Lebanon  who  gets  them  at  our  house  ducts,  potatoes  90c  and  $1 ;  beans  $3  to 
once  every  week;  he  retails  them  I  think  $4.  Cattle  arc  selling  from  $50  upward, 
for  from  four  to  six  cents  per  dozen  Milk  at  factory  and  eondensery  $1.45  per 
more.  Sometimes  he  ships  some  to  the  cwt.  for  49c  milk.  Fruit  and  gardening

per  bu.  to  the  grocer  ( wholesale  i  to 
about  $1.20  on  the  market.  Timothy  and 
clover  mixed  hay  $20  per  ton.  The  price 
received  for  wheat  from  our  local  mil¬ 
lers  is  usually  from  eight  to  10  cents 
lower  than  the  New  York  and  Philadel¬ 
phia  markets,  the  reason  for  this  being 
more  is  raised  locally  than  used,  hence 
some  must  be  shipped.  The  price  tor 
corn  generally  is  fully  as  much,  some¬ 
times  a  few  cents  more,  than  the  New 
York  and  Philadelphia  markets;  much 
corn  iy  used  locally  for  fattening  oxen 
and  hogs,  and  carloads  of  corn  are  bought 
from  the  Middle  West.  Apples  seemed 
not  to  be  over-supplied  in  this  section. 
Last  Fall  and  early  Winter  good  varie¬ 
ties  sold  for  90  cents  to  $1  per  bushel; 
later  in  the  Winter  somewhat  more  than 
a  dollar  could  he  realized.  Small  fruits 
when  in  season,  snob  as  strawberries, 
raspberries,  cherries,  currants,  often  sell 
locally  for  three  one-quart  boxes  for  25 
cents,  and  when  very  plentiful  for  four 
one-quart  boxes  or  even  more  for  25c. 
Sour  cherries  are  generally  a  poorer  sell¬ 
er — oft  times  more  plentiful  too.

April  29.  Wo  have  an  unusually  back¬ 
ward  Spring.  The  weather  has  been  cold 
and  wet;  the  ground  filled  with  water. 
We  have  Lad  several  heavy  thunder 
showers  and  some  hail.  There  has  been 
very  little  plowing  done  yet,  no  oats 
sown,  which  is  very  remarkable  for  the 
month  of  April ;  no  gardens  made  yet. 
Some  have  tried  tractors  to  plow  with 
and  have  had  to  quit.  Farmers  are  try¬ 
ing  to  spray  where  it  is  possible;  some 
have  got  stuck  at  that.  The  apple  pros¬ 
pect  is  very  good ;  peaches  are  a  failure. 
Pears  ami  cherries,  also  plums,  promise 
well.  The  roads  are  in  a  bad  condition, 
due  to  the  use  of  the  automobile,  and 
the  money  system  of  highway  labor.  If 
we  had  the  old  way  farmers  would  have 
the  roads  all  scaped  by  this  time;  now 
they  are  imserapcd.  It  is  very  unsatis¬ 
factory,  especially  for  the  rural  mail  car¬ 
riers  ;  the  law  should  be  repealed.  Wheat 
$1.10;  oars  40;  corn  for  seed  $1.  Early 
potatoes,  wholesale,  $1  :  retail  by  the  seed 
merchant  $2.  Ilay  $20.  Veal  9e:  pork 
9c:  butter  25c;  eggs  20c.  E.  T.  B.

