Saturday, August 3, 1889 
The weather for July, especially the closing 
days of the month, has been decidedly damp 
in most parts of the country, while some sec¬ 
tions have been visited by destructive torna¬ 
does and floods. Near Plainfield, N. J., July 
30, the mountain streams back of the city, 
burst several dams and swept down upon the 
residence portion of the town, destroying 
many fine buildings, and flooding the low¬ 
lands below. At Orange, N. J., the same 
causes produced similar results, much damage 
to crops on lowlands resulting in each case. 
The same morning a tornado struck a small 
hamlet four miles back from Highland, N. Y., 
and leveled houses and barns, orchards and 
vineyards to the ground, and people and stock 
were injured. One vineyard of 10 acres was 
swept clean of everything, and every tree in 
the orchard on the same farm was 
uprooted. Kingston, N. Y., reports the vast 
grape crop almost ruined. Pittsburg, Mass, re- 
g arts a flood which did much damage to crops. 
evere thunder storms with much damage to 
crops are reported from different parts of 
Arkansas. On the Delaware Peninsula the 
peach crop has been greatly injured. One 
dispatch tells of farmers wading in water up 
to their knees to pick peaches. Heavy losses 
of peaches and grapes are also reported 
from Michigan, and other localities Usually 
such reports are far in excess of the actual 
damage, and we trust this is the case now..., 
... .A Sweet Potato Trust is reported from 
Baltimore.Large quantities of apri¬ 
cots, prunes and peaches are being 
dried in California. 
Dairy Commissioner Thom of Wisconsin, has 
issued, for general circulation, a small 
pamphlet containing the laws whicn it is his 
duty to erforce.It is reported that, ow¬ 
ing to storms and low prices, 1,000,000 quarts 
of cultivated blackberries were left to rot on 
the vines along the Delaware and Maryland 
boundary line.The American Straw- 
beard Company has purchased the paper 
mills, at Lima, Ohio.An Indiana farmer 
was kicked by a steer aDd killed. The steers 
should be de-(or dis-Hegged.The ferti¬ 
lizer factory of E Raun & Sons, Indianapolis, 
Ind., was destroyed by fire. Loss, $50,000 on 
stock.Lady Baker, an Iowa Holstein- 
Friesian cow, is reported as making in the 
week June 14-2(1 th, 34 pounds six ounces of 
unsalted butter from 542.13 pounds of milk. 
To effectually silence all doubters, three affi¬ 
davits are appended to this statement. The 
cow was milked thrice daily. 
A mad dog bit several cows near Plainfield, 
N. J., recently, and a number of them have 
died of hydrophobia.Peaches are 
reported so plentiful in some parts of Texas 
that the market is glutted .Over 
6,000 boxes of cheese were soaked with water 
in the cellar of a Chicago warehouse last Sat¬ 
urday night. As the water had previously 
scoured the dirty city streets, the condition 
of the cheese can be better imagined than de¬ 
scribed.Large areas of laud in Austra¬ 
lia formerly unlit for stock raising, have been 
rendered available for that purpose by means 
of artesian wells.The use of straw 
for making an interior finish to take the place 
of lath and plaster is suggested.West¬ 
ern railways have made a change in the mini¬ 
mum weight on car-lots of live stock, that is 
favorable to the farmer and shipper. Under 
the old order cars 30 feet long, and under¬ 
loaded with cattle, were charged at not less 
than20,000 pounds; now the minimum is 19,- 
000 pounds for 31 feet and under. 
The Statistician of the Department of Agri¬ 
culture estimates the total value of oxen aud 
other cattle—as contrasted with dairy stock 
—in the United States to be $14,513,708 less 
than the value of the same stock at the time 
of closing his report last year. Dairy stock 
has maintained its value.The Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture has selected seven vari¬ 
eties of winter wheats for general distribu¬ 
tion. Three are new, that is, have had only a 
local reputation, while three are well known 
in some States, and uuknown in others where 
they will be distributed exclusively. Five 
varieties have also been ordered from France, 
three being of southern origin, which will be 
distributed to the Southern experiment sta¬ 
tions. The other two are wheat crosses by 
Vilmorin, and will be distributed to the 
Northern experiment stations.The to wn 
board of Corydon, Indiana, has passed 
an ordinance forbidddmg horses, cattle 
or hogs to run at large under a pen¬ 
alty of $10 for each offense. 
Incendiaries have tired h number of farm 
barns in different parts of Indiana. 
California fruits are sold at auction in Cuica- 
go, Boston, Kansas City, and other cities as 
well as New York.Delaware farm¬ 
ers are reported to be sowing large quantities 
of buckwheat. .Three-year-old colts now have 
a better record than four-year-olds, the best 
record in the latter class being Mauzauita’s 
2.10, against Axtell’s 2.15: Tae fastest five 
year-old record is 2:10% by Jay-Eye-Bee.... 
The Nelson County Agricultural Associatieu 
will hold their 24th exhibition at their grounds 
near Bardstown, Ky. September 3-0, A. R.

