THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
September 1 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
MILK PRICES—At the last meeting of 
the Consolidated Milk Exchange the price 
was advanced to 2% cents per quart within 
the 26-cent freight zone. 
DRESSED POULTRY .has been unusu¬ 
ally scarce this week, and prices show a 
marked advance. The greatest demand 
was for Spring chickens, and some ordi¬ 
nary stock sold for 12% cents. There was 
also a good call for turkeys. 
BUTTER has jumped up another half- 
cent. Receipts show a still greater de¬ 
crease than last week. On account of 
weather conditions the make in many dis¬ 
tricts is running light There is an especial 
scarcity of fancy creamery and State dairy. 
EGGS.—The proportion of fancy quality 
arriving is small. Some of the best marks 
are irregular, showing more or less heated 
and defective stock. The long period of 
extremely hot weather greatly damaged 
eggs in transit, or held goods out of cold 
storage. 
LIVE STOCK—Receipts for the first four 
days of this week were 8,369 cattle, 128 
cows, 6,845 calves, 35,151 sheep, and 19,362 
hogs. Steers sold at $4.40 to $6; oxen, $3.60 
to $4.30; bulls, $2.35 to $3.30, and cows, $1.40 
to $3.50, with a few extra fat cows at $3.75 
to $4. Veal calves brought $5 to $8, and 
grassers, $3. The demand for sheep was 
light, common to good selling at $2.85 to $4 
per 100 pounds, and lambs, $5.75 to $6.75. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is the leading feature, 
and that is not specially active. Most of 
the Spring wheat is now cut, and general 
rains in the Northwest are greatly hinder¬ 
ing the thrashing. Corn is dull. Dry 
weather in the corn district is injuring the 
crop. There will be a great many short 
ears. Trade in oats is light. Most of the 
crop is harvested and except in parts of the 
Northwest, is said to be good. A little ex¬ 
port business has been done in rye recently.

BUSINESS BITS. 
Another chance to avoid backache on 
wash day is offered by W. L. Chester, 
Camden, N. J. He is manufacturer of the 
Improved Perfect Washer. 
Mr. A. H. Hoffman, Landisville, Pa., is 
offering a choice quality of seed wheat to 
R. N.-Y. readers. It is a heavy yielder, 
and fine quality of grain. 
The Maud S windmill seems to be as 
great a favorite in the windmill trade as 
the famous trotter was in her palmiest 
days. The manufacturers give a very 
strong guarantee. For full information 
write “Maud S” Windmill and Pump Co., 
18-24 So. 7th St., Philadelphia. 
Seed grain should, above everything else, 
be thoroughly cleaned. Weeds usually 
make their appearance readily enough 
without sowing them. Henry Phillips Seed 
and Implement Co., Toledo, O., give their 
farm seeds an extra run through the fan¬ 
ning mill. Write for their wheat circular 
and price list. 
The sled corn cutters were discussed in 
a recent issue of The R. N.-Y. Farmers 
seemed to differ about their work, but it 
seems to be settled that the “Scientific” 
cutter made by the Foos Mfg. Co., Spring- 
field, Ohio, is the safest and most useful 
one on the market. The knife wings fold 
up when not in use, and there is a useful 
device for tying bundles, which is sent free 
to all who buy the “Scientific.” Look this 
up! 
A strong, durable and highly efficient 
power is needed for operating farm ma¬ 
chinery. If the power is portable It pos¬ 
sesses many advantages over the station¬ 
ary power. In many sections it is found 
advantageous to have a community power 
—one which is owned conjointly by several 
farmers—and which may travel about from 
farm to farm as needed, supplying power, 
for thrashing, cutting silage and other 
feed, grinding grain, sawing wood, etc. 
Among those powers especially well adapt¬ 
ed to this use is the Rumely traction en¬ 
gine. The Rumely engines differ from 
others of their class, in their easy steam¬ 
ing qualities, and that they possess un¬ 
usual actual horse power. In addition they 
are very simple and easy to handle. Their 
traction qualities are excellent and make 
them fast travelers on the road. It will be 
well for any farmer, or association of 
farmers who think of buying an engine to 
look into the merits of the Rumely before 
buying. Address the Rumely Company, La 
Porte, Ind., for handsome free catalogue. 
Rotation with Beans.— We do not think 
beans exhaust the soil to as great an ex¬ 
tent as corn, but the ,T bean timber” in our 
soil seems to be in smaller quantity than 
that required by corn, and very few farm¬ 
ers meet with success if they undertake to 
grow a second crop of beans in succession. 
Our best beans follow a good crop of 
clover. Have never heard any complaint 
of farmers being unable to secure a catch 
of clover In wheat, following beans. 
Leroy, N. Y. n. b. keeney & son. 
Wood Ashes on Cabbage.— In some in¬ 
stances, wood ashes or shell lime have 
been used around cabbages, but the prac¬ 
tice is by no means general. There is no 
doubt that the plant is somewhat stimu¬ 
lated by them, but I think only so far as 
they supply plant food, and the expense 
of putting it around each plant is such as 
to make the practice of doubtful practical 
value. I do not think it has any effect on 
either the Cabbage maggot or club root. 
We have never been able to kill the mag¬ 
got except by use of bisulphide of carbon. 
Club root is very hard to get rid of when 
once a piece of ground is infected, but it 
can be pretty well avoided by a proper ro¬ 
tation Of Crops. J. M. LUPTON. 
Long Island. 
Wheat in Indiana.— The wheat crop in 
this part of the State was practically a 
total failure; probably not one acre out of 
100 being harvested. No one has ever seen 
such a complete failure. A comparatively 
dry Spring, following a hard snowless 
Winter killed what the Hessian fly had al¬ 
ready weakened. The effect was the same 
on fields that were well fertilized when 
sown. Many farmers are discouraged, and 
will not sow any wheat this Fall, prefer¬ 
ring to await future developments. Per¬ 
haps this is not wise. Practically all wheat 
ground was broken and planted in either 
corn, oats, millet, or buckwheat. This 
should lessen the number and effect of the 
Hessian fly on the coming crop, so that 
farmers may sow without fearing much 
damage from the pest. Most farmers will 
sow very late in corn ground or oat stub¬ 
ble, others will follow directions given by 
experiment stations. The acreage will, 
from present indications, be much below an 
average w. b. f.

This is the only successful darning 
machine we ever saw. We have tried 
others that were absolutely of no value. 
This one is little short of perfect. It 
enables you to mend underwear, stock¬ 
ings, curtains, table linens, clothing, and 
does an endless variety of art and fancy 
weaving better, easier and quicker than 
by any other way. Full directions ac¬ 
company each machine. When a lady 
has once used this little machine, she 
would not do without it for any con¬ 
sideration. We will send it postpaid for 
$1, or for two new yearly subscriptions 
at $1 each. All money returned if not 
satisfied.