April  29.  The  outlook  for  grass  is  very 
good  at  present,  we  have  had  lots  of  Avet 
weather,  ami  meadows  and  pastures  are 
starting  well,  but  it  has  been  so  wet  that 
at  this  time  no  oats  have  been  sown  and 
but  very  little  Spring  plowing  done.  Cat¬ 
tle  have  wintered  well,  but  hay  is  getting 
scarce;  it  is  now  $15  at  the  farm.  We 
get  10  cents  under  Bordens  for  milk  at 
shipping  plant  here.  Cheese  factory 
about  two  miles  from  here  does  better 
and  some  are  going  there.  Fresh  cows 
are  worth  from  $05  to  $80;  fat  cows  5c 
lb.  on  foot;  veal  calves  6c  to  8c  as  to 
condition;  hogs  S'/jC  live  weight.  Farm¬ 
ers  generally  think  they  do  not  get 
enough  for  milk;  at  the  prices  of  feed 
it  is  hard  to  make  much  of  a  profit  from 
the  dairy  business.  A.  a.  d. 
Coventry*  N.  Y. 
The  outlook  for  the  season’s  dairy  bus¬ 
iness  will  probably  be  fair.  The  cattle 
nave  come  through  the  Winter  in  good 
condition  where  they  have  been  well- 
cared  for.  but  owing  to  a  rather  light 
hay  crop  with  some  of  the  farmers,  cows 
have  been  scrimped  on  feed.  Pastures 
seem  to  be  starting  pretty  well  now. 
Prices  at  present  are  better  than  in  some 
places,  but  are  none  too  high  compared 
Seeing  the  Difference 
between  the 
and  other 
Cream  Separators 
This  is  a  dairy  section.  The  milk 
is  shipped  to  New  York  City  via  Rut¬ 
land  or  N.  Y.  C.  railroads,  or  sold  to_the 
creameries.  It  brought  $1.40  to  $1.45  in 
April.  Good  grade  cows  sell  for  $60  to 
$80.  Pork  is  now  bringing  $12  per  hun¬ 
dred;  veal  $11.  Oats  50  to  55  cents. 
Norwood,  N.  Y.  F. 
Following  prices  were  realized  at  auc¬ 
tion  April  25:  A  dairy  of  17  cows  aver¬ 
aged  $75;  10  two-year-old  heifers  aver¬ 
aged  $50 ;  13  one-year-olds  averaged  $22. 
Good  full  aged  work  horses  $150.  Ilay

minutes  to  compare  the  separating  bowl  construction,  the  size, 
material  and  finish  of  the  working  parts,  particularly  those  subject  to 
wear,  the  manner  of  oiling,  and  everything  which  enters  into  the 
design  and  construction  of  a  separator  as  a  simple  durable  machine, 
you  will  still  further  see  the  difference. 
Then  if  you  go  a  step  farther  and  turn  the  cranks  of  the  two 
machines  side  by  side  for  fifteen  minutes,  running  milk  or  water 
through  the  bowl,  you  will  see  still  more  difference. 
And  if  you  will  run  the  two  machines  side  by  side  in  practical 
use,  as  any  De  Laval  agent  will  be  glad  to  have  you  do,  the  De  Laval 
one  day  and  the  other  machine  the  next,  for  a  couple  of  weeks,  you 
will  see  still  greater  difference  in  the  work  of  the  two  machines. 
Every  De  Laval  agent  considers  it  a  privilege  to  show  the  difference 
between  the  De  Laval  and  other  separators  and  to  afford  every  pros¬ 
pective  buyer  the  opportunity  to  try  out  and  prove  the  difference  to 
his  own  satisfaction,  if  on  first  examination  he  feels  the  slightest  doubt 
about  it.  If  you  don’t  know  the  nearest  De  Laval  agent  write  to  the 
nearest  office  as  below. 
Buffalo  Markets 
The  city  markets  sire  now  full  of  gar¬ 
den  plants  for  sale,  which  will  continue 
till  well  into  July.  Meanwhile  the  vege¬ 
table  supply  is  improving  in  places.  Re¬ 
port  has  it  that  there  is  to  be  a  deluge

of  the  Ohio  River,  which  is  a  territory 
that  hns  not  commonly  been  depended  on.

main  at  $9  per  barrel  and  sweets  at  $1.25 
per  hamper.  Apples  are  not  high.  The

son.  at  $4  for  best  California  or  Carolina 
and  $2  to  $3.50  for  other.  Other  vege¬ 
tables  are  $3  and  $4  for  best  wax  beans, 
per  hamper,  $1  per  barrel  for  old  cab¬

$2.75  per  carrier  for  tomatoes.  The  onion 
market  is  unsettled,  with  fancy  yellow 
$1.40  per  bushel,  Texas.  $2  per  crate  and 
Bermuda,  $2.50  per  crate.  Onion  sets
