pigs with serious defects in shape or consti¬ 
tution, keeping only such as give promise 
of vigor and general usefulness, both plain 
and fancy, as there are buyers for both 
classes the year ’round. The culls amount 
to from five to 15 percent, of the entire get, 
the proportion depending on whether I had 
been experimenting with a new boar or in 
some other way. 
In 1878 I lost 38 aged grade hogs and 100 
igs from cholera. I tried all the then 
nown remedies. The following year I 
began raising purebreds. In 1884 I sold all 
but a few, intending to take these to Min¬ 
nesota; but while I was away from home 
two days, all those under one year old took 
yellow scours, and died, and were buried 
when I got home. I was away from Illinois 
during the two following years, and thus 
missed the great plague of 1884 and 1885. 
Since my return my stock has been entirely 
free from cholera; but I frequently lose 
late fall pigs at teething time, usually 
when six to eight weeks old. 1 have had 
no experience with cholera remedies, and 
have little faith in any. d. p. mccracken.

Apples, Bone Meal and Skim-Milk.— 
I have never fed any apples or boDe meal to 
my cows. I have used skim milk instead 
of water to dampen the ground feed; but 
have not fed enough to notice any effect 
from its use. There is no doubt it is a 
wholesome feed and worth probably some¬ 
what more than would be the same chem¬ 
ical elements in the form of grain. Ordin¬ 
arily all.of my skim-milK is required for the 
calves. j. mclain smith. 
Dayton, Ohio. 
I have never made a business of feeding 
apples to cows; but they have occasionally 
eaten them in the orchard with no bad ef¬ 
fect. I feel quite confident, however, that 
sweet apples would increase the flow of 
milk. Neither do I feed skim-milk to them, 
but I have a neighbor who does so, with ex¬ 
cellent results. He is a close figurer, and 
counts his skim-milk worth ‘35 cents per 100 
pounds for that purpose. He feeds the 
milk mixed with ground corn, oats and 
wheat bran. I do not believe in feeding 
bone meal to cattle, preferring to use phos¬ 
phate of lime instead. I mix the phosphate 
with salt—one part of the former to seven 
of the latter. JOHN BOYD. 
Chicago, Ill. 
I HAVE made it a practice to feed sweet 
apples to milch cows—about half a bushel 
at a mess, mashed—and have always got 
more milk while they held out. I have 
never fed large quantities, nor have I ever 
fed any except sweet apples. Last season 
my cows were in a pasture where there 
were many apple trees of several varieties. 
They ate ail the windfalls, and I did not 
notice any decrease in the flow of milk. 
The apples seemed to take the place of 
other feed in keeping up the flow ; for the 
pasture got pretty poor about apple time, 
it may be only a **notion” of mine; but I 
do not look on skim-miltc as a proper food 
for milch cows. I have fed it with good 
results to calves until they were over a year 
old, and never had any trouble from their 
sucking each other or the cows. I think it 
will pay better if fed to poultry, in limited 
quantity, than in any other way. Bone- 
meal 1 have never used. I prefer to get 
what I believe is practically the same re¬ 
sult by feeding some ground oats in the 
feed. F. M. CAKBYL.

