4888 
been registered in the United States alto¬ 
gether. Very likely at least over one-third of 
these have died or gone into “ innocuous de¬ 
suetude,” so that there are hardly 30,000 
registered Jerseys in all the States and Terri¬ 
tories of the Union. The office of the Jersey 
Cattle Club is No. 1 Broadway, this city. At its 
20th annual meeting the other day the Club 
voted to abolish, the office of Official Tester, 
called a general meeting of Jersey breeders for 
the day before the next annual meeting, and 
fixed $2 as the price of each volume of the 
Herd Register, beginning with volume 24. 
Since January 1,113 Oranges have been or¬

Pasteur’s recipe for killing the Australian 
rabbits with chicken cholera has failed. The 
rabbits inoculated showed no signs of disease. 
.The principal amendments made by 
the Senate to the Agricultural Appropriation 
Bill are for Orass Experiment Stations an ad¬ 
dition of $22,000; expenses of Silk Culture 
Stations, $5,000; sorghum experiments, $100,- 
000; investigation of peach yellows, $10,000. 
Of the $590,000 for Experiment Stations $5,000 
may be used by the Commissioner of Agri¬ 
culture in facilitating the work of the Stations 
and collecting the results. The appropriation 
of $500,000 for the Bureau of Animal Industry 
is on the same terms as last year, the Palmer 
bill being dead. An appropriation of $15,000 
was considered enough for more investiga¬ 
tions into hog cholera. The House must con¬ 
cur in the Senate amendments, and then the 
bill will go to the President who, it is con¬ 
fidently believed, will sign it. 
Dehorner Haaff has started a paper in Chicago 
called “-The Dehorner,” with the motto, “The 
horns must go.” He goes in strongly for pro¬ 
hibition also.William George, pro¬ 
prietor of the hotel at Spring View, Nebraska, 
died in terrible agony the other day. On June 
6 the State Vetei inarian shot a valuable blood¬ 
ed horse George had owned, because it was af¬ 
flicted with glanders. In caring for it George 
contracted the disease. The horse snorted and 
threw the poisonous pus over his head, face, 
arms and hands. Every spot of flesh it touched 
developed into an ulcer. For two weeks he 
suffered untold agony, none of the local doc¬ 
tors being able to toll the character of the dis¬ 
ease until the arrival of the State Veterinar¬ 
ian. Mr. George’s last hours were spent in 
the most terrible contortions and sufferings, 
the poison having secured such a hold on his 
system tnat relief was an impossibility. This 
is a specimen of frequent cases. 
Dr. Jno. Fleming, Chief Veterinarian of the 
English Army, has recently cured “roaring"’ 
in a horse by an operation on the larynx. Tms 
is said to be the greatest acnievement and 
tbe most important in its results that veter¬ 
inary surgery has ever been able to boast of.. 
Representative Weaver, of Iowa, charges 
that when the Republicans demand the re¬ 
peal of all internal taxation, they include 
the tax upon oleomargarine, which tne 
last Congress imposed for the protection of 
the farmers. Is this thus?.A Dairy 
Conference, under the auspices of the N. Y. 
Dairymen’s Association and the Charlton Ag¬ 
ricultural Society, will be held at Kirby 
Homestead, in Charlton, Saratoga Co., N. Y., 
on July 11 next, at 1 p. M., to illustrate but¬ 
ter-making. All persons interested in the 
business a^e invited to attend. 
Jonathan Periam has been appointed to the 
editorship of the Prairie Farmer, vice Orange 
Judd, resigned. A good selection.A 
resolution has been introduced into the Loui¬ 
siana Legislature, at Baton Rouge, instruct¬ 
ing the Attorney-General to bring suit against 
the American Cotton Oil Trust. The object 
of the suit is to break up the combination and 
place the companies in the hands of receivers. 
Xhe resolution sets forth that the Trust is 
arbitrarily fixing the price of agricultural 
products, and tnereby injuring farmers and 
planters, and destroying all competition by 
threatening to break up any new mills which 
may be built in the State. A bill to the same 
effect has been presented to the House, and 
will probably pass both that and the senate 
.At a recent meeting of the Trustees 
of Cornell University, the Departments of 
Agriculture, Chemistry, Botany, Entomol¬ 
ogy, Horticulture and Veterinary Science, 
were united under the head of the “ Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture of Cornell Uni¬ 
versity,” and Prof. Roberts was elected 
Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture. 
It is said that a Milk Trust is to be attempted 
by the dairymen of the Schuylkill Valley, 
who are to begin by advancing prices one- 
third .T. A. Forbes, State Entomologist 
of Illinois, has reported to the State Board of 
Agriculture that the so-called “snout beetles” 
or “bill bugs,” hitherto unknown as injurious 
insects, are damaging corn planted on newly 
drained swamp lauds and low marsh prairies. 
