The Bureau of Agriculture proposes to pub
fish from month to month the freight rates of
the railway and steamboat lines. As the mar
ket value of farm produce depends largely
upon the cost of transportation, systematic
and trustworthy publication of the freight
rates for the whole country would be of great
advantage to our American farmers. We
would, however, suggest to the commissioner
of agriculture that such q publication to be
OF value must be issued promptly. list of
freight rates published three months after its
adoption by the transportation companies
would be of about equal value with last years
almanac. Cultioato7'.
The Cultivator's suggestion seems peril
nent. The annual reports of the department
are distributed about two years after their
date, when much of the matter which they
contain is antiquated Aud the agricultural
department is not the only slow-moving gov
ernmental machine. Uncle Sam has now
very large family to look after, and it takes
time to provide for them all besides, official
dignity might be compromised by quick move
ments. 1t is more than two years since the
completion of the census of 1880 by the emu
merators, but when the final reports will be
ready for distribution is as yet predetermined.

The New York Times of the 2Sth ult., un
der the head of 'Notes from the Field and
Garden" in an article on Moles says, "a few
moles win do great amount of mischief, for
if only half dozen occupy about one acre of
ground they will in few days bore and bur
row this space nearly all over. One cannot
but admire their industry, but so far as the
farm and the garden are concerned it is labor
expended in the wrong direction, and there
fore, the moles are worse than tho cut worms
and the grubs, for they destroy all vegetation
where they pass and repass, by lifting the soil
and drying it out by letting the air in SO that
the roots are killed" The above think con-
tains about as much error as could well be
condensed into the same space, and lest the
farmers follow the example of the writer of
the above and carry on a war of extermina-
ton against the moles, wish to say a word
in their defence. have watched the work
Of these little animals for five or six years,
my attention first being called to them by a
corn6eld which was badly infested by wire
worms, aud which for some time seemed to
be at a stand still, until early in July when
it took start and grew rapidly. Upon ex-
animation found the moles had traversed
the field in all directions; the hills were hon
ey-combed by their tracks, and it seemed as
tonishing that they could pass among the
roots of corn without doing harm. Since
then have had repeated experiences of the
same kind, and have them this year in field
and garden" and shall be pleased to show any
one their work. 1 find their tracks on my
meadow every year. both on wet and dry
land, and in no instance have 1 ever known
the grass roots to receive any injury from
their work. They sometimes throw up lit
tie mound of dirt which tries the temper of
both the scythe and the man. But we can
well afford to suffer this annoyance when we
know they are working so efectually in our
interest in destroying the worms. @.

The Department of Agriculture reports an
increase of the area planted in corn of more
than four per cent, or 2, 800, 600 acres. The
average condition of the crop is five per cent.
lower than in this month last year; but the
estimates forJuly last year we're made before
the crop was injured by tho great drouth, SO
that with the increased acreage there is still
possibility, If not proba bility, that the yield
will be considerably larger than last years.
The condition of tho crop in Vermont is
marked 90. We should have judged this too
high the first of this month, but the prospect
is improving, and with favorable weather in
the latter part of the season. full crop of
corn may be harvested. A continuance of
cool weather, with an early frost, would be
disastrous.

The manufacture of cottonseed oil has at
tanned such considerable rank as a domestic
industry that it has been deemed necessary to
assemble a convention of persons interested
in the business in order to promote better
understanding Of the trade and to familiarize
the public with the uses to which the new
product is adapted The convention was held
in New York, and its members represented
mills in operation in Tennessee, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas. The method of making
cOttonseed oil is briefly described as follows
The seed as originally received from the plant.
or is first re-ginned, producing an inferior
cotton, which finds ready sale at about two
cents per pound less than the ordinary grades.
The seed is then stripped of the hulls, which
are utilized for fuel, the ashes making a strong
fertilizer. The oil is obtained by crushing
and pressure, the solid residue or oil-cake be-
ing marketable article for feeding cattle.
The oil, after refining, is mainly exported.
Large quantities are doubtless returned to
this country as olive oil, which refined cot
toDseed oil much resembles in taste and quail
ity. It is used for illumination, for cooking
purposes instead of lard, as an aduterant for
dearer oils, and in manufactures as the basis
of nitro-glycerine. Doubtless the uses to
which this valuable substance may be put will
be largely increased as its qualities become
better known. The seed yields about 35 gal
Ions of crude oil per ton, and the oil sells for
80 cents per gallon at the mills.

Agricultural.


River meadows and dry lands here are
yielding heavy crop of hay. A fow pieces,
however, arc light in consequence OF injury
by the grubs, and many of the hill farmers
complain of light grass from the same cause
and from winter killing; some Of them say
they will have not more than two-thirds Of a
crop, but there arc always such complaints (;
we are confident that when haying is finished
it will be found that tho crop in Windham
county is fully an average IL not above it,
Reports which We haze noticed from towns
in other parts of the state are conflicting,
some representing the hay crop rs unusual
ly heavy and others MS light. At tho begin
ming of the haying season, the agricultural
editor of the Freeman wished ito be put on
record in Vermont NJ a disbeliever in what
we have seen stated in some of the papers Of
the state, that good hay crop is already as
surcd.' We wish we we're half as well assured
that VIC should ever got seven dollars aud a
half that a man owes us as we are that the
hay crop of Vermont is to be a very light one.
In old mowings the grass is thin, and in new
stock the clover has been killed out in many
places and you just remember we tell you a
light hay crop"
Mr.. TinkhHm is certainly a good Judge of
such a matter, but taking the state as a
whole, we hope and believe that he was mis-
taken. If the hay crop is not this year full
average in Vermont IL is an exception to all
the country around us. In New Hampshire,
out Of thirty towns, fourteen report an
average crop Thirteen Il large crop, and
eight less than an average. In New York
state it is said to be excellent, and in large
number of towns in western Massachusetts
from which we have noticed reports OF the
hay crop, in local items, itappears to be good
or above the average.

In order to prolong bearing, peas should
not be gathered unfortunately, as is often
done, but the Oldest pods should be used flrst,
inasmueh as one pod allowed to get old will
weaken the bearing properties of the plant

to gather and throw away than to let them re-
