The Boston journal of July - SAYS :
I'VE must look this year to Nova Scotia,
Maine and California for apples. In the
great apple belt of western New York, the
prospect of the crop is discouraging, and it
is said that the situation is still worse in
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Ohio and
Michigan" This will encourage Maine or
chardsts to hope for high prices the coming
winter, and inspire them to give good care
to their apple orchards. Prices are not low
every wear. and once in a while comes a
great bonanza of receipts to the farmer
who has thrifty, productive orchard.

The Rural New Yorker is of the opinion
that there is great and prosperous open
ing for good judges of milch cows to start
what may be called heifer farms on some
of the cheap lands of the New England
States. Start with herd Of good mich
cows and put Holstein bull at their head.
Beef the steers and raise the heifers for
sale-just before or after calying-to the
farmers who make specially of furnish
ing milk to the large cities of all the
Eastern States. These heifers could be
raised good deal cheaper back from the
railroads-too far for shipping milk--then
the milkmen could raise them. and they
could walk off to market BY raising we'll
bred heifers there would always be a de-
mand for the stock.

Strenuous efforts are being made by
the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture to
prevent the sale of oleomargarine in that
state. Several special agents are employed
who have detected II number of groccrymen
and peddlers in the act of selling it for but
ter. The fine for this oifense is 500.
When the Supreme Court decided that the
law made by the Legislature was
constitutional the board had eases against
100 dealers in the State. These men they
have as yet not prosecuted, for the reason
that they have all consented to go out of
the business, and that is all the board asks.
But should any one of these parties be
caught the second time their case will be
brought into court on both counts.

There are good prospects for the potato
crop in Aroostook county. The Star-Herald
of July 81 says; Aroostook is quite snre
of very large crop, barring the nncer-
tainty stated of rust or rot The potato
fields were never looking better or more
thrifty. In Pennsylvania, as it is stated by
the press, potatoes are almost faiiure.
Not more than half the seed sprouted and
what came up has suffered seriously from
blight. Aroostook potatoes may bring a
good price again the coming fall and winter.

Bran and middlings are ruling low at
present, and yet are frmer than they were
a few weeks ago. The reason for this is
that considerable business has been done in
taking large lines of feed for storage for
winter use, thus tending to stimulate the
market. Pasturage is remarkably good
throughout the country, and the fact that
so much bran has been stored now should
rather decrease the demand later in the sea-
son. This, together with the uncertainty as
to the actual yield of the new crops. rem
ders it somewhat difficult to determine the
probable future course of values of feed.

That the farmer has net been misled by

That the farmer has net been misied by
the specious arguments of the tariff ''re-
formers" in favor of free wool is shown by
the following extract from the Texas
Stockman and Farmer 1.-The free trade
argument concerning free wool does not
hang together. The theorists say to the
workingman: A removal of the duties
will make wool cheaper and
give us lower-priced clothing To the
farmers they say: "A removal Of the duty
will stimulate the manufacture of wooden
fabrics and create such a demand for wool
that sheep-raisers will get higher prices for
it, There is no way of harmonizing them.
If one be true the other is false. In point
of actual fact, neither is true" You can't
fool the American farmer, and the sooner
the Cobdenite learns that the better.
