pressed that this is the first outbreak of a civil 
war.Last year there were paid as com¬ 
pensation by local authorities in Great Britain 
for cattle slaughtered on account of pleuro¬ 
pneumonia the following sums: For diseased 
cattle, £21,450; for healthy cattle in contact, 
£22,913. On account of swine slaughtered 
owing to swine-fever the sums paid were: £15- 
836 for diseased swine, and £6 541 for healthy 
swine in contact, making a total drain on the 
counti y caused by these diseases amounting 
to £6(5,746. .. 
The Senate has passed the Agricultural Ap¬ 
propriation Bill,including amendments appro¬ 
priating $20,800 for the benefit of Dr Loring, 
who was made responsible for inadvertent use 
of funds for seeds, which should have been de¬ 
voted to other purposes, and appropriating 
$100,000 for the continuance of the sorghum 
sugar experiments. At Dartmouth Col¬ 
lege, New Hampshire, the corner-stone of the 
Agricultural Experiment Station will be laid 
on Tuesday, Juue 26, and a large assemblage 
of farmers is expected.A South Caro¬ 
lina farmer recently found specimens of two 
kinds of strange grasses in his meadow, and 
sent them to the State Agricultural Depart¬ 
ment for classification. Tne officials were un¬ 
able to name the gr sses and sent them on to 
Washington, and they proved to be Timothy 
and Red Top!.Rev. E. P. Roe, novel¬ 
ist and horticulturist, entertained 39 members 
of the Authors’ Club of this city, at his fine 
place at Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, Saturday. 
.The selling of potatoes by measure is 
protested against by the farmers in the Prov¬ 
inces, especially on Prince Edward’s Island. 
They demand the adoption of the legal stand¬ 
ard of 60 pounds per bushel. This is the legal 
weight established in most of the States of the 
Union . At the closing exercises at the 
Mass. Agricultural College at Amherst last 
Tuesday, 19 young men graduated. Pres. 
Goodell has been induced to withdraw his 
resignation, and is to continue in service. 
William P. Brooks of the class of ’75, now 
at the head of the Agricultural College in Sap¬ 
poro, Japan, was chosen to fill the chair of 
Professor of Agriculture, made vacant by 
the resignation of Maj. H. E. Alvord. Two 
other Professorships, those of Veterinary 
Science and English Literature, are needed 
for a full equipment, but the Trustees lack the 
funds. The college was probably never in bet¬ 
ter shape for instruction and usefulness than 
now, and the recent special endowments of the 
government have given it energy and 
strength. Five-car loads of Grangers with 
their wives and children came from the 
east and others from other points of the com¬ 
pass. Six horses, 50 cattle, 25 sheep and 12 
swine are about the farm stock. The Perch- 
eron is the foundation for horses. The cattle 
of Shorthorn, Holstein, Guernsey, Jersey and 
Ayrshire breeds are increasing by natural 
processes. The sheep are South Downs, and 
the swine Chesters. David H. Wright is the 
head farmer and leads the van in work.

Saturday, June 23,1888, 
The report of the State Board of Agricul¬ 
ture of Illinois states that the crops in all 
parts of the State where the late rains oc¬ 
curred have made good growth, and the out¬ 
look in the main is more favorable. The con¬ 
dition of the crops is, however, far from en¬ 
couraging in all the Southern counties, ex¬ 
cepting in a few localities. The serious dam¬ 
age resulting from the drought and the pres¬ 
ence of the army-worms, chinch-bugs and cut¬ 
worms in the Southern divisiou of the State 
have largely reduced the prospects for grain 
and grass crops. The reports received to this 
date indicate the presence of locusts in alarm- 
iug numbers in several localities in the North¬ 
ern portion of the State. 
The visible supply of grain in the United 
States and Canada (east of the Pacific slope) 
for the week ending June 16, as compared 
with the previous week, shows a decrease in 
wheat of 506,117 bushels, an increase in corn 
of 1,314,448 bushels, and an increase in oats of 
439,687 bushels. 
The Minneapolis Tribune crop reports state 
that prospects for wheat in Dakota and Min¬ 
nesota are very good and the acreage larger 
than last year. A Jamestown, Dakota,dispatch 
says rain fell very generally throughout Da¬ 
kota last week and the ground is in the best 
condition for crops since 1884 
The German Government has issued a cir¬ 
cular regulating the sale of wheat on the Pro¬ 
duce Exchange and fixing the normal weight 
of rye at a scale of 72 kilos per hectolite in¬ 
stead of 70 kilos, as at present. The circular 
refers to quality and weight for future 
delivery and comes into force on October 1. 
