Owing to the bad state of the British 
markets, exports of sheep from Montreal 
have ceased with the exception of a few 
small lots being sent forward to fill space 
already contracted for. The number ex¬ 
ported this season will not reach 30,000, 
white 40,000 were exported last year. 
The Kent County, Del., farmers’ organi¬ 
zations have prevailed upon the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Railroad to run a regular market 
train with a passenger car attached, to the 
market house In Philadelphia every Tues¬ 
day and Friday. This will save expensive 
cartage. Other sections will probably try 
to obtain similar concessions. 
A mysterious cattle disease Is reported in 
Fairfield County, Conn. The disease is a 
new one to the local veterinarians. The an¬ 
imals In each case have been in apparently 
good health until within a few minutes of 
being attacked. After death the anim ils 
swell up, but the flesh does not change color. 
A local veterinarian after Inspecting a cow 
that died of this ailment, died of blood 
poisoning. 
The first 100 ponnds of sugar made under 
the sugar bounty clause of the McKinley 
Tariff bill was shipped on August 24 from 
Chino, Cal., to the Commissioner of Inter¬ 
nal Revenue. The sugar is the product of 
the Chino Valley Beet Sugar Company of 
Chino. The Sugar Inspector for California 
has sent to the Internal Revenue Bureau, 
in a report, the information that the Chino 
Beet Sugar Company began the production 
of beet sugar on August 24. It has planted 
2 500 acres of beets and expects to produce 
5,000,000 pounds of sugar.

THE RURAL NEW-YORKER has done more to promote 
the true interests of agriculture than all the Experiment 
Stations put together.— The New York Times. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER is being 
SUED for $150,000.22 
For Protecting Farmers against Humbugs. 
Will You Help to Beat Them ? 
Many of our subscribers have volunteered to contribute $5.00 to 
$20.00 each lor the defense of these lawsuits, for which they have 
oiii most earnest thanks. But we do not ask and cannot accept help 
of that kind. AYe do ask, however, every reader who believes in 
The Rural New-Yorker and its mission, to help us extend its in¬ 
fluence into every farmer’s home. We want a million readers. Will 
you help to beat the humbugs in this way ? 
Our new special terms for this season are very attractive to both 
possible subscribers and the workers. We want only our intelligent 
readers to represent us in this work. 
We do not care for the “ trial ” subscriptions ; we lose too much 
money on them. But we make the new and special offer by which 
we will send the paper to any new yearly subscribers from receipt 
of order to January 1st. 1893. 
If you want to help, please send for our new special club rates. 
The earlier the work begins, the longer will the new subscribers 
receive the paper; 15 mouths costs no more than 12! 
THE RURAL PUBLISHING CO., Times Building, New York.
