THE RURAL NEW-YORKER FOR 1872. 
FACTS AND PROBABILITIES. 
A FEW WORDS TO AGENTS AND SUBSCRIBERS. 
As many Agents,ami Olliers who purpose 
forming clubs, have already written us rela¬ 
tive to the subscription rates of the Rural 
New-Yorker for 1872, we take this early 
occasion to state a few Facts and Probabili¬ 
ties for the information of all interested in 
the circulation and success of this Journal. 
The first Fact is that we shall (D. V.) fur¬ 
nish the Rural New-Yorker for 1872 at 
$2.50 per single copy, and as low as $2 per 
copy in clubs of ten or more. How wc 
shall be enabled to do this will be explained 
in a future number, and in a Supplement 
which will ere long be issued and sent to our 
Club Agents and all other persons notifying 
us of their desire to become such. 
And we thiuk there is a strong Proba¬ 
bility that the changes we purpose making 
will increase the attractiveness and accept¬ 
ability, and consequent popularity and cir¬ 
culation, of the Rural New-Yorker— as 
we shall aim to manifest “Progress and 
Improvement,” in both Style and Contents, 
under the “ new departure.” 
The next Fact—or strong Probability—is 
that the Rural for 1872 will be published 
in a form more suitable for preservation 
and binding than heretofore,—in accordance 
alike with the expressed wishes of many 
subscribers and our own conviction of wliat 
will prove most acceptable. 
Another Probability is that, though our 
programme is not yet sufficiently completo 
to be announced in detail, we shnl I be enabled 
to render the Rural New-Yorker more 
popular throughout the Nation, and more 
valuable (in proportion to price) to all Its 
subscribers than ever before; — iudeed, to 
make it, even more truly than it now con- 
cededly is, the Best and Cheapest Journal of 
its Class in the World. 
And, furthermore, it is more than Proba¬ 
ble— in fact a foregone conclusion, being 
firmly resolved upon — that we shall put 
forth every proper effort which our means, 
facilities, and an experience of over a quar¬ 
ter of a century in Journalism, command, 
to redeem any and every pledge which we 
make to the publio, as m hate in every in¬ 
stance aforetime. 
Our concluding Fact (for the present) is 
that the Club Agents of the Rural New- 
Yorker (and no journal in the land 1ms 
such a numerous corps of generous, zealous 
and successful Agent-Friends) can at once 
commence making up Chibs for 1872 at only $2 
per copy .'—and at $2.50 for fifteen months, 
commencing on the 1st of October, 1871. 
And, finally, the Probability is that all 
who form Clubs for 1872 will be liberally 
rewarded for their efforts—receive “ Good 
Pay for Doing Good ”—as will be specifically 
slated in the Supplement aforementioned. 
! AMERICAN P0M0L0GICAL SOCIETY. 
No meeting in the history of the Society 
can be regarded as more important and sig¬ 
nificant than that which lias just closed at 
Richmond, V»., a report of which, in detail, 
is commenced in another column. Massa¬ 
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New 
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In¬ 
diana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne¬ 
sota, Iowa, Nebraska, California, Kansas, 
Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, 
Soutli Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Maryland 
and the District of Columbia were repre¬ 
sented by delegations and most of them by 
fruits. The utmost harmony, fraternity and 
unanimity in accomplishing tiie work of the 
Society prevailed. The fruit exhibition was 
fine—especially from New York, Massachu¬ 
setts, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and 
California. The Southern States did not 
make as large an exhibit as wc anticipated, 
but, the representative fruits shown were not 
excelled. 
The work of the society, as our report 
shows, was maiuly devoted to the catalogue 
of Southern fruits. This work, so far as 
specific information goes, was necessarily 
unsatisfactory, because there was so much 
to do and so little lime in which to do it. 
Some of the Southern members thought a 
session of three weeks, instead of three 
days, would be necessary in order to do 
justice to the fruit interests of the South. 