Dealings are forbidden in Russian rye for fu¬ 
ture delivery. The circular has caused great 
excitement on the Exchange. 
A Baltimore commission house writes: “The 
best crop prospects in this section ever known, 
and Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North 
Carolina, Delaware and West Virginia will 
harvest 64,000,000 bushels of wheat, against 
34.000,000 last year. 
On his return from the West a week ago, 
Jay Gould said that crops were in fine condi¬ 
tion and promised large yields throughout 
Kansas and Nebraska, and indeed all through 
the States west of the Missouri River. In In¬ 
diana and Illinois the wheat crop is practically 
a failure, due, he says, to the weather and that 
the ground is wearing out. Corn seems to be 
more successful than wheat. He says that the 
.condition of affairs agreeably surprised him 
and that he returned home satisfied and much 
more encouraged than when he went away. 
Condensations from this morning’s Brad- 
street’s: Reports of exports for this week, 
both coasts, show a total of 1,200,207 bushels 
of wheat (and flour as wheat) shipped, one- 
third less than last week. For 51 weeks the 
total exported is 119,447,000 bushels, and for 
the crop year ending J uue 30, Bradstreet’s re¬ 
ports loreshadow a total of about 121,000,000 
bushels of wheat (and Hour as wheat) sent 
abroad, as compared with 153,800,000 for the

year ended June 30,1887, a decline of 32,800,- 
000 bushels, about 20 per cent. Less than 22,- 
000,000 bushels of Indian corn will have been 
exported during the year ended next Saturday, 
against over 40,000,000 exported in the preced¬ 
ing 12 months. 
In Western Kentucky the tobacco crop is all 
pitched and growing finely under good rains. 
In the central aud eastern part of the State 
dry weather has prevented a full planting so 
far. At Kansas City, Omaha and at St. Louis 
hog products have been dull and lower, except 
pork. Western cattle markets have weakened 
and demand is light. 
Arrivals of new wool from the country are 
growing larger as the season advances, and 
yet the movement has reached no considerable 
proportions. Comparatively little is doing in 
Texas, and prices there are weaker. The qual¬ 
ity of the clip in that State appears to be very 
good. Purchases of some extent for general 
consumption are reported at San Francisco. 
In Ohio and the adjoining States the season is 
backward. Prices in the country generally, 
though not up to last year’s, are still too high 
to stimulate buying, in view of the uncertainty 
which characterizes the situation at the points 
of consumption. 
Manufacturers are buying more or less from 
week to week to keep their machinery in oper¬ 
ation, but are not stocking up for the future. 
At the London sales, which began on Tues¬ 
day, competition has been active aud a buoy¬ 
ant spirit prevails. The continental buyers 
are especially ready. All descriptions of wool 
are firm, and Merinos are selling 1 ct. per 
pound higher than at the close of the last 
series. Cross-breds have also advanced slight¬ 
ly. 
New wool is arriving to some extent at Bos¬ 
ton, and. as the stocks of old wool are greatly 
reduced and broken, manufacturers are tak¬ 
ing it without hesitation for their present 
needs. The holders, in turn, are quite willing 
to sell at present values. Fine Ohio wool is 
in better request on account of the diminished 
supply. Prices are steady at last week’s quo¬ 
tations, with a moderate amount of business 
under way. Current quotations are as fol¬ 
lows, in comparison with last year and the 
year before:

Here are some foreign reports:— 
Australasia.— The wheat shipments from 
Melbourne to England during May, 1888, 
were 816,000 bushels wheat aud 100 tons of 
flour equal to 3,733 bushels of wheat. The avail¬ 
able export surplus of South Australasia and 
Victoria is estimated at 17,161,333 bushels of 
wheat: probably too large an estimate. 
Roumanta. —The recent rainfalls were not 
necessary for either winter or spring wheat, 
but were beneficial to the maize crop. The 
prospects for fruits are poor. Tiie wheat 
crop of Europe will not probably be so large 
as in 1887 from present indications. 
Austro-Hungarian Corn Corner.—A 
great many Austrian land-owners have now, 
June 8, joined the ring for buying up all the 
maize in the country and keeping up its price. 
