Saturday, March 8, 1883. 
The flood in the Ohio is receding at all points 
slowly but steadily. The loss and suffering it 
caused in its course appeal loudly to the kind- 
hearted everywhere for relief. During a recent 
expedition made by the Indianapolis Relief 
Committee, they found 1,421 houses submerged, 
357 cases of sickness; 55 deaths and 6,218 suf¬ 
ferers. The suffering is greatest at Hender¬ 
son, Ky., West Franklin; Shawneetown, Ill; 
Uniontown and Green River, Ky; Enterprise, 
Rockport. Grand View, Tell City and Alton. 
For 500 miles along the river great distress 
prevails. In rural districts fences are gone, 
com destroyed, stock drowned and people 
driven from their homes. Many have lost all 
their household goods. Dysentery, pneumonia 
and malarial fevers are rapidly increasing. 
Help from outside sources is urgently ueeded 
and to be effective it must be immediate. In 
this city the New York Herald is making 
splendid efforts to collect funds, James Gordon 
Bennett, liimself contributing $5,000. The 
total of the Herald fund to date is §27,585,87. 
Commissioner Loriug is also receiving contri¬ 
butions at the Agricultural Department, Wash¬ 
ington, D. C.: and at all the principal cities 
organizations have been formed for the pur¬ 
pose of raising funds. We earnestly urge 
farmers all over the country to contribute 
generously to this most deserving charity. 
Send on your subscriptions to the New York 
Herald, Commissioner Loring, or any other 
person engaged in the good work of collecting, 
and remember that he doubles liis gift who 
gives piomptly......... 
Reports from Slmwnectowu, Ill., say that 
the town is an awful scene of desolation. 
There are great gaps left by the houses swept 
away by the floods. In one location four solid 
blocks of dwellings have entirely disappeared. 
The Presbyterian Church lias floated away a 
mile. Several mills and businass houses are 
entirely gone. The villages of Blackburn and 
Raleigh, Kv., have been nearly wiped out. 
Over 100 bouses in these places are gone. At 
Columbus, Ky., over 10 feet of water, spread 
over the town, fills nearly all the stores....- 
The decrease in the public debt for Febru¬ 
ary is §7,630,678, against $18,636,883 for the 
month of January. The difference of six 
millions of dollars is more than accounted 
for by the expenditures of the Pension Bureau, 
which show- an increase of $8,400,000 over 
January.After 81 ballots, the Hon. 
T. W. Palmer, of Detroit, Mich., has been

dead from informality in the action ui»on them 
last year.,.. 
The Massachusetts Legislature has adopted a 
constitutional amendment providing for bien¬ 
nial sessions of the Legislature. A similar bill 
has been ordered to a third reading in the 
New York State Assembly.Mr. Ernest 
W. Longfellow* will give the Longfellow Mem¬ 
orial Association of Cambridge a lot of land 
120feet wide on Brattle Street and 240 feet 
wide on Mount Auburn Street, being a part of 
the grounds opposite their father’s former 
home.The Senate lias adopted an amend¬ 
ment to the paragraph appropriating $40,000 
for the protection and improvement of the 
Yellowstone National Park, providing for a 
superintendent at a salary of $2,000 and 10 as¬ 
sistants at $900 each;all to be appointed by the 
Secretary of the. Interior, to reside continuous¬ 
ly in the park and to have the duty of protect¬ 
ing the game, timber and other objects of in¬ 
terest; the balance to be expended in the con¬ 
struction of suitable roads and bridges under 
the direction of an engineer officer to be de¬ 
tailed for that purpose by the Secretary of War.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Short statements of all sorts of agricultural news 
of general, or extensive Importance or Interest, are ] 
solicited from everywhere for this Department. 
Saturday, March3, 1883. 
Negroes from the plantations in the river 
counties of Southeast Arkansas, Mississippi 
and North Louisiana are leaving in large 
numbers by boat and train, fearing a repetition 
of the disasters of. last year. The cotton 
planting season is at hand and operations are 
seriously retarded, owing to the floods and 
consequent flight of the negroes. 
