that he will leave Sunol in California until 
next October.For a long time 
the accumulations of manure about 
many of the stables in this city lia% r e been 
a constant menace to the public health. 
The proper officials being so dilatory in 
abating this nuisance, the ladies in the vi¬ 
cinity combined during the past winter 
and have been working ever since to secure 
action by the proper authorities. As a re¬ 
sult, the Board or Health have just issued 
the following order: '“On and after May 15, 
1890, it shall not be lawful to remove stable 
manure from any stable or premises in tbe 
built-up portion of the city or to cart the 
same within the city limits without a per¬ 
mit from the Health Department, unless 
the manure be pressed and baled and be 
properly covered while being removed and 
carted or be inclosed in tightly covered bar¬ 
rels so as to prevent the escape of all offen¬ 
sive dors and liquid matter.” The object 
is to compel stablemen to bale the manure. 
They protest vigorously against this 
action. 
An English breeder having lost several val¬ 
uable animals through anthrax, has made 
arrangements to have his entire herd inoc¬ 
ulated according to Pasteur’s system.. 
The farmers have control of the South 
Carolina legislature, and have just passed 
a bill establishing the Clemson Agricul¬ 
tural College, appropriating $39,000 a year 
in perpetuity therefor. The bill also au¬ 
thorizes the sale of all the farms and build¬ 
ings of the State Agricultural Department, 
takes possession of the tax on fertilizers, 
and the State’s share of the Hatch fund.... 
.English breeders are on the lookout 
for new markets for pedigree stock They 
have a good trade with South America, but 
are fearful that it will not last forever. 
The government of Natal has appointed a 
commission to consider the question of the 
importation of blooded stock, and the Brit¬ 
ishers are making efforts to attract the 
business in their direction. 
The Missouri State Board of Agriculture 
will hold 15 farmers’ meetings at widely- 
scattered points. They had calls for more 
than 40, but were unable to do more with 
the means at command. The meetings 
will begin at Macon City, December 30, 
and close at Linneus, January 24. The 
board have done the best possible with the 
penurious allowance at their disposal. 
Levi Chubbuck, secretary, Columbia. 
The New Jersey State Grange, Patrons of 
Husbandry, have for years held their meet¬ 
ings in the Assembly Chamber at the State 
Capitol. Upon their assembling last 
week, the superintendent of the capitol re¬ 
fused to allow them to use the hall, but 
tendered them the use of another room. 
They refused this compromise and held 
their meeting in Library Hall. 
The New Jersey State Poultry Association 
was organized at Trenton recently. Frank¬ 
lin Dye was elected secretary.Charles 
Richards Dodge, son of J. R. Dodge of the 
Department of Agriculture, has the Ordre 
du Mcnte Aiji'icole conferred upon him 
by the French Government, for services 
at the Paris Exposition. His collection of 
American libers was considered the best in 
the exposition, and he received gold medals 
instead of silver in consideration of his ef¬ 
forts.The Nebraska 
State Horticultural Society will hold its 
winter meeting at Lincoln, January 14-16. 
The programme is a varied one and in¬ 
cludes the names of prominent horticultur¬ 
ists, both in and out of the State. There 
will be an exhibit of fruit. The railroads 
will give reduced rates. G. J. Carpenter, 
secretary. 
Crops & iilorhfts. 
Saturday, December 21,1889. 
We certainly live in a progressive age. 
Spring lambs, chickens and the like used 
to be raised in the spring and green peas, 
new potatoes, etc , were formerly hailed as 
a delicacy to be had by the more enterpris¬ 
ing farmers in the Northern States on In¬ 
dependence Day. But the enterprise of ex¬ 
perimenters and seedsmen, in originating 
earlier varieties as well as the development 
of the Southern truit and vegetable trade, 
have placed fresh fruits and vegetables 
within reach of the city dweller at nearly 
all times of the year. The development of 
the process of artificial incubation gives us 
a plentiful supuly of spring chickens while 
winter is yet with us. Formerly the grow¬ 
ing of early spring lambs has proven very 
remunerative to enterprising farmers, the 
degree of profit depending upon the eirli- 
ness with which they were marketed, 
which has been earlier each succeeding 
year. This year, however, the much abused 
New Jersey farmer has stolen a march up¬ 
on his competitors, and has sent his spring 
lambs to market before Christmas. They 
are fine ones too, and sell readily for $10 
each. Are we approaching the time when 
we shall have spring all the year round? 
Southern vegetables are arriving princi¬ 
pally from Florida. Good lots are not 
plenty and sell readily at good prices. Cu¬ 
cumbers are worth $2 to $5 per crate, egg- 
J limit $4 to $6 per barrel, and string beans 
!2 to $4 per crate. The city man can have 
“spring” vegetables with his “spring” 
lamb for his Christmas dinner—with the 
permission of his pocket book. 
Poultry baveswamped the market. The 
accumulation of sweaty, sour, almost rotten 
stock is enormous; much of it has been 
seized by the Board of Health and more 
will be. Choice turkevs are scarce and 
wanted. All other kinds are in full supply 
and the receipts exceed the sales, so that 
the outlook is not encouraging. 
Eggs have fallen off considerably in price, 
as the prevalent warm weather is very fav¬ 
orable Doth to production and forwarding.
