THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
(CONTINUED.) 
that the condition is 57 per cent of a full average. 
Last year, on the first of this month, the condi¬ 
tion of wheat was 51 per cent. Rye, barley and 
clover are also reported badly winterkilled. The 
fruit prospect is 34 per cent. 
The official statistics of the exports of butter 
from Denmark in 1895, show that the total amount 
sent to foreign markets was 129,690,000 pounds, 
almost exactly the quantity recorded in 1894. It 
appears, however, that the imports reached only 
33,660,000 pounds, against 41,400,000 pounds in 1894. 
It is estimated, therefore, that there was an in¬ 
crease of about 8,000,000 pounds in the home pro¬ 
duction last year. The total exports to Great 
Britain are given as 126,500,000 pounds, of which 
more than 110,000,000 pounds was the product of 
Danish farms, the rest having come from other 
countries bordering on the Baltic. 
The Indiana Bureau of Statistics has been col¬ 
lecting information about the winter wheat crop. 
Reports have been received from 593 townships, 
representing every county but one in the State, 
and the result is a decided falling off both in 
acreage and condition, as compared with last 
year. The general average for the State is 90.4, 
and the condition is 74.7. The principal cause 
giveD for the falling off in the condition of the 
crop, is that in many places the drought last fall 
retarded the growth of the young plant, and 
caused it to enter the winter in bad shape, and 
deteriorated with the alternate freezing and 
thawing. March weather was very injurious to 
Indiana wheat where it was not protected by 
snow.

CORN 
Mammoth Yellow Flint 
WORLD’S RECORD BREAKER. 
243 Bushels from One Peck of Seed! 
Is beyond a shadow of 
doubt the purest, hand- 
somest, heaviest yielding 
flint variety we have in this 
broad country of ours. It 
grows to good height. Each 
stalk bears from two to four 
ears under good cultivation. 
Among the very desirable 
qualities of this wonderful 
Corn can be mentioned its 
enormous size; the ears being 
the longest of any variety of 
corn that is grown, either 
Flint or Dent. Our stock of 
seed is from ears that are 10 
inches and upwards in leugth 
Our growers select our seed 
ears at the time of harvest¬ 
ing, and they are given the 
most careful attention from 
that time until we pack them 
in bags ready for shipment. 
This year our crop gives us 
an average yield of from 140 
to 180 bushels of ears per 
acre, shelling out from 60 to 
90 bush els of fi rst-class A No. 1 
shelled corn per acre. The 
great desideratum in a corn 
for Northern Farmers is that 
it should ripen early. The 
Mammoth Flint which we 
offer becomes fully matured 
within 100 days from date of 
planting in any latitude. 
It is the best flint corn 
ever offered for field 
culture, and wherever 
tried for ensilage, it has 
proved a bonanza. 
One peck, 15 lbs., enough 
to plant one acre, 50 cents; 
one bushel, $1.50; 10 bushels, 
$12.50, bags free. 
O. D. Blanchard, of New 
Hampshire, grew 243 bushels 
of this corn from one peck 
last year. You can do as 
well. Try it.
