MARKETS. 
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
HOTHOUSE PRODUCTS.—Fancy lettuce 
Is in good demand, but medium grades are 
very dull. Cucumbers are quiet and fairly 
steady. Radishes are more plentiful. To¬ 
matoes steady. 
EGGS.—Prices have dropped four cents 
and may go lower. The highest quotation 
for prime western is 20 cents. Poor quali¬ 
ties are irregular, and movements of re¬ 
frigerator stock slow. 
POTATOES.—State and Western are in 
fair demand with a few fancy lots reaching 
$2, but this price is exceptional, and most 
of the business ranges between $1.62 and 
$1.87. Sweet potatoes are dull.

GRAIN. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—The market gen¬ 
erally is unsatisfactory. There is a little 
call for fancy scalded chickens and heavy 
fowls, but such grades are scarce. Fancy 
young turkeys sell fairly well, but mixed 
weights and irregular qualities of both 
chickens and turkeys are dull and greatly 
neglected. Ducks and geese are plenty. 
FRUITS.—The apple market is firm. Re¬ 
ceipts are light and stocks cleaned out 
promptly. Most of the grapes offered are 
very poor and sell at low figures. Cran¬ 
berries are firm. The stock on hand is 
light and there is a fair demand, with an 
upward tendency in price. Southern straw¬ 
berries show irregular quality and trade 
is quiet. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is weak and % cent 
lower. Michigan reports state that there 
is little chance of even a fair crop in that 
State the coming season, on account of 
damage done by freezing and thawing and 
by Hessian flies. Corn is firm and trade 
fairly active. Trade in oats is light, and 
some grades scarce at an advance of % 
cent. Offerings of rye are small and prices 
steady. But little feeding barley is being 
offered. Grain for malting is held at two 
to three cents above exporters’ limit. 
Buckwheat flour and grain are in light de¬ 
mand.

The weeder is becoming more and more 
popular every year, and justly so. No 
other one tool of equal expense, probably, 
saves so much labor and benefits a crop in 
so many ways. Of course, there have been 
improvements made in weeders from time 
to time, since the original was first brought 
to the attention of cultivators by The R. 
N.-Y. The flat upper portion of tooth, 
giving yielding motion, and round lower 
part, where it stirs the ground, is an ex¬ 
clusive feature of the Success weeder, and 
has made it exceedingly popular. It is 
made by D. Y. Hallock & Sons, Box 805, 
York, Pa. 
Time and experience have demonstrated 
beyond question that dishorning cattle is 
not only a most humane practice, but is 
also highly profitable to the owner of the 
stock. The best authorities now endorse 
dishorning, and it is practiced to-day in all 
the experiment stations and prize dairy 
herds of the country. Probably no one 
had more to do with bringing this about 
than the late A. C. Brosius, of Cochran- 
ville, Pa. Early methods of dishorning 
were both crude and painful. Mr. Brosius 
invented a dishorner which he patented in 
1892, which has a quick powerful action and 
makes a clean, smooth cut. The cutting 
edges of the blade are applied to four sides 
of the horn simultaneously, obviating en¬ 
tirely the cruel and painful operation of 
the straight, rotary or shear principle 
knives, which always result in more or 
less crushing or bruising. A cata¬ 
logue describing this invention, and giving 
the opinion of leading experiment station 
workers and cattlemen in regard to dis¬ 
horning, will be sent free to anyone ad¬ 
dressing A. C. Brosius, Cochranville, Pa., 
and mentioning this paper. 
CATARRH CAN BE CURED. 
Catarrh Is a kindred ailment of consumption, long 
considered incurable; and yet there is one remedy 
that will positively cure catarrh in any of its stages 
For many years this remedy was used by the late 
Dr. Stevens, a widely noted authority on all diseases 
of the throat and lungs. Having tested its wonderful 
curative powers in thousands of cases, and desiring 
to relieve human suffering, I will send free of charge 
to all sufferers from Catarrh. Asthma, Consumption, 
and nervous diseases, this recipe, in German, French 
or English, with full directions for preparing and
