THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
April 14 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
THE EGG MARKET is steady. Some 
stock has been bought for cold storage and 
the local trade is slightly improved. Indi¬ 
cations are that receipts for the next few 
days will be heavy. 
BUTTER has dropped three cents since 
last report. The decline has given a stim¬ 
ulus to buyers. The receipts contained 
about enough first quality to meet the de¬ 
mand. There was a fair call for choice 
rolls at IS cents. 
POULTRY.—Live poultry is scarce and 
the demand active. Receipts of fresh- 
killed dressed stock are moderate, and 
holders of desirable fowls are firm. Some 
of the dry-packed lots are showing the 
effect of the mild weather and have to be 
disposed of to cheap trade. The demand 
for fancy cold-storage hen turkeys is 
good, but other frozen stock is dull. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts at this market 
for the first four days of this week: 8,187 
cattle, 222 cows, 6,875 calves, 15,595 sheep, 
23,837 hogs. Nearly all of the cattle went 
direct to the slaughterhouses. Calves were 
dull at $4.25 to $7.25. Lambs sold at $7.30 
to $8.40. Hogs brought $5.30 to $5.75. 
Dressed beef was in good demand at seven 
to nine cents for fair to extra native sides. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is irregular at a slight 
decline. Advices from Missouri say that 
the crop in that State has come through 
the Winter in excellent condition. Corn 
is four cents higher than at last report. 
Oats are dull. Dealers seem to have a 
good supply and are indifferent about buy¬ 
ing. There is no export interest. All 
grades of rye are firm at an advance of 
three cents. Only a small trade in barley 
is reported._

MODERN DAIRY FEEDING. 
This is the title of a little pamphlet which 
can be had for the asking. The business 
cow eats books nowadays. She is too busy 
to digest and assimilate the whole bulk, 
so she turned that job over to her brother 
man. The old idea was that the cow had 
four stomachs. She now has five—the fifth 
is found under the hat of her owner. Such 
books as Modern Dairy Feeding present a 
mental balanced ration. It is collected 
from a thousand sources of information- 
boiled down and soluble for this fifth stom¬ 
ach. The cow’s brother man, digests it 
and turns the extract over to the cow. She 
“does the rest” in a satisfactory manner. 
It will cost but two cents to obtain the 
book. It may be worth $2 to you. Send at 
once to The American Cereal Co., 1339 
Monadnoek Building, Chicago, Ill. It will 
pay you to do this.

BUSINESS BITS. 
It ts said that the hand cultivator which 
the Ulrich Mfg. Co., 20 River St., Rock 
Falls, Ill., is selling, makes work in the 
garden and among small crops a real 
pleasure. It is a combined hoe, plow and 
cultivator weighing but 3% pounds. Every 
gardener should at least know about this 
tool. Full information by writing the 
above-named firm. 
Germo Insecticides.— Every live man 
east of the Mississippi, and a fair propor¬ 
tion of those west of it, has heard of the 
Bowker Fertilizer Co. of Boston, Mass. 
Long years of fair dealing have given this 
firm a good reputation. The Bowker 
Chemical Company therefore needs no in¬ 
troduction to our readers. This company 
manufactures and sells insecticides and 
fungicides—or “bad medicine” for insects 
and plant diseases. One thing that has 
kept farmers from using these remedies is 
the fact that it is a dirty and bothersome 
job to mix them. The Bowker Chemical Co. 
will do this work for you, and do it right. 
Send to 43 Chatham St., Boston, for their 
excellent pamphlet.

Successful Fruit Growing-. 
The address delivered by the super¬ 
intendent of the Lenox Sprayer Com¬ 
pany, of x > :ttsfield. Mass., before the 
Lenox Horticultural Society at Lenox, 
Mass., mention of which we made in 
previous issues, was such a popular suc¬ 
cess that the company have been 
obliged to change the plan of distribu¬ 
tion. The address is almost a college 
education to fruit growers, fruit dealers, 
and, in fact, to anybody eating fruit or 
even having but few fruit trees, or in 
any way concerned. It was an ad¬ 
mirable address, is quite lengthy, about 
an hour’s talk. It is said that had it 
been placed on the market -n book form 
it might have yielded the speaker a 
fortune; it no doubt would have sold at 
a good price. All rights were reserved, 
however. The full address, profusely 
illustrated, in pamphlet form, was in¬ 
tended to be sent to fruit growers and 
owners of estates, free for the asking, 
but requests for it came from all sorts 
of people. Dressmakers, school boys 
and girls, clerks, leaders of clubs, young 
lawyers, college boys, and many who 
never owned a fruit tree or even a busfi 
under the sun, sent for it. The com¬ 
pany had to draw a line at this point, 
as it was never intended for this class 
of people. To prevent imposition the 
address will only be sent to people in¬ 
terested in fruit culture, and a fee of 50 
cents in postage will be charged. This 
book exclusively treats of the interests 
of owners of fruit and shade trees, the 
kind of pumps in orchard work or in the 
park to be used, with comments upon 
the “homemade” Bordeaux, made on a 
barn floor by Mike—or Jim—with a hoe 
in hand, and its failure. Published on 
good paper, easy reading, plain in lan¬ 
guage, free from technicalities. We be¬ 
lieve this book to be a good investment 
for owners of country seats or fruit 
growers. We have one on our table; 
the book is all right. Send for the lec¬ 
ture to the Lenox Sprayer Co., 420 West 
Street, Pittsfield, Mass. “Cut this out 
before you forget.”
