  young 
man  cannot  earn  enough  to  buy  a  comfortable  home 
In  this  section,  he  cannot  do  it  anywhere  else  in  the 
world.  But  he  cannot  do  It  raising  cotton  at  six  or 
even  eight  cents  per  pound.  w.  F.  kerxan. 
AMONG  INDIANA  TRUCK  FARMERS. 
This  has  been  a  good  and  a  bad  year  for  the  truck 
farmer.  Incessant  rains  In  early  spring,  up  to  the 
middle  of  June,  kept  us  from  cultivating  our  crops 
and  killing  the  weeds.  Prices  for  early  truck  were 
good,  with  as  much  competition  as  there  Is  nowadays. 
Those  who  have  a  superior  article,  put  up  In  nice, 
clean  and  attractive  packages,  can  always  realize  a 
fair  price.  But  now  comes  my  tale  of  woe.  How 
are  you  going  to  get  a  good  article  ?  By  buying  good, 
reliable  seeds  from  first-class  seedsmenl  Very  well. 
I  sent  to  one  reliable  firm  In  the  State  of  New  York 
for  a  pound  of  Eclipse  beet  seed  There  are  as  many 
as  six  distinct  varieties  In  that  one  pound;  In  fact  I 
had  to  bunch  them,  each  variety  separate,  for  there 
were  long  ones  and  short  ones,  white  ones  and  pale- 
red.  This  may  have  been  all  right,  but  my  customers 
complained  that,  before  they  were  separated,  they 
would  cook  unevenly.  The  same  firm  furnished  me  (I 
paying  them  75  cents  extra  per  pound)  “fine  extra 
selected  Yellow  Danvers  onion  seed.”  It  proved  to  be 
a  mess  of  all  descriptions  of  onions,  In  fact  a  fraud! 
I  wrote  them  about  It.  They  say  they  are  sorry  and 
wish  I  would  send  them  a  sample  of  the  seeds,  so 
that  they  could  test  them  as  to  purity.  The  Idea  of 
a  man  buying  seeds  enough  at  the  start  for  pure, 
high-class  seeds,  paying  extra  price,  to  be  tested 
afterward  1  Now,  mind  you,  this  thing  was  done  by  a 
first-class  seeds  bouse  In  New  York  State.  Another 
first-class.  In  fact,  tony  house  In  the  city  of  New 
York  sold  me  pure  l’rlzetaker  onion  seeds,  and  what  a 
variety  they  are!  You  ought  to  see  them,  red  and 
white  and  blue,  but  few  genuine  Prlzetakers.  The 
same  firm  sold  me  an  extra-early,  selected  strain  of 
Jersey  Wakefield  cabbage.  Well,  If  nothing  happens 
and  I  can  successfully  winter  some  of  them,  I  think 
I  shall  send  a  hundred  or  so  to  the  Columbian  Expo¬ 
sition.  By  that  time  they  may  be  20  or  more  feet 
high,  and  may  have  plums,  pears  or  apples  on  them. 
Fully  one-half  of  the  plants  from  that  fine,  selected 
seed  made  nothing;  the  plants  had  no  heart  In  them. 
Seed  of  the  same  kind  of  cabbage  bought  from  a 
firm  at  Columbus,  O.,  for  one-half  the  cost,  headed 
100  per  cent.  Now,  what  is  a  person  going  to  do  about 
such  things?  If  “  reliable  ”  firms  are  frauds,  what 
can  you  expect  of  firms  already  under  ban  ?  I  think 
that  seed  houses  ought  to  be  held  responsible  when 
they  advertise  their  seeds  as  extraordinarily  good 
and  pure  seeds.  Otherwise  I  am  well  pleased  with 
the  results  so  far  this  year.  My  peas — Burpee’s  Ex¬ 
tra  Early— did  very  well.  The  seed  was  good  and 
pure;  prices  were  good,  and  the  yield  also.  Of  Irish 
potatoes— early  kinds— I  have  no  complaints  to  make. 
I  sent  to  New  York  State  for  my  Early  Ohios  and 
Queens;  Puritans  and  Pearl  of  Savoys  I  had  of  my 
own.  I  fertilized  last  fall  at  the  rate  of  60  two-horse 
wagon  loads  of  stable  manure  per  acre;  broke  the 
ground  last  fall  and  rebroke  this  spring,  applied  at 
the  time  of  planting  at  the  rate  of  600  pounds  of  Pow¬ 
ell’s  potato  fertilizer;  also,  on  another  plot,  that  much 
of  Rau’s  potato  fertilizer.  I  have  not  dug  them,  but 
they  are  grand,  In  fact,  too  big  for  any  use.  The  exper¬ 
iment  of  bagging  tomatoes  Is  a  decided  success  with 
me.  I  had  ripe  400  or  Ponderosas  three  weeks  ago, 
some  specimens  weighing  2 \i  pounds.  I  am  also  try¬ 
ing  the  New  Celery  Culture.  I  am  using  old  hotbeds, 
crowding  good  stalking  plants  as  close  as  possible, 
and  have  a  good  chance  to  flood  them  whenever 
needed;  will  report  later.  But,  by  the  way,  I  am 
sorry  to  report  that  my  Henderson  Limas  are  In¬ 
clined  to  go  back  to  their  first  love— vlnlng.  Has  any¬ 
body  else  met  with  the  same  experience  ?  max.

ACHROMATIC  TELESCOPE. 
Few  thing's  are  more  interesting'  or 
useful  in  both  leisure  and  busy  moments 
in  the  country  than  a  good  telescope,  or 
harder  to  find.  We 
believe  that  we  have 
in  this  a  thoroughly 
good  telescope  that 
we  can  offer  to  our 
subscribers  in  confi¬ 
dence  that  it  will  give 
satisfaction.  When 
extended  it  is  over  16 
inches,  and,  when 
closed,  6)4  inches  in 
length.  On  a  clear 
day  you  can  distinctly 
see  time  on  a  tower 
three  miles  away. 
The  moons  of  Jupiter 
can  be  seen  with  it. 
The  telescope  tubes 
are  made  from  heavy 
polished  brass ;  the 
body  is  covered  with
