Heavy  rains  In  South  Dakota  have  effectually  ex¬ 
tinguished  the  fearful  prairie  fires  which  have  been 
raging  there. 
The  golden  rod,  which  grows  wild  so  freely,  is  cul¬ 
tivated  In  Central  Park,  New  York,  and  persuaded  to 
grow  six  feet  high. 
A  new  agreement  between  Chill  and  Peru  settles 
the  differences  concerning  the  guano  beds.  The 
agreement  has  to  be  ratified  by  the  Chilian  Congress. 
It  Is  claimed  by  those  engaged  In  agitating  the 
road  question  In  Tennessee  that  bad  roads  cause  the 
farmers  of  that  State  a  direct  loss  of  $7,000,000  an¬ 
nually. 
The  drought  In  South  Russia  has  been  broken  by 
copious  rains  in  the  southern  provinces  during  the 
middle  of  the  week.  There  Is  now  hope  of  saving 
the  winter  crops. 
Ex-President  Adams,  of  Cornell  University,  says 
that,  despite  its  small  numbers,  the  class  In  agri¬ 
culture  has  produced  more  men  of  note  than  any 
other  In  the  institution. 
Exports  of  breadstuffs  from  the  United  States  in 
September  were  of  the  value  of  $17,305,082.  For  the 
nine  months  ended  September  30,  $183,545,005;  for  the 
same  period  In  1891,  $145,055,129. 
A  year  ago,  planter  Wolf,  of  Knoxville,  Ark.,  had 
an  arm  pulled  off  while  showing  a  negro  how  to 
operate  a  cotton  gin.  The  other  day  he  was  instruct¬ 
ing  another  negro,  and  lost  his  other  arm. 
Farmers  In  Johnson  County,  Mo.,  are  complaining 
of  the  number  of  grasshoppers  that  are  doing  great 
damage  to  the  late  corn  and  new  wheat  which  Is  just 
coming  up.  Hundreds  of  acres  of  wheat  have  already 
been  destroyed. 
Governor  Fifer  of  Illinois,  has  issued  a  proclama¬ 
tion  making  October  21,  Columbus  Day.  (new  style) 
a  public  holiday,  and  calling  upon  the  people  to  ob¬ 
serve  it  by  abstaining  from  business  and  holding  ap¬ 
propriate  exercises.  New  York  has  been  celebrating 
October  12.  as  Columbus  Day  (old  style.) 
A  singular  fact  in  connection  with  the  effort  made 
through  the  State  Board  of  Agriculture  to  find  pur¬ 
chasers  for  the  “  abandoned  farms  ”  in  Massachu¬ 
setts  Is  that  not  a  single  sale  has  been  made  so  far 
for  the  establishment  of  a  summer  home;  all  have 
been  made  to  those  who  intend  to  go  Into  farming  or 
gardening. 
The  shipments  of  Alraeria  (Spanish)  grapes  are 
about  over,  and  the  quantity  still  available  for 
American  shipments  will  not  exceed  20,000  barrels. 
There  are  now  In  transit  71,000  barrels,  which,  with 
20,000  to  follow,  would  make  the  total  season’s  ship¬ 
ments  to  America  only  91,000  barrels.  The  shipments 
to  America  last  season  were  174,000  barrels,  and  two 
years  ago  247,000. 
So  far  this  season  nearly  90,000  head  of  cattle  have 
been  shipped  from  Montreal,  Canada,  to  Great 
Britain.  Out  of  this  total  only  120  head  were  lost  on 
the  passage,  or  a  percentage  of  one-filth  of  one 
of  the  shipments.  This  is  considered  to  be  a 
favorable  showing,  and  to  speak  well  for  the  present 
regulations  regarding  the  shipment  of  cattle,  and 
their  enforcement. 
A  French  perfumer  has  been  making  tests  of  Cali¬ 
fornia  roses  and  discovered  that  they  possessed  20  per 
cent  more  of  the  volatile  oil  than  the  French  roses. 
This  means  the  development  of  a  new  Industry 
for  California.  The  French  perfume  factories  of 
the  town  of  Grasse  alone  give  employment  to 
5,000  persons.  It  Is  said  that  50  cents  per  pound  Is 
paid  for  some  flowers. 
