THE RURAL NEW-YORKER: 
September 22 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
EGGS.—The receipts are heavy. The 
quality of those from the northern sections 
of the West is reported as somewhat im¬ 
proved, yet there is no surplus of the better 
grades. 
CHEESE.—The offerings are light, and 
an effort is being made to raise the price 
on large fancy to 11 cents. The sale of 
1,500 boxes of colored refrigerator stock at 
10% cents to an exporter is reported. 
BUTTER is firm. There has been a drop 
of one cent in extra since last report, but 
the price is again tending upward, and it 
looks as though the 22-cent mark might 
soon be reached again. The best trade is 
in extras and State dairy. 
DRESSED POULTRY.—There is a good 
supply of all stock except fowls, and for a 
day or two of this week fowls sold better 
than chickens—a rather unusual occur¬ 
rence. The demand for Spring turkeys is 
weak, and trade in ducks is also light. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were 8,274 cattle, 
149 cows, 5,091 calves, 36,110 sheep, and 18,851 
hogs. Steers sold at $4.50 to $5.75; one pair 
of fat oxen brought $5.50; one fat bull, $4.65, 
and common, $2.50 to $3.75. Good milch 
cows sold at $25 to $50. The calf market 
was strong, veals bringing $5 to $8.75, and 
buttermilks, $3.50 to $4. Sheep sold at $2.75 
to $4.50, and lambs, $5 to $6.25.

Southern Heat.— By the way, Mr. Hope 
Farm, if you think you have it hot in New' 
Jersey, come down here in August and 
spend a week or two at a temperature of 
92 to 97 and see how you like it. Our nights 
are generally cool enough to be comfort¬ 
able, but when it comes to days we are 
in the “Sunny South” and don’t you forget 
it. We have been having rains for the last 
week, but they have been rather too late 
for many of the crops; cabbages were j 
about burned up and late corn ditto. If 
ever I do any gardening in this section, 
and I rather think the same remark will 
apply to general farming, I shall try to 
put myself in condition for irrigation. 
These occasional droughts take all the am¬ 
bition out of the tiller of the soil. r. o.

