THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
MARKETS 
General Review. 
E^gs continue to rise. The present high 
figures are checking trade somewhat. 
Fancy creamery butter is not plenty at 
present. Factory and lower grades are 
dull The potato market has improved. 
Arrivals are large, but they are moving 
rapidly. Southern sweets are dull, many 
of them being poor. Corn tends down¬ 
ward, both here and in Europe, partly the 
effect of the recent Government report. 
Buckwheat is dull. The country fiour mills 
are getting most of the grain, which brings 
$1 20 to $1.30 per 100. Rye is very weak and 
neglected. Hay market is only barely 
steady.

GREAT CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW. 
The Chrysanthemum Society of America 
gave its annual show in conjunction with 
the American Institute at the new Herald 
Square Exhibition Hull, New York City, 
November 10-12. It was the be.st flower 
show, quality considered, ever given here. 
The bright weathef prevailing over large 
areas for several past weeks greatly de¬ 
veloped blooms grown for the exhibition. 
In size, finish and coloring those here 
. shown have seldom been equalled. For the 
last three years chrysanthemums in pink, 
crimson and maroon shades have been de¬ 
ficient in coloring, the yellows and whites 
monopolizing public attention. This year 
a new soft pink incurved variety, Wm. 
Duckham, seemed to gain most admira¬ 
tion. The favorite old pink and red kinds, 
including the indispensable Viviand-Morel, 
were shown in excellent form and good 
coloring. Yellow is the dominant tint, 
however, and a great proportion of the 
\^'('H-ri|)ened ]»otatoes stored in a cellar 
wiili good ventilation, and kept at a proper 
temperature, should not shrink in weight 
more than from live to 10 per cent, so if 100 
bushels are stored properly, from 90 to 95 
bushels could be marketed in March. It, 
however, potatoes are dug and stored early 
and cellar kept too warm the shrinkage 
will be much more. i,. n. nelson. 
Wisconsin. 
The Bowker's Animal Meal has been thor- 
iiighly tested t)y myself and a number of the 
neighl)ors. and all pronounce it the best ani¬ 
mal food for hens ever used in this section. 
On December 1 I had fifty line pullefs, ond 
was getting one egg per day. They laid fif¬ 
teen dozen that month ; in January fifty-five 
dozen, and in February sixty dozen, the feed 
lieing the same all the time-—boiled potatoes, 
shorts, and middlings, and meal.

monster prize blooms were of that color. 
Golden Wedding and Col. D. Appleton 
carried off the honors for size. Some of 
the largest flowers came near being a foot 
across. Yellow Timothy Eaton is very 
large and perfect, of a good clear yellow 
shade. The best new yellow prizetaker 
was labeled Percy Plumridge. It was large 
and perfect with an exceptionally good 
stem. Mile. Marie Liger, a clear pearly 
pink introduction of last year was shown 
in excellent condition. Timothy Eaton re¬ 
mains the best white, not having been 
surpassed since its dissemination three 
years ago. There was a great host of old 
favorites and an endless variety «f the 
smaller kinds and hardy outdoor varieties. 
The various classes of specimen plants 
were unusually perfect in their way. 
Grafted standards, carrying myriads of 
blooms in a dozen contrasting varieties, 
received much attention. A large plant 
with several thousands of small yellow 
single blooms—the original type species C. 
Indicum—afforded an astonishing contrast 
to its highly bred progeny. The exhibition 
hall proved admirably adapted for the pur¬ 
pose. The light is exceptionally good and 
the floor space ample. There were elabo¬ 
rate decorations in evergreens and Autumn 
foliage. Although primarily a chrysan¬ 
themum show there were many large and 
attractive collections of orchids, palms and 
decorative plants, as well as roses and car¬ 
nations. _ •w. V. F. 
A Western New York Farm.— I guess 
we shall manage to pull through this year 
and keep out of the poorhouse, as we had 
a fine crops of cherries, about 14,000 baskets 
of peaches, plums to burn, 1,000 barrels 
pears and about 5,000 barrels apples. We 
sold Bartlett and Duchess pears for $2 
and Kieffer for $2.75. It must be that fools 
are being made faster than being killed, 
but “there is no accounting for tastes,” 
else how do some fellows find wives? We 
sold the apples from lower farm for $1.75 
loaded on trolley at door; have sold Kings 
at $2.50 and are going to put those from 
upper farm in apple cellar in bins, and at 
our leisure box and ship them that way. 
We bought 3.000 barrels early at 32 cents 
delivered, but that won’t begin to hold our 
apples, and now barrels are selling for 65 
cents and farmers are standing about the 
cooper shops by the half-dozen, and when 
a barrel is thrown out they all make a 
grab and the one that gets it is called 
lucky. But we can get boxes for 13% cents 
each, and as they are selling now we can 
afford to put the best half into these and 
feed the other to the stock and then be 
ahead. We now have about 400 ewes in 
lamb; have a carload coming from the 
West, 90 per cent of which are warranted 
to have lambs before February 1. We 
shall put in from 60 to 75 steers; have now- 
on hand 30 bought at a good figure. We 
have also about 80 pigs and hogs.