The  Louisiana  planters  are  greatly  dissatisfied 
with  the  ruling  prices  for  cotton  seed.  The  following 
Is  a  sample  of  resolutions  passed  by  various  conven¬ 
tions  in  different  parts  of  the  State: 
“  Be  it  resolved,  that  we  will  not  sell  our  cotton 
seed  for  less  than  $9  per  ton,  delivered  on'  the  depot 
platform,  and  we  further  pledge  ourselves  to  pay 
our  tenants  the  above  stipulated  price  for  their  cot¬ 
ton  seed  and  use  the  same  for  a  fertilizer,  unless  we 
can  sell  at  $9  per  ton,  as  per  above.” 
The  management  of  the  Ohio  State  University 
Farm,  which  has  been  conducted  by  the  Ohio  Agri¬ 
cultural  Experiment  Station  during  the  past  five 
years,  has  been  again  undertaken  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  University.  The  farm  has  been 
placed  In  the  direct  charge  of  the  Professor  of  Agri¬ 
culture.  while  the  horticultural  work  Is  In  the  hands 
of  the  Professor  of  Horticulture.  Mr.  Frankiln  P. 
Stump,  a  recent  graduate  of  the  course  in  agricul¬ 
ture,  has  been  appointed  foreman  of  the  farm.  Mr. 
W.  S.  Turner,  formerly  with  the  horticultural  de¬ 
partment  of  the  Experiment  Station,  has  been  ap¬ 
pointed  foreman  of  the  gardens. 
The  thing  which  more  even  than  the  cholera 
scare,  excited  the  interest  of  Europe  early  in  the 
week,  was  the  race  between  a  body  of  German  and 
another  of  Austrian  cavalrymen  from  Berlin  to 
Vienna,  and  vice  versa.  The  Germans  won  second 
and  fourth  places,  and  the  Austrians  the  other  12 
best.  The  majority  of  the  German  horses  staggered 
past  the  finish  post  in  Vienna  ruined  for  further  ser¬ 
vice  of  any  kind,  and  many  of  them  have  died;  while 
the  majority  of  the  Austrian  horses  were  in  fairly 
good  condition  on  their  arrival  at  Berlin,  though 
some  have  died  since  then.  The  men  could  either 
ride  the  whole  way  or  relieve  the  horses  by  traveling 
a  part  on  foot.  The  Austrians  treated  their  horses 
with  much  better  veterinarian  skill  than  the  Ger¬ 
mans,  and  Emperor  William  has  ordered  an  Investi¬ 
gation  to  be  made  of  the  different  methods  of  han¬ 
dling  horses.  As  to  the  origin  of  the  animals,  of  the 
109  German  entries,  nine  were  English  thorough¬ 
breds  or  hunter  stock,  14  were  English  half-breeds, 
five  were  Hungarian,  and  one  was  Russian.  The  rest 
were  bred  In  Germany,  most  of  them  with  strains  of 
English  blood  on  the  side  of  the  sire  or  dam.  Among 
the  121  Austrian  horses  there  was  not  a  single  thor¬ 
oughbred.  Eight  of  them  had  strains  of  good  Eng¬ 
lish  blood.  Forty-eight  were  bred  In  Austria-Hun¬ 
gary,  many  by  Imported  English  sires.  One  was  by  a 
Cossack  sire.  Another,  by  an  Arab  sire  out  of  an 
English  thoroughbred  mare,  was  bred  in  Russian 
Poland.  One  was  a  pure  Arab.  Sixty  were  of  un¬ 
known  pedigree.  The  thoroujghbrvdo  gave  least  sat¬ 
isfaction. 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
There  are  no  indications  of  weakness  In  the  cheese 
market,  and  holders  are  firm  in  their  demands. 
Potatoes  are  firm  with  an  upward  tendency.  The 
crop  Is  short  beyond  a  doubt,  and  good  prices  may 
be  confidently  relied  on. 
Butter  still  holds  its  own,  having  got  back  to  the 
point  it  occupied  before  the  recent  little  drop  in 
prices.  The  demand  for  the  better  grades  Is  very 
g00(j_u,  is  only  the  refuse  and  lower  grades  that  are 
dull. 
According  to  a  number  of  early  vintage  reports, 
which  have  been  collected  by  the  Wine  Trade  Re¬ 
view,  this  will  not  be  a  good  wine  year,  so  far  as 
quantity  is  concerned,  although  the  product  prom¬ 
ises  to  be  of  good  quality. 
A  despatch  from  Chicago  says  there  is  a  growing 
feeling  among  the  large  traders  and  capitalists  that 
wheat  and  corn  are  quite  low  In  view  of  last  year  s 
crop  of  food  products.  If  “  Beerbohm  ”  is  correct  In 
Its  estimate,  the  wheat  crop  of  the  world  Is  about 
70,000,000  bushels  less  than  last  year.  Europe  had  an 
advance  in  her  rye  crop,  but  not  sufficient  to  offset  the 
loss  In  wheat,  potatoes  and  other  food  products. 
