Crop and Market Notes — Continued. 
The dried fruit market is quiet, but little doing, 
and prices show little change. 
Pure beeswax is worth 31*4 to 32*4 cents per 
pound, and the supply is light. 
Receipts of potatoes are not excessive, but the 
demand is light and market dull. 
Fancy apples bring very high prices, but most 
of the receipts are of inferior quality. 
Radishes are coming from all Southern points 
all the way from Norfolk to New Orleans. 
Butter is plentiful, and the quotations made are 
the very highest realized for choice goods. 
Egyptian onions sold in Boston for $2 per sack 
last week. Here they were about 25 per cent less. 
The dressed poultry market has been weak ex¬ 
cept on turkeys, capons and fine Philadelphia 
chickens. 
Strawberries are arriving more freely, and sell 
well when of good quality. Many poor ones are 
received, however. 
One of the Norfolk steamers brought 4,000 
barrels of spinach, 3,000 barrels of kale, besides 
some other vegetables. 
Many Cuban sugar planters are reported in a 
bad way financially on account of a short crop 
and unremunerative prices. 
The Cuban sugar crop is estimated to be 20 per 
cent short, owing to bad weather which interfered 
with gathering and grinding the cane. 
With thousands of people nearly starving to 
death in this country, the closing of foreign mar¬ 
kets ought not to be so much of a bugbear. 
There is a heavy surplus of milk on the market 
nowadays, and lower prices are imminent. All be¬ 
cause of the dissolution of the Milk Exchange, of 
course. 
High-priced meats may drive consumers to eat 
more fruits and vegetables, which will be an ex¬ 
cellent thing for themselves as well as for the 
producers. 
The last Bermuda steamer brought 7,500 crates 
of onions and 1,900 barrels of potatoes. Yet the 
crops there were reported almost totally destroyed 
not long since. 
Canned meats have advanced in price, but job¬ 
bers do not seem inclined to buy heavily, as the 
belief is general that the whole advance is purely 
a speculative movement. But the dear people 
foot the bills just the same. 
The Jewish demand for live poultry for the Pass- 
over feast, caused a higher market and brisk 
trade. Fowls and chickens were most in demand. 
Turkeys have been scarce, and the price has 
ruled high. There is little demand for geese, and 
the market has been weak at low prices. 
The receipts of eggs for the Eastern market, 
although below those of last year, exceeded the 
demand. The market toward the end of the week 
was not very strong, and prices declined some¬ 
what. Duck and goose eggs were not in large 
supply, the demand was good, and prices were 
well sustained.

Is experience worth any- 
J thing in farming ? L 
| Suppose you decide to move 1 
J to town and rent the farm | 
I “on shares.” 
f You have a chance to rent to 
a man who has been a store¬ 
keeper; to another who has been 
a stock buyer ; to one who has 
been farming for five years, and 
to another who has been farm¬ 
ing for twenty years. Other 
things being equal the “twenty 
year” man would get your farm. 
Greater experience — that’s the 
reason.

is the name of the inventor of 
the first successful reaping ma¬ 
chine. 
Since 1831 that name has been 
identified with whatever is best 
in grain and grass harvesters. 
The makers of the McCormick have 
neither been “ keeping store ” nor “buy¬ 
ing cattle”—perfectly honorable lines of 
business but not the McCormick line. 
For sixty-four years they’ve simply been 
building McCormick light-running steel 
, binders, reapers and mowers. That’s 
I greater experience than anybody else 
I has had in this line.
