MISCELLANEOUS. 
Monday, February 16, 1880. 
The newspapers are filled with distressing ac¬ 
counts of the Irish famine. The New York Herald 
is the faithful champion of the suffering people’s 
cause. Up to Monday morning the 13th, die 
Herald fund had increased to $200,692.56. It Is es¬ 
pecially New York city that Is contributing to the 
fund. Long lists of the names of the givers are 
published In the Herald every day. But It Is found 
Impossible to reach all who are willing to con¬ 
tribute their mite by solicitation. Contribution 
boxes nave therefore been placed In the frequent¬ 
ed thoroughfares throughout the city, and It Is 
hoped that a sum which, in some measure, will 
alleviate the distress, may speedily be collected. 
Irishmen are talking of abolishing all demonstra¬ 
tions, halls and gayetles on St, Patrick's day. and 
using the money which would be thus uselessly ex¬ 
pended, to swell the neraldfund.The New 
York .Senate have unanimously passed the bill 
entitling women to vote for and fill school offices. 
The lower branch of the Iowa Legislature has also 
passed a woman suffrage amendment to the state 
constitution, sc to 24. Til® women are scoring a 
steady progress over the country.

fying all Invaders that they will be forcibly re¬

national Dairy Fair Association held Its annual 
meeting aDd election or officers, In this city, Feb. 
10. Two tickets weak In the field, the •• regular ” 
with Hon, 11. Smith, ot Sheboygan, Wls., at the 
head of the other candidates mentioned bore last 
week, and the Independent with Francis D. Moul¬ 
ton at its head. The latter ticket triumphed. The 
following are t he officers for the current year: 
Pres., Frauds I). Moulton; 1st Vice-Pres., colonel 
R, p. McGllnooy; Bee., T. Mortimer Beaver; Treas. 
Wash. Wndsor; and a long list of Vice-Presidents! 
.. The Association bitterly denounced the oleomar¬ 
garine fraud and appointed a committee of 15 to 
take action for the suppression of the fraudulent 
traffic; and In their efforts they were Instructed 
to co-operate with the Society for the Preven¬ 
tion of Adulteration in Butter, of this city.The 
war against oleomargarine Is carried on steadily 
here and in Brooklyn, and has now extended to 
Jersey City. Arrests are oelng constantly made 
of retail dealers, who sell the stuff as genuine but¬ 
ter..,. The negro exodus has already added about 
15,000 to the population of Kansas, most of them 
devoted to farming... .$ 70,000 have been subscribed 
for that beet sugar factory at Franklin, Mass., and 
400 acres of beets are pledged for the first year's 
crop_The (Southern States seem to be getting 
wild on cotton to the uegleot ot food crops. How¬ 
ever this may turn out for the South, It Is likely to 
be good lor the West whence most of the Imported 
food will be drawn next year.... Wheat looks fine 
to Indiana; stock are in good condition, beef ani¬ 
mals scarce.... There seems to be a falling-off of 
1 , 000,000 hogs this year as compared with last, so 
that prices should still rule high.... Reports from 
the leading dealers in agricultural machinery and 
implements show that their orders are greatly 
ahead or this time last year.Duluth shipped 
half a million bun els of Hour last year_Nearly 
two-thirds of the cultivated area ot Minnesota are 
devoted to wheat. In 1859, the acreage under th iJ 
crop was 124,9.2, last year it was 2,769,369 ...'i . e 
population to Germany Increases faster than the 
production of grain. Germany annually Imports 
from40,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels of grain....It 
is said that the cost of converting wheat Into flour 
In France amounts to only from twenty to twenty- 
five cents per 250 pounds....Wheat to England 
was highest duilng the past year on November 8, 
namely: 00 shillings five pence per quarter ; and 
lowest on February 22 , namely: 37 shillings seven 
pence per quarter.... a “New Process” mill with 
14 run of stories, Is being built at Harrisburg, Pa. 
.... Three-fourths of the bird used In Germany 
comes from this country. ..The raUroad rates 
from Chicago to this city arc on the basis 
of 80 c. per 100 pounds tor flour; 40 c. for 
grain, and 45 ceuts for provisions.Ocean 
freights are lower than for a long time. 
The St. Louis Fair Association lias an indebtedness 
of $170,000.The gold and silver mines of this 
country, from 1849 to 1875.27 years, yielded $1,617,- 
000, while the value ot agricultural products ot one 
year, 1877, was $1,594,000. in a woid, the farmer 
has added to the wealth of the country almost as 
much to a single year as the miner to 27.... Agri¬ 
culture, is to be made an obligatory study In all 
elementary schools of France. This Is a recent 
action of the French Senate, and was adopted by a 
majority of 254 votes.It is said that the pro¬ 
ceeds from the sale of tickets at the late Interna¬ 
tional Fair at this city paid all ex peases Geese 
are raised for their feathers to Texas, ope goose 
ranche In western Texas lias 300 geese, whose 
feathers are plucked every two months, each one 
averaging a pound and a hall a year.At the 
Marquis of Huntley’s late sale of Polled Angus 
cattle, la Scotland, 37 animals brought an aver¬ 
age of $221 apiece.The prices or the Polled 
cattle has been much less affected by the late de¬ 
pression than those of the short-horns or any 
other breed.The production of beot root sugar 
In Europe, according to the statistics furnished by 
Herr Llohl ot Magdeburg, was 1,880,000 tons for 
1879, against 1 , 574,154 tons tor 1878. This amount 
Is divided as follows among the various Stales of 
Europe: Germany, 410,000; France, 800,000; Austro- 
Ilungary, 866,000; Russia,226,000; Belgium, Holland 
Italy, etc., so, 000 . m France the diminution In 
the production or this article was 132,000 tous.....

