Saturday, August 18, 1888. 
Mr. M. H. Beckwith, Assistant Horticul¬ 
turist at the New York Experiment 
Station, has been elected as Horticulturist 
and Entomologist to the Delaware 
Agricultural Experiment Station. . 
At a meeting of the Dutchess and Ulster 
Farmers’ Club at Poughkeepsie, Tuesday, 
New York commission men were denounced 
in severe terms, and it was suggested that the 
farmers organize an association with an agent 
whose head quarters shall be in (New York, to 
whom all the fruit and other products of the 
Hudson River counties shall be sent. A 
committee was appointed to perfect a plan of 
operation against the commission men. 
.The American Meat Company 
is about to begin shipping cattle to 
Kansas City for slaughter. r lhe company has 
a capital stock of $25,000,000, and owns 
4,000,u00, acies of land in the West and in 
Mexico, ai.d has 425,000 head of cattle. 
. Advices from Chihuahua, Mexico, re¬ 
port a terrible disease among the cattle in 
that region. Many die suddenly. 
President Cleveland accompanied by Mrs. 
Cleveland, the Hon. W. L. Scott, the Hon. 
W. H. Hatch, Chairman of the House Com¬ 
mittee on Agriculture: Congressman Levi 
Marsh, Belva Lockwood, Gen. Fish, and 
many other prominent men, will arrive 
at Williams’s Grove, Pa, on Aug. 28, the 
day of the opening of the great agricultural 
exhibition, and make addresses.Ergot

..Judging from the number of dogs kept in 
Ireland it must be a very prosperous country. 
According to the returns of this year there 
are 358,070 registered dogs; 25,610 in towns 
and the remainder in the farming districts.... 
..Last year 720,790 acres were devoted to 
raising peas in the Province of Ontario, Can. 
The yield was 12,173,332 bushels, an average 
of about 10 bushels per acre. The season was 
an unfavorable one for this crop, as the aver¬ 
age j leld for the five preceding years was 21.6 
bushels. 
Au International Horse Show will be held 
in Paris next year and $43,000 will be dis¬ 
tributed. The classes agreed upon are 
Thoroughbreds, Arabs, Anglo-Arabs, half- 
breeds, cart horses, mules, and donkeys. An 
international trotting meeting will be held at 
the same time under the direction of the 
association. 
Crops & filar lifts. 
Saturday, August IS, 1888. 
Reports from the fruit-growing regions of 
New England, New York and Michigan show 
an enormous yield of grapes, short crops of 
pears and piums and a lull crop of peaches. 
According to the report of the Treasury De¬ 
partment at Washington, the export of wheat 
and flour from the United States for the past 
cereal year was equivalent to 116,000,000 
bushels of w heat. Sixty millions of people are 
supposed to have consumed 270,000,060 bush¬ 
els, or at the rate of 1)4 bushels per head. 
Fifty-three million bushels are estimated to 
have been used lor seed, and 10,000,000 bushels 
for animal food, starch, sizing, etc., making 
au aggregate of 449,0u0,000 bushels of 00 
S ounds. The crop of 1880-7 was estimated by 
[r. Dodge at 449,000,000 bushels by weight. 
The August report of the Department of 
Agriculture, issued a week ago, indicates a 
small advance in the condition of corn, from 
93 last month to 95.5. Rains have been gen¬ 
erally seasonable, though in excess in some 
districts and deficient in some others. In 
Kansas, the Carolinas, Delaware and New 
York, condition is reduced by local drought. 
In the Southwest, where drought sometimes 
occurs at this season, there has been an im¬ 
provement, and a large crop is already as¬ 
sured. in the corn surplus States high con¬ 
dition prevails, with some advance over the 
figures of last month. The percentage of the 
Stales of the central valleys are : Kentucky 
98, Ohio 98, Indiana 99, Illinois 90, Iowa 98, 
Missouri 94, Kansas 91, and Neoraska 90. 
There will be a heavy crop in this region, as 
is usually and naturally expected in a season¬ 
able year following one of extreme drought. 
High condition of maize also prevails in the 
northern border States and Territories, Dako¬ 
ta standing lowest at 84. Spring wheat has 
fallen from its high position of a month ago. 