BUSIMESS BITS. 
E. B. Woodward, 302 Greenwich st., 
New York, has a large trade in dairy but¬ 
ter. Write him for quotations and ship¬ 
ping instructions. 
A correspondent on page 619 mentions 
his satisfaction with the Bowsher No. 2 
feed grind mill. This mill is made by the 
P. N. Bowsher Co., South Bend, Ind. 
Send George P. Hammond & Co., 34-36 
Little 12th st., New York, a trial ship¬ 
ment of your fruits or vegetables. They 
also sell on commission all sorts of farm 
produce. 
Farmers who are at all handy with tools 
may save many repair Dills by having a 
little repair shop on the farm. A forge, 
especially useful for the farm repair shop, 
is made by C. R. Harper Mfg. Co., Box 246, 
Marshalltown, Iowa. 
We have recently used Tuttle’s Elixir to 
remove swelling caused by bruise on val¬ 
uable young colt, and can highly recom¬ 
mend it for such purposes. It is a good 
thing to have in the stable for immediate 
use. Dr. Tuttle has a little book, “Veter¬ 
inary Advices,” which he sends free. Ad¬ 
dress Dr. S. A. Tuttle, 30 Beverly st., Bos¬ 
ton, Mass. 
The home feed grinding mill seems to be 
growing in favor. Most farmers find that 
it costs less labor to grind a load of grain 
at home than to cart it to a local mill, 
where there is delay and toll to pay. The 
Peerless Grinder, made by W. J. Adams, 
Joliet, Ill., has been before R. N.-Y. read¬ 
ers for several years, and those who have 
used it find it a good investment within the 
limit of our advices. Catalogue, etc., may 
be had by addressing as above. 
There is a greater demand for corn cut¬ 
ters this season than for several years 
past, because of the short hay crop and 
the consequent increase of corn as supple¬ 
mentary cattle fodder. This demand stim¬ 
ulates manufacturers to improve and per¬ 
fect their cutters. Some new and desirable 
features are shown in the New Cyclone, 
made by Farmers Mfg. Co., Massillon, O. 
It is well to be familiar with all the im¬ 
provements when making a purchase. 
Readers of The R. N.-Y. who have been 
interested in dishorning will remember the 
Keystone dishorning knife, as being in¬ 
vented and manufactured by the late A. C. 
Brosius. After Mr. Brosius’s death the 
business was carried on by Mr. M. T. Phil¬ 
lips, w'ho has now purchased the business, 
and removed it to Pomeroy, Pa., where he 
enjoys better facilities than at the old 
place. For any information concerning the 
Keystone knife, address M. T. Phillips, 
Pomeroy, Pa. Your inquiry will receive 
courteous attention. 
The wheat crop here is an entire failure; 
none thrashed in the township. Tomatoes 
are a very short crop. Hay scarce, and 
sold from the field at $12. Potatoes, a fair 
yield, selling at 40 and 45 cents. Sugar corn 
good, and brings $6 at the cannery. No 
apples; few plums; plenty of pears; no 
peaches. Melon vines are dying. Field 
corn will be an extra good crop. Oats made 
a large yield, and are selling at 18 cents. 
Wages on the farm are from $16 to $20, ip.- 
cluding board. w. H. L. 
New Paris, Ohio. 
My father and I are running a fruit and 
vegetable farm of 80 acres. We have 
taken away the road fence and have a row 
of grapes trellised instead. The Michigan 
law gives the privilege of planting trees 
eight feet from the fence, so we planted 
apples, all of which are in bearing. The 
total of trees in a block would make three 
acres; 40 acres of the farm are in fruit, 
the remainder is in garden; eight acres of 
asparagus which is the largest plantation 
in Michigan as far as I know. 
Michigan. K. n. t. 
The dry weather still continues. Pas¬ 
tures are very short; hay worth $20 per 
ton; none to sell at that price. Salt-hay 
crop is affected by drought same as up¬ 
land. Potatoes not over half crop; corn 
is up to the average; onions are small, no 
sale here as yet. Potatoes 80 cents. Rye 
crop good; straw $8 per ton at barn; rye 
60 cents per bushel. Apples are small, af¬ 
fected by t-ie dry weather. Pigs $5 per 
pair; eggs 24 cents. ■ Some are picking 
tomatoes for the canneries at 25 cents a 
bushel. J. d.

There are 10 or 11 silos in our town, and 
I am sure that Red Cob silage corn suits 
more men than any other variety. I have 
an Eclipse planter, and plant 35 to 40 acres 
per year for other people, and help fill two 
of those silos and on light land Red Cob 
grows from 12 to 17 feet high. Some plant 
Sanford and other kinds. I think that the 
common yellow dent corn will give more 
silage than the Sanford, but for a large 
amount of silage Red Cob fills the bill, but 
needs a week or a few days longer to grow 
than the Learning. P. c.

It Is Hard Work 
To get successful results with the wrong material. 
The market ,is flooded with mineral products 
that dry up and scab over sores. No man would 
dare use them on himself, but thinks nothing of 
doing so on his horse. 
Veterinary Pixine 
on old and chronic sores penetrates to the cells 
receiving natural blood supply, transforms and 
stimulates layer upon layer of active cellular 
tissues, making a quick, clean, healthy cure. Its 
alterative power, reinforced by its antiseptic and 
nutritive properties, kills the germs and counter¬ 
acts blood poisoning Years of actual tests 
proves it is absolutely impossible for sores, 
scratches, grease heel, skin disease, hoof rot or 
mange, on horses and domestic animals, to resist 
its vital healing power. It heals by granulation, 
the only scientific and natural method. Money
