ROT l BAKINO POWDEB CO. . NEW YORK.
Wo had tlio pleasure recently of
visiting the country botwuun Bro-
keu Bow and Sargont , going by the
way of thu Frouuh table , and re
turning by the way of Round Val
ley. Wo also made a trip to Dry
Valley , going and coming by differ
ent routcB. In the whole country
traversed wo touud the corn and
millet in fine condition , and nearly
every farm had oneor more stack
yards of grain. The corn will inako
from 30 to 50 bushels of corn to
the acre , thu millet uud oano from
two to four toiiH to the acre , and
the wheat in threshing from live to
twelve bushels to the acre. The
ooru orop , ati an average in the
county north of township 1C , is the
best had for years , possibly since
1888.
B. 0. Tappau , the principal ship
per of birdti from this and sur
rounding country , desires UH to call
tha attention of those who kill birds
for the inarkiit to the new game
law which prohibits shipping game
into certain markets , and which re-
quircH sportsmen , merchants , ship
pers and oxprotis agents , in shipping
animals or birds , killed or captured ,
to plainly mark , so that the name
and the address of the shipper , and
the nature of the contents may bo
ascertained by an inspection ot the
outside of such packages. Ship
ment in any form that tends to
conical or obscure thu nature of the
contents or the shipper's iame and
address , is plainly an evasion of thn
act , and the penalty applies to
evasion as well an violation. The
act prohibits interstate commerce in
game , though killed in open seasons ,
if the law of the state in which
suoh frame is killed prohibits its
export. In some states the sale of
certain game is prohibited at all
seasons , Missouri being one of
them. The purpose of these na
tional laws is to prevent the gaiuo
shipped into the state from being
used aa a cloak for the sale ol game
within the state in violation of local
awe. Unless parties post them
selves on the laws governing the
shipping , th oy ore liable to ship
hetn whore they will be confiscated
'or illegal shipment.

William A. Taylor , of the United
States Department of Agriculture ,
who hold the position of acting po >
Biologist at the Paris Exposition ,
baa written George A. Marshall , of
Arlington , of Nebraska's success in
competition at the world's exposi
tion about a mouth ago. Mr. Tay
lor was in charge of the United
States horticultural exhibit , and he
conveys the information that in the
temporary competition of June 27th
the collection of apples of the crop
of 1889 , exhibited by the Nebraska
horticultural society , was awarded
first prize , "Premier Prix. " There
were four varieties on exhibit ,
the Bon Davis , Dominie Mclntosh
uud North West Greening , all grown
by Marshall Bros. , of Arlington.
Though the collection contained
fewer varieties than the collections
from some of the other states , the
fruit was in excellent condition , and
presented a fine appearance. Speci
mens of the above varieties in the
exhibit of the Nebraska Ilortioultu
ral Hooioty wore included in the
general collection of the United
States , which constituted forty va
rieties from fourteen different states.
This collection was awarded "Pre
mier Prix" by tie jury in the
world's competition.
The honor is regarded with pride
by those who were instrumental in
making Nebraska's exhibit what it
was. Mr. Taylor says he feels that
the effort to inoreane the Europnai
demand for American fruit bids
fair to succeed. Ho says the out
look at present for the immediate
and large increase in the demand is
very favorable. alJ-8t (
