THE SURAL NEW-YORKER 
stations in connection with the agricultural 
colleges. Care is to be taken that each ap¬ 
propriation is to be strictly employed to carry 
out the special work for which it was intend¬ 
ed, and no other. The Directors of the .Sta¬ 
tions are to hold positions equal to those of 
the other Professors in each college, and strict 
account is to bo kept of all expenditures 
so as to bo able to show at any time that they 
have been honestly made in accordance with 
the law. Under the law the first quarterly 
aymeot, amounting to $3,750, was to have 
een made for each station on October l. An 
effort is to be made as soon as the Committees 
have been appointed by Congress when it 
assembles in Deo., to get that, body to make 
two quarters’ payments- $7 500— to each station 
in addition to whatever amount may fall due 
on the two following dates of payment in the 
next fiscal year, and there is a fair prospect 
that this will be done....

Crops & iilxirltfts. 
Saturday, Oct. 29, 18S7. 
Bradstreet’s summaries of matters agri¬ 
cultural during the week, may be condensed 
as follows:—In Kansas City cattle are 15 to 
20 cents lower than a week ago. Packing is 
15 per cent ahead of last year, and the out¬ 
look for cattle is not favorable. The same is 
the case at Omaha. Here too cattle are de¬ 
pressed. 
Wheat is two cents, corn, one cent; oats, % 
cent, and wheat tiour (low-grade) five to ten 
cents higher ou the week. The region be¬ 
tween the Rocky mountains and the Missis¬ 
sippi has increased in population about 240 
percent, since 1870, and in the production of 
wheat 350 per cent., producing last year 175,- 
000 000 bushels. 
Another week of continued dullness has ap¬ 
peared hi the wool market. From present ap¬ 
pearances further declines are not to be looked 
for. Trade remains in buyers’ lavor. Hold¬ 
ers, however, except when forced to do so by 
financial stress, are not pressing their stocks 
for sale. 
Might as Well Die on That an Anything Else. 
W hen one has suffered on,month after month, 
consulted all the best “Medicine Men” within 
reach, tried all the remedies suggested by sym¬ 
pathizing friends, still suffers on, becoming 
weaker and more wretched, it is little wonder 
that such a one becomes despondent, and cries 
out, “I might as well die on one thing as 
another, and therefore will try anything, even 
the Compound Oxygen.” 
Mr. Alonzo Clark, chief salesman in the large 
business house of Davis, Collamore & Co., of 
New York, wasso greatly reduced by long con¬ 
tinued lung trouble, proceeding from malaria, 
that the doctors gave him up. They said," if 
you have any business affairs to arrange, you 
had better arrange them soou, for you cannot 
live long.” He bad all the symptoms of ad¬ 
vanced consumption. By this time he thought 
the doctors had doue all they could do for him 
which they verily had, at the rate of ten dollars 
a visit. Somebody dropped a hint iu his car 
about, Compound Oxygen, and he thought he 
might as well die on that as anything else. 
But ou taking it, for a little while, he found he 
was not going to die. To make a long story 
short, Mr. Clark is again at his post in the 
store ou Broadway, and attending to business 
with his old-time regularity. He is, ns might 
be expected from his experience, a very firm 
believer in Compound Oxygeu. 
This Compound Oxygen has a history em¬ 
bodied in a very interesting two hundred page 
treatise, which is sent by mail ou application 
to Drs. Starkey & Paleu, 1529 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, Pa.— Ado.