A Sweet Potato Trust has been organized in 
Baltimore.Last week there were ship¬ 
ped from this port by foreign steamers 3,810 
head of live cattle, 8,480 quarters of beef, and 
47 live sheep. Shipments from other ports 
for the same time were, Boston, 2,710 live 
cattle aud 5,591 quarters of beef; Philadelhia, 
1,588 quarters of beef; Baltimore, 220 live 
cattle; Montreal, 5,025 liv<> cattle aud 5,849 
live sheep. Total receipts in this city last

calves, 44,570 sheep, aud 29,574 swine. 
The Philadelphia Board of Health has been 
prosecuting milk-men for adulterating milk. 
One sample was 18 per cent, water.... At Sar¬

with all the symptoms of hydrophobia ran 
througu the streets of Chicago, and bit two 
men aud eight horses betore he was shot. 
.... A farmer near Ithaca, N. Y. attempted to

Crops & iilarlirts. 
Saturday, August 3, 1889. 
Reports from the West and Northwest say 
that winter wheat thrashing is progressing 
very slowly on account of the wet weather; 
but that where it has been done, the yield has 
been better than was expected. Much depends 
upon the weather for the next few days. It 
is impossible to make any estimate of the 
spring wheat, as harvest has just begun. The 
crop is very uneven. 
The wheat market is dull. Cable advices 
say that the Hungarian crop is short, but 
Hungary will carry over considerable old 
wheat; that Russia has an abundance of old 
wheat, and that France will need to import 
but little. The Australian crop is short. The 
visible supply east of the Rocky Mountains is 
12,134,511 bushels against 22,190,501 bushels 
one year ago. Receipts at all points are 
smaller than at the corresponding time last 
year, and 1887. Taking everything into ac¬ 
count, and also the fact that stocks of flour 
are well cleaned up, it is difficult to see why 
the price of wheat should not be well main¬ 
tained, it not materially advanced. 
Oats are the heaviest crop known in years. 
The weather has generally been very unfav¬ 
orable for harvesting, and the crop has been 
injured to quite an extent. This in connec¬ 
tion with the poor outlook for corn will tend 
to strengthen prices, although the stocks on 
baud are reported to be more than double 
those on hand one year ago. 
Corn prospects are poor, and are growing 
worse in many places. In some localities 
there has been no regular corn weather since 
the crop was planted, and wet weather has 
hindered or prevented cultivation so the crop 
is likely to fall below an average. Stocks 
reported on hand are less than one-half what 
they were at this time last year. Good corn 
will be good property to have for some time 
to come. 
Barley is uncertain, and it is difficult to say 
what tne prospect is. The only certain thing 
about it is the very rainy weather all through 
harvest, which has damaged the crop consid¬ 
erably. 
Rye has not been an extra crop, and the 
teudency of prices is upward both for grain 
and straw. 
Potatoes are rotting badly in some local¬ 
ities, but it is impossible to cell whether the 
crop will be materially injured. At present, 
prices are somewhat higher here, because tho 
weather has been unfavorable for digging, 
aud the supply has been considerably re¬ 
duced. Prices will probably be good later in 
the season. 
The market is well supplied with vegetables 
of all kinds, but prices are unsettled, and the 
prospect uncertain 
Large quantities of fresh fruits are arriving 
from California, but there is quite a falling 
off in receipts from Georgia aud other 
Southern States. It has been terrible weather 
to handle fruits, as it has been almost impos¬ 
sible to gather them. They also decay very 
rapidly m tne hot and humid atmosphere. A 
ship arrived during the week with 18,773 cases 
of California canned fruit. 
The first bale of new foreign hops reached 
this city during the week, more than a week 
in advance of tne earliest previous receipts. 
Reports from the rice-growing States, 
promise a heavy yield of very flue quality, 
unless something intervenes between now ami 
harvest. The prospect was never better at 
this time. 
The butter market is overstocked with 
everything but the best grades. Good butter 
is in good demand. It doesn’t have to look 
around and coax buyers. They are looking 
for it. 
Prominent men in the fruit trade repre¬ 
senting various sections of the country met 
in this city, August 1, and organized “ The 
Florida Orange Growers’ and Dealers’ Pro¬ 
tective Association.” Its object is to improve 
the existing methods of picking, packing, 
shipping and marketing the fruit. The asso¬ 
ciation proposes to establish an office in Jack¬ 
sonville from which full telegraphic reports 
of the condition of the market shall be sent 
daily to every shipping point in Florida, to¬ 
gether with any other information of value to 
growers. It will also endeavor to secure 
lower freight rates, and facilities for better 
and more rapid transportation. The Penn¬ 
sylvania road agrees to run a train from Jack¬ 
sonville to New York in 72 hours. Tne prime 
mover in this new departure is Mr. E. L. 
Goodsell, a well-known dealer, who favors the 
auction system of disposing of the crop. 
The Committee on Organization embraces 
representatives from New York, Boston, 
Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, 
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburg.
