AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, July 14, 1888. 
Texas fever has appeared among cattle along 
the line of the Lake Erie and Western Rail¬ 
way in Indiana. Many valuablo animals have 
already died and much alarm prevails among 
the farmers. A week ago the shores of 
Wolf’s Island and Wilson’s Bay on the main¬ 
land were covered with potato beetles to the 
depth of several inches. They had been 
washed up by the waters of Lake Ontario in 
which they had been drowned while migrat¬ 
ing from one shore to the other. It has gener¬ 
ally been supposed that the pests never at¬ 
tempted such long flights. There will be 
a grand food exhibition in Albany, N. Y., in 
September. When the “oleo” men applied for 
space, the secretary referred the matter to 
Dairy Commissioner Brown, who decided that 
such an exhibit could not be allowed under 
the State law. The “oleo” men appealed to 
the State Attorney-General who ruled that 
according to the decision of the Court of Ap¬ 
peals “oleo” cannot be legally “made in sem¬ 
blance of butter” and that “it is a misde¬ 
meanor for a person to have any imitation of 
butter in his possession.” Hence all bogus but¬ 
ter is debarred from public exhibition in this 
Stato. The sorghum works at Topeka, 
Kansas, are about completed. The Company 
is reported to have $1,000,000 capital and is 
putting $200,000 into the works. It has con. 
traded for the product of 3,000 acres, and ex¬ 
pects to manufacture sugar as cheaply as any 
factory in the country.The Algerian Gov¬ 
ernment has expended $150,000 in its efforts 
to exterminate the plague of crickets which 
have been desolating th e country, and has 
$50,00 more of the appropriation yet to spend. 
Long trenches are (tug at right angles to the 
march of the advancing crickets, and on the 
further side high fences of cloth are stretched. 
The insects striking against these fall into 
the trench and aie covered with lime and 
killed. Caterpillars have so overrun the 
county of Kent, England, that the fruit 
farmers, whose products are ail eaten up 
are collecting them and selling them at 
$20 a sack as food lor pheasants .... Last 
Wednesday, after first disagreeing with the 
Senate's amendment to the Agricultural Ap¬ 
propriation Bill, appropriating $100,000 for 
sorghum-sugar experiments, the House finally 
agreed to the measure, and passed the bill, 
which then went to the President for approval. 
.Australia exported 22,379 bales of 
wool to the United Slates last year, the lar¬ 
gest total ever so shipped. '1 he average of the 
past 18 years has been 10,829. An inter¬ 
national horse show will be held in Paris next 
year, and $43,000 will be distributed in prizes. 
The clusses agreed upon are Thoroughbreds, 
Arabs, Anglo-Arabs, half breeds, cart horses, 
mules and donkeys.All over the coun¬ 
try the horse markets during the past two 
weeks have been extraordinarily dull... .... 
Among the exports from Mew York last week 
were 2,190 live cattle and 7,880 quarters of 
beef; while from Boston the exports were 018 
of the former and 900 of the latter.Two 
men are under arrest in Mercer county, Pa., 
tor poisoning cattle, by sprinkling Paris-green 
on the grass ... Reports from 33 round-up 
districts in Colorado, says the Montana Live 
Block Journal, show the cattle to be m an ex¬ 
cellent condition, and the loss last winter to 
have been unusually small. There are 
about 2,300 cases now before the Secretary of 
the Interior on appeal from the decisions of the 
Commissioner of the General Land Office. It 
is said that rapid progress is being mane m the 
disposition of these cases, as uppeals are now 
less frequent than formerly. The Assistant 
Attorney-General’s Ollice is now about fifteen 
months behind current work. A sam¬ 
ple of new Indiuua wheat, weighing (50 pounds 
to the bushel, showing a plump berry, but not 
quite as bright color as last year’s samples, 
was shown on the Produce Exchange here 
Thursday.The Eudicott pear tree 
planted ut fealem, Mass., by Governor John 
Endicott some time before 1(534, is still alive 
and will bear a fair crop of fruit this season.. 
The heat yesterday in Greece was unparallel¬ 
ed. The temperature stood at 104 degrees in 
the shade. Many deaths occurred. The cur¬ 
rant crop has been oamaged 25 per cent, of its 
value... . The California wine crop is esti¬ 
mated at 25,000,000 gulions, compared with 
17,000,000 last year.Professor Lazenby, 
Columbus, Uluo, sends us word that owing to 
the impossibility of naming a date convenient 
for meeting at Minneapolis, it has been decided 
to hold the annual meeting for Teachers of Ag¬ 
riculture and Horticulture at Cleveland, U., 
in connection with the meeting of the Bociety 
for the Promotion of Agricultural Science, 
und that of the American Association tor the 
Advancement of Bcience. The first session w ill 
beheld Monday, August 18th, 10 a. m., in the 
Central High Bchool Building.Mr. 
George F. Mills of Fonda, ex-president of the 
Mew York B ate Agricultural Bociety, has 
been appointed by Gov. Hill a member of the 
Board of Control ot the Btate Experiment Bta- 
tion in placeof Mr. J. B.Woodward,resigned.. 
Hiram Bibley, the great American seedsman 
and founder ot the Western Union Telegraph 
Company, died at Rochester, N. Y., at 10.45 
last Thursday morning. He had been in poor 
health lor several months and unable to at¬ 
tend to any business whatever. He leaves a 
widow, son and married daughter. Born in 
Morth Adams, Mass., in 1807; removed to Mew 
York when a young man. Connected with 
electric telegraph lines most of Ins life, and for 
1(5 years President of the Western Union, of 
which he was the chief founder. Being in poor 
health in 18(50, he sold out, and shortly utter- 
wards enguged in the seed business in Roches¬ 
ter and Chicago. His telegraphic business 
was extensive in Russia as well as here, and 
his seed business wus probably the largest in 
the country. He died many times a million¬ 
aire.Professor L. R. Taft, Professor of 
Horticulture in the Missouri Agricultural 
College, has accepted a similar position 
in the Michigan Agricultural College. His 
three years’ stay in the Missouri College 
has been highly satisfactory.

