THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
July 14 
MARKETS. 
HETIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
LIVE POULTRY.—Receipts are light 
and demand moderate. A few Indiana 
Spring chickens brought 18 cents, but this 
is extreme, most of them going at 16 cents 
or under. Turkeys, ducks and geese sell 
slowly. 
HOPS are firm. The indications are that 
the crop in this State and Washington will 
be good. The vines in Oregon are said to 
be troubled with vermin. The present de¬ 
mand is light, but there is no pressure to 
sell on the part of holders. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—Southwestern 
iced fowls are plentiful, and dealers are 
offering freely at nine cents to clear up 
the surplus. Western scalded Spring 
chickens are lower, but dry-picked lots are 
scarce and sell readily at 18 cents. 
CHEESE.—The demand for large sizes is 
good, and the market Is keeping closely 
cleaned up. At present the proportion of 
white offered Is less than the colored. A 
few special lots have sold at 9% cents, but 
most trade is on the basis of 9% for fancy. 
BUTTER business is quiet. Extras have 
dropped one-half cent from last report, 
with a few exceptional lots going a frac¬ 
tion higher. The quality is showing some 
hot weather defects, and the proportion 
that will bring the highest price Is not so 
large as for the last month. Exporters 
are handling some fresh factory at 16 
cents. 
VEGETABLES.—There was considerable 
hustling July 3 to clean up the stock of 
perishable stuff that would be scarcely 
salable after the holiday. The receipts 
from the extreme South are very light. 
There is a fair supply coming from Jersey 
and other nearby points, and this home¬ 
grown produce is preferred by buyers. Po¬ 
tatoes are very low, prime southern Rose 
bringing only $1 to $1.50. 
GRAIN.— Wheat has dropped below the 
90-cent mark, and, while somewhat un¬ 
steady, appearances are that It will not 
go above this at present. The crop pros¬ 
pects in Russia and Great Britain are said 
to be favorable. The European market has 
not kept up with the wild advance on this 
side caused by speculation, but the price 
there is steadily rising, and dealers say 
that it has about reached a point favorable 
for export trade. Corn Is following wheat 
closely. The country offerings are report¬ 
ed small, and the cash demand good. The 
Kansas crop is said to be in good condi¬ 
tion, but 15 to 20 days more of good weather 
will be required to make a big yield sure. 
Oats have fallen behind a tiifle. Local 
trade is fair, but export demand light. 
Rye is weak and generally neglected, both 
by local and export dealers.

Triangular-Framed Wef.ders.— I am 
pleased to see The R. N.-Y., a paper that 
I have taken from its infancy, is keeping 
up to date. In The R. N.-Y. of May 26, 
under head of Hope Farm Notes, are these 
words, “We find the Anti-clog weeder a 
very useful tool. The anti-clog feature of 
it is all right, in the hands of a man who 
knows enough to lift it in time.” I would 
add, and has the inclination, for it re¬ 
quires some labor with the straight frame. 
This labor is much less with triangular 
frame. If Hope Farm and others inter¬ 
ested will look a few numbers back they 
will find in The R. N.-Y. an advertise¬ 
ment of a weeuer which has many advant¬ 
ages. First, a triangular frame, a shoe 
or slide in front, which saves hall this la¬ 
bor of lifting, and as most farmers now 
are crossing the rows of potatoes, and 
other crops, the work Is facilitated, doing 
a better job and dropping the rubbish in 
the furrows between the rows, which 
could not be done with straight frame.

A Hay Producer Writes: 
“ Farmers often sell their crop to home buyers 
rather than take the chances of shipping It to 
market themselves. I have shipped my hay for two 
years to F. D. HEWITT, l!iO Liberty Street, 
New York, and it has netted me much better 
results than when sold to home dealers."

The Dowden Mfg. Co., of Prairie City, 
Iowa, have made improvements on their 
potato digger for the present season, a 
new device, introduced for the better clean¬ 
ing and delivering of the potatoes after 
they have been dug. Roller bearings have 
been applied to the main drive shaft which 
greatly reduces the draft. The main chain 
or shaker proper is now operated with ob¬ 
long sprockets, which in operation has a 
tendency to raise and lower alternately and 
otherwise agitate the shaking device. The 
effect is thoroughly to shake out all dirt, 
gravel, etc., and leave the potatoes clean. 
This is one of the standard diggers, ana 
potato growers will do well to write for a 
catalogue giving full information.