Still  from  the  way  the  farmers  are  selling  up  in  ihe 
Northwest,  it  is  probable  that  a  great  many  of  them 
will  sell  themselves  so  short  that  they  will  be  obliged 
to  buy  wheat  for  seed  next  spring. 
Growers  report  that  the  crop  of  California  almonds 
and  walnuts  will  be  large  this  year,  owing  to  the 
number  of  new  orchards  which  are  coming  Into  bear¬ 
ing  all  over  the  State.  With  an  increase  of  acreage 
planted  yearly  it  Is  a  difficult  matter  to  estimate  the 
yield,  but  experts  say  that  It  Is  safe  to  add  anywhere 
from  10  to  15  per  cent  to  the  yield  of  the  preceding 
year,  which  was  estimated  at  3,000,000  pounds,  or 
about  150  car  loads,  the  greater  portion  of  which 
found  their  way  East.  The  number  of  pounds  shipped 
East  this  year  will  exceed  last  year’s  shipments, 
almonds  being  In  good  demand  owing  to  a  poor  crop 
in  Europe.  Quotations  at  present  are  as  follows: 
Soft  shells  12)4  to  13  cents  per  pound;  paper  shell 
from  13  to  15  cents  per  pound;  hard  shell  from  five  to 
six  cents,  and  standards  from  10  to  11  cents  per 
pound. 
The  latest  reports  from  the  Northwest,  In  spite  of 
previous  booming  announcements,  put  the  crop  of 
wheat  In  Minnesota  and  the  two  Dakotas  at  only  100 
to  110  million  bushels.  This  would  be  50  to  00  million 
bushels  less  than  last  year’s  crop,  but,  as  that  was 
phenomenal,  this  Is  about  the  average.  Farmers 
are  rushing  wheat  to  market  In  a  wild  way,  though 
the  prices  are  very  unsatisfactory.  At  Minneapolis, 
the  largest  primary  market  In  the  country,  the  De¬ 
cember  option  is  72)4  cents,  against  85  to  90  a  year 
ago.  Corn  good,  oats  short.  Burley  and  flax  fair. 
From  St.  Louis  telegrams  say  that  three  weeks  of 
drought  put  the  next  wheat  crop  In  a  critical  condi¬ 
tion.  Still,  as  the  “  visible  supply  ”  is  far  in  excess 
of  last  year’s,  prices  are  depressed;  yet  the  receipts 
have  been  enormous.  The  government  estimates 
Intimate  that  the  corn  crop  will  bo  1,500,000  bushels, 
and  no  danger  Is  anticipated. 
The  final  harvest  estimates  of  the  crops  of  Great 
Britain  published  October  11,  do  not  on  their  face 
disclose  the  exact  extent  of  the  harvest,  although 
all  materials  are  at  hand  for  such  an  estimate.  The 
Times  gives  an  average  yield  per  acre  in  each 
county  for  seven  years  1885  to  1891-  and  also  the 
percentage  of  this  yield  grown  this  year  in  euch 
county  by  taking  the  average  for  each  yield.  The 
yield  is  found  to  be  24.1  bushels  per  acre  for  England, 
23  bushels  for  Wales,  33.5  bushels  per  acre  for  Scot¬ 
land,  and  29  bushels  per  acre  for  Ireland,  a  general 
average  under  2i)4  bushels  per  acre  on  the  2,299, OuO 
acres  given  In  the  official  returns  as  being  laid  to 
wheat  this  year  In  Great  Britain.  Ireland  and  the 
Channel  Islands.  This  indicates  a  total  wheat  crop 
of  56.325.500  bushels,  against  74.743.700  bushels  last 
year.  The  estimates  as  printed  vary  somewhat  from 
these  figures,  as  averages  for  euch  division  are 
arrived  at  by  adding  the  averages  for  the  different 
counties  and  dividing  by  the  number  of  counties,  an 
obviously  incorrect  method,  as  one  county  may  pro¬ 
duce  50  times  as  much  wheat  as  another.  At  least 
160,000,000  bushels  of  wheat  must  be  imported  to  meet 
home  consumption  during  the  next  12  months.  Very 
poor  prices  are  being  realized  for  home-grown 
wheat,  as  the  quality  Is  exceptionally  Dad.

MILK. 
The  total  dally  supply  for  the  week  has  been  19,489
