boast that they have the oldest poplar 
in France, but just how old it is no one 
knows. It is 122 feet high, 45 feet in circum- 
frrence at the base, and 23 feet in circum¬ 
ference 15 feet from the base. 
There are over 300,000 bee-keepers in Amer¬

* Commission des Haras” upon the work of 
the past year states that 118,344 mares of all 
breeds were served during 1*87 by the 2,500 
stallions left at the 22 government depots, and 
that 58,953 were served by 1,240 private stal¬ 
lions with certificates of soundness, the aver¬ 
age number of services being 48 for the gov¬ 
ernment and 47 for the private stallions. 
. The summer packing season ended with a 
deficit of 540,000 hogs as compared with last

Owing to the glut of American apples, Eng¬ 
lish orchardists complain that they cannot

ification of American apples has begun. 
Saturday, November 10, 1888. 
The Cincinnati Price Current estimates the 
peanut crop of this year at 2,600 000 bushels, 
against 3,780,000 bushels in 1887. The total 
consumption in the year ending Sept. 30, 1888, 
was 3,762,950 bushels; on hand at that date 
from crop of 1887, 589,875 bushels, making a 
total supply of only 3,189,875 bushels for the 
current year. 
The political excitement, which has ab¬ 
sorbed everything in the Northwest during 
the last fourteen days, has caused farmers to 
neglect their work. O f course, the crops grow, 
but they do not move out of farmers’ hands, 
and the corn crop, too, so far as its gathering 
is concerned, stands still. 
Corn is green and uncured, and what little 
has been gathered spoils with weather like the 
present. Winter wheat, on the other hand, 
has gained ground decidedly, but it is yet late 
and backward. 
The Maik Lane express, in its review of the 
British grain trade says: The young wheats 
above ground show a full plant. Sound 
parcels of native wheat are Od to Is dearer 
per quarter; damp parcels are 6d to Is lower. 
The sales of English wheat during the week 
were 61,912 quarters at 32s 3d, against 66,807 
quarters at 30s during the corresponding 
period last year. The present price is at the 
rate of 97X cts. per bushel or 4j^ cts. per 
bushel higher than a year ago. Flour is 
quiet and steadier. The off-coast wheat supply 
is restricted. The sales show that 42s to 
42s 3d have been paid tor Australian; 42s 9d 
for Californian, and 63s 6d for Oregonian.

From the N. Y. Times: 
“The Rural New-Yorker has done more 
to promote the true interests of agriculture in 
the way of experimenting, than all of the ex¬ 
periment stations put together.” 
From the N. Y. Tribune of Feb. 1, 188»: 
“The Rural New-Yorker is a paper which 
during its nearly 39 years of life has done 
vastly more for farming than nine-tenths of 
all the land-grant colleges and experiment 
stations, whose chief business is underdrainage 
of taxpayers.” 
From the N. Y. Sun: 
“The Rural New-Yorker is one of the 
ablest and best papers on rural affairs in all 
America. It is thoroughly practical in every 
department, anti its constaut efforts in the in¬ 
troduction of new seeds, plants, and imple¬ 
ments after the most careful tests commend it 
to the confidence of every tiller of the soil.” 
From the Farm Journal , Philadelphia, Pa: 
“The Rural New-Yorker is the best farm 
weekly in the world.” 
From the Inter-Ocean , Chicago, III.: 
“Readers of the Inter-Ocean do not need to 
be told that the Rural New-Yorker is one 
of the best horticultural and farm weeklies 
published.” 
From the N. Y. World: 
“The Rural New-Yorker is the best agri¬ 
cultural paper in the country.” 
From Josepn Harris, Moreton Farm, N. Y.: 
“The fact is, you are doing more for agri¬ 
cultural and horticultural science than all the 
experiment stations combined.”
