$100 IN CASH PRIZES TO BE EASILY 
EARNED. 
How easy that $100 was won by the Sep¬ 
tember club raisers I Don’t yon wish that 
you had tried T The winners in every case 
got more money than we received for the 
subscriptions, and, in some cases, three or 
four times as much. Now we do not be¬ 
lieve that our subscribers propose to let 
these prizes go so cheaply. 
This time, however, it is necessary for us 
to get a little more out of it, and, we trust, 
in place of the 15 competitors in the last 
competition, that there will not be less 
than 100 in this one. The offer follows : 
$ 1 OO In cash given for 25-cent 
Trial Subscriptions. 
We will extend any subscriber’s subscrip¬ 
tion for one full year from the time of its 
expiration, who will send us 15 ten weeks’ 
trial subscriptions for The R. N.-Y. at 25 
cents each. 
The $100 cash offer is as follows: We 
will give $100 in TEN amounts of $35, $20, 
$10, $5, $5, $5, $5, $5, $5 $5, respectively, 
to the TEN present subscribers who will 
send us before December 1, the TEN larg¬ 
est numbers of trial subscriptions (all new 
names), for The Rural New-Yorker for 
10 weeks at 25 cents each; or The Ameri¬ 
can Garden, for three months at 25 cents 
each. 
The senders of these competition clubs are also 
entitled to any of the very liberal premiums offered 
in the Premium List, or a liberal cash commission 
will be given if preferred, in lieu of the year’s sub 
scrlption. 
Thus you will get well paid any way for 
your trouble, and may be doubly paid. 
The only way we can afford this is by hun¬ 
dreds taking up the offers and sending 
us in thousands of the trial subscriptions, 
many of which would become regular sub¬ 
scriptions. Sample copies for use in this 
work sent on application.

Dive Stock Notes. 
The Tennessee sales of Jerseys will be 
held October 14—16, at Nashville, Tenn. 
P. C Kellogg & Co., New York, an¬ 
nounce a combination sale of Jerseys for 
November 6—7. 
One of our subscribers in Texas has de¬ 
veloped an excellent trade in Jersey grade 
cows for dairymen in Mexico. 
Smiths, Powell & Lamb’s French Coach 
stallion Franconi, has won the first prize 
at the New York State Fair two years in 
succession.

recent R. N.-Y., have been shown at the 
fairs this fall, where they have been given

The Mark Lane Express says that 
glanders and farcy are very prevalent 
among horses in London. Last year, in 
Great Britain, 1,211 animals were attacked 
with glanders and 1,037 with farcy. Of tbo 
glandered horses, 1.185 were killed, 23 died 
and three recovered. 
The Holstein cow Silvia 53, owned in 
Denver, Col., yielded, in seven days, 528 
pounds four ounces of milk, from which 
were made 28 pounds 3% ounces of butter. 
Her daily feed consisted of eight pounds of 
wheat bran, eight pounds of cotton-seed 
meal, eight pounds of corn-meal and four 
pounds of palm nut meal, with green 
Alfalfa and green corn fodder. 
Mr. S. P. Clarke, Dover, Ill., breeder of 
Galloway cattle, writes as follows:—“My 
sales of bulls are mostly made to parties 
living in this State; the next best demand 
is from Iowa, and then from Indiana. A 
considerable number go to Nebraska, some 
of which are taken by the ranchmen. There is 
no doubt that the crop of yearling and two- 
year old calves is much shorter than usual 
in the West, on account of the heavy sales 
of cows and heifers during the last three 
years. The present shortage of calves will 
tell on the supply ef cows in the next few 
years. My stocK are all doing very finely.” 
The annual Fat Stock Show will be held 
at Chicago, November 13—22. During the 
week the following live stock meetings

