coat acted. When they came to teat it, 
he was ready to risk his life over it. 
After proving that the bullets used would 
go ithrough a two-inch plank he put on 
the coat and said: “Now fire at me!” 
They did so, and though the force of the 
bullet nearly knocked him over, the coat 
protected him—the bullet would not pass 
it. Now we call that sublime faith. 
This man had tested and worked over 
his coat until he knew it would defend 
him. If more of us had such faith in 
our farms, our country and ourselves, we 
would make agriculture a more dignified 
and profitable occupation. The R. N.-Y. 
would have people believe that farming 
is not going to the dogs at all. Half¬ 
hearted farming will go there—that is 
BO— but the man of faith and works will 
still be able to make a coat that will 
stop the bullets of disaster. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW I 
[f you don't see what you want, ask for it. 
PARIS-GRBBN AND CABHAOKS.—1. WOUW THE R. 
N.-Y. advise the use of Parls-Kreen on cabbaKes to 
kin the norms? If so, with what and how shonld it 
be mixed? 2. Is there anv other preparation you 
can recommend? R c. t. 
Dlascond, Va. 
Ans.— 1. Yes, before the heads bealn to form. Mix 
with water at the rate of one pound to 2.'>U Kallons of 
water and apply with a common garden sprltikler. 
2 After the heads form, sprinkle with saiipeter dis¬ 
solved In water, a teaspoonful of the former to a 
gallon of the latter. Ruhach Is also excellent. 
FARM Locations. —Where are the Mountainside 
Farm of Mr. Havemeyer, and the Ellerslle Stock 
Farm located? a. g. n. 
Ans.—T he former at Mahwah, N. J., and the latter 
at Rhlnecllff, N. Y. 
Market for Chickens.—W here can 1 and a mar¬ 
ket for chickens at 40 and 50 cents apiece? What 
breed and age should they be? At what time of the 
year Is there a demand for them? F. b. vf. 
Ontario County, N. Y. 
ANS.—There ought to be a market for such chickens 
In any of the large towns In the vicinity, at the 
prises named. Broilers in this city are now quoted at 
from 20 to US cents per pound dressed. These weigh 
from IH to 2 or 2V4 pounds apiece. Thev must be 
plump and fat, nicely dressed, and arrive In good 
order to sell for these prices. At this time of year, 
dressed poultry must be Iced if shipped any distance. 
Good chickens also sell well alive. As the season 
advances, heavier weights are required, but the 
price per pound Is likely to be lower, so that little Is 
gained by the extra weight. It makes little differ¬ 
ence as to the breed, so long as the required condi¬ 
tions are secured-yellow skin, plump, fat bodies. 
Leghorns are not so good as some other breeds, and 
dark-legged birds are not desirable. Wyandottes 
and P. Rocks make good broilers. There Is always a 
demand for good poultry, but broilers usually bring 
highest prices in April or May. The demand varies 
at different seasons, and prices vary with them. 
Poultry should never be shipped so as tO arrive In 
market late In the week, or just before a holiday. 
Dealers are always glad to furnish Information as to 
the condition of the market and prices. Any of 
those advertising in The R. N.-Y. are good ones to 
ship to. _ 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Auction sales of fruits continue. 
Thehanana trade Is dull at present. 
Lambs shonld now be shipped alive. 
Florida oranges are becoming scarcer. 
Receipts of live poultry have been heavy. 
The strawberry now takes the cake—short. 
Blackberries are scarce and sell well If ffne. 
Receipts of eggs continue heavy for the season. 
Apples don't cut much of a figure In market now. 
Lower freight rates from the South are reported. 
Beeswax is slow of sale at 28 to 29 cents per pound. 
Wheat and flour are lower In the English markets. 
The market Is stronger for old than for new pota¬ 
toes. 
Pineapples pines,” for short—are plentiful and 
cheap. 
Wheat news from Kansas and Nebraska are not 
encouraging. 
Good, large goosebrrrles sell readily at 10 to 12 
cents per quart. 
Maple sugar Is quiet and demand moderate at 
to 7 cents per pound. 
It Isn't safe to ship dressed calves or poultry with¬ 
out Ice at this season. 
Peaches are very uncertain as to quality, although 
there Is a fair supply. 
Most vegetables are now In good supply, and mar¬ 
ket Is In fairly good condition. 
There Is sharp competition between the different 
manufacturers of condensed milk. 
A refrigerator car of strawberries came from 
Maryland on Monday In excellent condition. 
South Carolina reports a large Increase In the 
number and acreage of the vineyards In that State. 
Maryland cherries early In the week sold for 70 
to 75 cents per 10 pound baeket and were of poor 
quality. 
Hops are dull, sales few, and prices low. The new 
crop promises well both in the East and on the Pa¬ 
cific coast. 
Some potatoes in from North Carolina should have 
been allowed to make more growth before being dtig. 
Still heavier shipments are reported. 
Se'^ere storms In western New York have done 
considerable damage by washouts »nd overflows, 
besides delaying planting and other farm work. 
Strawberry canners e.xpect to buy their stock for 
about three to four cents, but have been able to get 
few that would answer their purpose at those flgures. 
The watermelon market Is weak yet. There Isn't 
much trade until warm weather arrives, and until 
stock arrives In sufficient quantity to furnish a regu¬ 
lar supply. 
The flist plums In market this year were Wild 
Goose, and came'from South Carolina a couple of 
days before Decoration Oay. They met a good de¬ 
mand and brought $1.50 per half carrier. 
At the request of the Mercantile Exchange, most 
transportation companies made no deliveries on 
Decoration Day, and Iced and cared for perishable 
products. Fruits and vegetables only were delivered. 
England has had copious rains which have brought 
on the grass rapidly, thereby reducing the demand 
for hay. The latter has iherefore sold for lower 
prices and the future demand Is likely to be consid¬ 
erably less. 
Formerly the Southern tomatoes came mostly In 
bushel crates, but in recent seasons carrier crates 
have been more largely used. The latter are much 
better than the old style package, as they allow more 
ventilation and stock arrives lo better condition. 
Tomatoes usually commence to arrive early In Feb¬ 
ruary from Key West, and market Is supplied mostlv 
with Florida stock until the latter part of June, 
when Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi stock 
arrives and early in July Jersey appear. Florida, 
however, continue to arrive freely until nearby be¬ 
come plenty and force them out of the market. A 
shortage in the latter Is looked for.
