EASTERN FARMING.

The following extracts fr am the
Cooperstown,( IN. Y.)Freeman's Journal,
enc of the very best and most conscen-
tiousv edited weekly papers in the
broad expense of the earth, has an arti-
Gle relative to the condition OF the farm
ers in that section Of country where di-
yersifed farming is the rule, which may
furnish food tor reflection. When it is
considered that Otsego county is one OF
the toughest and most rugged in the
mountainous district of New York, where
level fields of dozen acres are almost
unknow and when half the are culti-
waited is turned oyer with side hill
plow, implement wholly unknown in
the west! a county, vast areas of
which are absolutely beyond cultivation
by reason of perceptions stone cliffs and
steep mountain sides, and cut into
small farms, the showing given below is
the more remarkable. That paper says.
There are about 5000 farms in the
county of Otsego, the great body Of
them owned by the fairness living on
them. On about one third of these
farms. say two 1000 in round numbers,
there are hop yards of some size, which
average about six acres, making All ag-
gregate of say $4,000 acres. That
leaves upwards OF 1000 farmers in OF
sego county on which no hops are
grown.
$50 it appears that the farmers who
feel in a direct way the effects of low
prices for hops, do not exceed one fourth
OF the whole number, and those who
got the highest prices paid for the crops
of 1S93-'94, are not among the num-
ber- In an indirect way the business
men throughout the country feel the
effects of low prices for hops; the farm
ers not engaged in their culture. are but
little affected by the price.
1.-The prices paid for the products of
the dairy, for apples, eggs, hay, pota,
toes, poultry, ETC., have averaged COM
paratIvely we'll during the past two
years. Wool has been low; but Otsego
farmers keep few sheep. At this time a
dollar will buy more OF the goods which
a family needs-clothing, boots and
shoes, blankets, carpets, groceries, etc.,
than at any time since the civil war.
Wages. as a rule, have not come down
any-and So much the better for the
wage-earners.
LAS was recently shown in this paper
there is now on deposit with the banks
OF this county the large sum of about
So, 100000, great portion OF which be-
longs to the farmers of Otsego county,
who, during the past ten or fifteen years,
have probaly considerably reduced
their mortgage Indebtedness. These
facts GO to show that, with individual
exceptions. these are no "hard times
with our farmers outside those whose
farms are mortgaged and are largely
devoted to hop raising. Most hop
growers also dairymen."

Congress adjourned without confirm
ing the nomination of c. c. Tobey to be
postmaster of Sank Centre. The name
was sent to the senate by President
Cleveland last December. and it is un-
derstood that objection to the con6r-
nation was raised by Senator Keller on
personal grounds, although it is rumor-
ed that the matter of location had its
influence, but the HERALD Is of the
opinion that it cut little figure compared
with the personal objection. It is an
open secret that the Messrs. Tobey and
Senator Keller have not been on friendly
terms, politically, although OF the same
faith, for several years. Bv what means
the ''hold up was accomplished is best
known by the parties directly interested.
The following from the Minneapolis
Evening Journal throws very little light
on the matter:
Postmaster-General Bissell informed
Congressman Baldwin today that he
would reappoint c. c, Tobey postmaster
at Sank Centre, If he desired. Bald win
will wait for advices from Sank Centre
before making any recommendation.
Baldwin says the postmaster-general
told him of conversation he had with
Senator Keller. who opposed Tobey, but
reg.'ets that he cannot make it public.
Tie fact that Mr.. Bissell has resigned
and Mr.. Wilson succeeds him as post
master general may complicate matters
still further. If the president re-appoints
Mr.. Tohey he c 'uld take the Office and
hold it until congress re-assembled, when
the appointment would again go to the
ionally, though rarely done. Meantime
Postmaster Thomson awaits the issue
with grim cOmplacencv.

CONGRESS retires from duty without

MECHANICS ARE BUSY.


Many Places.
Carpenters, masons, plumbers and painters
are working like beavers ON the buildings ON
East Centre street. between Market and White
streets, and within short time the properties
that were swept by flames on the 1,t Of last
June will be among the most attractive in
the town. The buildings are the most sub
stantial and better in all respects than any
that have ever occupied the sites. The Dorm
bach and Carl buildings are more advanced
than those on the Hciscnbcrgcr properties
but it is expected thatall will be completed by
November 1st. Everybody agrees that the
three-story brick structures with their neat
brown stone trimmings are superior in every
particular to their frame predecessors that
fell victims to the flames
Just around the corner, on White street, on
the east side, a three-story double building,
being built by Mrs. Bradley, is being pushed
to completion as fast as the plasterers and
painters can accomplish it, These buildings
will be very creditable to the locality.
On Market street just around the corner
from the Dornbach property, Morris Hickman
has large gang of masons busy putting up
Louis Klein's brick warehouse The structure
will be 3Ox8O feet and two stories high
Hickman is pushing the work as fast as
possible, as he wishes to take his men to
Frceland to build large opera house
Property improvements are noticeable in
many other parts especially in the Fifth and
Fourth wards, where many people are putting
now roofs ON their houses. The McHale
property, on Chestnut street. between Lloyd
and Centre, has been rcmodclled. A two
story wing has been placed at each side Of the
old building and after the painters sweep
over it with their brushes the property will
be the most attractive on the street, with the
possible exception of the recently remodelled
building of Henry J.. Jones on the corner OF
Coal street
