criticism made by the public was that 
there was altogether too much delay in 
awarding the prizes, and that it was nearly 
the last day be re they could tell which 
wer e the prize winners; this was a source of 
great disappointment to many of the 
visitors, and ft seems to me a just cause of 
complaint, which should be obviated at 
future shows if possible. At the last show 
there were employed as many and as able 
judges as we can ever hope to get together 
again, and to my mind it is perfectly clear 
that under the system of scoring it will be 
impossible to do any better another year 
than we did last year. As the delay in 
awarding the prizes is a great drawback to 
the pleasure of all the vistors and should be 
obviated, my decision is that at the com¬ 
ing show to be held in Madison Square 
Garden this winter, the judging shall be 
done by comparison, ashy this method the 
judging can be got through with and the 
prizes awarded more quickly, thus obviat¬ 
ing what seems to me was a very just cause 
of complaint made by the public at last 
year’s show.”

cattle com hi ne m i 1 k .butter and beef-m aki n g

“ Blue Minorcas” is what an English

He says there is more similarity in shape

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
SATURDAY. August 2, 1890. 
Considerable excitement has been oc¬ 
casioned among the cranberry growers of 
Southern New Jersey, by the purchase by 
an English Syndicate of a large tract of 
land in Burlington aud Ocean Counties, for 
the purpose of growing cranberries on an 
extensive scale. The syndicate had con¬ 
templated making the venture at Cape 
Cod, Mass., but after looking over the 
ground concluded they could do better on 
the sandy soil of New Jersey. Their agent 
says they expect to have over 5,000 acres 
under cultivation within the next two 
years. This will be by far the largest bog 
in the country, add will give employment 
to a large number of working people. 
Arrests continue of dealers for selling 
adulterated milk. Three were fined $25 
each in Brooklyn for selling milk that was 
88 per cent, water. In this city two were 
arrested and held for trial. 
The House Committee on Agriculture 
has decided to report favorably the bill in¬ 
troduced by Mr. Conger last Monday, to 
regulate the manufacture and sale of com¬ 
pound lard. M'he bill is similar in language 
and scope to the amended bill already re¬ 
ported by the committee. 
Much of the milk reaching the city from 
distant points is sour aud is consequently 
returneu to the shippers. The cause is 
mainly the lack of ice, the milk not being 
properly cooled before shipping. It is said 
that heretofore the water of the springs 
has been sufficient to cool the milk, but it 
fails now. The milk exchange is said to 
have announced that it will advance the 
price one fourth or one half cent per quart 
within a few days. Many farmers in the 
milk-producing district have given up their 
farms in consequence of the low price of 
milk, and others propose to do the same. 
Many farmers in Indiana are reported to 
be feeding hay to their stock, the pastures 
being burned up by the prevalent drought. 
Wells have become dry in many places aud 
people are obliged to haul water for domes¬ 
tic purposes. Corn and other growing 
crops are badly injured. 
Kansas farmers are suffering badly from 
drought. In some parts the hot winds 
have fairly roasted the corn, until the pros¬ 
pect is for an almost entire failure. Pas¬ 
tures are also burned up. 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Squashes are low. 
Egg plant is in good supply and cheap. 
Onions bring full prices for all desirable 
stock 
Lima beans are in better supply and the 
price is declining gradually. 
CORN brings good prices if choice, aud 
there is a good demand, but there is an im¬ 
mense amount of poor stock ou the market 
which sells slowly at low prices if It sells at 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
all. Much of it is picked too soon, before it is 
sufficiently filled out. 
The export business in all kinds of bread 
stuffs has fallen off materially on account 
of speculation and the rapidly advancing 
prices. 
San Francisco has just sent to Japan 
about 13,000 bushels rye, the first shipment 
of the kind. It is presumed that the rye 
was taken because of the short rice crop in 
Japan. 
Tomatoes are becoming quite plentiful 
ami are lower. The general shortage of the 
fruit crop is likely to increase the demand 
as they will be used to supply its place to 
quite an extent. 
Poultry ranges about two cents per 
pound lower than one week ago. It is 
much higher, however, than it will be next 
fall. Send on the ohl hens and half-grown 
chicks. Ducks are very dull. Turkeys are 
firm in price. 
The signal officer at Sacramento sent, the 
following telegram to the chief signal offi¬ 
cer at Washington : “ Grain harvest about 
over; yield and acreage much below aver¬ 
age, but quality is good. Abundant fruit 
crop except peaches reported from nearly 
all portions of the State fruit belt.” 