The chinch bug stands at the head of the 
disasters reported, involving, more or less, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, 
and in places doing serious damage. High 
temperature, excessive rains, blights, rusts 
and the army worm are locally reported, 
evidently without seriously reducing the 
general condition. Dakota stands highest 
with an average of 91, a loss of 7 points. Re¬ 
ported yields run an extreme range, from a 
few bushels to 40 per acre. The reduction of 
the percentage in Minnesota is from 94 to 85; 
in Wisconsin from 91 to 83; in Iowa from 97 
to 84; in Nebraska from 95 to 84. The crop of 
Washington, Colorado, and other Territories, 
and of New England, is good, and fair in 
Northern Illinois, Northern New York, and 
in the higher latitudes or altitudes of winter 
wheat States. The general condition has been 
reduced from 95.9 to 87.3 during July. This 
exhibit does not include modifying changes in 
the first part of August. Harvest was about 
to commence in some districts, and in the 
others the grain would not be ready till the 
20th and 25th instant. There are no estimates 
of winter wheat after thrashing as yet, but 
voluntary remarks of reporters make the 
yield better than the early promise in all the 
States that produce much of a crop. Cases of 
heavy yields are reported. The changes that 
have occurred in the general average of other 
crops during the month are : Oats, from 
95.2 to91.7; barley, from 91to89: spring rye, 
from 90.8 to 91.4; Irish potatoes, from 95.7 to 
93.2. The buckwheat crop, first reported in 
August, averages in condition 92.5. 
There’s a big corner in August cotton. It 
closed on Monday night at 11.38 and 11.39, and 
opened at the first call on Tuesday morning 
at 11.45 and 11.48, and since then the price has 
advanced several points with semi-relapses. 
New England ipanufacturers are reported to 
be selling it at the lowest market price, which 
yields them a profit of about $7.50 a bale on 
their investment. It is claimed that there are 
27,000 bales now available on the other side 
for reshipment, and that already a large pro¬ 
portion of this amount is now on the way 
here from Liverpool to be ready to throw 
upon the market. Nevertheless, August cotton 
is now 1)4 to l%c. higher than September 
cotton. 
Arpad Haraszthy, the late president of tha 
California Board of Viticultural Commis¬ 
sioners, has filed a report with the Governor, 
containing a mine of information as to the 
present viticultural resources of the Slate and 
forecasts for the future. The production at 
the end of the third year from now are given as 
follows : One million five hundred thousand 
boxes of raisins at $2 a box, $3,060,000 ; 40.0(H) 
tons of table grapes at $30 per ton, $1,200,000; 
50 000,000 gallons of wine at 20 cents per 
gallon, $10,000,000; 1,500.000 tax-paid brandy 
at $1.40 per gallon, $2,000,000; total, $10,200, 
000. From 1875 to 1887. inclusive,.the ship¬ 
ments by sea to foreign countries amounted 
to $895,797 worth of wine and $84,169 worth 
of brandy. But in the same time the total 
wine shipments out of the State were valued 
at $21,025,045, and brandy shipments at $5,201, 
412. 
A dispatch from Sioux City says : Thirty- 
five representative points in Northeastern 
Nebraska show that wheat, oats, and all 
small grains are almost a total failure. Al¬ 
most continuous rain and the heavy wind and 
hail storms of the last week destroyed the 
little prospect which there was. Corn in that 
section will be in peril of the frost. 
Condensations from this morning’s Brad- 
street’s:—The exports of wheat and of flour as 
wheat from both coasts during the week ag¬ 
gregate 2,509,580 bushels, against 2,271,529 
bushels last week. One year ago the aver¬ 
age weekly export of wheat (and flour as 
wheat), both coasts, was about 4,000,060 
bushels, more than twice as much as the 
weekly average since July 1, last. Wheat is 
%c. and oats 2c. higher, and corn is %c. lower 
on the week. 
The President of the French Agricultural 
Society has made a report regarding the losses 
caused by the recent rains. He says that the 
hay has been destroyed and that the peasants 
have been compelled to kill their animals, be¬ 
ing unable to feed them. He also says that 
grain cannot ripen, that potatoes are rotting, 
and that the vintage this year will be inferior. 
He estimates the loss to agriculture at half a 
milliard francs, and says if the bad weather 
continues a month longer the crisis will extend 
to enormous dimensions. 
The London Times estimates the wheat crop 
of the United Kingdom at 53,600,000 bushels. 
A prominent Liverpool grain house writing to 
its correspondents places it at 64,000,000, and 
another dispatch from London states that the 
yield will be 20 per cent, below the average. 
Private cables from the continent are said to 
report the weather wet and cold. A still later 
caolegram puts the English wheat crop at 
fully one-third under that of 1887. Mr. Walter 
Del Mar, of E. L. Oppenheim & Co., London, 
cables the New York house as follows: “ Cold 
weather reported to be general. Rain report¬ 
ed in some sections. The crop indicated by 
the London.Times’ report is 54,750,000. The 
crop is of poor quality. Estimated import 
i equirements 20,060,000 quarters. Reliance 
can be placed on the report.”