The association now commands a capital of 
7,1)00,000 to 8,000,000 florins. The prospects 
for the cereal crops in Hungary are 
very far from satisfactory. VV neat the 
first week in June was reported in bad condi¬ 
tion od account of the drought in May. Rye 
is reported very poor, which will give a bad 
harvest everywhere. The barley crop is also 
most unsatisfactory. 
France. —There are still some apprehen¬ 
sions in regard to the French wheat crop, but 
they are not of sufficiently convincing force 
to cause an advance in values. The farm¬ 
ers’ deliveries still continue fair and at prices 
that meet the views of French millers. 
Have you ever thought of the enormous quan¬ 
tity of breadstuff's on passage—that is at sea- 
on the way to the United Kingdom every day 
of the year? Well, just think of it The fol¬ 
lowing is a brief statement of the quantity on 
passage from the principal surplus-producing 
countries on Juue 9, 1888. The total amount 
according to Bradstreet’s, was 19,928,000 bush¬ 
els, against 14,732,000 bushels a year ago, in¬ 
cluding from Azov and Black Sea aud the 
Danube, 844,000 bushels, against 112,000 bush¬ 
els a year ago; from Atlantic ports 812,000 
bushels, against 1,824,000 bushels a year ago; 
8,512,000 bushels from California and Oregon, 
against 4,572,000 bushels a year ago; from 
British India 2,736,000 bushels, against 2,344, 
000 bushels a year ago; from Chili 1,760,000 
bushels, against 1,902.000 bushels a year ago; 
from Australasia 4,680,000 bushels, against 1 ,- 
840,000 bushels a year ago; from Argentine 
Republic 480,000 bushels, against 532,000 bush¬ 
els a year ago; aud from sundries 54,000 bush¬ 
els against 1,588,000 bushels a year ago, being 
chiefly for quantities off coast. 
The quantity of wheat and flour on passage 
Juue 20, 1888, is 20,000,000 bushels, including 
19,072,000 bushels to the United Kingdom and 
4,928 bushels to the continent of Europe. A 
considerable amount of the grain and flour on 
passage to the United Kingdom, on arrival 
there, is ordered to other countries, even be¬ 
fore the vessels can be anchored. 
The Mark Lane Express in its review of the 
British grain trade during last week says: The 
supplies of English wheats are growing loss; 
values are unchanged. The sales of English 
wheat for the week were 39,666 quarters at31s 
7d per quarter, against 39,737 quarters at 35s 
Id for the corresponding week last year. The 
wheat crop prospects are less promising, but 
the potato crop will be unusually good, aud 
this, together with the large stocks left over, 
will lulluenctfthe trade in breadstuff’s. Fiour 
is 3d cheaper. The trade in foreign wheat is 
slow. Liverpool values dropped 3d per cental, 
aud in business on tne American plan prices 
were fid lower both at Loudon aud Liverpool. 
Corn, barley aud oats are in moderate supply 
aud steady. Linseed is a fraction cheaper. 
The week’s packing in the West has been 
210,000 hogs, against 215,000 last week, and 
220,000 last year, making a total of 2,615,-000 
hogs since March 1. against 2,660,000 a year 
ago—decrease, 65.000, according to-the Cin¬ 
cinnati Price Current. Prices of hogs have 
been irregular in some of the leading markets 
during the week, noticeably so at Chicago, the 
extreme prices of the week not being sustained 
at the close, although as compared with a 
week ago, that market closed with an advance 
of 15 cents per 100 pounds, other markets not 
showing much change. The export move¬ 
ment was fair, about equaling in value the 
corresponding time last year, in both meats 
and lard. It is difficult to determine what 
influence the prosecutions in England for sell¬ 
ing refined lard which contained mixtures, 
as pure lard, will have on our markets, but it 
is not anticipated that the effect will be im¬ 
portant. Trials of three Liverpool firms act¬ 
ing as* agents for American lard refiners 
(Armour and Fairbank) resulted in a fine being 
imposed in each case. 
In every community there area number of 
men whose whole time is not occupied, such as 
teachers, ministers, farmers’ sons and others. 
To these classes especially we would say, if 
you wish to make several hundred dollars dur¬ 
ing the next few mouths, write at once to B. 
F. Johnson & Co., of Richmond, Va., and they 
will show you how to do it.— Adv.
