Violent tornadoes in Connecticut and Northern 
Texas have done an Immense amount of damage. 
. The American Union telegraph company 
opens lor business with, as It claims, 50,000 tulles 
of wire, extending from Portland to Omaha and 
Kansas City, south to Nashville, and northward 
throughout Canada.The Pad tie Mall steam¬ 
ship company passed under the control of Jay 
Gould at the annual election ot officers on Wednes¬ 
day, when a llstot directors headed toy Gould was 
chosen, 127 ,sou out of 200,000 shares being cast in 
Its favor. J. B, Houston was elected president, 
and the line will toe run hereafter to suit the Pa¬ 
cific roads.The public debt was reduced by 
the immense sum of $15,928,083 in May, making the 
whole reduction since June at), 1879. $74,820,530. 
The secretary has been buying $3,000,000 a week 
of the 6 ’b and 6’s, and the former are now down to 
$483,84S,700 and the latter to $22,001,900. The reduc¬ 
tion Is ot course attributable to the great Income 
from duties and the internal revenue consequent, 
upon the revival of business. Another month as 
favorable as May would carry the gala on our in¬ 
debtedness up to $ 90 , 000,000 for the fiscal year 
During the last five months 135,000 Immigrants 
have arrived—the largest number for the same 
months in the last 25 years_ Takata Agee,

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Statistics sbow that the exports of the country 
are steadily Increasing. Last April that of bread- 
stuffs was 33 per cent. greater than in the corre¬ 
sponding month last year, the total shipments 
Including grain, during that month this year, 
aggregating in value the large sum of $ 21 , 670 , 000 .. 
_The average yield of cotton on the famous Sea 
Islands, hoar Charleston, S. C.. under the slave 
system, was from eighty to one hundred pouuds 
an acre. Willi tree labor ll has been increased to 
two hundred and fifty pouuds, and somo planters 
last year made a net profit of $100 an acre. 
The King of the Belgians offers a prize of 25,000 
francs, or $6,250 for the best work on “ Means tor 
Improvements on Low and Sandy Coasts,” such as 
those or Belgium. The competition is open to 
writers ol' all nationalities. Foreign writers must 
send in their essays to the Ministry ot the Interior, 
at Brussels, on or beiore January 1 , issl. The 
award will be made by a jury of seven persons, 
consisting of three Belgians and lour ferelgners of 
different nationalities, who will be appointed by 
the King. The successful work will be published 
by the Belgian Government In 1882.The 
Chautauqua County Farmers’ Board of Trade, the 
project or which was mentioned here some weeks 
ago, was opened at Jamestown, Y. V., on June l. 
The Exchange was formally tendered to the Farm¬ 
er’s Organization with appropriate remarks lrom 
the President ot Jamestown, a speech by ex-Gov. 
Fenton, and responses by the President of the 
Board of Trade. The Exchange was declared open 
lor business transactions. The offerings were 861 
packages of cheese and 267 packages ot butter, 
from 18 factories and way dairies. The buyers 
were numerous. The prices were li> cents to 12 -c 
cents for cheese, 19 cents to 21 % cents for cream¬ 
ery butter, and 18 cents to 19 cents tor dairy butler 
.A correspondent from Fargo, Dakota Ter¬ 
ritory, unde-r date ot May 24, saysinterview’s 
with nearly X00 farmers from various sections ol 
the valley show that the universal conclusions 
among them la that the crop prospects were never 
better. Wheat is 2> > per cent, better this year than 
last year at thy same date. The yield of wheat 
tributary to the Northern Pacific railroad hist year 
was 6,006,000 bushels. The acreage and prospects 
for lHHOlnduate 70,000,000 bushels. The wheat seed¬ 
ed just O':lore the last storm three weeks ago Is 
stronger, brighter and better than laLer seeding.... 
Millions of locusts have appeared In Suffolk coun¬ 
ty, Long Island, N. Y. They are said to be attack 
lng the trees and bushes, and stripping them bare. 
In many places they are so thick as to bend the 
bushes to the ground, and the highways are lined 
wdth the old wings and body-cases cast off by them. 
