DELAY  IN  THE  MAILS. 
It  now  transpires  that  many  pub¬ 
lishers  have  suffered  with  The  Rural 
New-Yorker  by  delays  of  several  days  in 
the  mails  en  route  from  New  York  city. 
Proper  representations  in  the  matter  have 
been  made  to  the  Postmaster  and  to  the 
authorities  in  Washington,  and  we 
trust  that  the  detentions  will  soon  cease. 
Under  the  circumstances  we  hope  that 
our  subscribers  who  have  suffered  with 
us  for  these  delays  will  also  try  to  have 
patience  with  us,  resting  assured  that  we 
shall  bring  every  possible  pressure  to 
bear  to  have  the  evil  remedied. 
REMITTANCES  ARE  ACKNOWLEDGED, 
for  subscriptions,  by  change  of  the  date 
labels  on  the  paper.  At  this  season, 
however,  it  is  often  impossible  to  get  the 
changes  made  under  two  or  three  weeks, 
because  of  the  many  hundreds  coming  in 
daily.  Remittances  for  clubs  are  also 
acknowledged  to  the  sender  by  postal 
card  in  the  return  mail. 
THE  “  SPECIALS.” 
The  new  subscriptions  are  coming  in 
encouragingly,  but  still  the  big  “special” 
premiums  await  being  “  called”  by  their 
fortunate  winners.  We  know  that  some 
of  these  are  being  vigorously  worked  for 
by  enterprising  farmers  who  see  that  in 
this  work  they  are  pretty  certain  of  get¬ 
ting  well  paid  for  their  time.  Indeed, 
the  value  of  these  “  specials  ”  in  many 
cases  is  more  tlian  the  total  amount  of 
money  to  he  paid  by  the  club  for  subscriptions 
would  amount  to  !  And,  in  addition,  the 
winner  of  the  “  specials  ”  also  has  a  share 
in  the  $2,000  cash  to  be  divided  among 
the  club  raisers.  Sure  winter  wages  in 
this  work!  *  #  * 
Always  remember  that  a  club  can  be 
added  to  at  any  time. 
YOUR  SUBSCRIPTION  HAS  EXPIRED! 
your  subscription  has  expired  it 
will  be  indicated  by  the  date  on  the 
address  label.  For  example,  a  label  as 
follows : 
John  Smith,  31192, 
means  that  Mr.  John  Smith’s  subscrip¬ 
tion  is  paid  to  the  end  of  December,  and 
that  his  renewal  subscription  for  the 
year  to  come  should  be  forwarded  soon. 
If  the  label  reads, 
John  Smith,  5|92, 
it  indicates  that  the  time  his  subscription 
has  been  paid  for  expired  on  November  5, 
and  the  renewal  is  past  due. 
THE  PREMIUMS  mentioned  in  the  issue 
of  December  17  may  be  secured  at  any 
time,  even  if  your  subscription  for  1893 
has  already  been  paid.  For  example:  in 
case  of  an  article  that  you  want  which 
calls  for  “  a  renewal  and  a  new  subscrip¬ 
tion”  and  a  certain  amount  of  money,  if 
your  renewal  has  already  been  sent  in, 
you  have  only  to  substitute  a  new  sub¬ 
scription  for  your  own  ;  that  is,  send  in 
two  new  subscriptions  and  the  amount 
of  money  named,  to  secure  the  premium 
article  named;  and  so  on  for  any  of  the 
articles  in  the  list.  Many  of  our  sub¬ 
scribers  thus  obtain  some  valuable,  use¬ 
ful  goods  at  the  lowest  possible  cost. 
For  6  cts.  postage  and  addresses  of  ten  friends,  the 
Housekeeper's  Weekly.  14  N.  nth,  Phila.,  sends  Free  a 
supply  of  safety  cases  for  mailing  coins,  and  one  num¬ 
ber  of  that  charming  magazine.  Marion  Hakland 