Hereafter, it is to he hoped that the revision 
of the catalogue will be made by means of 
bionics furnished by the Society to leading 
pomologists and pomologicul societies in 
the respective States, ami that the Society’s 
meeting will lie devoted more especially to 
eliciting individual experience of members 
from the different States with fruits. Many 
who went to Richmond to learn from such 
discussions returned disappointed, and led- 
iug that the time was consumed in making 
a catalogue that ought to have been devoted 
to obtaining experience. But this work 
seemed necessary. 
As a whole, the meeting was both im¬ 
portant and profitable; and when, at the 
close of the banquet given the members of 
the Society by the Virginia Hort. and Pom. 
Society, Mayor Kelly closed a most kind 
and fraternal speech, by proposing that all 
join hands and sing Auld Lang Syne, every 
man became a brother and every heart said, 
“ It is good for me to be here.” 
-- 
THE PROPOSED AG’L EXPERIMENTS. 
The Agricultural College Presidents, so 
far as we have had opportunity to read 
their discussions at Chicago, seem to have 
had a lively sense of the difficulties attend¬ 
ing, and the uncertainty to result from, 
any series «f experiments they inay inau¬ 
gurate. The weigh l of opinion seemed to 
be, that no mailer how detailed, nor how 
general I be experiments, in our widely ex¬ 
tended country t hey must necessarily pos¬ 
sess but a local significance and value; and 
those who looked to Agricultural Colleges 
to establish, by experiment, general princi¬ 
ples and laws in relation to any branch of 
husbandry, would be disappointed. This 
is, of course, a sensible conclusion. Never¬ 
theless, n system of experiments carefully 
conducted in any locality, with any crop, on 
any kind of soil and at any allitudo, must 
be valuable; for data so derived will, in n 
measure, prove a guide in instituting com¬ 
parative tests. Wc hope therefore, that the 
work this Convention has commenced will 
be continued and completed, so far u.s it is 
possible to complete it with the experience 
accumulated and to be acquired. It must 
be inaugurated, and the Colleges cannot 
serve their pupils and the Agricultural pub¬ 
lic better than by attempting what so much 
needs to be done.

AMERICAN INST. FARMERS’ CLUB. 
Bursting of Cnbhnuo Henris. 
William Young, Palmyra, N. Y., says his 
oabbuge burst nnd make a second growth long 
before they come to a head. Asks for the reason 
and u preventive. None were given. 
Straw l*nper, 
in the opinion of S. N. Candle, Muscatine, Iowa, 
can be profitably niunufaotUred at that point, 
and no more so anywhere else. 
How to Extract Tan frniu Hemlock Burk, 
is What D. L. Dunning, Dorset, Vt., wauta to 
know, and whether It will pay to do so when the 
bark is worth $2 to $3 per cord. He Is informed 
(bat tanners In some localities pay more than 
that amount per cord for It, and find It. profit¬ 
able to do so. 
Orcirou tor Consumptives. 
Mrs. D. W, Sanborn, Manchester, Mass., asks 
if the climate of Oregon is. In the opinion of the 
Club, good for oonsumptlves. She is told that 
physicians generally recommend dry climates 
like Minnesota and Colorado for oonsumptlves. 
Oregon bus a moist climate. Mr. Williams said 
that the dry climates named will restore per¬ 
sons in the first stages of consumption, but not 
after the disease Is thoroughly established, 
though they may find relief there. 
Compost Henji and Applying It. 
A. K. Roberts a3ks how to make a compost 
heap, and whether to apply the compost In hills 
or broadcast; and when? He is tuld that the 
ingredients he names 6hould be mixed together 
out of doors, care being taken that there be ab¬ 
sorbing material—straw, muck, leaves, loam, 
charcoal, &c.—enough in the mixture to prevent 
the escape of nmmonin. Turn it over, pitch or 
shovel it together until it is thoroughly decom¬ 
posed ; then if the soil is light, and the crop is 
corn, nr some other lined crop, whose growth it 
Is desirable to stlmu'ato nt once, apply in the 
kill; but if the soil is heavy, and the object is to 
permanently Improve the condition of the land, 
as well as promote the growth of the crops, ap¬ 
ply broadcast. 
