4GRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturday, August 24,1889, 
The Argentine Republic has addressed 
a formal invitation to the United States Gov¬ 
ernment to take part in the second Interna¬ 
tional Cattle Show of the Argentine Agricul¬ 
tural Society to be held at Buenos Ayres next 
April, under the auspices of the Govern¬ 
ment. The show opens April 20, and 
closes May 11. Prizes of $2,500 each 
will be given for various essays on prac¬ 
tical subjects connected with Argentine agri¬ 
culture. Arrangements will be made for ex¬ 
hibiting the principal breeds of cattle, sheep 
aDd swine, and agricultural products and im¬ 
plements. The competition in live stock and 
machinery is to be international, while 
that in agricultural products is to be 
exclusively national. 
It is estimated that the Rational Cordage 
Company, the prime mover in the Twine 
Trust, will have a surplus of 25.000 tons of 
binder twine to carry over. This is good 
news to farmers. Perhaps there will not be 
such a scarcity another year...An Eng¬ 
lish farmer not long since was prosecuted by 
the health authorities on the ground that his 
silo was a nuisance. The higher courts to 
which he appealed decided in his favor. 
... The total receipts of live stock at New 
York and Jersey City last week were 17.105 
beeves, 83 milch cows, 6,000 calves, 46,290 
sheep and lambs, and 31,636 hogs. The exports 
from this port were 4,280 beeves, 69 sheep, 
and 9,440 quarters of beef. From Boston 
2,643 beeves and 4,535quarters of beef. From 
Baltimore and Philadelphia 2,301 beeves and 
1,860 quarters of beef. From Montreal 2,861 
beeves and 3,575 sheep. Prime steers are 
now worth in this market about $1.50 per 
hundred pounds less than they were one 
year ago. 
Secretary Woodward says a pair of oxen will 
be exhibited at the State Fair at Albany, 
which tip the scales at nearly four tons. The 
fruit and flower show will be on Friday and 
Saturday, and is expected to be very fine. A 
butter factory will be in operation on Mon¬ 
day, and the new Swedish butter extractor 
will be in operation during the week. The rail¬ 
roads have given very liberal rates, and a 
fine exhibition and large attendance is confi¬ 
dently anticipated.Delaware has 
a law- for the protection of peach orchards 
from the yellows. It is unlawful to keep 
growing any peach, almond, or nectarine 
tree infected with this disease.At 
present, 34 States observe what is known as 
Arbor Day. Nebraska started the movement 
17 years ago, and it has proved a source of 
great benefit to her.... Ttie Le Conte Pear 
formerly supposed to be free from blight, is 
reported to be badly affected in Georgia and 
Texas. 
Kalamazoo, Mich., expects to realize §1,000,- 
000 for celerv this year. The crop is grown 
mostly by Hollanders, and few have more 
than two or three acres each.The 
Grangers of Colorado combined to purchase 
their binding twine, the past season, of a man¬ 
ufacturer who was not a member of the 
Twine Trust. The secretary of the State 
Grange says that the twine has given good 
satisfaction, being of excellent quality, and 
costvseveral hundred dollars less than it would 
have cost in the Denver market.Sev¬ 
eral cows which had died very mysteriously 
at Jersey City, were found upon investiga¬ 
tion to have been poisoned by refuse from 
some chemical works. 
California wheat-growers are doing a whole¬ 
sale business in wheat harvesting. They have 
harnessed the traction engine to the combined 
harvester, and one of them cutting a 40-foot 
swath, will harvest SO acres per day, ready 
for market. The engine is a straw-burner, 
and is said to consume not more than 30 per 
cent, of the chaff blown out of the thrasher. 
The drive-wheels are eight feet high, and the 
other parts aro proportionately large. The 
header of this mammoth outfit is jointed lu 
the center, and has two reels and two sickles, 
so that it can accommodate itself to inequali¬ 
ties of the ground. The power is furnished 
by a 50-horse power boiler. The traction en¬ 
gine runs the header, while the separator is 
run by a small, separate engine. The trac¬ 
tion engine is also used for plowing, and can 
draw six six-horse gang plows, day and night, 
thus doing the work of 72 horses. Another 
advantage the engine possesses over horses is 
that it eats nothing when idle. Is it possible 
for the small farmers of the East to success¬ 
fully compete against such odds?. 
The Society of American Florists has been in 
session at Buffalo during the week. The Mas¬ 
sachusetts Horticultural Society invited the 
Society to hold its 1890 meeting in Boston, and 
the invitation was unanimously accepted. 
Robert Craig of Philadelphia read a paper en¬ 
titled Elevating Our Business, in which he 
agreed that the specialist achieved the high¬ 
est success. A resolution was adopted favor¬ 
ing Dr. F. M. Hexamer of New York for 
Commissioner of Agriculture and Horticul¬ 
ture for the World’s Fair of 1892, and John 
Thorpe of Pearl River, N. Y. to represent 
floriculture. The Society also petitions Con¬ 
gress to establish a floral school. Why not? 
Then why not the poultry-men petition for a 
poultry school; the fruit-growers for a porno- 
logical school; the sheep-breeders for a school 
of instruction lu sheep-husbandry, etc.? 
Why not?. 
The Farmers’ Alliance Exchange of Florida 
has taken steps toward making Jacksonville 
the home market for Florida cotton. It has 
for many years been marketed at Savannah, 
and other points. The first bale of short-sta¬ 
ple uplund ever auctioned at Jacksonville was 
sold Wednesday. The bale weighed 579 
pounds, and the cotton was of flue quality. 
