IN  SPITE  OF  ELECTION. 
Notwithstanding  the  absorbing  inter¬ 
est  of  election  time,  the  numerous  let¬ 
ters  from  subscribers  indicate  that  our 
“special”  and  big  cash  premium  offers 
will  be  highly  popular,  and  now  that 
election  is  over  we  expect  a  vigorous 
competition  on  the  part  of  our  readers 
for  these  most  valuable  premiums. 
We  request  that  any  subscriber  who 
contemplates  organizing  a  club  will 
please  write  us  to  that  effect,  in  order 
that  we  may  send  him  or  her  specimen 
copies,  posters,  coupons,  subscription 
blanks,  return  envelopes,  etc. 
HOW  TO  RAISE  CLUBS. 
1.  Show  The  Rural  New-Yorker  and 
American  Gardening.  You  can  honestly  say 
that  each  Is  the  best,  and  cheapest  at  the  price,  of 
any  journals  In  Its  field. 
2.  If  the  party  is  not  ready  to  subscribe 
at  once,  then  leave  a  copy  for  examination,  re¬ 
questing  that  It  be  carefully  preserved,  so  that 
none  may  be  wasted.  A  careful  examination 
usually  convinces  any  Intelligent  man  or  woman 
Interested  in  agriculture  or  horticulture  of  their 
real  value. 
3.  Then  call  a  second  time  and  get  the 
order. 
4.  Each  time,  don’t  forget  to  mention  the 
valuable  seeds  and  plants  to  which  every  sub¬ 
scriber  for  1893  is  entitled. 
5.  If  the  yearly  subscription  comes  hard, 
solicit  a  “trial”  three  months’ subscription  for 
25  cents. 
Then  call  in  a  month  or  so  and  get  the  yearly 
subscription. 
Always  bear  in  mind  that  every  club 
organizer  (1)  will  share  in  the  $2,000 
cash,  May  1;  (2)  may  win  one  of  the 
“special”  premiums,  and,  (3)  if  he  does 
not  win  a  “special”  that  he  wants,  is 
entitled  to  any  of  the  general  premiums, 
to  be  described  in  a  few  weeks  in  The 
R.  N.-Y.  So  that  in  any  case  every  club 
rai-er  for  these  journals  is  sure  to  be 
well  paid  for  his  work,  perhaps  better 
than  for  any  other  paper. 
#  #  * 
Don’t  hold  orders  for  trial  subscrip¬ 
tions,  but  send  them  along  as  fast  as  re¬ 
ceived,  so  that  we  may  send  the  paper 
promptly  to  the  subscribers.  It  looks  now 
<ts  if  that  $200  January  1,  is  going  to  be  di¬ 
vided  up  among  a  very  small  number  of 
club  raisers.  #  *  * 
If  you  will  send  us  lists  of  names  of 
your  farmer  acquaintances,  we  will  send 
to  each  one  a  copy  of  The  R.  N.-Y..  No 
matter  whether  they  be  far  or  near,  we 
will  send  a  copy  to  every  address  recom¬ 
mended  by  a  subscriber  to  The  Rural 
New-Yorker.

by  an  apple. 
After  two  days’  racing  on  the  kite  track  at  Stock- 
ton.  Cal.,  the  spectators  protested  so  strongly  that 
on  the  next  day  both  trotting  and  running  races  were 
held  on  the  regulation  course. 
A  conference  of  agricultural  delegates  from  all 
sections  of  the  United  Kingdom  Is  to  meet  shortly  to 
discuss  the  depressed  condition  of  agriculture  and 
debate  about  remedies  therefor. 
Owing  to  the  low  price  of  corn,  nearly  every  dis¬ 
tillery  In  or  near  Cincinnati  Is  about  to  start  up, 
and  others  elsewhere  will  doubtless  follow  the  ex¬ 
ample-cheap  corn,  cheap  whisky. 