is  chief  contributor. 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Some  authorities  claim  that  there  are  more  beef 
cattle  in  the  country  than  in  many  years.  Where  are 
they? 
Low  prices  for  grain  and  fodder,  and  high  prices  for 
meats  and  dairy  products,  should  greatly  encourage 
producers  of  the  latter. 
Statistics  show  the  Mexican  coffee  crop  this  year 
will  amount  to  $8,000,000,  and  agricultural  exports 
will  be  larger  than  ever. 
Ripe  Southern  tomatoes  now  sell  for  50  cents  a 
pound  in  New  York.  Hot-house  tomatoes  sell  for  $1 
a  pound  at  the  fancy  fruit  stores. 
That  there  Is  a  pretty  general  scarcity  of  hogs 
throughout  the  country  Is  evident.  That  prices  are 
higher,  and  likely  to  continue  so,  or  go  still  higher,  Is 
equally  evident, 
The  California  raisins  are  crowding  all  the  cheaper 
grades  of  foreign  ones  to  the  wall.  Some  of  the  line 
grades  of  fruit  the  dealers  claim  cannot  be  produced 
In  California. 
The  genuine  German  hares  from  the  Black  Forest 
In  Germany,  are  on  sale  in  some  of  our  uptown  game 
stores.  They  much  resemble  the  hares  which  come 
to  us  from  Canada. 
There  are  18,000,000  bushels  of  grain  In  store  at 
Duluth.  It  Is  expected  that  by  the  time  navigation 
opens  there  will  be  over  10,000,000  bushels  to  ship. 
The  elevator  capacity  Is  already  greatly  over¬ 
crowded. 
A  London  cablegram  reports  the  butter  market 
dull  and  lower,  oleomargarine  firm.  The  Imports  into 
Great  Britain  for  the  week  ending  December  10, 
1891,  were— butter  37,601  cwt. ;  margarine,  31,992  cwt. 
1892. — Butter,  39,000  cwt. ;  margarine,  30,000  cwt. 
The  price  of  milk  to  shippers  to  Philadelphia  was 
four  cents  per  quart  during  November  and  Decem¬ 
ber.  shippers  to  pay  freight.  New  York  prices  untlj 
November  15,  were  three  cents,  after  that  3 \i-  In 
Chicago  the  price  was  $1.20  per  32-quart  can,  freight 
paid  by  receiver. 
Chicago  Is  alarmed  at  the  failure  of  the  cabbage 
crop,  followed  by  a  sauerkraut  famine.  Of  sauer¬ 
kraut  the  annual  consumption  In  the  Fair  City  Is 
40,000  barrels.  The  cutting  Isn’t  one-third  this  year. 
Last  year  manufacturers  paid  $2.50  per  ton  for  cab¬ 
bage:  this  year  $10.50  per  ton.  Retailers  last  year 
paid  $2.50  for  a  30-gallon  barrel  of  sauerkraut:  this 
year  the  price  is  $7. 
Condensed  Correspondence. 
Kansas,  Junction  City,  December  16.— Ground 
covered  with  snow  for  10  days,  which  Is  favorable  to 
winter  wheat,  which,  mostly  sown  late,  has  made  but 
a  small  growth  and  was  in  danger  If  the  ground 
froze  dry.  A  light  crop  of  corn,  hence  fewer  cattle 
fed  than  usual.  Many  cattlemen  have  disposed  of 
all  their  cows,  intending  to  purchase  steer  calves  or 
yearling  steers  of  the  smaller  farmers,  or  In  the 
Kansas  City  market.  Many  Texas  cattlemen  are 
running  “steer  ranches;”  won’t  the  crop  of  calves  be 
short  some  of  these  days?  Our  farmers,  as  a  class, 
are  paying  their  debts,  and  are  extremely  cautious 
about  incurring  new  obligations.  Apples  are  scarce 
—$1.50  per  bushel  for  good  fruit,  retailed  at  50  cents