Miller & Sibley send the following ac¬ 
count of two butter tests:—“La Petite 
Pogis 28757, for the seven days endiug Au¬ 
gust 3, gave 233 pounds of milk, which 
yielded 20 pounds 10% ounces of butter. 
She was six years old at the time of the 
test, which was made about four weeks 
after she had dropped her fifth calf, a bull 
by Ida’s Rioter of St. L. 13656. La Petite 
Pogis is by Titan 8548, a great-grandson 
of Eurotas, and is strongly inbred to the 
animals that appear in her pedigree, trac¬ 
ing twice to her sire, the pure Dauncey 
bull, Rioter 2nd, ten times to Saturn, and 
nine times to Rhea; the two latter animals 
constitute the only blood elements in the 
dam of Eurotas. The dam of La Petite 
Pogis was La Petite Mere 2nd 12810, which 
has a yearly record of 660 pounds four 
ounces of butter and 16,699% pounds of 
milk, her milk record being higher for a 
year that that of any other cow in the Jer¬ 
sey breed. She is, as many of The Rural 
readers know, a daughter and a grand¬ 
daughter of Stoke Pogis 1259, imported, 
which was sire also of Matilda 4th, Stoke 
Pogis 3d and Stoke Pogis 5th. 
The other test is that of Princess Aurea 
Pogis 39266, which made 17 pounds 7% 
ounces of butter from 208% pounds of milk 
for seven days, from August 27 to Septem¬ 
ber 2, inclusive. She had calved about five 
weeks previous. This makes 14 daughters 
of her sire, Stoke Pogis 5th 5987, which have 
gone into the 14-pound list. As we have 
before stated in the columns of The Rural, 
we expect that he will eventually outrank 
his brother, Stoke Pogis 8d, in the number 
of tested daughters, though their average 
record will be somewhat lower on account 
of their being younger at the time of the 
tests. The dam of Princess Aurea Pogis 
is Gol l Princess 8809, test 14 pounds 12 
ounces, in whose pedigree are such well- 
known butter sources as Jerry 15, Land¬ 
seer 331, Potomac 153, etc. The weight in 
each case was of the butter when ready for 
market, salted at the rate of one ounce to 
the pound.” _ 
THE GREAT JERSEY SHOW. 
The semi-centennial celebration of the 
Western New York Fair Association held 
at Rochester, September 22nd to the 26th, 
was a decided success. In connection with 
the fair and under the auspices of the West¬ 
ern New York Jersey Cattle Breeders’ As¬ 
sociation there was held a Jersey show— 
the largest ever held in the world. The 
W. N. Y. J. C. B. Association was organ¬ 
ized in 1888, and since that time it has been 
a powerful factor in bringing the superior 
merits of the dun-colored beauties to pub 
lie notice, and it is owing to the untiring 
efforts of the association, and especially of 
Secretary, L. D. Ely, that the recent show 
was so successful. The largest number of 
entries heretofore at any Jersey show, 
either here in America or across the 
water, was only 219, while at Rochester 
there were 542 entries on the books and 
most of them were filled. No cash prizes 
were awarded by the association, but dip¬ 
lomas were given to the owners of animals 
that scored a certain number of points. 
Cattle scoring 90 points or over were “very 
highly commended;” 85 or over, “highly 
commended 80 or over, "commended.” 
The results in the various classes were as 
follows: 
Aged bulls, 18 in the class: First, 
Corinth, owned by L. D. Ely, Rochester, 
score 87%; second, Elm Place Corinth, 
owned by Mr. Ely, score 87%; third, Victor 
F., owned by Peer & Sunderlin, Rochester, 
score 87. 
Two to three-year-old bulls. 10 in the 
ring: First, Cretesia’s Albert Pogis, R. A.

89%; third tie between St. Holbert, Geo. L 
■Williams, Buffalo, and Oxford Boy also 
owned by Mr. Williams, score 87%. 
One to two-year-old bulls, 14 in the ring: 
First, Van of St. Lambert, E. Fitzgerald, 
Troy, score 89%; second, Seneca’s Victor, 
L. D. Ely, Rocuester, score 88.