The woods appear to be full of them, and the pecu¬ 
liar roaring sound made by their wings can be 
heard for a great distance. They are said to be 
the 17-year variety; hut then, as the genuine 17- 
year locust Is said to have appeared some two or 
three years ago, this is a question. But, at all 
events, the farmers are ’much alarmed for the 
safety of their crops. The army-worm has ap¬ 
peared near the Great South Bay, L, 1., and Is doing 
some damage there. The potato bugs are also 
troublesome to the farmers, although they are 
said to disappear before the locusts and the army 
worm .The strawberry and pea pickers In 
south New Jersey are busy. The crop Is not so 
much Injured as was at first feared, the ralu com¬ 
ing just In time to save it from total loss, and the 
growers entertain hopes of a fair return lor their 
labor.The drought was welcomed by New 
Jersey spoilsmen. The eggs of woodcock have 
been permitted to hatch, and the young escaped 
the Hoods. The birds will be very plentiful. As 
tbe birds lay their eggs lu marshes, thousands of 
them are annually destroyed by belug submerged 
In water_ .Bowie's Liverpool circular of June 
1, estimates the loss ot sheep In the United King¬ 
dom from rot at 2,900,000, and this will be followed 
by a deficiency of about 2 , 400 , oOO lambs as most of 
tfiesheep wfilch have perished were breeding ewes. 
.The movement ot Hour and grain to the East 
through Buffalo, N. V.. this year is very large; 
in fact, It has been heavier thus tar thau In any 
preceding season. The receipts of Hour for May 
were C4,49i) barrels lu excess of those for the cor¬ 
responding month lu 1878, and 89,790 barrels for 
the season, or double the arrivals for last year. 
The grain movement Is equally as gratllylng, the 
excess tor the month standing at 3,172,687 bushels. 
For the season up to May 29, the receipts compare 
as follows: In tsso, 22 , 071,041 bushels, to 8,381,929 
In 1879. The exporls by caual were also unusually 
large. The totals for all kinds ot grain compare 
as lollOWS: 1880,11,532,529 bushels; 1879, 6,506,000 
bvshels, and 1878, 13, 000 , too bushels-To fill up 
the gaps lu the Bails parks caused by lhe destruc¬ 
tive effects or the winter, as described some weeks 
ago in our “Everywhere,” 54 ,000 evergreen trees 
and 30,000 deciduous trees are required. In the 
Champs Elysees 3,200 trees were killed and «,ooo 
had to be cut down to the roots. Vet amid this 
great destruction It Is pleasant to know that the 
great cedar of Lebanon in the Jardtn des Plantes 
remains unharmed, notwithstanding the report 
that It had perished.. By official record, Hie rain¬ 
fall lu Paterson, N. J.. in May was the ligutest in 
that month for nearly halt a century, excepting In 
May, 1830, when It was only 0.63 inch. The rain¬ 
fall for May, 1830, was 0.85 ot an luch; in May, 
1843, one Inch, and In May, 1875, 1.33 inches. The 
present year the mouth began with a temperature 
that made ice half an luch thick On the 4th the 
temperature amounted to a mean ot 83 deg., with 
a maximum ot 79 deg., showing au upward range 
ot 40 deg.. In tour days. The extreme range for 
May, 1879, was 36 aeg., or 20 deg. less than the 
present month....A leading Liverpool grain cir¬ 
cular telegraphed hither on June 5, says: “ The 
grain trade during the past week was unchanged, 
and the demand at various markets Inactive. 
Previous prices were, however, well maintained 
lor choice wheats, but barely lor secondary. 
There was a fair inquiry tor cargoes off coast lor 
both the United Kingdom and the Continent, but 
► they are held somewhat above buyers' Ideas. 
There Is hardly any disposition to operate In 
wheal on passage and lor shipment. On the 
spot, since Tuesday, the transactions lu wheat 
have been moderate. Corn was dull, tending 
downward. To-day’s market was thinly attended. 
