RURAL SPECIAL REPORTS. 
Conn., Guilford. New Haven Co., Aug. 23d.— 
Most of my Blount’6 corn was destroyed by the 
heavy storm that swept this place on the 18th 
inst. I had a fine promise of a good crop and 
a fair 6how for a premium. I planted 100 
kernels from which 09 stalks came up, some of 
which had nine sets apiece. The Beauty of 
Hebron potatoes are rightly named. I had 
eleven hills which I dug on the 13th inst., and 
had 24£ pounds of tubers. One weighed 15 
ounces, and quite a number, 14 ounces. I 
cooked two and I do not hesitate to say they 
are superior to the Early Rose aud Early Ver¬ 
mont. p * 
New foitK, Orient, Suffolk Co., Aug. 25.— 
Wo are having a very wet season hereabouts. 
We have had showers about once a week for 
the last six or eight weeks. The ground is 
now too wet for corn on our heavy land. The 
stalks are well growu aud well set for ears ; 
but if the wet weather continues the latter will 
not fill. Now we want a month of hot dry 
weather to insure a good crop. Potatoes are 
looking exceedingly fine, especially the Bur¬ 
bank Seedling. 1 have a field of four acres 
under this crop, and it promises to be excel¬ 
lent- I planted a bushel of Beauty of Hebron 
potatoes, having cut them to one eye apiece. 
The vines kept pace with Early Rose, and the 
tubers of both will mature about the same 
time. I also planted one peck of the Trophy 
potato; this will be much later, as the vines 
are green yet. Onions are doing exceedingly 
well this season. We have a very fine soil for 
this crop. Of course it needs manure, and it 
pays to use this plentifully. Some of our 
farmers are purchasing largely of horse man¬ 
ure from New York, and it seems to be just 
the thing for the crops of different kinds that 
wo raise. A great deal of sea - weed—or 
“ creek-mud,” as we call it -is used for corn, 
and it seems to answer a good purpose. Tur¬ 
nips are looking well, aud there is a large 
breadth of land sowed with them. The show 
for apples is poor, but pears are promising a 
good crop. Some of our farmers have com¬ 
menced digging Early Red potatoes, and they 
report a yield of from 250 to 300 bushels per 
acre. s> L * T * 
New York, Clinton, Oneida Co.. Aug. 20th. 
—My Beauty of Hebron potatoes were dug 
to-day ; there were 12 eyes iu my seed potato, 
so I made 12 hills which yielded 131, pounds of 
good-sized potatoes, there being but very few 
small ones. I planted the 12 eyes iu the middle 
of April. Of my flower seeds only three kinds 
came up; of the Bronze Ricinus I have three 
plants; of the Aquilegia, seven, aud of the 
Hibiscus Syriacus, twelve. Tbe Voorliis 
watermelon is growing very much; from one 
vine there are two large melons and som« 
smaller ones, none of which are ripe yet. The 
Golden Rural Tomato is growing finely aud is 
begining to ripen. It is an earlier sort than tbe 
common red tomato. I thiuk very much ol my 
Rural seeds and of the Kukal New-Yorker as 
an agricultural paper; every department is full 
of instructive reading for old and young. 
Q. B. E. 
N. Y., BurtonviBe. Montgomery Co., Aug. 
25th.—Most of the farmers are through harvest. 
Crops generally are good in this vicinity. Corn 
promises a good yield. My Blount's corn is 
doiug splendidly. It was planted the 20th of 
May, and now the stalks are from nine to 
eleven feet liigh, aud Hix inches iu circum¬ 
ference, with from three to eight ears on a 
talk. It beats anythipg iu the corn line that I 
ever saw. Pearl Millet is a failure with me; I 
do not think it worthy of its name. I have had 
Acme tomatoes from seed sent by the Rural 
for two weeks ; they are the best tomatoes I 
ever raised. A Subscriber. 
New York, Yorkshire, Catt. Co., Aug. 25th. 
—Corn and potatoes are looking well and 
large crops are expected. Oats are better this 
year than they have been for several seasons. 
The wheat crop is light. The Blount’s eorn 
which the Rural sent us is worth seeing, the 
stalks being from six to ten inches in circumfer¬ 
ence aud 10 to 12 feet high. The ears arc j ust be¬ 
ginning to set, from two to six on a stalk. The 
Beauty of Hebrou potato did not do very well. 
Defiance wheat is looking well—what there is 
of it, the hens having destroyed about one- 
third of it. The apple and pear crops are 
light here in the valley; but on the hills they 
are good. w. A. b. 
N. Y., Sherman, Chaut. Co., Aug. 24—Blount's 
eorn is doing well now, but I fear that it is too 
late in ripening for our short season. Some 
of it stands eight aud ten feet in bight, to the 
top of the tassel, with from four to six ears 
just set. It beats all tbe corn I ever saw in 
this part of the country to grow. Farmers in 
this section are paying more attention to corn 
and wheat, and less to oats, which has been our 
principal grain heretofore. I think its a move 
in the right direction. A. e. b. 
N. Y., Sherburne, Chen. Co., Aug. 20th.—The 
Beauty of Hebron potato 8ent me I cut to 
single eyes which made nine pieces, put them 