Budded vs. Grafted Trees. 
Alfred L. B. Serf.ga, Aldle, Vh., asksif bud¬ 
ded trees are as good us grafted, and when they 
should be budded. Gentlemen of experience 
prefer to bud young tree* nnd in August; but It 
Is better to graft trees five years old. Budding 
can be done in summer, when the bark peels 
readily, and grafting should be done In spring. 
Borer* in Cedar*. 
H. Howard, Phcenix, K. L, lint* a cedar sum¬ 
mer-house which the borers arc destroying. 
Asks for a remedy. Tho Commander of the 
Club had a similar experience and tore down his 
structure. No remedy was given but to kill tho 
borers with wires. 
Length of Time n Cow Will Give AT ilk. 
A. K. Roberts, Round Top. Tex., asks how 
Jong a cow w ill continue in milk if proper food 
is given her and the call Is taken from Iter 
when three or four weeks old. It is replied that 
it depends more on tho character of tho cow 
than anything else. Some eowa will give milk 
tho year round; others will dry up In six months. 
There Is no rule. 
8 nralium for Fodder. 
Mr Roberts asks if sorghum is valuable as 
a forage crop if cut and cured ns is corn fodder. 
He is informed that, it would be if it could be so 
cured; but it cannot.. It contains so much sac¬ 
charine matter that when cut and packed close¬ 
ly, it rapidly fern cuts and injures rather than 
benefits stock after undergoing this process. 
Asa soiling crop, fed in the green state,lt can be 
highly commended for enttlc and hogs; nnd 
even horses oat ft with avfdlly! but no member 
of the Club knew of any successful effort to 
cure it. for winter forage. 
Checking the Growth of rii|ua«li Vine*. 
Franklin Brown, Ohoeonut Center, N. Y., 
has two ncresof Hubbard Squash (July 12) grow¬ 
ing and setting finely, and asks if their growth 
should he checked after sufficient, fruit had set.; 
or whether the vines should be allowed to run at 
will. The experience or members present was 
that it was better to check tho growth of the 
vine by pinching back. 
Bug Remedy. 
It was stated that n New Jersey gentleman 
who has three acres of Vines (melons), has for 
several years planted In the center of each hill u 
small tomato plant, which lias prevented the 
ravages of the small, 6triped bug upon the vines 
altogether. The perfume of the tomnto plant 
seems too strong for the delicate olfactories of 
the insect. After the vines aro well established 
and have commenced to run, the tomato plants 
are removed. Tills has not failed for several 
years. 
Is the Trophy tin Early Tomato f 
This question wag raised by a member from 
Saratoga Co., who stated that i t it was not earlier 
than Keyes or Tilden, it was asoless for him to 
plant ir. Those who had Iried it think it later 
than cither 1 those named, but solid and excel¬ 
lent, thougli not of the best flavor. 
RURAL NOTES AND QUERIES. 
Literary Matter*.—As llie book I rade la becom¬ 
ing active, and Lho long evenings (for reading, 
etc.,) coining on apace, we purpose devoting 
more attention and space to noticing and an¬ 
nouncing new works, and cognate matters. 
Our idea is to occupy nearly or quite a page each 
alternate week with notices Of now publications, 
and such literary notes, items and announce¬ 
ments as wo think will prove of Interest tu both 
near and distant readers {—such a melange, for 
example, as is given on a preceding page of tills 
number. To enable ns to do tins properly, pub¬ 
lishers (and especially Ibose who find it to their 
advantage to advertise in tho Rural New- 
Yorker) will please send us their announce¬ 
ments promptly,—while other literary and jour¬ 
nalistic intelligence will prove acceptable. 
