Many  farmers  wait  until  sure  of  a  good 
cropof  corn  before  buying  a  silo  filler. 
We  make  special  preparations  to  ac¬ 
commodate  late  buyers.  If  yourdealer 
is  sold  out,  toil  him  to  telegraph  your 
order  for  a 
Boston  Produce  Markets 
The  market  has  advanced  about  one 
cent,  on  leading  grades.  Tub  creamery 
extras  sell  at  Ml  to  31  ^c,  and  firsts 
29  to  30c.  Extra  creamery  id  box 
and  print  is  32c.  Said  C.  II.  Stone  & 
Co. :  “There  is  plenty  of  butter,  although 
fresh  receipts  are  falling  off  somewhat. 
Quality  improves  whenever  weather  turns 
cool.  There  is  a  good  demand  in  the 
larger  cities.  Workmen  are  making  .$20 
to  $35  a  week  who  used  to  make  $10  or 
$15  and  they  are  good  buyers.” 
STRONG,  IRREGULAR  EGG  MARKET. 
Fresh  eggs  advance  without  seeming  to 
check  the  buying  power.  Desirable 
grades  are  scarce  and  buyers  in  a  hurry 
are  at  the  mercy  of  the  market.  The 
result  is  that  u  premium  is  often  paid  to 
secure  desirable  supplies,  and  different 
prices  are  quoted  for  the  same  grade.  “We 
had  quite  an  argument  at  the-  Exchange 
about  the  quotation  of  hennery  extras” 
said  a  member:  “We  placed  it  at  42o.,  but 
dealers  quoted  sales  all  the  way  from 
40  to  45c.,  and  it  was  hard  to  say  just 
what,  was  the  prevailing  price.  This  con¬ 
dition  is  owing  to  shortage  and  is  un¬ 
usual  at  this  time  of  year.”  An  enor¬ 
mous  demand  for  eggs  is  reported  from 
the  mill  cities.  We  quote  42  to  44c.  for 
extra  hennery,  41  for  Eastern  extras,  30 
for  Western  prime  firsts,  and  2f >y2  to 
28c.  for  cold  storage  eggs,  which  now  show 
a  profit  despite  the  predictions  of  so 
many  dealers  at  time  of  storage. 
POULTRY  SUPPLY  STILL  LIMITED. 
Most  Eastern  broilers  are  being  shipped 
alive,  and  bring  21  to  23c.  or  20  to  28c. 
dressed ;  roasters  24  to  25c.,  but.  there 
are  very  few  in  the  market.  A  few 
ducklings  are  10  to  20e.,  alive.  Live 
fowls  hold  at  ID  to  20,  and  dressed  22 
to  23c. 
VEGETABLE  PRICES  QUITE  FIRA1. 
Cabbage  are  doing  much  better  than  at. 
the  first,  good  native  bringing  $1.75.  Let¬ 
tuce  holds  recent  improvement  at  50c.  to 
$1.  I’eas  are  scarce,  flood  striped  shell 
beans  are  $1.50  per  box.  Corn  sells 
around  $1  per  box  and  the  same  is  paid 
for  early  potatoes,  or  $1.25  for  some 
choice  ones.  A  few  immature  Aroostook 
potatoes  sell  at  $2.25  per  two-busliel  hag. 
Dealers  report  light  acreage  and  yield. 
Native  onions  are  $1.50  to  $1.35  per  box. 
Tomatoes  bring  $3  a  box,  beets.  $1  per 
box ;  carrots,  50c. ;  radishes,  75c. ;  cu¬ 
cumbers  lower,  at  $1.75;  white  squashes, 
75c.  per  box. 
MORE  EARLY  APPI.ES. 
Quality  is  irregular,  causing  a  price 
range  of  50c.  to  $2  per  bn.  Large  Wil¬ 
liams  and  Duchess  are  selling  at  good 
prices.  Native  Clapp  pears  bring  $1.75 
per  box.  New  Jersey  peaches  are  oomiug 
rather  poor  and  selling  around  $1  per 
6-basket  carrier.  Blueberries  continue  in 
liberal  supply  at  10  to  15e.  A  lunch 
concern  is  reported  to  have  sold  about 
1,200  blueberry  pies  in  one  day  at  the 
opening  of  the  season,  and  they  buy  the 
best  berries  in  the  market.  Blackberries 
are  13  to  lSc, ;  gooseberries.  It!  to  18e.

Destroying  Turtles 
In  regard  to  E.  CVs  inquiry  as  to  how 
to  got  rid  of  turtles,  the  most  effective 
way  I  know  is  to  make  a  net  like  a  lob¬ 
ster  pot  (that  is  with  the  entrance  in  the 
form  of  an  inverted  coue)  out  of  chicken 
wire.  Make  it,  say  four  feet  long  by  2% 
feet  wide,  with  the  entrance  hole  six  to 
IN  inches  -across,  according  to  the  size 
turtles  That  are  in  Lho  pond;  put  the 
largest,  and  worst-smelling  piece  of  fish, 
flesh  or  fowl  into  it  that  the  operator 
can  get  hold  of  (a  dead  calf  is  excellent) 
and  sink  it  in  the  pond ;  and  when  he 
pulls  it  up  after  two  days  immersion  I’ll 
wager  there  won’t  be  room  for  another 
turtle  in  it.  1  have  found  turtles  have 
very  little  intelligence  about  getting  out 
of  such  a  pot.  It  does  not  require  watch¬ 
ing,  and  will  continue  doing  business  as 
long  as  there  are  turtles  and  bait.  I 
envy  E.  I  \  the  turtle  soup  ho  has  in  pros¬
