THE RURAL NEW-YORKER; 
July 28 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW A HO OUTLOOK. 
MILK PRICES.—At a special meeting of 
the New York Consolidated Milk Exchange 
held July 14, It was agreed to advance the 
price of milk to 2% cents per quart within 
the 26-cent freight zone. 
BUTTER dropped one-half cent early in 
the week, but recovered half of this later. 
The hot weather has af’ected the demand 
by retailers, but speculators have been 
active, and exporters are preparing to 
send a good-sized shipment to London next 
week. It is claimed that the State dairy 
now arriving is of very irregular quality. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were: 8,369 cattle, 
211 cows, 8,502 calves, 33,738 sheep, and 22,- 
184 hogs. Steers sold at $4.40 to $5.60 per 
100 pounds; bulls, $2.50 to $3.60, and cows, 
$1.80 to $3.90. Milch cows with calves 
brought $30 to $50. The calf market was 
slow and weak. Veals brought $3.75 to 
$6.50, with a few tops at $6.75, and butter¬ 
milks, $2.25 to $3. Sheep sold at $3 to $4.S0, 
and lambs, $5 to $7.10. The hog market 
was weak, quotations running from $5.50 to 
$5.75. 
GRAIN.—Wheat has been up and down 
during the week, but closes at about the 
same figure as last reported. During the 
past few days the outlook for the world’s 
crop has improved, but everything is un¬ 
certain yet, and speculators are buying or 
selling on the strength of reports from vari¬ 
ous authorities. Corn has declined. Crop 
reports from the West are generally favor¬ 
able, and brokers here have heavy selling 
orders. Trade in oats has been quite 
active both for home demand and export. 
Rye and barley are dull and lower.

“Beautiful Strawberries in 1901,” say T. 
J. Dwyer & Son, Cornwell, N. Y., by plant¬ 
ing their pot-grown plants this Summer. 
Just Inquire as to what a small investment 
now will supply your table with luscious 
fruit next June. 
Our advice has always been to ship only 
choice fruit to market. It will pay better 
to make the knotty or otherwise imperfect 
apples into cider. We should be glad to 
recommend the well and favorably-known 
Boomer & Boschert Press Co., 118 Water 
St., Syracuse, N. Y., to anyone seeking a 
good cider press. 
There is no question that the hay crop 
is a light one. The market hay, however, 
will not be reduced in proportion to the 
shortage of the crop, as most farmers have 
put in extra corn to supply roughage for 
home consumption. Market hay must be 
baled to bring best prices. The Gem Baler 
will bale 10 to 15 tons a day. Geo. Ertel 
Co., Quincy, Ill., is the manufacturer. 
We hope all our readers have looked far 
enough ahead to plant a few extra acres of 
corn to make up for the short hay crop. 
From reports we have received, we think 
most of them have. To get the greatest 
value from the corn crop it must be cut for 
silage or cured dry for fodder. In either 
case a good cutter is a necessity. There 
are a number of good ones represented in 
our advertising columns, but some one may 
just suit your particular needs better than 
any other. Get the. catalogues and make a 
little study of them to decide which is best 
for you. 
B. T. Binney, of Elmira, N. Y., under 
date of July 9, 1900, writes: “I have used 
Tuttle’s Elixir for the last four years. It 
does not burn the coat, and I never saw a 
horse come out sore from a hard race if 
used according to directions; and besides 
being a good body wash, it has no equal for 
thrush, colic, rheumatism, or any ailments 
that horse or man are subject to. I cheer¬ 
fully recommend it to all brother drivers. 
I am never without a dozen bottles of it, 
Winter or Summer.” Dr. S. A. Tuttle, 27 
Beverly St., Boston, Mass., is the manu¬ 
facturer. He will send you a book, the re¬ 
sult of his long veterinary experience, free. 
The Crimson-Clover Crop. 
I think seed is scarce on the Delaware 
Peninsula, and to-day is worth $5 per 
bushel. There was rain interfering with 
harvesting but the recent dry weather 
has allowed of gathering in fair shape. As 
to Pea louse and Crimson clover, the pea 
and Crimson clover both belong to the 
legumes. The clover does harbor the 
louse, but it is just as likely that the 
greatly-increased acreage in peas brought 
the louse as that the clover did. The 
clover keeps the louse from the early pea 
crop, but not the late, so the late crop has 
been sorely stricken. I think we should 
continue to plant both crops, using our 
wits in the struggle. Nature has her own 
ways of working and we must follow Na¬ 
ture. Some natural enemy will come along to 
eat up this Pea louse, now so formidable. 
Practical men will continue to work on 
these lines and with such hopes. I know 
of Crimson-clover hay that has been 
thrashed of its seed, balling in and killing 
horses; and have heard of it doing so in 
horned cattle. I believe it is a dangerous 
food for both. I have never heard of it 
injuring sheep, and is first-class food for 
them I understand. The balling is called 
by the fuzzy capsule of the seed pods. Cut 
the hay young before the seed hardens and 
you avoid all such dangers. J. J. b.

Cured Hemorrhage of the Lungs. 
Mr. I. T. WISECARVER, Falrtield, Iowa, Janu¬ 
ary 25, 1899, writes: 
1 can safely say that Jayne’s Expectorant has done 
me more good than all other medicines combined. I 
had hemorrhage of the lungs ffom 1876 to 1883; went 
to California for my health, and it did not do me 
any good. I afterwards tried a bottle of Jayne’s 
Expectorant, and it helped me, so l continued to use 
It. I bought TWELVE bottles in all, and IT CUBED 
ME. I keep it always In my family, and cannot get 
along without it.— Adv.