in a pan of dirt in the house till the vines were 
six inches high, then I 6et.them out, one eye in 
a hill, I hoed them twice and dug them last 
Monday. I had 55 good-sized, nice-looking 
potatoes weighing 11 pounds. My Blount's 
corn i6 nine feel high with no tassels yet. 
w. II. s. 
N. Y., Ithaca. Tompkins Co., Aug. 2rtth.— 
Not more than one half of my Blount's Prolific 
corn came up, and that has a sickly appear¬ 
ance. I am confident it will never amount to 
anything iu this section. My Beauty of Hebron 
potatoes are not ripe ; tbe tops are still green, 
though Early Rose potatoes by their side 
begin to color. f. d. 8, 
N. J., Middletown,Middlesex Co., Aug. 22d.— 
Blouut’s Corn astonishes the natives. My Beauty 
of Hebron potatoes have doue finely. Most of 
the seeds the Rural sent me came up and the 
plants are doiug well. J- n. r. 
Pa., Buena Vista, Alleghany Co., Aug. 24th, 
—Harvest is over aud iall plowing has com¬ 
menced. We have good crops in ibis section. 
Wheat is good and well filled, but the straw Is 
short. Oats are good, yielding 40 bushels per 
acre. Potatoes are plentiful, but small. Corn is 
an average crop. Apples arc a poor and 
peaches a good crop. Pears and other fruits 
ure abuudaut. F. u. 
Pa.. Morris Cross Roads, Fayette Co., Aug. 
11.—The wheat crop was good ; but not much 
was sown here. Corn is fine aud promising. 
Oats and barley look good ; there was but lit tle 
of the latter sown. All kinds of fruit look 
well, excepting apples. Potatoes are a better 
crop than has been seen for many years. 
Farmers are preparing to sow a large crop of 
fall wheat. j. l. o. 
Ohio, Attica, Seneca Co.. Aug. 23d.— Harvest¬ 
ing is over and thrashing has commenced. The 
average wheat crop for this year is: Lancaster, 
20 bushels per acre; Fultz, 30 ; Clawson, 25 to 
30 bushels; oats, 30 to 50 ; corn will be au 
average crop. The Blount’s Prolific is doiug 
very well; it is 12 or 14 feet high; some stalks 
have seven or eight ears on, though it seems to 
two or three weeks behind the common corn 
planted in the same field. Flax is very poor 
on account of the dry weather last spring. 
Potatoes arc a very fair crop. Fruits are a 
failure this year except grapes. w. s. s. 
Ohio, Atlanta, Pickaway Co., Aug. 24tli.— 
We have had good growing weather for the 
last two months. Wheat is above the average; 
tbe yield iu this county is estimated by our 
eouuly paper at 1,000,01X1 bushels. A large 
acreage will be sown to wheat this fall. Corn 
is good—better than last year. Oats arc short. 
Grass is good. So are potatoes. Fruit and 
hay are both scarce. Eggs bring only eight 
cents per dozen ; butter, 10 to 121 per pound ; 
corn 85 cents per bushel; wheat, 05 cents; 
horses, ©50 to $125 per head; cows $20 to $40; 
cattle, $3 to $4.50 per 100 pounds; hogs, $3 to 
$3.50; sheep, $3 to $4. a. L. 
Mich., Bear Lake, Mancstee Co., Aug. 22d— 
The plants from some of the seeds sent me by 
the Rural are doing very well, especially the 
Moscheutos and Hollyhock. The dry weather 
injured the Ricinus. All the seeds germinated, 
but some of the plants withered shortly after 
making their appearance above ground. I 
have, however, stiff seed enough to try again. 
With regard to the corn, it is oiue or ten feet 
high, and stiff going up. You should send some 
tassels and ears as well as a ladder to enable me 
to climb to tbe top of the stalks to tie them 
on. M. £. A. 
Mich., Adrian, Lenawee Co., Aug. 22.—The 
“ Blount White Prolific” (lie Rural sent out is 
just immense; not having room to plant it 
where it could not mix, I gave it to a neighbor; 
aud some stalks are 12 and 14 feet high wij,h 
five and six ears on a stalk. Will find room for 
the next free seeds. f. G. 
Michigan, Muskegon, Muskegon Co., Aug. 
24th.—Peaches, pears aud grapes are extra¬ 
ordinary crops here. Apples, plums and cherries 
are 50 to 75 per eent. of a crop, aud all trees 
and vines have made an uncommon growth. 
Corn and potatoes are extra. s. n. p. 
Colorado, Bennet, Arap. Co., Aug. 20th.— 
The Rural tomato has done very well. Blount’s 
Corn is better thau I expected. We have had 
three haii-storms which cut it very badly. I 
lost all my watermelon plants and half the 
flower seeds, but then we do not fret about it, 
for we are trying to enjoy the lots of flowers 
that we have, and expect to do better next 
time. 4. w. s. 
Texas, Luling, Caldwell Co., Aug. 20th.— 
The remark “it is very dry,” which was lately 
chronic, is now heard no more, for during the 
past week we have had abundant rains. Corn, 
of course, could not be benefited by this tardy 
downpour, as a good deal of it had been already 
gathered ; but it gives cotton a good chance to 
make a “top crop," If the army-worm does 
not put in an appearance. Corn, whieh went 
begging at 2flc. per bushel this time last year, 
is now worth 75c to $1. The crop will not 
average 10 bushels per acre in the county, but 
the prospects for cotton, both as to price and 
yield, are good. t. j. e.

