CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE. 
Montclair, N. J.—Our potato crop started out 
well enough, but has nearly failed, giving but one 
fair-sized tuber to the vine at a cost of $4 or $5 a 
bushel The peach crop Is heavy, but the fruit is not 
half size, and Is ripening prematurely. My grapes 
look bad from some as yet undetermined cause, the 
leaves dying prematurely. Drought Is probably the 
cause. Apples never poorer; pears only medium. 
SEC. E. WILLIAMS. 
Oakland County, Mich.—No rain to speak of 
since the fore part of July Late potatoes and ruta¬ 
bagas will not be one-fourth of a crop if rain does 
not come soon. Corn about half a crop, some already 
cut to save the fodder; hay a btg crop Raspberries 
and strawberries full crops, but prices low and 
scarcity of pickers. No apples to speak of Grass¬ 
hoppers nearly all over the State more than ever be¬ 
fore heard of, and they have ruined hundreds of 
acres of rutabagas entirely, and have attacked and 
Injured many other crops, especially potatoes, beans, 
and even peppermint. Altogether this will be the 
worst season the farmer has known for many years. 
p. w. j. 
Perry, N. Y.—I write to call attention to rye, 
which, to make fall pasture, should be sown without 
a day's delay. Sow It broadcast on the corn-field, 
and the corn Is not yet so large as to prevent its 
being cultivated In shallowly, using a short whlffle- 
tree. Treat fields of hill-planted beans, which may 
be pulled by hand, in the same way. Before pulling 
beans which are to be harvested with a cutter, bow 
broadcast, cut beans, set out every fifth windrow, 
run a harrow through, then set all the beans on the 
harrowed spaces, and harrow the rest of the ground. 
No Held should lie bare through the winter. I would 
not advise deep plowing of oat or barley stubble for 
rye, but would use a gaDg plow or cultivator or 
spring harrow set deep. Rye sowed for grain does 
best with me if pastured till May 15 or June 1. 1 have 
heard of Its making a good crop of grain after having 
been cut for hay, but I cannot advise. I esteem the 
grain to be worth one-third more for feed than corn. 
Bundled rye straw usually sells at about the price of 
No. 1 hay, but has been low during the last year or 
two, and New York now quotes bundles In largo 
bales $12, and tangled $ 1 ) to $10 per ton. Unfortunately 
we have no rye thrashers which bundle to enable us 
to get the higher price. A caution—rye raised for 
grain will generally get Into other crops in man¬ 
ure, etc. H. D. T. 
Nortii Truro. Mass.—I t has been an exceed¬ 
ingly wet season, except durlngashort spell In June. 
Some weeks ago, In answering my queries in regard 
look dry. Some damage to fruits, etc., by the high 
winds. 
Chautauqua County.—Potatoes will be a light crop; 
In some sections not more than two-thirds of an 
average. Corn seriously Injured by the drought. The 
grasshopper pest continues. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW ! 
If you don't see what you want , ask for it. 
Separators and Separated Milk.— 1. About 
how long would it take to separate the cream from 
(10 quarts of milk with a Baby hand separator? 2. Is 
It practicable to churn cream as soon as separated, 
or should it be ripened? 3. At what temperature 
should It be kept to ripen in about30hours? e. u b. 
Ans.— 1. In trials with the No. 3 Baby hand separ¬ 
ator at the Vermont Station about 400 pounds of 
milk were separated per hour at a temperature of 85 
or 80 degrees Paine’ helt. With the No. 2,287 pounds 
were separated at about the same temperature. At 
this rate. It would take about 15 minutes to separate 
the 60 quarts mentioned, with the No. 3, or about 23 
or 24 minutes with the No. 2. The manufacturers 
claim a capacity slightly above this 2. Yes. or a 
butter accumulator may be attached to the separ¬ 
ator, and the process completed at the one operation. 