The West and Northwest.— Prospects 
are not encouraging. The weather has 
been hot, and the winds have dried up the 
moisture so rapidly that corn is seriously 
injured. Kansas reports a probable crop 
50 per cent, that of last year. This will 
be considerably more than 50 per cent, of 
an average crop, however, as last year’s 
crop was an exceptional one Nebraska re¬ 
ports prospects of 50 per cent, of an aver¬ 
age crop. Over most of the Western States, 
the feeling is that the crop has been irre¬ 
deemably injured by the dry, hot weather, 
and that rains and favorable weather can 
do little more than check the injury already 
done. It is reported, also, that while stocks 
of old corn are considerable, they are by no 
means so large as might be expected after 
two such large crops as were reported har¬ 
vested in 1888 and 1889. The market has 
shown a steady advance, amounting in the 
aggregate to 18 cents per bushel. No. 2 has 
sold this week for upward of 52 cents. 
Wheat thrashes out about as was expected, 
but there is little selling reported. Oats 
are reported to be worse than the former 
unfavorable reports. 
Butter shows little change unless it be 
a firmer feeling over the best grades. Trade 
is dull with all inferior qualities. In con¬ 
nection with our remarks last week about 
selling butter directly to grocers, another 
serious difficulty in the way of smaller 
dairies doing tnis is the difficulty of ship¬ 
ping small lots in warm weather. The 
only method is by express, and the butter 
is so soft upon arrival that it much re¬ 
sembles amass of oil, and is depreciated in 
value several cents per pound in conse¬ 
quence. Creameries that send large quan¬ 
tities ship in refrigerator cars, and the 
butter is taken from these directly into 
cold storage, where it is kept firm and in 
good condition. Some dairymen who 
make first-class butter and have facilities 
for storing it keep the product until 
fall and then ship it directly to customers. 
It must be good butter, well-handled, and 
perfectly packed that will endure this hold¬ 
ing and come out in good shape in the fall. 
Perhaps when farmers combine in buying 
and selling, some scheme will be devised 
by which the smaller shippers may enjoy 
the same advantages now enjoyed by the 
larger. 
Cheese made a very slight advance, but 
the market is dull, and much of the stock 
arriving is of poor quality, owing to the 
extremely hot weather. 
Potatoes —While the area over the 
whole country is reported about the same 
as last year, unfavorable conditions at 
planting time caused a decrease in the 
acreage in some sections. The condition, 
as far as it can be ascertained, is low, about 
the lowest ever reported at this time of 
year. In New York and New England, 
where something like one-fourth of last 
year’s crop was grown, condition is some¬ 
what higher than the average lor the 
country. In most districts there was too 
much moisture at date of planting, and iu 
a few localities vines, which have made a 
luxuriant growth, are beginning to suffer 
from dry weather. No indications of blight 
are noticed, and the absence of the Colorado 
beetle is commented upon. Along the At¬ 
lantic coast from New Jersey to Georgia 
condition is high, and complaints of late 
growth aud injury from unfavorable 
w eather are but seldom made. The usual 
burden of reports is fine promise, especially 
of the early varieties. In the Gulf States 
the early crop has been gathered, the return 
being unusually satisfactory. Dry weather 
has caused some apprehension, and in low 
lauds reached by the spring overflow of the 
great water-courses the small area planted 
was somewhat damaged. Occasionally the 
earliest crop was caught and injured 
by the frost and cold weather of 
March, and in parts of Texas the 
cool spring was not favorable to the crop. 
Drought has affected the late crop in Ten¬ 
nessee, though the returns from the early 
planted were satisfactory. Excess of mois¬ 
ture aud cool weather at the tune of plant¬ 
ing make the Kentucky crop late, while iu 
Ohio the condition is reported low as a re¬ 
sult of similar unfavorable conditions dur¬ 
ing the season for planting and early 
growth. Bugs are reported unusually nu¬ 
merous in portionsof Michigan and Indiana, 
though the condition has not been seriously 
damaged. Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska 
return very poor condition, the low State 
averages resulting from injury by drought 
in different localities, though some coun¬ 
ties ot these States report a very favorable 
prospect. The development of potato 
rowing iu the Rocky Mountain region has 
eeu very rapid during the past few years, 
the crop being one of the most important 
grown there. The condition throughout 
this region is high, except iu Colorado, 
where from local causes it is reduced to 82. 
In this market the supply is ample and 
prices have declined somewhat. An excep¬ 
tional feature this week were orders from 
St. Louis lor Long Island potatoes, as high 
as $3 per barrel being paid for some very 
fine lots.