-»+•- 
Sanctum Personals.—Wo have received during 
tho past week a call from Mr. Jason Yukann 
of Kansas—an intelligent, frank and candid 
gentleman, who while he glorifies the present, 
and believes in the future of that State, 
does not recommend that every one who wants 
to butter his fortune should go there; nor 
that any one should sell h good home and go 
there without having first visited the Stato and 
examined tor himself. Hu 6ays that lu no town¬ 
ship In tho Slate can a man obtain a license to 
sell liquor, noeording to law, unless u majority 
of the men and women of that township sign hla 
petition for the license; and women are legally 
entitled to a vote in the cboloo of sohool officers 
nnd in decldiug wliat length or time a 60 hool 
shall continue. 
-M*-- 
Percheron Horses. —Messrs. M. D. & E. C. Oo- 
vell of Delawares Ohio, made a voyage to 
France, curly the past, summer, for the purchase 
or heavy liorsus for importation. Last week we 
met these gentlemen in the city of New York, 
just off ship, wltly live as pure blood and noble 
formed Percheron stallions ns we have soon 
landed on these shores. As the laws of Fiance 
prohibit the exportation of her best horse stock, 
Messrs. Covell must have executed an inge¬ 
nious flank movement upon the government. 
These horses were aeleoted after hundreds ot 
miles travel In search of genuine blood nnd 
form; they nre from Perohe and Normandy; 
great, solid muscled fellows, every one measur¬ 
ing over seven feet In girth, averaging over 
seventeen bunds high, and weighing, in full con¬ 
dition, from eighteen hundred to nineteen hun¬ 
dred pounds. They are all a beautiful dapple 
gray and about five years old. They were land¬ 
ed ut the stables of Robert Stoddart, No. 600 
Greenwich street, which is the usual shipping 
place for imported horses, and were shipped to 
Ohio, whence it 18 the intention of their owners 
to take them farther West. They will make u 
sensation at the fall fairs, where they may be 
exhibited.—8. d. h. 
Help for Tired Farmers’ Wives.—Ml’S. J. F. 
Blain, Kingsville, O., writes:—“Is there any 
means of procuring female help from your cily 
for the poor tired-out farmers' wives of tho 
Rural districts? We live within four miles of a 
large, prosperous town; nnd yet it is utterly 
impossible to get a girl to go into tho country 
to do housework. Will you be so kind as to 
give the address of The Home, or would it be' 
better to advertise? It seems to me that there 
must be some who would gladly accept homes 
In the country at liberal wages. I would gladly 
take a girl from The Home, but do not know 
how to address." 
We are in frequent receipt of similar re¬ 
quests, and herewith give the address of such 
institutions In this city as will be likely to be 
able to furnish female help for ihe country. 
First, there is the Free Labor Bureau and In¬ 
telligence Office at 8 Clinton Place, James Don¬ 
ohue Superintendent, which Is thronged with 
applicants, male and female, daily, seeking city 
nnd country employment. Some of our conn- 
try readers have secured help by applying lo 
person or by letter to this institution, which Is 
established by the city. Among the benevo¬ 
lent institutions of the city that may be able to 
furnish female help, wc name: 
Female Christian Home, 314 East 15th street. 
Home for Friendless Women, 8(5 West 4th 
street. 
Homo for tho Friendless, in charge of the 
American Female Guardian Society, whoso of¬ 
fice is 29 East 30th street. 
Home for Young Women, 27 Washington 
Square, Mrs. Marsh, Superintendent, 
Let our correspondent apply to these institu¬ 
tions: and it will be very strange if among the 
thousands of young women who strive for a 
livelihood and suffer for wantof it, in this city, 
who come to the notice of ihose in charge of 
them, there are not found scores who will gludly 
sock good and secure homes in the country. 
