AGRICULT URAL NEWS. 
There Is a report that the old United States 
Agricultural society, inaugurated i.8 years ago, 
bur which has shown Utile or no vitality since the 
outbreak of the w nr. Is about to be revived—Is It 
to be a rival of the three A’s? . . The American 
Poultry Association held its annual session at In¬ 
dianapolis on the l 'l.li. Cash on hand $522.36, be¬ 
sides a wealth of standards, show-cards, etc.—a 
good showing compared with that of the llrst meet¬ 
ing a few years ago, when money had to bo bor¬ 
rowed to meet expenses. . . According to the 
report of the Montreal Corn Exchange on the 15th 
the receipts of grain for ittly amounted to over 
23,ooo,oiHi bushels, which Is larger than on any pre¬ 
vious year. Shipments,22,100,000bushels. . .North 
Carolina has 52 cotton mills. . . In Powhatan 
Co., Va., during the last month a Mr. Watkins had 
100 sheep killed by dogs. . . The fence law of 
S. C., Is said to be a wouderlul saving to fanners. 
. . . The fall dip or wool In Nueces county, 
Texas, amounted to three million pounds -more 
sheep there than lu any other county In the Slate. 
. . . Hurrah grass Is taking possession of a 
great many tine farms on the Arkansas Klvcr 
bottom, on account of Us persistency, It Is called 
•‘eternity weed."” Negroes think Its seed Is sown 
by the devil.—4 »j says me Little Kook uaxetle. . . 
Nicaragua wheal is getting to be a favorite In 
some parts of Texas. It la -Iaimed to be rust and 
smut-proof; to give double the yield oi ordinary 
varieties; to be excellent rood tor mules, horse 
and hogs, ground. It makes sweet but coarse 
flour, and Is said to be peculiarly adapted to the 
South. Millers, however, object to grind It un 
account of its hardness, and workmen to bind is 
on account of its bristly ears. Special milling 
steam attachments, It Is said, are being prepared 
for it, aelf-blnders will not shrink from the rough 
beard. Planted, in Texas, front August to March— 
Feb. and March preferably. . . One firm at 
Tully, N. V., thrashed the following amount of 
grain this season:—of wheat, ie,oli busnels at 
■lc. per bushel; 23,000 bushels oats at 2c.; 4,359 
bushels barley at 3c.; 4»5 bushels buckwheat at 4c.; 
1,152 bushels oats and peas at ac.; 722 bushels flax¬ 
seed at 12c.; 302 bushels clover at 75e. per bushel, 
making an aggregate of 36,691 bushels of grain, 
and the gross proceeds amounting to $i,36S,&9. . . 
Last Monday adillUonal storage capacity for grain 
to the amount of two million bushels was pro¬ 
vided at Chicago; six hundred thousand bushels 
of wheat were on that day stored in ships, at seven 
cents per bushel, lor trausportaUou to Buffalo lu 
spring. , . T he apple crop of Chautauqua Co 
N. Y., for 1879 Is estimated to have been worth 
more than the butter production, and If the clear 
proflta are takeu into account, It Is said to have 
been worth ten limes more. . . Ex-Gov. Wash¬ 
burn, of Wl8., has just given the WIs Industrial 
Association 40 acres of land at Montreal Point, 
his old home, to be used as a permanent fall- 
ground. . . The stock of cheese In this olty on 
January 1, Is put down at 194,000 hoses. It Is esti¬ 
mated that outside or the city there were In the 
State about 66,000 boxes. In addition to this, the 
States of Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and 
Wisconsin are estimated u> have hud 164,000 boxes. 
This made a grand total of 406,000 boxes on hand. 
A year before the amount of stock held In Now 
York city alone was 396,467 boxes, and two years 
before It was ‘318,032 boxes. The amount this 
year, thereiore, was considerably less than for 
two yeara past and made a more satisfactory 
showing as to future prices for this dairy prdoduot. 
G. J. Kruse, of Lake Village, Ark., claims to have 
a sow that gave birth to a Utter of flve tine pigs on 
Dec. 19th, and to another or 10 ditt o, on Deo. 26th. . 
The striking Chicago packers were riotous last 
Tuesday. Non-Union men were mobbed and 
maltreated savagely, and several packing houses 
stoned. Police called out In force, mobs retire. 
Violence more ntnictna on Wednesday. Mob be¬ 
coming turbulent, and was swellod by the rlff-ruff 
of the city. . A destructive gale swept over Oi e- 
gon on the 9th blowing down houses, killing cattle, 
blocking railroads, prostrating telegraph poles and 
“mussing up” things generally. , . A famine 
prevails lu Russia in the country between the 
Volga and the Don,towing to the failure of the crops 
from drought. Some have tiled of starvation, many 
more dying; help from the government craved. . . 
An experiment la now being made In exporting 
live cattle from Australia to Englaud. The cost 
of transportation Is aboutone-and-a-half times the 
price of the beasts, which cost In Australia about 
double the price of Texas eattle lu the Louo Star 
State. . . From J an. lsL Sheep may be lauded In 
Ireland from this country, without quarantine and 
without being slaughtered at the place of lauding. 
. . The nail manufacturers of this olty have 
advanced the price of nails—had for board fences.
