THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.' 
August 25 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
BEANS.—Reports from the bean-produc¬ 
ing sections of New York State are not 
favorable. The drought has caused much 
damage. Marrows hold up to $2, and some 
dealers are not ready to sell at this price 
even. 
EGGS.—The local demand has been suf- 
iicient to absorb all the choice stock, which, 
however, comprised but a small part of the 
receipts. There are numerous complaints 
of hot weather defects. There is an es¬ 
pecial surplus in the grades selling at 11 to 
12 cents. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is dull, with but little 
speculative interest here or in the West. 
Corn is leading all other grains. Small 
receipts west and a big cash demand are 
the causes. Oats are up in sympathy with 
corn. The crop reports are favorable. Rye 
and barley are quiet. 
BUTTER has advanced one cent. Dry 
weather in dairy sections is the cause. 
Buyers think the present prices too high 
and are taking only what they need at the 
moment. Exporters are out of the field. 
A continuation of these conditions for a 
few days will doubtless bring down the 
puce. There are many complaints of the 
irregular quality of late receipts. 
LIVE STOCK.— Receipts for the first three 
days of this week were: 8,021 cattle, 178 
cows, 6,506 calves, 40,831 sheep, and 17,875 
hogs. Steers sold at $5 to $6; oxen, $4.20 to 
$4.65; bulls, $2.15 to $3.25, and cows, $1.30 to 
$3.60. Milch cows with calves were low, 
bringing $20 to $55. Veal calves sold for $5 
to $7.75, with a few tops at $8; grassers and 
buttermilks, $3 to $3.75. Sheep were dull, 
bringing $2.75 to $4.50, and lambs, $4.50 to 
$6.75. _

MILK. 
New York Exchange price within 26-cent 
freight zone, 2% cents per quart. 
I do not think there has been five acres 
of wheat grown in our township in 15 years. 
The farmers abandoned wheat growing on 
account of Chinch bugs 30 years ago. 
Milk, pork and beef is their business. We 
are eating Vermont Beauty pears and 
watching the weeds grow in these days of 
rain and heat. Rye was good; oats are 
good and corn—well, the prospects for a 
heavy crop never were better. Prices are 
all right. s. e. h.

The Tornado silage and dry fodder cutter 
acts very much as its name would indi¬ 
cate. It cuts either dry fodder or silage 
corn without change of cutter head. A 
catalogue giving full description and the 
points of superiority will be mailed free. 
Address W. R. Harrison & Co., Massil¬ 
lon, O. 
The R. N.-Y. gave a symposium some 
time ago on the blower attachment for 
silage cutters. It is conceded by all to 
have a great advantage over the old man¬ 
ner of elevating the cut fodder. The only 
drawback is the extra power required. We 
note that the Silver Mfg. Co., Salem, O., 
have adapted the blower to their line of 
New Ohio ensilage cutters. 
In baling hay, an attractive bale must be 
produced. If you wish to do this work 
yourself, the Gem or Victor bales have al¬ 
ways proven equal to anything ever offered 
for the purpose; they have been so greatly 
improved this season, as easily to prove 
better than anything with which they come 
in competition. The manufacturers. Geo. 
Ertel Co., Quincy, Ill., will place them on 
five days’ trial where satisfactory terms 
are offered, which we think are very easy. 
Write them for their large catalogue and 
circulars giving further information. 
The scarcity of hay in many sections 
this year has stimulated unusual interest 
in corn husking and shredding machines. 
The first successful husker and shredder 
ever built was put on the market by the 
Keystone Manufacturing Co., of Sterling, 
Ill., and they still manufacture the largest 
lines of these machines in the world. The 
husker and shredder has evidently come to 
stay, and the new features have made it 
a practical labor-saving machine. The 
wind stacker device is a device which will 
be appreciated by all users. A new illus¬ 
trated catalogue of these huskers and 
shredders will be mailed free to anyone 
requesting it.

A Hay Producer Writes: 
“ Farmers often sell their crop to home buyers 
rather than take the chances of shipping It to 
market themselves. 1 have shipped my hay for two 
years to F, D. HEWITT, 130 Liberty Street, 
New York, and it has netted me much better 
results than when sold to home dealers." 
easier to dig gold out of good Texas soil 
than from the sands of an Arctic seashore, 
and that, while those w'ho went to Cape 
Nome may come back poorer than when 
they went, they will know more. 
Connecticut Notes. —The welcome rain 
of July 2 revived the growing corn as well 
as the hearts of the farmers in this town. 
It came in good time for most of the corn. 
Early potatoes were partly helped. The 
farmers are putting in turnips now since 
the rain. Some pieces of potatoes are 
green and growing.. The potato and hay 
crop is not over one-half usual amount. 
Oats very small; berry good. Grains have 
advanced. Corn, 55 to 60 cents per bushel; 
oats, 38 cents per bushel; bran, $1.15 per 
hundred weight; potatoes, 75 to 80 cents per 
bushel; green corn, 15 to 20 cents per dozen; 
cucumbers, squashes, beets, etc., five to 
eight cents per dozen; onions, $1 per bushel. 
Eggs, 20 cents per dozen, every egg war¬ 
ranted good. Old hay, good, $19 per ton. 
Rye is in and good. Pears and apples have 
suffered by drought. The weeds have start¬ 
ed since the rain and are growing to make 
up for lost time. It has been a very hard 
time for new-seeded grass land, but the 
last rain helped it very much. Butter and 
milk would be stationary if the weather 
was cold enough Hot as it has been, with 
dry weather, butter has shown a tendency 
to run up as well as milk in price. Very 
little market except for immediate con¬ 
sumption. m. h. j.
