FRESH  FRUITS. 
Business  in  high  grade  apples,  especial¬ 
ly  choice  Greenings  has  been  active  and 
some  high  prices  upwards  of  $4  paid. 
Low  grades,  both  iu  variety  and  quality, 
are  working  out  at  almost  any  price  of¬ 
fered.  There  are  reports  of  rather  large 
profits  taken  by  dealers  who  stocked  up 
last  Fall  on  Spy,  and  Wine  sups,  and  to 
some  extent  Baldwin  and  Greening.  With 
the  large  plantings  being  made,  it  is 
quite  clear  that  except  in  short  crop 
years,  the  profit  in  apples  will  he  made 
on  varieties  that  are  really  good  to  eat, 
and  not  merely  to  look  at.  Strawberries 
in  moderate  supply,  hut  selling  low,  few 
over  25  cents  wholesale,  and  many  under 
15  cents.

V  ICG  ETABI.ES, 
Potatoes  have  been  a  little  off  in  price 
for  two  weeks.  Some  choice  Long  Island 
still  brings  above  $4  per  180  pounds  and 
Maine  nearly  as  much,  hut  the  bulk  of 
sales  has  been  at  two  cents  per  pound  for 
good  eating  stock — not  fancy.  A  great 
proportion  of  the  receipts  are  poorly 
graded — a  peck  or  more  of  waste  to  a 
sack.  Tliere  is  no  doubt  that  this  cuts 
the  price  of  many  better  graded  lots,  es¬ 
pecially  where  bought  hurriedly,  as  the 
practice  of  discounting  for  the  culls  is 
hard  to  overcome.  This  shows  the  ad¬ 
vantage  of  selling  through  an  association 
brand  or  establishing  a  private  brand  of 
excellence  and  selling  through  one  dealer, 
wlio  thus  knows  just  what  lie  is  handling. 
Large  quantities  of  farm  produce  of  all 
kinds  are  sold  at  New  York  on  this  pri¬ 
vate  mark  basis  at  the  top  prices  and 
frequently  ubove  any  printed  quotation. 
Old  cabbage  poor  and  selling  slowly; 
new  iu  surplus,  some  going  below  $1  per 
barrel  crate.  Old  onions  sprouted  and 
miming  poor;  uew  higher  when  sound. 
Riven  beans  and  peas  high  when  showing 
quality,  but  many  stale.  Choice  lettuce 
scarce.  Tomatoes  in  very  large  supply 
ami  practically  all  low.

Condition  Powders 
I  want  to  make  up  a  worm  and  condi¬ 
tion  powder  for  horses.  I  hav£  used  sul¬ 
phur  of  iron  separately.  I  thought  if 
I  were  to  take  common  salt,  charcoal, 
copperas,  sulphur,  and  possibly  one  or 
two  more  ’ngredietits  1  could  mix  up 
something  that  would  he  as  effective  and 
cheaper  than  advertised  stock  foods.  I 
have  eight  horses.  What  changes  and 
additions  would  you  recommend?  How 
much  of  each  item,  and  how  much  of  the 
mixture  would  it  be  safe  or  advisable  to 
feed  each  day?  2.  Mow  much  copperas 
should  he  dissolved  in  a  quart  of  water 
to  give  as  an  injection  for  pin  worms? 
If  not  advisable  to  use  copperas  for  this, 
what?  s.  F.  B. 
1.  We  do  not  supply  formula  for  such

toms  are  described,  and  no  competent 
veterinarian  can  be  employed.  We  do 
not  believe  in  doping  well  horsey  and 
dope  will  not  keep  animals  well  or  ward 
off  disease.  Provide  plenty  of  good  plain 
nutritious  feed  and* keep  the  animals  in 
sanitary  stables  anil  allow  plenty  of  sun¬ 
light,  fresh  air  and  exercise,  and  sickness 
will  he  far  less  common. 
2.  For  pin  worms  inject  soapy  warm 
water  and  tobacco  tea.  or  salty  worm 
water,  or  a  tea  of  one  and  one-half  ounces