The demand was slow, and la the limited sales 
ot wheat, except for choicest qualities, millers have 
the advantage ol id. The market is about cleared 
ol California off coast, chlelly for the Continent, at 
extreme rates. Flour was very dull and nominally 
rather cheaper. Corn was in lair request,”— 
A Paris dispatch say s: “ The ravages of the phyl¬ 
loxera are becomlug more serious dally. In July 
last It was computed that one-third of the total 
surface devoted to wine-growing had been Irre¬ 
trievably devasted, and as the plague has been 
steadily increasing all tiffs year, it Is estimated 
that 40,000 acres have bueu added to tfie total 
amount of land lost. A society ol wine-growers 
has been formed for the purpose of utilizing and 
applying scientific means Lor destroying the Insect. 
_The first car-load of new wheat arrived at St. 
Louis on May 29, irom Texas, and sold at auction 
at $1.62. a bushel. A premium of $125.00 In addi¬ 
tion was made up tor the shippers by several of 
of the grain dealers lu recognition ot the event. .. 
KxporlsfrOin New York lu the week ending with 
Saturday May 29, included 3,400 head ol live cat¬ 
tle, 2,550 quarters beef, 3,5io live sheep, 3,loo car¬ 
casses mutton, and 300 dressed hogs. 414 ,000 bushels 
of wheat and 45s,ooo bushels of corn_The area In 
wheat along the line of Lhe Northern Pacific rail¬ 
road thla year Is estimated at lo,ooo,uoo acres 
against 6 , 000,000 last year. A yield of 20 bushels per 
acre would make 200 , 000,000 bushels as tbe crop of 
mat region. . The Mark Lane Express ol May .hi, 
In Its review of the British grain trade for the past 
week,says: “The showers and warm winds 01 
the past week have promoted vegetation wonder¬ 
fully. If the weather from now to harvest should 
even be unusually dry, it will probably be benefi¬ 
cial to the wbeat. crop.” The supplies ol English 
wheal, continued small, but trade was not very 
animated ell bur lu Mark-Lane or lu tbe provinces. 
Prices were fairly steady, and only receded for 
inferior produce, ot wifich, however, a large pro¬ 
portion of the ofierluga lu London consisted. 
The tons of Parls-grceu that have been used by 
New Jersey and Long island farmers In tbe de¬ 
struction of potato bugs It was supposed would 
rid them of the pest for tJffs season. But the bugs 
appear In greater numbers than ever beiore, and 
to make it more serious nave adopted a new place 
of attack. They cluster around the vine before It 
has shown above the drlU, and feed upon It until 
the seed rots. In uncovering drills where the 
crop has been too long sprouting, hundreds of 
young bugs are found clustered around the ten¬ 
der stalks... The arrivals of immigrants during the 
past week aggregate 12 , 511 ....An. International 
Exhibition of sheep, wool and wool products will 
beheld at the Exhibition Budding In Philadelphia 
next September. Congress has passed an act ad¬ 
mitting free of duty aU Importations Intended for 
show only at this exhibition, and directing the 
Commissioner of Agriculture to “attend and make 
a full and complete rcpoit of the same.” There 
will be an excellent opportunity for our raisers or 
fancy stock to enter their stock and see how they 
compare with those ot other countries. Consider¬ 
ing that the importations of the raw material to 
the United States amounted to 70.247,972 pounds 
ot wool for 1879 as against 35,798,515 lor 1878, It Is 
very evident that too little attention Is paid to the 
raising of this much-needed article....On May 
27 the senate spent the day in the routine con¬ 
sideration of the Agricultural Appropriation bill, 
and passed It. The salary; of Commissioner Le 
Due was increased to $4,000 Mr. Windom advo¬ 
cated the amendments proposed by the senate 
Appropriation Committee, the principal of which 
Is to add an appropriat ion of $15,000 tor the pur¬ 
chase of maelffnery and apparatus for experi¬ 
ments lu manufacturing sugar from sorghum and 
corn-stalks and other sugar-producing plants. 
