anxious to make himself solid with the farmer.: as

The values of the exports of cotton from the 
United States during the month of June, 1893, and 
during the 10months ended June 30, 1893, compared 
with similar exports during the corresponding per¬ 
iods of the preceding vear, were as follows: June, 
1893,10,856,165; June, 1892, $7,790,988; 10 months ended 
June 30, 1893, $180,177,012; 10 months ended June 30, 
1892, $250,935,398. 
It Is said that the past season witnessed the largest 
domestic rice crop ever grown, the Louisiana yield 
alone having approximated 2,0'0, r 00 bags of rough 
rice, but at the same time the lowest prices on record 
have been experienced. The previous average 
productlor of rice In Louisiana had been about 
1,000,000 bags, and nothing but low prices could have 
been exoected in a season which wit essed such an 
extraordinary increase of output. 
The Secretary of Agriculture has ordered the Bus- 
pension of the Inspection of sheep, beef and lambs 
at the abattoir of the Jacob Hold Packing Company, 
Buffalo, N. Y. This action was taken upon the re¬ 
port of an Inspector to the effect that none of the 
beef, mutton or lamb Inspected at this abattoir is 
sold to the Inter-State or foreign trade. The act of 
Congress providing for Inspection does not cover ani¬ 
mals slaughtered for local consumption within the 
State. 
At present prices in this country there can be little 
question but that a shipment of baled hay to Great 
Britain and France would be a profitable venture 
this season. The shortage In the last-named coun¬ 
try of hay and forage crops has reached such a point 
that many cattle have bad to be slaughtered, and it 
would, therefore, seem probable that the conditions 
of things now prevalent on the Continent of Europe 
will result In an Increased demand for American 
meats In the near future in addition to the present 
demand for American hay. 
Joslah M. Hubbard, Connecticut State Commis¬ 
sioner of Peach Yellows, under the new law, has 
appointed the following deputies: Hartford County, 
Hoswell A. Moore, Berlin; A. C. Sternberg, West 
Hartford; New Haven County, Dennis Fenn, Mil¬ 
ford; E. C. Warner, North Haven; J. Norris Barnes, 
Yalesvllle; Falrtleld County, George Comstock, Nor¬ 
walk; W. J. Jennings, Greens Farms; Lttchtleld 
County, Asa Welton, Plymouth: Tolland County, 
Gideon Tilllrghast, Vernon: Windham County, 
Ezra C. May, Woodstock. They are to be allowed 
$5 ptr day and expenses, and will begin the Inspec¬ 
tion of all peach orchards Immediately. They have 
power to destroy all Infected trees and the fruit. 
A bill Is now awaiting action by the British Par¬ 
liament to “ Regulate the Sale of Foreign and Colo¬ 
nial Cheese.” Its object Is to protect the public 
against the sale of foreign and colonial cheese as 
British or Irish, by providing that every person 
dealing in this commodity shall label It In capital 
letters not less than one inch square, " Foreign ” or 
“ Colonial,” as may be necessary. The bill applies 
to both the wholesale and retail trades, and the first 
offense Is to be visited with a tine not exceeding £5. 
and the second or any subsequent offense with a 
fine not exceeding £20. One clause is to the follow¬ 
ing effect: ” For the purposes of this act, any cheese 
exposed for sale and not marked ‘ Foreign ’ or 'Colo¬ 
nial'shall be presumed to be exposed for sale as 
British or Irish cheese ” 
Secretary Moehler of Kansas has Issued a state¬ 
ment saying that If conditions continue favorable, 
Kansas will have the largest corn crop In the State’s 
history, with the single exception of that of 1889, 
when the yield was 273.(00,(00 bushels from an area 
of 6,820,693 acres. For the first time since he 
became Secretary of the Board Mr. Moehler says he 
is unable accurately to estimate the corn acreage. 
He obtains his figures from county assessors, and 
their reports came In this year before farmers whose 
wheat had proved a failure had plowed their wheat 
fields and planted them i- corn. He estimates that 
the acreage will be at least 12 per cent In excess of 
that of last year, when It was 5,603,588 acres. This 
would fix the acreage for this year at 6,296,018. 
Nearly all t v e manufacturers of harvesting ma¬ 
chinery competing at Chicago are reported to have 
decided not to participate In the Held trials for which 
arrangements had been made. They say that the 
award sistem adopted has been discredited all over 
the world, and that the medals would be of no value 
to them, while the expense of competing would be 
very great; that the trials are only to be In rye, oats 
and barley, while the great crop of the world Is 
wheat; that they brought their machines to the 
Fair for exhibition only, with the understanding 
that there would be no field trials, and that they 
were given only a week’s notice, which Is not time 
enough for all of them to get their machines ready. 
Furthermore, they claim th t the place for the trials 
is not neutral ground, having been used for years by 
a Chicago house In this line as a testing farm. All 
the machines used on the farm are from this house, 
and the sentiment of the neighborhood is In its 
favor. 
A Norfolk firm reports about the peanut crop as 
follows: The entire peanut section heard from 
gives 34 per cent, or in other words, 34 replies out of 
1(10 state that about the same acreage Is planted In 
peanuts as was planted last year, 32 per cent report 
more acreage and 34 per cent say that the acreage 
Is less. Fourteen per cent report good stands, 18 
per cent fair to medium, 30 per cent poor and 38 
per cent bad. Thirty-seven per cent report favor¬ 
able planting season. 18 per cent only . air and 45 
per cent unfavorable. Forty-six per cent of the re¬ 
plies give as their opinion that If good favorable 
seasons are had on the plant from now until digging 
time, that the crop will come up to a full average. 
I lfty-four per cent say that though the season may 
be favorable It will not be an average crop. The 
fate of the crop hinges on whether or not there will 
be good favorable seasons for the growing and de-

velopment of vine and nut. Taking a review of 
these reports, we must say that the outlook for the 
coming crop Is only fair. 
The Secretary of Agriculture has during the past 
few weeks received many requests for information 
as to the extent and character of this year's forage 
crops in the United 8tates. All these communica¬ 
tions emphasize very markedly the shortage of hay 
and forage crops In Europe, and especially in France, 
and there Is every evidence that a very large foreign 
demand at remunerative prices will prevail for 
baled hay. From other sources it Is learned at the 
Department that hay Is selling In England at $15 to 
$50 a ton.

best. A veritable little bread winner.
