provementin methods of manufacture of cider 
and its various products—vinegar, jelly etc., 
and for making the acquaintance of others in 
the trade, will hold its sixth annual meeting 
in Chicago, the first week in December. L. S. 
Bryant, Secretary, Princeton, Ill., wants the 
name and address of every cider-maker in Illi¬ 
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas, 
and he will send a programme of the next 
convention to each of those who will send him 
their names and to all others whose names may 
be forwarded to him... Cattle in the English 
markets are selling from one and a half to two 
cents higher per 100 pounds than a year ago. 
The Department of Agriculture at Washing, 
ton, D. C., is at present compiling a directory 
of all active departments, boards, societies, 
colleges, granges, fair associations, farmers’ 
clubs, farmers’ alliances and other organiza¬ 
tions devoted to agriculture, horticulture, 
dairying, fruit culture, viticulture, forestry, 
stock-raising in all its several branches, fish- 
culture, bee-culture, silk-culture and like in¬ 
dustries. Our readers are requested to send 
the name and post office address of the secre¬ 
tary, also the address of any organization of 
a general agricultural character that may ex¬ 
ist in their districts, to Norman J. Colman, 
Commissioner of Agriculture, Washington, D. 
C. The directory will doubtless be a most 
useful work.The Farmer’s Review of 
Chicago estimates the total wheat crop of the 
country at 418,998,328 bushels this year, 
against 456,329,0 Olast year.Mexican dis¬ 
patches give an idea of the magnitude of the 
recent floods in Tecoluttla and Cazones. 
When the waters subsided dead cattle were 
found lodged in tree branches 35 feet above 
the ground. Great distress prevails in all of 
the flooded districts.It is said that there 
are 2,000,000 pouuds of hops going to ruin in 
Pierce and King Counties, Washington Terri 
tory, for want of some one to pick them. A 
local paper suggests that the public schools be 
closed for a fortnight to enable the children to 
pick.There is a blockade of 1,000 cars of 
rejected wheat at Minneapolis. The elevators 
refuse to accept it and the stuff stands on the 
track.... News from California states that the 
Chinese of that State have leased numerous 
large farms at Fresno, and are building a pack¬ 
ing house at Selma. This is an endeavor to 
head off the movement to supplant them with 
boys in picking and canning fruit, 
The 12th annual convention of the New York 
State Dairymen’s Association will be held at 
Oswego, Dec. 11, 12 and 13. Circulars of the 
meeting will be issued about Nov. 20. Joseph 
Shull Secretary.Persons joining now 
the American Association of Nurserymen, by 
remitting $2 to the Secretary, Mr. Chas. A. 
Green, Rochester, N. Y., will receive a copy 
of the new volume of proceedings, containing 
many valuable papers and discussions, por¬ 
traits of leading horticulturists, and four 
colored plates.Dr. Gunning, repre¬ 
sentative of the bond-holders of the Maxwell 
land grant, says that arrangements will 
shortly be made at Washington with the Gov¬ 
ernment to indemnify the settlers on the grant 
who bought their property when Secretary 
Cox of the Interior Department decided that 
the Maxwell grant was not a valid one. 
Assistant Secretary Maynard has informed 
the Collector of Customs at Ogdensburgh. 
N. Y., that maple sugar is dutiable as ‘‘all 
sugars,” under the provisions in Schedule E, 
that, is to say, if such sugar is not above 
No. 13. Dutch Standard, in color, it is rated 
for duty according to its polariscopic test, and 
if above No. 13 in color, then according to 
its color by the Dutch Standard. 
. .The recent Maine State fair shows a profit 
of $8,000, of which $5,000 are available for 
payment on the debt.J. W. Clark of 
North Hadley, a graduate of the Massachu¬ 
setts Agnculiural College, has been elected 
Horticulturist of the Missouri Agricultural 
College.The St. Paul Pioneer-Press 
estimates the wheat crop of Minuisoia and 
strength to the butter market. Prices on all 
grades of goods are either firmly held or 
slightly advanced. Extra Elgin sold yester¬ 
day at 26 to 26)£ cents and other choice 
brands of Western goods about the same 
prices. Meanwhile it is noticeable that 
the recent sharp advance has put an end to 
most of the speculative demand and greatly 
reduced the volume of exports. 
The prices recently quoted continue to be 
asked for cheese, though the domestic demand 
has fallen off to some extent and the export 
demand has not increased. Best September 
brands were quoted at 10% to 11 cents, the 
greater part of the sales being made at the 
lower price. 
Beerbohm estimates that the stock of flour 
and wheat in first hands in the United King¬ 
dom October 1, was equivalent to 16,000,000 
bushels wheat against 20,000,009, bushels same 
time last year. 
The New England Farmer says there will be 
an average crop of potatoes in New England, 
a yield below the average in New York State 
and not a fuff crop in the West. Rot is doing 
much damage to the late crop in the East. 
Prices range from 30 to 60 cents a bushel to 
tue farmers. A considerable Increase in acre¬ 
age and an excellent yield are reported in the 
Canadian provinces. The crop in Great 
Britain and Europe, whence came to this 
country during the last eight month over 3,- 
000,000 bushels, is short. The Homestead 
thinks that potatoes will advance to 75 cents 
per bushel at Boston and New York.

The “Burlington” is the only line running 
sleeping cars from Chicago to Denver without 
change. It is the only line by which you can 
go from Chicago to Denver and be but one 
night on the road. It is the picturesque line 
to St. Paul and Minneapolis. It runs daily 
“fast trains” to Kansas City, St. Joseph, 
Atchison, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, 
Cheyenne, and Denver.

It Is a Pity 
That any one should use the harsh and cruel 
barb wire, when the beautiful, safe and strong 
BUCK-THORN can be bad for about the same 
price. Write to the BUCK-THORN FENCE 
CO., Trenton, N. J., for circulars and samples. 
“ Delighted With It.” 
The Buck-Thorn is far ahead of all other 
wire fencing, and superior to the best of them 
because stock can see it at a distance, and so 
do not run into it and get injured, as is often 
the case with barb wire. It sells itself, and I 
am delighted with it.
