THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
io9 
turned by 1,000 correspondents, Is given at 
$9.75 an acre, or a total of $68,272,872, near¬ 
ly $10,000,000 in excess of the value of the 
crop. It is difficult to see much profit in 
those figures.It cost a New Jersey 
city farmer $150, damages and costs, to 
learn that he had no business to pasture 
his hens in his neighbor’s garden. Served 
him right.It is said that in conse¬ 
quence of the discriminations of railroads, 
and their pernicious practices of through 
billing, Western produce can be bought 
cheaper in Glasgow and Liverpool than in 
New York and Baltimore. 
The Department of Agriculture has re 
ceived from Plurope a consignment of choice 
silk-worm eggs, which will be distributed 
gratuitously to all wishing to raise silk- 
wormp. It will also furnish books of in¬ 
struction in silk culture. The Department 
has been purchasing cocoons from Ameri¬ 
can growers for experimental purposes, 
at an average price of IK) cents per pound. 
All wishing information should communi¬ 
cate directly with the Department. 
The last meeting of the Cheshire Swine- 
Breeders’ Association was neld at Syracuse, 
N. Y., and showed a large increase in mem¬ 
bership, and an association entirely free of 
debt. H. E. Coe, Kirkville, N. Y. was 
elected president, and G. S. Button, Chit- 
tenango, N. Y. secretary.Spring- 
field, O. has 35 firms engaged in the manu¬ 
facture of agricultural implements and sup¬ 
plies.C. M. Winslow of Brandon, 
Vt., has had a herd of Ayrshire cows, vary¬ 
ing from nine to 16 in number during the 
last 10 years. During this time the cows, 
old and young*, have averaged from 5,782 
pounds to 7,025 pounds of milk per year, 
averaging for the 10 years 6,310, four pounds 
per cow. The milk from the herd during 
June 1889 averaged 23 per cent, cream. 
The Famous Manufacturing Company, 
manufacturers of the Champion baling 
presses, have removed their works from 
Quincy, Illinois, to Chicago, where they 
have the largest and most complete works 
in the world.A general Rural 
and Forest Exposition will be held at 
Vienna, Austria, from the middle of May 
till the middle ot October.The 
California honey crop for 1889 amounted to 
1,092,000 pounds, returns having been re¬ 
ceived from 39 counties.The 
same State produced 13,500 tons of sugar 
beets on 2,000 acres, from which 1,650 tons 
of sugar were extracted. The beets are re¬ 
ported as averaging the farmers $5 per ton. 
.At the principal Atlanttc ports 
during 1889, there were received from in¬ 
terior points, 11,009,886 barrels of flour, 
29,851,280 bushels of wheat, and 78,024,8-15 
bushels of corn. The exports during the 
same year were 8,585,835 barrels of flour, 
19,599,079 bushels of wheat, and 62,141,909 
bushels of corn..'.
