WBAK  TONE  OF  BUTTER  MARKET. 
Continued  heavy  receipts  have  caused 
the  butter  market  to  ease,  oft  a  little. 
With  this  year  of  heavy  production  and 
rather  ordinary  quality,  it  is  easy  to 
guess  what  might  have  happened  to  the 
butter  market  except  that  the  prosperous 
times  have  allowed  the  public  to  buy 
liberally.  A  good  general  demand  for 
tho  best  grades  of  butter  is  oue  of  the 
prominent  effects  of  settled  good  times. 
But  just  now  the  arrivals  have  been  so 
far  ahead  of  normal  that  dealers  show  a 
disposition  to  cut  prices  a  little,  being 
far  from  anxious  to  store  any  more  if 
they  can  help  it.  Best  Northern  tub

VEALS  IN  LIGHT  SUPPLY. 
Values  in  fresh  meats  are  well  sus¬ 
tained  owing  to  light  supply.  Choicest 
veals  readily  bring  Hie.  and  fair  to  good 
11  to  12c.  Eastern  lambs,  15  to  10c  and 
yearlings  12  '/>  to  13 %e. 
BEANS  HIGHER. 
The  price  of  hand-picked  pea  beans 
has  jumped  to  $5.75  or  $0  per  bu.  on  ac¬ 
count  of  light  supply  and  buying  for  ex¬ 
port.  Red  kidneys  $5,75. 
HAY  IN  WEAK  POSITION. 
The  hay  situation  seems  to  be  weak¬ 
ened  hy  the  prospect  of  a  heavy  new  Crop 
which  should  begin  to  reach  this  market 
from  the  West  within  a  month.  Said 
one  of  the  largest  receivers:  “tin  account 
of  heavy  receipts  the  market  is  weaker 
and  prices  lower  on  all  grades^  Clover 
mixed  is  quoted  at.  $12  to  $15,  but  is 
practically  unsalable  because  will  not 
buy.  No.  1  Timothy  is  $20,  a  drop  of  $3 
to  $4.  The  prospect  for  the  new  crop 
is  good  if  there  is  good  weather  to  cure 
it.  Shipments  from  Ohio  will  begin 
about  the  first  of  August,  about  three 
weeks  of  barn  curing  being  needed.  New 
York  State  hay  begins  about  Sept.  1. 
Old  hay  at  present  is  coming  from  Mich¬ 
igan  find  New  York.  The  freight  embar¬ 
go  on  the  Boston  &  Maine  railroad  shuts 
out  New  England  hay.  It  looks  as  if 
tho  market  might  continue  to  ease  off.”

Single-Comb  White  Wyandottes 
Replying  to  the  inquiry  of  Frank  Zorn, 
page  740,  as  to  the  possibility  of  breed¬ 
ing  single  comb  White  Wyandottes,  I 
would  say  that  it  is  very  easy,  if  one 
wishes  to  do  it.  I  have  kept  White 
Wyandottes  for  years,  and  the  single  comb 
character  is  constantly  cropping  out. 
Singleness  of  comb  is  a  Memlelian  re¬ 
cessive  character,  and  the  rose  form  is 
dominant,  so  that  the  lirst  selection  of 
single  comb  birds  may  lie  depended  upon

systematic  breeding  to  eliminate  the  sin¬

My  single  comb  hens  in  the  past  have 
certainly  been  good  layers,  but  I  see  no 
reason  to  think  there  is  any  correlation 
between  shape  of  comb  and  fecundity, 
and  1  should  expect  a  single  combed 
strain  of  Wyandottes  to  be  neither  bet¬ 
ter  nor  worse  layers  than  the  rose  combed 
stock  from  which  they  Sprung.  There¬ 
fore,  in  starting  such  a  strain,  I  should 
take  great  pains  to  get  my  foundation 
birds  from  a  heavy-laying  strain.