Illinois.  Plainfield,  December  9.— Winter  Is 
here;  ground  frozen  to  a  great  depth  and  partially 
covered  with  snow;  weather  comparatively  mild; 
more  fall  plowing  than  usual,  although  harder  to 
accomplish,  owing  to  lack  of  sufficient  rain  to  moisten 
the  ground.  Corn  husking  generally  finished, 
early-sown  rye  looking  well  and  stock  going  into 
winter-quarters  In  fair  condition.  Prices  low  and 
market  dull,  except  for  potatoes  and  butter.  Local 
quotations  are:  corn  35c,  oats  29-30c.,  potatoes  65,  but¬ 
ter  24-26c.  eggs  20c.  P.  H.  m.

Another  mill  has  been  started  In  Hamburg  for 
grinding  Indian  corn  exclusively. 
In  December,  1884,  wheat  was  as  low  as  now- 69J6 
cents  in  Chicago,  but  with  this  exception  It  has  never 
been  so  low.

The  New  Jersey  Dairy  Commissioner  Is  after  the 
keepers  of  swlll-fed  cows.  The  revelations  so  far 
made  afford  ample  evidence  of  the  necessity  of  such 
action. 
The  tresses  attached  to  the  heads  of  dolls  are  the 
hair  of  the  Angora  goat.  Its  product,  which  Is  con¬ 
trolled  by  an  English  syndicate,  is  said  to  be  worth 
$40,000,000  a  year. 
Some  large  towns  which  do  not  possess  such  a  de¬ 
sirable  accommodation,  are  clamoring  for  a  public 
market  where  farmers  may  sell  their  products  di¬ 
rectly  to  consumers  without  the  intervention  of 
middlemen. 
The  actual  value  of  the  silver  In  one  of  the  World’s 
Fair  souvenir  half  dollars  is  about  30  cents.  The 
coins  sell  for  a  dollar  each.  Counterfeiters  can  well 
afford  to  put  as  good  sliver  into  the  bogus  as  in  the 
good  coins.  Beware  !

Large  attendance  and  lively  discussion  at  the 
Illinois  Sheep  Breeders’  Association’s  Convention  at 
Springfield,  December  14-16,  S.  D.  Prather  of  Spring-

On  December  19,  some  United  States  marshals  and 
a  band  of  about  20  rustlers  had  a  desperate  horse¬ 
back  fight  on  the  No  Water  River  near  Wyattsvllle 
W.T.  Two  marshals  and  three  rustlers  were  killed. 
A  strong  posse  is  In  pursuit  of  the  survivors. 
A  telegram  from  San  Francisco  says:  “There  Is 
hardly  a  mill  In  California  which  isn't  Infested  by 
the  Flour  Moth,  and  all  efforts  to  get  Tid  of  it  have 
been  unsuccessful.  It  has  already  caused  losses 
aggregating  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars.” 
Charles  Haltner,  who  migrated  from  Michigan  to 
North  Dakota  in  1890,  and  started  In  as  a  “common 
laborer,”  and  soon  went  into  bonanza  farming  on 
rented  land  In  Traill,  Grand  Forks,  Nelson  and 
Gregg  counties,  has  burst  up  and  disappeared,  leav¬

Returns  received  at  Washington  show  that,  under 
the  influence  of  the  sugar  bounty,  the  production  of 
beet  sugar  in  Utah,  California  and  Nebraska  is  25,- 
282,000,  against  12,604,838  pounds  In  1891.  The  Indica¬ 
tions  are  that  the  production  of  cane  sugar  will  show 
an  Increase  of  20,000,000  pounds  over  last  year. 
The  extremely  cold  weather  and  excessive  snow 
prevailing  In  western  Kansas  this  month  has  caused 
much  suffering  among  the  settlers.  Cattle  have  been 
deprived  ot  the  grazing,  and  storms  have  been  so  ex¬ 
tensive  that  It  Is  almost  Impossible  to  supply  the 
settlers  with  sufficient  fuel  to  keep  them  warm. 
Preparations  are  busily  under  way  among  German 
and  Austrian  trotting  clubs  for  a  race  with  one  and 
two-horse  vehicles  between  Vienna  and  Berlin  on 
the  same  lines  as  the  recent  go-as-you-please  cavalry 
race.  The  special  object  of  the  contest  will  be  to  test 
the  qualities  of  various  breeds  of  horses,  notably 
Americans  and  Russians. 
Gov.  Tillman  of  South  Carolina  has  signed  a  bill 
giving  a  commission  absolute  control  of  the  railroads 
of  the  State,  to  the  Intense  Irritation  of  the  railroad 
employees.  To  a  committee  of  them  who  protested, 
he  said:  "  The  opposition  of  eight  or  ten  thousand 
railroad  employees  does  not  amount  to  a  damn  com¬ 
pared  with  the  demands  of  fifty  or  sixty  thousand 
farmers  who  desire  Its  passage.” 
Stamboul,  the  famous  trotting  stallion,  was  sold 
the  other  day  to  E.  H.  Harrlman.  a  retired  stock 
broker  of  Tuxedo,  N.  Y.,  for  $41,000,  by  the  executors 
of  the  late  owner,  Mr.  Hobart,  who  paid  $50,000  for 
him.  The  purchaser  10  minutes  later  was  offered  an 
advance  of  $3,500,  and  another  of  $9,000  within  half 
an  hour,  but  refused.  It  was  thought  the  horse  would
