Crop and Market Notes—(Continued.) 
ment of the condition of the present year’s 
onion crop. Present prices are not high 
because of the ample receipts direct from 
the fields, but the moderate crop together 
with the high rate of duty on imported 
onions would seem to preclude the possi¬ 
bility of any remunerative price. The pros¬ 
pect is good for hard, prime onions put in 
the market early in the winter. The crop 
has its effect on the later winter^ market, 
but what this will be no man can tell. If 
untimely frosts should prevail, as some¬ 
times occurs, this competition would have 
little effect. As to the formation of an 
association, it is too late to organize and 
get into working order in time for disposing 
of this year’s crop, but several growers 
might combine their crops so as to ship in 
car-load lots and thus save expense in hand¬ 
ling and transportation. We shall devote 
considerable space to the matter of organ¬ 
izing an association during the next two 
months. 
Howe’s Caye, N. Y.—Should hay be 
sold now or later 7 All we can get here Is 
$10 per ton, baled. It costs nearly $4 to get 
it to New York or Boston by rail and to 
sell it there. subscriber. 
Williamson County, Tenn.— What is 
likely to be the price of hay for the winter 
and spring of 1891-2 as compared with that 
during last season, and should there be a 
difference, will it be local or general ? 
j. w. M. 
Ans.— Under Crop and Market Notes in 
the issue of September 12, we gave the views 
of a firm which is one of the most exten¬ 
sive hay dealers in this city, and which an¬ 
nually collects the statistics of the crop 
from all sources tributary to this mar¬ 
ket. From all we have been able to learn 
from otner sources, we think its estimate is 
a fair one. The difference in price will be 
most marked where the deficiency is great¬ 
est. Some localities which have a good 
crop may show no increase. The hay crop 
differs from the wheat and other grain 
crops in being more expensive to transport 
in proportion to Its value, so that it is not 
shipped to such great distances; still a 
scarcity in the East might affect the price 
in the West, though no hay were shipped 
from the latter to the former. Last spring 
there was a hay famine west of the Missis¬ 
sippi ; no hay was shipped from the East, 
but the price was increased somewhat be¬ 
cause supplies from the intermediate terri¬ 
tory, which would naturally have come 
east, went west. If our friend can get 
$10 per ton for hay that will cost him $4 per 
ton to ship here, he would run less risk 
and we think net nearly as much money by 
selling it at home, unless he has a very 
choice article. There is always a certain 
amount of risk in shipping, and then the 
shipment may not grade so high as the 
shipper thinks it should, in which case 
there is disappointment. Hay that is well 
housed should not lose anything by hold¬ 
ing, and we do not anticipate any lower 
prices than those now prevailing. Still no 
man can tell positively.

Fruits.— Apples are dull and in large supply ; sales 
are at low prices except for choice lots. Pears are 
plentiful, but mostly of a grade below the demand. 
Plums are active for the best and dull for others. 
Peaches are becoming quite scarce and choice ones 
bring good prices. Cranberries are In large supply 
and dull. Grapes from Western New York are arriv¬ 
ing In large quantities and the market Is extremely 
dull. Dried fruits are dull and little doing as the 
large quantity of green fruit practically shuts off the 
demand.

Poultry.— The market is firm for live poultry and 
receipts are light. The exira demand by the Jews 
has helped the market. Dressed poultry is dull with

common to choice native sides sell at 63944c. The

COLORING BUTTER. 
“ To color or not to color!” 
That Is the question that once vexed the dairyman, 
but there are few now who do not consider color as 
necessary as salt, and the best authorities on butter¬ 
making unite In recomnu ndlng Wells, Richardson & 
Co.’s Improved Butter Color. This Is free from taste 
or smell, absolutely without sediment, and gives the 
natural shade produced by good June pasturage. 
Another polut lit Its favor. Is that it Is from one- 
half to twice as strong as other colors, and hence Is 
the most economical. With this a dairyman can have 
his butter the same June shade the whole year, and 
thus get a much higher price. So why will any one 
make uncolored butter or use Inferior colors that are 
weak, reddish, and liable to spoil 1—Adv.