He suggests the seeding of such laud to other 
than corn crops for the first year as a possible 
means of exterminating the pest. 
At the sale of Haggin’s yearling colts in this 
city the other day, King Thomas, bay colt 
by King Ban, out of Maud Hampton (brother 
of King Fox and Ban Fox), was sold to Mr. 
Appleby for $38,000. Senator Hearst, of Cali¬ 
fornia also bid for him, and next day got him 
from Appleby for $40,000—the highest price 
ever paid for a yearling in this country or 
any other. Sixty-four yearlings were sold 
for $113,275—an average of $1,754 each. 
Weather favorable to crops in Belgium. In 
Holland, somewhat short. Rye especially 
complained of in Germany, being stunted and 
thin, indicating a short yield; wheat not so 
unfavorable. In Austria, wheat in fair 
promise, rye deficient. In Hungary, all grain 
more or less deficient. In Southern Russia, 
grain crops reported favorably. In England, 
wheat backward, and expected to fall below 
an average yield. 
The State Board of Agriculture of Illinois 
states that there has been a decided improve¬ 
ment during the past week in the condition of 
crops of that State. The crops have been 
greatly benefited by recent copious showers 
and the prevailing high temperature. The 
condition of winter wheat in the central 
counties gives encouragement for about an 
average yield. In the leading winter wheat 
counties in the southern division of the State 
the prospect is more encouraging than last 
week, owing to the rains, which have largely 
reduced the number of chinch bugs that have 
so seriously threatened the crop. Winter 
wheat harvest is well advanced in the south¬ 
ern counties, and considerable cheat is present 
in many localities. The prospect of the corn 
crop is better, and the condition is nearly up 
to a seasonable average. 
The first official crop report of Colorado is 
just out, and it shows that Alfalfa is the lead¬ 
ing crop, being represented by 250,000 acres, 
while corn has an acreage of 225,000 and oats 
of 200,000. 
The Northwest has had a period of ten or 
twelve days of extremely hot, forcing weath¬ 
er. This came at a time when it was abso¬ 
lutely needed, and coming so timely and when 
the earth was filled with moisture, has made 
a most favorable change in the outlook. 
Nevertheless, all crops are still backward. 
The spring wheat, which during the hot 
weather of last week was subjected to a 
severe ordeal, has picked up amazingly. 
The harvest line is now steadily and slowly 
advancing northward, but the weather has 
been wet, particularly in Southern Illinois 
and in Missouri. 
Crop reports from N. J. say the small 
fruit crop in Sussex County is a total failure 
this year. There are no plums, pears or ber¬ 
ries, but lots of peaches, and the farmers are 
expecting a big revenue from this source. 
The growing onion crop is being seriously dam¬ 
aged in Warren County by a destructive 
worm. Reports have been received to the 
effect that the large fields of onions near Ox¬ 
ford and at the Great Meadows may be en¬ 
tirely destroyed. 
Crop prospect for corn in Eastern Colorado, 
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, could 
not look better. In Western Kansas, where 
they had a failure last year, the outlook is re¬ 
ported to be superb. The roads are muddy in 
Colorado and good corn is to be seen in the 
eastern part of the State grown without irri¬ 
gation. The wheat crop is much improved and 
the grass crop is something wonderful. Even 
the high hills between Kansas and the Rocky 
Mountains are green with grass. 
The Cincinnati Frice Current makes the to¬ 
tal packing of hogs at the West during the 
past week 185,000, against 210,000 the preced¬ 
ing week and 165,000 for the corresponding 
week of last year. The total since March 1— 
2,815,000, against 2,825,000 same time last year. 
Bradstreet’s condensations this morning: 
No. 2 rod wheat closed at 89c. delivered, or 
%c. lower on the week. Corn closed at 54c. 
delivered, a decline of %c. Oats closed at 35c. 
% to l^c. higher on the week. At St. Louis, 
Kansas City and Omaha cattle prices tend 
downward and the markets are dull. There 
is a good demand for hogs at the cities last 
named, with lighter offerings but no mater¬ 
ial change in prices. The week’s rains have 
furnished an excellent planting and growing 
season for tobacco, and the Kentucky crop is 
doing well, except in the burley district, where 
successive delays and short supply of plants 
have reduced the planting to about two-thirds 
of contemplated acreage. 
Arrivals of wool at the seaboard continue 
small. Dealers are unwilling to make as large 
advances as in former years. Leading houses, 
indeed, assert that prices in Ohio and the ad¬ 
joining States are not less than 2c. higher than 
Eastern values warrant paying. There is some 
activity in California, and a good deal of wool 
is now coming east from that state and Texas. 
The attendance of buyers at the London 
sales is large, demaud is active and prices are 
firm. Choice lots sell readily at full values, 
but the offerings on the whole are not so per¬ 
fect as at the last series. 
At Boston, the chief wool market, current 
quotations are as follows in comparison with