Early Importers of Minorca Poultry, 
—The three first importers of Minorcas, and 
the men who principally promoted their 
introduction were : F. A. Mortimer, Potts- 
ville, Pa.; J. D. Xevius, 304 Walnut Place; 
and Capt. R. W. Sargeant, Kittery, Me. 
The former is perhaps still the largest 
breeder and importer,and won the gold cups 
at the International Show of the American 
Poultry Association at Indianapolis Other 
importers who have since become prominent 
are: Willard Kuapp, Fabius, X. Y., and 
Jessie Robers, Erie, Pa. 
Galloways Getting There.— Richard 
Sykes, of Larchwood, Iowa, says in a re¬ 
cent note: ‘‘My experience is that owing 
to the low and unremuuerative prices paid 
of late for range cattle and, indeed, for all 
horned stocK, there is little demand for 
good, high-bred bulls. 1 breed Galloways 
and have no difficulty in selling yearling 
bulls, but the price, which averages $100 
apiece, does not pay, as my imported bull 
cost me -14350 three or four years ago, and 
my heifers then averaged 8150 each. 1 have 
no faith in the f uture of the range business, 
uuless prices rise at least 30 per cent. My 
bulls are all sold as yearlings to the farm¬ 
ers and breeders in Iowa, Minnesota and 
the Dakotas. They do not go to the ranges.” 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
SATURDAY. August 33, 1S90. 
The first American Farmers’ Encamp¬ 
ment was opened at Mount Gretna, Pa., 
last Sunday with religious services in the 
auditorium. Rev. Dr. 'l'almage preached a 
sermon peculiarly appropriate to the occa¬ 
sion and the audience. He was born and 
reared on a farm and understands full well 
the trials and hardships of the farmer’s 
life. He scored the politicians who go about 
Haltering the farmers with fine words and 
deceiving them with specious promises, and 
expressed the hope that this encampment 
would do something to lift the burdens from 
the farmers’ shoulders and better their con¬ 
dition. The encampment closes to-day 
after a session so successful as to assure a 
permanent annual exhibition. 
Tne farmers of Warren County, N. J., 
are considerably agitated over the Canadian 
thistle question, and several suits have been 
* 
brought to test the legality of the law that 
provides a penalty of 25 cents for each stock 
allowed to mature. Two of the suits were 
put down for trial to day, while many other 
farmers are hard at work destroying the 
pests for fear of being prosecuted. 
A mare known as Old Kate was burned 
to death at Cincinnati last week, which was 
imported from Canada in 1846. She was 
supposed to be a little over 45 years old. 
Six or eight representative British farm¬ 
ers and three delegates of leading agricul¬ 
tural societies will visit Manitoba and the 
Northwest as a suitable field for settlement. 
A number of British farmers went to Can¬ 
ada on a similar mission seven or eight years 
ago, and their reports, which were published 
and scattered broadcastvthroughout Great 
Britain, had a most beneficial effect in pro¬ 
moting immigration to Canada. 
In accordance with a previous resolution, 
the Secretary of State has submitted to the 
Senate a letter and a mass of correspond¬ 
ence between Minister Reid and the French 
representative, relative to the prohibition 
of American pork and its products. It is 
admitted by the French government that 
they are now excluded upon economic in¬ 
stead of sanitary grounds. Mr. Reid makes 
a strong plea for their admission, and 
while deprecating anything like retalia¬ 
tion, hints that such action would be a 
greater injury to France than the prohibi¬ 
tion of pork is to this country, as we im¬ 
port more from France than it ever has 
from us. 
During the four weeks ending August 
16, 4,650 baskets of apples were marketed 
from the orchards or John S. Collins, 
Moorestown, N. J. The varieties were 
mostly Summer Bough, Hagloe, Parry 
White and Orange Pippin. They brought 
from 25 cents for culls to $1.25 per basket 
for prime. The trees have been sprayed 
with a solution of eight to 12 ounces of 
Paris-green to 100 gallons of water annually 
for the past six years : this year they were 
sprayed directly after the blossoms fell and 
once about 10 days later. 
Engineers are at work on an extension of 
a farmers’ railroad, which, when com¬ 
pleted, will extend from White House 
Station on the N. J. C. R. R. to Morris¬ 
town, a distance of 25 miles. The work 
has been, and will be done by the farmers. 
Those living along the line have done the 
grading and furnished the ties, taking 
their pay in stock of the road. They have 
also bought enough stock to buy the rails 
and rolling stock, and they will operate the 
road they have built. The road will carry 
Lehigh coal into Morristown, and will 
break the monopoly now existing there. It 
is estimated that on this one item alone a 
saving to that section of $40,000 annually 
will be effected. This last item insures the 
sympathy and aid of all the people on the 
route.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The last bulletin issued in relation to 
the Manitoba wheat crop puts the average 
yield at 35 bushels per acre and the total crop 
at 30,000,000 bushels. Harvesting is nearly 
over and the weather has been favorable. 
Flour is on the rise. A lot of 1,000 
barrels of city mill patent sold for $6 50. 
“Kobber Gem” is the way a lot of 
water-melons were designated in this city 
this week. 
Stocks of flour are the smallest for the 
season in many years caused partly by 
heavier shipments to Western and South¬ 
ern markets which offer relatively better 
prices. 
A SMALL lot of Delaware peaches sold on 
Tuesday for $3 per basket. 
New rice is in market. The supply of 
domestic has been almost exhausted for 
some time. 
The special fruit manifest of the Penn¬ 
sylvania Railroad reports two baskets and 
one crate of Delaware peaches shipped, 
whereas the usual shipment is 5,000 car¬ 
loads. 
Butter and cheese have brought in¬ 
creased prices during the week because of 
decreased receipts consequent upon the 
railroad troubles. 
Reports recently received show that 
there is a serious shortage in the potato 
crop in Ireland owing to rot and blight in 
some parts. One correspondent says that 
owing to the long-continued spell of wet 
weather the crops in many of the islands 
and land close to the seaboard have been 
touched by the blight, in some cases badly; 
but taking the inland districts into ac¬ 
count, with a continuance of good weather, 
a pretty fair crop is expecteu. There are 
always rumors of damage at this season of 
the year. Potatoes in County Dublin and 
Wicklow promise a very heavy crop. It is 
too soon to judge as to the later kinds, but 
in some places they are reported as over¬ 
grown and soft. There are also reports of 
potatoes rotting badly in Scotland. This 
will affect the situation in this country, as 
large quantities of potatoes were brought 
from there last year to supply the existing 
shortage. With a poor crop at home and 
the principal sources of foreign supply cut 
off, it is difficult to see how anything but 
high prices can prevail during the coming 
winter. 
Peaches sell for eight to 10 cents each on 
up-town stands. 
Louisiana promises a heavy crop of sugar. 
Five loads of corn were taken this week 
on a steamer for Europe, free of freight 
charges. 
Prices on grain would permit profitable 
importations from Europe. A rumor was 
current here recently that Baltimore had 
bought wheat from the Other side, but it 
transpired that a vessel which had loaded 
there had been ordered back when arriving 
out without breaking bulk. 
Cotton promises to be a heavy crop. 
Cattle shipments to Europe are lighter. 
The freight rate has been lowered from 65 
shillings to 50 shillings. 
Old hay is about out of stock. New hay 
is plentiful and prices remain about the 
same. 
Last Sunday night great apprehensions 
of frost were felt throughout Manitoba. 
As it was, 33 degrees was the lowest point 
reached and crops are safe for a season. 
Twenty ear loads, comprising about 
25,000 water-melons, were sold at auction 
Monday in less than 10 minutes. They 
came all the way from Charleston, Mo. The 
lowest price per hundred was $16.50 and the 
highest $19.50.

GRAIN MARKETS. 
WHEAT.-The Northwestern news was rather more 
favorable, wltn milder weather In most parts, and 
to this was ascribed the early weakness. Wall Street 
concerns were free sellers, and that also helped the 
downward movement. But the cable accoums were 
sirong and higher, and there was free buying by 
foreign element at Intervals, besides several large 
operators bought heavily at the West, all of which 
contributed to the rise. Bradstieet reports a 
decrease of 4J6.00J bushels for the week in available
