CONTENTS OF THIS NUMBER 
shape by using: tho Eureka Self-Binder. 'Yliilo 
acknowledging both the criticism and apprecia¬ 
tion of our friend, we would remind him that, 
though the Rural is the largest illustrated jour¬ 
nal in America , we have already overcome 
nearly every obstacle to it* publication in good 
style—Including some which experienced pub¬ 
lishers declared Insurmountable, and which 
would, in their opinion, make the attempt a 
failure. Indeed, we intend to conduct the 
Him ai. so carefully, print it so well and neatly, 
and mail it so promptly and regularly, that it 
will soon have a million of subscribers—ora few 
more than some modest. New York papers, of 
moderate circulation, now claim. 
Trout Breeding. —It la stated that a Mr. Bridg¬ 
man of Bellows Falls, Vt., ‘’has several small 
ponds containing more than forty thousand 
trout, varying from six months to three years of 
age. The water is changed once in twenty-four 
hours, and the fish are fed on ground beef liver 
t wice a day at an expense of one dollar a week.” 
All of which is well,—but we beg to add that the 
hamlet of Mumford, (near AvrfU Springs,) West¬ 
ern New York, contains the finest Troutery in 
A tncrlca. The ponds arc in Spring Creek, where 
the cold, running water requires no labor in 
changing, and is always fresh, with a very uni¬ 
form temperature throughout the year. These 
ponds were illustrated and described In a former 
volume of the RuralNew-Yorkek.

No but ter in Little Falls market this week. 
We have advices from abroad thefourth week 
in July. Our Liverpool eorrosp< p mdeut says the 
demand continues to Increase, but not tn pro¬ 
portion to the arrivals; but. now that we have 
got down to prices that good cheese can retail at. 
8d. per pound, we min ex pee l. u very large and 
increasing demand. Fine factory is quoted at 
(52 to fits, per owt.; good, (10 to UJs. 
The imports into Liverpool from July 9th to 
July Kith were33.883 boxes. Total experts from 
New York to Great Britain, from May 15tli to 
July 3d, were 15(1,750 boxes. Exports from New 
York for the week ending July 27th were 44,000 
boxes. 
The general Impression in the country is that 
the lowest prices have been reached. A few 
shipments more at the Little Falls market, and 
fiietorymen will be able to hold for t lie balance 
ol the season, The woaltlier is warm and pas¬ 
tures extremely good for the season.—x. a. w.

