Crop and Market Notes— Continued. 
Carolina crop also promises well, but will come on a 
little later than that from Georgia 
It Is reported that suits for more than $5,000,000 are 
to be begun by J. G. Richardson, the reaper and 
harvester expert. They will Involve nearly all the 
leading reaper and harvester manufacturers In the 
United States. In order to make a test case, suit has 
first been brought against D. M. Osborne & Co., of 
Auburn. In the United States District Court for the 
Northern District of New York, and the bills have 
iust been filed a. Utica. It Is for infringement of 
certain patents. The suit will affect all users of 
what Is known as the Appleby construction. 
The June reports to the Department of Agriculture 
make the acreage of winter wheat as compared with 
that of last year 87.8 per cent. The States In which 
the principal decrease has occurred are Illinois, 
Missouri. Kansas and California. The reduction 
of the area In the States of Kansas. Missouri and 
Illinois was caused In themaln by the long continued 
drought and extremely cold winter. A vast amount 
of the acreage planted has been plowed up and put 
to other crops. The decrease from the acreage of 
1892 is In the States of Illinois 24, In Missouri 16 and 
Kansas 39 polntB. The percentage for the country 
of spring wheat area Is 94. The percentages of the 
principal spring wheat States are: Minnesota 90, 
Nebraska 100, South Dakota 95.

Money in Mushrooms.— 1. Could a party make a Western seconds, ver case. 
living by raising mushrooms exclusively, and what 
prices do they fetch the year around ? 2. How many 
pounds does one pound of spawn produce ? 
New York. amateur. 
Ans.—T his subject was quite fully treated In the 
Issue of The R. N.-V. for January 28, In the descrip¬ 
tion of the mushroom cellars at the OrsIs Nurseries. 
Copies of that Issue will be mailed at the regular 
price. 1. Fes, if he grows enough, and handles them 
successfully. Some dealers say that the business 
Is being overdone, but there will always be a sale for 
first-class goods Prices range from 25 cents to $1 
per pound, wholesale: sometimes, perhaps, in ex¬ 
treme cases, even more or less than these extremes. 
2. No one can tell, the product depends upon so many 
conditions. 
Separator vs. Creamery.— I am debating the 
purchase of a separator or a Cabinet creamery. I 
would prefer the separator If It could be used eco¬ 
nomically In my case. I keep but 12 cows and usually 
milk six. Would it be practical and economical to 
use a separator only once a day for the milk of six 
cows milked twice a day? w. w. b. 
ANS.—A separator will be far preferable for your 
use, but the milk should be separated as soon after 
being drawn from the cow as possible, certainly be¬ 
fore It becomes cool. The smallest size would do 
your work Some of the advantages of a separator 
are thorough creaming, the fat being practically all 
taken from the milk; the better churnablllty of the 
cream, It taking less time than that from gravity sys¬ 
tems of raising, and also giving a larger percentage 
of butter; the better quality of the product, separa¬ 
tor butter commanding highest prices in the leading 
dairy markets: the superior value of the sktm-mllk, 
It being In the best possible condition for feeding 
calves or other animals, and many dairymen also 
sell It for a lower price than the whole milk Its value 
for some purposes being nearly equal to the latter. 
The cream, too, where It Is desired for commercial 
purposes, Is fresher, more uniform, and better in 
every way than that raised by the old systems. The 
use of ice Is dispensed with In creaming, which is 
often a great saving. There Is a great saving of 
space, not so apparent, perhaps, with a few cows, 
and the work Is all finished within a few minutes of 
the completion of the milking. The separator Is cer¬ 
tainly a great advance over the old systems of cream 
raising. 
1. How are currants picked for the New York mar¬ 
ket, and 2, are they sold by the pound or quart? 3. 
Should they be allowed to fully ripen before they 
are picked, and should they be picked on the stems? 
4. Where can I get suitable baskets or crates or what¬ 
ever Is needed ? 5. What is a fair price for them in 
New York? j. van w. 
Ans.— 1. Dealers prefer them packed In cases, four, 
six or eight five-pound baskets In a case. These are 
the cases used by many for packing grapes; the 
Southern tomatoes come In them, and. all things 
considered, they are a very desirable package. They 
may also be shipped In the 10-pound grape baskets, 
or In small market baskets. Any neat package, cov¬ 
ered, convenient to handle, will do, but preferred 
packages usually sell best. 2. By the pound. 3. Not 
too ripe. Just as they get nlcelv reddened. Currants 
make better jelly picked a little bit green, and they 
are used largely for this purpose. Picked on stems, 
by all means. 4. Ot T. C. Avis. Oxford, N. Y.: Baker 
& Freer, Brighton, N. Y.; West Webster Basket Co., 
West Webster. N. Y., or of anv one of eeveral firms 
advertising in The R. N.-Y 6. Last year our quota¬ 
tions show that they ranged from five to ten cents 
per pound, the lower price for small ones, but this 
price being reached but once during the season. 
From seven to nine cents mav be considered about 
the usual range, though 10 cents is not an extrava¬ 
gant price for good, large. Cherry or Fay currants. 
The writer of this doesn’t remember the time when 
the market haB been glutted with currants. The de¬ 
mand always seems to exceed the supply.
