CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Onions are advancing In price. 
The Clark s Cove Fertilizers 
coating of oil simply holds the water in 
shape, giving no chance for a ripple to 
form and grow into a “ white cap.” The 
waves of the sea are like the waves of 
business, society or politics. It is only 
when they break and fall with terrible 
power that they are dangerous. No 
matter how the wind may blow, the well- 
managed ship rides in safety so long as 
the ocean swells are regular. To-day 
we float in the midst of waves. Foul 
winds are blowing hard. Throw out the 
oil and hold them from breaking. What 
oil? Order, system, good judgment and 
economy. Eaonomy! That’s it! Keep 
a little film of the oil of surplus over 
your expenses. That holds them down. 
Get a dollar behind and it is like the rip¬ 
ple on the sea. It grows, gains and 
swells, and the first you know it is too 
big to handle and you are lost. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW 1 
If you don't sec whit you want, ask for it. 
Dbalisq in May'.—T his Is a great hay producing 
country—both clover and Timothy. Can Tub R. N.-Y. 
give me a plan whereby I could deal direct with the 
consumer 7 My plan Is to buy, press and lead on the 
cars for t2 26 a ton, the consumer to send me the 
order, and place t je amount of cash In one of our 
banks with an order to pay me on producing the 
shipping bill after the car Is loaded and sealed. I 
would like suggestions. j. u. 
Huron County, Mich. 
ANS.—Bless you, why don’t you advertise In Thk 
R N.-Y. for buyers for your hay? State what you 
have to sell, what price you want for It, and how 
and where you will deliver It. You will have to 
give a guarantee of your tlnanclal standing and re- 
llahllUy, and of the quality of goods which you will 
furnish. There Is no reason why you shouldn't build 
up a good trade if you satisfy customers. Study the 
demands of the markets you purpose to supply, and 
then strive to satlslr those demands. Build up a 
reputation with the goods you send out, and there 
will be no trouble. 
P’KUIT COM.MISSION .VIAN.-Who Is a good com¬ 
mission merchant for the sale of choice fruit, one 
who makes a specialty of cherries, strawberries, cur¬ 
rants, etc.? j. 8. P. 
Stnyvesant, N. Y. 
ANS.—Write to .1. H. TIenken, 32 Little 12th Street, 
New York. Intending shippers In writing such par¬ 
ties, should state what ihey have to ship, and ask 
for directions for packing and shipping. Above all, 
don't fall to refer to The R. N.-Y., for all are anxious 
to please our readers. 
IIEIKEK Leaking Mii.k.—I have a heifer. Just 
fresh, that leaks her milk oadly although the udder 
Is n t unduly distended. What Is a remedy, either 
permanent or temporary? A l. 
ANS.—Remedies for this trouble do not generally 
seem to be very satisfactory. A coating of collodion 
applied over the end of the teat after milking will 
generally stop the trouble until the next milking, 
when It must be removed and the operation repeated 
each time after milking. Rubber bands are some¬ 
times used around the teats. If any of our readers 
know any more satisfactory preventive, we would 
like to hear from them. 
Staffwood Manufactuhbus.—W hat are the ad¬ 
dresses of some staffwood manufacturers In the 
United Slates and Canada? kuhn. 
AN8.—If you mean canes, write to K. W. Paxson 
& Son , Limavllle, O ; L. C. Doane, Waldo, Fla.; J. 
F. Bradley, 28 John St., New York; L. H. Beale & Son, 
Westfield, Mass.; L. Winkler, 142 Fulton St., New 
York, or M. L. Sawyer, VUla, Minn. We do not 
know the address of any Canadian firms. 
Peach BoREKa anu Curled Leaf.— I send a box 
containing pieces of branches from some of my 
peach trees, planted in the spring of 1892, and which 
have been attacked by disease or insects Last fall 
I noticed that the tranks at the Junction of the 
branches were thickly covered with gum. I sent 
specimens to an experiment station, but received no 
light. About 20 of the most thrifty are eutlrely de¬ 
stroyed What Is the trouble, and the remedy or 
preventive ? 1 also inclose a twig with some curled 
leaves of this spring's growth. d. c. mcp. 
Garbutt, N. Y. 
ANS.—We presume the trouble was borers just at 
the surface of the ground. The branches luciosed 
also appeared as though they might have been in¬ 
jured by cold. Dig around the remaining tiees 
and see If there are chips or gum just at the surface. 
If so, follow It up with a smail-bladed knife, and yon 
will find the borer just under the bark, when he a ay 
be killed This Is the only effective remedy alter the 
trees are once attacked. This search should be made 
In spring and again In early antumn. A good coat¬ 
ing of ashes around the trees In spring wiil usually 
repel the moth that lays the eggs producing these 
borers. The leaves sent were affected witn the curl 
which sometimes attacks them In early summer, es¬ 
pecially In cold weather. Nothing can be done except 
to keep the trees growing thriftily. 
Uot weather increases the demand for water¬ 
melons. 
Cucumbers have become almost a drug on the 
market. 
Hay receipts have been heavier and prices less 
favorable. 
The first black raspberries came In Tuesday from 
Maryland and Delaware. 
Consignments of potatoes have been recently re¬ 
ceived from Nova Scotia. 
Western New York reports oocslderable insect 
damage to the apple crop. 
Asparagus has been very plentiful during the 
week, and canners are reaping a harvest. 
Some fancy New Orleans rauskmelons sold for ex¬ 
treme prices. Florida stock was mostly poor. 
Arrivals of new potatoes last week were 3(1,753 bar¬ 
rels against 20,008 barrels the previous week. 
The rate of duty on barley Is bothering Canadian 
legislators. The rate will probably be fixed at 30 per 
cent. 
Late arrivals of the Old Dominion and Savannah 
steamers several times recently have caused con¬ 
siderable loss to shippers from the lower prices re¬ 
ceived. 
New ginseng root has commenced to arrive, and 
first sales were made at $1.70 to $1.91 per pound for 
Southern, $1.90 to $2 10 for Western, and $?.50 to $2.75 
for State and Canada. 
Receivers here complain that Southern potato 
shippers do not fill the barrels full enough Many 
which were of good quality sold for 50 cents per bar¬ 
rel less on this account. 
The bags containing Egyptian onions this season 
are of very Irregular size, and prices are correspond¬ 
ingly Irregular. They vary from 105 to 140 pounds. 
Some of the bags are also so badly worn that part of 
the contents was lost.
