The  total  receipts  of  the  Connecticut  State  Fair 
were  $12,000,  which  leaves  a  good  margin  of  profit. 
Thirteen  people  have  just  died  in  Angouleme, 
France,  from  eating  poisonous  fungi  in  mistake  for 
mushrooms. 
The  “frit"  fly  Is  blamed  by  Prof.  Buggar,  St.  Paul, 
Minn.,  for  destroying  much  wheat  in  ripening  pro¬ 
cess,  In  the  Northwest. 
The  fall  wool  market  has  opened  at  San  Angelo, 
Texas.  Seventy-five  thousand  pounds  have  been 
sold  at  prices  ranging  from  14  to  16  cents. 
Johnson,  the  boy  bicyclist,  rode  a  mile  on  his  wheel 
the  other  day  on  the  kite  track,  at  Independence, 
la..  In  1.56  3-5.  This  beats  all  trotting-horse  records 
all  to  pieces. 
The  Winnipeg  City  Council,  Board  of  Trade  and 
prominent  citizens  have  indorsed  the  single-tax 
system,  and  empowered  the  Board  of  Aldermen  to 
make  suitable,  radical  changes  In  the  mode  of  tax¬ 
ation. 
Bast  Wednesday,  September  28,  Nancy  Hanks  once 
more  beat  all  previous  trotting  records,  her  own 
included, by  trotting  a  mile  In  2.04  before  a  pneumatic- 
tired  sulky,  on  a  regulation  track  at  Terre  Haute, 
Indiana. 
A  monster  prairie  fire  has  raged  during  the  week 
through  Billings  County,  N.  D.,  supposed  to  have 
been  started  by  cattle  thieves  to  stampede  the  herds. 
A  multitude  of  cattle  and  horses  have  been  caught 
In  the  flames. 
The  Cherokee  Commission  has  opened  negotiations 
with  the  Iowa,  Comanche  and  Apache  Indians  for 
the  sale  of  their  reservations  In  Indian  Territory. 
More  good  land  to  bo  soon  thrown  open  to  settlement 
In  a  splendid  climate. 
The  Massachusetts  State  Board  of  Agriculture  are 
expecting  soon  to  issue  another  edition  of  their 
catalogue  of  abandoned  or  partially  abandoned 
farms,  the  first  edition  of  3,000  copies  and  a  second 
edition  of  1,500  copies  having  been  exhausted. 
Tobacco  growers  In  Connecticut,  Massachusetts, 
Wisconsin,  Virginia.  Kentucky  and  North  Carolina, 
regardless  of  politics,  are  strongly  In  favor  of  the 
McKinley  tariff,  so  far  as  their  own  product  is  con¬ 
cerned.  The  present  boom  In  the  weed  Is  mainly  at¬ 
tributed  to  It. 
During  a  heavy  rain  and  hall  storm  early  on  the 
morning  of  September  25  southwest  Baltimore  was 
deluged  with  peas.  Prof.  Remsen,  of  Johns  Hopkins 
University,  gives  the  plausible  explanation  that  they 
may  have  blown  in  that  direction  from  the  truck 
farms  In  the  adjoining  county. 
Accepting  the  figures  of  the  Hungarian  Minister  of 
Agriculture  as  accurate,  the  wheat  yield  of  the 
world  for  1892  is  seen  to  be  2.363,860,000  bushels,  as 
against  2,412,650,000  bushels  In  1891.  This  is  an  ap¬ 
parent  reduction  of  48,000,000  bushels,  due  mainly  to 
the  adverse  conditions  in  Russia  and  India. 