The bale was placed in a wagon and driven 
through the principal streets preceded by a 
baud of music, after which it was sold for 17 
cents per pound. The Clyde S oamship Line 
will bring it to New York free.Ax- 
tell tried at Chicago on W ednesday to lower 
his record of 2:14%. He tailed to make as 
good time as his previous record, making the 
mile in 2:1534.The farmers of War¬ 
ren, Hunterdon and Sussex Counties, N. J., 
had a reunion on Wednesday. 
FIVE HARVEST EXCURSIONS. 
The Burlington Route, C., B. & Q. R. R.,

Southwest and Northwest. Limit 30 days. For

The Weather during the last week has 
been much more favorable for harvesting and 
thrashing, although it has been rather cool 
for corn. There have been some local rains, 
but these have been needed where they have 
been heaviest. The Northwest had begun to 
suffer from drought in some parts,and the rains 
were very welcome. 
Wheat is thrashing out hetter than was 
expected, although much of it is rather damp. 
The demand for wheat continues good for all 
the interior mills, consequently the receipts 
at commercial centers are light. Brazil has 
imposed a heavy duty on all flour imported 
into that country, but wheat comes in free. 
English capitalists have invested large sums 
of money in the erection of flour-mills on con¬ 
dition that flour should be subjected to the 
maximum duty. This law has just gone into 
effect. Wheat is admitted free, and several 
cargoes of over 100,000 bushels each have al¬ 
ready been contracted for. This will be good 
for the grain markets, but bad for the mills 
which have been shipping flour to that mar¬ 
ket for many years. The Argentine Repub¬ 
lic is also under the same conditions. The 
Portuguese Government has also imposed a 
heavy duty on all foreign grain, and before it 
can be received, it must be shown that the 
consignee intends mixing each bushel with 
two of native growth. Protection of home 
industries seems to be contagious. 
Corn is improving, but will require consid¬ 
erable warm weather to mature a good crop. 
The receipts of old corn are considerably in¬ 
creased; prices have changed but little. 
Oats and other grains have been dull, and 
but a moderate trade is reported. Oats are a 
heavy crop, and the price is not likely to rule 
very high. There is no demand for barley 
yet. Large quantities of Timothy seed are 
offered, and the price is likely to rule low. 
Cheese has developed a stronger tone, and 
the market is steady. At Utica, July cheese 
is reported about cleaned out. Sales were re¬ 
ported at eight to nine cents. Little Falls 
sold the bulk of the offerings at eight to 8% 
cents. The Northern markets ruled somewhat 
higher, ruling at 8% cents, taken mostly by 
Montreal buyers. 
Butter is dull at present, excepting for the 
best grades which are in demand at outside 
quotations. 
Hops, from present appearances, will fall 
much below what was expected. The yards 
in central and northern New York have suf¬ 
fered considerably from mildew and blight. 
It is estimated that the crop will be shortened 
from one-flfth to one-third. Picking is pro¬ 
gressing rapidly, and some sales are reported 
at 21 to 25 cents, although some buyers have 
been endeavoring to contract for 15 cents. 
Several counties in Canada report great loss 
to the hop crop from rust and blight. Many 
yards are totally destroyed. Reports from 
Washington indicate a good yield on that 
coast. The acreage is said to be 33 per cent, 
greater than last year, and the yield is ex¬ 
pected to be 10 per cent, less per acre, so that 
the aggregate yield will be greater. The hops 
are said to be of good quality. 
Fruits are in large supply in this market, 
but the best qualities sell readily at outside 
figures. Several car-loads of California 
fruit are sold daily at auction, consisting of 
Orange, Honey, Strawberry Cling and Late 
Crawford Peaches; Tokay, Muscat. Black 
Prince, and Rose of Peru Grapes; Bartlett 
Pears; Golden Drop and Gross Prunes, etc. 
Peaches are quite plentiful and show quite 
a range in prices. Some parts of isew Jersey' 
report the peach crop very badly injured, 
probably not over half a crop. Good apples 
are scarce and sell at good prices. Good pears 
and plums command outside quotations, but 
poor grades go very slowly. There is a de¬ 
maud for the best quality of grapes at high 
prices, but others are slow of sale. 
Many of the muskmelons offered are in 
poor condition, aud go very slowly. Prime 
ones are in demand. More care should be ex¬ 
ercised in packing all kiuds of fruit. They 
should be carefully graded, as it does not pay 
to ship poor fruit to this market. 
Vegetables are in a fairly good supply. 
Potatoes are a trifle lower; sweets are very 
plentiful, and the demand is not large. Cab¬ 
bages are large and flue aud prices continue 
low. Tomatoes are lower, aud receipts are 
very heavy. Corn maintains a good price. 
Ouious are far in excess of the demand. Li¬ 
ma Beans are lower. 
Poultry is becoming more plentiful, aud, 
with the exception of turkeys and geese, is 
somewhat lower. It will pay better to ship 
poultry alive, putting them in coops as di¬ 
rected in previous issues of the R. N.-Y. 
Send nothing but fat ones, and don’t think 
you ran crowd in a few poor ones aud get 
equally good prices. It will pay you better 
to bury them at home. 
Eggs are advancing slowly in price. Strict¬ 
ly fresh eggs, and this does not mean eggs that 
have been held for several weeks, will bring 
outside quotations. 
Hay is in fair supply, and prices for a prime 
article are woll maintained. The quotations 
are for old hay; new is selling for 55 cents to 
85 cents.
