Hon j: Stanton Gould, president, and Colo
mel b. Is. johnson, secretary of the New York
State Agricultural Society, have prepared
most important circular, from which the fol-
lowing extract is taken:
:" We do hereby make known the existence
OF the rinderpest, or pleuro-pneumonia, among
the COWS in the stables of New York and
Brook yn and earnestly advise all purchasers
OF stock to examine those which are offered for
sale with reference to this disease. We also
advise that, in case the disease makes its an
pearance in any herd, the sick animal be i'm
mediately and rigipy excluded from the rest.
The period of incubation of this disease varies
from tOrty-twO to sixty days.
: 1t is we'll ascertained that this disorder is
strictly infectious. 1t never occurs where the

eased animal The meat of animals suffering
from peuro-pneumonia is dangerous when used
as human food. 1t is very probable that the
diseased herds which are now being excluded
from the city will be offered for sale at very
low prices to farmers. This contingency calls
for additional precautions on the part of pur-
chaSers.

Is that the crops will turn out we'll although
IN some quarters excessive rains are complained
OF. The wheat throughout Georgia has been
harvested, and although the crop is by no
means excellent, it turns out better than was
anticipated some years ago. Along the lower
MISSISSIPPI frequent crevasses have caused
great destruction. In Southern Illinois the
wheat crop is said to be a failure, but corn is
promising we'll. In Ohio and Indiana the
wheat promises very badly, but in Iowa, Wis

of twenty five years industry. On Tuesday he
