THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.

A woolen factory fitted up with modern ap¬ 
pliances has been opened in Athens, Greece, 
and will employ about 120 hands. This is 
the first of its kind in the country, and its 
opening was the occasion of much rejoic¬ 
ing, the inauguration being participated in 
by church and State dignitaries. 
Michigan has shipped to Texas and the 
Southwest over 3,000 blooded rams the past 
season, one breeder having shipped 1,400 
Merinos.The wine product of Cali¬ 
fornia for the present year is estimated at 
16,000,000 gallons, which is a slight de 
crease. Many wine grapes have been made 
into raisins.. 
An Albany manufacturer of agricultural 
implements has recently made a large ship¬ 
ment of his goods to Moscow for use in 
Asia. The agent who made the purchase 
made a tour of the Southern States for the 
purpose of studying the methods of raising 
cotton. The Russians it is said will engage 
extensively in the culture of this staple in 
Asia.The proprietors of the Alta¬ 
ian, Wisconsin, butter and cheese factory, 
who were charged by Dairy Commissioner 
Thom with using rotten butter to “fill” 
their skim cheese, threaten to sue the Com¬ 
missioner for damages. They claim that 
they do not use bad butter for filling, but 
the “ordinary” country store butter much 
the same as most people use on their tables. 
.Over 330,000 head of cattle were 
handled inChicago during October... .Only 
about 500 head of buffaloes are left on the 
Western plains.Texas cattle fever 
is reported from the vicinity of St. Louis, 
Mo.California raisins which are 
not properly cured are disDosed of to East¬ 
ern mince-meat manufacturers..... 
The 7th annual meeting of the Cider and 
Cider Vinegar Makers’ Association of the 
Northwest will be held at the Sherman 
House, Chicago, December 17 and 18. The 
programme will be issued about December 
1. L. R. Bryant, secretary, Princeton, Ill.

The November Crop Report of the De¬ 
partment of Agriculture gives the average 
yield of the corn crop as 26.9 bushels which 
s slightly above what is considered an 
average crop. The quality in some locali¬ 
ties, is, however, below average, so that 
the feeding value will not be above the 
average. 
Potatoes average about 76 bushels per 
acre for the whole country, while the aver¬ 
age of the Atlantic States where 40 percent, 
of the entire crop is grown, is 60 bushels of 
very inferior quality. The highest yields 
are in the States of Iowa, Minnesota, Ne¬ 
braska, Oregon and Washington, Maine be¬ 
ing the only eastern State having a good 
yield. In some of the States west of the 
Mississippi the price is as low as 15 cents 
per bushel, while in some of the eastern 
States consumers have to pay one dollar 
per bushel. The crop seems to be very un¬ 
equally distributed. Sweet potatoes yield¬ 
ed considerably better the average being 
above 90 bushels. 
Apples were a poor crop excepting in 
some localities in the central western 
States. Not only the yield but the quality 
is very inferior, and much of the fruit will 
not keep well. 
The hop crop on the continent of Europe 
is reported at three-fourths of a full crop, 
and one-third larger than last year. Eng¬ 
lish growers report a crop one-fifth larger 
than last year, but the quality is poor. 
England will need nearly 20,000,000 pounds 
besides her own crop, which will come 
either from the continent or from America. 
The United States crop is estimated at 
35,000,000 to 37,000,000 pounds, some of poor 
quality, but many excellent.
