THE RURAL NEW-YORKER] 
September 29 
MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK. 
DRESSED POULTRY receipts are light, 
and, with an increased consumptive de¬ 
mand the tone of the market has improved. 
Fowls have advanced one-half cent. The 
Spring turkeys on hand now are of irregu¬ 
lar quality, and there is some surplus of 
these. 
LIVE POULTRY trade is very active this 
week on account of the preparations being 
made for the Hebrew New Year, September 
24. There is a good supply of Spring chick¬ 
ens, but a scarcity of fine fowls and tur¬ 
keys. Fancy ducks are selling well, some 
at over 60 cents per pair. 
BUTTER.—Extra fresh table grades are 
one-half cent higher than at last report. 
State dairy is rather scarce, and prime 
would sell well. Factory is going slowly, 
and conditions are in buyers’ favor. Quite 
a little storage creamery is being used by 
the jobbing trade, but no large transactions 
are reported. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for the first 
three days of this week were 9,826 cattle, 
173 cows, 6,579 calves, 37,851 sheep, and 19,647 
hogs. Steers brought $4.25 to $5.65; oxen 
and stags, $3.65 to $4.65; bulls, $2.50 to $4, 
and cows, $1.70 to $4. Milch cows with 
calves ranged from $30 to $48. Veal calves 
sold at $5 to $8.75, with a few extras at $9; 
mixed lots, $4.25 to $4.50, and yearlings, $2.75 
to $3. Common to prime sheep brought $3 
to $4.75, and lambs, $5 to $6.25. 
GRAIN.—The wheat trade has shown in¬ 
creased activity within the last week, and 
a small advance in price is noted. Instead 
of following wheat as usual, corn is dull, 
and this is the more surprising in view of 
the heavy rains in the corn district, which 
hinders the movement of the crop toward 
market. Speculation in oats is light. The 
strongest point in the trade is that, on ac¬ 
count of the short hay crop in the East, 
many more oats will be fed in this section 
during the Fall and Winter. Rye is a 
shade higher, though but little trade is re¬ 
ported.

BUSINESS BITS. 
If anyone wants a well-bred Jersey bull 
calf the White Oak Ridge Stock Farm, 
East Orange, N. J., can supply the want. 
It is an opportunity. 
Mr. P. M. Sharples, the manufacturer 
of the Sharpies cream separator. West 
Chester, Pa., has been informed through 
Major Henry A. Alvord, Chief of the Di¬ 
vision, that the Sharpies separators have 
been awarded the gold medal at the Paris 
Exposition. 
A spring on the bolster of the lumber 
wagon saves lots of jars, and prevents 
bruising of fruits and vegetables in trans¬ 
portation. These springs cost little, and 
are made suitable for different weights. 
They can be had from the Union Buggy 
Co., 55-59 Saginaw St., Pontiac, Mich. 
The International Correspondence School, 
Box 1410, Scranton, Pa., has just issued a 
little booklet addressed particularly to 
farmers, and intended to show what they 
can do through the instruction of this 
school. Send and get it. it may start you 
off on a profitable course of study at home. 
Every farmer does not feel that he needs 
a stock scale, but those who buy feed and 
sell stock cannot well afford to be without 
it. The scales Lake transactions out of the 
realm of guesswork, and give one an actual 
knowledge of just what be is doing. The 
Usgood is just the scale for the purpose. 
It is made by Osgood Scale Co., 103 Centre 
St. Binghamton, N. Y. 
There are hundreds of people in this 
country who have lost an arm or leg. That 
seems like a terrible misfortune, but mod¬ 
ern invention has taken the sharp edge out 
of it. A. A. Marks, 701 Broadway, New 
York, makes artificial limbs which are light 
and easy. They have joints which lack 
only blood and ilesh to be human. We have 
had occasion to help secure such a limb, 
and know how satisfactory it was. 
When the average farmer with a dairy 
concludes that he is going to cut his pota¬ 
toes and turnips by hand and feed to stock, 
one can safely look for a waste of these 
foods before the season is over, if not for 
a choking accident among the stock. It is 
slow work, and is likely to be poorly done 
or neglected. The roots are either frozen 
or run into the grass season when the 
stock do not care for them. For these rea¬ 
sons a root cutter is a good investment. It 
does the work well, and cheaply. The Ban¬ 
ner root cutter, made by O. E. Thompson's 
Sons, Ypsilanti, Mich., has been used by 
R. N.-Y. readers for many years. It is all 
right, and so are the manufacturers. If 
you have roots to feed, send for their cata¬ 
logue.
