THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
133 
Crop and Market Notes. — Continued. 
There was recently Incorporated In this State the 
Central New York Grape Growers' Union of Penn 
Yan, to market and ship fruit In Yates, Steuben. 
Ontario, Seneca and Schuyler Counties; capital 
$ 10 , 000 . 
To secure best results, shippers of special products 
should consign their goods to parties making special¬ 
ties of those particular lines. They usually have 
facilities for handling them to advantage, have a 
better run of customers, are better posted as to 
values, and consequently can secure more satisfac¬ 
tory prices. 
A bill has been Introduced In the Canadian Parlla 
naent providing for the branding of all American 
cheese In transit through Canada for export to 
Europe. The object Is to prevent American shippers 
sending their cheese through Canada to England and 
selling it as a Canadian article, which It Is claimed 
brings a higher price abroad. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW ! 
If you don't see what you want, ask for it. 
How Is the oil of black birch obtained and would 
It pay to attempt making It? Who buys It? What Is 
It worth? SKVERAL SUBSCRIBERS. 
Ans.—T he oil Is obtained by distilling the bark and 
branches. It Is mostly, If not entirely In the bark, 
but with the smaller branches, It Is easier to distil 
the whole than to attempt to peel them. The appar¬ 
atus for distillation Is quite expensive, and probably 
would be an unprofitable Investment for most farm¬ 
ers, unless other crops are grown for distillation like 
peppermint, spearmint, wormwood, etc. Hlrsch & 
Lowensteln, 176 Chambers Street, buy all kinds of 
essential oils. The price of black birch oil ranges 
from $1.50 to $2.50 per pound of 16 ounces. 
What weight of hogs sell best In the New York 
market ? C. 8. w. 
Ans.—W hen does a pig become a hog? Erom 75 to 
90 pounds, not to exceed 100 pounds, Is the best 
weight. Doesn’t the market report show that 
light pork sells best? There is about a cent a pound, 
sometimes more, In favor of those of the weights 
mentioned over heavy hogs. Then why keep pigs 
until they attain such weights? Can't 100 pounds of 
the lighter pork be produced cheaper than an equal 
amount of the other’ Then again, very fat hogs are 
not wanted. We want meat, not lard, when we buy 
pork. 
Where can we get silver spoons at $1 an ounce, 
Instead of $2? It seems to us at the price of bullion, 
that there would be a big profit In manufacturing 
pure silver tableware at half Its present price. 
Renwlck, Iowa. O. E. F. 
Ans.—W hy not make ’em then ? Any one who 
wishes Is at liberty to engage In manufacturing, in 
this country, and there certainly Is no trouble about 
the supply of raw material for the manufacture of 
silver goods. But Isn’t the competition between 
manufacturers already established likely to keep 
the prices as low as can be afforded and yield a 
profit. Again, how long do you suppose silverware 
made of the pure metal, would labt In actual use?

Gentlemen:—After careful test in 
using the Buffalo Gluten Feed 
bought of you, I consider it a val¬ 
uable feed, increasing the flow of 
milk and the amount of butter 10 
per cent, over the same cost of 
cottonseed meal and shorts, which 
I was feeding before. The quality 
of the butter made was also as 
good. I feed it to my cows with¬ 
out mixing with other feed and in 
connection with ensilage. 
Yours respectfully, 
C. F. Cobb. 
Note:—M r. Cobb owns one of the largest 
and best herds of A. J. C. C. Jerseys In 
the state of Maine, and has just placed 
Ills order for a carload of Buffalo Gluten 
F’eed. We publish Ills letter because It