J.  Malcom  Forbes,  owner  of  Nancy  Hanks  and 
Arlon,  has  made  an  offer  of  a  present  of  $6,000  for  the 
first  horse  that  will  trot  on  a  regulation  track  In  two 
minutes  during  the  next  five  years. 
A  new  variety  of  sugar  cane  of  gigantic  size  and 
very  rich  In  sugar  is  reported  from  the  Upper  Niger. 
Moreover,  It  differs  from  the  ordinary  sugar  cane  In 
possessing  seeds,  from  which  the  plant  can  be 
raised. 
The  aggregate  stock  of  wheat  at  Minneapolis  and 
Duluth  last  Tuesday  was  11,947.963  bushels,  an  in¬ 
crease  over  a  week  before  of  1.433,130  bushels.  A  year 
ago  the  total  stock  at  the  two  places  was  9,360,000 
bushels. 
The  Western  Union  Telegraph  Company  has  just 
Increased  its  stock  from  $86,200,000  to  $100,000,000.  The 
addition  is  all  “water,”  on  which  the  “  dear  public.” 
Including,  of  course,  farmers,  must  pay  heavy  ster¬ 
ling  Interest. 
Prince,  said  to  be  the  oldest  trotting  horse  in  the 
United  States,  having  been  foaled  in  the  spring  of 
1867  in  Kentucky,  died  at  Sedalia,  Mo..  Sunday  night. 
In  his  day  he  was  a  celebrated  roadster,  with  a 
record  of  2:30. 
The  flour  output  of  the  Minneapolis  mills  last 
week  was  225,000  barrels.  This  Is  once  more  the 
second  largest  run  on  record.  Direct  export  ship¬ 
ments  aggregated  95,895  barrels,  against  89,750  the 
preceding  week. 
A  telegram  from  Lincoln  says  the  Nebraska  State 
Board  of  Agriculture  reports  that  the  acreage  of 
winter  wheat  Is  enormously  Increased,  being  100 
aeres  for  every  single  acre  last  year.  Surely  this  Is 
a  gross  exaggeration. 
The  other  day  at  Stockton,  Cal.,  on  a  kite-shaped 
track,  Stamboul  beat  the  world’s  stallion  trotting 
record  In  2;08J4,  finishing  without  a  skip,  breaking 
Palo  Alto’s  record  by  one-fourtli  of  a  second,  and 
his  own  by  2j®  seconds. 
Wyoming  offers  a  bounty  of  $3  for  each  wolf  head, 
but  the  pests  have  lately  become  so  troublesome 
that  the  cattlemen  have  offered  an  additional  bounty 
of  $5  a  head.  Wolves  are  therefore  nearly  as  valu- 
ble  there  as  yearling  heifers. 
The  shipment  of  grapes  from  the  Chauiauqua  belt, 
New  York,  Is  drawing  to  a  close.  The  vintage  has 
been  an  unusually  good  one.  The  crop  In  the  town 
of  Portland  alone,  which  has  a  frontage  on  Lake 
Erie  of  about  six  miles,  Is  worth  over  $800,000. 
The  total  export  of  unwashed  wool  from  the  Ar¬ 
gentine  Republic  in  1891  was  306,141,000  pounds,  of 
which  about  one-half  went  to  France,  65,000,000 
pounds  to  Germany,  2,250,000  to  the  United  Kingdom 
and  3,500,000  to  the  United  States.  It  is  estimated 
that  the  export  of  wool  during  the  present  year  will 
reach  360,000,000  pounds. 
The  Western  Holsteln-Frlesian  Breeders’  Associa¬ 
tion  held  Its  second  annual  meeting  at  Kansas  City, 
October  26,  and  determined  to  establish  a  herd-book, 
charging  to  members  $2  for  registering  each  bull,  and 
$1  for  each  cow:  to  non-members,  $3  and  $1.50  The 
membership  fee  was  fixed  at  $10,  and  it  was  agreed  to 
hold  the  next  meeting  at  Topeka  October  18, 1893. 
