FARM NOTES.

Southern Livestock Journal: There
is lady near this place who feeds her
chickens literally; she says it is too
hot for the poor things 10 scratch.
The season in Maine is very favora-
bic for farmers. There have been
timely rains during the entire year,
and crops of all kinds are excellent.
John B. Raymond, of Fargo, Dakota,
says that he has harvested this season
$4,000 worth of wheat from a farm
which cost him only $4,000 two year,
ago.
The dairy interest of the United
States represents capital of more
than $1,30O,OO0.OO0, yielding $780,
100000 worth of butter and cheese
annually.
A great shrinkage of milk is reported
in all the dairy regions of the west on
account of the drouth. Some factories
report a shrinkage of 10 per cent in
ten days.
Careful microscopic examination of
the tomatoes in New Jersey, which
have been rotting extensively, shows
that it is the work Of insects and not a
new disease.
1t is the Australian and New Zealand
markets which take much of the sur
plus hops of the Pacific coast. The
amount reaching New York is not be-
lievec to be large.
Over 100000 sheep have been
sheared this year in the state of Mich
igan, and the clip of wool amounts, by
official figures, to 1924, 163 pounds, or
nearly 81 pounds per head.
Among premiums for novelties at
the next Pennsylvania state fair will
be one for best half bushel of silk
cOcoons, one for best wood pulp for
paper, and one for best one hundred
pounds of beet sugar.
A correspondent Of the Farming
World says: Perhaps it will be of value
to some readers of the World for me to
give my cure for lice ON hogs and cattle.
Machine oil will kill them. Apply
either from an ordinary oil can, or a
bottle with quill in the stopper.
have never had it to fail.
Poultry World: Too little attention
is paid to the chickens Matched late in
the season, nearly every breeder sup
posing that they will not amount to
much, and that the care and attention
bestowed on them is at best but poor
pay. Such is not the case. if only a
little extra care is taken of them, so as
to get them well along before the cold
weather sets in.
Memphis Appeal: The drouth has
cut short the supply of corn, and cot
ton growers will have to buy extensive
ly. The price is rapidly going up in
the North; the consequence will be
that the cotton growers will this sea-
son learn to value their corn crops as
they never have done before, and after
this year they will probably grow il
more extensively than they ever did
before. The question of all cotton OF
part corn will be likely to settle itself
10y next spring, but the cost of the de
cisiOn will be great.

The Yorktown Celebration.

Chicago Times.
As the time for holding the York
town centennial celebration approaches
the indications increase that nearly
every state in the union, save a few of
the far western ones, will be represent
ed by their military. The only great
state which now appears certainly not
to be represented is Illinois. This is
to be regretted, as it would be possible
to select a really fine corps from
among the state companies to repre-
sent this commonwealth. Massachu-
sets will send the First corps of In
dependent cadets and two other COM
panies. numbering in all 400 men Con-
neticut will be represented by her
LIST infantry, numbering 1000; New
York will send the 18th infantry.
numbering 700; New Jersey will have
picked battalion, numbering $50:
Delaware will send her LIST infantry.
numbering 400; Maryland will send a
full brigade, numbering LOO; Virgin
ia will be represented by nearly her
entire volunteer force, under the COM
mand of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee; North
Carolina will send her entire state
force, numbering l, 200; South Carolina
will have picked battalion of 800;
Michigan will send full regiment of
$50 men.

A LaPorte, Indiana, paper publishes a
letter written from LeayenwOrth, con-
tanning the statement that the adoption of
the Amendment and the Operation of the
prOhibitOry law had seriously interfered
with the business of the Brown Medicine
and Manufacturing Co. We called at the
Office of this Company to learn the condi-
ton OF their trade since the first of Nav,
and found by reference to their books
that during the month of May their sales
were twenty per cent. greater than any
previous month since the organization of
the Company, and forty per cent. in excess
Of the sales for the month of May, 1880
and that their sales for June and July are
fifty per cent. greater than the same
months of last year.
A walk through the four floors of the
Brown Medicine Company's large estab-
lishment will satisfy any one that there is
marked increase in their trade, notwith-
standing they do not manufacture a single
article in violation of the prohibitory law.
