MARKET NOTES 
butter.—E xtra fresh erenmery is a 
little short of actual needs, and the next 
finality is selling a trifle better. Under 
grades, storage creamery, factory and 
renovated are dull. It looks as though a 
further cut in price wnuld be needed to stir 
up much interest on the part of buyers. 
AUSTRALIAN TRADE.—The Victoria 
Agricultural Journal gives the following 
l.gures on shipments from that port for 40 
(lays in June and July, I'.KE: Butter, 905,818 
pi'.unds; cheese, 12,528 pounds; rabbits, 301,- 
41:. pairs; mutton, 8,861 carcasses. For the 
three years ending with 1901, exports w’ere: 
Butter, 103,177,023 pounds; cheese, 1,824,291 
pounds; mutton, 5.36,522 carcasses; rabbits, 
frozen, 7,284.135 iiairs; canned, 9,017,7.56 
pound.s: raisins, 2,013,218 pounds. 
CRACKER SALES.—With improvements 
in (luality, jiackages and methods of dis¬ 
tribution the cracker business is taking a 
front seat, 'i'he profits of the cracker trust 
for 1902 were $3,6.89,338 on total sales of $40,- 
221,925. 'fhe sealed package is a great im- 
luovement over the old plan of selling bar¬ 
reled crackers, in which the latter half of 
tlie barrel, as sold in the country grocery, 
always got stale. Two new factories arc 
bi'ing built which when complete will turn 
out 500,000 pound packages per day. The 
system of wrapping is expensive, but it 
has I'osiilted in increased sales to such an 
extent as to make it a paying investment. 
CHEAl’ APPLES.—Not long ago the 
daily papers stated that about $800 worth 
of apples standing on track at a station 
in northern New York had been sold by 
the railroad company for demurrage for 
$21. It was said that a local handler re¬ 
ceived the api)les for a New York concern, 
which refused to take them. The man 
who bought the fruit for $24 writes: 
“'ITie aiiples had stood on the track for 
.30 days and were frozen solid. I bought 
them for the barrels, not the apples, but 
now ext'cct to save about 100 barrels of 
apples.” 
We have seen apples frozen as hard as 
rocks in barrels, that did not appear 
greatly damaged when thawed out very' 
slowly. Some varieties stand such treat¬ 
ment better than others. We remember 
one, a seedling, that was actually im- 
l)roved b.v freezing. It was j)robably built 
on the plan of the frost grape. 
COURTING 
DANGER 
It is courting danger to stand under 
icy eaves. Not a few have learned this 
to their cost. Every winter injury and 
even death are reported as the result of 
this carelessness. But there is a far 
more popular way of courting danger. 
Every man or woman who neglects a 
cough is inviting sickness, and many a 
fatal sickness has its beginning in a slight 
cough. 
The timely use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden 
Medical Discovery will cure the cough. 
Even when the cough is obstinate and 
there is hemorrhage with emaciation and 
W'eakness, "Goiden Medical Discovery” 
always helps and almost always cures. 
"I was troubled with a bad cold, which settled 
on niy lungs and left me with a miserable 
cough,” writes Mr. Joseph D. Burns, of 318 
Huestis Street, Ithaca, New 
York. «I u.sed two bottles of 
your ‘ Golden Medical Discov¬ 
ery,' after which my cough 
disappeared entirely. I can¬ 
not recommend your medi¬ 
cine too highly.” 
Accept no substitute for 
''Golden Medical Discov¬ 
ery.” There is nothing 
"just as good” for dis¬ 
eases of the stomach, 
blood, and lungs. Sub¬ 
stitution means a little 
more profit to the dealer 
but a loss to you.

HEAVY FINE UPHELD.—Nearly two 
years ago a State game protector found in 
a cold .storage plant In this city about 
40.000 birds which were being held in the 
closed .season. This subjected the storage 
people to a fine of $25 for each bird, or $1,- 
Ot'O.OOO for the lot. 'I'he case was carrietl 
to the Court of Appeals, at .\lbany, which 
has now decided tliat the fine must be paid. 
It was elaimed that this was a eommon 
eiisloin with storage ooncern.s, that they 
dill not know what was in tlie packages, 
rind tliat tlie line was excessive. Under 
the present law the court certainly eoitld 
make no rulin.g other than the one men¬ 
tioned. Tlie law means something or it 
does not. In many cases small offenders 
have been hunted down, while large ones 
have escaped to such an extent as to lose 
all fear of prosecution. The need of some 
features of existing game laws is not ap¬ 
parent to the general public, but they 
should be enforced or repealed. 
VEGE'l’ABLES.—Receipts of potatoes are 
large, and market hardly steady. 'The 
highest figure noted for iMng Island and 
Maine stock is $2.25. 'I'here is very little 
hiisiiiess in foreign potatoes, prices being 
100 low for iirofltable shliiment. Cabbages 
are very low. 'I'he business seems to have 
been overdone for this market; $6 to $S per 
toil for best white is a ruinou.s price to 
growers. 'I'he onion situation is not en- 
ccui'aging. 'I'here is a large supply of mis¬ 
erably poor stuff, which sells for almost 
any price, fl'he New Orleans salads, such 
as romaine, chicory and escarol, are sell¬ 
ing better pro])ortionately lliap lettuce. 
They stand shiimient better and remain in 
good condition longer. At present southern 
radishes are scarce, the best selling nearb* 
as high as hothouse. 'There are jdenty of 
good-looking parsnips, wliicli go at 75 
cents per barrel. Peoiile do not seem to 
care much for them, 'i'lie same is true of 
salsify, or vegetable oyster. Unless one 
has a sure market for these things we 
should not ad\-i:se raising them, as ship- 
nieiits here are likel.v to be unsatisfactory. 
'I'omatoos, except hothouse, are poor and 
sell slowly. w. jj. 
Fu.i.ing Tce. —We notice one man .says 
pound up ice to till cracks; we think snow 
is just as good if it is to he had, and not 
a fiuaiTer of the labor. Also says: “A good 
roof over icehouse and two feet of saw- 
du.st on top. ’ I know of quite a number 
of ice stacks, just posts set up, boarded 
inside and a foot of sawdust on sides and 
about two feet on top, will keep ice the year 
tound. Ornamental? Of course not; town 
Joes not even tax them. 3 , b.

is a guarantee of a speedy and successful harvest. Time is 
money to every farmer and is always worth more when the 
grain is ripe than at any other season of 
the year; therefore, it pays the farmer 
well to own the McCormick—the binder 
that not only saves his grain, but also 
saves his money in saving his time.
