ff you don't see what you want, ask for it. 
GRASS SiCKD FOB Pastcrb.—W hat Is the best 
mixture of seeds to sow to make an old, worn-out 
pasture Into a good one for one cow? I have a little 
over a half acre of used up land which I am to have 
deeply plowed, and am anxious to know bow to have 
It sowed for pasture another year. My cow will be 
fed on meal, etc., besides the grarlng of the small 
paddock, I propose. D- H. S. 
Rlverdale, N. T. 
Ans.—Y ou say nothing about the kind of soil, which 
Is Important, as grasses which would thrive on some 
soils, wouldn’t do at all on others. On dry upland. 
Bine grass does well, while on a lower, molster soil, 
Red Top la better. A small proportion of White 
clover Is good on either. Perhaps some of the mix¬ 
tures offered by the seedsmen would be as good as 
any. Write to J. M. Thorburn & Co.. 15 John St., 
New York. But you can’t expect much pasture from 
the field next year. 
Price of Gooskberrhs.—I note that The R. 
N.-Y. reports green gooseberries selling In New York 
at two to five cents per quart. 1. Is it possible to 
figure out a fair return for the producer at these 
rates? 2. Are gooseberries ordinarily so cheap ? 
Maine. c. O. A. 
Axs.—1. It depends upon the location, the soil, and 
the grower. On high priced land, there probably 
wouldn’t be much profit. In a location where labor 
Is high, or from which freight charges are excessive, 
there would also be little profit. But this Is some¬ 
thing that each grower can best figure out for him¬ 
self. 2. No. the price quoted Is lower than they or¬ 
dinarily are sold for. But many other products have 
also sold unusually low this season. 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Ilay and straw are lower. 
Live fowls are low and dull. 
Hops are dull and demand limited. 
Blackberries are becoming scarce. 
Peaches bring good prices for choice. 
The supply of most vegetables Is good. 
Potatoes are plenty and the market quiet. 
(jnotations on dried fruits are mostly nominal. 
Much needed rains have fallen at many points. 
Apple evaporators are starting up In Arkansas. 
The market for clover and Timothy seed Is dull. 
The lemon and the banana are always In season. 
Late arrivals of eggs are of somewhat better qual¬ 
ity. 
The market Is now well supplied with California 
fruits. 
Choice, well-packed apples are scarce and In de¬ 
mand. 
Little Southern poultry has arrived at this market 
aieiy. 
Sweet potato prices have been low thus far this 
season. 
A large quantity of tomatoes was received here last 
season from Philadelphia almost all the season, but 
this year the Philadelphia market seems to hold up 
equal If not better than this market. 
Spot corn sold for five cents ber bushel higher on 
the St. Louis market than spot wheat. A barrel of 
patent flour could be bought for 12.80, while a barrel 
of standard corn meal cost 13. 
The annual grape, fruit, flower and vegetable show 
of the Chautauqua Horticultural Society will bo 
held at Kredonla, N. Y , September 26-28. Horticul¬ 
tural Institute, the last two days of the exhibit. 
The visible supply of California Lima beans Is less 
than half the consumption of last year. A favor¬ 
able outlook for the holders. Still sales are made at 
figures but little In advance of these prevailing for 
some time. 
In regard to Southern crops, the Manufacturers’ 
Record says that,, taken as a whole, the Southern 
crops will probably be larger this year than ever be¬ 
fore. Of corn, all reports say the crop Is unprece¬ 
dented. The outlook for cotton, based on acreage and 
present condition. Indicates a crop of from 8.000,000 
to 9 000,000 bales. The smaller crops have nearly all 
done well, thus giving the South the full measure of 
abundant crops of all kinds.

The Warren Live Stock Co., of Cheyenne, Wyo.,

Three products that shippers should hesitate to 
send to this market are pop corn, honey and maple 
syrup. 
Joslah K. Brown, Rx-State Dairy Commissioner of 
Mew York, uled at his home in Holland Patent, N. Y., 
August 7. 
Michigan farmers are said to have marketed 300,000 
bushels more wheat In July than In the same month 
a rear ago. 
Delaware and Maryland baye been sending some 
very green and poor grapes. Such always sell for 
low prices. 
Common pears, which are suitable only for cook¬ 
ing, bring prices which cannot prove very remunera¬ 
tive to shippers. 
Reports from the Oregon hop yards are favorable 
the crop being estimated at 60,000 bales—unpre¬ 
cedentedly large. 
Cooler weather has been favorable foi handling 
most fruits, but It hurts the watermelon trade. The 
price has been very low. 
Strictly prime evaporated apples for October de¬ 
livery were offered during the week for IX cents, but 
didn’t receive much attention. 
Butter prices remain about the same, but the pro¬ 
tracted drought has materially shortened the yield, 
and prospects for maintaining prices are good. 
The market has been overstocked with mnskmel- 
ons, and the quality of most of them has been very 
poor. Good ones will always sell at good prices. 
A good grape crop Is expected In New York, though 
probably below that of last year. Wine makers have 
such a large surplus that they are likely to be small 
buyers this year. 
The cranberry crop has been somewhat damaged 
In both Jersey and Wisconsin by flies, and late re¬ 
ports state that frosts In Wisconsin have further 
damaged the crop. 
Egg and Green Gage plums began to arrive from 
the Hudson River Val'ey early In the week. They 
met a limited demand and sold for low prices, though 
being of fine quality. 
A crop report based on returns made by 1,(XX) sgents 
threughont Great Britain, says that the ccndltlon on 
August 1 was lower than on July 1, although still 
hlgner than on August, 1893. The wheat crop has 
fallen off two per cent since July 1, and Is now abont 
15 per cent higher than on August 1, 1893.
