Crop and Market Notes-Continued. 
bers of 4,000,000 acres, or 76,000,000 acres against 
72,000,000 last year. 
Long Island potatoes have been plentiful during 
the past few days. The crop promises to be large 
and fine. 
India ranks third among the countries of the world 
for wheat production. Its total crop last year was 
208.001,000 bushels. 
The condition of spring wheat Is 68.4, against 88 In 
June and 74.1 in July, 1893. The fall since last report 
Is nearly 20 points. 
The condition of oats has declined a little over 
nine points since June report, being 77.7, against 87 
last month, and 88.8 for the month of July, 1893. 
The wheat crop in Great Britain is reported to bo a 
full average as to yield, but the acreage has fallen 
off materially. This will improve the demand for 
Imported wheat. 
The western New York grape growers are again 
agltatlrgthe subject of organization with the pur¬ 
pose of protecting their interests. The way to organ¬ 
ize Is to organize—not talk. 
The Department of Agriculture crop report for 
July gives the following averages: Corn 95, winter 
wheat 83.9, spring wheat 68.4, all wheat 79.3; oats 
77.7; winter rye 93.9, spring rye 81.7, all rye 87; barley 
76,8; rice 91.1; potatoes 92; tobacco 81. 
Chase County, Kan.—B uilding stone, cattle, hugs 
and horses are the shipping products of this county. 
Beef cattle take the lead of everything else. Our 
bottoms are one vast corn Held, but little small 
grain Is raised. Considerable Alfalfa has been sown 
during the past three years. For myself I raise corn 
and hay principally, feed about all I raise and often 
buy corn. Short-horn cattle are my hobby. I am 
not a scientific farmer, but might be considered a 
close observer. A New York State correspondent of 
The K. N.-Y. claims that his land will raiefe more 
bushels of corn to the acre than can be raised in the 
West. It may possibly be that It will, but Livingston 
County (my old home) is no match for our bottoms 
here In corn. j. yf, jj.

No goods sold except in combination 
with a renewal or new subscription, or 
in advancing a subscription already paid 
in advance. Any article may be secured 
without money as a premium for new 
subscriptions. Our new cash terms to 
club-raisers are the most liberal ever 
offered by any responsible paper. Until 
July 1, new subscriptions will be re¬ 
ceived for the rest of this year for 50 
cents, and two such names count as one 
yearly on any of our offers. We have 
secured special manufacturers’ prices on 
all the goods we offer as premiums, and 
the prices, including the year’s subscrip¬ 
tion to The Rural, are less than the 
same quality-of goods can be purchased 
for at retail. Hence the purchaser gets 
goods at a discount, and the paper prac- 
ticallv free besides. The goods are all 
first class, and warranted to be as repre¬ 
sented. 
The Sherwood Steel Harness. 
We have just one set of this harness 
to offer this year for a small club. For 
all heavy work, such as plowing, barrow¬ 
ing, etc., especially in orchards, this har- 
I ness is invaluable. There are no whifiie- 
trees in the way, for none are needed. 
It requires only a small club to get this 
one. Let us hear from you at once if 
you have a team of horses. 
Mathews’ Combined Drill, 
Cultivator and Hoe. "! 
Our premiums for this season are go¬ 
ing fast; but here is one that got left. 
The Mathews’ is still in the van of use¬ 
ful implements for the garden. It is the 
only seed drill having the patent indi- 
cator for ad- 
justing the 
drill to the 
kind of seed 
with a touch 
- --- of the finger. 
There is no better or more valuable im¬ 
plement for the garden ; and this is an 
opportunity to get it for only a few 
hours’ work getting subscriptions. Don’t 
you want it ? 
A Carving Set. 
Here is an article every family needs 
three times a day, and every man knows 
how difficult it is to carve a fowl or even 
a roast without a good carving knife. 
This is a nine-inch imported Sheffield 
steel knife. We are using one just like 
it on our own table, and can recomirend 
it as first-class in every respect. Price, 
with a renewal $3.25, or with one new 
name $3. Sent for a club of 8 ; with 
steel for a club of 10 .