The Committee proposed an amendment appro¬ 
priating $ 7,000 instead of $ 5,000 for, experiments in 
connect ion with the culture ajid manufacture of tea 
3,000 Instead of 5,000 for experiments tor the Im¬ 
provement of the varletlesand culture ol cotton... 
Mr. Hammond moved that the first amendment 
should read $9,000 and the second $ 2 , 000 . Experi¬ 
ments In South Carolina and other Southern States 
im.fi shownthftttea could be cultivate'’. In this coun¬ 
try. We were importing $ 20 , 000,000 or $25, 000,000 
worth of tea annually, and should encourage every¬ 
thing tending to domesticate tiffs plant and make 
its importation unnecessary. Hu explained the 
second part Qf his amendment by stating it was 
too late In the season to make such experi¬ 
ments In cotton this year. There was no occa¬ 
sion lo Import cottou-seed, because the finest 
grades of cotton in the world are American, and 
$ 2,000 was an ample amount, for this appropria¬ 
tion. Mr. Hampton's amendment was agreed to. 
Mr. AUlson moved to amend the committee amend¬ 
ment so that experiments In manufacturing sugar 
from sorghum and corn-stalks, etc., shall be car¬ 
ried on, and machinery erected, In one of the chief 
corn-growing States. In opposition It was urged 
that W ashington was the place to erect machinery, 
where experiments could be carried on under the 
direct supervision of experts. Mr. AlllBon’samend¬ 
ment was rejected—yeas, 16; nays, 35—and the 
Committee’s amendment was agreed to. otner 
Committee amendments and some other unim¬ 
portant amendments were agreed to, and the bill 
passed. It adds about $28,000 to the bill as it came 
lrom the House... .The exports ot cattle from 
Boston port for the first four months of the year 
were 18,194, of sheep 5713, ol hogs 1873. The total 
up to the present time Is about 27,000 cattle, 12,000 
sheep and 25,000 hogs. 
HIGGIN S SALT. 
Biggin's Salt must be the best, for It has, In 
mo 3 t sections, within four years almost run the 
Ashton brand out of the market os a first-class 
dairy and table salt. For a time the agent of the 
Ashton brand tried to stem the tide by talking ol 
its old-time reputation, just as the Importers of 
raw sugar talked about the superior sweetness of 
their half-manufactured product when the clean 
and pure refined sugars first CftUie luto use. Now, 
however, as a last resort, the versatile agent of the 
Ashton brand is endeavoring to distract attention 
from the Inferiority Of hts salt by loudly crying 
that the New York agents for Biggin’s also sell 
oleomargarine, the inference being that Mr. Hig¬ 
gle and the hundreds Of suit dealers who handle 
the Eureka for their best salt also deal In oleomar¬ 
garine and that dairymen should use only Ashton’s 
salt. Apropos to this the A merlcan Dairyman sug¬ 
gests that “he hates not Oleo less, but Ulggln 
more;” at any rate, his effort to grind his little 
sail axe by appealing to the prejudices of dairy¬ 
men is amusing. Dairymen are, doubtless, smart 
enough to see through this, and consult their own 
Interest by using tne best salt, no matter tvno 
sells It. lllggln’s Improved process has been 
granted a patent by the English Government; the 
Eureka Halt is used In the Queen’s daff y and by 
the most successful and progressive dairymen 
everywhere. Notwithstanding It has only been 
known lu this country for lour years, It Is for sale 
by neurly all the salt dealers (rein Maine to Texas 
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In 1876 there 
were 5,951) sacks Imported; In 1877, 32,800 sacks; 
In 1878, 69,045 sacks; and In 1879, 93,00ij sacks.—

The collapse of the iron boom has already caused 
the failure or several large operators In Iron both 
here aud across the Atlantic. Week before last 
an English iron firm failed for upwards ot $ 3 , 000 ,- 
O00. and last week Campbell & Co., of this city, 
foUowed suit to the tune of about $ 2 , 500 , 000 . The 
downfall of these heavy dealers Is sure to cause 
the bankruptcy of many smaller operators In Iron, 
—another proof of the evils Inseparable from 
“ booms ” In any Industry.
