MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
ICED POULTRY Is in light supply, and 
as invoices on the way are not heavy, the 
market shows a firmer feeling. Some 
extra grades are held a trifle higher than 
quotations. Spring ducks are in fair sup- 
jjly and sell slowly. 
EGGS are plentiful, and dealers have no 
trouble to get a good supply of high-grade 
goods. Some extra fancy pickings are 
moving at 13% cents. Medium and lower- 
grade stock sells slowly at irregular prices. 
Southern receipts are of rather inferior 
quality, very few being good enough to 
reach top quotations. 
STRAWBERRIES in large quantities are 
being received from North Carolina. 
Twenty-eight carloads came in May 10. 
The wholesale price received varies from 
eight to 16 cents per quart. The quality 
of the berries is only fair, many of them 
being small and having green ends. Ad¬ 
vices from the producing districts indicate 
that the crop will be a large one. 
THE BUTTER MARKET is in good con¬ 
dition for this season of the year. The de¬ 
mand, both for local and out-of-town trade, 
is sufficient to take all offerings of fresh- 
made goods. Under such conditions some 
lots are sold as extras that do not deserve 
so high grading. There is some inquiry 
for selected tubs of State dairy at 19 cents. 
Fresh factory is selling well to the bakers’ 
trade. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is dull. Some damage 
to the crop is reported in many of the 
large provinces of Russia. Crop reports 
from Austria and Hungary are favorable. 
Corn is lower. The export trade is fair, 
and some export inquiry is reported on 
rye and barley. The local demand for 
oats is light. Advices from Nebraska and 
South Dakota slate that there has been 
plenty of rain, and that wheat has a good 
start.

BUSINESS BITS. 
We are in receipt of a very convenient 
pocket calendar and note book from Wm. 
Cooper & Nephews, 142 Illinois St., Chicago, 
Ill., the manufacturers of the time-tested 
Cooper sheep dip. They inform us that 
they will be glad to send these pocket 
books gratis to any of our readers who 
ask for them as long as the supply lasts. 
Incidentally the book contains some in¬ 
formation about the dip. 
“Boxal” is a spraying mixture made by 
the Bowker Chemical Company, Boston, 
Mass. It kills bugs and blight at one 
shot. You do not have to use two mix¬ 
tures. Put it in water and let it go and 
the job is done. 
If any dairyman is thinking of building 
a silo this season, he should write Geo. D. 
Harder, Coblesklll, N. Y., for his cata¬ 
logue of round stave silos. It contains the 
most complete and detailed information 
and illustrations of silos, so much so that 
we have found it valuable for hatidy ref¬ 
erences in many cases ourselves. 
The well-known firm of berry basket 
manufacturers, A. H. Montague & Son, 120 
Warren St., New York City, have added 
a fruit and produce department. They 
are well equipped for this new line, and 
those of our leaders who have had dealings 
with them in the basket trade will feel as¬ 
sured of right treatment when shipping 
them produce. 
The Field Force Pump Co., Lockport, N. 
Y., have got up an automatic spraying ma¬ 
chine which will interest large orchardists. 
A 150-gallon tank and a 12-gallon storage 
chamber are placed on a wagon witn con¬ 
necting machinery. This machine is oper¬ 
ated from a drive wheel so that in moving 
from tree to tree the pressure in the stor¬ 
age chamber is pumped up to about 130 
pounds. This pressure gives five minutes' 
spraying with two Vermorel nozzles. A 
hand pump is also provided for emerg¬ 
encies. Fuller description of it will be sent 
on application of parties interested. 
Greasing a wagon saves horseflesh and 
prolongs the usefulness of the vehicle as 
well as the life of a horse. Friction in a 
wheel cuts away both boxing in the wheel 
and arm of the axle, and the first thing one 
knows his wheels wobble, if a box of 
Frazer’s axle grease and a wagon jack arc 
kept handy, the greasing is not liable to be 
neglected, and one trip will more than pay 
for the whole outfit. This grease has a 
good body and wears well, but it is better 
to apply oftener than necessary than run 
risks of heating a wheel, or using up 
horseflesh on a dry one, even when too 
loose to heat.

Do You Want a Watch? 
ir NOT YOUR 
BOY DOES. 
For several years during May we have given our 
boys a chance to get a new watch. This is the most 
tempting offer ever made them. The watch is full 
size, stem-wind and set, nickel finish, and warranted 
to keep accurate time. It is just the 
kind of watch to stand hard knocks by 
hoys or workingmen. For just one 
month, May—no longer, no shorter— 
we will send them to our folks for less 
than they cost by the thousand. Any 
time during May you may send us one 
new subscription, and SI.75, and 15 cents 
extra for postage and registering the 
watch, and we will send you the watch 
and the new rose Ruby Queen to the new 
subscriber. Of course, you get the SI 
for the new subscription, including rose, 
so that the watch will cost you only 
75 cents, besides postage. If not satis¬ 
fied with watch, we will return all the 
money. Now, do not delay until June, and then ask whether we will send the 
watch. We positively will not do so after June 1. We do this to increase our new 
subscriptions for May. If you want a watch, now is the time.