Our Foreign Trnde.—According to the report 
of tho Bureau of Statistics, we find, with refer¬ 
ence to our foreign trade, that for the year end¬ 
ing June 30.1871. our exports, Inclusive of spe¬ 
cie, have been a trifle—£10,398— In excess of our 
imports; whereas ihe exports in the previous 
year, including specie also, were £11,415,170 less 
than our imports. Tho actual imports of for¬ 
eign goods during ih« twelvemonth were 
$519,593,750, and the actual exports, inclusive of 
re-exports, $142,0fi0,2 J 8, making a balance against 
us in merchandise of $78,033,402. In settlement 
of this difference we shipped $70,043,860 specie, 
or about $10,000 in excess. We regard t his as an 
excellent showing for the year, nnd Indicates a 
balance of trade on the right side of the ledger. 
Good Times III Iowa.—The Homestead of Sept, 
8 sings this Harvest Ilymn “ Better limes, 
financially, appear to have gladdened tho hearts 
of our people generally throughout the State, 
and the railroads running oast never did a heav¬ 
ier froighi ing business. Everything appears lo 
be lovely about these days. A kind Providence 
did almost everything for us this year; now Iqt 
us see wliat we can all do next year, to aid 
Providence.” 
Fine Penche*—Were those, of the President 
variety, loft at our office one day last week by 
Mr. M. F. James, and grown In hi6 garden on 
De Graw St., Brooklyn. They were not only 
rich in flavor, but large and weighty—four of 
them weighing 28 ounoes. Friend J. may call 
again, or "any other inan"—not excepting 
Brother Beecbeh — who brings Buch freight 
from the “City of Churches." 
Whm Ciimmerclnl ‘'Drummer*" Cost Con¬

is an advertisement in the New York Herald by 
a grocery house In this cily$10,000 Balary 
and traveling expenses given salesmen who can 
sell #100,000 a year to responsible patties or pro- 
porllonatefoi less amount; persons of responsi¬ 
bility only need apply; one having Southern 
and Western trade preferred.” 
■ 
Protest Against Cutting up Corn.— A Fayette, 
Mo., correspondent of the Rural World protests 
against cutting up corn at all, asserting that ho 
thinks “ It is tho most slovenly, wasteful and un- 
farailtke way of gathering a crop of oorn that 
can be devised." We record this as au in¬ 
novation iu opinion which may set some one 
thinking. 
-H*--

kansas, asks where he can get Silver Spangled 
Polands, Earl Derby Games and Duckwing

BUSINESS INFORMATION. 
Northern Paclflo Bond*.—With the same confl- 
euoe with which they recommended the vari- 
us Government loans that have been under 
ltir charge, Messrs. Jay Cooke &Oo. commend 
le seventy-thirty gold interest-bearing bonds 
f tho Northern Pacific Railroad, tho demand 
jv which they report to he more active than 
ver, and the aooounts from the numerous 
jennies scattered all over the oountry to be of 
je most encouraging character. They Inform 
s that the sales, whloh last month reaobed 
1,000,000, are this month stilt heavier, and from 
je Increase of applications bid fair to be still 
irger as the time for the redemption of the 
ve-twen ties draws nigh. An exchange of the 
ve-t wen ties for Northern Pacifica to-day nets 
n Immediate profit, of 14 per cent., while the 
lerease of the annual gold interest is from $00 
> $83.22. The daily sales are now larger than 
ver. 