There Is but a limited demand, however, for sweet- 
cream butter, and for the general market, It Is best 
to ripen the cream. 3. From £0 to 60 degrees F. Is a 
good temperature, but It will probably be ready to 
churn in 24 hours. The cream should be cooled down 
to 45 degrees F. after separating. 
BOWING AL8IKE CLOVER IN THE FALL.—HOW Will 
It do to bow Alslke this fall on ground prepared as If 
for wheat, It to be the only crop on the place? The 
object Is to get a crop of hay or seed next summer. 
All the Alslke produced around here is sown in 
the spring on ground that Is In wheat or oats. I would 
not expect a crop of common Red clover from seed 
sown In the fall; for I believe the plants would win¬ 
ter-kill. -yv. T. c. 
Albion, Ind. 
Ans —We cannot speak from experience, but we 
do not believe it would succeed at all if sown as pro¬ 
posed. A number of writers have recently given 
their experiences and opinions In The R. N.-Y. as to 
the feasibility of sowing Red clover in the fall, and 
none favored it. We would expect still worse results 
from sowing Alslke In this way, but would be glad of 
the experience of any of our readers on this point. 
Any of these proposed new departures may be easily 
and cheaply tried on a small scale, and this Is really 
the only way to decide positively.

to lice on squash roots, it was asked whether I had 
tried spraying with the kerosene emulsion. No. I had 
not. I did not see how an application to the leaves 
could benefit the roots in this case. The field Is now 
looking well and setting lots of fruit, though a few 
vines wilt with the borers on hot days. No bees are 
owned In this locality, so far as I know, but each 
blossom contains from one to six bees. Many of 
them remain overnight. Each autumn stray bees 
seek shelter In our barn. Can any reader Bay any¬ 
thing of the squash as a honey plant ? 
I have been re-reading The Rural. On page 545 
we are told that the writer does not believe there is 
In the Eastern or Middle States any sentiment hos¬ 
tile to the West and South. Grant It; but the bank¬ 
ing and lending Interests are hostile to the labor In¬ 
terest wherever either is found. Of course, you will 
deny this. But your opinions are prejudiced by cus¬ 
tom and the misleading of the daily press that allows 
no thought or system favorable to the Interest of 
labor to circulate except it proves its ability to run 
the gauntlet of ridicule, slander and vilification. As 
the lending Interest Is chiefly In the East, there Is, 
practically, Eastern hostility to Western Interests.

Kla. WALTER E. TABER. 
Crops in New York.—T he following are a few of 
the most Interesting points about the principal crops 
in some counties, gleaned from the last report of the 
New York State Weather Bureau: 
Orange County.—Recent gales have blown off most 
of the apples. Not more than one-fifth of the crop 
remains. Many peach trees broken down. 
Oswego County.—The weather has been generally 
favorable for growing crops. Potatoes are turning 
green and were Improved greatly by the rain. Tree 
fruit In about the same condition and does not show 
much growth. Apples have dropped considerably; 
plums are in good condition, but rather small. Late 
potatoes will yield best. 
Madison County.—Rains were very beneficial to 
soil and some crops. Early varieties of sweet corn 
too advanced to be helped, but late will be much 
Improved; also potatoes, If blight does not strike 
them. Apples about 40 per cent of second quality; 
plums 50 per cent; grapes 100 per cent. 
Monroe County.—All crops were slightly Injured 
by the drought, but beneficial rains fell on the 24th. 
Niagara County.—No rain has fallen, and crops are 
suffering greatly. Ground Is hard and dry, and rain 
must come before seeding can be done. 
Oneida County.—Heavy rains have fallen and the 
ground is thoroughly soaked. Seeding much bene¬ 
fited. Growing crops were much refreshed. Grapes 
are doing finely. 
Onondaga County.—Much rain has fallen and 
drought effectually broken. Farmers resume plow¬ 
ing under favorable conditions. Much fruit blown 
off by recent storms. 
Delaware County.—Drought has seriously affected 
corn, potatoes, garden truck, etc. Recent rains have 
greatly Improved crops, although the high winds 
aid some damage to corn, etc. 
