The cultivation of the beet root snd manu-
facture of sugar therefrom is still in its in
fancy in this coutry. In Europe, more espe-
cially France and Germany, the beet root
crop has come to be a most important one to
the farmer, since the bulk of the sugar con-
sumed in those countries is manufactured
from it, and the fsilue of the crop or even
its deterioration, seriously affects the supply
of this important article of diet
On Friday Of last week II Normandy stall
lions were shipped from New York to Will
mington, Illinois, where, after recovering
from the effects of their ocean passage from
France, they will be sold. They are of diff
ferent coors, although most of their coats
were dapple gray, with spots peculiar to
those horses. In weight they range from
1000 to 1900 pounds, but were expected to
gain about 200 pounds each in a few weeks.
The importer expects that most Of the stall
lions will go to California. Thery are valued
at from $1,000 to $1,000 each.
An echange says: In feeding hogs great
care should be taken to vary their diet as
much as possible and fresh, pure water should
be accessible at all times in order to keep
them in thrifty, fattening condition. The
hog is a most peculiar constructed animal.
He will eat anything that is eatable, be it ev-
or 30 foul or ever 30 fine, but the fact that he
will make such promiscuous glutton of
himself is no reason why he will not do bet
ter on certain kinds of diet and with certain
kinds of treatment than others. They should
be provided with sh tier when the wealth
er is rouph, for in order TO make hog fatten
rapidly, without any waste of material %
must BIS kept warm and comfortable.
The French custom-house authorizes have
Issued their statement for the first eight
months Of the current year. The most strik-
ing feature is the excess Of imports over ex-
ports, which amounts to no less than 1,098,-
0O0,000. This is to be explained partly by
the bad harvest of last year, which obliged
France TO import hroadstuffs to the value of
1856 600, the average figure ranging between
100000 and 100000, and partly by the
phylloxera, which considerably diminished
the export of wines. OF manufactured
goods, on the other hand, France has expor-
ted 1lS0000,000 worth, and i'm I ed only
292, 100000. Another remarkab. sature,
which marks the steady development of
French commerce and wealth, is that every
item in the accounts show rise when COM
pared with the corresponding figures of last
year.
The Kansas City Price Current of the 10Th
inst. says The apple crop is now being harv-
ested, and is large beyond precedent. Never
before in the history of this country has the
crop been so universally good. Reports from
every quarter Of the country indicate most
abundant yield. In some sections the pro-
duction is so large that they are said 10 be
hardly worth gathering. In many places 10
to 10 cents per bushel on the farm is thought
good price. The orchard meH of the east
ern states will be forced this season to conhne
themselves pretty closely 20 the eastern and
foreign markets, as both Missouri and Kan
sas have splendid crop. Not only is the
yield large throughout this section, but the
apples are unusually line snd would be cor
sidered so in any part of the union. Our
packers who previous years were compelled
to 60 elsewhere for many of their apples are
buying ali they can handle right at their
doors at pretty much their own figures.
Dealers that year ago were snx Gus BUYERS
for future delivery, will only buy now for i'm.
mediate wants and orders, and are advising
their country friends to hold their late varie.
ties as long as possible. Fortunately we have
large mountain trade to supply, and apples
hsve been shipped west in immense quantities.
The receipts have kept large even for the
demand, and the market weak The best
wagon receipts are now selling at 20 to soc
per bushe at packers doors, while shipped
in stock is hard to move at SOC to 81 90 per
barrel. This unusual crop of apples evidences
growth in their culture the past few years
that is really surprising and must greatly
stimulate our growing foreign trade in this
most wholesome of fruit. In this country
their abundance and cheapness have given TO
them very important place in household
economy, and brought them into that uni
versal consumption hitherto unknown.
