Prospects of the Fall and Winter
Trade.

From the L. s. Economist
The present condition Of the fall
trade in this city is more satisfact-
DRY than could have been expected
few months ago. There is de-
cided activity in general business,
and commodities of all kinds are
changing hands with freedom. The
movements OF brcadstutfs are deci-
dedly active. The heavy shipments
of grain from the West, consigned
to Eastern ports, produced quite a
pressure for fret ght accommodation
| that caused an advance of cent a
bushcl few days ago in the wheat
rates between Buffalo and Albany.
1t is now quite certain that there
will be a very heavy canal business
during the balance Of the season.
The through lines of railroad are
also employed to their utmost ca
pacity.
There is every reason to expect
that this activity will continue
There is more grain III store in the
Western shipping ports than can be
conveniently carried by holders, and
the quantity is constantly incrcas-
ing. There is a very strong, and
probably a well founded impression
in the West that an active export
demand in the winter will force up
prices here. But speculation is
checked by the expense Of carrying
stocks, and the pressure of arrivals
from the interior, farmers being
busily engaged in sending their
grain to market. Besides, there is
large surplus Of last years crop
holding over, and some of it is said
to be in a damaged condition. How
ever this may be, it is certain that
Il combination Of causes are in OPP
Grafton tending to promote a gcncr-
al activity in business. When the
farmers realize on their products
they buy cotton, clothes, farming
utensils and other commodities, and
liquidatc their store bills. The
country merchants are thus enabled
to buy freely and pay promptly.
The West has "A very large surplus
Of products to sell, and will pur-
chase to a corresponding extent.
All that is required is to facilitate
the transfer Of commodities; and,
fortunately, this condition is not
wanting. The money market is
easy and likely to remain so for
some time to come. Last year the
"Scptcmber Gold Panic" locked up
money just in time to destroy the
fall trade, the prospects of which
were previously all that could be de-
sired; a similar contingency at this
time is scarcely possible.

sGather;ng Corn.

First, as to the time Of husking.
In general we say, husk corn early.
Of course, for cribbing it must be
dry enough to keep. But we prefer
to husk, even where it is so early
that much sorting is necessary,
rather than let it remain in the field
until bad Fall weather sets in. In
many years observation, we have
found that the best farmers in our
ncighborhood always had their corn
in their cribs early, while the worst
farmers were always behind-hand
in this as in everything else, and
we presume the same state Of things
exists in every neighborhood where
there are good and bad farmers.
Every one should bear in mind
that when corn is left unhusked late
where it has not been cut up and
put in shocks, that many will break
down or bend over in such way
that their cars will reach the ground,
where becoming wet, they rot.
Much is lost in this way by leaving
the corn late in the field. And still
another argument in favor of early
| husking is, that it can be done with
so much more comfort in pleasant
| weather than in bad weather. There
is no machine for husking corn, at
least none that we know of, that is
worth having. The husker's strong
hand and the old-fashioncd peg must
do the work. 1t thus being Il rather
slow process, the necessity is great
er for getting the work done before
the long rains and bitter freezes of
late fall and early winter.
In husking, where the work has
not been done before, it will pay the
farmer well to save some Of the best
ears as he goes along for seed. In
this way he gets the finest ears Of
the whole field. Whereas, by neg
Letting to preserve the finest ears in
the fail, and waiting till spring to
sort them out of the crib, the guam
tity to select from is greatly dimln-
ished, and as good ears cannot be
obtained. 1t is well to obtain for
seed those ears that ri pen earliest
and those that are the most solid,
the most regular and the best filled
out at both ends. Let no farmer
who wishes to do well in the cult
walton of this great crop, neglect to
use great care in the selecting OF
seed. Much depends upon this.
In husking the corn in the field,
the neat huskcr will remove all the
husks from the ear, and also the
greater part of the silk. In throw
ing it into the crib, the shoyeler
must have his eye upon his work so
that no green ears will get into the
crib. One green ear carelessly al
lowed a place in a crib, will not on
| " mould itself, but it will injurc
many other ears around. The soft
ears should be fed to the pigs or
calves.
The best way to get good corn
| fodder is to cut stalks before husk-
ing, some time in September, and
! then husk the corn out of the shock
| This process makes the best fodder,
and we hope all our farmer readers
have part of their crop in this
shape. But those who have not,
and MANY who have. will find that
it will pay them well to cut up a
few acres of stalks even after the
corn is husked off for cribbing. Cut
them and shock them in the field
where they may remain until needed
for winter feeding, when they may
be easily loaded on sleds and con
vcyed to the barnyard.-We conn

Cheese for Home Markets.

The following timely suggestions
on this subject are by the dairy
editor of the R,uM Nem- Iorh'er .
eve believe if more attention
was paid to the requirements Of the
home trade, there would be much
larger consumption of cheese, at
better prices to the producer, and
more profits to the numerous small
dealers in all our country towns and
villages. The home trade in all the
leading chese-producing counties
is managed on the plan of 'consum-
ing at home that which the dairy
man is ashamed to sell abroad.
The poor, second grade and refuse
cheese is carried to the neighboring
village by dairymen, and peddled
out to the grocer, who buys, OF
course, at low rates, and sells at the
market rate Of the best. The better
way would be to send this stuff to
the large cities, selling it for what
it is, since in larger cities there is
always demand Tor low-prlccd
cheese, to supply certain class.
\ low-class cheese is not wanted in
the country, especially among a
community which has some know
ledge of what good cheese is.
"The system inaugurated by oul
home dealers and dairymcn opera
ties to decrease the consumption OF
cheese in the cheese dairying dis
trlcts from year to year. 1t should
be abandoned, and only the finest
grades of cheese be placed upon the
counters Of our grocers. In this
way, every chcese-producing county
would soon find good market al
home for a considerable portion OF
its goods, which now too often seek
distant market, at prices too low
for any profit to the producer"

A GLOWING account of the crop prospect
in Upton county is that given by the
Record. 1t says: ''Last year we commenced
making large estimates of our cron pros
poets little too soon; the rust came along
and destroyed much of our expectations
This year we concluded to wait until we
might say with safety that large or small
crop would be produced in Upton. This
year the crop in the county, taken on the
whole, will far exceed any since the great
year of 1855. Cotton was never looking
better; more than third larger crop viii
be raised this year than last, and the crop
of last year was an average one. The corn
is in fine condition, and may rightly be
considered out of danger; the yield will
be large to the acreage. Our farmers tell
us that the cotton has shed fewer bolls this
year than ever before, and that more
squares appear Oh the stock than usual.
This is owing to the splendid season we
have had in the past two or three weeks.
Last year Upton shipped over twelve
thousand bales, and we think we may
safely predict that the amount of crops
this year will be over fifteen thousand
bales, at an average of]sfiYe hundred
pounds to the bale. "=---------