Value  of  10-Weeks  Chicks 
One  of  our  readers  has  asked  us  to 
name  a  fair  price  per  100  for  chicks  nine 
to  10  weeks  old  when  day-old  chicks 
about  the  same  character  sell  for  $10  a 
hundred.  We  think  few  people  really  care 
to  sell  JO  week-obl  birds.  What  is  con¬ 
sidered  a  fair  price  for  such  birds? 
I  guess  R.  1.  Red  pullets  should  bring 
90c..  W.  Leghorn  pullets  75",  each,  at  10 
weeks,  with  conditions  as  they  are  here. 
Connecticut,  harry  b.  cook. 
You  are  correct  in  your  supposition 
that  very  few  fanciers  would  care  to  sell 
nine  to  10-wecks-old  chicks.  The  ques¬ 
tion  you  ask  as  to  the  value  of  chicks  of 
this  age,  raised  from  stock  from  which 
day-old  chicks  sell  for  10  cents  each,  is 
not  very  difficult  to  answer,  as  in  my 
opinion  they  would  only  be  worth  the 
local  market  price  for  broilers.  Ten- 
weeks-ohl  chicks  of  any  of  the  American 
breeds,  if  properly  raised,  would  weigh 
about  pounds,  and  my  butcher  tells 
me  that  they  are  selling  broilers  til  45 
cents  per  pound.  Of  course,  this  price 
will  be  very  much  lower  within  the  next, 
few  weeks,  as  more  broilers  come  on  the  Maine  State  Poult  try  Show,  Portland 
market.  We  sell  day-old  chicles  from  our  Dec.  12-15. 
choice  matings  at.  50  cents  each,  and  if  I 
were  to  sell  10- weeks-old  birds  I  should 
want  $2  apiece,  but  I  have  none  to  sell 
at  this  price.  Cl.  Arthur  cook. 
Massachusetts- 
Within  24  hours  of  the  receipt  of  this 
inquiry  I  was  tisked  by  two  customers  to 
quote  on  just  such  chickens,  in  lots  of 
several  hundred.  You  are  right;  I  think 
most  growers  do  not  care  to  sell  sit  this 
age,  for  the  reason  that  it  is  hard  to  sat¬ 
isfy  the  buyer.  The  prospective  customer 
is  impressed  by  the  comparatively  small 
size  of  the  birds,  and  fails  to  make  due 
allowance  for  the  less  apparent  elements 
involved.  A  chicken  at  10  weeks  is  prac¬ 
tically  raised,  and  represents  much  more 
than  10  cents  plus  feed  and  fuel.  The 
grower  of  chickens  to  this  age  has  shoul¬ 
dered  all  the  risks,  and  is  entitled  to  a 
proportionate  profit.  Lacking  experi¬ 
ence,  those  who  have  not  undertaken  rais¬ 
ing  chickens  cannot  appreciate  the  pit¬ 
falls  and  disappointments  that  go  with 
the  business  and  tlio.se  who  have  had  ex¬ 
perience  but  wish  to  buy  often  seem  un¬ 
willing  to  grant  the  proper  allowance.  I 
should  say  that  the  value  of  such  chickens 
could  be  figured  to  better  advantage  from 
what  they  would  be  worth  as  broilers  and 
developed  pullets,  than  from  the  day-old 
chick  basis.  Assuming  them  to  be  good 
stock,  but  not  fancy  or  highly  bred,  the 
cockerels  should  be  worth  40  to  50  cents 
as  broilers,  and  the  pullets  if  kepi  should 
bring  $1  each  tit  five  to  six  months  old. 
This  would  be  not  far  from  4,5  cents  for 
the  cockerels  and  00  cents  for  the  pullets 
at  the  age  given;  or  an  average  of  a  little 
better  than  50  cents  apiece  for  the  lot. 
Of  course,  tics  is  not  suggested  as  a  hard 
and  fast  rule  in  any  sense;  vitality,  thrift 
and  inherent  quality  will  vary  widely, 
and  culls  may  be  many  or  few:  but  we 
know  of  no  better  basis  as  a  guide. 
New  York,  El, US  W.  BENTLEY. 
T  figure  that  chicks  four  weeks  old  are 
worth  double  the  price  asked  for  baby 
chicks.  I  assume  that  anyone  buying 
10- weeks-old  chicks  is  looking  for  pullets, 
and  they  arc  worth  at  that  age  within  50 
cents  of  the  price  they  would  be  worth 
when  grown,  as  all  risk  is  past,  or  prac¬ 
tically  all.  If  1  bred  stock  that  I  ob¬ 
tained  $2  each  for  pullets  l  would  con¬ 
sider  the  10-weeks-plrl  pullet  chick  to  be 
worth  $1.50  and  $1.50  pullets  to  be 
worth  $1  when  10  weeks  old.  Parties 
writing  me  for  cockerels  at  this  age  I 
ask  three-fourths  of  my  list  price  for 
mature  birds.  ir.  w-  sanborn.

I  should  ask  for  my  birds  if  sold  when

pedigree.  OBED  G.  knight.