The  Yellow  River  (Hoang  Ho),  in  China,  which 
has  caused  such  terrible  devastation  to  property  and 
the  loss  of  thousands  upon  thousands  of  lives,  has 
again  overflowed  its  banks.  Twelve  towns  have  been 
Inundated  and  many  lives  lost,  and  an  enormous 
amount  of  agricultural  property  destroyed, 
The  American  Band  and  Irrigating  Canal  Company 
has  filed  articles  of  incorporation  at  Denver.  The 
capital  stock  is  $2,000,000.  The  right  to  increase  it  to 
$10,000,000  Is  reserved.  The  company  is  In  reality  a 
consolidation  of  a  large  number  of  big  concerns.  The 
principal  office  Is  to  be  In  Denver,  with  branch  offices 
In  New  York,  Bondon,  Amsterdam,  Berlin  and  such 
other  places. 
A  telegram  from  Guthrie.  Oklahoma,  on  Septem¬ 
ber  28,  says,  “  Thousands  upon  thousands  of  acres  of 
flames  are  to  be  seen  upon  the  Cherokee  Strip  to¬ 
night.  The  boomers,  becoming  enraged  at  the  slow¬ 
ness  with  which  the  cattle  were  being  removed,  have 
set  fire  to  the  gra  s,  and,  as  it  Is  very  dry.lt  burns 
with  great  rapidity.  There  is  no  possible  way  to 
check  the  lire  and  it  Is  believed  many  cattle  will 
perish.” 
The  acreage  and  production  of  barley  during  the 
present  year  in  Ontario,  Canada,  Is  officially  esti¬ 
mated  at  499,235  acres  and  13,276.586  bushels.  This  Is 
the  smallest  crop  raised  in  the  province  in  many 
years.  The  average  yearly  acreage  and  production 
during  the  past  10  years  have  been  743,245  acres  and 
19,349,251  bushels.  The  McKinley  tariff  has  caused 
the  decrease  by  practically  shutting  out  Canadian 
barley  from  the  American  markets. 
The  recent  reports  of  the  Department  of  Agricul¬ 
ture  show  that  by  far  the  heaviest  percentage  of  loss 
among  hogs  occurs  in  the  South.  Georgia  leads  with 
a  loss  of  almost  10  per  cent,  while  Alabama,  Mlssis- 
slpi  and  Arkansas  are  not  far  behind.  The  fact  is 
attributed  not  so  much  to  the  neglect  with  which  hogs 
are  treated  In  the  South,  as  to  the  greater  prevalence 
of  disease  among  them  in  hot  weather  and  hot  cli¬ 
mates.  The  life  in  the  fields  and  woods,  together 
with  grass  feed,  should  tend  to  make  Southern  hogs 
healthier  than  Northern  corn-fed  animals. 
Peter  Dlllman,  a  27-vear-old  Prussian,  died  in  a 
Brooklyn  hospital  the  other  day  after  a  week  of  In¬ 
tense  suffering  from  glanders.  He  had  been  em¬ 
ployed  on  Barren  Island,  where  the  city  dumps  dead 
animals,  and  among  them  was  a  glandered  horse 
which  Dlllman  skinned.  He  contracted  the  disease 
through  a  small,  insignificant  sore  on  one  hand,  and 
had  suffered  for  some  time  before  seeking  hospital 
aid.  From  the  first,  of  course,  there  was  no  hope  of 
recovery.  All  glandered  horses  should  be  killed  and 
buried  deep  as  soon  as  the  disease  Is  discovered. 
A  large  meeting  of  manufacturers  and  farmers  was 
held  In  Rouen  the  other  day  to  protest  against  modi¬ 
fying  the  French  tariff.  A  resolution  was  passed 
urging  Parliament  to  remain  firm  against  proposals 
of  reduction,  as  the  imports  had  increased  and  ex¬ 
ports  has  decreased,  and,  as  economic  concessions 
had  failed  to  secure  the  friendship  of  the  foreign 
States  benefiting  from  them.  Bike  all  the  European 
farmers,  those  of  France  are  strongly  In  favor  of 
protection  for  home-raised  agricultural  products 
against  competition  with  those  from  this  and  other 
foreign  countries. 