Baltimore, Md., August 2.—Have Just re¬ 
turned from an extended tour, of business and 
pleasure combined, through Pennsylvania. New 
York, New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia. I 
have thus hftd a range over some five States, and 
am surprised to find that, while north of us they 
complain of so much rain as to seriously retard 
the fannor in his work and delay Hie maturing 
of crops, we in Maryland have had seasonable 
weather, with just sufficient rain, allowing tho 
farmers to harvest their grass and grain in 
splendid condition and to prepare their lands 
for the fail crops. Corn is maturing nicely. 
While we have been thus favored, south of us 
everything Is famishing for want ot' rain; and 
through Virginia, east of the Blue Ridge, the 
corn crop will be small Indeed, and in many 
cases entirely lost. Tobacco, though not suffer¬ 
ing as much as the corn, Bhows the effect of the 
drouth in the narrowness of tin- leaf. For from 
six to eight weeks there had been no rain in that 
section of Virginia. The people, however, are 
in good spirits, and anticipate a bright future. 
Tho election of Wai.ker lias given them confi¬ 
dence, and they feel that now is the beginning 
of a now era for the "Id Commonwealth and 
they are on the sure road to regain their old 
stains in the family of States, w. t„ u. 
Clay Grove, Lee Co., Iowa, July 2(5. —Our 
wheat crop is wonso than a failure. Fall wheat 
was injured by late frosts fully one-third, and 
those who have not got it stacked yet will have 
to lose all, and there are but few who are fortu¬ 
nate enough to have It In stack. The ineessant 
rains we have had will cause it to mold and 
sprout. There are hundreds of acres of spring 
wheat, that is not worth cutting, and could not 
be cut if it was, as tho ground is kept so soft by 
the rain that we cannot get into the fields to 
cradle,and it is useless to think of entering with 
a reaper, as many have found to their sorrow, 
who, having attempted the like, were obliged to 
cast anchor in tho mud and give tip the trial. 
The best spring wheat. 1 have examined will not 
average over five or six good grains to the head, 
and in many instances they are beginning to 
grow. The creeks, usually dry at this season of 
the year, are swelled to the size of small rivers, 
carrying bridges and fences with them in their 
mighty rush onward. Outs can never be cut, as 
they are all hlown fiat and rusted. Potatoes are 
rotting, especially those planted in flat hind. 
Corn looks well here, but in the adjoining town¬ 
ship it is not so good, having been injured by 
worms and insects when small.— j. u. l. 
THE SEASON 
[Wr. desire to receive Items concerning tho season, 
crops and crop prospect.*, with market prices of farm 
produce, from nil pnrts of tile couuiry for publica¬ 
tion under this head.—Ens. Him At. 
I’ierrcponf. Manor, Jefferson Co., iV. Y., Aug, 
A. It. has been a very wet season here. Farmers 
have mostly got. their hav ing done, and some arc 
harvesting. Crops arc good except corn.—tv. 
Walton, Delaware Co., August I.— Weather 
very cold and backward; corn late; hay good, 
but It has boon a very bad time to got It,; has 
rained almost every day. Oats late, but well 
filled; butter forty cents per pouDd.— t. a. 
Alfred Center, Y. V., Aug. -I—Spring wheat 
good; oats first rate; corn is below par owing to 
the cold, wot weather; potatoes fair crop; buck¬ 
wheat nothing extra. The hay crop, contrary 
to tho general opinion, has proved good—better 
than last year; farmers have fairly commenced 
securing it; wages $1.75 and $2 per day. Apples, 
peas and cherries quite plenty; now and then a 
few plums.— L. c. w. 
Vrllngton, Hancock Co., «„ Attg. I. Season 
1msboon very wet, but no rain for « few days; 
the prospect for summer crops begins to look 
more favorable. Corn looks bad. Wheat har¬ 
vest is over and thrashing commenced; turns Out 
well; new wheat going to market. Old wheat 
lias brought $1.15; outs largo and well filled; po¬ 
tatoes look very well; price, 75c. per bushel for 
new. Frul! plenty, such us cherries, apples, 
pears and peaches. Hay crop not more than 
half secured yet.-r>. w. 
Floy toil, Lencwcc Co., Mich., July 26. — The 
season lias been ex tremely wet, yet. crops of all 
kinds are very good, except, corn, which has 
suffered much, and thorn will be a very light 
crop. At this date the wheat in my neighbor¬ 
hood is not more than one quarter cut, for it was 
ho wet for a while that reapers could not bo 
used. The Treadwell wheat is altogether the 
best, and, as a general thing, is bright, and 
plump; whereas some other kinds have been 
very much Injured by tho rust.—p. i\ 
Milverton, Huntington t'o., Imb, July 20.— The 
season has been unusually wet; farmers have 
been much delayed with their work. Whest 
good; a larger crop harvested than ever before; 
fanners are securing It hi barns and stacks; oats 
and flax look promising; corn will not yield 
more than half an average crop ; frequent rains 
have prevented it from being properly culti¬ 
vated. A great deal of hay has been damaged 
by the wet. weather. Tho apple crop will be 
good; no poaches.— «. w. m. 
Salem, Hoanoke t'o., Vo.. July 30. — Weather 
cool and dry. No rain since first of June. Gar¬ 
den vegetables and pastures dried up. Corn is 
suffering for ruin, and promises a light crop. 
Large quantity of hay made, and all saved with¬ 
out raiu; oats ditto. The wheat crop is the 
heaviest and best, I think, I have ever seen. 
Much of tho crop lias already boon thrashed and 
marketed. Price of wheat here, $1.30; corn, 75c.; 
bacon, hog round, 22c.; butter, 25c.; eggs, 15c. 
Potato crop a failure on account of drouth. 
Cherries, and berries of all kinds abundant. 
Peach crop light. Apples abundant. Tobacco 
very backward.—s. C. c.

SATURDAY 
CHINESE LABORERS. 
Let them come. There is room enough 
and work enough for till. If they are indus¬ 
trious and frugal, practical and skilled, so 
much the better. If they couie in competi¬ 
tion with white labor, let it be so. Every 
accession of ten thousand population brings 
with its productive power a corresponding 
consumption — diversifies and builds up in¬ 
dustries in exact proportion to the habits 
and education of the ten thousand. If by a 
flood of Chinese laborers we may wash the 
idlers in eitjes into the country, and compel 
them to work the soil, it will be a good 
thing done.; hut if this army of city idlers 
continues to increase in number, we shall 
require the production of five millions of the 
Celestials to support, Ihe paupers. 
The truth is, Agriculture and Horticulture 
in this country need just such aid as the 
Chinese immigration will nflbrd. The power 
to produce is limited by the ability to culti¬ 
vate. Men do not do on the farm and in the 
orchards and gardens what needs to be done, 
for want of cheap, reliable la'hor. If the 
Chinese are going to aid ns to solve the labor 
problem here, and help us in our competi¬ 
tion with, and lo an independence of, for¬ 
eign production, by developing and utilizing 
our own abundant resources, they should bo 
encouraged to come hither, and welcomed 
upon their arrival. 
We do not, in any sense, sympathize with 
those who would exclude the Chinese from 
the pursuits and privileges of citizenship. If 
the influx of European laborers has hastened 
the development of this country, why should 
♦tot the Chinese aid in the regeneration and re¬ 
construction of a land devastated by war and 
burthened with resulting taxation ? Why 
should not every industrious, frugal man and 
woman, of whatever race or color, find 
refuge and welcome in this broad, free land, 
and labor with us to perpetuate the benefits 
which we realize from a representative 
government ? 
Wasted Powder,—Rome person at the “Farm¬ 
ers’ Cluli” undertook to lecture our i'riend 
Dragoon of the Rural Nixv- Yorker. With 
characteristic' elegance tie referred to him as 
“A reporter that can lling damaging adjectives 
niueh bettor than ho can spread manure, and 
knows Billingsgate belt f-i than ho does horticul¬ 
ture,“—and More to Ihe same effect. Alter all 
that, BRAODON did something severe he al¬ 
lowed the attack to pass ounoBeed .—American

