OrowiiiR Crops in Georgia.
The May report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture for Georgia shows that the con
dition of the growing crops, June 1st, in the
whole State is 100, or nine per cent better.
In North Georgia, 101; Middle Georgia, 10!);
Southwest and East Georgia each 110; in
Southeast Georgia, 107.
The oat crop,so far as harvested,is 121,com
pared to an average crop, and those not har
vested 115. The crop is a very large one,
perhaps the best ever grown in the State,
although injured 0 per cent by rust.
The yield of wheat where harvested is
reported at 121.5 in the Stale as compared to
an average crop, and where not harvested at
100. The crop has been injured by rust 15
percent.
The stand of cotton June 1st is 01.G in the
state. The condition of the plants June 1st
was 01 in the whole state. The cold weather
has not only impaired the stand but retarded
the growth.
Peaches are put down in the state at 85;
apples 60; pears 73.6; grapes 09. G; melons 1.00;
sorghum, sugar cane and sweet potatoes
above the avernge; rice, 07.
Ksuhih Crops.
A summary of reports received by the
Secretary of Kansas State Board of Agricul
ture for the week ending .Tuno 10, is very
encouraging. The present is good for all
kinds of crops, fruits and farm animals.
The wheat crop is now out of the way of any
l>ossible contingency of harm, and will har
vest not under eighteen bushels per acre,
which, for a 8tate average, is vory large.
This will give for the acreage reduced from
1881—twenty-five per cent.—25,000,000 bush
els of wheat.
The rye acreage has increased from last
year about 300 per cent., and is in an unus
ually promising condition.
Both the corn and oats acreage have in
creased over 1881, and no adverse reports
have been recivcd concerning them. The
last three days of the week have been warm,
and com that had been retarded by cool
weather is now showing finely. Farm ani
mals are in fine condition and have increas
ed in numbers largely over 1881.
MISNOiirl'M Harvests.
Reports on the condition of wheat
throughout the West continue flattering,
and, with anything like favorable linrvest
weather, largo receipts of new wheat are an
ticipated this month; 250,000 bushels at the
least are expected from Southern Illinois
and Southern Missouri, where the harvest
ing is going on steadily now. A gentleman
connected with one of the largest grain
houses here 1ms jnst returned from a trip
through Missouri. He says he never saw
such magnificent prospects. The wheat is
turning yellow ami the general harvest will
commence in this State by a week from
next Wednesday. In many fields the har
vesting machines are already in position
ready to begin operations,
Tennessee Crops
The Tennessee Agricultural Bureau has
estimates of the crops for May based on an
swers from ninety-three counties. Wheat is
not injured by rust any where; much of the
crop is already harvested, and yields better
than previous estimates. Increased acreage
for the present over last year, forty-three
per cent., and the crop is thirty-one per
cent, above last year, making a yield for the
present year of 11,091,578 bushels.
The weather the past month was unfavor
able for cotton, and in some localities cotton
land was replowed and planted in corn.
The oat crop is very promising. Clover
and grass acreage is diminished, owing to
last summer’s drouth. Corn looks reasona
bly well.
Growing; Crops in Kentucky.
Tub Commissioner of Agriculture of Ken
tucky in his May report shows that on June
1st the oat crop larger by 10 per cent, than
last year; wheat promising a fair yield;
larger acreage in corn, and perfect stand;
larger acreage in sorghum; fruit crop fair.
The Original Home or the Horae.
There is no doubt that the original home
of the horse is not Europe, but Central
Asia; for since the horse in its natural state
depends upon grass for its nourishment and
fleetness for its weapon, it could not in the
beginning have thriven and multiplied in
the thick forest-grown territory of Eurojte.
Much rather should its place of propagation
be sought in those steppes where it still roams
about in a wild state. Here, too, arose the
first nations of riders of which we have his
toric knowledge, the Mongolians and the
Turks, whose existence even nt this day is
as it were combined with that of the horse.
From these regions the horse spread in all
directions, especially into the steppes of
Southern and Southeastern Russia and into
Thrace, until it finally found entrance into
the other parts of Europe, but not until
after the immigration of the people. This as.
sumption is, at least, strongly favored by the
fact that the farther a district of Europe is
from those Asiatic steppes, i. c., from tho
original home of the horse, the luter does
the tamed horse seem to have made its his
toric appearance in it. Tho sup(H>sition is
further confirmed by the fact Unit horse
raising among almost every tribe nppeara as
an art derived from neighboring tribes in the
East or Northeast. Even in Homer the ox
appears exclusively as the draught-animal
in land operations at home and in the field,
while tho horse was used for purposes of
war only. Us employment in military op
erations was determined by swiftness alone.
That the value of the horse must originally
have depended on its fleetness, can easily be
inferred from the name which is repeated in
all the branches of the Indo-European lan
guage, and signifies nearly “hastening,"
“quick." The same fact is exemplified by
tho descriptions of the oldest poets, who,
next to its courage, speak most of its swift
ness.—I\om “The Introduction of Dome.tic
Animah," in Popular Science Monthly for
June.
A Cur* For Swkknky.—Judge C. H.
McCall has cured a large number of horses
affected with the sweeney, in the following
manner. Cut a small orifice about the cen
ter of the shrunk place, and insert a piece of
copperas about the size of a ]>ea—not larger
for too much is dangerous. The hide will
become puffed up ami matter will run freely
from tho orifice. Inn short time the horse
will bo well and sound. The remedy is
cheap and simple but none tho less effective
in results, if there is nothing ail the horse
but sweeney. We know of n number of
cures affected by the above remedy. Judge
McCall has promised us to write oil for pub
lication u number of vulualdo recipes which
bo lias used himself uml knows to be reli-
bte.