-mi- - 
Excelsior Lawn Mower.— Among the good 
lings shown nt the New England Fair was a 
aite of the Excelsior Lawn Mower, from the 
hapborn & Caldwell Manufacturing Gom¬ 
an y of Newburgh, N. Y. We have examined 
ito the anatomy of tbi3 mower, and in our 
•avels among dealers and purchasers thlssea- 
m have had occasion to learn of the high 
5 teem in which it ib held by all who have bad 
nything to do with It. The Excelsior is made 
f five sizes, viz.: No. 0 Is a small hand machine, 
ith a eleven inch cut, and sells at $16. No. 1 
has a fourteen inch cut; price $25. x 0 . 2 
eighteen inch cut, $30—all hand machines. No' 
3 is a one-horse Lawn Mower, cuts thirty inches] 
price $125. No. 4 has thirty-five inch cut. price 
$160. No. 5, forty inch, price $200. The Excel¬ 
sior has two heavy blade spiral knives or wipers 
a heavy iron roller, n pair of nent wrottglU-irou 
handles. The gear is very simple and secure, 
being the ball ratchet, perfected by Mr. Cald¬ 
well, who is a mechanical genius. The hand 
machines nre very easily operated, and will 
shave a lawn to a nicety. The horse machines 
hnve been improved by strengthening the knife 
bur and balancing the machine on castor wheels, 
so the bar will not spring in passing rough 
places. These are the machines now used on 
the fine lawns in Central Park. Having sold all 
they could make this season, the manufacturers 
.will now iro on to get ready a stock for the next 
season’s trade._ 
Boyd’# Patent Winker*.—One great objection 
to blind bridles has been that they were ruinous 
to horses' eyes, and painful to wear, especially 
in hot weather. W. F. Boyd of Mansfield, Mass., 
has invented a Winker which entirely obviates 
these objections, for by this winker the old, 
chafing, blinding piece of leather is displaced by 
a neat winker which, while it affords full protec¬ 
tion to the eye. allows unobstructed passage of 
light and air, and docs not rest upon the sides of 
the horse’s head. It is Bbaped like the palm of 
the hand, prevents the horse seeing what is be¬ 
hind, otherwise the vision is unobstructed. Two 
styles are made, one for common work harnesses, 
the other for the high priced; and all merciful 
mea should at oucc adopt it. 
The Ames Plow Company of Boston, made an 
exhibit of some six hundred entries, nt the New 
England Fair, comprising everything in the lino 
of agricultural implements, from a hay tedder 
to n garden peg. Plows of all sorts and sizes, 
etc., etc. 
The National Wntrh Company have a con¬ 
spicuous yet modest card, on our last page, 
which will attract the attention of those who 
wish to meet all trains and engagements “on 
time."

THE SEASON. 
West Milton, N, Y., Aug. 31.— Has been very 
wet and cold the last few days. Corn is very 
good, but quite late; oats likewise; buckwheat 
grows finely, considering the weather we have 
had. The price ot butter is from 28 to 30c.; 
cheese, factories, lie., and somewhat dull.— 
Q. V. K. 
Wokeman, Huron to., O., Sept. 11.— Weather 
very cold for this season of the year; corn and 
potato crop is good—tho latter selling nt 3 Ck^40o. 
per liU6hcl ; corn, 40c.: wheat. $1.14; oats, 30c.; 
butter, lflo. per lb.; eggs, 15c.; lard, 10c.; apples, 
30c.; peaches, $1©2 per bushel; quinces, $3; 
grapes, 5c. per lb.; cuttle, live weight, $4 per 
owt.; hogs, $5.50: bay, $10 per ton.—J. n. c. 
Aldeii, Hardin Co., lowo, Aug. 2B.—Farmers 
very busy haying and threshing. Com, oats 
and potatoes good; wheat a short crop, but 
plump berry. New corn, oats and potatoes will 
sell nt 15<3i20c.; wheat, 80®85o.; bogs, gross, $3; 
butter and cheese, 10@12^i'o. Farms are worth 
$304550; wild land, $10&15; horses, $75@125; 
cows, $25®40. Emigrants coming, and more 
wanted; a good time for them; provisions 
cheap; health never better: poor rlaoe for 
physicians and undertakers.—J. f. 
Newark,!*'. Y.,Sept. 12.—I hnve been traveling 
in the western part of this State. In those coun¬ 
ties lying botweeu the Gen esse and Niagara 
rivers, and so through north to Lake Ontario, 
the crop of peaches, quinces, plums, &c., is 
abundant. With us in Wayuc Co. the upple crop 
is small. Early apples are bringing from $3@4 
a barrel. Farmers expect to realize $5 a barrel 
for winter apples. At every village west of