The San Francisco Daily News states that the 
reports from the country are of a nature to 
increase the estimates as to the yield of wheat 
in that State. The quality of the wheat is ex¬ 
cellent. . . . The annual report of the San

A report of the stocks of wheat shows that 
there are (575,000 bushels of win at in farmers’ 
hands in Minnesota, (550,000 bushels in Wis¬ 
consin and 400,000 bushels in Dakota. The 
totul in elevators in Minnesota and Dakota 
July 1 was 15,29(5,000 bushels, against 18,248,- 
000 bushels last year. The growing crop is a 
late one, and with weather at the best little 
will be done in new wheat before the latter 
part of August. It will he between July 15 and 
July 2(5 belore wheat will begin to head in the 
Morth, w hile in the middle and Southern parts 
of the State the head is just beginning to ap¬ 
pear in the more forward grain. 
The Kansas Farmer claims for that State 
the best wheat crop since 1881, estimating the 
yield at 22 bushels per acre; coin larger acreage 
than ever before, and capable of producing 
200,000,000 bushels with favorable weather_ 
The Cincinnati Price Current makes the 
total number of hogs packed at the West dur¬ 
ing the week 130,000 against 1(50, 000 the pre¬ 
ceding week, and 150,000 last year; tot til from 
March 1 to date 3,105,000 against 3,135,000 
a year ago. (Quality very good. 
Condensations from this morning’s Brad- 
streets: At New Orleans, Louisville, Kansas 
City, Bt. Louis aud Davenport, there has been 
some gain in the demand from the interior 
for staple goods and in the volume distributed. 
This improvement in all instances appears to 
be the result of encouraging crop reports. 
Advices from the Mississippi and Missouri 
River Vulleys wheat aud corn regions report 
large crops probable, and the interior mer¬ 
chants are much encouraged by renewed de¬ 
mands for staples. There is a lreer movement 
of wool in Michigan, aud the outlook for the 
Louisiana sugar ciop is improving. 
The Wool markets are still dull everywhere. 
In the country holders are asking higher 
prices than Eastern dealers are willing to pay. 
in Ohio and throughout the West geneially 
there is comparatively little activity. A mod¬ 
el ale increase in the movement ot Michigan 
wool is reported. Bhipments to some extent 
from the Territories are reported. Manufac¬ 
turers are buying only to satisfy current 
neeos. Owing to ilic uncertainty of Congres¬ 
sional legislation on wool they do not wish 
to stock up heavily. At Boston the 
receipts continue to run tar below last 
year’s. Current quotations are as follows,with

The 1 tai.ian W heat Harvest is in progress 
inthe earlier districts, it is expected the crop 
out put will be smaller and of poorer quality 
than last year, as seeding was effected under 
unfavorable conditions. Jf this shall prove to 
be so, Italy will be as large an importer of 
w beat in 1888 89 as in 1887-88. 
Mew Bouth Wales officially reports a di¬ 
minished wheat yield this year by 1,174,000 
bushels, hut Bouth Australia, Victoria and 
Mew Bouth Wales together have 10,000,000 
bushels mere surplus wheat this season thau 
last season, which can only be disposed of by 
export. 
Germany. —The weather the last week in 
June was cool lor the season. Following an 
abundant ruinfad there was a rise in the tem¬ 
perature with line summer-like weather, fav¬ 
orable for the cereal crops. At Hamburg, 
wheat was quiet, barley was steady, rye was 
iu buyers’ lavor. At Danzig wheat was slack 
and lower; rye dull. At Konigsburg wheat was 
low er to sell. 
Belgium. —Cereal crops have good promise. 
Rye wrs almost neglected. Wheat was iu 
buyers’ favor. Barley aud oats were quiet. 
Maize was cheaper. At Brussels wheat was 
quiet. The quantity of wheat on passage to 
Belgium June 29, 1888, was 9(50,(100 bushels, 
against 800,000 bushels in 1887. 
The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly re¬ 
view ot the Bluish grain trude, says: “Eng¬ 
lish wheat is steady. In the provincial ex¬ 
changes from (id to Is more is obtained. The 
sales of English wheat during the past week 
were 29,289 quarters at 31s 5a, agaiu&t 1(5,737 
quarters at 34s 2d during the corresponding 
week last year. Foreign wheat is stronger. 
Buyers are obliged to pay a fraction advance 
in values. BelJers at Liverpool have obtained 
an advance of Id per cental. 
The exports of breadstuff's from Bouthiru 
Russia during the coming autumu are expteted 
to bo enormous. Reports ironi Odessa indicate 
that the harvest will bo immense. 
Advices from India say that the crop pros¬ 
pects there are improving. The drought bus 
ceased and a famine is no longer feared, except 
iu Orissa, where no rain has yet fallen.

The “Burlington” is the only lino running 
sleeping ears 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.