Although Brag don heard t he paper to which 
our neighbor across the Park alludes, ho never

highly esteemed contemporary to hold it up for

The Early Rose Potato.—Wo are bound to say 
that the reports which come to us of tho pro¬ 
ductiveness and excellent. qimlityof this potato, 
from men in whom we have faith, are extrava¬ 
gant. Wc take it that lovers of the potato ore 
to revel in something os good as the good old 
Carter—which lias never yet been excelled for 
boiling by any potato that 1ms passed Ofir lips. 
— By the way, wo sec that in our report of tho 
talk about the Punch Blow potato last week at 
Fruit Growers’ Club, the types made us say that 
Mr. Powell said that “the Peach Blow potato 
is rarely or never good boiled, but is always 
good stewed." lie did not say stewed ; he said 
steamed. 
RURAL NOTES AND QUERIES 
St. Linda Farmer*’ Flub. — Emulating New 
York, St. Louis is about organizing a Furmers’ 
Club. It will be a great thing for St. Louis as it 
has been for New York—especially for stlch of 
its citizens as may have dull axes to grind. 
Our Raspberry Article.—Wo call attention to 
the article in our Pomfiloglcal Department by 
A. S. Fuller.. 1 1 . is a frank, dispassionate state¬ 
ment of the observations made during a recent 
trip to the raspberry plantations of Central and 
Western New York, and the conclusions arrived 
at by himself find Charles Downing as to Hie 
identity of certain fruits prominently before 
the public. Wi'kiunc that these statements nrc 
made dispassionately, undwith no other animus 
than a love of, and desire to promulgate, truth 
alone. Anil the same motive governs us in pub¬ 
lishing such an article. We are bound to protect 
the public, so far as we may, from impositions. 
I)ovl{cultural progress depends upon the integ¬ 
rity of horticulturists— of propagators and dis¬ 
seminators of plants and fruits. Nay, the pros¬ 
perity of these industries depends, really, upou 
tills fidelity to trut h and t lie intelligent use of it. 
Air. Fuller und Mr. Downing may make mis¬ 
takes. It would be romnrkublc if they did not 
do so. But such mistakes will uot be made from 
want of careful investigation, nor because con¬ 
scientious conclusions have not been reached. 
They, neither of them, can afford to be in error 
through any desire to do personal injury to any¬ 
body. They me incapable of it. And while the 
Rural is swift to attack humbugs and expose 
malpractices, it will be equally swift to correct 
errors, and do justice to parties whom, in its 
zeal for truth, it may have unintentionally 
wronged, whenever such is shown to be t he case. 
Send us Name* 1 Subscribers and others fre¬ 
quently apply for copies of the Rural to send to 
distant friends as specimens. If those who wish 
their friends to sec i lie paper, and thus aid In extend¬ 
ing Its circulation, will send us the name* and post- 
office addresses of such friends, near and distant, 
we will mini each a specimen of Hie enlarged and 
improved volume. Give ns tho name* and wo will 
cheerfully respond.

Lincoln Co., Ky., Ag. Fair. — The Stanford

The Sun, daily newspaper, of New York, which 
proverbially “shines for all," seems to lie com¬

horizon and slimes in all directions—perhaps too 
po w erfully for the com for 10 f politicians of bo l Ii 
parties, whom it criticises indiscriminately. It 
is evident that, if not a born journalist, Dana 
knows how to make a live, spicy, readable, com¬ 
prehensive, big paper, on a small sheet. N. B.

Textile Exposition — Meeting of the Wool

says that the attendance at the Exposition of

day. “The premiums will be awarded to-mor¬

menced. A special meeting of the Northwestern