About the first of last February I got one bottle of

about three years with Catarrh. I am now using tha

dead and watery, are now a* bright as diamonds I 
waa so deaf that I wa* completely stupid, and I oould

Before commencing with your remedies. I called on 
Dr.-. Ho said I had catarrh In IU worst form. ftn <L

I had been living In flnlorado about four rears when 
my head g*va out. I employed a good doctor, who 
treated me lor Erysipelas-, then others, who called It 
Uaxear, and, tor two year* before 1 came home, ther 
doct- red mo neatly to deal h, some for one thing and 
tom# for anoi.har, but finally decided that I had th* 
dreadf'ii Catarrh tn Ita most, dangerous form, and till* 
la how I was. »h nearly as I Oan writ* it. ,,_ 
1 hail taken some heavy odds, and th# floe dust that 
blows there like snow had made rny nore awful sore In. 
tide; the nose gut Inflamed, swelled very large, was red 
and vory palnlnl, and the redness spreid very badly 
over my face. It also got a sore spot right on the nose 
np toward the eyes, und to was sore outside and In. and 
finally oat a hole clear through, which at loat got about 
as large a* a pipe stem. , 
My palate also got very sore and enlarged, and, after * 
while. It came of; then two holes eat lb rough above t» 
that looltod like canker suras, and, spreading fast, they 
both broke Into cue, and worn yon first saw me It waa 
larger than the red of mp thumb, and still Billing. My 
throat and th* baok part of the mouth was pn* maos of 
canker and scabs, and I mutt 1 not folk-only a hoars# 
kind of whisper. Tbe mailer from my throat and tho 
■lire through the nose wits twirteotly awful, *nd my 
breath the »«raa—a person ooaldn’t sit or stay near me. 
I had a very bad cough: lay Jungs were very sore, and 
my stomach all out of order; 1 could hard In eat, mi 
throat was *o nor* and my stomach so bad. My weight 
bad gone down to eighty pounds. I had nearly lost m»

During this time I was confined to my bed sixteen

tne, and not a bit of good oumo from It, I wanted to

did. 
I supposed I had both# ftom* fo die, but, after resting

Dr O. R. SntEB Dear Sir : I hav* for a long time 
felt tt my duty to others, who may b* suffering as I waa, 
to write a brief history of my caa* for their benefit. 
Three years ago Ust spring, when you first saw me, I 
was suffering from one of tho worst throat* that avsg 
anybody had. It «u so badly ulcerated that I could 
hardly talk or swallow. Then tha roof of my mouth 
was attacked In the sums way, aud finally a hole oat 
through on that part above the palate. This kept 
spreading uni ll it aot to he uv-*rl> aa large as a twenty 
five otmi niece. This mad* my ejeteeh so bad that peo¬ 
ple coo Id hardly understand a word I said. 
The soreness and difficulty then worked np Into one 
ear, with such awful pains tn tt that t wa* nearly dU- 
tracted: and, after a while, I lost rny bearing tn that 
ear. I could do no work, and wa* confined to my bed 
most of tbe tint* ; had uo desire for food, and was very 
poor In flesh, and, matly, Ilf* reamed a burden to me. 
My case Is so different tmw that I can hardly realise 
th* great change. I am morn than sixty pounds heav¬ 
ier ; my hearing U so perfect that I almost forget which 
ear was deaf, nnll) I stop to think, and that large hole 
I* completely closed up, except about th* six* of a ptn’e

“Dr. Sykes’ Sure Cure for Catarrh,” H 
Is an internal and local remedy, and if rightly used, is as sure to cure Catarrh as 
Sulphur is to cure the Itch. I had Catarrh 24 years, and after expemhng over 
SI,200 in vain, originated thiB plan of treatment which oured mo in 1870, and the 
number of cures since is simply wonderful—the above are only given as specimens. 
The Sure Cure is within the reach of all ; can be sent by mail or express. Price 
Complete, with Inauffieator, $1.40. If afraid to risk the money—to a stranger—send 
10 cents for a book of full information, worth ten times its cost. Postage stamps 
are good as cash. Address