The number of hogs packed in Chicago from 
Nov, 1 toFeb. 1, inclusive, for eleven packing 
seasons, compares as follows: 
1883.2,371,000 1877.1,490,758 
1982.2,258.000 1878.1,480,850 
1881 .2,587,000 1875.1,585,325 
1880.2,138,000 1871.1,508,937 
1871 .2,059,707 ir3. 1,291,600 
1878.2,249,778 
The num her packed at all points for the same 
time this season is reported at 5,225,000, against 
5,300,000 head the corresjionding date in 
1881-82.Ex-Governor Seymour, of New- 
York, believes it the duty of our citizens to see 
to it that more trees are set out. Forests would 
prevent both drouths and floods. They would 
aLso have an influence on wind storms.. 
.In the year 1870 about, seven pounds 
was the average amount of coffee consumed 
by each person in this country, but in 1880 it 
was over seven and-a-half pounds, and in 
1882 over nine pounds. 
Three thousand barrels of apples have been 
shipped to Philadelphia alone from the great 
stone fruit house in Battle Creek, Mich., this 
Winter.The receipt* of the Maryland 
State Agricultural College arc stated to be 
barely enough to cover the expenses. The 
price of tuition has been increased, aud the 
outlook is favorable. The recent action of the 
State Grange in appointing a committee to 
ascertain the facilities of the institution as on 
experimental station w ill, it is believed, greatly 
aid the college. If a favorable report is ren¬ 
dered, the Grangers will advocate before the 
next Legislature an appropriation of $16,000 
for the institution. 
So much of the best land in California 
needs irrigation, and the mining and irrigating 
companies are acting so hoggishly in the mat¬ 
ter that the Legislature has been appealed to 
for help. The bill before the legislature 
looks toward the appointment of a Board of 
Water Commissioners to have general super¬ 
vision over the distribution of the natural 
w'ators of the State.Maine sold $125,IKK) 
worth of spruce gum last year. 
.California is not generally considered 
a cotton State, yet one plantation in Sonoma 
County this season yielded 40,000 pounds from 
225 acres.The Connecticut Humane 
Society has had an old farmer of Burlington 
fined for Jetting his cows stand without shelter 
during the Winter. Ho was looked up in Bris¬ 
tol Jail till friends paid the fine....The 
largest crop of tobacco raised by one man in 
the Housatonic Valley in 1882 made 12,900 
pounds.Our whole export of bacon and 
hams for the year 1880-81 was valued at §61,- 
000,000, of which Germany took took only 6 
per cent. Great Britain, Belgium and France 
were the chief consumers.The family 
of a Mr. Green, of Vcrgenues, Vt., who was 
recently almost killed by an ugly bull have 
sold all his cattle to avoid further danger. The 
herd comprised 35 head of all ages.— 
The Illinois State Board of Agriculture has 
decided after considerable discussion to hold the 
State Fair, for the next two years, at Chicago. 
Decatur, Peoria and Springfield made bids for 
it. Attempts will be made to have the legisla¬ 
ture locate the fair permanently at Spring- 
field.In Henry County, Indiana, the 
“Black Swamp,” which covered an area about 
two miles square, has been drained, and it is 
worth $60 per acre. It was formerly worth¬ 
less.. .Reports from the West are gener¬ 
ally to the effect that cattle and sheep suffered 
less from the recent severe storms than would 
have naturally been expected.The an¬ 
nual crop of corn of Mexico is valued at 
$212,174,424; other agricultural products 
§177,451.086. The industrial products have 
au annual valuation of $14,000.000.Ad¬ 
vices from India show that there is every 
prospect, of a good and abundant rice harvest 
this year, and the new grain is all that 
can be desired, both in quality and quantity, 
In some places a small percentage has been 
slightly damaged.Flour is a new article 
of Southern produce for export, but several 
shipments have been made, by a mill at 
Augusta, Georgia, to Germany; the Georgia 
papers say the only hindrance to heavy foreign 
shipments has been the. inability to supply the 
demand.During J anuary the exports of 
cheese from the Atlantic ports amounted to 
$280,463 in value.The city of Milwaukee 
lias passed an ordinance compelling the brand¬ 
ing of “suine,” “butterine,” and “oleomarga¬ 
rine,” or the liability to a penalty of from $10 
to $100. This wall test the question whether a 
city ordinance can lie rendered any more effec¬ 
tive than a State law. 
The best Wheat and Rye in over twenty 
years. 
East Norwich, N. Y.. Oct. 30, 1882. 
H, J. Baker & Bko. : With your fertilizer 
this past season I have raised the best wheat 
and rye that I have had in over 20 years. I