According  to  official  figures,  the  Indian  wheat 
crop  for  1892  amounts  to  203,168,000  bushels.  Last 
year’s  output  was  256,704,000  bushels,  so  that  there 
has  been  a  falling  off  of  21  per  cent.  The  present  is 
the  smallest  crop  harvested  in  the  last  eight  years. 
There  really  seems  no  reason  for  the  low  price  of 
wheat  In  this  country  except  the  enormous  quantity 
hastily  dumped  on  the  markets. 
This  year  Idaho  and  Montana  lead  in  wheat  with 
crops  of  22.5  and  22  bushels  per  acre,  respectively, 
Colorado  following  with  19.1,  and  Washington  with 
18.4  bushels.  The  great  wheat  fields  of  the  Northwest, 
the  two  Dakotas,  drop  to  12.5  bushels.  Kansas  is 
reckoned  at  17  bushels,  Ultnois  and  Michigan  at  14.7, 
Pennsylvania  at  14.4,  New  York  at  14.3,  Indiana  at 
14,  Ohio  at  13.2,  California  at  12.8,  Missouri  at  11.1, 
and  Iowa  at  11.5.  Food  for  thought  here. 
The  Mexican  government  has  reduced  Import 
duties  on  cotton  20  per  cent,  and  on  hogs  and  cattle 
33  per  cent.  Duties  on  tobacco,  lard  and  some  other 
articles  are  also  reduced. 
Just  as  we  gb  to  press  a  cablegram  announces  that 
Principal  Williams,  of  Edinburg,  probably  the  hlgh- 
esl  authority  In  Great  Britain  on  the  subject,  who 
has  made  a  microscopical  examination  of  the  lungs 
ttf  one  of  the  Canadian  cattle  alleged  to  be  suffering 
from  contagious  pleuro-pneumonia,  declares  that 
the  disease  Is  broncho-pneumonia,  which  is  not  con¬ 
tagious  at  all.  The  American  veterinarian  In  London 
says  the  Deptford  animal  had  the  same  disease. 
The  great  drought  in  the  Middle  States,  and  espe¬ 
cially  in  southern  Pennsylvania,  has  been  slightly 
broken  up  by  moderate  rains  there  and  in  nearly 
all  parts  of  the  country.  In  several  sections  of  the 
Keystone  State,  water  was  sold  for  from  $  1  to  $2  a 
barrel.  Streams  and  wells  ran  dry;  railroads  had 
to  transport  water  for  their  own  use  sometimes  30 
miles  or  more,  and  all  sorts  of  live  stock  suffered 
severely.  Parts  of  Delaware  and  Maryland  were 
nearly  as  parched. 
“Rain  fakirs”  recommended  by  chief  governmental 
rain-maker  Dryenforth  are  busily  “  working  ”  New 
Mexico,  with  only  moderate  financial  success.  The 
rain-makers  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture  at 
Washington  have  lately  been  experimenting  at  night 
with  balloons  across  the  Potomac  at  Arlington  and 
Fort  Myers,  but  have  been  expelled  from  both  places 
as  nuisances  who  disturbed  the  slumbers  of  all 
within  a  radius  of  several  miles  with  their  tremen¬ 
dous  explosions  high  up  In  the  air, 
A  large  Chicago  packing  house,  from  6,000  answers 
to  inquiries,  concludes  that  on  a  basis  of  100  at  the 
same  time  last  year,  the  proportion  of  matured  bogs 
now  and  very  soon  available  is  only  77,  and  of  hogs 
available  for  late  marketing  79.  The  same  concern 
places  the  proportion  of  available  cattle  at  80  as 
compared  with  100  a  year  ago.  This  shortage,  it  in¬ 
fers,  Is  the  cause  of  the  reduction  in  the  supply  of 
hogs  In  the  markets  at  present.  Others  believe  it 
largely  due  to  the  Inducements  to  feed  the  animals 
to  a  maturer  condition  on  account  of  the  relative 
prices  of  hogs  and  corn.  In  that  case  the  hog  move¬ 
ment  in  the  near  future  Is  likely  to  be  brisker. 
