NEW YORK.
There were no destructive frosts
until after all cornTiad fully ripen

that the quality ranks high. The
yield is also above that of last year.
The weather has been very favor
able for husking and cribbing in
good condition. Ihe stalks re
mained green. quite generally uutil
latejn the season, which delayed
the stacking of the stalks.. On the
whole, corn has been one of the
best and most satisfactory crops of
the year. , j
Potatoes are not rotting as it was
feared they might. The! decay
seems, to be arrested very j much
after being stored. The crop has
been quite closely marketed; The
quality oi potatoes which are large
enough lor market is exceedingly
fine. Sweet 'potatoes are only cul
tivated iuthe vicinity of New York,
and they are about, an average.
Th re is an increase in the vied of
tobacco. This Icrop is limited to a
few counties. The hay harvested
before rthe week of rain is j of su
perior quality. There was so much
of the crop damaged by the rain
and, by being overripe that the
genera quality is :nuch reduced.
On account of severe drought in
the southern tier oj counties and in
the western part of the State, the
average yield j is also reduced.'
Buckwhe it is 'not equal to last
yerr in the yield, although the
quality is as good. The large area :
and the. low price of wheat have!
made a price for this grain which
has disappointed growers.; It is
selling for only, a cent a pound.
Grapes have been a full crop.: Ap

Corn shows a gain 'of several

the case with the potato

lower. Tobacco has increased both
in yield and quality, with a smaller
area planted. The favorable damp

matured that was not expected,

satisfactory.
LOUISIANA.
The general condition of nearly
all crops remain unchanged since
last report. Cotton-picking has
progressed favorably, the staple
being saved in good condition. The
season will be a very short one.
Sugar cane is still in good condi
tion, notwithstanding much dam
age was anticipated, froiii the vio
lent storm which raged ' ou the
night pf October 10. The yield ot
sugar is excellent, the only danger
anticipated being a freeze. Orange
plauters, however, suffered a se
vere loss by large quantities ot
fruit being blown from the trees..
Some damage was done' to the rice
stacks in exposed positions. A
larger area than usual is now be
ing sown to oats ; the red rust
proof variety being used to exclu
sion of all other varieties". The
quality and yield of corn have ex
ceeded the anticipations of the
most sanguine, being the largest
and best crop grown in Louisiana
for many years. Farmers are also
paying more attention to the bay
crop. - - .
Truck tarmers throughput south

The weather has generally been
good for finishing up cotton-pick

matured cotton, which may briug
up the final average a little. The
corn crop has been gathered and

in the estimates heretofore made.
While the first crop ot sorghum,
which is generally made into sirup,
was universally light, the second
crop, which is cut for forage, was
unusually good. The hay and

The average yield per acre of
the area planted in corn this year
was the! lowest since the organiz
ation oflthe State, with the excep
tion ofj the years 1S74 and r3l
The average quality of the product
is, however, much better than was
expected. The potato crop, was
mostly out of danger wheu the dry
weather net in, and although the
excessive beat .reduced the yield
and quality somewhat, it did not
do the damage that was at first ex
pected. The sweet potato crop is
mostly raised on the sandy soils of
the Kansas aud Arkansas . River
bottoms, and the water in these
regions is very near the surface,
enabling the crop to better with
stand dry 'weather.
CALIFORNIA '
The yield of corn was good aud
the quality very good. The area
planted was uotlnrge, and iu many
counties; none was planted for
market or feed. Irish potatoes
made a fair crop with quality about
an average. The yield per acre of
hay was .somewhat larger than last
year, aud the quality is Very good.
Most of the hay crop of this State
is from grain, sown in the fall and
cut,gree:, although, alfalfa is used
to some extent, and where irrigated
yields heavily. It is cut from three
to five times during: a season, or
cut twice and then pastured.
Grapes suffered to some extent
from late spring frosts, hot winds
and an ! unusually warm dry fall,
which ripened the crop all at once,
and greatly decreased the yield iu
gallons of wine to the ton. This
averaged from 110 to 120 gallons
against j 110 to 150 gallons last
year. The! vintage can only be
called ai two thirds crop, or about
10,000,0(K) gallons of wine. Of this,
a certain quantity did not' ferment
well, asjthe must was too heavy in
sugar, while it lacked somewhat in
ferment;owingto thecircumstances
mentioned before. But the wines

he was as- still as death. Then

"Handsome horse ; turn him in

And thusMt was that X was still
allowed to be near him; tho follow

thought, ull through the hours of
how we had drifted hence, of the
great transi tion in his lite ; it seem

from half hidden fountains ; from

A IIU. MIRED- YEARS A HERO.
How Metk Warner Won a Wife and Be
came Fimoii.
Colonel Seth Warner, of Ver
mont, the famous hero of the Rev
olutionary war, .was a leading
fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles rvere disputed "by
the State of New York, and its au
thorities obtained an edict of the
King of England in their favor.
Tho settlers were stung by the sup
posed injustice. This state of
things brought Colonel Seth War
ner to the front. With Ethau Al
len and others he actively opposed
every effort of the New York state
authorities to enforce possession,
aud flu ally he, I with Allen and
others, were outlawed and a price
put on their heads. . .
To circumvent New York it was
necessary that some oue should go
into that state and gain required
inlormatiou. Colonel Warner, as
suming for safety the name of " Dr.
Howard," undertook this perilous
aud romantic jouruey.
While on his way home lie stop-
at a country inn, where an old
gentleman and daughter 3 were
storm bound. The father fell id
and the daughter called upon Col
onel Warner who, with his wide
knowledge of simple remedies, sue '
cessfully treated the "old man,"
aud he finally won this devoted
woman for a wife.
Such incidents were not uncom
mon in those years. When the
doctor was not easily reached,
months of sickness, and even life
were often saved by some unpro
fessional friend "Y-ersed in the use
of simple herbs and roos. The
health of early settlers and their
powersof endurance convince us
that such medicinces did only good
and left no poison in the blood to
work as much injury to the system
as would the disease itself.
In time of peace the eolonel was
in constant demand for his knowl
edge of simple remedies and their
power 'over disease. But it was
left toanother of his- name of the
present age to give to the" public
what was then used with such pos
itive success .
Warner for over a hundred
years has shared with Ethan Al
len tho admiration of the American
people. i"
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to
a family of jwide distinction ; no
less than eight members thereof
won fame in jthe regular practice
of medicine, j
Looking to; the adoption by. the
people "of this generation of the
old time simple remedies, his di
rect descendant, ii. II. Warner,
the well known proprietor of War
ner's safe cure, for many years has
been experimenting with old time
roots and herbs forinuhf and, his
search having beenjlinally reward
ed with success, hejgives the world
the. result. These . recipes and
formula' iu other ,'days accom
plished great thiugsf because they
were "purely vegtt!ableand com
bined simply o as l o cure the dis
ease indicated wit jout injury to
the system In harmony with heb
oid time character, we learn that
he:proposes to call them Warner's
Log Cabin Reined es, using as a
trade mark auold fashioned Amer
icanl log cabin. We understand
that he intends t )Vput-forth a
" Sarsaparillaj" for the blood, the
sarsaparilla itself b ing but one ot
a number of simple and effective
elements; ' Leg Cabin Hops and
