DRESSED POULTRY.—Receipts are 
heavy, and large shipments are reported 
on the way. The only strong feature of the 
market was the scarcity of Spring chickens. 
Nearby ducks and geese are plentiful. Tur¬ 
keys are in the best demand of any frozen 
poultry. 
THE GRAPE OUTLOOK.—From Dun¬ 
kirk, N. Y., comes the report that, at the 
recent grape-shippers’ meeting, the crop 
for that section was estimated at 4,000 cars. 
Committees were authorized to contract for 
1,000,000 baskets. It is said that better 
transportation rates have been secured. 
BUTTER.—The demand is active, and 
there is no trouble in maintaining the rate 
of 20 cents for extras. Some gilt-edge lots 
have been placed a trifle higher, but not 
enough to warrant a quotation. Slate dairy 
is scarce. There is a fair call for fresh- 
packed factory. Exporters are making 
some purchases at 19 cents. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were 8,1G5 cattle, 
223 cows, 7,088 calves, 26,187 sheep, and 17,360 
hogs. Steers brought $4.85 to $5.75; oxen, 
$4.50 to $5.15; bulls, $2.40 to $4; and cows, 
$1.75 to $4, with a few western dry-fed at 
$4.30. Trade in milch cows was dull, $30 to 
$48 covering most of the sales. Veal calves 
sold at $5 to $7.50, and buttermilks and 
grassers, $2.50 to $4. Sheep and lambs sold 
well, sheep bringing $3 to $5 per 100 pounds, 
and lambs, $5 to $7.15. 
GRAIN.—The wheat market has im¬ 
proved, and export trade is brisk. The 
drought, which has about ruined the wheat 
in North Dakota, has now been followed 
by a rain, which threatens to damage 
much of this poor wheat before it can be 
stacked. It was cut just before the rain, 
and lies in bunches liable to injury by 
sprouting. The cash demand for corn is 
good, and a large amount of business was 
done. Advices from Kansas state that 
the crop there is suffering greatly for rain, 
and that late corn will be almost a total 
failure. Rye, oats and barley are dull.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Sometimes apple growers find it hard to 
get barrels. Robt. Gillies, Marlboro, N. 
Y., seems to understand the situation. Pie 
says you can get them of him just wiien 
you want them. 
Whenever you w'rite to an advertiser, 
we would appreciate it, if you would men¬ 
tion The R. N.-Y. It will please the ad¬ 
vertiser as well as us, and secure consider¬ 
ation for yourself. 
The Belcher & Taylor Agricultural Tool 
Co., Box 75, Chicopee Falls, Mass., is anx¬ 
ious to tell feeders of the superior quality 
of the Baldwin, and Gale-Baldwin fodder 
cutters. The firm sends an illustrated cat¬ 
alogue on application, and the goods will 
be all that is claimed foi them by this 
firm. 
How to protect milch cows and other 
kinds of live stock from flies is a problem 
that confronts every man with a hoof of 
live stock on his place. Various methods 
and preparations are used. Cattle Com¬ 
fort, made by B. Hammond, Fishkill-on- 
Hudson, N. Y., is giving good satisfaction 
for this purpose. It is sold by merchants 
generally, and especially by seedsmen. 
The Horse and His Diseases is the title 
of a little book published by Dr. B. J. Ken¬ 
dall Co., Enosburg Falls, Vt. It is sent 
free to horse owners by the publishers, for 
the purpose of interesting them in Ken¬ 
dall’s spavin and splint cure, but the book 
is none the less valuable on that account. 
You can get it by request on postal card. 
Just mention The R. N.-Y. when you do it. 
John H. Jackson, the tile manufacturer 
of Albany, N. Y., has written a little book 
on Benefits of Drainage and How to Drain. 
He covers the subject very completely, and 
lays down plain directions for economic 
drainage. He recommends the round agri¬ 
cultural tile for the work. But get the 
book, if you have any interest in drainage. 
He will send it free to readers in New 
England, Middle, Atlantic and adjacent 
States. 
The use of a ram instead of a windmill 
for elevating water m country places is 
made thoroughly practical by the success¬ 
ful device known as the Rife hydraulic en¬ 
gine. It is not dependent on wind or 
w'eather for its operation. The manufac¬ 
turers claim to elevate water 30 feet for 
every foot of fall in the driving head. The 
machine is built in capacities as high as 
175,000 gallons per day, and an efficiency of 
82 per cent is claimed. To obtain complete 
information of this ram write for descrip¬ 
tive and illustrated circulars to Power 
Specialty Co., New York City. 
If you wish to make at home a little 
cider, or wine, or press some lard, the 
Ames Plow Company, Boston, Mass., will 
send you some information about presses 
for this purpose that is sure to interest you. 
They furnish the presses from $4.25 up¬ 
wards, and what they send out is sure to 
be up to claims for it. The same firm 
makes the Dr. Bailey silage and dry fodder 
cutters in six sizes for hand and power. 
Owing to the short hay crop in some sec¬ 
tions, dry fodder cutters will be in some 
demand this season. The Dr. Bailey cut¬ 
ters are all right for any purpose. Descrip¬ 
tions of all will be sent on application. 
An immense amount of labor is saved by 
having just the right tool to do certain 
kinds of work. I used to shovel corn and 
vegetables with a wooden scoop. It was 
hard work, but there was nothing better 
to use. There is now. It is the Diamond 
scoop fork. It is just the thing for hand¬ 
ling vegetables, such as beets, onions, pota¬ 
toes, corn, or lime, coal, or fine manure. 
The tines are oval with fiat points, so they 
do not cut or bruise vegetables, and are 
made from one piece of best steel. It will 
outlast several ordinary steel or wire 
scoops, and is much easier to use. The 
Diamond scoop-fork is made by the Ash¬ 
tabula Tool Co., Ashtabula, Ohio, who will 
send you free a catalogue of special farm 
tools. The fork can be had of dealers.