W.  O.  B.  McDonough,  capitalist  of  San  Francisco, 
has  paid  $150,000  for  the  stallion  Ormond,  the  great¬ 
est  race-horse  that  has  of  late  distinguished  itself  on 
the  English  turf.  Bred  by  the  Duke  of  Westminster 
In  1883,  during  his  turf  career  he  ran  against  all  the 
best  English  and  French  horses  and  was  never  de¬ 
feated.  As  a  three-year-old  he  won  the  Derby,  the 
2,000  Guineas  and  the  St.  Leger,  the  three  greatest 
English  turf  victories.  His  total  winnings  for  three 
years  were  $143,000.  He  has  been  the  sire  of  a  large 
number  of  flrst-claBS  flyers.  A  few  years  ago  he  was 
sold  for  $60,000  to  a  gentleman  of  Buenos  Ayres  from 
whom  he  has  just  been  purchased  by  Mac  Donough. 
Great  things  are  expected  of  him  in  the  stud  in  Cal¬ 
ifornia,  though  he  has  always  been  a  “roarer.” 
Secretary  Rusk  says  that  Deptford  case  of  al¬ 
leged  contagious  pleuro-pneumonia  was  probably 
ordinary  pleuro-pneumonia  or  some  other  non- 
contagious  lung  disease.  Those  who  make  diagnoses 
of  all  kinds  of  pleuro-pneumonia  often  mistake 
one  for  the  other.  The  only  wav  to  clear  the  matter 
up  Is  to  trace  the  animals  back  to  the  farms  on  which 
they  were  raised,  and  if  no  case  of  the  contagious 
kind  existed  there  or  In  the  neighborhood,  and  they 
weren't  exposed  to  the  plague  in  transit,  the  trouble 
must  evidently  be  ordinary  pleuro-pneumonia  of 
which  there  are  three  kinds  due  to  various  causes. 
The  affected  Deptford  beast  was  from  Kentucky 
where,  according  to  the  Secretary,  no  case  of  the 
disease  has  existed  for  six  years.  The  animal  was  in 
contact  with  Its  companlous  for  29  days  before  It  was 
slaughtered,  still  It  alone  was  affected,  though  there 
was  ample  time  for  the  spread  of  the  contagion. 
Condensed  Correspondence. 
Delaware,  Dover,  October,  22.— This  has  been 
one  of  the  most  trying  seasons  ever  experienced 
by  the  farmers  of  this  State.  The  early  spring  was 
unusually  wet,  followed  by  a  summer  of  intense  heat 
and  dryness.  The  ground  has  not  been  thoroughly 
wet  over  three  times  in  this  section  since  May;  but 
little  over  half  a  crop  of  anything  has  been  grown 
and  the  almost  entire  absence  of  fruits,  combined 
with  the  ruinously  low  price  of  grain  Is  almost  more 
than  the  farmers  can  stand.  The  fall  has  been  very 
cool,  but  there  has  been  no  killing  frost  yet.  Wheat 
Is  looking  as  well  as  can  be  expected,  stock  is  still  on 
pasture,  but  fed  at  night.  A  few  have  done  husking 
but  the  bulk  of  the  crop  is  vet  to  be  husked.  Potatoes 
are  very  poor.  Corn  not  over  half  a  crop.  Not  an 
apple  to  be  seen.  A  great  amount  of  damage  is  being 
done  by  tire  in  the  timbered  sections.  Many  farmers 
are  selling  their  corn  at  36  cents;  wheat  68  and  70  ; 
potatoes  (scarce)  75  and  80  cents;  butter  25  cents, 
eggs  22.  a.  G.  s.
