Crop and Market Notes — Continued. 
Beeswax is dull and the supply heavy at 27 to 
29 cents per pound 
New dried huckleberries have been offered for 
nine cents per pound. 
Peaches are plentiful, but all good fruit sells 
readily at former prices. 
Game is arriving slowly in small lots, and such 
as is of good quality finds a ready sale. 
A few Green Gage plums have reached the mar 
ket, but there is yet a light demand for them. 
Live poultry is in good demend at somewhat 
higher prices for fowls, and lower for chickens. 
Onions sell well when of good quality, but most 
of the receipts are far below what they should be. 
Hops are dull, and prices about the lowest yet 
reached. Indications point to low prices for the 
new crop. 
The export demand for Red Kidney beans has 
been very light, and as this is the chief outlet for 
them, prices have materially declined. 
The New York State crop bulletin says that, as' 
a rule, potatoes are very good; early potatoes, 
while often few in the hill, are of large size. 
Anthrax is still reported raging in southern New 
Jersey, and large numbers of hogs are said to be 
dying in Cumberland County, in the same State. 
Natural June color is the color desired the year 
’round, but new-made butter is also desired. 
Hence, if one cannot get the proper color by feed¬ 
ing, how else can it be obtained except by color¬ 
ing ? 
Experts on crop returns estimate that the 
spring wheat yield of the Northwest will be the 
largest on record. A yield of 170,000,000 to 175,000,- 
000 bushels is predicted in the Dakotas and Min¬ 
nesota. 
Eggs should have advanced more, but receipts 
have been fairly good, demand moderate, and the 
weather unfavorable for good quality, hence the 
continued low prices. There is a scarcity of prime 
stock, however. 
According to a report received at the State De¬ 
partment, the approximately correct value of 
America’s exports to Austria-Hungary during 
the year 1894, was $12,294,014—a large increase 
over those of the previous year. 
It is reported that the Boston Fruit Company 
has secured control of the Jamaica orange crop 
for three years, by which time it is expected the 
Florida trees will be in bearing condition again. 
Jamaica groves bear two crops annually. 
The 15th annual picnic of the Patrons of Hus¬ 
bandry of Essex, Morris and Union Counties, 
New Jersey, will be held at Tuttle’s Grove, on the 
banks of the Passaic River, Thursday and Fri¬ 
day, August 15 and 16. Noted speakers will be 
present. 
German papers declare that inspection of 
tinned American meats is of more importance 
than that of live cattle, and that inferior meats 
are used for this purpose. They call for a micro¬ 
scopical examination and stamping of all meats 
in addition to the regular inspection. 
It is reported that the German potato crop will 
probably be a failure, owing to the continued 
rains. Prospects of a blight are already setting 
in. Owing to the immense size of the crop, its 
failure would cause a large increase in the im¬ 
ports of other foods from the United States. 
According to reports from London, England 
has this year the largest apple crop that has 
been seen for many seasons. In all the European 
countries the crop is larger than usual with the 
exception of France, where the crop is only good 
Amerimin apples, if any are needed, must be of 
the fanciest varieties, and reach London in 
October. 
Texas fever is reported among the cattle in 
Huntingdon County, Pa. The State Board of 
Agriculture will investigate. The disease is sup¬ 
posed to have been introduced by infected hay 
and other feed being scattered along the railroad 
from cattle trains. Secretary Edge says that it 
is probably a scare, and that in no case is there 
danger of its spreading. 
The German Agrarians are now demanding 
that the importation of meat in casks shall be 
prohibited on the ground that meat thus packed 
is unwholesome. Some go still further, and'efforts 
will be made to secure legislation prohibiting the 
importation of all meats without regard to the 
existence or non existence of disease among ani¬ 
mals in the countries from which they are im¬ 
ported. 
It is reported that the outlook for the cranberry 
crop through southern New Jersey was never bet¬ 
ter at this season of the year. The berries were 
late in blossoming and forming, but the continu¬ 
ous wet weather has been greatly beneficial, and 
the crop now promises to equal the enormous 
yield of 1893, which was the greatest ever grown, 
and which aggregated a million bushels in New 
Jersey alone. 
Tioga County, Pa. —The oat crop promises to 
be the largest lor many years. Buckwheat also 
gives indications of a largeyield. It is estimated 
that the wheat yield of the valley between Wil¬ 
liamsport and Jersey Shore (a distance of 16 
miles) will foot up 500,000 bushels this season, 
greater than known at any time in the past.

Good Food Well Cooked Pro¬ 
motes Health. 
Here is something that no housewife 
would he without if once used. Steam 
cooked food is more savory, juicy and 
nourishing’ than when cooked in any 
other way. The cut shows the cooker. 
You can cook from one to four different 
articles at the same time, in compart¬ 
ments one above the other. It does not 
mingle the 
flavors. You 
can cook onions 
or cabbage in 
the lower ves¬ 
sel, and pud¬ 
ding in the one 
directly above, 
and the odor 
from one does 
not reach the 
other, but is 
confined to its 
own particular 
vessel. The 
food is cooked 
as well and as 
thorough in the 
top compart¬ 
ment as in the 
lower one. It can he used on any stove. 
We have a half dozen of these cookers 
that we will send while they last for 
$1.75 ; regular price, $3.50 ; or we will 
send one as a premium for seven new 
subscriptions. These will not last long 
at these terms, as w r e can only furnish 
six at this price. The first orders will 
have the preference, liut we will guar¬ 
antee one for a club of seven names re¬ 
ceived before September 1.