The  Duke  of  Sutherland,  who  died  recently  at 
Dunrobln  Castle,  Scotland,  well  known  In  this  coun¬ 
try  from  the  fact  of  Ills  having  purchased  an  orange 
grove  In  Florida  three  or  four  years  ago,  was  the 
possessor  of  a  huge  estate  of  1,176,848  acres,  with  a 
rental  of  $325,600.  He  was  a  scientific  and  ardent 
agriculturist  and  managed  his  estates  on  the  broad¬ 
est  humanitarian  and  at  the  same  time  most  scien¬ 
tific  principles.  The  population  of  the  Duke’s  estate, 
as  taken  a  few  years  since,  was  nearly  24,000.  In  order 
to  satisfactorily  manage  the  estate.  It  was  divided 
into  three  districts,  each  under  a  superintendent, 
who  communicated  with  the  Duke  through  a  general 
agent 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Cheese  Is  doing  very  well,  though  the  demand  is 
dull  at  present.  The  prices  are  very  well  maintained. 
Unless  butter  braces  up  a  little,  the  <  ffect  on  cheese 
will  not  be  good. 
The  butter  market  has  been  showing  signs  of  weak¬ 
ness.  It  Is  evident  that  the  hog  butter  men  are  get¬ 
ting  In  their  work  in  various  parts  of  the  country, 
swindling  consumers  and  driving  honest  goods  out  of 
the  market. 
There  are,  here  and  there  over  the  country,  stupid 
fruit  growers,  who  persist  In  sending  fruit  to  the 
commission  men,  so  poor  in  quality  that  it  will  not 
more  than  pay  for  the  freight.  One  dealer  has  a  lot 
of  18  barrels  of  apples  and  so  far  the  best  offer  he 
has  had  is  $5  for  the  lot.  They  would  have  been 
worth  more  than  that  to  feed  to  cattle  or  swine. 
It  Is  pleasant  to  note  that  Savoy  cabbage  seems  to 
be  constantly  In  our  markets  nowadays,  and  is  grad¬ 
ually  supplanting  the  coarser  kinds  among  dealers 
who  cater  to  the  best  trade.  Whole  loads  of  It  are 
frequently  seen  In  the  market  place  near  West 
Washington  market,  and  Its  pretty,  crinkly  heads 
adorn  almost  all  the  best  stands  throughout  the 
city. 
Telegrams  from  the  following  States  give  the  fol¬ 
lowing  Information  as  to  cotton.  South  Carolina: 
Crop  In  fair  condition;  quality  good,  yield  15per  cent 
below  last  year’s.  Virginia  ;  Only  a  few  southern 
counties  produce  any.  Acreage  25  per  cent  less  than 
last  year’s— about  two-thirds  of  a  crop.  Georgia  : 
Yield  from  half  to  a  trifle  more  of  an  average.  North 
Carolina:  Owing  to  decrease  In  acreage  and  In  the 
use  of  fertilizers  as  well  as  to  bad  weather  of  late, 
the  yield  will  probably  be  25  per  cent  less  than  last 
year.  Alabama  :  Decrease  of  20  per  cent  In  crop. 
Texas:  Decrease  In  acreage  from  20  to  23  per  cent; 
estimates  of  yield  range  from  1,650,000  to  2,000.000 
bales.  Upwards  of  78,000,000  more  bushels  of  corn 
have  probably  been  raised  in  the  South  this  year 
than  last.  This  will  curtail  to  that  extent  the  de¬ 
mand  for  Western  corn  south  of  Mason  and  Dixon’s 
line.  South  Carolina:  A  late  downpour  has  caused 
almost  Incalculable  damage  to  the  crop.  Drought 
and  rust  are  also  playing  havoc.  The  July  estimates 
should  be  reduced  from  25  to  20  per  cent.  Arkansas: 
In  the  lowlands  cotton  is  growing  all  to  stalks  with 
few  bolls.  The  army  worm  too  Is  Injuring  It.