II. Mason, Canandaigua; Treas,, L B Gaylord, Can¬ 
andaigua; Cor. bee., Geo. W. Johnson, Geneva. 
On hand, after paying all debts, $*72.70.The 
Maine farmers seem to have discovered that there 
Is more profit In fee ling their beets to stock than 
in selling them to the sugar factories at $5 per ton 
and buying back the pulp at $ 2 . They are slow 
to make, new contracts therefore.We are told 
that among English farmers. 477 were bank¬ 
rupt to 1817; 1815, ’78, and 1,431 to ’79....Hol¬ 
land has been suffering irom floods, entailing 
Immense losses, which, of course, fall heaviest, on 
ramiers.Since bis arrival in Havana, Gen. 
Grant has been enthusiastic to Ids praises of 
Florida. According to him, the peninsula will 
produce within a few years enough sugar, tobacco, 
and oranges to supply the United states and leave 
something over. But the sugar and tobacco peo¬ 
ple to Havana say that the Florida son oauuot 
produce the liner kinds ot sugar and tobacco. 
The ex-Presldent, however, Is sure that the immi¬ 
gration from New England will remedy this lack, 
and he depends upon Yankee Ingenuity to adapt 
the soli to the tobacco plant.. It Is Interest¬ 
ing, and to many people It may be profitable, to 
know the comparative value of different, lands 
of wood for fuel, shollbark hickory Is regarded 
as the highest standard of our forest trees, and 
calling that 100, other trees will compare with It 
for real value as fuel for house purposes as fol¬

arc worth much more for fuel than those grown 
on wet land.... Much excitement, around Ara- 
heiBt, Mass, on the reported sale by the Agr. col¬ 
lege, of some AyrshiresInfected with tuberculosis. 
Cattle sold In l *77; won two premiums sluce, lately 
found diseased. Farmers’ Institutes and Clubs 
busy discussing tne matter. ....... The Mass. 
State Board of Agriculture has just protested 
against the threatoned *• gobbling^ up ’’ of the 
Agr. Coll, by Amherst or Harvard, both of which 
colleges are not unwilling to take now what they 
tried ror at Its establishment.The Mass. 
Agricultural college estimates Its real estate at 
$ 200 , 000 ; the farm stock at $2,747; implements and 
vehicles at $1,005; farm produce at $2,019; antici¬ 
pated income for current year, $16.2011; expendi¬ 
tures, $ 14,000 .About Greenfield, Mass. It Is 
said farmers cannot afford to raise sugar-beets for 
less than $6 or »7 per ton of 2,000 pounds. 
Tne largest recorded corn crop In Maine was last 
year raised by A. G. Thurlow, of Portland, fora 
$50 premium, offered by the Lewiston Journal— 
101 bushels on one acre, and, of course, ’L was a 
poor corn year too.Senator ilUL, of Colorado 
has Introduced and favors a proposition to appro¬ 
priate $50,006 to tne digging of artesian wells here 
and there In the plains of the West, for the pur¬ 
pose of proving that 500 , 000,000 acres may be re¬ 
claimed by Irrigation, In this way. Private capital 
will. It is expected, then be invested In the busi¬ 
ness. Gen. Le Due endorses the project.
