THE BUBAL HEW-YOBKEB 
SOUTHERN STATES, 
Virginia. 
(Continued from page237.) 
Painesvii.lk, Amelia Co.—We liad an unusually 
mild winter up to me first ot March, but since 
then we have had rain after rain almost continu¬ 
ally, which has kept the ground In bad order. 
Wheat-of which there was sown a larger area 
than usual—Is looking well generally, except on 
low. (lamp lands, or where It was not properly 
drained. We have had several frosts ol late which, 
t tear, have killed much or the fruit, and many of 
he tobacco plants. Tobacco Is now bringing bet¬ 
tor prices than last year at tills time, and farmers 
are preparing to put. in quite a large crop this 
year. Most of the oats were sown In February 
aud me beginning of March, and arc up. Some 
farmers, however, have not finished sowing In 
consequence or wet weather. The prospects are 
good for a late spring. w * 
Kentucky. 
Spears, Jessamine Co.—The winter has not 
1 nfluenced the wheat, but It shows some s'gn of 
disease, which l think Is caused by the Hessian 
fly. I do not. thtnK Its general appearance will 
compare well with that of other years, It looks 
dwarfish and spindling. It Is almost too forward, 
I am afraid, for late frosts. More wheat was sown 
last fall in Kentucky than In any year since It has 
become a State. j . e. s. 
Woodbukrt, Butler Co.—The winter has been 
very favorable to wheat. It Is looking fine, ex¬ 
cept on rolling land where It was badly washed 
by the February rains. The acreage Is a little over 
an average. I have not heard of a Hessian fly In 
this section for years. J. b. e. 
Louisiana. 
New Iberia, Tberta Parish.—A large portion of 
the corn crop Is planted and cotton planters are 
ready to go to work. The sugar cane Is fine this 
season, aud the prospects for a good crop are very 
flattering. Cotton and cane, it Is expected, will 
bring a fine profit. Very heavy rains just now are 
hurting the young crops somewhat. a, e. g. 
Texas, 
Saj.ado, Bell Co.—Wheat came through the 
winter all right. No sign of any disease yet, or 
of having been harmed by the Hessian fly. Its 
general appearance Is above the average of sev¬ 
eral years at thl s time. The acreage is greater 
than for several years past. e. g. m. 
Canada. 
London, Ont., Canada.—Wheat here has felt the 
want of Its usual winter coat of snow; but as the 
ground has not been frozen to any depth, there 
has been no material Injury. There Is no disease. 
The Hessian fly has not put In an appearance. 
There Is reason to expect a fair average crop. The 
acreage Is about oae-thlrd larger than In previous 
years, it had begun to put on a spring-like ap¬ 
pearance, but the subsequent cold will probably 
retard Its growth a little. b. s. w. 
Newby Station. Perm Co.. Ont.—We had an un¬ 
usually mild winter here, with hardly any snow, 
and when It came It was only two or three luches 
deep and lasted only a day or two. Fall wheat 
has suffered a good deal. Cattle are looking pretty 
well. There Is plenty of rough feed for them and 
abundance of hay, worm from $5 to $o per ton. 
Grain In this section Is nearly all marketed, and 
farmers are looking hopefully to the dairy business 
expecting to realize better prices the coming sea¬ 
son than last. Sheep are selling high mis spring.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Monday, April 5, I860. 
In Holland here are 12 large factories for me 
manufacture of oleomargarine. These receive me 
raw material from this country, and require every 
week from 60,000 to 60,000 tubs, each containing 
about 30 pounds 1 weight—in other words they turn 
out from 160,000 to iso.oou pounds of the product 
weekly.... .Cattle are dying in many parts of 
England of rot, j UBt the same as sheep.Many 
eweB are dying mere In lambing, still more of 
rot.It is estimated mat 76 miles of vessels 
carried grain from this country to Europe last year, 
and 25 , 000,000 more bushels were sent man ever be¬ 
fore .In Irelaud farmers whose annual val¬ 
uation Is under xis and above ctget as much 
seed potatoes as will plant ball an acre and as 
many oais as will sow an acre; holders whose val¬ 
uation Is under £4 get enough potatoes to plant a 
quarter of an acre; but In no case must the value 
of the seed to any farmer exceed £5. All seeds 
are to besold at cost, half the price to be paid next 
November, and the other half a year later with¬ 
out interest.The steamer Hindoo with grain 
in bulk from this city to Hull, England, was lately 
abandoned in a sinking condition at sea, as her 
cargo had shifted. Three officers and 200 head of 
cattle lost.Mr. Jas. N. Lee, Editor of Bell’s 
Messenger, the well-known English sporting and 
agricultural paper, died on March 11, at the age 
or 72 .In Uruguay one man owns 3,000,000 
sheep and lambs and 250,noo cattle l Where are 
yon. Texas?.In the Burra wang district In 
New South Wales, the Messrs. Edols lately got 466 
tons of wool from one clip of their 206,000 sheep. 
The fleeces of the dams averaged 8# pounds, those 
of the wethers, e>x and those of the breeding ewes 
and lambs, 4 pounds, making a general average of 
6 pounds. ., It is estimated there arc from 484,000,- 
000 to fioo.ooo,000 sheep In the world, or at the low¬ 
est estimate 320,833 miles ol sheep, If strung out 
one closely following the other, or nearly enough 
to encircle the globe 13 times.The Mark 
Lane Express thinks England would ho no worse 
off If every Due ^ess Short-horn left me Kingdom. 
....There .s a prejudice just now against the 
use of mutton In Great Britain, owing to me preva¬ 
lence of liver rot among sheep. Extensive 
seizures of carcasses rendered unfit for human food 
from an advanced stage of the rot, are being con¬ 
stantly made in me chief towns and destroyed 
by the Health Officers.The fourth an¬ 
nual meeting of the Northern Iowa Butter and 
Cheese Association was held at Montleello Feb- 
25-37. Oleomargarine was bitterly denounced ; 
herds are being weeded out of unprofitable cows 
giving less than r«,ooo pounds ot milk a year.... At 
the late meeting of the breeders of Holstein cattle 
held at Syracuse, N. Y., the following officers were 
elected: President, E, A. Powell, Syracuse ; Vice- 
Presidents, Hon. G. S. Miller, Peterboro; S. noxle, 
Wliltestown; Thos. B. Wales, So. Framingham, 
Mass, secretary, Chas. Houghton, Boston. Treas¬ 
urer, Wm. Brayton, Syracuse. A milk standard 
was adopted for the breed ... Cattle are dying of 
starvation throughout most of Texas_In Oregon, 
it is reported that Dearly half me herds either 
have or must perish ror want ol food. Colorado and 
Utah cattle, too, are dying by thousands_The 
Ua. oats crop Is reported to be suffering from rust. 
...Ga. buys 120,000 tons of commercial fertilizers 
this year—estimated Recent frosts have In¬

about San Antonio, Texas—all fruits and vege¬ 
tables have been destroyed....J. B. KUlebrew,

This Is to certify that R. S. White# Co’s. Nat¬

at the International Dairy Fair, New York, Dec., 
1879 ; that the decision of the Judges was unani¬

certify that me agent of Wells, Richardson A Co, 
used, or tried to use UDdue Influence with the 
judges when we were examining their coloring, 
sufficient to throw their coloring out of competi¬
