THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER. 
CROP  AND  MARKET  NOTES. 
Beeswax  Is  dull,  the  market  Is  fully  supplied,  sell¬ 
ing  at  from  26  to  28  cents  per  pound. 
The  milk  supply  Is  ample  In  this  city,  and  remains 
quiet  at  2 )4  cents  per  quart  net  to  the  producer. 
Look  out  for  swindling  commission  men.  We  have 
one  In  our  mind’s  eye  just  now  who  will  get  a  gra 
tuitons  advertisement  at  an  early  date  In  our 
columns. 
Potatoes  are  dull  and  low.  With  each  successive 
year  the  early  new  potatoes  come  sooner  and  in 
larger  quantities,  so  much  so  that  by  the  first  of  April 
they  begin  to  seriouslv  affect  the  sale  of  the  old  ones. 
The  New  York  markets  are  fully  supplied  with 
almost  everything  In  the  line  of  fruits  and  vege¬ 
tables,  both  seasonable  and  unseasonable.  There  is 
a  steady  improvement  in  the  quality  of  the  vege¬ 
tables  from  the  South. 
The  highest  quotation  for  wheat  flour  at  date  is 
$4.90  and  the  top  price  for  rye  flour  Is  $4.35,  while 
any  quantity  of  good  wheat  flour  is  selling  at  $4. 
and  even  less.  It  looks  as  if  rye  flour  would  In  the 
end  get  on  top.  When  it  does  our  aristocrats  will 
begin  to  eat  it. 
The  butter  market  is  in  a  rather  weak  condition, 
supply  fully  equal  to  demand  and  a  generally  ticklish 
feeling  prevailing.  If  there  was  ever  a  time  when 
care  in  making  was  necessary,  it  is  at  this  season, 
when  any  little  adverse  condition  Is  liable  to  slump 
the  market.  Cheese  is  still  doing  very  well,  propor¬ 
tionately  better  than  butter. 
The  New  York  markets  are  well  supplied  with  as¬ 
paragus.  It  comes  from  North  and  South  Carolina, 
Virginia,  New  Jersey  and  Long  Island.  The  best  Is 
from  Oyster  Bay,  Long  Island,  though  some  of  that 
from  New  Jersey  Is  nearly  or  quite  as  fine.  The 
stalks  are  large  and  succulent,  while  most  of  the 
Southern  article  is  small  and  Inferior.  The  price 
ranges  from  $2  to  $4  per  dozen  bunches. 
The  Farmers'  Gazette,  of  Dublin,  says  the  sale  of 
margarine  for  butter  has  been  steadily  increasing  for 
years  past.  It  Is  sold  In  all  shapes  and  forms  under 
the  guise  of  butter.  You  And  it  in  retail  shops  in  that 
and  every  other  city  and  town  in  Ireland.  Dealers 
during  winter  months  have  baskets  of  it  made  up 
similar  to  ordinary  farmers’  prints  and  rolls,  and 
palm  it  off  as  the  genuine  butter  on  the  innocent 
purchaser.  The  temptation  is  great.  It  is  purchased 
at  about  seven  pence  and  retailed  at  just  double  that 
price.

BUFFALO.  N.  X. 
An  A  n|*  ft|]J|||A|*  A  very  peculiar  place 
nH*E  UfinHUC*  for  sale— On  the  west¬ 
ern  border  of  Westborough,  and  the  eastern  border 
of  Grafton,  Worcester  County.  Mass.,  Is  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  tracts  of  land  to  be  found  In  the 
State.  It  Is  an  elevated  table  of  peat  ground,  with 
an  island  of  five  or  six  acres  near  the  center  of  solid 
upland,  upon  which  a  dwelling  house  and  barn  are 
located,  comprising  altogether  112  acres.  About  40 
years  ago,  the  owner  at  that  time  expended  a  large 
sum  In  draining  the  land.  This  was  effected  by 
means  of  ditches  terminating  In  deep  cuts  through 
the  adjacent  high  ground  surrounding  the  tract  Into 
a  low  valley,  whereby  the  peat  meadows  have  been 
so  completely  drained,  that  teams  of  horses  or  oxen 
with  plows  and  carts,  can  traverse  and  cultivate  the 
surface,  a  thing  Impossible  before  this  drainage  was 
accomplished.  For  want  of  cultivation  the  land  is 
now  largely  overgrown  with  a  growth  of  young  forest 
trees.  The  soil  abounds  with  that  peculiar  astringent 
quality  which  gratifies  the  natural  instinct  of  the 
strawberry  plant,  In  consequence  of  which  the  wild 
strawberry  here  flourishes  wherever  the  grass  and 
shrubbery  give  it  a  chance  to  Jgrow.  Heavy  crops  of 
fine  hay  are  produced  by  an  admixture  or  top-dress¬ 
ing  of  common  earth  or  loam  with  the  muck  soil 
of  the  place.  To  an  enterprising  horticulturist  or 
farmer,  with  a  taste  for  experimental  cultivation, 
this  place  presents  an  opportunity  not  often  found. 
It  Is  also  specially  adapted  to  the  purpose  of  a  game 
and  trout  preserve.  In  consequence  of  the  decease 
of  the  late  owner  the  property  Is  now  offered  for  sale 
at  a  moderate  price  in  settlement'of  his  estate  by 
the  executor  In  trust.  Enquire  of  C.  P.  WHITE, 
at  Deacon  Chamberlain’s,  Westborough,  near  the 
premises;  TH08.  WHITE,  135  Hicks  8t.,  Brooklyn,