Dutchess County.—Apples seem abundant In val¬ 
leys, but scarce on hills; generally an average crop. 
Grape bunches are small in north, but heavy in 
south. Peaches below average. Potatoes a short 
crop. 
Erie County.—Generally no rain during the week. 
Grasshoppers destroying buckwheat and late pota¬ 
toes. Grapes are looking fine, but apples will be a 
poor crop. 
Allegany County.—Rains have been very benefi¬ 
cial to grass and potatoes; nevertheless meadows 
clover alote In the spring and get a crop the same 
season? Usually In this section it has been sown 
wltn either oats or rye. j. b. e. 
Norfolk, Conn. 
Ans.—N ot a full crop. If the land is rich, and the 
season favorable, a fair crop might be expected, 
though of course later than from seed sown the 
regular way. the previous season. If the land Is very 
weedy, the chances of success will be proportionately 
diminished. 
Plums on •• Shale Limestone ” Land.—W hat 
does The R. N.-Y. think of shale limes one land for 
plums? We have great success with plums here on 
such land. The fruit Is plump, fine and sound. 
Alpena, Mich. o, l. p. 
Ans.—F rom your last sentence, we would say that 
it Is excellent land for that fruit. Plums do not 
usually do well on light soil, though a few varieties 
do so. A strong, rich, clayey loam Is considered best, 
though we see no reason why they should not do well 
on the soil you mention. You certainly have good 
proof of it In the results so far. 
Live Stock Exhibits at Chicago.—W hen do the 
exhibits of sheep and hogs occur at the Chicago or 
World's Fair? a subscriber. 
Ans.—F rom September 25 to October 14. The other 
live stock exhibits will be as follows: cattle, horses, 
etc.. August 21 to September 9, now in progress. 
Poultry and fat stock, October 16 to 28. Dogs, Sep¬ 
tember 19 to 22. 
Onion Sets.—I am trying onion raising this year. 
Part of the land was thin, which, combined with dry 
weather, has made many of the onions from the size 
of a pea to that of a hazel-nut or filbert. Now, If 
these small onions are planted next year, will they 
make large onions ? j. m. d. 
Odell. O. 
ANS.—If the little onions do not exceed half an 
Inch In diameter, you have a beau lful crop of onion 
sets such as market gardeners use for growing their 
crops of early onions. If larger than that, they are 
likely to go to seed. The best size Is about that of a 
pea. They should be carefully dried and stored 
where the atmosphere is dry and the temperature 
low, even close to the freezing point. These sets are 
usually grown on poor land, and forced to a small 
size by thick sowing. If you don’t care for them your¬ 
self, perhaps you can sell them to some market gar¬ 
dener. If they are too large for these, they will do 
for plckllr g onions. 
Grades of Hay.—W hat are the grades of hay re¬ 
cently adopted by the New York Produce Exchange, 
and mentioned in a recent issue of The R. N.-Y. ? 
We* ant to know, you know, so as to give the dealers 
what they want, if possible. L. r. f. 
AN$.—The grades established are as follows: 
Prime Timothy hay shall be pure Timothy properly 
cured, bright, natural color, sound and well baled. 
No. 1 hay shall be Timothy, not more than one- 
quarter (*) mixed with other tame grasses, properly 
cured, bright color, sweet, sound and well baled 
No. 2 hay shall Include all Timothy not good 
enough for No. 1 hay, proportionately mixed with 
other tame grasses, sweet, sound and well baled. 
No. 3 hay shall Include all hay not good enough for 
other grades not over one-third (*) clover, but may 
be natural meadow free from wild or bog, sweet, 
sound and well baled. 
Clover mixed hay shall include all hay containing 
not over two-thirds (%) clover and one-third (*) 
Timothy, properly cured, sweet, sound and well 
baled. 
Clover hay shall be medium grown, properly cured, 
good color, sweet, sound and well baled. 
No-grade, or rejected hay. shall Include all hay 
badly cured, musty, stained, or in any way un¬ 
sound.
