Crops & iTTiulifts. 
Saturday, July 17, 1886. 
The official report on the prospects of the 
crops in Hungary estimates the yield of wheat 
at 89 per cent, of the average. In 1885 the 
yield was 91 per cent. The prospects are ex¬ 
cellent for rye and oats and bad for barley. 
The official report says that while the pros¬ 
pects of the Prussian crops, especially those of 
rye and wheat, are generally highly satisfac¬ 
tory, the outlook in several districts of Silesia 
is bad. Oats, bai ley and potatoes generally 
promise normal crops. 
The French Government has deferred till 
September, its proposition to put additional 
duties on imported bread-stuffs. It could hard¬ 
ly raise- the price of wheat 18 cents a bushel at 
the beginning of the cereal year in which it 
will need probably 90,000,(ICO bushels of foreign 
wheat or its equivalent in flour. 
The July report of the Department of Agri¬ 
culture, made public on (Saturday, confirms our 
Crop Special’s estimate of the winter wheat 
crop—about 395,000,000 bushels. Our Special 
went to press on July 3, and as, therein stated, 
our estimates were based on reports received 
here between June 25 and July 1, and some of 
them were over a week in the mails. Those from 
the spring wheat region therefore referred to 
the condition of the crops about June 80, and 
most of the irreparable injury to them from 
drought has occurred since. We made allow¬ 
ance for the damage done before that time; but 
a good rain would not only have prevented 
further injury, but have undone some of the 
mischief already accomplished. We put 
the damage to Spring wheat on July 1, at 
about 5,000,000 bushels;Statistician Dodge of 
the Department of Agriculture, on July 12, 
put it at 6,000,000 bushels up to that date; but 
we are strongly of the opinion that it was 
greater. 
The loss is variously estimated by different 
“crop authorities’' all the way from 6,000,000 
to 60,000,000 bushels. There is a tremendous 
amount of rough guessing, and a good deal of 
premeditated lying for speculative purposes. 
By exaggerating the damages, the “bulls” 
expect to raise prices temporarily; by belittl¬ 
ing them, the “bears” are trying to keep or 
pul.* prices down. Many farmers’ papers Munir 
it to the interest of farmer's to underestimate 
the crops, under the idea that prices will then 
go up; but uo paper has a monopoly of the 
“news,” and the truth is bound to be approxi¬ 
mates! by some. They induce some of their 
readers, however, to hold on to their produce 
iu hopes of better figures, ultimately losing 
thereby. Those who sold their wheat last 
harvest at current figures, did better than 
those who held on. “Tell the truth always 
as it seems to you” is the best motto in this as 
in other matters. 
The J uly report on corn of the Department 
of Agriculture, is the first for the year. It 
says the acreage of corn has very slightly de¬ 
clined in the Middle States and iu Maryland, 
Virginia and South Carolina, with some in¬ 
crease in other (States of the South, which is 
largest west Of the Mississippi. In the Ohio 
Valley the acreage is nearly the same as in 
1985. West of the Mississippi the increase is 
heavy; iu Kansas 20 per cent., Nebraska 10, 
Dakota 30. Total increase .3 1 per cent., or 
about 2,500,000 acres. Corn is late on the 
Atlantic coast, from wet weather, cool nights 
and slow germination. Iu many situations 
the seed rotted, and replanting became neces¬ 
sary. Instances are reported of planting 
three times. Yet there is generally a fair 
stand, and the crop is growing and heal¬ 
thy, and with seasonable July weather will 
make a full yield. It bus suffered quite as 
much on the Gulf coast, where the areas arc 
still more unpromising. The great corn belt 
of the West reports medium to high condition, 
growing better from Ohio to Kausus. The 
Missouri Valley leverages better than the Ohio 
Kiver and lake region. There is a full stand 
in Missoiu'i of vigorous and even growth, and 
10 days earlier than last year. The Kausus 
returns are equally favorable. Insect injuries 
have nowhere been serious. The chinch bug 
is now threatening some localities iu the West. 
The general average is 92, against 94 last year 
and 96 in 1884, The State average of the fol¬ 
lowing States are: New York, 02; Pennsyl¬ 
vania, NS; Virginia, 9.3; Georgia, 92; Texas, 
88; Kentucky, 91; Ohio, 93; Indiana, 95; 
Michigan, 96; Illinois, 97; Missouri, 101; Neb¬ 
raska, 95, and Iowa, 99. 
Oats have been more severely injured than 
even wheat; and glass has been burnt up, and

the hay crop greatly curtailed. A heavy rain 
storm towards the end of last week through¬ 
out nearly the whole of the Northwest, put an 
end to the dry spell. Just now most of New 
England is suffering severely from dry weath¬ 
er, arid crops will be greatly injured unless 
rain falls soon ; considerable irreparable dam* 
age has been done already. 
Iu spite of heavy rains last Saturday, which 
washed off much of the lioney-dew in many 
parts of the New York hop-growing region, 
the crop is still reported in a very ruinous con¬ 
dition from hop-grubs, lice and honey-dow. 
Prices for old hops vary considerably in the 
different local markets, but are everywhere 
higher. Here sales have run up to 28 cents for 
best (State and 25 cents for California. Seve¬ 
ral State lots have been returned from Lon¬ 
don. At San Francisco the new crop is re¬ 
ported sold at from 27 to 30 cents per pound. 
In view of the current prices of farm stock, 
hogs are now probably the best paying ani¬ 
mals on the farm, and the general impression 
is that the present high figures will continue 
throughout the season. With the prices of 
hogs high in face of a full supply, the prices 
of mutton sheep should soon advance, as there 
is some scarcity. The returns of summer 
pork packing show an increase of 285,000 hogs 
over the same time last year. 
The wheat market is quieter, with prices fluc¬ 
tuating within a moderate range. Latest esti¬ 
mates of damage to spring wheat 10 to 20 per 
cent, .earlier reports having been exaggerated. 
A strong under-currant of feeling that a high¬ 
er range of prices for wheat is likely to pre¬ 
vail during the coming crop year than has 
been quoted for two years. This is empha¬ 
sized by unfavorable cron reports from the 
Uuitod Kingdom, Russia, India, Australia and 
elsewhere. No. 3 red wheat at New York 
closed yesterday at 87c., against 86 s 4 c. a week 
ago. The tobacco crop of Missouri needs 
rain. London wool prices are uo higher. Do¬ 
mestic quotations are unchanged and holders 
very firm.

AS* AN EVIDENCE OF FAITH 
In my Remedy, I make the foUowlug offer: 
I will insure herds of swine of not less than 
one hundred in number against disease, at a 
small fee per head, provided they are fed my 
Remedy under my direction, and prove upon 
examination prior to contract that they are in 
a healthy condition, and neither inbred, close- 
bred, or the progeny of such.

“Summer fallows receive one or two plow¬ 
ing only during the summer. The surface 
hardens into a crust and becomes a mass of 
clods when plowed; and weeds are allowed to 
grow and seed the land. The time required 
for repeated plowings prevent the necessary 
work. But with the ’ACME’ Pulverizing 
Harrow, Clod Crusher & Leveler, work eveu 
better than plowing may be performed in 
one-hfth of the time, the weeds sliced up aud 
killed, and the operation repeated so often 
that the field will be a clean mellow bed by 
Autumn.” See advertisement on page 492.
