REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
EGGS.—The stock on hand shows but a 
small proportion of strictly fancy, yet deal¬ 
ers are not having much difficulty In get¬ 
ting a fair supply of satisfactory quality. 
On the lower grades there is considerable 
pressure to sell. 
FEED is a triile higher on account of the 
drought west, but trade is dull. There is 
no export business except on a small scale. 
Standard middlings are offered at $16; flour 
middlings, $17.50; Spring bran, $15.75, and 
Red Dog, $17.50. 
POULTRY.—Receipts of old fowls are 
moderate, which is fortunate, as trade is 
very dull. Large, extra broilers are scarce 
and sell well. Spring ducks are plenty and 
prices weak. Live fowls are selling slowly, 
yet former prices are maintained. Pigeons, 
ducks and geese are lower. 
BUTTER remains the same as at last 
report. The price dropped one cent during 
the week, but quickly recovered. Trade is 
quite active, and exporters are showing 
some interest. The European steamers 
sailing June 14 took 2,000 packages. Re¬ 
ceipts of State dairy are light. There is a 
fair call for good factory and imitation 
creamery 
FRUITS.—Tne strawberry market is 
somewhat demoralized. The receipts are 
heavy and the keeping quality seems to be 
poor. Huckleberries are scarce. Prime 
blackberries and gooseberries are selling 
well. Plums and eastern cherries are dull. 
Several cars of southern muskmelons have 
arrived, but the bulk are not prime. The 
quality of the watermelons received is bet¬ 
ter than usual at this season of the year, 
but the liberal supply has caused a drop 
in prices. 
LIVE STOCK.—Arrivals at this market 
for the first four days of this week were: 
7,414 cattle; 204 cows; 10,895 calves; 32,689 
sheep, and 17,665 hogs. Steers sold at $4.85 
to $5.70; bulls, $3 to $4.60, and cows, $2.25 to 
$4.20. Milch cows with calves brought $35 
to $45 per head. Calves were lower, veals 
selling at $1.50 to $7, and buttermilks, $4 to 
$4.75. The quality of the sheep and lambs 
offered was good, but on account of in¬ 
creased receipts prices dropped. Sheep 
brought $3.50 to $5.15, and lambs, $6 to $8. 
State hogs were steady at $5.55 to $5.65.

BUSINESS BITS. 
There is a good opportunity for a farm 
superintendent to care for that New Jer¬ 
sey farm as advertised in our for sale col¬ 
umns this week. A place of this kind 
ought to attract the attention of good men. 
We have tried the prepared insecticides 
made by the Bowker Chemical Co. The 
Bodo mixture is a perfect substitute for the 
homemade Bordeaux, while Boxal certain¬ 
ly does the work expected from Bordeaux 
and Paris-green mixed. 
Our stock men are having trouble with 
flies on their stock. The Hope Farm folks 
have found nothing better than Shoo Fly, 
and we have just ordered a lot of this mix¬ 
ture. It certainly keeps the flies off the 
stock, and it heals wounds and sores. 
The Consumers’ Carriage & Mfg. Co., 
Chicago, Ill., have been dealing with our 
readers for the past season and the fact 
that we have never received a complaint 
speaks well for their business methods. 
Their specialty is carriages, as the name 
indicates, but their catalogue contains 
many other supplies for the farm and 
home. The catalogue is free for the ask¬ 
ing. 
Gombault’s Caustic Balsam has many 
friends among horse owners. Mr. John 
O’Neil, of Birdsall, N. Y., writes concern¬ 
ing it: Your last letter of instruction, re¬ 
ceived some time ago, requested me to 
write you the result of my experience. I 
used the Caustic Balsam three times 
on the horse with splendid results. I con¬ 
sider it a splendid medicine. The leg is 
good again. With thanks for past favors, 
etc.” It is made by Lawrence-Williams 
Co., Cleveland, O. 
Fairbanks, Morse & Co., of Chicago, the 
well-known scale manufacturers, have re¬ 
cently placed upon the market a remark 
able little machine which has been very 
appropriately named a “Jack of all trades,” 
as it is capable of doing such a variety of 
work in and about the farm. It consists 
of a 1% horse-power gasoane engine all 
connected up ready for work. Among pur¬ 
poses for which this machine may be used 
are the following: Pumping water, sawing 
wood, shelling corn, running feed cutters, 
sewing machines, churns, butter workers, 
coffee mills, washing machines, cream 
separators, and, in fact, it is adapted to 
furnish power for a hundred different pur¬ 
poses. Upon application the manufacturers 
will be glad to furnish further information 
in detail and send circulars fully describing 
the machine. 
A New Potato Digger.— There are thou¬ 
sands of farmers in this country who are 
hunting for a potato digger that can be 
operated by two horses, and which will not 
take half the crop from four acres to pay 
for it. Dozens of cheap diggers have been 
put on the market during the past 10 
years, but most of them are now seldom 
seen except in a fence corner or under a 
junk shed. The latest candidate for pub¬ 
lic favor is the Wonder digger made by the 
York Digger Co., of York, Pa. “That 
ought to work!” That is the comment of 
a practical farmer of a mechanical turn of 
mind after studying a picture of this dig¬ 
ger. It can evidently be held down into 
the row for the plow share is large enough. 
The dirt and tubers will be thrown to one 
side, the vines held back by the upper 
rods, and the potatoes shaken free by the 
fingers. We have not seen the digger 
work, but it looks like the best low-price 
machine we have ever seen. We would by 
all means advise a trial of it.
